The sun rises, creating a majestic yet subtle golden crease on the surface of the river. The river steamer from afar gradually passes beneath the bridge as birds play in the sky. The city gradually reveals its outline, like a monstrous beast awaking from the sunlight.

August, Jiangcheng.

The scorching summer has arrived.

Lalisa Manoban is certain that she is residing in the hottest spot of the city.

At the back alley of Su Se Nightclub, she has been "steaming" inside an ordinary van for the entire day.

She brushes her sticky hair away from her face annoyingly, not letting them stick to her neck from the sweat. Bambam beside her expresses his disapproval. "If it's inconvenient, you shouldn't let your hair grow then. Leader, why do you have to be so one-track minded in something so miniscule?"

Lisa smiles faintly, and doesn't answer. But she thinks in her heart: You're one-track minded! In any case, I'm the beauty of our district police station and has even been on TV. My image is very important. Like you know shit about it!

The two keep their silence and continue to stay in their spots while sweating.

The mission to "bust illegal sex trade" this time is being coordinated by the city's police force, surrounding the area with officers. Even though Lisa and Bambam are criminal investigators, the Guanhu county station has no more than thirty people. Therefore, whenever there is a big mission, it's all hands on deck, regardless of your position. Today, they are responsible for "surrounding" this Nightclub that is suspected of illegal sex trade, drugs, and gambling.

The sky finally becomes dark.

The street lamps turn on, and a tint of coolness can finally be felt with an unknown scent of fragrance in the air

Two people cross the alley. They are two pretty faces wearing hot pants with suspenders accompanying their long legs and small waists; absolutely eye catching. Bambam can't help but sigh, "Why do you women like wearing so little fabric in the summer? Do you not know that this is the high season for sexual assaults and robberies? It's all due to these bright and beautiful legs!"

He doesn't hear Lisa respond, so he turns around to look. She is looking out of the side window; she brushes her bangs and tilts her chin Bambam doesn't need to think to know what she's comparing, so he says, "Can we not be so full of ourselves?"

Lisa answers, "No."

At this time, the walkie talkie that has been silent for a long while finally transmits a middle-aged man's voice full of excitement:

"Attention everybody! This is District Chief. The mission will start in five minutes! Please get ready, and let's show our fellow city police how formidable we are at Guanhu County! Anyone who falls behind or makes a mistake will have their bonuses be deducted on next month. Over!"

Although Lisa and Bambam are used to fooling around with the district chief, when it comes to critical times, they will immediately put away their smiles, sync up the times on their watches, put their handcuffs and police batons in place, and count down.

The mission starts.

Under the district chief's order, over ten police officers head to the place. The Nightclub is completely surrounded on all sides. Lisa and Bambam are the quickest; when other officers enter the lobby, the two of them have already pushed away the security guards; they jump over the bar and press the manager onto the tabletop to prevent him from notifying others.

The scene is immediately under police control

Music continues playing in the hall. The girls stand together in shock while the customers look at each other in dismay.
