Chapter 166

“Ahh… So rough of you, husband.” Wei Jun flinched at Liu Yu’s words and stepped back in disgust. When Liu Yu saw that, she chuckled and said, “I thought you liked lascivious girls. Given how you’re so infatuated with that wench Xia Lu.”

“There’s a difference between lascivious and a sl**.” Wei Jun said, freezing Liu Yu in her spot. She looked at Wei Jun, anger in her eyes as she said, “It seems you have lost your mind, husband.”

“Probably,” Wei Jun dispelled all the skills and calmly said, “Go ahead. Take a swing on me. Prime chance to kill me.”

However, Liu Yu didn’t move to that provocation. She couldn’t after all. She was too bound to do that. She wasn’t stronger than her master at the moment. She couldn’t disobey him. She needed him to grow stronger as well so she decided to hold off on making any hasty decisions.

Besides, a war started by her would be hardly beneficial to her, at all.

“See you around, husband.” Liu Yu said and left, taking her purse from the couch she was sitting on.

Wei Jun watched her leave with a cold look on his face. However, he also knew that a war started by him would be detrimental to him. The consequences would be too harsh.

He wasn’t powerful enough to impose his own will on everyone. He had to do what Sun Ruan wanted at the moment, well, as long as it wasn’t anything too unreasonable.

Wei Jun turned and made his way to the dinner on the table. It was exactly the same as the one made by the maid. It seemed like Liu Yu didn’t know how to cook.

‘Well, as long as she doesn’t come in front of me.’ Wei Jun thought as he left to freshen up before he began to eat.

The threat was to kill the maid if she came in front of him. But if she didn’t, then Wei Jun didn’t mind.

Besides, he couldn’t kill her that easily anyway. Although the repercussions would be a lot less severe, she was still a core disciple. He didn’t want to make any hasty moves while the looming threat of the sect was still hanging above his neck.

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

The next day, the police were ordered to launch a full-scale operation against the gangs of the city by the mayor. Of course, they didn’t wipe out everyone, only some small-level gangs that dealt with the public. The higher level ones never dealt in public so they weren’t a threat to the public.

The operation was funded by none other than Wei Jun Ruan of the Ruan family. When asked at the press conference regarding it, Wei Jun simply replied, “I couldn’t help but do so to restore the faith of the public in the police. Even though what happened to me was unfortunate, Detective Zhao Hui convinced me that there were good policemen as well and the good ones shouldn’t suffer because of the bad ones.”

Wei Jun then looked at the smiling Zhao Hui next to him and said, “So when he came to me with his concerns, I couldn’t help but admire his will to go so far for justice.”

Zhao Hui smiled even more, after all, his superior was sitting right next to him. If not, he wouldn’t be smiling right now. He would be cursing. At least five generations of Wei Jun were cursed in his heart.

“Pffttt!!! HAHAHAHA!!!” A certain blue-eyed girl laughed uncontrollably as she said, “Uncle Hui looks like he’s constipated.”

“Is that something a woman should be saying?” A man asked.

“What?” Yan Rong asked with a cold expression as she said with chill in her eyes, “Who told you, you could come so close to me?”

The man involuntarily stepped back and clamped his mouth shut. “Stay within your limit when you speak to me. Next time I will use my hand instead of a verbal warning.”

“Ye—Yes.” The man replied. The other men in the room looked at him pitifully.

Yan Rong, although their team leader, was someone who never treated them like human beings. They would have thought that she wasn’t interested in the opposite gender but leaned more on the same gender side but that theory was marked invalid as well because she was equally harsh to everyone.

“Hmm? I thought about it last time but he looks even more charming in an Italian than in three piece.” Yan Rong said to particularly no one but everyone in the room heard it clearly.

On the TV, Zhao Hui wasn’t wearing an Italian. Only one person was. Wei Jun Ruan. The handsome man who had charmed every woman in that room and made the men curse him down to his seventeen generations.

As for Yan Rong, while her back was turned to everyone, she had an infatuated expression on her face as she quietly said, “He looks even more charming when deceiving everyone with his lies.”

‘There’s something wrong with her head.’ Everyone in the room thought at the same time.

Although Yan Rong’s voice was very low, everyone in the room was still a cultivator. They heard her clearly.

“Is this a new game of yours?” Zhao Hui asked in anger as they were out of the public’s eye.

“Oye Zhao Hui! How dare you talk to Mister Ruan like that?!” Zhao Hui’s superior scolded Zhao Hui but instead of backing down, Zhao Hui kept his eyes on Wei Jun.

“Why are you so angry, detective? After all, doesn’t this benefit you as well?” Wei Jun asked with a smile.

That smile only vexed Zhao Hui more as he said, “Don’t think you’re doing us a favor. We are just another piece in your schemes.”

Wei Jun’s smile disappeared with his usual cold look as he said, “Well, it’s good that you now know your place. You will live a long life that way.”

Zhao Hui clenched his fists as he asked, “Do you think you will always get away with it?”

“No.” Wei Jun unsurprisingly said. “Not everything will go according to my plan. I am, in the end, a human being, bound to mess up. But, I will still win. If not naturally, then all I have to do is to just snatch it from the winner.”

Wei Jun stepped closer to Zhao Hui and said, “After all, it doesn’t matter who came first. All that matters is that the one who is standing in that first spot is me, always me.”

Zhao Hui couldn’t help but refute that sentence. That was how the world always worked. The world always revolved around the victor. It never mattered who that victor was and how he came to that spot, the world was unconcerned with that story. All it needed was a victor, uninterested in whether he truly was one or not.

“Change that mindset of yours, detective. You will lead a much easier life.” Wei Jun said as he turned around and left the room, leaving the venue where the press conference was held.

On the way, he encountered another meeting being held in the venue.

There was a reason why Wei Jun had chosen that particular venue for the press conference. It was because another press conference was being held there.

A press conference about a company that sold healthy food products. A subsidiary of the Peng family, a medium-grade family of Yuan Yin City.

The Peng family was already lower in rank than the Ruan family, their subsidiary was bound to be even more lower in rank.

However, the person running that company wasn’t someone to be dismissed. It wasn’t because she was all-powerful or something. It was simply because she also didn’t like bending to someone else’s will.

Wei Jun liked these kinds of people so he decided to let her live. As long as she was willing to abandon her bodyguard that was.

Why?

Wei Jun ignored the message he just received and looked at the woman in a formal suit, being followed by a group of four bodyguards. And one of them was none other than Shao Chen.

Wei Jun kept looking at them, not taking his eyes off them for even a second. It wasn’t like he was trying to stir trouble. He was just looking at them.

However, such an intense stare couldn’t be dismissed so easily.

The group stopped. When they turned to look at who it was, the three guards hesitated. As for the girl, she was debating whether to stand up for herself or not.

As for the last individual, for some reason, he didn’t like Wei Jun, not to mention his stare made him uncomfortable.

So he stepped forward, dismissing all risks as he spoke, “What the hell are you looking at?”
