Until the children first noticed something was wrong.

“Hubert, you stand over there, don’t move.”

They stood at opposite sides, exchanged glances, and both exclaimed, “The dimensions are wrong!”

“Daddy! There’s a hidden section here!”

Jasper understood immediately, a flash of cold light in his eyes. “Smash the wall!”

The restaurant manager’s face instantly turned ashen.

As the wall was forcefully breached, the hidden secret was finally exposed.

He looked at the dark, deep passage, his heart sinking.

The manager, fearless, jumped out. “Sir, I advise you not to do this. You can’t afford to offend our boss.”

Jasper’s suppressed rage was ignited. He punched the man, his leather shoe grinding against the manager’s head. He laughed through his extreme fury. “Can’t afford to offend? I’d like to see who dares to touch my people! Go in and search!”

Tatiana seemed to sense something and snapped her head up, causing her lipstick to smear.

Faye immediately complained, “Didn’t I tell you not to move! It’s all crooked!”

Outside, the sound of many footsteps approached, accompanied by gasps of alarm.

Faye looked out. “What’s all the noise about!”

“Faye! It’s bad! There are people, lots of people coming!”

The moment she finished speaking, the changing room door was kicked open, and a fam figure stood against the light.

Jasper quickly scanned the room, his gaze accurately locking onto a certain direction, and he strode over.

When Tatiana saw him, the anxiety she had been holding finally subsided, her voice carrying a trace of unconcealed grievance. “Why did it take you so long?”

“I’m sorry, I’m late.”

He looked down at her attire, immediately taking off his suit jacket and placing it over her.

Only then did she realize she was still wearing the overly revealing maid uniform!

How embarrassing!

She clutched the suit jacket tightly, standing up to walk toward him. “Let’s go back quickly. This place is wrong!”

Who would have thought a normal–looking restaurant would be involved in illegal activities!

“I’m sorry I dragged you into this.”

“You know that’s all that matters. Where are Ann and Hubert? You didn’t bring them in, did you?”

“They’re outside. I had the bodyguards protect them.”

She sighed in profound relief. She certainly didn’t want the children to see some things that shouldn’t be seen!

She followed Jasper out of the changing room, finding that the outside area was already controlled by his men. Every maid was squatting obediently on the floor, hands clasped over their heads.

There were also a few shabbily dressed men, all looking pale with fear.

She scanned them one by one, then suddenly stopped. “Wait, one person is missing.”

“Who?”

“The bald man. He’s the person in charge here. We need to catch him!”

Her intuition told her that bald man was not simple, and letting him go now would definitely lead to future trouble.

“Search!”

Unfortunately, the bald man had already escaped.

The restaurant was quickly surrounded by police and taken in for investigation.

Following a thorough interrogation, an astonishing case was uncovered!

It turned out this restaurant’s gimmick was the maids, operating in two sections: the front was the trendy social media spot, attracting young girls to check in, thereby scouting attractive girls

The dark section was engaged in illegal transactions, with guests on a membership system- they couldn’t be found without an introducer.

Not only were the transaction amounts massive, but there had also been deaths, which were then covered up.

Over a hundred people were involved in the case and were all arrested for questioning.

Tatiana also cooperated with the investigation, recounting everything she saw without reservation. Unfortunately, she was only there for a short time and didn’t know much more.

After the routine questioning, the police politely said, “Thank you for your cooperation. Otherwise, more innocent girls would have been victimized. We are grateful.”

She felt helpless. “You’re welcome.”

“Your husband is still waiting for you outside. Thanks to his concern for you, we were able to discover this in time.”

She opened her mouth, then closed it, giving up on trying to explain.

“May I leave now?”

“Of course.”

She was still wearing Jasper’s jacket, wrapped up tightly. As she walked out of the police station, she saw the one tall adult and two small children waiting outside.
