"Senior Sister, which way do we go up ahead?"

Xiao Wang had no idea whether Wen Lujia was actually drunk or just pretending, but either way, it did not matter.

"Turn left."

Wen Lujia looked up.

Then, with one giving directions and the other leading the way, they continued forward.

When the two entered a narrow alley, seven or eight people suddenly rushed out from the shadows along the sides.

They all looked to be in their twenties. Two of them carried iron weapons, dragging them along the ground with an ear-piercing scraping sound.

They split into two groups of four, blocking the pair's path from both ends.

"You really do have a crow's mouth. You said there'd be a robbery, and there's a robbery."

Xiao Wang watched them and guided Wen Lujia toward the wall to the side, shielding her behind him with his body.

Wen Lujia watched, the corners of her lips curling up.

"Didn't you say you wanted me to protect you?"

"Senior Sister, is this really the time to argue about that?"

After saying that, Xiao Wang looked at the seven or eight people closing in and said, "Brothers, who do you run with? Maybe we're on the same side."

"The same side? And who do you run with?"

"I'm with Sister Hua."

"Sister Hua? Which Sister Hua? Never heard of her."

"What about Fish Brother? You know Fish Brother, right? He's my boss too."

"What Fish Brother, what Sister Hua? You're stalling, kid. Hurry up and hand over the money. If we have to do it ourselves, don't blame us for being rough."

"Boss, this chick's pretty."

Just as the leader was demanding money from Xiao Wang, one of the men beside him glanced at Wen Lujia and spoke.

The leader then looked at Wen Lujia as well and was instantly drawn in by her beauty.

Then he looked over her figure.

It was even more eye-catching.

"She really is pretty. Hey, sweetheart, want to come with me and be my woman? What's the point of following this kid? Other than being a little handsome, he's nothing but a coward."

Xiao Wang did not get angry when he heard that.

Instead, Wen Lujia spoke up.

"I've wanted to stop following him for a long time, but if I want to go with you, Big Brother, he won't agree."

Xiao Wang: ...???

"Senior Sister, can you not stir up trouble?"

"See? I told you he wouldn't agree."

Xiao Wang: ???

"He doesn't agree? Who the hell does he think he is? I'll cripple him right now. Brothers, take care of him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the men closed in, ready to attack Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang immediately began circulating his breathing technique, but he still kept Wen Lujia behind him. He felt that she might really be drunk and talking nonsense.

But just as the other side was about to make a move, Wen Lujia stepped forward and pulled something from her person.

"Why don't you all take a look at what this is?"

With that, she held an ID badge up before them.

The men looked at it.

"Patrol... Bureau...?"

The moment those three words came out, two of the seven or eight men immediately looked nervous.

But the leader quickly steadied the others.

"Don't panic. So you're from the Patrol Bureau? Don't fucking try to scare me with the Patrol Bureau. It's not like I've never beaten up Patrol Bureau people before. Here, no bureau fucking! Means! Shit!"

He deliberately stressed the last three words.

By now, Xiao Wang could see that Wen Lujia was not drunk at all and was in perfectly good condition, though he still remained alert at her side.

Wen Lujia did not react much to what the other side said. She merely reminded him flatly, "Look carefully. What does it say on there?"

"Isn't it the Patrol Bureau? Hurry up and hand over the money. Since you're a girl from the Patrol Bureau, I'll let you off for now today."

At that moment, one of the lackeys beside him reminded the leader, "Boss, boss, look at the information below."

So the leader took a slightly closer look at the ID badge in Wen Lujia's hand.

Patrol Bureau.

Vice Captain: Wen Lujia.

"Vice Captain? Wen Lujia? So what?" the leader asked in confusion.

"Boss, I think this is Captain Wen from the Patrol Bureau," the lackey beside him reminded him.

As soon as he heard that, the leader instinctively looked toward Wen Lujia's chest.

He had heard the rumors that Captain Wen had a large chest.

"Huh? It doesn't look that big."

Before he could say anything else—

Smack!

Wen Lujia slapped him across the face.

The blow sent him toppling sideways onto the ground, five bloody finger marks clearly visible on his face.

Only then did the others finally realize that the woman before them was the Patrol Bureau's famous female captain, Wen Lujia.

Seeing that things had gone wrong, they did not even bother with their leader on the ground and hurriedly started to run.

"Did I say you could leave? I've memorized your faces. If you leave now, you'll be reporting to the Patrol Bureau tomorrow."

The stern baby voice carried a trace of killing intent, making the fleeing men voluntarily turn back and return.

They stood before Wen Lujia.

They knew that if Wen Lujia made a move, not one of them would escape.

"Sorry, Captain Wen. We didn't know it was you. If we had known it was you, even if we had ten thousand times the courage, we wouldn't dare rob you of your money."

Wen Lujia ignored them and walked over to the man she had slapped, squatting down before him.

"Do you still want me to be your woman?"

"No, no. Even if I had a thousand times the courage, I wouldn't dare ask you to be my woman, Captain Wen. I really didn't know it was you. And earlier, when I looked at your... looked at your chest, I absolutely didn't mean any disrespect. I was just trying to confirm something."

"Confirm? Confirm what?"

"The rumors all say your chest is big, but..."

"But what? Are you saying mine isn't big?"

"No, no, it's very big. Very big."

The leader immediately changed his tune, though inwardly he was miserable. Fuck, I've been fooled badly. Which bastard started that rumor?

Wen Lujia stood back up and looked at the group.

"Hands on your heads. Stand against the wall. I'm going to take care of something, and I'll be back later. Before I return, if I find out anyone ran, you can imagine the consequences yourselves."

After she said that, they all followed her orders and stood in a row against the wall with their hands on their heads. Even the leader on the ground immediately got up and stood properly, as though this was not punishment but forgiveness.

"And if I find out you do this kind of thing again, watch your heads."

With that, Wen Lujia linked her arm through Xiao Wang's again and continued forward.

"Senior Sister, that name of yours is pretty impressive. They were scared stiff just hearing it."

"That is completely slander against my reputation. I'm very gentle."

Xiao Wang: ...

"And have you heard the rumors about me?"

"What rumors?" Xiao Wang pretended to ask.

"What rumors do you think? You clearly heard them just now."

"Oh, those? Never heard of them."

Yeah, right. I'm a victim too. Who knows where Guan Chaoyang heard that shit.

"Do you like them big or small? Forget it, all men like big ones, right?"

Xiao Wang: ???

"Senior Sister, is this something we can talk about?"
