Inside one of the private rooms, Ling Ni had just finished putting her clothes on. Tying her hair in a low ponytail, she reach for her bag.

"Here's your pay."

The bulky man hands a stack of money to Ling Ni. He was already dressed and held a cigarette in his hand.

"Thank you. I will leave first."

Ling Ni force a sweet smile and takes the money. Putting it inside her bag, she stood up to leave the room.

Outside in the hallway, Liu Shan calmly walks to find the room Steelhead and Gao Jie were in.

"Hey, you can't be back here."

Up ahead, a man calls out to stop Liu Shan when he saw that Liu Shan was leisurely strolling through the hallway.

This section of the bar is for the customers, but in order for them to enter, they must pay for a room and the guard patrolling will be notified. However, Liu Shan did not pay for a room and he (the man) had not been notified.

"He's with me."

From behind the man, Yuanyuan's voice sounds as she walked out from the room she had led Steelhead and Gao Jie into.

Walking up to Liu Shan, she held his arm and smiles.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Our room is this way."

Seeing that Liu Shan is with Yuanyuan, the man felt like an idiot for assuming things. He smiles a chuckle and apologize.

"Ah, sorry. Since you are Miss Yuanyuan's guest, you may go."

Liu Shan looks down at the beautiful woman next to him. He gives her a smile in thanks.

Returning the smile, Yuanyuan moves her hand from his arm and held his hand in a playful manner.

"Shall we?"

Although she had asked her question, she was already pulling Liu Shan in the direction of a private room.

"Liu Shan?"

Just as they stopped in front of the room next to Steelhead's, a woman's voice calls Liu Shan's name.

Ling Ni had just stepped out of the room when she saw Liu Shan walk pass. She was surprise to see him at Glory, but seeing him with a woman other than her, she felt like the air around had become hard to breathe in.

Her lips lightly trembles, and she takes a step towards the man.

"Liu Shan, it is you right?"

Even if his back is turned to her, she knows that it is him.

Hearing her voice, Liu Shan felt like someone had dug his heart out and stomped on it. His legs froze in place and he was unable to move.

Holding the door halfway open, Yuanyuan looks at Liu Shan then to Ling Ni. Her brows slightly furrow, and she asks.

"Mr. Liu, is she someone you know?"

Yuanyuan's voice brought Liu Shan back to his senses. Without looking at Ling Ni, he place his hand on Yuanyuan's back and gently push her inside the room.

"You're the only one I know."

As the two enter the room, the sound of the door closes and Ling Ni was left alone in the hallway.

She could not believe what she was seeing. Liu Shan who is always sweet and caring is actually here for some women. Not only that, he even said he didn't know her.

"You're still here?"

Just as she thought this, the bulky man steps out of the room. He was surprised to see Ling Ni had not left. Thinking of something, he reach to grab her butt and pulls her towards him.

"Shall we have another round?"

Ling Ni press her palm against the man's hard chest to keep herself from stumbling. However, hearing his words, she shook her head.

"I'm tired. I'll see you next time."

Knowing he had been a little rough with her, the bulky man didn't think much and place his arm over her shoulder.

"I'll take you home then."

As the two walks away from the room, Ling Ni didn't forget to look at the tightly shut door to the room Liu Shan had enter. She wanted to go and confront him about the woman, but who is she to do so.

That woman with Liu Shan is indeed prettier than her. Maybe it is for the best that they go their separate ways.

Inside the room, Liu Shan sat on the cushion bench and he stare into a blank space.

When he found out about what Ling Ni was doing, he remember she was meeting that man again. Since she's here, it can only mean that the man is someone from the underworld.

Sitting next to him, Yuanyuan made sure she was not too close to him. She quietly sat by his side and let him have the time to himself.

From what she saw, Liu Shan pretended not to know the woman they ran into. However, when he said he only knew her (Yuanyuan), she was indeed happy, but at the same time, she felt pain in her chest as she could see the hurt in his eyes.

That woman must have been someone important to Liu Shan.

Thinking this, she takes a deep breath and reach for a bottle of alcohol that is place in each room. Pouring two glass for them, she hands one to Liu Shan.

"Do you want to talk about it or drink this?"

Her words brought him out from his thoughts, Liu Shan glance at the glass. The corner of his lip faintly arc, and he takes the glass from her hand. Downing it one gulp, he sighs aloud.

"Thanks."

Never did he expect to run into Ling Ni here, but he is thankful that it was Yuanyuan who helped him.

He is Yue Ling's confidant and in the past when he was still roaming the underworld, Yuanyuan was his confidant. He trust her enough to tell her things that he has never told anyone.

Not because she is service girl, but because she is a good person and someone he trusts.

Seeing him so lost in thoughts again, Yuanyuan couldn't bare to see him look so sad.

She faintly chuckles and leans against the wall. Lightly swirling the glass in her hand, she decides to cheer him up.

"I didn't know that Fate's infamous Liu Shan can have his heart broken like this."

Hearing her words, Liu Shan sullenly pout his lip. He gives her side glare and scoffs a chuckle.

"In that case, I didn't know that the sister of Glory's boss is still portraying herself as a service girl."

Yuanyuan had just taken a sip for her glass when she almost choked on his words. Patting her chest, she set her glass down and looks at the man.

"Glory is my home. I can be whoever I want."

Turning his head to look at her, Liu Shan did not know what to think anymore. However, he faintly smile as he knows that she is trying to cheer him up.

He looks down at the empty glass in his hand and he part his lip to speak.

"You should really stop pretending to be a service girl. It doesn't look good on you."

Others only know that Yuanyuan as a service girl, but only he and Yue Ling knows that she is the sister of Glory's boss. Not even the people working inside Glory know this secret.

Why? He doesn't even know because it's not his business.

Yuanyuan smiles to him when she heard his words full of caring for her. However, she does not answer him but reach for the bottle to fill his empty glass.

Once his glass was full, she finally spoke.

"Steelhead and Gao Jie are negotiating in regard to Chu Li Xiang's trafficking business."

Setting the bottle back on the table, her words continue.

"If the plan falls through, Blue Axe and Snakehead are going to help Chu Li Xiang take over Black Dragon."

Hearing her sudden words, Liu Shan's eyes dimmed murderously. He knows that Yuanyuan is not lying because she is a close friend of Yue Ling's and Glory has always been loyal to Fate.

However, thinking about her words, he scoffs a chuckle.

"That man is trying to reach too high for something he cannot have."
