Chapter 406: Chapter 405: Thrill
Ever since Peak Group annexed Gangzhe Group and allied with Ouyang Group, everyone around Wang Yan started getting busy.
San was managing the two major groups, and his work was becoming increasingly heavy. Fang, Li, and others assisting San were also so busy that they couldn’t distinguish day from night. Qin Tian, Mountain Cannon, and the others, after the battle with Shi Sanquan, realized their shortcomings and immediately began rigorous training day and night, striving to improve their cultivation.
Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting, who used to cling to Wang Yan, were now preoccupied with discussing what to feed Yan and where to let him stay, leaving Wang Yan somewhat sidelined.
Wang Yan himself found it all a bit amusing, and since the holiday had come, this period became the most leisurely time for him since descending the mountain.
On another note, Ouyang Lieqing frequently visited Peak Group. Initially, Ouyang Lieqing was concerned about San’s management, but after several visits, he started to admire San, whose business tactics were even more astute than his as an old hand in the business world.
So, after a few visits, Ouyang Lieqing completely trusted San but began to subtly inquire about who taught San his business methods.
However, after each inquiry, San would respond simply with two words: “The boss.”
Ouyang Lieqing couldn’t help but be amazed, seeing the Ouyang Group continuously grow under San’s management, and he completely put his mind at ease, even sternly rebuking Ouyang Feiqiang’s repeated demands to reclaim management rights.
Ouyang Lieqing no longer bothered with business matters, which was good news for San, as he at least had no one pointing fingers by his side and could let go and do his job.
However, for Wang Yan, it was a disaster.
Because with nothing to do, Ouyang Lieqing was constantly tailing Wang Yan, expressing his concerns and wishing Wang Yan would accompany Ouyang Feiting on a vacation trip sooner.
Wang Yan grew weary of this but had no solution, so he had no choice but to sneak out of Peak Group to avoid being found by Ouyang Lieqing.
Moreover, Wang Yan went out not only to evade Ouyang Lieqing but also to constantly do good deeds to accumulate merit in hopes of quickly breaking through the High-Tier Demon Master level.
Almost every day, Wang Yan strolled aimlessly around the streets of Wanghai City. Whenever he saw an elderly person crossing the road, he would quickly offer a helping hand; if he saw an elder who had fallen, he would immediately take them to the hospital.
Occasionally, there were a few elders who tried to extort Wang Yan, but under the influence of Wang Yan’s Eye of Bewitchment, these elders would instantly regain their conscience.
However, just performing these simple good deeds made the increase in merit extremely slow, and Wang Yan’s cultivation was merely maintaining at the High-Tier Demon Master level, always a bit away from Great Perfection.
Wang Yan was eager to find some serious violent crimes to stop, but the security in Wanghai City was incredibly good nowadays. Even if there were one or two violent incidents occasionally, they would be quickly intercepted and dealt with by the increasingly powerful Grey Wolf Alliance members, who would capture the perpetrators and hand them over to the police.
Wang Yan couldn’t help but lament; he had indeed brought trouble upon himself, as the Grey Wolf Alliance, which was established because of him, was now taking over his business.
That day, as Wang Yan was wandering aimlessly on the street, he found himself walking through a small alley when suddenly someone blocked his path.
Upon seeing this person, Wang Yan was so startled that he immediately turned to leave.
However, just as Wang Yan turned around, he heard the person shout, “Wang Yan, stop for me.”
Hearing this shout, Wang Yan had no choice but to stop; he turned around slowly, awkwardly smiling, and said, “Ah, it’s Constable Su, long time no see.”
The person before him was indeed Su Yamo.
Su Yamo rushed forward a few steps to Wang Yan and grabbed his wrist, saying, “Are you avoiding me?”
Wang Yan shook his head hurriedly and said, “No, how could I avoid Constable Su?”
In truth, Wang Yan was indeed avoiding Su Yamo.
Several times, Su Yamo had come to Peak Group looking for Wang Yan, but he always snuck out through the back door ahead of time. As a result, Su Yamo had not found him on several occasions.
Wang Yan avoided Su Yamo for several reasons: first, because she was exceedingly brilliant to the point of being completely unreasonable.
Secondly, ever since Su Yamo saw Wang Yan use the Demon Pattern, she had been eager to learn the truth from him, but Wang Yan always managed to dodge her inquiries.
Thirdly, during the incident in the detention room, to prevent Su Yamo from being poisoned, Wang Yan had no choice but to perform “worker’s breath” on her. Since then, he had always felt a particularly fiery look in her eyes whenever she looked at him, which he couldn’t handle.
Thus, Wang Yan had been avoiding Su Yamo all along.
But today, Wang Yan was too focused on doing good deeds on the road to gather merit, so he didn’t notice he had walked right into Su Yamo and got caught by her.
Hearing Wang Yan’s denial of avoiding her, Su Yamo snorted coldly and said, “I don’t care if you’re avoiding me, but now you have to tell me, what’s up with the wolf flying around over your head?”
“What wolf? Constable Su, you must be mistaken.” Wang Yan looked up at the empty space above his head, pretending not to understand what Su Yamo was talking about.
Su Yamo’s expression turned cold, and she said, “Don’t try to fool me; I know everything.”
With that, Su Yamo raised her hand to grab Wang Yan’s clothes.
Wang Yan was shocked and quickly shouted, “Constable Su, what are you doing?”
While tugging at Wang Yan’s clothes, Su Yamo replied, “The tattoo on your back is proof enough.”
Su Yamo attempted to strip Wang Yan’s clothing, and as Wang Yan tried to shake her off, several buttons on the front of his shirt came undone.
Upon seeing Wang Yan’s rugged muscles, like small mountains, Su Yamo was momentarily distracted.
But remembering that the focus was to see Wang Yan’s tattoo, Su Yamo once again reached for his shirt.
Just then, suddenly, two voices called out simultaneously from behind them: “Brother Wang Yan!”
Hearing the calls, Wang Yan and Su Yamo turned to look back.
They saw, not far away, Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting standing there, staring dumbfounded in their direction.
