That was Wang Zhuo’s utter disregard for the police. It wasn't just the frontline officers stuck on night duty; even their superiors’ superiors would greet Wang Zhuo with a fawning smile.
That was just how imposing Wang Zhuo was. Did he really need to interrupt what he was currently engaged in to deal with those small-time officers responding to a call?
So, this time, He Ye had completely miscalculated. Just as she was congratulating herself for cornering Wang Zhuo, she watched him take out his phone, make a quick call, and in just a few clipped sentences, diffuse the situation with the rapidly arriving police.
“Pretty lady, cleverness can be your undoing,” Wang Zhuo teased with a wicked smile, wrapping an arm around the campus beauty’s shoulders and leading her into the RV’s dining area.
“Wang Zhuo, I was wrong,” He Ye pleaded with a wry smile, once again vexed by her own petty cleverness.
“You only realize that now? Too late.” Wang Zhuo laughed, pushing down on her shoulders to make her crouch down while he sat himself in a chair, preparing to pull down his trousers.
“Not here, please?!” He Ye was like a startled rabbit. “If Xu Chu and the others come out, they’ll see!”
Wang Zhuo paused his action, his gaze suggestive. “And if they see? You’ve snuck looks at her before. It evens out.”
“Can we go to the bedroom? I’m begging you,” He Ye pleaded, her face etched with distress. “Please, Wang Zhuo, just give me a little face. Let’s go somewhere just you and me. I’ll agree to whatever you want, isn’t that enough?”
Ding-dong! Tamed, Affectionate. Level Up!
“Agree to whatever you want” struck Wang Zhuo’s weak spot. He fixed He Ye with a meaningful look, wasted no more words, stood up, and pulled her along.
Why had this girl submitted so quickly? As they went upstairs, Wang Zhuo used the precious few seconds to quickly analyze this complex question and reached a conclusion.
On one hand, she had reached a state of “unable to resist, so might as well enjoy,” which was the more passive aspect. On the other hand, the twenty percent share had become a powerful catalyst. All the scheming she had done was for this very moment of elevation, and now that joy had dropped from the heavens, she was naturally beside herself with happiness!
Since Hui Hai fell, the public security in Jiangzhou Municipality had visibly improved.
And since Wang Zhuo had dealt with the area using both firm and soft tactics, the jurisdiction where Yuan Ye was stationed had become even better.
Yuan Xinyu’s promotion also gave Yuan Ye a sense of hope. It was good to have a powerful backer. Now that he was aboard this express elevator to promotion, if he didn't work harder, how could he face the faint wisps of smoke rising from his ancestors’ graves?
So, Yuan Ye was currently putting a lot of effort into his work. Although his goal was merely to accumulate more achievements for climbing the ladder, he was, nevertheless, bringing some benefits to the common people.
It happened to be his shift tonight. Upon receiving the transferred call from the emergency line, he immediately set out with his team. Normally, upon hearing about a brawl like this, he and his colleagues would stall for time until both parties cooled down or fled before safely arriving. Thus, his reaction speed this time was remarkably fast.
Just as the conflict scene was coming into sight, he unexpectedly received a call from Wang Zhuo.
To be honest, seeing Wang Zhuo’s name on the caller ID made his feelings complex: half surprise, half elation. The surprise was that Wang Zhuo calling him meant something important was happening, something that was either trouble or a favor owed; otherwise, Wang Zhuo wouldn't bother contacting a nobody like him. The elation was that any contact with Wang Zhuo presented an opportunity to show his worth, something that would surely be useful in the future.
When Wang Zhuo briefly explained that he was one of the parties involved in the conflict, Yuan Ye was already inwardly ecstatic. Handling this situation well for Wang Zhuo was equivalent to earning a huge favor—a truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Wang Zhuo’s instructions were concise: a stalling tactic. He needed Yuan Ye to delay them outside the RV until Wang Zhuo gave the next order.
This was too easy! Yuan Ye immediately slapped his chest and guaranteed compliance. As long as Mr. Wang didn't give a contrary order, he would drag this out until dawn to complete the mission!
The responding officers were diligent; they gathered evidence and questioned the situation, but they made no move to knock on the RV door.
“We received a call from a party reporting that their personal safety was being threatened. Therefore, out of consideration for protecting the victims, we are temporarily preventing them from leaving the vehicle to cooperate with the investigation,” the leading officer explained with righteous solemnity.
This statement immediately enraged one belligerent woman: “Their personal safety is threatened? Officer, please get this straight. He is the one who injured people, not us!”
“We know what we’re doing. You don't need to teach the police how to handle a case,” Yuan Ye shot back with a cold glare, thinking to himself, Who do you think you are, daring to talk to me like that!
The furious woman was about to throw a tantrum but was quickly pulled aside by two companions. What a joke—if you manage to anger these police, even if you’re in the right, you’ll be in the wrong! You should be the one to get it straight!
Because the call was about stopping a brawl, Yuan Ye had brought a substantial number of officers. Many of the people out here enjoying an impromptu roadside tryst in an RV had connections. By this point, several calls had already reached the officers’ phones, all making connections and pleading on behalf of the RV’s occupants.
Many people lurked in the shadows, sneering, thinking, You dared to destroy my flash drive and smash my phone? Just you wait!
Even Yuan Ye himself received a call. An acquaintance of the caller had been kicked by Wang Zhuo earlier and wanted to settle the score; if possible, they hoped Wang Zhuo could be detained.
Of course, the Precinct Chief suppressed all these retaliatory forces single-handedly, and with extreme forcefulness. He offered no explanation, thinking, Are you kidding me? Tonight, I belong to Wang Zhuo. You small fry are lucky it’s me, the gatekeeper, standing here. If you manage to anger Wang Zhuo, you won’t even know how you died!
Inside the RV, Xu Meng suggested taking a shower.
Not long ago, in the living room where she and Xu Chu were, Wang Zhuo’s voice suddenly came over the intercom, telling them to relax, do nothing, and just wait for the police to handle the people outside.
Peering out the tinted windows, the two cousins watched for a long time. Seeing that the police showed no intention of approaching the RV to inquire, they finally confirmed Wang Zhuo was telling the truth—he had already dealt with the police and they didn't need to worry about the crowd outside.
“This is my first time in an RV too…” Xu Meng chuckled wryly, seemingly having calmed down.
“Me too…” Xu Chu stuck out her tongue, feeling a little shy remembering her relationship with Wang Zhuo.
Pushing open the bathroom door, Xu Meng let out a surprised sound. “There’s actually a bathtub! Can I use it?”
Xu Chu seemed uncertain. Although she knew she was practically on her way to becoming one of this RV’s mistresses, her cousin had just gone through such an ordeal today. If Wang Zhuo found it inappropriate that she used the tub, wouldn’t that be awkward?
Xu Meng immediately noticed her hesitation and smiled. “Never mind, I’ll just take a quick shower…”
Xu Chu gave a wry smile, about to speak, when the intercom next to the bathroom door chimed: “Chu Chu, since there’s nothing pressing, take your cousin in for a bath. There’s plenty of hot water; let her soak in the tub and relax.”
It turned out Wang Zhuo had been using his X-ray vision to monitor their conversation, temporarily pausing the game he was playing, and used the intercom to quell their concerns.
The sisters exchanged a look. Xu Chu pressed the intercom’s reply button, said “Okay,” then released it, chuckling softly to her cousin. “He must be talking to all the rooms downstairs from upstairs, so we can hear this too…”
“That button is for replying to the upstairs?” Xu Meng pointed at the intercom on the wall.
“The whole vehicle…” Xu Chu shook her head with a wry smile. “I only know how to use this one. Before you arrived, there were only three of us in the vehicle…”
Xu Meng hummed thoughtfully, examining the tub’s water system while curiously asking, “What’s your relationship?”
The answer to that question seemed complicated. Xu Chu pondered for a moment before shrugging helplessly. “It’s a long story.”
“A complicated relationship?” Xu Meng mused thoughtfully, testing the water temperature in the tub, shedding her casual clothes to reveal her fair, alluring physique, and stepping into the bathtub.
Precinct Chief Yuan was still unhurriedly questioning eyewitnesses and examining evidence. He knew Wang Zhuo could observe his performance at any moment, so he was working extremely hard.
Of course, he wasn't working hard at handling the case, but working hard at delaying time for Wang Zhuo!
As for what Wang Zhuo was doing right now, Precinct Chief Yuan was quite curious. Rumor had it Wang Zhuo arrived dressed simply and was seen leaving carrying a beautiful, sexy companion. And since this was a notorious spot for intimate car encounters, the answer seemed obvious!
Precinct Chief Yuan thought to himself, Take your time, my friend, enjoy yourself however you please. I’ll keep buying you time here, as long as you remember me kindly after you’re satisfied!
And what was Wang Zhuo doing at that moment?
Yuan Ye had guessed correctly; Wang Zhuo was indeed enjoying himself.
On the second floor of the RV, in the largest bedroom, a light strip simulating the aurora borealis was illuminated. The room seemed to be filled with the slow, shifting flow of the Northern Lights, dreamlike and illusory.
Wang Zhuo had personally arranged for this specific light fixture to be installed not long ago, indicating his taste for life.
He sat in the middle of the semicircular waterbed, leaning back against the headboard, with soft cushions propping up his lower back and head—as relaxed and comfortable as could be.
And our campus beauty, He Ye, was currently nestled between his legs, humbly receiving his instruction.
Gazing at the beautiful girl’s soft, flowing features, a surge of passionate energy filled Wang Zhuo’s chest.
Not long ago, such a stunning beauty was something he dared not even dream of. She wouldn't even spare him a glance, treating him as if he were air, someone with no intersection in his impoverished, struggling life.
Even stealing an extra look at her would invite ridicule—a toad craving swan meat, overreaching himself. Even women half as beautiful as her and with a fraction of her grace would lift their chins in disdain, snort, and squeeze out two sharp words, "Hmph..." from between their teeth.
But now? Wang Zhuo smiled faintly, pleasantly stroking that perfect face capable of inspiring envy in almost any woman.
Only women this perfect are worthy of my conquest, my favor. What are the rest of you, anyway?
