34: He left without a trace of his task (Part 1)
"Hahaha!!!"
Finally, Wang Chen really couldn't hold it back; his demonic laughter echoed continuously throughout the empty room.
Under the bewildered gazes of the two women, he reached out and gently pulled them into his arms, lowering his head to plant a tender kiss. After a long while, until the beauties in his arms were breathless and their eyes were hazy with intoxication, he finally let go, still wanting more.
This wave was a total windfall! It made his month of working from dawn to dusk in a mind-numbingly boring undercover life all worth it.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart; after all, the system still needed 24 hours to complete its upgrade. Moreover, he was currently holding two female enemy generals he had just turned, and outside, there was a group of "ambitious youths" dreaming of becoming multimillionaires—it really wasn't the best time to get overly excited.
"Steady, steady. First, I'll finish this play with them," Wang Chen silently cautioned himself, forcing his attention back to reality.
Early the next morning, Wang Chen used the excuse of meeting a local friend to discuss follow-up cooperation details and went to the Law Enforcement Team again.
As soon as Captain Zhang saw him, he greeted him warmly and shook his hand vigorously.
"Mr. Wang! You are truly our lucky star! Your actions have flushed out quite a few big fish. We followed the clues and have already identified all the leaders of this Pyramid scheme organization. They are currently under surveillance, and we're just waiting to close the net!"
Wang Chen smiled and directly stated the purpose of his visit.
"Captain Zhang, I'll transfer the donation I promised you right now."
He took out his phone, made a few taps, and directly transferred 5 million RMB into the Law Enforcement Team's official account.
Upon hearing the female law enforcement officer in charge of donations report that the 5 million had arrived, Captain Zhang and the other officers in the office were filled with deep respect.
Paying millions out of his own pocket to cooperate with the operation and then donating a huge sum afterward—this level of awareness and magnanimity was unparalleled!
"Mr. Wang, this... thank you so much!" Captain Zhang was so moved he didn't know what to say.
"Captain Zhang, don't mention it. Fighting crime is everyone's responsibility," Wang Chen waved his hand and continued. "Also, I won't participate in the upcoming arrest operation. After all, I'm still a core member on the surface, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me to show my face."
Captain Zhang immediately expressed his understanding. "Understood, understood! Don't worry, we'll handle the follow-up work perfectly!"
Wang Chen nodded and made an additional request. "Captain Zhang, I have one more favor to ask. Regarding Jiang Hao, his parents, and He Li and Xiang Tingting who live with me—could you please arrange for someone to give them an in-depth explanation of the true nature of this industry? I'll also cooperate by undergoing ideological education and then being deported to finish the act."
He paused and explained, "I was entrusted by a friend to look after Jiang Hao's family, so I have to lead them back to the right path. As for He Li and Xiang Tingting, they aren't bad at heart, just deceived. I want to give them a hand."
Captain Zhang took a deep look at Wang Chen, his eyes full of admiration. "Mr. Wang, you've thought of everything! No problem, leave it to me! We'll arrange for our most experienced comrades to give them a good lesson! As for the 3.5 million you invested, we will work with the bank to recover it and return it to your account as soon as possible."
"Also," Captain Zhang added, "after this operation ends, we plan to produce an anti-pyramid scheme warning documentary, which might include media interviews. Do you think... you could attend?"
Wang Chen immediately shook his head. "Captain Zhang, forget about the interview. I don't want to show my face, nor do I want anyone to know I was involved in this operation. I'm just an ordinary, enthusiastic citizen who happened to be in the right place at the right time."
He was a man destined to be a tycoon behind the scenes; how could he easily step into the spotlight?
Although Captain Zhang felt it was a pity, he respected his wishes. "Alright, we will definitely keep it a secret!"
Leaving the Law Enforcement Team, Wang Chen felt a sense of relief. The main tasks were basically settled; he just had to wait for the system upgrade to finish and for the Law Enforcement Team to close the net.
Returning to the rented house, as soon as he opened the door, he smelled the enticing aroma of food. On the dining table, a spread of dishes, perfect in color, aroma, and taste, was laid out, making one's mouth water.
Xiang Tingting, wearing an apron, was walking out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup. When she saw Wang Chen, a gentle smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Brother Chen, you're back? Hurry and wash your hands for dinner. Try my cooking today!"
He Li flew over like a little butterfly, took Wang Chen's coat, and said with a grin, "Brother Chen, Tingting's cooking is the best among us sisters. She even thought about opening a small restaurant before! You're in for a treat today!"
Wang Chen looked at the table full of food, then at the two meticulously dressed beauties with shimmering eyes, and felt great. He washed his hands, sat down, and picked up a piece of braised pork. His eyes immediately lit up.
"Mmm! Fatty but not greasy, it melts in your mouth! Tingting, your cooking is amazing! Whoever marries you in the future will truly be blessed by their ancestors!"
Xiang Tingting's cheeks flushed at the praise, and she lowered her head shyly. "I'm glad you like it, Brother Chen."
He Li chimed in from the side, "Then why don't you take Tingting home as your wife, Brother Chen? And take me along too; I'll be responsible for the eating!"
Wang Chen was amused and intentionally pulled a long face. "In your dreams! I'm a man meant for big things! However..." He changed his tone and gave a wicked grin. "I wouldn't mind tasting 'imported food' often."
Saying that, he scooped up a spoonful of steamed egg, blew on it gently, and held it to Xiang Tingting's lips. "Come, Tingting, you've worked hard. Hubby will feed you some 'imported' love steamed egg."
Xiang Tingting gave him a bashful look but still obediently opened her mouth.
Seeing this, He Li refused to be outdone. She picked up a piece of fish, carefully removed the bones, and held it to Wang Chen's lips. "Brother Chen, you try this too. 'Imported' boneless fish, deboned by this beauty herself!"
Wang Chen accepted everyone, eating it in one bite and even licking his lips on purpose. "Mmm, delicious! Li Li's service is top-notch; she deserves praise!"
The meal finished in this flirtatious atmosphere of mutual affection and feeding each other "imported food." The two women's faces remained flushed, and their gazes toward Wang Chen were filled with longing.
After dinner, the two women scrambled to clear the table, while Wang Chen sprawled on the living room sofa like a lord, rubbing his round belly and reflecting that this was the life!
Before long, He Li and Xiang Tingting finished tidying up and sat on either side of him. One peeled fruit for him while the other massaged his shoulders, enjoying the peace and sweetness before the storm.
However, this tranquility was soon shattered by a loud, violent knocking at the door!
"Thump, thump, thump! Thump, thump, thump!"
The sound was loud and urgent, so much so that the door frame could be felt vibrating.
He Li and Xiang Tingting were instantly frozen by the sudden knocking. They were at a loss, their hands stopping mid-action as they looked at Wang Chen in panic.
Wang Chen knew exactly what was happening—it was Captain Zhang and his team. On the surface, however, he feigned a look of confusion and slight nervousness. He patted the backs of the two women's hands and whispered, "Don't panic, I'll go check."
