Chapter 7

7. Uncle, why didn’t you say so earlier?

The power of a “bad woman” lies in the fact that, many times, men know full well that she is a dangerous rose with thorns, yet they still resolutely reach out, only to end up bleeding and in tears, realizing they have already fallen and can no longer maintain the clear-headedness they originally envisioned.

From another perspective, those who wish to toy with bad women often find themselves unable to extricate themselves, instead becoming deeply entrenched, with the player ultimately being played.

After leaving the bar, Wen Han was just about to catch the last bus when she suddenly noticed a figure blocking her path.

“You…” Slightly tipsy, Qin Long stood before her with flushed cheeks. “Why were you talking to another man just now? Don’t you know I’d get jealous?”

Wen Han remained expressionless, glancing at him: “You’re drunk, I don’t like it.”

“I… I’m sorry.” Qin Long flashed a flattering smile but suddenly furrowed his brows. “Wen Han, I… feel so lonely, so lonely…”

Wen Han silently stepped back, watching him in silence.

“My parents gave me a lot of money, but I’m not happy at all!” Qin Long appeared to be spilling his true feelings due to the alcohol, tears welling up in his eyes. “I do have many women around me, but I have no feelings for them… My heart is empty!”

“So?”

If I’m guessing right, he’s about to say I’m very different.

“But you are different!” Qin Long raised his hand. “Wen Han, you…”

The next line should be something about how you are very different for me.

“You are very different for me.”

Sigh! Same old routine.

Wen Han impatiently took a deep breath: “If you like me, I hope you can tell me when you’re sober, and I don’t like you like this.”

“I…”

“Let’s talk another day.”

Wen Han couldn’t be bothered to engage further and brushed past him.

Qin Long’s brows immediately knitted together; he hadn’t expected that after he poured out his “truth” under the influence of alcohol, the other party wouldn’t comfort him like the other women, but instead, completely ignored him.

He immediately turned around: “Hey! Wait up!”

Slap!

His outstretched hand was suddenly grabbed by another hand.

Qin Long froze.

Not just him, Wen Han also turned around in confusion at the noise behind her.

“Hmm?” It was him? Su Zeheng?

Why is this guy always meddling?

Wen Han suddenly felt that this man was quite nosy and took a keen interest in observing.

“Hmm?” Facing Su Zeheng, Qin Long lifted his head. “Dude? What do you mean?”

Su Zeheng shook his head: “Don’t provoke her.”

“What?” Anger surged in Qin Long’s heart as he shook off Su Zeheng’s hand. “Who are you? What’s your relation to her?”

“I have no relationship with her.” Su Zeheng sighed and leaned closer to Qin Long’s ear. “Don’t get close to her; I’m doing this for your own good.”

“What?” After taking a silent glance at Su Zeheng, Qin Long furrowed his brow in confusion.

Moments later, he suddenly sneered coldly: “F*ck you! I’ll tell you, she’s my woman, so stay away from her!”

“Big brother, you’re so handsome~” Wen Han suddenly smiled, “So manly!”

“Really?” Qin Long laughed heartily and stepped forward, slapping Su Zeheng’s collar. “Did you hear me? Get lost!”

“Big brother, you’re too cool~” Wen Han fanned the flames, “I really like guys with your kind of masculinity!”

For a moment, Qin Long felt even more elated, but suddenly his expression hardened, and he swung a fist at Su Zeheng.

Su Zeheng furrowed his brows and took a step forward.

Bang!

The spectators only saw a flash of white light.

In the next moment, Qin Long was already face down on the ground.

“Oh?” Wen Han looked up in surprise, seeing Su Zeheng extending a hand towards Qin Long.

“Dude, I was just giving you a friendly warning.”

“You, you…” The moment he raised his head and saw the guy who had just effortlessly defeated him, Qin Long stepped back in fright. “Don’t come near!”

“Let me help you up.”

“Get lost!!!”

Wobbly from the alcohol, Qin Long scrambled up and hurriedly fled.

Watching his panicked retreat, Wen Han crossed her arms and smiled, turning to Su Zeheng: “Nice moves, Uncle.”

“I’m not that much older than you!” Su Zeheng helplessly stood up.

“Really? Honestly, just looking at your face makes it seem like you’re pretty immature.” Wen Han giggled, covering her mouth. “Uncle, can I ask why you like to meddle so much?”

Su Zeheng stepped forward: “Miss Wen, at such a great age, I think you should do something meaningful.”

“Pfft!” Wen Han couldn’t hold back and almost laughed out loud. “Uncle, you’re so old-fashioned! Did you time travel from last century?”

“Not old-fashioned, I just think you could be a good…”

“Hmm? A good what?”

Su Zeheng suddenly fell silent, no longer speaking.

After a moment, he smiled slightly: “I heard the bartender, Old Di, say that you often…”

“Oftentimes toy with men?”

“Not that! I meant to say…”

“Uncle, I’m not afraid of what you’re avoiding!” Wen Han rolled her eyes. “First, these men approached me on their own, I’ve never actively pursued anyone; second, people like him…”

She glanced in the direction where Qin Long had left. “Do you think there are few girls who have been manipulated and deceived by him? Since he wants to get close to me… hehehe, anyway, someone as old-fashioned as you definitely wouldn’t understand the fun in that.”

“He… I don’t know.” Su Zeheng shrugged. “That guy might just be asking for trouble, but that has nothing to do with me. I just… never mind.”

After rummaging in his pocket for a moment, he suddenly pulled out a business card.

“This is my business card, maybe we can be friends in the future.”

“Oh, so this is your goal?” Wen Han rolled her eyes. “Uncle, if you wanted my contact info, you could have just said so~ Why go through all the trouble!”

“I… fine.” Su Zeheng shook his head in resignation. “If you need anything, feel free to contact me.”

“No need.”

Wen Han glanced at the business card in front of her.

“I prefer interesting men, not someone as old-fashioned as you.”

“You…”

Watching the enchanting silhouette leave, Su Zeheng silently stowed away the business card, feeling a strange sensation in his heart.

“This little witch… has yet to do how many more ‘bad things.’”

As he pondered while watching Wen Han disappear, Su Zeheng sighed.

The next moment, he seemed to sense something and suddenly squinted: “Oh? After guarding the bar for a few days, he finally showed up.”

…

“This morning, a murder case occurred in the West Entrance District of Star River City. The victim was female, suspected to be related to the previous ‘serial tattoo murders’… We hope that female citizens with tattoos remain cautious and try to…”

The news played on the bus, sounding particularly clear in the silence.

Sitting in the last row of the bus, Wen Han quietly gazed at the images on the news.

But in the next moment, she heard the sound indicating the stop and leisurely stood up from her seat.

“It seems this city is getting crazier.”

After getting off the bus, her figure gradually turned into a blurred shadow under the neon lights.

Meanwhile, a figure standing with hands behind their back beside the bus stop slowly moved out, gazing at her departure from a distance.
