Who would have thought that on the Huaxia Continent, such a dark place could exist, so dark that people dare not look directly, fully exposing the most hideous aspects of humanity for others to voyeuristically scrutinize— it's somewhat cruel.

"Even if you've recorded everything, would you dare to broadcast it?"

Ling Zhenfei quietly asked Zhuo Yue, who was practically in shock. She was a girl and it was her first time witnessing with her own eyes the multitude of things she had previously not even dared to imagine.

"I must blow this open, even if the TV station doesn't allow it, I will expose it online."

As Zhuo Yue spoke, tears welled in her eyes; as a reporter who had seen the cruelty and life-and-death of the world, she never expected to witness such a dark side of humanity.

"I have an idea?"

"What is it?" Ling Zhenfei did not know what Zhuo Yue was thinking this time.

"I want to steal the member list of this club."

Ling Zhenfei was brave, but upon hearing Zhuo Yue's words, he paused. Zhuo Yue was a bit too crazy. It had already been extremely difficult to enter this club, and the idea of stealing the member list was simply impossible.

Everything in the Imperial Palace Club was what men dreamt of obtaining. There must be countless wealthy individuals and officials inside, all of it classified. Apart from the club owner, there surely wouldn't be a second person who knew about it. If there was, it had to be hidden in a very secretive place.

"Are you crazy? How could we possibly find such a thing?"

"I have experience. Although their membership cards do not display names, the transaction records for membership top-ups definitely contain the names of the members and the amount of money added. Just find that, and all the officials here can be caught at once."

"Even if there is such a list, where should we go to find it?"

Zhuo Yue, clearly very experienced, whispered to Ling Zhenfei: "Every place has a main computer storing all the account information of the club, and naturally, that would include the member list."

Wandering inside the Imperial Palace Club, they casually made their way around the entire venue.

A man and a woman wandering in the Imperial Palace Club were hardly out of the ordinary and would not attract the attention of others.

After their reconnaissance, they finally ascertained the general layout of the Imperial Palace Club. There was one corridor at each of the club's four corners, leading to other areas, one of which was their entryway.

The remaining three corridors were unknown, but each had guards stationed by them. There were no fewer than four guards per location, and each guard was burly, with tattoos of dragons and tigers that made clear they weren't genteel folk.

"What now, how do we get past? With so many guards, it's simply impossible."

Zhuo Yue was extremely worried after seeing this situation.

"What you should be thinking about is, which of these three directions should we take. As for how we get there, I have a way."

Although there were four guards, Ling Zhenfei didn't take them seriously; they were just ordinary people after all, unable to stop him. The real question was which of the three corridors to follow.

"There must be another exit among these three corridors; they say a sly rabbit has three burrows, and I don't believe the Imperial Palace Club has only one entrance. Excluding the entrance we used, we're left with two corridors. That makes our search much simpler."

"The corridor to the west is the most heavily guarded. The guards at the other three corridors are obviously distracted and not very strict. Only at the west corridor are the four guards not just tall and burly but also diligent, never leaving their posts. I suspect that corridor is the most important."

Ling Zhenfei didn't expect Zhuo Yue's observational skills to be so strong, so meticulous; he hadn't noticed these details himself.

Without hesitation, the two headed towards the western corridor.

"I'm sorry, this is a dead-end. Please go back and enjoy your time," said one of the guards, blocking their path as they approached the doorway.

"You're out of line. Doesn't your Imperial Palace Club have a rule? Here, I am the Emperor, and all my requests should be satisfied. Is this how you fulfill the Emperor's wishes? Careful, or I'll drag you out and have you beheaded," Ling Zhenfei pretended to be drunk and began cursing at the man blocking their way.

The man scoffed, clearly thinking that Ling Zhenfei was being overly dramatic.

"Kid, you're thinking too much. Let me tell you, this side of the door is the Imperial Palace Club; one step inside and it's no longer the club. So, go back and play Emperor. If you dare to step inside, I'll turn you into a eunuch."

"What's inside that you won't let me through?"

Ling Zhenfei shifted tactics and began to coax for information in a softer manner.

"Whatever's inside is none of your business, take good care of your kidneys instead."

Zhuo Yue whispered to Ling Zhenfei, "Stop wasting your breath and get on with it while nobody's paying attention to us here."

Ling Zhenfei nodded subtly, aware that no one would notice them. People came to the Imperial Palace Club to spend money, and after paying so much, who would care about what others were doing?

"Oh, I get it, big brother, is there something prettier inside? Does it cost money to get in? Tell me how much it costs. I've got plenty of money, I'll give you some to let me in for a good time," Ling Zhenfei continued to speak as if clueless.

"What money? It has nothing to do with money. Leave quickly, or don't blame us brothers for being inhospitable."

The four robust Big Men were all on the move, two steps towards Ling Zhenfei and Zhuo Yue, apparently intending to use force.

However, Ling Zhenfei acted as if completely oblivious and continued to speak. Then, suddenly, he pointed behind the four men and exclaimed, "And you say there are no women, what about that woman over there?"

All four men turned in surprise to look behind them, unaware of any woman in the corridor. But in that moment, Ling Zhenfei's body moved swiftly, his movements as fast as Lightning, targeting the acupoints on the chests of the four men. They couldn't even cry out before becoming immobilized.

Ling Zhenfei went on to target several more acupoints on their bodies, and the four men knew nothing more.

Supported by Ling Zhenfei, the four men stood propped against the wall, seemingly alert at the door from a distance, but who could have guessed that they had already passed out.

"You are really amazing. Is that acupoint targeting technique from the martial arts novels?" Zhuo Yue asked Ling Zhenfei in amazement as they walked through the corridor, with Ling Zhenfei now resembling a martial arts master in her eyes.

"It's somewhat like acupoint targeting. I simply utilized knowledge from acupuncture to block several key points on their bodies. When the airflow is obstructed, of course, they would faint," explained Ling Zhenfei.
