40: Chapter 39: Is She My Bestie?

40: Chapter 39: Is She My Bestie?

“Hey, Officer Tranquility, where are we rushing off to like this?” Ye Tian asked, slouched in the passenger seat, bored out of his mind.

“I have a bestie who’s a journalist.

She went undercover at a ‘gutter oil’ factory today.

They caught her.

She just sent a rescue SOS via text, and I’m off to save her.”

“Then why drag me into this?” Ye Tian grumbled, “I’m not lifting a finger if there’s nothing in it for me.”

“You!” Wang Ke’er gnashed her teeth in anger and retorted, “This is about maintaining social order.

With your abilities being so strong, why wouldn’t you help?”

“Hey, hey, hey, don’t say that.

I’m neither a saint nor a good person,” Ye Tian shrugged, “Besides, I’m not a cop.

Why should I go?

Just because I have the skills?

There are plenty of tough guys at Shaolin Temple, why not ask them?”

“You!”

Wang Ke’er was nearly faint with rage at Ye Tian’s twisted logic.

Glaring coldly at Ye Tian, Wang Ke’er said, “So what kind of benefit do you want?

As long as you help, I’ll try to accommodate your demands.

That should be good enough, right?”

Ye Tian nodded and smirked sleazily, “Just let me cop a feel of those bouncy steamed buns of yours.”

“You!”

Wang Ke’er almost jumped out of her skin with anger.

This bastard was bringing up her innate deficiency again!

Unable to contain her fury, Wang Ke’er raised her hand and turned, aiming a slap at Ye Tian.

Ye Tian chuckled mischievously, about to dodge, when he suddenly looked up ahead.

His expression changed drastically because, with Wang Ke’er’s loss of control, their car was veering straight towards another vehicle on the opposite side of the road!

Ignoring Wang Ke’er completely, Ye Tian abruptly laid his hand on her left leg, braking instantly.

Then, with a calm expression, he took the steering wheel and jerked it hard.

Hisss!

The tires screeched across the pavement, kicking up a white haze of smoke, as the police car narrowly avoided a collision with the oncoming vehicle, deftly swerving away.

Wang Ke’er was thrown against the door, crying out in pain.

When she looked up, her face was a picture of shock, as the car, due to the sharpness of the turn, was now heading directly for a wall!

Wang Ke’er was petrified; her mind raced with visions of the gruesome aftermath of the impending crash.

At that moment, Ye Tian’s calm voice cut through, “Hit the gas!”

Wang Ke’er’s panic-stricken heart calmed down a bit at the sound of Ye Tian’s voice.

Looking at his resolute eyes, his composed face, she didn’t feel panicked anymore.

Slamming on the accelerator, the car surged forward.

It felt like a death wish, hurtling towards the wall!

Wang Ke’er was scared, yet she wasn’t, because Ye Tian’s composure reassured her.

“Brake,” Ye Tian continued calmly.

Hisss!

She slammed on the brakes, and the car rattled with the stress, but Ye Tian was unfazed, whipping the steering wheel around hard to the left!

Hisss!

The sound of the tires scraping the ground was frightening.

As the car spun with breakneck speed and force, Wang Ke’er was thrown against Ye Tian in the passenger seat.

Then instinctively, Wang Ke’er clung to Ye Tian’s thighs, her eyes shut tight.

She was truly terrified.

After all, despite being a police officer, she was also a woman.

And anyone would reflexively grab onto anything in front of them to ensure their own safety in such circumstances.

Hisss!

The car skidded once more, and after a few moments, it started to stabilize.

Ye Tian looked down at Wang Ke’er, who was clinging to his legs, her face right in front of his crotch, and said with a teasing smile, “Beauty, even if you’re planning to get intimate with me, wait until I’ve had a shower first.”

Wang Ke’er snapped back to reality, stunned, then her mouth dropped open:

“Ah!!”

She screamed, recoiling and turning pale as a sheet.

Ye Tian smirked knowingly, shook the steering wheel deliberately, causing the car to sway once more, frightening Wang Ke’er into covering her face with both hands.

“Seriously, with those skills, you’re a cop?” Ye Tian teased.

“Drop dead!!” Wang Ke’er, her face flushed with embarrassment, shot back at Ye Tian.

She was more shocked by what had just happened than by the car’s skid.

Moreover, Ye Tian’s words made her feel utterly ashamed, wishing she could just find a hole and crawl into it.

Because what he said was the truth…

She had been holding on really tight…

“Feeling shy?

How about I pull over right now?

If you don’t mind it being dirty, you can.” Ye Tian chuckled wickedly.

“Go to hell!” Wang Ke’er slapped Ye Tian on the hand, but Ye Tian just chuckled and deviously let the car swerve to one side, causing Wang Ke’er to fall onto his lap again, and instinctively, she held on tighter.

“I mean, if you’re really that eager, just say it.

I can stop the car, you know.

This kind of thing can really put me off driving,” Ye Tian said with a mocking smile, making Wang Ke’er climb up in frustration, wishing she could just crush Ye Tian’s balls!

This man was a supreme, top-grade, rotten hooligan!

“Move over!

I’ll drive!” Wang Ke’er pushed away Ye Tian’s hand and took hold of the steering wheel herself.

“Just be careful, okay?

If you’re that desperate to have sex with me, let me know, I’ll go get cleaned up,” Ye Tian taunted with a smirk, nearly driving Wang Ke’er mad with rage.

Soon, the car arrived at a factory building, which was quite large.

Upon entering, a stench wafted out.

When they arrived at the door, Wang Ke’er and Ye Tian got out of the car together.

After a short while, two underlings appeared at the door, wielding clubs and acting arrogantly.

“Just the two of you?

Oh, and what a beauty we have here, hehe.” One of the men with dyed blond hair leered, his eyes lasciviously scanning Wang Ke’er as if he wanted to strip her with his gaze.

“Let me in,” Wang Ke’er said calmly.

The two men chuckled, opened the door, and let Wang Ke’er and Ye Tian enter, then led them straight into the factory building.

It wasn’t long before they reached a door, knocked, and then walked in.

The room was large, easily over two hundred square meters, cluttered with various items.

At the far end of the room sat a group of underlings, and among them was a girl tied to a chair.

Her clothes were somewhat disheveled, her full figure almost irresistible.

Seeing the girl, Ye Tian was taken aback—it was Zhu Rou!

Was this Wang Ke’er’s best friend?

The world was really too small.

Seeing Zhu Rou in such a state, Wang Ke’er’s expression turned cold as she said sternly, “Where’s your boss?

Come out!”

“Well well well, who do we have here?

Someone’s got quite the temper,” came a taunting voice.

From behind another door, a bald man in a suit emerged.

He was unpleasant to look at, or rather hideously ugly, but he exuded ferocity.

His large, brass bell-like eyes held a defiant streak, and his sneering smile sent chills down one’s spine.

Stepping forward in his shiny leather shoes, Du Qiushan approached slowly, and the moment Ye Tian saw him, his gaze darted to the man’s waist—there was a gun!

After arriving, Du Qiushan’s eyes lingered on Wang Ke’er with lustful intent, and he smirked, “Tsk tsk, the little lady is quite pretty, what a fantastic figure.”

He completely ignored Ye Tian behind her.

With his cheap, unimpressive outfit, Ye Tian looked like just another lackey in his eyes, someone to fill the numbers.

“Release Rou’er!

Or I’ll arrest you!” Wang Ke’er snapped, her gaze icy as she glanced at Du Qiushan.

“Arrest me?

Wow, I’m so scared,” Du Qiushan shook his head with a dismissive sneer, clearly not taking her seriously.

As he took a few steps closer, leering from top to bottom and then fixating on Wang Ke’er’s legs, he clicked his tongue, “Tsk tsk, these legs, truly beautiful.

They’d be fantastic over my shoulders.

Oh?

A policewoman?

Where’s your chest, though?”

Wang Ke’er was almost instantly enraged to the point of explosion, quickly drawing her gun and pointing it at Du Qiushan, “Put your hands up!

Bastard!”

“Oh my, what’s this?

Trying to scare me?” Du Qiushan laughed contemptuously, confident that he had Wang Ke’er in his grip.

With a wave of his hand, the next moment, a dozen or so of his men simultaneously pulled out handguns!

Wang Ke’er’s face changed instantly; she had never imagined that these people would actually have guns!

In Huaxia, it’s strictly illegal to possess regulated knives and firearms!

Du Qiushan sneered and slowly pulled out a gun from behind him, aiming it at Wang Ke’er, “Throw away your gun, girl.”
