Chapter 107: The Arrogant Wolf King
After receiving the system prompt, Wang Haoran picked up the now unconscious Xiao Yifeng and vanished into the dark night.
He didn’t show up for four reasons:
First, Qin Yunhan’s favorability rating was already 90, and the sheets have all been rolled over. There was no need for him to show up and save her to get a higher rating.
Second, he lied to Qin Yunhan that he was overshadowed by Xiao Yifeng, which allowed him to win her heart. If he revealed his true strength, Qin Yunhan would inevitably doubt him.
Third, he didn’t want to reveal his true strength to Qin Kai. Thus, he made it seem like he himself had nothing to do with Xiao Yifeng’s disappearance.
Fourth, and most importantly, even if Wang Haoran were to end Xiao Yifeng’s career as a protagonist, there will be others to come. There’s also the possibility that they’ll be even stronger than Xiao Yifeng, so it’s important to hide his cards.
At this point, he is well aware of the ludicrous strength these urban protagonists have, even if they themselves choose to hide it. They could blend in with the crowd, like a wolf in sheep’s clothing1.
With this, he can kill two birds with one stone.

“Yunhan, are you alright?” Qin Kai anxiously asked.
“I’m fine.” Qin Yunhan shook her head, her heart still beating rapidly.
Qin Kai checked Li Bo and found that he was just knocked unconscious. He didn’t seem to have any serious injuries.
Fortunately, there was no further sign of imminent danger.
However, Qin Kai was quite puzzled, who was it that came to their rescue?
‘Xiao Yifeng?’
‘No, that’s quite unlikely.’
‘If it were him, he’d be more direct. There’s no need for him to hide after all.’
Apart from Xiao Yifeng, QIn Kai didn’t know any other martial arts masters.
‘Did Feng Yung send someone to help in secret?’
That was the only reasonable explanation he could think of.
Why else would the other party come to their rescue?
Qin Kai angrily glanced at Feng Rong, who was now powerless to resist. He couldn’t wait to cut her into eight different pieces and toss her in the river to feed the fish.
However, he was a well-behaved businessman. In the end, he suppressed this idea and immediately called the police, intending to let the law try Feng Rong.

[On the other side]
Ling Duanya, who happened to be on a night shift, immediately rushed to the scene with a colleague in a bureau car after learning the news.
The road was quite deserted at night.
Ling Duanya got her driver’s license quite a long time ago and has been driving for nearly five years, making her a remarkably good driver.
With her at the wheel, they managed to overtake multiple cars along the way.
“Sister Ling is amazing, the car is so fast yet so steady! I bet you can go to the driving competition if you really want to!”
Her colleague complimented.
“When I find the time to do so, I’ll sign up for a championship.” Ling Duanya gave a proud and energetic smile.
However, her voice soon fell.
At that moment, a grey Mercedes-Benz GTR surpassed Ling Duanya’s car.
The GTR was so fast that it was now almost 250 yards away.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Duanya was left far behind.
[Samael: Any car experts who’d like to fact-check this?]
The atmosphere suddenly grew a little awkward.
Her colleague’s face easily reflected that change.
Ling Duanya herself was an excellent driver, so she was naturally unconvinced of the other party’s skill. Subconsciously, she hit the accelerator to catch up.
However, the GTR was so fast that Ling Duanya couldn’t even see the butt of the car.
“That b*****d!”
Seeing that there was no hope of chasing the GTR, Ling Duanya just patted the steering wheel angrily,
However, after driving a bit longer, she saw the GTR on the side of the road.
It was grey in colour, so this was obviously the one that had just passed her.
The door to the driver’s seat of the GTR was open, and it was there she could see a half-drunk woman on the passenger side.
Next to the GTR, a man had just finished “watering” the flowers and plants by the roadside.
It was Yan Guishan, and the woman at the shotgun seat was the prey he saw in the bar before.
Ling Duanya stopped the car and went down with her colleague.
Just as he was about to return to the driver’s seat, Ling Duanya stopped him.
“We suspect that you were driving dangerously; please show your driving licence and vehicle papers.”
Ling Duanya could smell the alcohol the moment she got close to him, so she added one more, “One more thing, we suspect that you’ve been driving under the influence of alcohol, so please show your ID as well.”
Yan Guishan sized her up, looking at her from top to bottom.
He had seen countless women, but it was the first time he’d seen a woman as beautiful and as heroic as Ling Duanya.
“Going by your clothes, you don’t seem to be in traffic control, are you? ” Yan Guishan smiled uninhibitedly and questioned.
“In the end, we’re all police officers. What’s wrong with a bit of flexibility? Hurry up and show your driving licence and vehicle papers.” Ling Duanya said coldly.
Just now, the GTR had driven more than 250 yards, and the man in front of him had been drinking. If there was a car accident, it would’ve resulted in a serious injury at best, and death at worst.
Ling Duanya didn’t want to let go of a potential hazard to society.
[Samael: Sure, buddy, I believe you.]
“Okay, let me get it for you.”
Yan Guishan slowly got into the GTR, pretending to be holding a certificate, before suddenly stepping on the accelerator and making a run for it.
Before leaving, Yan Guishan pulled out his head and said to Ling Duanya, “Bye beautiful! Perhaps we’ll meet again.”
Yan Guishan didn’t have a driving licence, not even an ID card, and GTR belonged to the woman beside him.
He couldn’t come up with anything, so it would be strange if he didn’t run.
[Samael: PSA. Do not run from the cops; taking legal advice from a work of fiction is a bad idea.]
Besides, he was in a hurry to do business with the woman next to him.
All the more reason for him not to linger.
After seeing the GTR vanish, Ling Duanya practically jumped with anger.
However, since she still had some business left to do, it would be some time before she can go after Yan Guishan.
Even if she gives chase, she wouldn’t be able to catch up to the GTR’s speed.
Alas, she can only forward a report to traffic control and let them deal with it.
Not long after the car left her field of view, it arrived at the Dahao Hotel.
Although the woman was half drunk, she was still somewhat conscious.
She took out a black gold card and opened up a presidential suite.
Soon, both Yan Guishan and the woman entered the hotel room.
“Woman, this will be a night you will never forget.” Yan Guishan’s sharp lips curled slightly, giving him a wild yet charming appeal.
“You won’t even ask my name?” The woman mocked with fascinated eyes.
“Why ask? It’s not like I’ll be taking responsibility.” Yan Guishan’s words were straightforward.
The woman nodded with a sneer.
It was to be expected. Besides, it’s not like she would’ve let him anyway.
The reason why she came with Yan Guishan was just to get revenge on her husband.
Her husband was out and about to the point where he didn’t even come home at the end of the year.
Thus, she wanted to give him a little hat.
How come men have all the fun while women stay home all prim and proper?
[Samael: Ma’am, have you heard of marriage counselling?]
“My husband’s name is Shen Kang. He runs a chain of hotels, and this Dahao Hotel is his property.” The woman planned to give the other party some time to prepare themselves psychologically.
“You’ve got guts, woman.” Yan Guishan was stunned for a moment, and his tone of speech reflected it.
“Are you afraid?” The woman taunted.
“Afraid? Hehe, maybe in your eyes, those rich people with power and money are scary. But in my eyes, they’re like ants.” Yan Guishan arrogantly replied.
