Chapter 96: Putting the Obnoxious Rich Guy in His Place (2/2)

“You’re joking! Why should I be afraid of you?” Ye Shiwen lit up a cigarette and was about to smoke.

I interrupted him, “Can you smoke outside, please? There are two girls here?”

Ye Shiwen groaned, stood up and went out.

Zhang Yan urged me to observe her. She was emitting a pungent smell of perfume. I didn’t want to talk to her at all. However, in order to help Dali, I gritted my teeth and played along with her. After listening to me, she started calling me a ‘Great Detective.’

After that, Dali chatted with Xia Mengmeng for a while. Xia Mengmeng was a very silent girl. When others talked to her, she listened politely. I was watching her on the side, and felt that she was a quiet girl who put a barrier around herself from others. Did Dali have a chance with a girl like that? I didn’t know, and I had done all I could.

At about nine o’clock, Dali proposed to go to a karaoke place. There was a reason for that—he was amazing at imitating Jay Chou. It was his biggest strength. But, alas, Xia Mengmeng refused, “It’s too late. Let’s do that some other time.”

Zhang Yan was enthusiastic, though.

“Come on, Mengmeng! It’ll be fun! I haven’t sung karaoke in a long time!”

Ye Shiwen had just been attacked by me, so he didn’t say anything. I wondered if Zhang Yan seemed to be a bit interested in me.

Then Ye Shiwen suddenly said, “The karaoke places near the college are all lousy. It’s better to go to one in the city. I have a car. I can drive all of you there!”

Zhang Yan’s eyes lit up. “Wow, you have a car?”

“So are we going or not?” asked Ye Shiwen.

“Yes, yes!” Zhang Yan nodded. “Come on, Mengmeng! Let’s go!”

And so the matter of going to sing karaoke was settled. I had a feeling that Ye Shiwen and Zhang Yan were suitable for each other. One had a huge ego, and the other liked to boost his ego.

Xia Mengmeng reluctantly agreed. I naturally had to go too. We all went into Ye Shiwen’s car, which was a BMW. It seemed that his stepfather was very rich.

In order to give Dali a great opportunity, I took the initiative to grab the front passenger seat so that they could sit in the back. Ye Shiwen gave me a look, and deliberately smoked in front of me along the way. The sacrifice I made tonight was really too big!

On the way, Ye Shiwen whispered to me, “Why are you out here with us if you’ve already got a girlfriend?”

“I just felt like singing karaoke. Is that so strange?”

Ye Shiwen snorted. “Don’t think that Dali is the only one who can ask for help. Do you know what kind of friends I have? Some own nightclubs, and some sell ecstasy pills. Who are you compared to them?”

“Well, if I call my friends, they’d round your friends up and throw them in jail.”

I smiled faintly at him.

Ye Shiwen laughed. “Can you brag about something more believable? You think I would believe that a student like you know the police?”

“Doesn’t matter if you believe it or not, because it’s true.”

“Sure!” Ye Shiwen jeered sarcastically.

“I really do know the police.”

“If you do, I will call you ‘father!’”

“Deal!” I readily agreed.

Ye Shiwen’s face suddenly changed. He was afraid that I really knew one or two policemen. He added, “Those low-ranking officers and the traffic police don’t count though!”

“Don’t worry, all the police officers I know are from the criminal division.”

Ye Shiwen burst out in laughter again. “That’s just bullshit!”

Of course, this was what I said, but I was not going to call Huang Xiaotao just to settle a bet with an obnoxious rich guy I just met. But what I never expected was that I actually saw her that night...
