“Boss, did I hear you wrong? Did you just say…”

Among the group with Wang Haoran, Liu Hua was the first to react to his words and asked immediately.

“I said call the police,” Wang Haoran reiterated.

“Boss, this is too…” Liu Hua wanted to say it was embarrassing, but held back his words.

Wang Haoran understood and clarified:

“Are you stupid? What is our identity? We are students, a vulnerable group.” He then shot a glance at Ye Qiu beside him and continued:

“And this guy here, he’s a young man from society. He dared to break Lu Ming’s hand directly; he must have some backing. Who knows if he’s involved in the underworld?”

He added quickly, “Hurry up and call the police!”

“Yes, yes.” Liu Hua hurriedly took out his phone to make the call.

[Ding, the host is not following the usual script, influencing the plot direction, gaining 600 villain points, Ye Qiu’s protagonist halo -30, host’s villain halo +30!]

Feeling satisfied with the rewards, Wang Haoran nodded and communicated with the system while probing the man in the tank top and slippers.

Soon, he accessed the man’s information.

Protagonist: Ye Qiu

Combat Power: 1322

Charm Value: 95

Protagonist Halo: 1323

Skills (Golden Finger): Master-level assassination skills, master-level disguise skills, master-level tracking skills, all-weapon proficiency, affinity halo (easier to gain people’s trust)

From Ye Qiu’s abilities, he seemed to be an assassin, a protagonist of that type, and quite strong.

Compared to the unstoppable war god Su Lang, ignoring the halo, Ye Qiu was stronger.

However, compared to himself, Ye Qiu was just a delivery boy.

After obtaining Ye Qiu’s details, Wang Haoran had a preliminary understanding.

On the other side, Ye Qiu was stunned seeing Wang Haoran instruct his group to call the police.

He was ready to teach them a lesson, but their response outsmarted him.

“Sister Zhenyu, I heard from Wen Jing that she saw you at school earlier. I thought she was mistaken, but it turns out it was really you,” Wang Haoran said with a smile, ignoring Ye Qiu, and approached Song Zhenyu.

Seeing a familiar face, Song Zhenyu couldn’t help but smile with delight and said, “I came to Qingling University for my postgraduate studies. I knew you guys were studying here, and I wanted to contact you, but I accidentally damaged my SIM card, and all the numbers stored in it were lost.”

“If the card is damaged, you can get a replacement. Why change the number?” Wang Haoran understood a bit but still asked.

“I wanted to replace it, but the previous card didn’t have complete identification information, so I couldn’t. I had to get a new one,” Song Zhenyu explained, showing a hint of an unusual expression.

Wang Haoran noticed the change and caught on that the truth wasn’t exactly as she said. Still, it probably had nothing to do with him since Song Zhenyu’s favorability towards him was currently at 40 (very friendly), so she wasn’t avoiding him.

The reason for the number change was likely something else, but Song Zhenyu clearly avoided explaining.

In this situation, Wang Haoran wouldn’t directly press her.

“By the way, Haoran,” Song Zhenyu pointed to Lu Ming, who was still holding his arm on the ground, “do you know him?”

“We’re roommates,” Wang Haoran revealed, then asked, “Did he do anything inappropriate to you, Sister Zhenyu?”

Song Zhenyu replied, “He wasn’t really rude. He just blocked me and asked for my phone number, but nothing physical.”

Wang Haoran nodded, dismissing any aggressive thoughts about Lu Ming to gain favor with Song Zhenyu, and just said to Lu Ming:

“This is my high school teacher. You understand what I mean, right?”

Lu Ming, startled, quickly said, “Boss, I… I didn’t know. If I had known, I wouldn’t dare try anything, even with a hundred guts!”

“What the hell are you saying!” Wang Haoran kicked Lu Ming, annoyed.

Lu Ming’s words matched Wang Haoran’s thoughts, but it wasn’t meant to be said out loud.

What an idiot.

Song Zhenyu blushed and glanced at Wang Haoran with embarrassment.

Wang Haoran quickly reassured, “Sister Zhenyu, he’s just joking. I have great respect for you.”

“Teacher, teacher, I was just joking,” Lu Ming mumbled, understanding he misspoke, and quickly promised:

“I won’t bother you again. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

Song Zhenyu’s expression returned to normal, and she quietly relaxed.

“Sister Zhenyu, are you familiar with him?” Wang Haoran asked, looking at Ye Qiu.

“I’m planning to rent a place to focus on my postgraduate studies. He’s my landlord, helping me move my things,” Song Zhenyu explained.

Wang Haoran was surprised, “So you just met?”

Song Zhenyu nodded, “Yes.”

Wang Haoran cautioned, “No good deed goes unpunished. You just met, and he’s eager to help you move. He must have ulterior motives.”

On the side, Ye Qiu quickly protested, “I just saw her as a weak woman and offered to help out of goodwill, nothing more. Plus, we have records at the station; how could I have ill intentions?”

Wang Haoran rolled his eyes, mocking internally.

These protagonists are truly shameless, wanting to woo the female lead while acting righteous.

Although Ye Qiu spoke convincingly, Song Zhenyu seemed unconcerned, not suspecting his motives.

Wang Haoran understood this was due to Ye Qiu’s affinity halo.

Resolving to intervene, he said to Song Zhenyu, “Sister Zhenyu, you never know someone’s true nature. If something happens, you’ll regret it.” Then he glanced over:

“Qin Yunhan, do you think what I said makes sense?”

“Absolutely makes sense!” Qin Yunhan agreed, casting Ye Qiu a disdainful glance and whispering to Song Zhenyu, “Teacher Song, look at this guy’s sleazy face. He can’t be a good person!”

Her affection for Wang Haoran had reached 99, with her attention solely on him. Ye Qiu’s charm had no effect on her at all.
