The investigation revealed that Chen Ci Fu prohibited serving Vietnamese customers and instructed the women to take circuitous routes before arriving at prearranged locations with clients. The price for each encounter ranged from 5 to 8 million VND.
During the raid, police discovered 756 canisters of nitrous oxide, along with dispensing equipment and balloons. Records indicate that Chen Ci Fu and a Vietnamese female manager profited hundreds of millions of VND from the nitrous oxide sales to patrons at the restaurant.
