Manipulative Harem God

Leng Yan couldn't argue with Zhang Wei any further. This man was a genius at reasoning, but she had a gut feeling that something was off. However, she couldn't pry into their personal married life. He was detained for domestic violence, and now, after recording their statements, it was pointless to detain them any longer.

"...Since that Huo Xue planned everything against you, do you want to file a case against her?" Leng Yan asked, with a smirk. If what he was saying was true, he wouldn't hesitate to take legal action.

Leng Yan suspected that he was cheating on his wife with Huo Yue, as men having an affair with their maids was common. But to her surprise, Zhang Wei nodded without a flinch. "Indeed, file a case against her. Make sure to send a notice to her house."

His words triggered Leng Yan's anger. "Don't tell me what to do!"

The game was not going as she had thought. Was this man really innocent? After an hour of grilling, she allowed them to leave.

"Hey," Yu Lei called out to Zhang Wei as they stepped outside.

"I am sorry..." She spoke with sadness in her voice.

Seeing that woman getting aggressive against him, truly angered her. If Leng Yan didn't have a background, Yu Lei wouldn't hesitate to call Lin Ruoxi, the president of the company, for help. She wanted that police officer to suffer!

Huang Kai was ready to drop them off, believing that Zhang Wei was innocent and that there was nothing hidden in his words. Leng Yan, however, looked unconvinced, her face showing reluctance to let him leave. She wanted to question him further, but doing so would go against the code. She found his behavior mysterious and strange, as he seemed a bit too calm.

As they prepared to leave, Zhang Wei insisted on taking a cab to the house, not wanting to linger around Leng Yan any longer. After Yu Lei was seated in the cab, Zhang Wei turned around to get in, but Leng Yan's voice stopped them.

"Wait!" she called out.

"Hmm...?" Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow. "What happened, Officer Leng? By chance, did you fall in love with me and can't bear to part anymore?"

His words elicited no reaction from her, but Yu Lei rolled her eyes and pouted, clearly annoyed with Zhang Wei's antics. It seemed he was purposely trying to provoke Leng Yan.

The latter understood this and did not react to his provocation. "Yu Lei told me that you had a lipstick mark when you came in, but then it wasn't present anymore... What about it?" she questioned him out of the blue.

Zhang Wei narrowed his gaze and dropped the honorifics. "It has nothing to do with our case. Aren't you getting too personal, miss?" he said.

Leng Yan nodded, a victorious smile on her face. Finally, she had found something to expose this man. "You're right. It has nothing to do with me. But what about her?" She pointed to Yu Lei.

Yu Lei stuck her head out of the window and curiously glanced at him, waiting for an answer. Whatever she saw was indeed an illusion. But then, what about the previous times? She had seen similar things multiple times, yet he always avoided answering her. She wasn't doubting him; rather, it was strange for her to have so many illusions.

Zhang Wei felt tongue-tied, and for a moment, his face showed hesitation. "She is ill," he said, briefly checking Yu Lei's reaction.

The latter was confused. "I am ill?" she asked.

"What type of illness does she have that she isn't aware of?" Leng Yan asked, caught off guard.

"She has psychosis. She sees illusions," Zhang Wei replied faintly, pulling out his phone. It carried Yu Lei's medical report, dated 1st March 2022, which was a year ago.

Leng Yan's expression turned ugly, as if she had asked something she shouldn't have. She saw Yu Lei retract her head back and close the windows with an indiscernible expression on her face. However, Leng Yan suddenly remembered Zhang Wei's words and decided to use them against him. "Anyone can fake a medical report, right?"

Since Leng Yan was still doubtful of him, Zhang Wei was helpless. He couldn't help but speak out. "Say, woman, are your eyes made of stones? Can't you see the report is one year old? Why are you so focused on me? You clearly belong to a big family. Why don't you leave this menial work to competent people and go and enjoy your family wealth?"

Leng Yan felt her nostrils flare up in anger at his words. It wasn't the first time someone had mentioned her family background, so she managed to remain quite collected. "You certainly have a sharp tongue. Don't you fear the deputy chief of the public security bureau?" she asked, indicating that she would let him off for now.

Zhang Wei smiled, knowing that he had hit a sore spot. "Why? Are you going to use your authority to threaten me again? Or maybe resort to violence? Let me remind you that it's illegal to hit a civilian, Miss," he said, appearing calm but inwardly shaken. "So, you're not just a police officer, but a deputy of the PSB," he added, reevaluating his opinion of her. "You're not just rich, but very rich and powerful!"

"I can indeed hit you," Leng Yan responded.

"Ah, so you're going to resort to illegal measures now?" Zhang Wei asked.

"Maybe," Leng Yan replied.

"Hmm... So we're going to play dirty. That's quite alright with me, Miss Lady Officer, but have you considered the consequences?" he threatened.

"What consequences?" Leng Yan was amused by his bravado.

Zhang Wei stepped forward until their faces were just inches apart. "Consequences? I don't resort to illegal measures unless the other person is playing fair. But if you're going to play dirty, don't blame me for going all out. I am a man with nothing to lose, but I can guarantee I'll force you to lose everything. I wonder who will come out on top in this fight - the one with everything to lose or the one with nothing in sight? Isn't it intriguing, Ms. Officer? Care to join in and see who emerges victorious at the end of the day?" Leng Yan was left stunned by his words. For the first time in her entire career, someone had dared to openly threaten her.

Meanwhile, Huang Kai was sweating in panic. "'Has this guy lost his mind? Can't he just leave peacefully?' he thought.

After recovering from her daze, Leng Yan moved her legs, attempting to lock Zhang Wei's ankle. However, he managed to twist his legs to the side and avoid her attack. But then, with lightning speed, her legs shifted to another side and struck his other leg. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘰𝑟𝑔

As Zhang Wei fell to the ground, Leng Yan caught his clothes to prevent him from falling backwards and stared into his eyes. "Apparently, I won your little game," she said with a smug smile on her face.

Zhang Wei frowned. Her movements had been too fast and inhumanly precise.

On the other hand, Huang Kai shook his head as if he had expected this outcome.

Finally, Leng Yan pulled Zhang Wei forward and helped him to his feet. This time, it was Zhang Wei who moved. His movements were not inhumane, but much faster than those of an ordinary person. He caught her waist with one hand and grabbed a handful of her fleshy butt with the other. The distance between them was only a few inches, so he easily managed to pull this small trick. "Now we're equal!" he said, then hurriedly left before the woman could recover from her daze.

He didn't want to get beaten by her - Leng Yan's strength had surpassed his imagination. What Zhang Wei had done was a huge gamble, but it showed his intent. If Leng Yan went for a dirty game without rules, he was more than willing to accompany her. He used his actions to prove his words.

'Can't believe that someone dared to tease the tigress,' Huang Kai muttered to himself as he walked away. He knew better than to stick around and witness Leng Yan's reaction.

Meanwhile, Leng Yan was left standing there, processing what had just happened. She couldn't believe that she had let her guard down and allowed Zhang Wei to catch her off guard. It was a new experience for her to be on the receiving end of such behavior.

As she got into her car, Leng Yan couldn't help but smile to herself. She had to admit that Zhang Wei's little act of rebellion had amused her. She had always appreciated a challenge, and it seemed like he was up for it.

But at the same time, Leng Yan knew that she couldn't let her guard down. Zhang Wei was unpredictable, and she didn't know what he was capable of. She had to keep her wits about her and be ready for anything.

As she drove away, Leng Yan couldn't help but think about Zhang Wei's words. He had promised to go all out if she decided to play dirty, and she had a feeling that he meant it. She knew that she was dealing with a formidable opponent, and she was ready to face the challenge head-on.

"I'll be ready for you, Zhang Wei," Leng Yan said to herself as she drove away. "Let's see who comes out on top in this little game of ours."
