Wang Hao could only obediently sit in the passenger seat because he knew that his actions were indeed unjustifiable, not to mention that he had encountered a domineering female cop who was thought to be stern and unbiased.

It wouldn’t be wise to argue with her.

"Can we talk now? What exactly happened yesterday?"

As soon as the car started, Zhou Yingying began interrogating Wang Hao.

"Well..."

Wang Hao hesitated, but since there was no avoiding it face to face, he had no choice but to come clean.

"The thing is like this, remember the first time we met? I hit someone, but before that, I had already made the acquaintance of the Sun brothers in the gambling den..."

Wang Hao then started recounting without holding back, explaining how he met the Sun brothers, how he saved their lives, and finally how he unified the underground forces in Zao City.

However, Wang Hao was clever; he knew what should be said and what shouldn’t. He made sure not to mention a word about the stories involving him and the other women.

After hearing the whole story, Zhou Yingying instantly fell silent, with no indication of what she might be thinking.

Wang Hao, after telling his story, felt a shift in his heart. It seemed that Zhou Yingying was not happy; it appeared that this impartial policewoman couldn’t accept her boyfriend being a mob boss.

But Wang Hao had already reached this point. If Zhou Yingying truly couldn’t accept it, there was nothing he could do. In the end, he would have to respect her choice.

"Are you done talking?"

Zhou Yingying suddenly spoke.

"I’ve had my suspicions for a while. Why is it that shortly after you arrived in Zao City, the Sun brothers managed to take over the city’s underworld? And how did you end up joining the underground boxing matches, earning yourself the honorific title ’Fist God’?"

"It looks like you did all this to help the Sun brothers."

Wang Hao’s eyes suddenly lit up.

"Ying Ying, does that mean you aren’t angry with me?"

"Why should I be angry? I would only be upset because you kept me in the dark all this time!"

Zhou Yingying pouted slightly as she spoke.

"Actually, when Sun Er brought people over to bail you out from the police station that time, I guessed there was a significant connection between you two. But I really didn’t expect that you were actually brothers who shared life-and-death experiences."

"As for those pills of yours, I think you should get them registered with the Drug Administration Bureau as soon as possible. Cheng Yin is truly despicable and shameless, and you need to be careful with him."

Hearing Zhou Yingying say this, Wang Hao’s heart bloomed with joy. Without considering the danger of her driving, he embraced her face and kissed her.

With both hands on the steering wheel, Zhou Yingying couldn’t pull away and had to let Wang Hao have his way. Although she verbally chastised him, she was very happy at heart.

"I will deal with you once we get out of the car!"

Zhou Yingying gave Wang Hao an annoyed glance.

Wang Hao was naturally elated inside. He hadn’t expected Zhou Yingying not to mind at all that he was a mob boss. Even if she was going to ’deal with him’ later, he would take it willingly.

"Do you want to come with me to see Aunt Dong?"

As they were nearing Niwozantan, Zhou Yingying suddenly asked.

"Do you mean Chief Dong? Would it be inappropriate for me to go over in this situation?"

Wang Hao embarrassedly touched his head.

"Let’s forget it then."

Zhou Yingying’s face stiffened, seemingly a bit upset.

"Don’t be like this!"

Wang Hao noticed something was wrong and immediately began to speak smoothly and slickly.

"I was just being a bit reserved just now, is that not okay? After all, I’m a boss now, how could I still be afraid of meeting my mother-in-law?"

Although Zhou Yingying usually couldn’t stand such smooth talkers, she still liked to hear these words coming from Wang Hao.

Because Dong Ayi had become like a mother to her; she owed her for taking her in. Otherwise, she really didn’t know what she would have become.

Moreover, Dong Ayi had offended Wu Jianzhong and his son to take care of Zhou Yingying, resulting in setbacks in her career and life. It could be said that she sacrificed her youth to save Zhou Yingying.

Otherwise, with Dong Ayi’s abilities, she would have been more than just a small-town police station chief.

Before long, they arrived at Dong Ayi’s house, but the gate was tightly closed, which puzzled Zhou Yingying, as they had spoken on the phone before she came back.

And she had confirmed that Dong Ayi was off work today before deciding to return.

"Dong Ayi, are you home? Open up, it’s Ying Ying!"

Zhou Yingying knocked on the door while shouting loudly, but Wang Hao just stood quietly on the side, straightening out his clothes.

Wang Hao usually didn’t pay attention to his appearance, but now at this crucial moment, he realized his clothes were all wrinkled.

However, no one came to open the door after Zhou Yingying knocked for quite a while.

"Ying Ying, you’re back!"

Instead of the station chief, a neighbor who had been disturbed by the noise opened the door and took a peek.

"Granny, didn’t my Dong Ayi take the day off today? Why is there no one at home? Have you seen her?"

Zhou Yingying asked anxiously.

"Yes, Chief Dong was supposed to be at home resting today, but then it seemed something serious happened at the station, and she was called back," replied the old lady.

The elderly neighbor’s memory wasn’t very good. She knew that something had happened in the town lately, but what it was she didn’t know, given her age and little exposure outside.

Zhou Yingying, very anxious, hurriedly drove to the police station.

When the two arrived at the station, they found it surrounded by people, and all off-duty officers had been called back.

"What exactly happened?"

Outside the interrogation room, Zhou Yingying finally saw Dong Ayi and quickly approached her to ask.

"Ah, isn’t it just that in the past few days, a group of people, who knows where they came from, have been swindling around here, causing a significant impact. The higher-ups are taking it very seriously and tasked us with investigating, but..."

Dong Ayi gestured helplessly toward the people inside the room.

"I didn’t expect the personnel involved in this case to be so numerous."

Wang Hao looked around and noticed that most of those arrested were peasants, many of them father and daughter pairs.

In the countryside, women usually support their husbands and teach their children. They seldom venture out and are very timid, even less likely to be involved in illegal activities.

But these women looked calm and collected, standing straight with the nerve to argue with the police.

Among these peasants was one person with delicate skin, clearly not a farmer accustomed to farm work.

Different from the clamorous women, he was sitting quietly, watching everything without any movement.

Wang Hao, curious about this strange scene, asked,

"Dong Ayi, what’s going on here? Why are so many people being brought in for interrogation?"
