If You Have Problems, Find Uncle Police—A Necessary Accomplishment for a Villain

"Yay, time to eat people!" Seeing the two of them like this, A Jiu excitedly clapped and cheered from the side, her eyes wide as she watched closely.

The ceramic spoon in her hand suddenly fell to the floor with an ill-timed bang.

It shattered the old-married-couple atmosphere between them in an instant.

Though they had just shared an "old married couple" moment.

When it came down to it, the two of them had only had their first kiss yesterday. Before that, they had merely lived together in a dazed, uncertain sort of way.

Strictly speaking, one had never had any romantic experience in his entire life, while the other had not even touched the hand of a woman his own age in two lifetimes.

Faced with a situation like this, once the initial hormone-driven impulse faded, neither of them, utterly inexperienced as they were, knew what to do next.

What were they supposed to do now?

On top of that, A Jiu was right beside them, watching expectantly with innocent eyes, making Jiang Anran blush even more.

She did not know why she was acting this way. She was not usually the sort of person who got so shy she could not speak.

Where had her usual poised and graceful confidence gone?

While one person questioned herself, the other stared.

What a lovely sheer curtain!

Young Master Fei narrowed his eyes and tilted his head up, carefully examining the sheer curtain hanging from the rod. His gaze followed its patterns all the way along, as if his eyes could replace his actions and escape this awkward setting.

Yet perhaps he had chosen the wrong route from the start, or perhaps the curtain pattern, eager to watch the show, simply refused to let him go. After circling around and around, his gaze landed once more by Jiang Anran's feet.

Seeing this, it appeared he would have to be the one to break the awkwardness.

"Ahem, Jiang Anran..." Young Master Fei raised a fist to his mouth and gave two fake coughs, restarting the conversation.

"I can't make you any promises right now, and I won't be able to for a long time. You know that. Xiyue and I are still in a relationship, and I can't break up with her. But even if I do break up with her later..."

The more Young Master Fei spoke, the more he felt like a scumbag.

Wasn't this practically a scumbag's standard line?

Even if he could not make her any promises because of the plot.

Young Master Fei himself still felt that he was being rather scummy.

The more he spoke, the less confident he became. He looked at Jiang Anran through half-lidded eyes.

However, Jiang Anran stopped him from defending himself. "I understand, Young Master. I know it all. There's no need for you to say anything, Young Master. I understand. Anran is only a servant. As long as I can serve Young Master, that is enough."

"Even without those strange reasons, you are the heir of the Fei family, while I am only a servant."

A servant?

Hearing her say that, Young Master Fei hurriedly waved his hands and explained in a fluster, "No, no, no. Being the Fei family's heir isn't important. You aren't a servant in my eyes either."

"I believe you, Young Master. If I did not know how you felt, Young Master, wouldn't Anran be a cheap woman?"

"I..." Young Master Fei grew anxious and was about to say something else, but Jiang Anran forcibly cut him off.

"Alright, alright. Young Master is still very busy today, isn't he? Don't waste your time here. Hurry and go take care of your proper business."

Her brows curved as she gave him a radiant smile, ending the subject.

She fetched a dustpan and broom, carefully swept up the ceramic fragments from the floor, then got A Jiu a new spoon and served her another bowl.

Young Master Fei watched her bustling back and forth, her entire body brimming with energy.

Before this, he had thought it was merely a four-days-on, three-days-off job. He only needed to show up when necessary and did not need to do anything while playing his role as a slacking villain.

But that protagonist was far too unreliable, stubbornly dumping all the work and refusing to do any of it.

He was the only one suffering, as his workload suddenly turned into 007.

It was impossible not to be tired. Over the past two days, he had gradually begun to feel utterly exhausted.

But now, Young Master Fei was filled with renewed vigor, convinced he could keep going until retirement at sixty-five!

???

What did this mean?

Young Master Fei, freshly fired up, was so frightened he nearly got a nosebleed.

System, how could you be about to disappear?

On closer inspection, he found it could still be saved. The system was merely upgrading.

Had his actions caused it to crash?

With the system unavailable, he could not calculate it accurately on his own.

Forget it. He would ask once the upgrade was complete. For now, he would continue at his own pace.

Time to get to work!

The first matter was Gu Xiyue's situation.

He took out his laptop and sent Gu Xiyue another email in Ye Chen's name.

But that was only the most basic step.

There had been no response after yesterday's email, so he could not expect too much from today's either.

Young Master Fei decided to work on two fronts.

If the email worked, that would be best. All he would need to do afterward was let Ye Chen "accidentally" learn that Gu Xiyue had nearly been scammed. Surely Ye Chen would destroy them himself.

If it did not work and he could not add the favorability points to Ye Chen's account, then he would have to deal with that bunch of scammers directly.

If he could not solve the problem, then he would simply solve the people who had raised it.

As long as he found out where they lived, he could think of a way to make sure they never appeared again.

If he remembered correctly, the leader of that group was called Ji Gangji?

They should be people from Neon over in Changning District.

That was troublesome.

A powerful dragon could not crush the local snake.

His influence could not reach into Changning District.

Even if he knew where they lived, if he accidentally alerted the Shen Family while making a move, he would be put on the back foot immediately.

The Shen Family had Neon ties. It was impossible for them not to be Ji Gangji's protective umbrella, and even in the novel, Ye Chen had needed to put in some effort to deal with them.

As for waiting until they came out and dealing with them here?

First, they generally did not leave Changning District. Young Master Fei estimated that they would only come to Gu Corporation on the day they signed the contract.

Intercept them on the road? It was possible, but if he failed to stop them and let them get through, it would be over.

To be safe, if force would not work, then he had to use civilized means.

This was a society ruled by law. What was the simplest and most direct method?

Report them!

Gather evidence of their crimes and hand it over to the police.

Would they still be able to stir up trouble then?

Not even the Shen Family could save them.

Although the original villain, Fei Yangyao, had been a notorious young master of South City, the one who had transmigrated here was not. In his previous life, he had been used to calling the police whenever there was a problem.

He did not have the flaws of protagonists in ordinary Dragon King novels, where every problem was solved with force or violence, as though the police did not exist.

However, while he knew they were committing crimes, he had no direct evidence, which made things difficult.

Without evidence, the police would not arrest them outright. They would only begin an investigation.

But while an investigation was an investigation, Gu Xiyue could not afford to wait.

Fortunately, he had some connections. When the time came, he only needed to make a call and use one of them—ask a certain deputy director who wished to remain anonymous to cooperate with him, have him arrest the people first, and investigate afterward.

Although that was not entirely by the book, as long as Young Master Fei repeatedly assured him that the group had indeed committed crimes, such minor details would not matter.

If the email did not work, report them. If reporting them was too slow, use connections and take the fast track.

Solid!

But first, he needed someone to keep an eye on them so the police could arrest them conveniently when the time came.

With that in mind, Young Master Fei picked up his phone, intending to call Zhao Jinfei over.
