Chapter 5: Chapter 003: Young Lady, Please Conduct Yourself with Dignity

Even now, he still couldn't figure out exactly what kind of world he had arrived in; everything about it felt so foreign to him.

After several attempts, there was still no one speaking inside the mobile phone. He refused to believe that he couldn't learn to use something that everyone else could. He believed his IQ was no inferior to those bodyguards outside who only knew how to follow him around.

After researching it for a long time with no results, in an attempt to figure out what kind of magical thing was inside the phone, the poor device was actually split into two pieces by his forceful hands.

"Brother Yao." Leng Gang stood outside the door, calling out softly while knocking.

Helian Jue tossed the broken phone aside. "Come in!"

Hearing this, Leng Gang pushed the door open and walked over to stand beside Helian Jue. "Brother Yao, you were looking for me." His gaze flickered toward the phone lying to the side.

Leng Gang had long since grown used to this. Ever since Brother Yao lost his memory, he had forgotten everything, even how to put on clothes. But none of that mattered; as long as Brother Yao was safe and sound, they were satisfied.

The words "Brother Yao" caused Helian Jue to raise an eyebrow in displeasure. "Leng Gang, I have told you many times, I am not your Brother Yao, nor am I some Chairman. My name is Helian Jue. Helian Jue. Do you hear me?"

Seeing Leng Gang looking at him again with that "understanding" gaze, his desire to leave became even more resolute.

"Brother Yao, I know. You have amnesia right now and can't remember anything, but it's alright. I believe that gradually, you will remember everything from the past."

Leng Gang had great confidence in him; he believed that Brother Yao regaining his memory was only a matter of time.

"Fine, stop talking," Helian Jue said with a headache. Even if he had a hundred mouths, he wouldn't be able to convince Leng Gang.

Seeing that Leng Gang indeed fell silent, Helian Jue continued, "Make some arrangements. I want to go out for a walk. And by the way, don't let those annoying people at the door follow me."

If he let those people follow him, would he even have a chance to leave?

"Alright, I'll go arrange it right now." Only now did Leng Gang remember that Brother Yao had been back for so long and hadn't gone to see Sister Wang.

In the past, whenever Brother Yao returned from handling business, the first thing he would do was go to the Golden Mantis.

The Golden Mantis was a nightclub under the Sanhe Society, and the one managing it was Lei Yao's woman, "Wang Jiazhi."

Seeing Leng Gang agree so readily, Helian Jue found it somewhat hard to believe. Since his return, he had tried to go out many times, but he had always been stopped by the people of the Sanhe Society, who insisted he could only leave after his injuries had healed.

Seeing that Leng Gang's expression didn't look like he was lying, he finally believed him.

Leng Gang took out his phone, gave a few instructions, then turned to Helian Jue and said, "Brother Yao, everything has been arranged. I will take you there now."

Helian Jue nodded and walked out of the room with Leng Gang. Seeing that the bodyguards at the office door really weren't following him, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Without them, it would be much easier to leave.

However, upon arriving at the gates of the Sanhe Society, Helian Jue realized he had thought too simply. Seeing several black sedans parked at the entrance made him frown once again.

He thought to himself: can these lifeless cars really move, and carry so many people as well?

Looking at the bodyguards beside the cars made him feel even more uneasy. He turned to Leng Gang and said, "Didn't I say to tell them not to follow me?" As he spoke, his expression darkened.

"Brother Yao, your injuries haven't healed yet, so just let them follow you! They are all highly skilled; I'll only feel at ease if they are by your side," Leng Gang said earnestly. Since Lei Yao had woken up, everything had changed, except for that stubborn temperament.

Helian Jue grew angry upon hearing this and swept a cold glance at Leng Gang. "Leng Gang, what do you mean by that? Do you think I can't protect myself without them? Or is it that my words as Chairman carry no weight at all?"

His voice suddenly turned cold, and his expression became incredibly serious.

"Brother Yao, for your safety, they must follow you. If you are dissatisfied with them, I can personally stay by your side to protect you," Leng Gang said, refusing to give up.

If not for his duties, Leng Gang would truly follow Helian Jue step for step, never leaving his side.

Now that Brother Yao had amnesia, he couldn't let him act recklessly. If something happened, he might as well be allowed to die a quick death.

"You..." Veins bulged on Helian Jue's forehead as he could no longer suppress the fury in his heart. He took a step forward, grabbed Leng Gang by the collar, and glared at him in a rage.

Facing his anger, Leng Gang did not yield an inch. Instead, he pulled out a gun and placed it in Helian Jue's other hand.

"Brother Yao, if you insist on going alone, you'll have to step over my corpse," Leng Gang said firmly, looking as though he would rather die than let Brother Yao leave alone.

Seeing that Leng Gang was ultimately concerned for his well-being, Helian Jue couldn't actually do anything to him. It seemed he would have to find a way to escape later; for now, he would just walk out of the Sanhe Society first.

Helian Jue released his grip on Leng Gang's collar. Looking at the gun Leng Gang had placed in his hand, he felt conflicted again. What could one do with a black object like this? Regardless of the consequences, he shoved it into his pocket and turned to get into the car.

Leng Gang was still uneasy. He gave instructions to the bodyguards once more before standing aside to watch the car depart.

Sitting in the car, Helian Jue's attention was drawn to the interior environment. He had ridden in one when returning from Thailand, but at that time, because he was still struggling to accept this world, he hadn't noticed the unique characteristics of the sedan.

Watching the high-rise buildings and trees flash past, Helian Jue was certain that even the best lightness skill couldn't match even half of this speed. He couldn't help but wonder: what would happen if Loulan had these?

Just as he was lost in thought, the car door opened. "Chairman, we have arrived. Please step out." The bodyguard stood respectfully by the door.

After Helian Jue got out of the car, a building of over ten stories came into view. Looking up, the words "Golden Mantis" were written in sweeping, cursive calligraphy above the entrance. It didn't look like it had been painted on, but as for how it got there, he didn't want to investigate just yet.

The most important thing now was to shake off these annoying bodyguards behind him.

Although it was daytime, people were still coming and going in front of the Golden Mantis, suggesting that business was quite good.

"Golden Mantis," Helian Jue mused, wondering what exactly was inside.

The bodyguards knew the Chairman had amnesia and couldn't remember many things, so one stepped forward and whispered beside him, "Chairman, let's go in."

Helian Jue ignored him, instead scanning the surroundings of the building. Noticing there were several other exits, he strode inside.

The magnificent, golden decorations inside the Golden Mantis left him stunned. The walls were so polished they reflected images, clearer than the mirrors in Loulan.

In particular, the multicolored lights at the top caught his attention. How did the people of this era accomplish all of this?

The receptionist at the front desk saw that the visitor was the Chairman. In the next second, she rushed to Helian Jue's side and said in a flirtatious voice, "Chairman, it has been quite a long time since you last visited the Golden Mantis!"

The close proximity brought a pungent scent of perfume to his nose, which Helian Jue disliked from the bottom of his heart. In the next second, he gave the woman a cold, warning glance, signaling her to stay away.

The woman felt unwilling and tried to step forward again, but she was startled by the icy chill in Helian Jue's eyes. A second later, she gave a forced laugh and tactfully retreated to stand behind the front desk.

"Chairman, this way please." The bodyguard standing beside Helian Jue guided the way.

He led Helian Jue directly to Wang Jiazhi's office. Following a series of knocks, an extremely sultry voice drifted from within.

"Come in."

The bodyguard opened the door, revealing an office decorated with an extremely suggestive atmosphere: pink walls, a deep purple sofa, and a bouquet of freshly bloomed red roses on the desk.

None of that was the focus. The most captivating thing was the lovely woman standing by the desk—an incredibly glamorous woman who was currently smoking, her sexy red lips gently exhaling a plume of smoke.

Her curvaceous body was clad in a low-cut, tight-fitting dress the same color as the red roses, accentuating her exquisite, shapely figure.

The proud peaks beneath her collarbone looked as if they might spring out at any moment. She was more beautiful than the flowers; such a woman could drive any man mad. She was the manager of the Golden Mantis, Wang Jiazhi.

Wang Jiazhi turned around with a smile. When she saw the person standing at the door, the smile froze on her face, and the cigarette in her hand slipped to the floor.

"Brother Yao." With a soulful cry, she flew toward Helian Jue like a butterfly in the next second, throwing herself at him without hesitation and hugging him tightly.

Helian Jue's expression stiffened. Did the women here have no sense of shame? To embrace a man so casually in front of so many people.

He reached out to pull away the slender arm wrapped around his neck. "Lady, please behave yourself." As he spoke, he took a step back to maintain distance from Wang Jiazhi.

Having passed by the lower floors just now, he had roughly understood that this place was likely a brothel, just with a more pleasant name in this era.

This made him feel even more disdain for the woman before him. If it weren't to escape the bodyguards following him, he truly wanted to turn around and leave.

Wang Jiazhi was stunned by her beloved man's cold attitude and distant tone. It took her a moment to react before she flashed a smile she believed to be breathtakingly beautiful and said, "Brother Yao, you're so mean. We haven't seen each other for so long, and you still want to tease me. I missed you to death."

As she finished speaking, she stepped forward again, reaching out intimately to pull at Helian Jue.

Helian Jue, however, dodged even faster, leaving Wang Jiazhi's hand hanging awkwardly in mid-air.
