?38: Chapter 38 Don’t Be Afraid_1 38: Chapter 38 Don’t Be Afraid_1 Ye Long snatched Wang Shuangjiang’s ID without even glancing at it, then threw it away disdainfully and sneered, “So what if you’re a police officer?”

    “You…”

    “Cut the crap.

    Don’t think just because you’re a cop I wouldn’t dare to do anything to you, you can’t escape!” Ye Long said, then grabbed Wang Shuangjiang, lifted him up, and pinned him down on the table before forcing a bottle of baijiu down his throat in the same manner!

    Wang Shuangjiang passed out with his eyes rolling back after swallowing a whole bottle of baijiu, clearly suffering from alcohol poisoning!

    Ye Long clapped his hands and resumed his mischievously grinning demeanor as he approached Mei and said, “Mei, I’ve taken care of these two guys for you; you must be feeling better now, right?”

    Mei looked at Ye Long, feeling somewhat moved inside, and her impression of him deepened significantly.

    She then gave him a smile.

    Seeing Du Jianguo and Wang Shuangjiang unconscious on the floor, Mei felt incredibly gratified.

    Having already offended them, what did it matter if she went all out?

    It was of no consequence!

    “Let’s go, we haven’t even eaten lunch yet.

    I avenged you; you have to treat me to a meal!” Ye Long said to Mei, reverting to his flirtatious manner.

    Mei nodded and smiled, “Alright, let’s go.

    I’ll treat you to a feast!”

    Immediately after, Ye Long and Mei started walking out.

    “Ah Mei, wait a second!” At this point, Ghost Qi hurried forward to stop Mei.

    Mei glanced at Ghost Qi and felt deeply disappointed.

    Her boss was meant to protect her, yet he turned out to be less reliable than a waiter she had just met!

    What did it matter if Ghost Qi had greater strength?

    If he couldn’t protect her, it was useless.

    How did it matter if Ye Long was less powerful?

    At least he dared to stand up for her!

    “What is it?” Mei asked, her tone noticeably colder.

    “How about I treat you both to a meal?

    I had no choice regarding the incident just now!” Ghost Qi suggested.

    “No need!” Mei said, then without giving Ghost Qi another thought, she turned and strode out of the private room.

    Ye Long left the building with Mei and they got straight into the car!

    In the car, Mei looked at Ye Long and said, “Thank you for today.

    I guess you’re the only one willing to shield me without resentment!”

    Looking at Mei, Ye Long grinned playfully, “Hey, what’s in it for me?”

    “You little rascal, haven’t I agreed to treat you to a meal!” Mei chuckled while looking at Ye Long.

    “Is a meal all the thanks I get?

    Seems a bit insincere, huh?” Ye Long pouted and spread his hands.

    “What reward would you like, then?” Mei asked.

    Ye Long squinted and smiled coyly, raising an eyebrow, “How about a kiss from Mei?”

    “You…

    you lecherous rascal!

    Is that all you think about? Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    And you even dare to have designs on Mei?” Mei chastised him with a smack.

    “Heh, can’t help it, Mei is too stunning, too alluring; I just had to take a shot!” Ye Long cheekily replied.

    “You’re incorrigible.

    Start the car; we’re going to eat!” Mei rolled her eyes at Ye Long.

    Promptly, Ye Long drove straight to a fine Western restaurant—a place he had visited once before with Leng Feifei and had enjoyed, so he decided to come back.

    Relaxing music still played in the Western restaurant.

    Ye Long and Mei found a table by the window and sat down.

    Just like last time, Ye Long ordered a steak and a glass of juice.

    Of course, there wasn’t much to eat here, but it was mainly about couples sitting here, eating something, and chatting in a romantic atmosphere!

    If it were up to Ye Long, he would have gone to a food stall to enjoy skewered lamb and beer!

    Once the steak arrived, Ye Long and Mei started eating and chatting.

    “Mei, you see, I’ve been performing pretty well.

    Is there any chance I can get promoted to be your personal bodyguard?” Ye Long asked Mei.

    Mei nodded and replied, “Hmm, your performance isn’t too bad, so I’ll agree to promote you to be my personal bodyguard.”

    “Cough, Mei, since I’m going to be your personal bodyguard, I won’t ask for a raise or anything.

    My only request is, can I stay at your place at night?” Ye Long asked flirtatiously.

    Deep down, he dreamed of living with the beautiful Mei.

    “Dream on.

    I see you as nothing but a flirty Little Bad Egg, and it would be way too dangerous to let you into my house!” Mei waved her hand and said.

    “But if I lived with you, I could protect you at all times, and no one would dare to bully you!” Ye Long said.

    “Forget about nights, but during the day you can escort me to and from work and accompany me when I need to go out,” Mei replied, waving her hand.

    Ye Long nodded somewhat disheartened, realizing that his dream wouldn’t come true.

    “Ye Long, now that Du Jianguo and Wang Shuangjiang have been thoroughly offended by us, aren’t you afraid they will retaliate against you?” Mei looked at Ye Long with concern, as the matter wasn’t completely resolved yet.

    Ye Long, nonchalant, waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry, Mei.

    If they’re not afraid of a beating, let them come for revenge.

    I’m not bragging, but in Ninghai City, there’s no one born yet who can beat me!”

    “But have you thought about it?

    Even if they don’t confront us openly, what about secretly?

    Wang Shuangjiang is the police station chief, overseeing the whole New City District.

    Without his say-so, my KTV won’t be easy to operate!” Mei said somewhat distressed.

    “That police station chief Wang Shuangjiang?

    Don’t worry, he won’t be jumping around for long.

    I’ll take care of him!” Ye Long proclaimed.

    “Just don’t do anything illegal like murder!” Mei warned him worriedly.

    Even though the situation was troubling her, she didn’t want Ye Long to get blood on his hands.

    “Mei, you underestimate me.

    Do you think I only know how to resolve issues with violence?

    Don’t worry, there are plenty of other ways to deal with him.

    I can handle it!” Ye Long said confidently, dismissing her concerns.

    “Alright then!” Mei said, relieved by Ye Long’s response.

    After finishing their steaks, Ye Long and Mei sat in the Western restaurant and chatted for a while.

    Ye Long asked Mei about her past, mainly to understand her identity and why his mentor assigned him to protect her.

    Mei was nothing special, just an ordinary KTV bar owner.

    If there was anything distinctive, it was that Mei had a voluptuous figure and irresistible charm—a true beauty with maturity and poise!

    Ye Long initially thought Mei might be an undercover agent sent by the organization, but after some probing, he realized that she was just a regular proprietor!

    This left Ye Long puzzled about Mei’s real identity and what her relationship with his mentor could be.

    Damn that mentor of his, who wouldn’t spill a word and was downright infuriating!

    As they were talking, Ye Long’s phone started ringing.

    Ye Long took out his phone and saw it was a call from the police officer lady.

    Now, this was interesting; the tough police officer lady was actually calling him.

    It was like a bride getting into her sedan chair for the first time.

    Could it be she was missing him?

    Immediately, Ye Long, feeling somewhat excited, answered the phone, “Hey, beautiful police officer wife, are you calling because you’re missing your bro?”

    “You bastard, I’m a cop, you really dare to speak to a cop like that?

    Believe it or not, I’ll arrest you and tear your mouth apart?” Leng Feifei scolded angrily from the other end of the line.
