After receiving the system prompt, Wang Haoran carried the unconscious Xiao Yifeng and vanished into the dark night.

He had four reasons for not revealing himself.

First, Qin Yunhan’s affection level had already reached 90, and they had even shared a bed. There was no need to continue playing the hero to win her favor.

Second, he had deceived Qin Yunhan by saying he was tricked by Xiao Yifeng, thus winning her trust. Revealing his true strength would only make her suspicious. A complete act was necessary.

Third, he didn’t want to expose his true strength, which might lead Qin Kai to suspect him in Xiao Yifeng’s disappearance.

Fourth, and most importantly, even after dealing with Xiao Yifeng, there would still be other protagonists, possibly even stronger ones. Keeping his trump card hidden was crucial.

He learned this from urban novels where protagonists, despite being strong, often hide their abilities to play the fool and catch others off guard, achieving multiple goals at once.

…

“Yunhan, are you okay?” Qin Kai asked with concern.

“I’m fine,” Qin Yunhan replied, still shaken.

Qin Kai checked Uncle Li and found he was only knocked out, with no serious injuries. It was a close call.

However, Qin Kai was puzzled about who had secretly helped them. Xiao Yifeng? That seemed unlikely. If it were him, he could have shown himself instead of hiding. Besides Xiao Yifeng, Qin Kai didn’t know any martial arts experts. Could it be someone sent by his wife, Feng Yun, to help?

Qin Kai could only assume so. Otherwise, why would someone intervene?

Qin Kai glared angrily at the incapacitated Feng Rong, wishing to tear her apart and throw her into the river to feed the fish. However, being a law-abiding businessman, he suppressed this thought and decided to call the police to let the law judge Feng Rong.

Meanwhile, Ling Duanya, who was on night duty, received the news and immediately rushed to the scene with her colleagues in a police car. The roads were not busy at night, and Ling Duanya, who had a driver’s license for five years and excellent driving skills, was behind the wheel. She overtook several cars along the way.

“Ling, you’re amazing! You drive so steadily and quickly, you could compete in a racing championship!” her colleagues praised in unison.

“When I have time, I’ll definitely sign up and bring back a championship,” Ling Duanya replied with a proud smile.

However, just as she finished speaking, a gray Mercedes GTR zoomed past her car. The GTR was incredibly fast, estimated to be going over 250 km/h, and quickly left Ling Duanya far behind.

The atmosphere became awkward, and Ling Duanya’s colleagues wore strange expressions. Unwilling to accept this, Ling Duanya instinctively stepped on the gas to catch up. But the GTR was too fast, and soon she couldn’t even see its taillights.

“Who is that jerk!” Ling Duanya exclaimed in frustration, slapping the steering wheel. After driving for a while, she spotted the GTR parked by the roadside. The driver’s side door was open, and a half-drunk woman sat in the passenger seat. A man was standing by the roadside, having just finished relieving himself.

This was Yan Guishan, and the woman in the passenger seat was his target from the bar earlier. Ling Duanya parked the car and got out with her colleagues. Yan Guishan was about to return to the driver’s seat when Ling Duanya stopped him.

“We suspect you of dangerous driving. Please show your driver’s license and vehicle registration,” Ling Duanya said, catching a whiff of alcohol from him and adding, “And we suspect you of drunk driving. Please show your documents.”

Yan Guishan looked Ling Duanya up and down. He had seen many women, but a woman as valiant and beautiful as Ling Duanya was a first.

“Judging by your uniform, you’re not traffic police, are you?” Yan Guishan questioned with a nonchalant smile.

“We’re from the same department. It’s just a temporary change of duties. Now, show your driver’s license and vehicle registration,” Ling Duanya demanded coldly. The GTR had been going over 250 km/h, and with the driver having consumed alcohol, a crash would likely be fatal or cause serious injury. Ling Duanya didn’t want to let this threat to society go.

“Alright, I’ll get them for you,” Yan Guishan said, slowly getting into the GTR, pretending to retrieve the documents. Suddenly, he floored the gas pedal and sped away. As he left, he stuck his head out and called back to Ling Duanya, “See you again, beauty.”

Yan Guishan had no driver’s license or even an ID card, and the GTR belonged to the woman beside him. He had nothing to show, so of course, he ran. Besides, he was eager to get on with his business with the woman, so he couldn’t stay.

Seeing the GTR quickly disappear from view, Ling Duanya stomped her foot in frustration. However, she had official duties to attend to and couldn’t chase after Yan Guishan. Even if she did, she couldn’t catch up to the GTR. She could only report the incident to the traffic department for them to handle.

After leaving Ling Duanya’s sight, the GTR soon arrived at the Grand Hotel. The woman, though half-drunk, was still somewhat conscious. She took out a black card and booked a presidential suite. Soon, Yan Guishan and the woman were in the hotel room.

“Lady, this will be a night you’ll never forget,” Yan Guishan said with a sly, arrogant smile.

“Aren’t you going to ask my name?” the woman teased, her eyes dreamy.

“Why should I ask your name? I’m not going to take responsibility,” Yan Guishan replied bluntly.

The woman laughed coldly and nodded. Indeed, he wouldn’t take responsibility, and she wouldn’t let him. She was with Yan Guishan to get back at her husband, who was always fooling around outside and barely came home all year. She wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine.

“Why should men have all the fun while women stay home obediently?” she thought.

“My husband is Shen Kang, he runs a chain of hotels, and this Grand Hotel is one of his properties,” the woman said, giving Yan Guishan a heads-up.

“Lady, you’re quite bold,” Yan Guishan said, surprised.

“Are you scared?” the woman taunted.

“Scared? Ha, in your eyes, those with power and money might be intimidating, but to me, they’re like ants,” Yan Guishan said with a disdainful gaze.
