Jiang Che spent the entire day taking Qiangwei out, feeling incredibly pleased with himself.
The first time he went on a date with Qiangwei, he had already won her affection.
Qiangwei was no longer the cold and silent girl she used to be in front of him. She had completely opened her heart to him.
Looking at the girl sleeping on his lap, Jiang Che gently touched her face. This was Qiangwei's true personality.
According to the cliché original plot, the author would surely have crafted her as a cold and glamorous female assassin, utterly loyal to the Wolf King Su Han, all for the sake of some bizarre fetish.
But to satisfy such a strange fetish, should a young girl's natural innocence and liveliness be sacrificed?
Jiang Che couldn't do that!
What's the point of a girl keeping a straight face all day?
So, over the past few days, he had showered Qiangwei with endless affection, essentially blasting open her heart like a cannon.
She was starting to fall for him!
...
After sending Qiangwei back to the hotel, Jiang Che suddenly remembered he had a system reward he hadn't claimed yet.
[Grandmaster-Level Puppet]
Extract!
When Jiang Che saw the puppet, he was momentarily stunned.
He couldn't connect the petite silver-haired loli in front of him, who wasn't even as tall as Yu Wan'er, with the concept of a grandmaster-level expert.
Her silver hair, faintly purple pupils, and a pair of adorable twin tails complemented her milky-smooth skin, delicate nose, and lips as tender as jelly. Her face was flawless.
Her beautiful purple eyes were calm and serene, and she tilted her head slightly as she looked at Jiang Che.
[Dong'er]
[Humanoid Mobile Puppet, Grandmaster-Level Cultivation, Growth Potential]
Jiang Che: "..."
"Ahem... so this is the grandmaster-level puppet? Let me check if there's any damage. Don't you dare scam me, you lousy system!"
Jiang Che picked Dong'er up. Honestly... her texture felt exactly like a real person.
"Master, do you have any requests?"
"Pfft—"
That soft, childish voice calling him "Master" struck a chord deep in Jiang Che's heart.
...
The system didn't cheat him. Dong'er was indeed authentic, with exquisite craftsmanship and even a bit of her own personality. She was adorable, though not much of a talker.
"Alright, Dong'er, from now on, you'll stay by my side and protect me."
Jiang Che changed Dong'er into a new outfit and even tied a beautiful bow on her hairpin.
She looked stunning. If only her gaze had a bit more sass, but this little Dong'er was really obedient.
He had originally planned to assign the puppet to Gu Lingfei as a bodyguard, but now it seemed... he needed protection more than Sister Feifei did!
"Yes, Master."
So obedient. Jiang Che couldn't resist patting her head again.
The only downside was that he couldn't hear Dong'er's thoughts using Heart-Reading, which left him a bit frustrated. After all, a puppet was still just a puppet.
......
"Jiang Che, you pervert!"
When Yu Wan'er saw Dong'er by Jiang Che's side, she was utterly devastated.
Where did this pervert pick up another little girl? And with silver hair and purple eyes, she looked like a beauty straight out of an anime.
"This is a bodyguard I hired."
Yu Wan'er didn't say a word, just gave Jiang Che a sidelong glance. "You expect me to believe that?"
"Little brat, you dare question me?"
With Yu Wan'er, Jiang Che resorted to domestic discipline!
...
"Su Han, you're free to go."
Su Han was released on bail.
Even after being released, Su Han was still in a daze. The last time he had used his connections to get bailed out, the person who helped him had fallen from power.
In such a short time, who could have possibly helped him?
Just then, he overheard a conversation between two police officers.
"Why did Young Master Jiang bail him out?"
"Who knows? Maybe they have some connection."
Su Han was stunned. "Young Master Jiang bailed me out?"
Someone with the surname Jiang...
In an instant, he thought of Jiang Che!
Was it Jiang Che who got him out?
At that moment, Su Han felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude, almost to the point of tears.
Truly, there was still kindness in this world!
"Brother Jiang..."
He had never truly taken Jiang Che seriously before, only seeing him as a tool to be used.
But now... he genuinely respected Jiang Che!
This "Brother Jiang" was spoken with sincere admiration!
"Brother Jiang, I, Su Han, will remember this favor. Once I win over Feifei, I'll treat you to a starch sausage!"
With that, he headed back to LingChe Group, since he still needed to continue his job as a security guard.
But when he arrived at the security room, he was immediately turned away!
Not only that, but a swarm of paparazzi and reporters descended on him!
After all, Su Han had been a hot topic recently, trending on social media for two whole days. Despite the online harassment, he had remained silent, showing remarkable composure.
"Excuse me, are you Ms. Su Han?"
"Why aren't you wearing your pink battle suit anymore? Many online are calling you effeminate... What are your thoughts on that?"
Su Han: "..."
This is insane!
"Get lost! Who the hell are you calling a lady? I'm a real man!"
A group of ordinary paparazzi stood no chance against Su Han, who was at the peak of the Hidden Strength realm. He quickly made his escape.
Su Han didn't care much about the online harassment. He didn't spend much time online anyway.
If I don't go online, you can't harass me!
What mattered more to him was Gu Lingfei!
Being a security guard was the closest he could get to Gu Lingfei, and he didn't want to lose that opportunity.
Just then, his phone rang.
"Is it Monkey calling?"
Su Han frowned. Perfect timing... he could ask Monkey for advice on how to win over Gu Lingfei.
When he answered, Monkey's voice was frantic.
"B-b-big trouble!"
"Calm down! What's got you so worked up?" Su Han remained composed, unshaken even in the face of disaster.
"Wolf King, it's Gu Lingfei and Miss Qiangwei! They've both been kidnapped by bandits!"
Su Han: "!!!"
