"What are you going to do?" Seeing Wang Shen’s move, a trace of panic flashed across Wu Qiaoyun’s face.

She had already guessed something.

With a lewd grin, Wang Shen said, "What do you think I’m going to do? Don’t you just want to take that trophy back? I can give it to you! As long as you serve me well, don’t mention the trophy, you can carry the whole podium back if you want!"

"No!" Wu Qiaoyun shook her head hard and backed away. "I don’t want it! Give it to someone else! Don’t come over here, or I’ll call the cops!"

"Call the cops? Go on, call! Even if you call the cops, I’ll just say you forced me to have sex with you, tried to use me to get the championship. The others can all testify!" Wang Shen wore a wicked smile.

Wu Qiaoyun felt despair.

She wanted to run, but Wang Shen kept blocking her path, leaving her nowhere to go.

Wang Shen stepped toward Wu Qiaoyun one step at a time.

Wu Qiaoyun’s sexiness, her maturity, her allure—every bit of it was like poison drawing Wang Shen in. He craved a woman like this, because just seeing Wu Qiaoyun already made him excited.

"Don’t come here, my friend will be here any minute. If you dare touch me, he will definitely not let you off!" Wu Qiaoyun said in panic.

"Won’t let me off?" Wang Shen let out a cold laugh. "Not to brag, but in all of Ancheng, there really isn’t anyone who dares to do anything to me! Who is your friend? Let him come. If he can lay a finger on me..."

"Then what?" A cold voice suddenly rang out in the room.

The voice was bone-chillingly cold, making both of them shudder all over in fright.

"Who’s there!" Startled, Wang Shen whipped his head around.

He saw a man in a black T-shirt, his face cold and stern, his eyes like icy blades fixed on him.

In that instant, Wang Shen felt like he’d been locked onto by the Death God. Sweat soaked his clothes, plastering them to his back, cold like an iron plate.

"Y-you, who are you?" Wang Shen was a little nervous.

After all, his people were all guarding outside. How did this man get in?

"Yang Chen!" Seeing Yang Chen, Wu Qiaoyun let out a cry of surprise. It was like she’d seen a savior, and she ran toward him.

Yang Chen glanced at Wu Qiaoyun, his gaze pausing for a moment on the five finger marks on her face. He frowned slightly and motioned for her to stand behind him.

"I said, if he lays a hand on you, then what?" Yang Chen looked at Wang Shen and said calmly.

Wang Shen took a step back, eyeing Yang Chen warily, and said in a deep voice, "If you dare touch me, I’ll make sure you die a miserable death!"

"Is that so?" Yang Chen laughed, a very cold laugh. "Very good."

Suddenly, the smile on Yang Chen’s face vanished, replaced by a powerful aura of killing intent.

Frightened by that killing intent, Wang Shen’s heart trembled. He shrieked, "Somebody help! Help!"

Even Yang Chen was taken aback by Wang Shen’s act; he hadn’t expected Wang Shen to be this shameless.

The people outside heard the commotion and immediately pushed the door open, seeing Yang Chen and Wu Qiaoyun standing together.

When Chen Lanzhi saw this, her expression changed abruptly. "Yang Chen! Why are you here?"

"Where else would I be?" Yang Chen gave Chen Lanzhi a glance and said coolly.

When Wu Qiaoyun had called him, she’d already explained the situation, so Yang Chen had no intention of being polite to Chen Lanzhi.

Chen Lanzhi really hadn’t expected Yang Chen to come; her face looked somewhat ugly.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Lanzhi said, "Yang Chen, I advise you not to mess around. This is the president of the Science and Technology Association and the person in charge of this competition’s organizing committee. If you offend him, Ancheng University won’t get the trophy, and Wu Qiaoyun can forget about wrapping this up properly!"

"So what?" Yang Chen stared coldly at Chen Lanzhi.

"If we can’t bring the championship back, Wu Qiaoyun won’t be able to get a permanent position!" Chen Lanzhi threw out what she thought was her biggest trump card.

Yang Chen sneered and fixed his eyes on Chen Lanzhi. "Why does she have to get a permanent position?"

Wu Qiaoyun couldn’t hold back either. She glared angrily at Chen Lanzhi and said, "What does my getting a permanent position have to do with you? I’ve been at Ancheng University for years—haven’t I still managed to live without being permanent? If I don’t get a permanent position I’ll just drop dead, is that it? And to think I kept calling you Sister Lanzhi, that’s disgusting! Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to!"

Having her intentions laid bare, Chen Lanzhi was a bit enraged out of embarrassment. "Fine, so my kindness is dog meat to you, huh! Then I’m done caring, okay? Don’t come crying later!"

"Regret?" Yang Chen let out a cold laugh, because he knew very clearly that the ones who would regret it today would absolutely not be them.

At this moment, the hotel security guards came running over in a big group, surrounding Yang Chen and Wu Qiaoyun.

"It’s those two. They not only disturbed us while we were eating, they also tried to hit people!" One of Wang Shen’s buddies pointed at Yang Chen and Wu Qiaoyun.

"What nonsense are you spouting! It was clearly Wang Shen harassing me! We didn’t even touch him!" Wu Qiaoyun immediately shouted in anger.

"Shut up!" Wang Shen barked, "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning—you want to make me pay you money, right? You want me to help you get the championship, is that it? I’m telling you, impossible! I, Wang Shen, am iron-faced and selfless. No matter what you do to me, I won’t change the competition results for my own selfish desires!"

Hearing such shameless words, Wu Qiaoyun was so furious her whole body was trembling.

"So you’re turning black into white?" Yang Chen’s eyes grew colder.

"Hurry up and take them away! Don’t let them bother us while we’re eating!" Wang Shen waved his hand like he was shooing flies, looking extremely impatient.

The security guards understood and immediately moved to drive the two of them out.

Nervously, Wu Qiaoyun clutched the corner of Yang Chen’s shirt, looking pitiful and helpless.

Yang Chen didn’t move an inch. He stared at the guards and said, "This isn’t something you can handle. Go call your manager."

"Calling whoever won’t help! Get the hell out!" Wang Shen cursed.

But with trouble breaking out here, there was no way the manager wouldn’t know. He’d already hurried over.

The manager was a very capable-looking middle-aged man. After asking about the situation and thinking for a bit, he said to Yang Chen, "Sir, I hope you won’t cause any more trouble in our hotel. Please leave immediately."

After weighing both sides’ identities and status, the hotel manager had clearly chosen to stand with Wang Shen.

Hearing this, Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh. "Very good. With things this obvious, you’re sure you want to stand on their side?"

"Sir!" The manager’s face darkened and he said sternly, "The truth is very clear. Stop making a scene here! Please leave at once, or don’t blame us for being rude!"

As he spoke, the manager gave the guards a look, and they immediately closed in, ready to move.

Seeing this, Yang Chen let out a cold laugh, pulled out his phone, and dialed Meng Po. "I’m at a hotel right now. I’m giving you five minutes. I want this hotel. Immediately."
