My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 493

Jiang Zhe gave Qiao Zhan a thumbs up, signaling for him to continue.

After getting Jiang Zhe’s affirmation, Qiao Zhan’s expression became even prouder.

Thinking that he had done a good job, he finally felt superior to Jiang Zhe.

“I initially wanted to look for these few people, but I couldn’t. They probably left the city already. This shows that the other party is very meticulous. Knowing that we’ll investigate, they’ve sent those people away in advance,” remarked Qiao Zhan.

“So, have you run out of ideas now, Captain Qiao?” asked Jiang Zhe.

“Yeah. Do you have an ingenious idea, Assistant Jiang?” Qiao Zhan looked at Jiang Zhe.

“These people are just ordinary employees who don’t hold any grudges with Ms. Ding. In fact, they probably don’t even know each other. Hence, they must have acted based on their boss’ orders. Can’t we just investigate who their boss is?” scoffed Jiang Zhe.

Agreeing with him, Nan Chen turned his gaze to Qiao Zhan.

Qiao Zhan applauded. “Gotta hand it to you, you’re pretty smart to have thought of this, Assistant Jiang, but unfortunately, I’m one step ahead of you. I have already look into it and I found that the owner of the nightclub is a certain Mr. Gao. However, he’s not the actual boss—Bao is the man behind him.”

“Bao?”

“Yep. He’s the president of Rainbow Entertainment, Gao Bao. He calls himself the ‘King of the Night’ in Flower City, controlling more than half of the nightclubs here. He even owns some secret gambling and prostitution dens. He’s a very scheming man. You haven’t heard of him, have you, Assistant Jiang?” said Qiao Zhan.

Indeed, Jiang Zhe had never heard of him.

Jiang Zhe was a finance executive in Nanshi Corporation, familiar with global politics and economic trends. He was also well-versed with both spoken and unspoken rules in various industries, but never was he involved in the underworld scene.

Normally, he was so busy working for Nan Chen that he did not have time to visit nightclubs. At the most, he would occasionally drink at some clubs. As such, he never had the opportunity to interact with the underworld scene and he was oblivious to the shady things that occurred there.

“King of the Night? He sounds quite formidable,” commented Jiang Zhe.

“That’s the title he gave himself. He just likes to brag about himself. That being said, to me, he’s nothing but an insignificant ant,” said Qiao Zhan confidently.

“Well, if even you look down on him, he’s probably not a big shot then,” remarked Jiang Zhe disdainfully.

“If that’s what you thought, then you’re wrong! Gao Bao is not just any ordinary man. All celebrities that wished to hold a concert in Flower City will need to pay their respects to him, sometimes even personally. Otherwise, they would not be able to hold their concert.”

“Why? Does he own the venues?” Jiang Zhe was still skeptical.

“He can’t interfere with the venue bookings. However, he can mobilize more than a thousand people to create a ruckus at the concert. If a celebrity decides to hold a concert, but the audience kept hurling insults at said celebrity, do you think that they’ll be able to continue with the concert?”

“Aren’t the police doing anything about him?” Jiang Zhe became even more confused.

“They can’t do anything. Who can prove that he’s the one who mobilized the crowd? It’s not just one or two troublemakers, we’re talking about thousands here. The police can’t possibly detain all of them, right?”

“So, does that mean that the police is helpless to do anything about him? He can just continue living a lawless life like this?”

“Why do you think he calls himself the ‘King of the Night’?” Qiao Zhan threw the question back at him.

“There’s someone backing him up,” commented Nan Chen.

“That’s right. Sir Chen, you truly understand what’s happening.” Qiao Zhan shot a disdainful look at Jiang Zhe.

“So what?”
