Stuck in a Chinese novel

"See you around, Wei Jun," Wei Jun still remembered that moment and couldn't help but think about it again and again.

Saying that he was charmed by it or lost like a high school boy was a stretch. Instead, his mind went straight to…

'She did something to me.' Wei Jun said to the system.

[For the thousandth time]

[It was just a kiss]

'No. She did something. She may have poisoned me with her lipstick or tried to infiltrate my Qi core with her Qi.' Wei Jun refuted the system.

[She wasn't wearing a makeup]

[And her Qi didn't move in the slightest]

[It was a kiss]

'No. There must be something that you missed.' Wei Jun said.

[Right]

[A little girl born yesterday at the stage of just Qi manifestation realm managed to fool a million years old Qi master like me who reached the transcendence of cultivation]

'Exactly.' Wei Jun agreed with this explanation.

[Sarcasm]

[That was sarcasm]

[If she managed to give you something]

[Then it's paranoia]

Wei Jun's eyes flinched but he didn't say anything. Instead, he asked, 'Then why would a girl just kiss someone out of nowhere?'

[Maybe she's open]

[Or maybe you should look in the mirror]

'What's that supposed to mean?' Wei Jun asked.

In reply, the system showed Wei Jun his status, or to be precise, just one stat.

[Charm: 51]

Looking at it, Wei Jun once again asked, 'What's that supposed to mean?'

[You cannot practice being dense right now]

[Anyway, it was a kiss]

[Either forget about it]

[Or get in contact with her]

'That doesn't sound right.' Wei Jun was apprehensive. He had already lost Xia Lu big time. He didn't know what she would do upon learning of this fact as well. She may not even forgive him this time.

[Is that fact more important than a beauty like that]

'So you're a womanizer who goes after beautiful girls?' Wei Jun asked.

[Of course]

[Beauty is the man's number one criterion]

[Besides]

[Coming from me that she is a beauty means a lot]

[My wives were ten times more beautiful than her]

Wei Jun chose to ignore that remark and thought back to the moment. He was left stunned when she kissed him, not because he was flustered but because he couldn't understand her motives.

And even after an hour of debate, he didn't arrive at a conclusion.

"You know, it's rude to think about someone else when you're with someone else." Zi Huan remarked as put a lemonade in front of Wei Jun.

He had given Wei Jun a drink in the past but he denied it, saying he didn't drink so he gave him a lemonade this time.

"A ridiculously beautiful girl and you. You make a choice." Wei Jun said.

"Point made." Zi Huan said and then asked, "What do you need?"

"Explosives." Wei Jun said.

"What? You had enough to blow up half of the city." Zi Huan confusedly said. Even if the attack on the Ruan family building and surroundings was Wei Jun's doing, he should still have a good amount of explosives.

"Wait." It then clicked and Zi Huan asked, "Was it you last night at the western highway?"

Wei Jun remained quiet but that was all the answer Zi Huan needed. "Ah cr*p. I have a lunatic as my customer."

He then looked at Wei Jun for a while before he said with a sigh, "I can give you about ten percent of your requirement right now. The rest will have to be ordered."

"Don't you have it lying around?" Wei Jun asked.

"I have police lying around as well. And with your stunt at the Western Highway, the cultivator's special forces have been officially involved." Zi Huan said.

"I see." Wei Jun nodded in understanding before he said, "I need a few more things as well."

"Good luck finding them because you killed the last supplier." Zi Huan said, referring to the dealer Wei Jun had obtained the biker and some gadgets before he killed him.

"Did a new one not take his place?" Wei Jun asked because what Zi Huan said didn't make sense. The competition in the underworld was more intense than anywhere else.

One criminal was barely dead when a hundred were ready to take his place. After all, the legal bigwigs needed someone to do the dirty work.

"Someone as well connected as him. Doubt that." Zi Huan said.

"If he was so well connected, then why hasn't he been avenged?" Wei Jun asked curiously.

"You really don't have any other contact with the underworld except for me, do you?" Zi Huan asked.

Once again Wei Jun didn't say anything but Zi Huan got his answer as he said, "There is a 100 million yuan bounty on you. They just don't know it is you who killed him."

Wei Jun nodded but all he did was, "Meh."

"Meh?" Zi Huan asked.

"I mean just 100 million for a guy you claim to be well-connected speaks volumes of how cheap the underworld is." Wei Jun said.

Zi Huan stared at Wei Jun for a while before he said, "Fair point."

He then got Wei Jun weapons, some machine guns, some ammo for his big weapons, and some explosives that were barely enough to blow a block but they were still helpful to Wei Jun.

"What else?" Zi Huan asked.

"I need some of those things." Wei Jun once again said.

"Haa…" Zi Huan sighed and then said, "Fine. I will see what I can arrange for my number one customer."

"Really?" Wei Jun asked.

"Really. You have brought me more business than all of my past customers combined. May you live long." Zi Huan said.

"Mhm." Wei Jun said before he remarked, "For a number one customer, I have never received a discount."

"If you're looking for a discount, the food stall's a couple of blocks away. Buy a pack of bananas and he will give you a full yuan discount." Zi Huan straightforwardly dismissed such a notion.

Wei Jun shook his head and said, "Then, I will be leaving. I will visit in a week's time. Prepare a few things by then."

"Sure." Zi Huan replied.

*********************************

Wei Jun came out of the small bar and made his way to his car. Since he couldn't go around robbing the city in broad daylight, especially with a cultivator as strong as Yan Rong roaming the city, Wei Jun decided to do that officially.

And the best way to do that was none other than the very mayor of the city. All Wei Jun had to do was make his way to the city mayor. Blackmail him, push him around, possibly threaten him with his life if he talked back, and voila. All done.

What Wei Jun didn't know was what happened to Zi Huan after he left so merrily.

*********

The door to Zi Huan's private room opened and he said, "Welcome." But it was a short welcome as he froze when he saw who it was.

"Little Zi, how are you~~?" A certain blue-eyed girl in a blue dress and blue purse entered the bar, a happy expression on her face. But what Zi Huan noticed the most were the blood stains on her dress.

"What did you do?" He asked, a foreboding sense overwhelming him.

"Well, I don't know why, but whenever I go out, some disgusting men try to touch me all the time. So I have to break their hearts sometimes. Sometimes, to the point that they are left breathless." Yan Rong replied like a beautiful girl before she added with an even more enchanting smile, "Literally."

To Zi Huan, however, that smile was nothing but the smile that might decide his fate today. He knew she wasn't someone he could take on. Hell, he would be lying headless on the floor before even blinked.

"What do you want?" Zi Huan asked.

"Oh, I want to know about your previous customer. Why was Wei Jun Ruan here?" Yan Rong asked with a cute curious expression.

'How does she know him?' Zi Huan wondered inwardly because the Yan Rong he knew never had any interest in men, even if they were criminals she was after.

But for now, that didn't matter because there was something else at stake at the moment. Whether or not he should oust Wei Jun Ruan. Doing so would be very easy but not doing so would be the sole foundation of his business.

Not to mention if Wei Jun came out for his crimes, Zi Huan would be punished as well for being an accomplice in such major terror incidents.

So, in the end, he decided to cover for Wei Jun even though things may get a little troublesome moving forward.

"He was a customer. Here to buy some white powder." Zi Huan simply pointed the issue towards drugs. After all, it wasn't strange for a rich boy to do drugs.

"Oh, really~~~?" Yan Rong once again cutely asked. "I guess that must be it."
Your adventure continues at m v|l-e'm,p| y r

Her reply placated Zi Huan a little but before he could even react, his neck was held by a soft hand but the clenching feeling on his neck was anything but soft.

"Little Zi," Yan Rong said with a smile and asked, "Do you want to die?"
