Chapter 103: Nobody Move—Hands on Your Head and Squat Down!

Staring at the young women on the yacht, Bai Qingming felt utterly astonished.

Goodness, is this the kind of happiness only the wealthy can afford?

This was truly eye-opening.

What does it mean to be rich?

These people were the genuine article.

Even though he now had a considerable sum himself, he was still a far cry from President Wang and these others. The games they played were in a different league—he’d never even heard of some of these amusements.

No wonder, he thought, people always say money is omnipotent.

He wondered who had come up with and organized such an event. Doing this sort of thing on a yacht—thrilling, safe, and with a sense of novelty.

Still, curiosity aside, Bai Qingming was self-aware enough not to ask too many questions.

“It’s your first time here, just watch quietly from the sidelines. And whatever you do, don’t speak out of turn,” President Wang advised.

At that moment, the yacht slowly started up, gliding away from the riverbank. The real show was about to begin.

The heirs made their way to the yacht’s grand hall.

The young women, as if responding to some silent cue, followed them in and lined up. Facing the wealthy heirs, each struck a seductive pose—enough to make any man stir, a gesture of respect.

Bai Qingming noticed their number tags, ranging from 1 to 100. For some reason, the scene struck him as oddly familiar, as if he’d seen it somewhere before.

Then it hit him.

Of course—it was just like the lineup at a club where customers picked their masseuses. Not that he’d ever been to such a place himself, he hastily reminded himself; it was all secondhand tales from friends.

He had to admit, though, that while all the women were stunning, those ranked further back looked distinctly less striking compared to the ones in front.

What surprised Bai Qingming even more was that he’d assumed the internet celebrities and starlets would occupy the top ten slots, but a glance revealed that all their number tags were in the twenties and beyond.

Noticing Bai Qingming’s surprise, President Wang lowered his voice and explained, “The top twenty girls have all been trained since childhood. This year, they’ve just come of age. In the future, each will be sent into the entertainment world to be molded into A-list stars or top internet celebrities—just like those current stars and influencers you see with numbers past twenty. Most importantly, those in the top twenty are ‘brand new,’ untouched.”

This revelation left Bai Qingming even more stunned.

Damn, these people were taking “grooming” to a whole new level.

It was truly depraved.

He couldn’t help but look at President Wang again.

No wonder he was called President Wang—he knew all the ins and outs, clearly a regular here.

“Don’t get the wrong idea—I’m just here for the first time too. Everything I know is from friends, really,” President Wang protested.

At that moment, the experts had already appraised the valuables brought by the heirs, ranking them by worth.

President Wang was ranked first!

Thus, President Wang selected Girl Number One—the top of the line.

“I’m stepping out to make a call,” he said, leaving the hall.

For some reason, Bai Qingming thought President Wang seemed distracted.

But before long, he returned.

Normally, the next step would have been to take Girl Number One off for whatever pleasure he desired, but President Wang made no move.

It wasn’t until all the heirs had chosen their companions that a sudden roar echoed from above the yacht.

Bai Qingming, closest to the door, peered outside.

At some point, a helicopter had appeared in the sky, and now several police officers were rappelling down on ropes.

On both sides of the yacht, several police speedboats had pulled up, and officers were already boarding.

“What the—what’s happening?” Bai Qingming was stunned.

In an instant, he realized—the activity these heirs were engaged in was illegal, not decent in the least.

It was clear the police were here for a raid!

He was doomed!

At that moment, Bai Qingming’s heart sank.

He hadn’t participated—he was just here to observe, to broaden his horizons. But who would believe such a story? No one with any sense would buy it.

Had he known, he’d never have come with President Wang.

More accurately, if he hadn’t foolishly liked President Wang’s social media post, none of this would have happened.

While Bai Qingming was frustrated with himself, the police burst in.

“Nobody move! Hands on your heads, squat down!”

Inside the hall.

They were caught red-handed.

In addition to the police, there were photographers snapping away, flashes going off one after another.

The supermodels seemed relatively calm, but the starlets and influencers panicked, covering their faces and pleading not to be photographed.

At this moment, President Wang suddenly grinned beside Bai Qingming.

“We’re on the same side!” he called to the police.

Then he clapped Bai Qingming reassuringly on the shoulder.

“Don’t be afraid, my friend. I’m actually an undercover agent!”

Bai Qingming could only gape in confusion.

Soon, President Wang explained everything.

The police had long been aware of the heirs’ illicit activities but couldn’t infiltrate due to the high status required for entry. None of their own could get aboard the yacht or gather enough evidence, so they were forced to wait.

So, the authorities approached President Wang for help.

He was, after all, one of the most prominent heirs—perfectly qualified for such an event.

To be honest, President Wang had received invitations from these heirs before, more than once in fact.

Though he enjoyed models and influencers, his principles were solid. As he put it, if you like someone, pursue her; if you’re bored, move on; if you can’t win her, spend more money. It might be troublesome, but at least it’s aboveboard and safe.

But antics like those of these heirs were clearly illegal.

So he’d consistently refused their invitations.

This time, though, when the police asked for his help—and with such an exciting mission—he agreed without hesitation.

As for why he brought Bai Qingming along, it wasn’t really about broadening his horizons. In truth, President Wang feared running into danger while undercover and used the “eye-opening” excuse to have Bai Qingming as backup.

Just now, when President Wang left the hall to make a call, he was alerting the authorities that everything was ready.

That was the signal for the police nearby to board the yacht.

Having heard President Wang’s explanation, Bai Qingming was left speechless.

Impressive!

It was like a scene from a crime thriller.

So it really was President Wang’s first time here.

So, was everything alright now?

“Nobody move! Squat down!” the police repeated.

But at that moment, one of the heirs spoke up from the crowd.

“Ahem, actually, I’m an undercover agent too. If you don’t believe me, you can check—just make a call.”

He looked awkward, to say the least.

But before he was done, someone else chimed in.

“Actually, I’m the same—I’m with you.”

“What a coincidence! Me too!”

“No way, are you all undercover?”

“Undercover plus one.”

In the hall, the heirs spoke up one after another.

For a moment, the air froze, and silence fell.

What on earth?

Was everyone an undercover agent?
