You Like Them Older? My Great-Aunt Is Still Single

"How did you sleep?"

Early the next morning.

Inside the solemn, tidy lobby of a police station, the windows gleamed and few people came and went. Wang Ji sat in a chair, while Officer Wang Yuan across from him wore a smile.

People always showed more kindness toward handsome men and beautiful women, as if it were only natural. They were also more tolerant of young people, even if that young person had just reached adulthood.

And an eighteen-year-old college graduate was an even more unusual case. In a metropolis like Juxia City, it was not exactly unheard of, but it was certainly rare.

This kid's file was rather thought-provoking...

"Not bad. I don't have trouble sleeping in unfamiliar places... Though it was my first time staying in a detention center, so I couldn't help feeling a little emotional."

Wang Ji was still wearing his PUBG camouflage outfit, and the handcuffs had long since been removed. After confirming that none of those simulated firearms could fire actual bullets, he was no longer considered dangerous.

There was also a conclusion regarding the cheat program's copyright infringement.

"You look awfully calm. Feeling confident?" Officer Wang Yuan glanced at him.

"I wouldn't say that... But I really didn't mean any harm. Whatever punishment is necessary, I'll accept it." Wang Ji sat quietly, without the tension most young people showed when facing something serious.

His parents had been dead for nearly ten years. He had gotten through many things this way, and there had been many firsts he had needed to face alone.

Be careful, communicate, or accept the outcome.

"All right... You've received the education you needed."

Officer Wang Yuan nodded helplessly, then pushed over a document and said seriously, "Considering that you had no malicious intent, gained no profit from it, and caused no financial losses to the game company...

Destroy the cheat program and pay a two-thousand-yuan fine...

Sign here."

Wang Ji nodded and smiled faintly. "Thank you, Officer."

He had thought he would be detained for several days.

Officer Wang Yuan pointed at him helplessly. "You brat... Don't mess around again."

Wang Ji smiled as he signed, then took the chance to glance at two vaguely familiar faces nearby. He shook his head and sighed. "Why couldn't Officer Qi Lin be the one to punish me..."

Not far away, Qi Lin, the policewoman he had met yesterday, was dealing with Liu Chuang, the red-shirted thug involved in the brawl.

She still wore a blue police uniform shirt and police cap. Her features were lovely, and she was strikingly beautiful.

Further away, a middle-aged police officer sat across from Ge Xiao Lun.

"Hehe~ You haven't actually fallen for her, have you? I'd advise you to give up early. She's a tough one... Besides, the age gap between you two is a little too big. You're only eighteen, while Qi Lin is twenty-six."

Officer Wang Yuan offered the reminder kindly.

"I think you're just jealous of my peerless good looks."

After signing his name, Wang Ji gave an easy smile. "If I don't stand a chance, then you, old brother, are even further from one.

As for age, who cares that much about it nowadays... I like women older than me.

Haven't you heard the saying?

A woman three years older brings gold bricks.

A woman thirty years older gives you a kingdom.

A woman three hundred years older gives you immortal pills; a woman three thousand years older puts you among the immortals.

A woman thirty thousand years older gets the Queen Mother to feed you; a woman three hundred thousand years older gets the Buddha to stand at your door and welcome you.

A woman three million years older lets you admire the Seven Fairies whenever you want.

A woman thirty million years older wouldn't be traded for even Chang'e.

A woman three hundred million years older could create heaven and earth.

Old brother, in the face of love, age is never a problem."

That entire string left the officer utterly stunned. When he finally came back to his senses, he felt that the kid really was like a bird released from its cage, clearly delighted.

Officer Wang Yuan shook his head and laughed. "What kind of nonsense is all that...

But then again, if you really like older women, my great-aunt is still single. What do you think?"

"..."

Wang Ji looked at the wrinkles on the man's forehead, then silently patted the form. "I'd better hurry up and pay the fine."

"Hey! Little brother! Don't leave! We can talk it over if you've got concerns!"

Wang Ji turned a deaf ear. He got to his feet, but before he could walk over to say goodbye to Qi Lin, his brows rose slightly as he turned and saw a man and woman walking this way.

The man wore a black suit and black sunglasses. He had a burly build and looked exactly like a bodyguard or secret agent from a movie.

The woman wore jeans and a red leather jacket. Her ample chest formed a deep cleavage, while her slender, snow-white waist was exposed. Even more eye-catching was her long wine-red hair, beautiful and captivating.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her expression cool, and her skin fair.

She was a top-tier beauty, easily among the best Wang Ji had ever seen.

He lowered his gaze slightly and naturally stepped half a pace back, clearing the way for them.

As the pair walked past, he only gave them a casual glance before looking away.

Two more Super Soldiers. This modern spiritual-energy-revival world was terrifying...

Not counting himself, he had discovered four Super Soldiers and one Super Gene carrier in only two days. That frequency left him speechless.

The pair headed toward Ge Xiao Lun. Wang Ji did not look any further, instead walking up to Qi Lin's desk and smiling. "Sister Qi Lin, I just wanted to ask... Can I have your WeChat?"

"I still need my WeChat myself."

Qi Lin was already furious with Liu Chuang in front of her, and she had little patience for this handsome little brother whose intentions were so obvious. "Stop thinking about me. You're pretty good-looking, but you're too young. There's no chance between us."

After thinking it over, she still slapped one of her business cards into his hand and reminded him, "It's not easy being alone at such a young age. If anything happens, remember to find the police. All right, I need to get back to work."

Wang Ji noncommittally tucked the card into his pocket. To him, this was merely a perfectly legitimate way to add her on WeChat.

Even before getting the gene system, it would not have been difficult for him to obtain Qi Lin's information with his hacking skills.

As for getting caught over the cheat program this time, he understood his own feelings... They were complicated.

Although his good intentions had indeed been repaid with trouble, he had never intended to resist. There was no need.

With a slight wave, he said goodbye to Officer Wang Yuan and left.

Wang Ji had no intention of taking back the pile of dismantled model guns. After paying the fine, he returned to his residence.

He tidied up the rented apartment that had been left in disarray after he was suddenly taken away and searched, took a shower, ate some delivery food, and fell straight into bed.

He did not know what to say... Perhaps the road ahead was unknown, or perhaps he would no longer live in Huaxia.

But none of that was certain.

Night.

Inside a taxi.

Wang Ji slowly replied to one WeChat message after another, most of them from former female classmates.

Although he had made his attitude clear, there were still quite a few persistent admirers. He had no intention of blocking anyone; they were classmates, after all.

Besides, he was bored, and he was not some aloof person.

Come to think of it, this was the first time he had wanted to pursue a girl, only to be rejected so quickly... He liked police officers, not just because Qi Lin was beautiful.

Unfortunately... He had barely tried to chat a little more on WeChat before being politely turned down again.

Sigh... Those who reject others will eventually be rejected themselves.

Forget it.

"Little brother, something doesn't seem right here!"

The middle-aged taxi driver suddenly spoke, breaking the silence. "There are police cars and military vehicles up ahead, and it looks like they've blocked the road. We probably can't get to the airport."

Wang Ji frowned slightly and looked ahead.

His mood had been complicated earlier, so he had not noticed. On the previously open Airport Road, more and more armed troops were indeed appearing ahead. In the distance, he could even see helicopters roaring past.

Behind them, police cars also began emerging from the city, racing toward the front with their lights flashing.

Some civilian vehicles were returning from ahead toward the city as well, clearly far more than would normally be heading back.

Though they were still far away, the taxi driver's judgment was accurate. They probably would not be able to get through.

And from ten kilometers away, there seemed to be the faintest sound of artillery fire. Wang Ji should have noticed it immediately, but his complicated mood had made him miss it entirely.

Judging by the situation, something major must have happened ahead.

But that meant he would miss his flight.

They had only just left the city, and the airport was still forty kilometers away...

"What if we take a detour?"

Wang Ji frowned slightly. As someone who had once been ordinary, even though he was no longer ordinary now, he still had no desire to get involved in something potentially dangerous and beyond the business of civilians.

When it came to military affairs, civilians should stay as far away as possible. That was common sense: avoid danger and avoid accidentally being suspected of espionage.

"There's no way around it... Look, little brother, how about we split the fare? I'll take you back. We really can't go any farther." The middle-aged driver pulled over by the roadside.

Wang Ji frowned and thought quietly for a moment, then shook his head slightly. "You head back. I'll try to find another car. Where's the QR code?"

He scanned the code and paid, then got out of the taxi under the driver's stunned gaze.
