Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

However, Shen Yuexin was not scared; instead, she felt a tiny bit excited.

This feeling was just like knocking down an opponent in the business arena, totally exhilarating!

"Brother, I was wrong... please forgive me..."

The young guy was thoroughly convinced and thought that if he didn't beg for mercy now, this man might actually beat him to death!

"Didn't you want to kill me?"

Ye Ling stomped fiercely again on the young man's face.

Just as Yue Xin's appetite had returned, these fools had interrupted it, and there was nothing Ye Ling hated more than people like that.

"I was joking! Don't take it to heart, big brother, please let me go, just treat me like a fart and let it pass..."

The young guy was bawling for his parents, feeling like his face was about to be crushed.

"Forget it."

Yue Xin said indifferently, "You can't really kill this guy, just let him go and stop being an eyesore here."

It was only then that Ye Ling sneered and removed his foot.

"Get lost!"

Without another word, the young guy scrambled to his feet and ran out with the other three.

"You damn wait for me!"

After running a good distance away, the young guy covered his face and shouted towards Ye Ling, "Motherf*cker, I'll show you, don't you dare leave, I swear I'll find someone to kill you today!"

"Fine, if you don't bring people over, you're my grandson!" Ye Ling also shouted back.

Yue Xin shook her head helplessly and said, "Let's go. It's pointless to argue with this kind of person."

Ye Ling sighed and asked, "Did you eat enough?"

"I didn't eat enough, but I don't feel like eating anymore."

"These flies are everywhere, don't take it to heart," Ye Ling said.

"I'm used to it."

Yue Xin waved to the owner and asked, "Boss, how much is it in total?"

The owner had just witnessed Ye Ling's methods and didn't dare to accept any payment.

Being able to send this lady and gentleman on their way was a relief; if he let them stay any longer, his shop might suffer once that young guy came back with help!

"Never mind, consider this meal my treat," the owner said.

"How can that be? It's not easy for you either."

Looking around at the mess, Yue Xin took out 300 yuan and placed it on the table.

Considering the cost of the meal and the chairs, 300 yuan should be enough.

After leaving the food stall, Yue Xin said, "I need to go back to handle some things, so I'll be going first. See you."

"Yeah."

Ye Ling nodded, realizing that after spending time with Shen Yuexin, she wasn't as cold as she seemed.

It appeared that the cold demeanor of women in the workplace, especially beautiful women like Shen Yuexin, was often an act.

It was a necessary facade; as a disadvantaged group, women had to adopt a cold exterior in the cutthroat business world to avoid being bullied.

After Shen Yuexin left, Ye Ling thought for a moment and called Ning Yushan.

That girl actually didn't pick up!

The corners of Ye Ling's mouth curled, knowing full well what Ning Yushan must be thinking—she was probably too embarrassed to answer, right?

After some thought, Ye Ling sent Ning Yushan a text message: "Take the opportunity to call me back while I am still available today; otherwise, when the symptoms reoccur, don't come looking for me."

Soon, Ning Yushan's call came through.

"Sorry, I...I was catching a thief just now," Ning Yushan stammered.

Ye Ling immediately laughed, "You know what Pinocchio is, right?"

Ning Yushan was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean?"

"When people like Pinocchio lie, they stammer."

Ning Yushan: "..."

...

Hailing a taxi, Ye Ling once again visited Ning Yushan's home.

This time, he took the time to really look around.

The apartment was about 100 square meters, a two-bedroom and one-living room setup, not extravagantly decorated but very cozy, clearly a girl's abode.

The living room couch was adorned with several fluffy teddy bears, and the walls were covered with photographs, mostly of children.

"Are these all your kids?" Ye Ling joked.

Ning Yushan rolled her eyes instantly: "Do I look like a pig? That I could birth so many?"

"Haha, just kidding. These kids must be from impoverished mountain areas, right? I didn't expect it, but our Officer Ning, you really have a kind heart. You're not suited to be a cop," Ye Ling said.

"It's because I am kind-hearted that I choose to be a cop, to punish evil and promote good!" Ning Yushan waved her little fist in the air.

"You say you have a reason."

Ye Ling shook his head and said, "Strip?"

Ning Yushan's cheeks immediately blushed, as she hesitantly sat on the couch, her hands on her clothes, too shy to undress.

"So you've forgotten the pain once the wound has healed?"

Ye Ling stepped forward and said, "If you're too embarrassed, let me do it for you."

Saying this, he didn't wait to see if Ning Yushan resisted and started to undress her out of her police uniform.

Ning Yushan hung her head, a picture of shyness.

This was different from last night.

Last night, Ye Ling had forcibly undressed her while binding her.

But today, Ning Yushan's hands just lay there, not knowing where to put them.

It was a matter of psychology.

Ning Yushan's face grew redder.

Her heart thumped wildly, like a startled little rabbit.

But inadvertently, Ning Yushan caught a glimpse of Ye Ling's profile.

The already handsome face was focused intently, those typically unserious eyes now clear and pure.

For a moment, Ning Yushan was mesmerized.

She had always thought that, although Ye Ling was treating her, this big pervert would surely harbor ill intentions even during the treatment, right?

But those clear eyes seemed to show he had no such thoughts about her at the moment.

It seemed... he wasn't the person she had thought he was.

"Just to be clear, I am a man, so if there's anything inappropriate, I hope you can bear with it."

"But even if you can't, it doesn't matter, the treatment must go on," Ye Ling stated seriously, loosening his arms.

Yes, very serious.
