Chapter 59

Chapter 59

Ultimately, everyone tacitly agreed not to expose Ye Weian.

Even Ye Jia, who had been the most worried about him, silently turned his head away.

Zhou Huaichen snapped back to reality, strode forward, and scooped him up in a bridal carry, saying, "I'll call a doctor right away to check on you."

Held in his arms, Ye Weian showed no resistance and continued to feign weakness: "Mmm, I feel a bit dizzy."

Zhou Huaichen: "..."

Ye Weian rested his head against Zhou Huaichen's chest, feeling quite smug.

—"A Chen probably didn’t see me beating people up, right?"

—"Should I tell him that I won’t resort to domestic violence against him..."

Zhou Huaichen couldn’t help but chuckle. He bent down to press a kiss to Ye Weian’s forehead and whispered in his ear, "I didn’t see anything."

Ye Weian: "..."

He felt it necessary to find some time to talk with A Chen about why A Chen could always guess what he was thinking...

By then, the snow was falling even more heavily, and it was bitterly cold. The group headed back to the mountain villa.

The police handcuffed Sheng Teng and all his subordinates and temporarily brought them back to the villa.

Since the livestream had been abruptly cut off earlier, Ye Weian was worried that viewers might be concerned. As soon as he reached the lounge, he asked the system to go live again. Facing the camera, he said, "I’m fine, everyone, no need to worry... Thank you all for calling the police for me. The officers arrived just in time, and I appreciate their hard work."

Netizens, seeing that he was indoors and unharmed, let out a sigh of relief—

"Finally, an update! The livestream was cut off earlier, and I was so worried."

"Glad you’re not hurt. Thank you, righteous police officers!"

"Am I the only one concerned about whether Sheng Teng, that murderer, will get the death penalty?"

The police officers were in the lounge but remained off-camera. Hearing Ye Weian’s gratitude and seeing netizens praising the police, they couldn’t help but feel speechless.

After all, they had done nothing.

Earlier, when they saw Sheng Teng carrying a gun in the livestream, they had expected a fierce battle, possibly even casualties.

Who would have thought that by the time they arrived, Ye Weian had already single-handedly taken down everyone on Sheng Teng’s side?

In short, all the credit belonged to Ye Weian.

Unaware of Ye Weian’s "heroic deeds," netizens, aside from thanking the police, were busy cursing Sheng Teng.

After all, Sheng Teng had openly admitted to killing his father’s first wife and children, meaning he was responsible for at least three lives. Such a vicious person sent chills down everyone’s spines, and they couldn’t wait for him to be sentenced to death in court.

The system, while reading the netizens’ comments, provided Ye Weian with real-time updates: "Task progress for exposing Sheng Teng: 80%, 81%, 82%... 90%!"

The system: "Progress has stalled. It seems we’ll have to wait until Sheng Teng is imprisoned for the task to be fully completed."

Ye Weian hummed in acknowledgment.

He also looked forward to Sheng Teng and Yan Qing reuniting in prison.

The system clicked its tongue: "What do you think Yan Qing’s reaction will be when he finds out Sheng Teng has been caught?"

Ye Weian: "He’ll probably cry."

The system played a round of applause and displayed two bold red words: "Brilliant!"

Later, Ye Weian gave his statement as required by the police.

With evidence from the surveillance footage on the path and the livestream video, the case was clear-cut, and the police quickly wrapped things up.

He explained that he had woken up immediately after being dragged into the snow. Using his strength, he had broken free from the ropes and secretly started the livestream.

Given that Ye Weian had single-handedly taken down over twenty of Sheng Teng’s men, the police believed his account.

By the time the statement was completed, it was already past midnight.

The police prepared to take Sheng Teng and his group down the mountain.

As Sheng Teng was being led away, he glared sinisterly at Ye Weian and said, "You’re not Ye Weian."

Ye Weian glanced at him and replied calmly, "I am."

Sheng Teng narrowed his eyes but said nothing more.

No one else caught the underlying meaning in their exchange.

Only Zhou Huaichen gazed thoughtfully at Ye Weian before lowering his eyes to conceal his emotions.

After the police and Sheng Teng had left, Zhou Huaichen said to Lu Cong and the others, "You should all rest now. We can discuss anything else tomorrow."

Considering that Ye Weian had been out in the snow for a long time and indeed needed proper rest, the others wished them goodnight.

Ye Jia looked at Ye Weian with concern.

Ye Weian patted his head and said, "Go on."

Soon, only Ye Weian and Zhou Huaichen remained in the lounge.

Ye Weian took Zhou Huaichen’s hand and was about to speak when the system’s startled cry suddenly echoed in his mind.

The system: "Another task has arrived!"

The system: "Expose Shen Ting."

The system: "Expose Gu Yi."

The system: "Expose Ao Rong."

Ye Weian: "..."

The system wondered, "Why three tasks at once? Who are these three?"

The system: "Could they be Yan Qing’s suitors? But the book didn’t mention them..."

Ye Weian: "..."

If these three were indeed Yan Qing’s suitors, it would be an endless cycle—defeat one, and another would take his place, one after another, with no end in sight.

Just how many men were there in Yan Qing’s sea of suitors?!

Ye Weian took a deep breath and said to the system, "Can you pull up info on these three people? We can discuss the details tomorrow."

Tonight, Sheng Teng interrupted his hot spring session with Zhou Huaichen, and he was still feeling frustrated. He had no interest in dealing with Yan Qing's other suitors right now—all he wanted was to continue what had been interrupted with Zhou Huaichen.

Ye Weian looked at Zhou Huaichen and said, "Carry me to the room."

Zhou Huaichen gently touched his face, then carried him back to the room that Lu Cong set up specially for them.

The room was filled with roses, and scented candles were lit on the table, creating a particularly romantic atmosphere.

Ye Weian had originally intended to ask Zhou Huaichen if he could hear his thoughts, but surrounded by such a romantic setting, he put the question out of his mind. Instead, he wrapped his arms around Zhou Huaichen’s neck and said, "We need to finish what we started tonight."

If they delayed any longer, he was afraid he might fall ill from pent-up desire.

Zhou Huaichen had his own questions, but he maintained his usual attitude—he would wait for Ye Weian to willingly share everything with him.

He scooped Ye Weian up into his arms, carried him to the bed, and said softly, "Okay."

The atmosphere in the room grew more and more intimate, and the grape scent coming from Zhou Huaichen grew stronger, like an aphrodisiac that firmly captivated Ye Weian.

Ye Weian leaned in and kissed him.

…

Finally, the two reached completion together.

Ye Weian stroked the man’s abs, reveling in the afterglow, and praised generously, "A Chen, you really are long-lasting."

Zhou Huaichen kissed the tip of his nose: "Are you satisfied?"

"Of course!" Ye Weian lay on top of him, nipping at his lips. "Let’s go again."

Zhou Huaichen’s gaze darkened as he pinned him beneath him.

Just then, the system—which had automatically gone silent during their intimate moments—suddenly emitted a series of robotic announcements.

System: "Face-slapping mission for Yan Qing completed."

System: "Face-slapping mission for Chi Li completed."

System: "Face-slapping mission for Sheng Teng completed."

System: "Face-slapping mission for Shen Ting completed."

System: "Face-slapping mission for Gu Yi completed."

System: "Face-slapping mission for Ao Rong completed."

Ye Weian: "…"

Yan Qing, Chi Li, and Sheng Teng made some sense—after all, he had already started their face-slapping missions. But as for Shen Ting and the other two, he hadn’t even met them. How could they show as completed?

The system continued in its mechanical voice: "Host has successfully completed all missions. Rewards are now being distributed."

System: "The rewards have been sent. Please click to claim."

Ye Weian: "???"

How were the missions completed so easily? And why were the rewards distributed so straightforwardly… What exactly was going on?

Snapped to attention, he grabbed Zhou Huaichen’s wrist and said hoarsely, "A Chen, wait."

Zhou Huaichen, who had been holding his waist, stopped and kissed his cheek: "What’s wrong?"

Ye Weian nuzzled his shoulder and said, "I want some water. Could you get me a glass, please?"

Zhou Huaichen didn’t think twice about it.

Ye Weian had indeed been crying out until he was hoarse, and now his voice sounded raspy.

"Okay," he said, kissing Ye Weian’s forehead before getting up to get water.

Ye Weian took the opportunity to ask the system what was going on.

The system’s mechanical voice shifted to a cute, childlike tone: "Probably because the host and President Zhou went all the way, reaching a state of spiritual and physical harmony, so the missions were fully completed."

Ye Weian: "???"

Why did having sex with Zhou Huaichen complete all the missions?

The system said meekly, "Why don't you take a look at the rewards first. Everything will make sense then."

Its voice actually carried a hint of guilt.

Ye Weian narrowed his eyes and clicked to view the rewards.

Author’s Note: Dear readers, the next chapter will be the final chapter~ (It should be a big, juicy chapter—likely updated tonight or possibly tomorrow~ There will be side stories after that~)

There are reasons for the mission completions, and everything will be explained clearly tomorrow. This was my original plan all along~

Let me secretly hint: some of you may have seen the teaser for my next novel. One protagonist’s name is very similar to Ye Weian… Some readers asked if it’s part of a series, and I didn’t answer—I wanted to keep it a mystery~

Thank you all so much for your support! I’ll keep working hard!
