They arrested Nguyen Thanh Liem, 34, and Ha Thuy Van Anh, 23, on Friday for investigation for allegedly procuring sex.
They had been investigating a prostitution case busted in August in which a former flight attendant, Vo Thi My Hanh, 26, was allegedly brokering sex services for her colleagues, who charged clients US$1,000-3,000.
Officers discovered that the two rings were affiliated.
Anh, reportedly the mastermind, and Liem are accused of offering prostitution services for VND45-200 million ($1,850-8,240) and taking a cut of VND20-50 million.
Nguyen Thanh Hung, head of the city criminal police division, said officers recently raided a building on Nguyen Van Linh Street in District 7 and a hotel in Binh Chanh District, where they found four couples engaging in paid sex.
They included two beauty queens aged 36 and 27, who respectively offer sex for $10,000, and VND45 million.
Authorities said Anh and Lam often rent luxury apartments for sex work.
