Chapter 2129

next morning.

Gu Chen gathered his team members early in the morning, preparing to go to this outdoor fitness club to find out the details.

Since the general club opening time is 8:30 in the morning, there are actually very few people who come to exercise in the morning.

But this outdoor fitness club is different because it serves high-end clients and often organizes wild adventures.

Therefore, there is no specific regulation on the opening time of outdoor fitness clubs.

But Gu Chen came to the door early at 7:30 in the morning to observe the surrounding situation.

"Explorer's Club?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but say after reading the name of the club:

"Are they really outdoor explorers? You can tell from the huge posters outside the club that this club is really strong."

"Yeah, I feel very dignified." Yuan Shasha was also deeply touched.

After all, those who can open an outdoor fitness club in the park have no strength, so they really dare not do so.

Moreover, this park is a forest park, which is relatively quiet in itself.

Ordinary fitness clubs usually choose to operate in commercial districts because there are enough traffic there.

But if you want to open the club to a hidden place in the park, unless you have enough high-quality customers, you will die.

But obviously, this explorer's outdoor fitness club not only did not die, but is still alive and well.

I heard from Chen Xuebin before that this outdoor fitness club serves some high-end customers.

Between customers, a hidden relationship network is actually formed.

Moreover, this club has no shortage of customers, and will also screen customers, that is, automatically filter out those who are purely in the circle, have no outdoor fitness concept, and have super self-discipline.

And those who stay are the best among the business elite.

Otherwise, how can the owner of this fitness club have ideas? There is no shortage of money at all.

It's like a gym version of a business school, with high membership fees and lots of barriers to entry.

It can be said that it is definitely an honor for people in these business circles to enter this explorer outdoor club and become a member here.

Therefore, many shopping mall elites cherish this kind of circle that can not only exercise but also promote friendship.

Therefore, the source of customers here is stable and of high quality.

That's why the boss has the confidence to find such a place as the club's foothold.

"Oh, sometimes I really don't know that the happiness of rich people is so simple and unpretentious. I heard that the guys who like climbing are all rich people."

"Because of those professional climbing equipment, just a trekking pole is very expensive, and ordinary people really can't afford it."

"If it were me, I would rather pick up a stick as a trekking pole." Officer Wang said with emotion.

"Hehe." Hearing Officer Wang's remarks, Lu Weiwei laughed dryly, and said involuntarily: "Old Wang, what you think about is how to save money, but what people think about is how to make connections."

"This kind of rich people's activities itself automatically filters out some members with insufficient financial resources."

"If you think about it, everyone is rich, and when rich people mix together, it feels like their status is respected enough."

"After all, those who can enter this club are either rich or expensive. If you leave people like you in there, they use top brand trekking poles, and you take a piece of wood."

"Do you think people in this group would be willing to play with you?"

"Uh, that's not going to happen." Officer Wang also had self-knowledge, and immediately denied it.

Lu Weiwei also spread her hands and said: "Isn't this enough? The 20,000 yuan membership fee is just the threshold, and the equipment sold in the club is the bulk of the profit."

"When those senior members wear tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of equipment to climb the mountain, how can we understand the sense of pride?"

"Perhaps their happiness is more about the pride that rich people get together?" Yuan Shasha continued.

Lu Weiwei nodded silently: "Maybe."

Everyone's voice fell, and their eyes returned to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen also nodded in agreement at this moment: "That's right, circle culture, sometimes it is like this, although society does not divide classes, but there are classes."

"Many class cultures have closed loops and thresholds."

"Sometimes, many people want to squeeze into that circle, because entering this circle can prove that they are good enough."

"And when you really enter this circle, you will find that your self-esteem is greatly satisfied, and that's how vanity comes from."

After a pause, Gu Chen calmed down, and said again: "But to be honest, these business elites can achieve such self-discipline, which shows that these people are not ordinary people."

"Chen Li is mixed in this circle. With her ingenuity, she should be able to learn a lot of business knowledge."

"But if she uses these things in crooked ways, it will be a kind of sadness."

Lu Weiwei sighed, and said, "Ham, what's the use of talking about it now? Chen Li is depraved now, and hangs out with Zou Xiong all day. It can only be said that it's a pity."

"If Zou Xiong's wife knows about this, given Zou Xiong's wife's family background, she will definitely not let Chen Li go."

"But when it really comes to that time, Chen Li may be crying. She is so chic now, but she will be so embarrassed by then."

"What are you talking about now?" Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Police Officer Wang couldn't help but say:

"It's unclear whether Chen Li is dead or alive. The search has entered the third day."

"Also, the snow on the top of Fairy Fairy Peak has been falling for two days, and the snow on the mountain is also very thick."

"It's still a question of whether Chen Li can live. What are you talking about now? Let's think of a way quickly and find the people in this outdoor club to understand clearly before we talk about it."

"Senior Brother Wang, it seems that someone is coming over there." As soon as Officer Wang finished speaking, Yuan Shasha pointed to a parking space not far away.

I saw a big white G just parked, and a burly middle-aged man walked over with a leather bag in his hand.

Seeing a police car parked in front of the store, the man was stunned for a moment, but without thinking about it, he walked directly towards the door of the Explorers Club.

Seeing that the man took out the key and was about to open the door, Gu Chen was sure that the man was a member of this outdoor club.

So at Gu Chen's order, everyone got out of the car and walked towards the gate.

At this time, the middle-aged man also just opened the door lock, and saw four uniformed policemen walking behind him, obviously running towards him.

The man didn't go in either, and stood directly at the door, quietly waiting for Gu Chen and the others to come over.

"Hi, may I ask if you belong to this club?" Gu Chen came up and asked.

"Yes, I am the owner of this club." The middle-aged man said wonderingly.

"I'm Gu Chen from Furong Sub-bureau. We came here this time to find out about Chen Li's situation." Gu Chen didn't go around with him, and said straight to the point.

The middle-aged man was stunned: "Chen Li? What's wrong with Chen Li?"

"Is Chen Li a member here?" Officer Wang asked.

"That's right, she worked part-time here when she was a junior, and after graduation, she became a member of our club." The middle-aged man hurriedly explained.

Lu Weiwei continued: "That is to say, you and Chen Li should be quite familiar, right?"

"That's right." The middle-aged man nodded silently, still a little confused.

It felt like the four policemen must have something urgent to come here, otherwise they wouldn't have come here early in the morning.

After thinking about it, the middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Everyone, don't stand here, come in and sit down, it's cold outside, I'll make you a cup of tea."

While the man was speaking, he invited Gu Chen and the others into the hall.

The decoration of the lobby is luxurious enough, and there is a super-large display screen inside. It can be seen that it is used for the leisure of club members.

There are not only pool tables, table tennis tables, but also mahjong tables.

It can be said that every space in the hall is not wasted.

And the middle-aged man, after making tea for the four of them, brought it to everyone in person, and then introduced himself:

"I'm Liu Xing, and I'm the owner of this club. Of course, I didn't run this club by myself. It's a partnership between me and two other friends. I'm the major shareholder."

"Usually, I usually like to come to the club, so I often stay here."

"I can tell." Officer Wang nodded silently, and echoed, "Who is the boss if you come to the club this early in the morning? Hello, I am the captain of the criminal investigation team of the Furong Branch. You can call me Old Wang. "

"Oh, so it's Police Officer Wang." Seeing that Police Officer Wang is the captain of the criminal investigation team, he feels that he has a high official position, so Liu Xing dare not neglect.

"Hi, I'm Lu Weiwei, Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch."

"I'm Yuan Shasha."

Immediately afterwards, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha also reported their families.

Everyone was polite to each other, and then Liu Xing asked everyone insincerely: "Oh, by the way, you just said that you came here to find Chen Li, what's wrong with Chen Li?"

"Chen Li disappeared in Fairy Peak." Gu Chen said.

"Missing in Fairy Peak?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Liu Xing was also stunned, but quickly stabilized his emotions, and asked Gu Chen:

】

"Is it a matter of these two days?"

"That's right, to be precise, Chen Li went to Fairy Peak the day before yesterday, and she didn't go down the mountain that night."

"Afterwards, the search and rescue team went to Fairy Peak and searched the mountain for people, but there was no trace of Chen Li."

"Oh, so that's the case?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Liu Xing nodded slightly, but said with a puzzled expression:

"However, I heard that there was a lot of snow on the other side of Fairy Peak, but it was very cold for Chen Li, why did she go there? Who did she go with?"

"His boss, Zou Xiong." Yuan Shasha said.

"Oh, her boss?" Seemingly knowing Zou Xiong, Liu Xing nodded slightly.

Gu Chen saw Liu Xing's meaning, so he hurriedly asked Liu Xing, "What? Do you know Chen Li's boss, Zou Xiong?"

"Well, I do know each other, but I don't have a deep impression." Liu Xing took Gu Chen's words and continued to explain:

"You may not know? Our Explorer Outdoor Fitness Club is not only as simple as collecting membership fees, we also need to assess the physical fitness of our members."

"Because we have regular outdoor adventures, someone who is less fit can be a drag on the whole team."

"That's why we generally eliminate members who fail the assessment, that is, members with poor physical fitness, from the club."

"Before, Zou Xiong seemed to have signed up for our club, but he was assessed several times, but his physical fitness did not meet the standard."

"So according to the regulations, he was eliminated, but he tried to raise money, hoping to stay in our club."

"Then did you give him a chance?" Lu Weiwei was very curious.

Liu Xing shook his head: "I'm sorry, our Explorer's Outdoor Club has its own principles, and we won't relax the standards based on how much the members pay."

"Unqualified is unqualified. When your physical standard can reach our passing line in the assessment, we will choose to collect membership fees and allow you to join the Explorers Club."

Shrugging his shoulders, Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said: "But it's a pity that Zou Xiong is a man with serious hip stretch in all aspects of physical strength, so we turned him away."

"But because I heard that he is Chen Li's boss, so that night, even though I refused Zou Xiong to join our club, I still invited Chen Li and Zou Xiong to have a meal outside. That's the friendship."

"So that's the case?" Hearing what Liu Xing said, Gu Chen nodded silently.

I feel that the reason why Zou Xiong came to this explorer's outdoor fitness club is most likely because of Chen Li.

So Gu Chen asked Liu Xing again: "Then this Chen Li, how much do you know about her?"

"Chen Li? That's nothing to say." When "Chen Li" was mentioned, Liu Xing seemed extremely excited, and he couldn't help but say:

"This Chen Li is a beautiful girl. When she was a junior, she had a particularly outstanding figure and a high EQ."

"At that time, she would use the winter and summer vacations to come here to work part-time as a fitness assistant, but she was very satisfied with the services of those members, and quickly became friends with these members."

"After graduating, she joined our club again, so she has a very harmonious relationship with the staff and most of the members of our club."

"When everyone mentions Chen Li, it's all about this..."

After the words fell, Liu Xing gave a thumbs up.

"What...does this refer to?" Lu Weiwei looked curious.

Liu Xing smiled faintly: "That's Chen Li's outdoor adventure skills, which were passed on by our club's fitness coaching staff. She can almost climb most mountains independently, and has good outdoor adventure skills."

"At her level, even if she is thrown into the wilderness, she can still survive by relying on her wild survival skills."

"So powerful? Isn't that the same as special forces?" Listening to Liu Xing's praise of Chen Li, Yuan Shasha couldn't help mentioning special forces.

And Liu Xing also grinned: "Yes, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a female special soldier, but the special soldier has weapons, but she does not."

"Besides, her ability to survive in the wild may be even better than ordinary special forces?"

Hearing Liu Xing praise Chen Li with great fanfare, Gu Chen felt more and more that the camouflage auspicious suit and the four-eye night vision device that Zou Xiong's family disappeared were most likely used on Chen Li.
