Join the ServerAfter seizing Director Mo’s hand, Ji Wenyan moved swiftly, positioning himself directly in front of Bai Mengze and obstructing the director’s view.
He released his grip almost immediately.
After all, the man was a greasy old pervert, and Ji Wenyan harbored no such peculiar inclinations.
“You’re Director Mo, aren’t you? Quite the arrogant one in U City. Do you truly believe no one can put you in your place?”
“And who might you be?”
“It doesn’t matter who I am. All you need to know is that my father is Ji Wenlin.”
“Ji Wenlin!”
Ji Wenyan had no intention of concealing his father’s name.
In a society where one’s connections were paramount, why should he bother hiding it?
Especially when he witnessed the panic bloom across Director Mo’s face, Ji Wenyan’s spirits soared even higher.
When confronting those who wield power to oppress, one had to push back with even greater force.
‘It was time to see who truly held the reins of power.’
“Ji Wenyan, I’ve already recorded this. Prepare to face Uncle Ji’s wrath!”
“Whatever. Today, I’m simply ensuring this old man understands that U City is not his playground.”
“Kneel and strip, you say? Very well. I won’t ask for much today. Just kneel before me, and this matter will be concluded. Otherwise…”
Suddenly, Shen Hua’s gloating voice cut through the air, causing Ji Wenyan to inwardly curse ‘MMP’. Yet, not a single flicker of emotion crossed his face.
Addressing Director Mo, Ji Wenyan wasted no further words, directly demanding the old man kneel.
‘He loves to bully people, doesn’t he?’
‘Today, he would learn a valuable lesson. He wouldn’t get away with thinking a bit of ‘filthy lucre’ could make him untouchable.’
‘As for wealth, could he possibly compare to his father?’
‘If not, then he should kneel obediently.’
“Young Master Ji, it’s all a grave misunderstanding, I assure you! I had no idea this young lady was under your protection.”
“A misunderstanding? You declare it a misunderstanding, and so it shall be? Is that how formidable you are? Perhaps I should make a call to my father, and have him ‘extend his special care’ to you?”
…
By now, beads of sweat were cascading down Director Mo’s face, making his already greasy features appear even more repulsive.
However, this sight did nothing to sway Ji Wenyan’s resolve.
Bai Mengze was his life; anyone who dared to lay a hand on her would not leave unscathed.
“This matter has nothing to do with you. I don’t know you, and I don’t require your assistance.”
Yet, just as Ji Wenyan anticipated Director Mo’s capitulation, Bai Mengze, who had been standing silently behind him, suddenly spoke.
When Ji Wenyan turned in surprise to face her, he found Bai Mengze’s expression utterly blank.
Her obsidian-black eyes, when fixed upon him, created an unsettling illusion in Ji Wenyan—as if he were being inexorably drawn into a fathomless abyss.
“Oh, Bai Mengze, you actually dare to refuse Young Master Ji’s help! Truly formidable! Just for that declaration, anyone who dares to touch you will be disrespecting me, Shen Hua.”
“Just shut up. Must you be everywhere?”
“Hmph, so you, Ji Wenyan, are permitted to play the hero, yet I, Shen Hua, am forbidden from offering my eager assistance!”
Just then, Shen Hua’s voice resounded once more.
Ji Wenyan averted his gaze as if in flight, then engaged in a rapid-fire exchange with Shen Hua, using the verbal sparring to quell the tumultuous thoughts rising within him.
‘She truly was an extraordinary woman, befitting her growth potential of 10!’
“My affairs are none of your concern.”
Despite the ongoing argument, Bai Mengze reiterated her stance.
However, no one truly took her words to heart.
Unless Bai Mengze was some hidden heiress, how else could she possibly resolve this predicament?
“Hello, is this 110? I wish to report an attempted sexual assault…”
The next second, to the astonishment of all present, she acted.
Bai Mengze.
She called the police.

However, the sudden blare of the system’s voice at this critical moment left Ji Wenyan with no time to consider anything else.
‘He was going to die.’
‘No, this couldn’t be happening! After struggling so hard to regain life, how could he simply perish again?’
With this realization, Ji Wenyan’s eyes reddened. He stared at Bai Mengze, still engrossed in her phone call, then lunged forward like a famished tiger.
One hand encircled Bai Mengze’s slender waist, while the other cupped the back of her head. As Ji Wenyan imperiously pressed his lips to hers, he felt a surprising coolness.
‘Like jelly.’
‘Sweet.’
