Chapter 145: The Cunning Zhou Lang

Chapter 145: The Cunning Zhou Lang

Captain Tang Fei was a Tyrannosaurus Policewoman with a fierce personality, so no man dared to hit on her; they could only treat her as the goddess in their hearts and harbor secret crushes.

However, Xiao Keming was different; this guy was not only good at fighting but also had extensive connections and even inside information.

Rumor had it that he was the illegitimate son of Vice Mayor Yan Jialin, which allowed him to navigate both the underworld and the legitimate world with ease.

Since he was an illegitimate son, it was normal that the two did not share the same surname.

Vice Mayor Yan Jialin was a formidable figure in Feiyun City, assisting the mayor in managing transportation, finance, securities, and insurance, as well as overseeing investment promotion efforts.

He was the backer for Chief Wu Kai of the Linwu District Police Sub-bureau and Deputy Minister Jiang Dezhi of the Municipal Organization Department.

Because of the incident involving Zhou Lang, Chief Wu Kai and Deputy Minister Jiang Dezhi had fallen from grace, but Vice Mayor Yan Jialin was extremely cunning and remained unaffected, still holding a high position.

Xiao Keming was wealthy himself, and with Vice Mayor Yan Jialin as his background, he could run wild in Feiyun City.

He dared to hit on women that others didn't dare to touch; in his eyes, there wasn't a woman he couldn't conquer if he set his sights on her.

At the same time, he was a very stubborn person; since Captain Tang Fei didn't think much of him, he vowed to conquer her, play with her, and then kick her to the curb.

This was the reason why Captain Tang Fei switched to another gym after training at the Hurricane Boxing Gym a few times; as long as she went there, Xiao Keming would pester her like a foul fly.

For such a person, Captain Tang Fei could not beat him, and her background and influence were not as strong as his, so apart from politely rejecting his advances, she had no other choice but to hide.

Now that she thought Zhou Lang might have a way to deal with Xiao Keming, she saw hope, so she let Zhou Lang hold her without making a scene.

In her eyes, Zhou Lang was just a playboy, far less detestable than Xiao Keming.

A few minutes later, Zhou Lang and Captain Tang Fei entered a restaurant.

After parking, Zhou Lang unceremoniously put his arm around Captain Tang Fei's slender waist, just as if he were holding his girlfriend, looking very intimate.

"What are you doing?" Captain Tang Fei secretly pushed Zhou Lang and whispered angrily: "Do you really take yourself as my boyfriend? I just need you to help me make Xiao Keming give up."

But Captain Tang Fei couldn't push Zhou Lang away.

"You think others are fools? Since we are acting, we have to make it look real." Zhou Lang laughed.

Captain Tang Fei finally stopped talking and let Zhou Lang hold her as they walked forward.

"This slender waist, it feels really good." Zhou Lang felt the sexy curve of her waist under her thin T-shirt, as well as the delicate and smooth skin, and his heart couldn't help but flutter, thinking how nice it would be if he could hold this slender waist often.

After entering the restaurant, the two ordered a private room and ordered a few dishes and a bottle of red wine.

The food and wine were served quickly, arriving at the table in just a few minutes.

Zhou Lang let the waiter leave, poured two glasses of red wine, and said to Captain Tang Fei: "Honey, let's have a cross-cupped drink to celebrate our one-year anniversary."

"Who is doing a cross-cupped drink with you? And 'honey'? That's sickening." Captain Tang Fei said with slight anger; they were currently acting as a couple, and Zhou Lang was completely in character, while she kept falling out of it.

"Shh!"

Zhou Lang signaled for Captain Tang Fei to be quiet, lowered his voice, and said: "Someone outside is listening to the movement inside, it's probably that guy Xiao Keming eavesdropping. Don't you want to provoke him so he can't stand it and comes to cause me trouble? Then what's a cross-cupped drink? This isn't intense enough."

"Yeah, honey, time flies so fast. It is my greatest honor in this life to know you." Captain Tang Fei finally softened her expression and smiled slightly.

Actually, she wasn't acting very well, and her tone wasn't quite right, because she didn't have experience in this area and was basically mimicking lines from cheesy Korean dramas.

The two moved their seats closer and drank the cross-cupped wine, appearing very intimate.

In fact, at this moment, Xiao Keming hadn't arrived outside the private room to eavesdrop yet; he was still asking the restaurant manager which room Zhou Lang and Captain Tang Fei were eating in.

Zhou Lang was afraid that Captain Tang Fei would ruin the act, which was why he said that in advance.

As soon as the two put down their wine glasses, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Xiao Keming and his flat-topped driver strode in, with the driver even locking the door behind him.

Zhou Lang saw this detail but said nothing.

"Captain Tang Fei, what a coincidence. You are actually eating here? Haha, this is a shop opened by my friend. Why don't we eat together? My treat!"

As soon as Xiao Keming entered the room, he said with a fake smile.

"Boss Xiao, this is my boyfriend. I am having a meal with him, enjoying a private world for two; I am really sorry." Captain Tang Fei's expression changed slightly, but she held back from exploding.

"Oh, he is your boyfriend?"

Xiao Keming examined Zhou Lang with interest and then said: "This counts as a man? I saw you on the way to the restaurant. You were riding a motorcycle carrying him, right? This is even more womanly than a woman. I think you'd better dump such a man; why not follow me instead."

Zhou Lang didn't say a word, continuing to pick up food with his chopsticks. He was watching Xiao Keming perform; in his eyes, Xiao Keming was a typical idiot.

"Boss Xiao, I have long said that it is impossible between you and me. I am eating now, please do not harass me." Captain Tang Fei said angrily, then gave Zhou Lang a look, wanting Zhou Lang to stand up and speak.

But Zhou Lang acted as if he didn't see it and continued to lower his head to eat.

"Captain Tang Fei, I know you are a police officer, even a sub-bureau captain, but hitting on girls is not illegal. You can't arrest me. I am determined to get you. Even if you have a boyfriend, I can still poach you." Seeing that Zhou Lang didn't speak, Xiao Keming thought Zhou Lang was an easy target, so his courage grew, and he even laughed out loud.

"Boss Xiao, it seems you are here for a free meal. Fine, call the waiter to add two sets of bowls and chopsticks; consider it making a friend."

Zhou Lang waited until Xiao Keming finished laughing before saying: "I heard you run a boxing gym. I am also a combat enthusiast. How about we go to your gym to play around after eating?"

"Kid, it seems you want to spar with me? With your scrawny build, you want to learn to duel? I advise you to leave Captain Tang Fei. I am a kind-hearted person; I can give you a sum of money as long as you don't pester Captain Tang Fei in the future."

Xiao Keming sneered.

"Women are like clothes, they don't mean much. Since Boss Xiao likes Captain Tang Fei, just take her away." Zhou Lang laughed: "I don't want your money. I said before that I like combat and want to find a place to receive professional training. If Boss Xiao can give me an annual card or something, I would be very grateful."

Hearing this, Xiao Keming was stunned, and his flat-topped driver was also stunned, because they didn't expect Zhou Lang to be so scared by just a little threat that he really backed out.

What they didn't know was that Zhou Lang was cunning, digging a big pit waiting for them; when the time came, they would be crying.

"This guy is really spineless. It seems Captain Tang Fei is destined to be mine."

After Xiao Keming despised Zhou Lang in his heart, he said: "Brother, you are really reasonable. I have decided to make friends with you. As long as you don't associate with Captain Tang Fei in the future, let alone an annual card at my gym, you can come to train anytime. I can arrange the best coach for you."

This guy started to pretend to be generous in front of Captain Tang Fei. Once he played with her enough, he could naturally kick Zhou Lang to the curb!

"I am Zhou Lang, thank you, Boss Xiao."

Zhou Lang said, the corners of his mouth curling into a fleeting arc. Xiao Keming thought he was a coward, but after finishing the meal and arriving at Xiao Keming's Hurricane Boxing Gym, Xiao Keming would be crying his eyes out.

"Zhou Lang, what do you take me for? I am your girlfriend, do you think I am really just your clothes?" Captain Tang Fei stood up abruptly and scolded Zhou Lang.

Xiao Keming didn't understand why Zhou Lang withdrew directly and dared not compete with him, but Captain Tang Fei was a smart woman; she already knew Zhou Lang's method to deal with Xiao Keming.

Zhou Lang's method might be a bit ruthless, but it should be effective. However, she was still cooperating with Zhou Lang's acting because Xiao Keming was a bottomless guy, and pestering people really gave her a headache; she really wanted to get rid of this pest.

"Captain Tang Fei, Zhou Lang doesn't want you anymore, why are you still making a scene? I have long said that you are destined to be my woman, Xiao Keming's woman, so just accept your fate."

Xiao Keming laughed loudly, feeling very proud.

"Zhou Lang, you jerk, you forced me. There are plenty of men chasing me, and every one of them has better conditions than you. Whoever I am with is better than being with you. From now on, we are finished, and have nothing to do with each other."

Captain Tang Fei cursed angrily and stood up to leave.

Xiao Keming hurriedly chased after her and stopped Captain Tang Fei in the corridor outside the private room.

"What are you doing?" Captain Tang Fei glared at Xiao Keming.

"Captain Tang Fei, why be angry for such a man? He only treats you as clothes, saying he will give you away just like that. But I will treat you as a treasure. You misjudged him before, so just leave that guy and follow me. Following me, you won't be bullied."

Xiao Keming said.

"I'll still be bullied by you." Captain Tang Fei thought to herself, but said: "Xiao Keming, do you really like me?"

"Of course it is real." Xiao Keming swore.

"Then promise me one thing. If you do it, I will be your woman." Captain Tang Fei said: "Take Zhou Lang to your gym later, pretend to arrange a coach for him, teach him a lesson, and break one of his legs. If you can't even do this small thing, don't pester me in the future."

"This is simple. Then don't leave yet, come with us later, and watch with your own eyes how I vent your anger. If I can't even do this well, I will disappear in front of you in the future." Xiao Keming agreed immediately.

"You are in for a surprise later. When the coaches in your gym all lose to Zhou Lang, let's see who goes to your gym to train."

Captain Tang Fei smiled secretly and nodded. Although she had never seen Zhou Lang fight others, Zhou Lang could break steel handcuffs and twist a handgun like a pretzel, so teaching Xiao Keming and his coaches a lesson shouldn't be a problem.

Of course, Captain Tang Fei still seriously underestimated Zhou Lang's combat power. Zhou Lang was a Cultivator. If he really wanted to kill, no matter how many people like Xiao Keming there were, they would not be Zhou Lang's opponents, because the difference in level was simply too great.
