"Oh? Long time no see, Sister Yanran. How come you've fallen on hard times?"
Jiang Che looked at the woman before him with a teasing glint in his eyes.
Upon hearing Jiang Che's words, Wang Yanran's beautiful eyes narrowed in displeasure.
"Hmph! I got tired of being a criminal investigator. Can't I try my hand at being a traffic cop for a change?"
Wang Yanran remained as proud as ever, unwilling to reveal the truth even to Jiang Che.
Her pride wouldn't allow her to seek sympathy from him through such means.
Jiang Che merely gave her a thoughtful glance. Compared to being a criminal investigator, being a traffic cop was considered a cushy job. Many officers preferred it over the grueling work of a criminal investigator. However, stepping down from criminal investigations made it harder to climb the ranks in the future. Wang Yanran's demotion to traffic cop was likely due to Wang Laiyun's influence.
"Sister Yanran, if there's nothing else, I'll be on my way. I need to take Wan'er and the others to school," Jiang Che said, fully aware of Wang Yanran's proud nature. She would never accept any form of pity or assistance.
"Hmph, you jerk!"
A flicker of anger crossed Wang Yanran's delicate face. How could Jiang Che be so callous? Should she just call the police and have him arrested?
She wasn’t even sure where this sudden irritation came from, but it left her fuming.
As she watched Jiang Che's Maybach slowly drive away, Wang Yanran stomped her foot in frustration.
...
"Jiang Che, who was that woman...? What’s your relationship with her?"
Ye Mengyao hesitated before finally asking. She certainly remembered that woman, and the memory was etched deeply in her mind.
Back when she had been waiting outside Jiang Che's house, she had seen him being affectionate with that woman. It had made her feel incredibly insecure at the time.
Although she hadn’t seen her in a while, Ye Mengyao still considered her a rival in love!
Beside her, Yu Wan'er also perked up her ears. She hated that busty policewoman!
"Oh, just a childhood friend," Jiang Che replied casually.
"Hmph, fine, don’t tell me then," Yu Wan'er pouted, already seeing through Jiang Che's usual antics. She was 100% sure he had his eyes on that curvaceous policewoman.
Yu Wan'er glanced down at her own flat chest, feeling as if a dagger had been plunged into her heart.
For most girls, being able to see their toes when looking down was already a cruel joke. But for her, it was even worse—she could see not only her toes but also her belly button. It was enough to make her want to cry.
"What? Wan'er, are you jealous?" Jiang Che teased.
"Who’s jealous of you? Stay away from me, you greasy man!" Yu Wan'er glared at him fiercely.
The little girl's mood was as unpredictable as ever. She had been sweet and obedient in the morning, but now she was clearly upset.
"Greasy? How am I greasy? I’m full of youthful charm! I just turned eighteen last year~~~"
As they chatted, they soon arrived at the school gate.
The extended Maybach Hyperlimousine, worth tens of millions and limited to only 50 units worldwide, was typically used as a modified presidential vehicle or owned by ultra-wealthy Western tycoons.
Pulling up to the school gate, it immediately sparked a buzz among the students.
Shilan School was indeed a prestigious institution, but most of its students came from middle-class families. True heirs of immense wealth were a rare sight.
"Wow... whose car is that? That extended Maybach is way too flashy!"
"And it’s a limited edition too! The Hyperlimousine’s top-tier model costs at least 20 million. My entire family’s assets combined aren’t worth as much as that car."
"Looking at the license plate... it must be Young Master Jiang’s car. That ‘99999’ plate isn’t something just anyone can have."
When Ye Mengyao stepped out of the car, pulling Yu Wan'er along, the crowd fell silent.
Oh, it’s Miss Ye... well, that explains it!
After all, Ye Mengyao’s family was incredibly wealthy. She was the epitome of a beautiful and affluent young woman, the object of countless admirers. But now... rumors had it that she had been won over by Young Master Jiang!
It broke the hearts of countless boys and girls.
Yu Wan'er followed behind Ye Mengyao, feeling no sense of inferiority. This was the ultimate mindset of a little freeloader!
"I earned my place as a freeloader, so why should I feel inferior? You all wish you could be friends with Sister Mengyao!"
Jiang Che didn’t get out of the car. He couldn’t be bothered to go to school today.
"Dong'er, park the car by the side. I want to test the anti-vibration features of this Maybach."
The extended Maybach was bulletproof and weighed a hefty 5 tons, making it incredibly sturdy. Even a level 7 typhoon would struggle to budge this behemoth.
Its soundproofing was also top-notch. Even if you pressed your face against the window, you wouldn’t be able to see a thing inside. Communication from outside required opening the windows. Even if a fight broke out inside... there wouldn’t be a single trace of it visible from the outside.
"Okay~"
Dong'er obediently parked the car by the roadside.
......
"No—"
When Su Han woke up, he found himself tied to a wooden chair.
His hands were tightly bound with purple ropes.
In front of him stood two men!
Yes, two!
One was a shiny, bald-headed man known as Brother Qiang, wearing a twisted grin.
Beside him stood Lin Yu, who had undergone a drastic transformation.
His face had become eerily delicate, his hair now shoulder-length and tied into a wolf-tail at the back. His eyes gleamed with a disturbing mix of madness and gloom, a far cry from his former arrogance.
After suffering repeated setbacks, Lin Yu had completely broken down mentally, which was why he had returned to Brother Qiang to rekindle their twisted relationship.
"What do you want from me? I’m Su Han, the Wolf King of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group! If you dare lay a hand on me... my men will hunt you down!"
Su Han struggled desperately, but his hands were bound too tightly to break free.
"Hehehe... Wolf Fang? I heard you were once a master of the Transforming Jin level, right?"
Lin Yu stepped closer to Su Han, a cold smile playing on his lips, sending a chill down Su Han’s spine.
"What are you trying to do...? No! Stop!!!"
In his panic, Su Han tapped into the last reserves of his protagonist’s potential!
He broke free from the ropes and instinctively tried to attack Brother Qiang and Lin Yu.
But Su Han had been crippled, while Lin Yu was still a peak-level Dark Jin expert, albeit one who had been mentally broken and now obeyed Brother Qiang without question.
It was as if he had developed Stockholm Syndrome.
"Bang—"
Without his Dark Jin, Su Han stood no chance against Lin Yu.
He was instantly knocked senseless.
"Stay away from me!"
"No—"
Su Han’s screams were filled with agony!

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
