Yimo, You Can't Escape!

As night fell, it was 11 PM.

The famous red-light district of Demon City was lined with various large KTVs, discos, bars, and entertainment centers.

Compared to the high-end clubs, this area was lacking, but it was perfect for white-collar workers on their 996 schedules to unwind and go wild after work. All sorts of services were available, and the area was frequently raided, with many issues uncovered and people arrested.

However, those arrested were usually the small-time operators looking to make a quick buck, rarely the big bosses or financiers behind it all. This meant the problem was never truly solved, and the chaos continued.

Young people looking to make a name for themselves in the underworld still flocked here, eager to carve out a living.

Qin Muse had changed into her school uniform and slung a black bag over her shoulder. Her beautiful face and figure, combined with her long pink hair, attracted the attention of many street toughs. They would occasionally approach her, whistling and making suggestive remarks.

"Hey, beautiful, it's not safe to be out alone this late. Come have some fun with me?"

"Is it your call around here?"

However, Qin Muse rejected them all with a firm tone.

Perhaps it was the aura she had developed in the death game that deterred the touts. They didn't press their luck and left with sheepish smiles, thinking she was too formidable and likely had someone backing her.

As the surrounding thugs sized up Qin Muse, she was also discreetly observing them, searching for her target.

Finally, as she approached a disco, a tough in his thirties appeared.

Unlike the other thugs, he wore a tank top and shorts, his body covered in intricate tattoos. His hair was cut short and dyed green, and his eyes held a sharp glint. A noticeable scar ran from the corner of his eye all the way to his ear.

"Brother Wolf, a top-tier schoolgirl just arrived!"

"The guys went to talk to her, but not only did they fail to pick her up, she completely intimidated them."

"She said she wants to talk to whoever's in charge around here."

"Brother Wolf, you're the only one who can handle this girl!"

Several thugs in their twenties joked, occasionally throwing in some crude jokes to liven the atmosphere.

Upon hearing this, Brother Wolf's interest was piqued. "Well, well, she's alone?"

Thug: "Yeah, all by herself, and she's got amazing presence!"

Brother Wolf: "None of you could handle her? Hahaha…"

"Alright, I'll go take a look!"

Brother Wolf had been hanging around this area since he was fifteen. He started from the very bottom and had now reached his thirties, a full twenty years. Back then, those who started with him had only three possible outcomes: death, prison, or getting rich and going legitimate to start a business.

And Brother Wolf?

He actually owned two bars and a foot massage parlor.

By all rights, he shouldn't have been involved in this kind of thing, but he genuinely enjoyed the feeling of being among the common folk. He hadn't forgotten his roots and often drank and fought with his brothers, though the fighting had decreased.

Nowadays, fights were more about money. Most disputes, unless they escalated completely, were settled through negotiations mediated by a third party.

Brother Wolf was the ideal candidate for the real bosses upstairs.

He understood the rules of the underworld and had seniority!

So, while he didn't exactly run this area, he knew and could talk to all the influential bosses here.

Brother Wolf hadn't taken it too seriously at first, just planning to accompany his brothers to check it out and have some fun.

But the moment he saw Twilight, his eyes lit up.

What could be said?

She was unlike the common pretty faces he usually encountered!

She was beautiful and had a great figure, and her composed demeanor, coupled with her slightly cold expression, was incredibly captivating!

"Wow… she's perfect!" Brother Wolf's mind was made up. He straightened his floral shirt and, with a gentlemanly air, walked over.

The younger men beside him chuckled but quickly followed, not daring to overstep, their laughter helping to set the mood.

"Hey, beautiful, wandering around here alone so late at night?"

"Judging by your appearance, you're still a student, right?"

"How about this, I'll accompany you for a stroll, what do you say?"

In essence, Brother Wolf's approach to striking up conversations wasn't much different from the other thugs; he simply had money and some influence.

Twilight turned to look at Brother Wolf, sizing him up. "Is it your call around here?"

Brother Wolf's ears perked up at this, sensing an opportunity. He quickly patted his chest. "Haha, no one can definitively say who calls the shots around here!"

"But your Brother Wolf, at least in this area, everyone gives me face. If you want to do something, follow me, as long as you don't mess with Golden Splendor, you can do whatever you want."

Golden Splendor was the largest entertainment complex in the area and the most expensive establishment.

Twilight saw that he was indeed different from the average thug and was older, making him a suitable candidate. She said coldly, "I have something to discuss. Let's find a less crowded place."

"Heh! No problem, do you want to choose, or shall I?"

"I know plenty of quiet places, foot massage or KTV?"

Twilight: "No need, just follow me."

Brother Wolf didn't think the young girl in front of him had anything important to discuss. At most, she wanted to find someone to fight or latch onto a rich and powerful figure.

He quickly agreed and followed Twilight.

He even looked at his younger followers, who were grinning cheekily, and kicked the one closest to him in the rear: "Damn it, be serious, don't scare her away!"

Thug: "Heh, what are you saying, Brother Wolf? In this neighborhood, you think that little girl can get away?"

Brother Wolf slapped him on the head again and said, "What era is this? Get those messed-up thoughts out of your heads, or you'll get into trouble sooner or later!"

"Now it's all about money and feelings! Be sharp later, don't follow when you should leave."

"Heh heh, yes, yes, yes, how could we ruin Brother Wolf's mood!!" the thug said smugly.

Brother Wolf heard this and put on a stern face: "Pah, mood? You didn't even finish junior high, yet you have so many words."

"But these words are good, I like them!"

Then, without saying more to his subordinates, he quickly followed.

Twilight chose a rather dark alley, the only light coming from an old street lamp that illuminated a limited area.

In other words, this kind of place is basically deserted, and no one would know if anything happened here!

Heh, this little girl, you can't tell she's quite wild!

Brother Wolf thought this, feeling very pleased: "Tell me, what's the matter? After all, I'm your Brother Wolf."

"Haha, Brother will handle it for you."

Twilight turned back and looked at Brother Wolf. His tone was very unpleasant to her, but she didn't get angry directly. She said coldly, "I need to investigate someone. The more detailed the information, the better. I only know their name and age. Can you do it?"

Brother Wolf patted his chest: "Just this little thing?"

"Hah, it's a piece of cake, but you see, since Brother is helping you so much, how will you thank Brother?"

As Brother Wolf spoke, he leaned towards Twilight. He didn't intend to do anything directly, but getting closer to take some advantage first wouldn't be bad.

Wouldn't it?

He just wanted to touch Twilight's hand.

But Twilight's crimson eyes became sharp. In an instant, her right hand grabbed Brother Wolf's wrist and forcefully twisted it.

"Ah!!!" A pained scream followed as her grip tightened on his wrist joint. He couldn't help but cry out in pain, his body involuntarily bending down. Then he looked up at Twilight and yelled, "Damn it, what are you doing!"

The girl's strength was too great. He, who had been a thug for 20 years, couldn't resist at all. He felt like his wrist was about to break. How could he not be angry!

However... Twilight didn't stop at all; instead, she increased the pressure.

Crack—!

A crisp sound, accompanied by Brother Wolf's contorted face in agony, kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help but yell: "Ah!!!!"

"I... I'll kill you!!!"

As Brother Wolf yelled, his subordinates who hadn't gone far into the alley and were planning to watch the show were startled and rushed out.

They wanted to hear the little girl scream, not their boss howling like a ghost!

More than a dozen people, seeing their boss actually subdued by that little girl, and looking like he was seriously injured, immediately surrounded them, intending to subdue Twilight first.

But...

"Don't... don't come any closer!!!!"

With Brother Wolf's roar, everyone around was stunned, not understanding why their boss would say that.

But upon closer inspection, they were shocked.

It turned out that at this moment, the girl's right hand was still restraining Brother Wolf's wrist, while her left hand held a rather large, pure silver revolver, pointed at Brother Wolf's head.

Brother Wolf looked up, feeling the coldness of the revolver's muzzle. Whether it was fear or pain, his forehead was covered in sweat, and his expression was hesitant, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Little girl, I don't know who sent you to mess with me."

"But do you think a toy gun can scare someone who's been a thug for 20 years?"

His tone was low, seemingly suppressing his anger, but he didn't dare to be too arrogant.

Twilight looked at him like he was trash, without replying, and pulled back the hammer with her thumb.

Click—

The crisp sound might be drowned out by the noise of the red-light district.

But Brother Wolf heard it exceptionally clearly.

"Investigate, or don't investigate." Twilight's voice carried a hint of coldness, her crimson pupils seeming to exude the scent of blood.

Thump...

Thump...

Brother Wolf's mind was already blank, his whole body trembling. Finally, he couldn't bear the pressure and gave up struggling.

"Investigate!"

"I'll check!" His voice was tinged with a hint of despair.

Twilight looked at Brother Wolf, released his wrist, and put the revolver into a specially made pocket inside her school uniform. She casually tossed the black bag slung over her shoulder next to Brother Wolf.

Hiss...

Several red things fell out, exceptionally vibrant.

"200,000, your payment and medical expenses."

"The target's information and my phone number are in the bag, find them yourself."

"By noon tomorrow, I want what I want."

"Or I'll kill you."

After speaking, Twilight didn't even glance at Brother Wolf again. Under the gaze of the thugs who were watching dumbstruck from the side, she left.

After she departed, the thugs rushed over to support Brother Wolf. One of them said indignantly, "Boss, you're just going to let that little girl go like that!"

"Let's find some people and set a trap to kill her!!!"

Brother Wolf, however, lowered his head and said sternly, "Forget about it!"

"That gun was real..."

"That girl, she'll really kill people..."

"And she's probably killed before."

"We kicked a steel plate today, all of you should go back to what you were doing."

Thug: "Boss, we should get to the hospital first!"

Brother Wolf gritted his teeth, shook his head, and took out his phone from his pocket with his left hand. He told his subordinates to quickly find the note in the bag and then started making a call: "Hey there, Brother Wu, I'm really sorry to bother you so late."

"Hey, I didn't cause any trouble, don't worry!"

"By the way, little brother has a small urgent matter, I need to check up on someone, I need the information by 10 AM tomorrow at the latest."

"Didn't sister-in-law fancy an Omega UFO Series watch? I happen to have a little brother who just came back from outside, and he brought a new one."

"Hey, it's not expensive, not expensive at all, it's just over 40,000. You say, as a big man, I can't wear a women's watch..."

Before 9 AM the next day, Twilight had already received the information she wanted.

The name Yimo wasn't common, and there weren't many people with the same name. Twilight quickly sifted through them to find the one she was looking for.

"Yimo..."

"Luofeng City..."

Twilight murmured, her cold gaze filled with a hint of morbid excitement, and picked up her phone to book the earliest flight.

In Shangjing City, within a luxurious villa in a secluded courtyard.

A stunning silver-haired girl sat on the balcony, holding a cup of coffee, quietly gazing at the rising sun.

Beside her stood the housekeeper, who was over 70 years old. He held a tablet and said, "Miss, according to data monitoring, someone accessed your brother's information on the internal network yesterday."

"The people below tracked it, the IP originated from Demon City. After screening the data, they determined that someone might be plotting against your brother. However, we couldn't find out specifically who your brother offended."

"En, I know." The silver-haired girl's voice lacked emotion.

"Should I send someone to..."

"No need." The silver-haired girl finished speaking and stood up from her chair.

She was about 1.65 meters tall, wearing a white slip dress that reached her ankles. Her figure was somewhat slender, and her exquisite features gave her an otherworldly appearance.

She walked to the railing of the terrace and quietly looked at the sun, which resembled a disc in the distance, murmuring, "My brother is still too weak right now."

"It's not time yet."

"But, it's not like others can bully him either..."

"Grow up quickly, brother."

"I look forward to meeting you again soon..."

Volume One. End.
