Crazy Gambler. Wang Ye online!

"Zhou Han, lend me a hat."

Wang Ye looked at Zhou Han and said.

Zhou Han took two steps back, watching him warily. "What for?!"

"The thing on her head—I'm afraid it'll scare people!"

Wang Ye pointed at the nail in the woman's head. The woman cooperatively turned around as well, staring blankly at Zhou Han.

Zhou Han rubbed at the goosebumps on her arms and gave Wang Ye a strange look.

After a long while—

"Fine!" Zhou Han cautiously returned to her room, took out a cute pink hat with rabbit ears, and tossed it to Wang Ye.

Wang Ye's expression turned a little strange as he put the hat on the woman's head.

To be honest, although the woman's complexion was somewhat pale, she was still remarkably beautiful. With that hat on, she even looked a little cute.

Of course—

If anyone learned her identity, that would be a different story.

"Let's give you a name. You'll be called..."

"Xiao Si."

"After all, you're the owner of 404."

Wang Ye thought for a moment, then nodded in satisfaction.

As he spoke, Wang Ye and Xiao Si both looked at Zhou Han. "By the way, the headquarters is holding a meeting. Want to come?"

"N-No." Zhou Han awkwardly backed away two steps.

Wang Ye's twisted sense of humor had successfully disgusted Zhou Han, finally allowing him to vent some of his frustration.

"My neighbor isn't an easy position to fill." Wang Ye gave Zhou Han a deep look, then instructed Xiao Si to follow him and gradually walked away.

After Wang Ye left—

The fear on Zhou Han's face slowly vanished. She watched his retreating back with an icy expression.

After a long while—

"You're getting more and more interesting."

Zhou Han murmured softly.

Then, humming a tune, she skipped away with her hands behind her back, looking nothing like the flustered girl from before.

Heavenly Group Headquarters.

Xiao Si silently followed behind Wang Ye, with almost no sense of presence at all.

Under the receptionist's respectful gaze, Wang Ye entered the elevator and habitually pressed the button for the twenty-first floor.

Then—

"Sorry, the meeting room is on the forty-second floor."

Listening to the polite words of the Logistics Department staff member, Wang Ye awkwardly returned to the elevator and pressed the button for the forty-second floor.

When he arrived at the meeting room on the forty-second floor, a massive conference table stood in the center.

Wang Ye clicked his tongue. This table could probably seat a hundred people.

No one sat at the conference table. Everyone was gathered in the nearby lounge area, chatting in small groups.

As Wang Ye arrived, everyone's eyes fell on him.

Then, most of them quickly lost interest and looked away.

When Liu Qian spotted Wang Ye from afar, her eyes lit up. She stood and waved at him. "Come sit over here."

Beside her, Wang Qiang also gave Wang Ye a friendly smile.

Wang Ye nodded and sat down with them. If nothing unexpected happened, these two were the core team Zhang Ziliang had currently arranged for him.

It never hurt to build some rapport in advance.

"This is?"

Relying on a woman's powerful intuition, Liu Qian immediately fixed her gaze on Xiao Si.

Xiao Si's peerless beauty made a faint sense of inferiority rise within her.

It was as if she had found the root cause of why Wang Ye had not fallen for her charms.

Naturally, Wang Ye had no idea what Liu Qian was thinking. He merely introduced her casually. "This is my... friend."

Assuming this friend did not beat him to death after waking up, that was.

Xiao Si silently stood behind Wang Ye, as though her mind had drifted elsewhere. Facing Liu Qian's friendly smile, her expression remained numb.

Liu Qian dejectedly withdrew her gaze and chatted idly with Wang Ye.

Liu Qian and the others had probably already heard something from Zhang Ziliang. The conversation clearly revolved around Wang Ye.

"Eh, is that Zhou Han?"

"That crazy woman is here."

Whispers rose one after another as everyone looked toward the elevator entrance.

Zhou Han walked out with both hands tugging at her ponytail, grinning. Everyone who met her gaze hurriedly looked away.

That crazy woman was notoriously difficult to deal with. Anyone she fixated on would suffer miserably.

And she was incredibly powerful, too.

Only the Young Man in the corner, sipping lightly from a glass of red wine by himself, looked at Zhou Han with a wicked smile curling at his lips. He straightened his expensive suit, put on what he considered an elegant smile, and approached her.

"Xiaohan, long time no see."

The Young Man coughed softly and spoke to Zhou Han in a gentlemanly manner.

Yet Zhou Han acted as though she had not seen him at all, walking right past him as if searching for something.

At last, Zhou Han's eyes lit up. "Wang Ye!"

With that, she jogged over to Wang Ye, gave Xiao Si a wide berth, and sat down near Wang Ye. "Hehe, I've thought it over. Even though you already have her, I'll still persevere!"

Zhou Han pointed at Xiao Si, her face full of determination.

In an instant, countless astonished gazes turned toward them.

Wang Ye's brow twitched slightly.

Did this crazy woman not know people would misunderstand her if she talked like that?!

Women really were trouble!

Sure enough, the smile on the Young Man holding the wineglass gradually vanished, and a trace of gloom flashed through his eyes. He snorted coldly, walked over, and looked down at Wang Ye.

"Get lost. I'm sitting here!"

His voice was icy, carrying an unquestionable command.

Wang Qiang's expression changed slightly as he whispered into Wang Ye's ear, "That guy is Su Wenqian, a top-tier Superhuman who's undergone a second Awakening. He's a strong contender for the captain's position this time."

Wang Ye said flatly, "You're noisy. Xiao Si, I don't want to hear him speak."

From beginning to end, he did not even spare Su Wenqian a single glance.

The Superhumans gathered in the corner all watched with interest, but no one spoke up to stop them.

Put nicely, they were a group of esteemed Superhumans here.

Put bluntly, they were people with immense power who were waiting to die.

At any moment, they could turn into violent thugs.

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Su Wenqian's expression instantly darkened. He opened his mouth to speak.

The next second, Xiao Si, who had been quietly standing in place, suddenly raised her hand and slapped Su Wenqian across the mouth—fast, precise, and steady.

A tremendous force struck him, sending Su Wenqian flying backward before he crashed heavily onto the floor.

His mouth swelled up instantly.

Watching this, Wang Ye clicked his tongue slightly. He had told Xiao Si to act partly as a test, but he had not expected her to follow instructions so rigidly.

He said he did not want to hear Su Wenqian speak, so she only hit his mouth.

Light radiated from Su Wenqian's legs as his face twisted into a savage expression. Rising amid a swirl of smoke, he charged fiercely at Xiao Si, his eyes filled with venomous hatred.
