Tsundere Campus Goddess and Rogue Master

C17 – Treat a Woman

“Don’t pin this on me. You were the one who made the first move,” Wang Xiao protested with an innocent shrug, a hint of grievance in his tone.

Xue Qing’s anger surged uncontrollably upon hearing the phrase “made the first move.” Her emotions ran wild, and her little pink fist clenched, lunging toward Wang Xiao.

When she heard “made the first move,” a wave of uncontrollable rage surged in Xue Qing’s heart. Her emotions ran wild, her little pink fist clenched, and she charged at Wang Xiao.

“You scoundrel! You shameless rogue! Rot in hell!”

Xue Qing had mastered techniques for women’s self-defense, and her punch packed quite a punch.

Wang Xiao, however, appeared nonchalant. He stood his ground, unperturbed.

“Hmph, you didn’t even bother to dodge. But trust me, I’ll deal with you today!”

Wang Xiao’s lack of evasion only brought a cold smile to Xue Qing’s delicate face. Her little pink fist was closing in on Wang Xiao’s chest.

“Officer Xue Qing, you’ve got quite the punch, but it didn’t even hurt me.”

As her little pink fist was just about to strike Wang Xiao’s chest, he finally moved and caught her hand in mid-air.

In an instant, he held her hand right in front of her, a mischievous grin still playing on his lips.

Her small, snow-white hand was now held and displayed. Seeing the playful smirk on Wang Xiao’s face, Xue Qing’s delicate frame shivered as if jolted by electricity. She had grown up without ever letting a boy touch her hand.

“You scoundrel, let go of my hand this instant, or I’ll make you regret it!”

However, her face quickly flushed with both embarrassment and anger as she spoke to Wang Xiao.

“Fine, I will let go!”

Wang Xiao laughed mischievously and obediently let go of Xuu Xueqing’s hand.

“Bastard, stop right there!”

When her hand was released, Xuu Xueqing’s pretty face was instantly filled with anger. She retracted her small fist and her perfectly straight jade leg kicked towards Wang Xiao’s legs.

“Wow, Officer Xue Qing, you don’t need to play so big!”

Seeing Xuu Xueqing’s action, Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows and exclaimed. His body twisted and he also narrowly dodged Xuu Xueqing’s attack.

“Humph!”

Seeing Wang Xiao dodge her attack, the anger in Xuu Xueqing’s heart became even more intense. Her legs alternated and she kicked at Wang Xiao again.

“Again?”

Seeing Xuu Xueqing’s violent action, Wang Xiao’s brows also raised. He moved to the side and after dodging Xuu Xueqing’s attack, he stretched out his right hand and slapped Xuu Xueqing’s bouncy Fragrant Buttock.

Slap.

A distinct sound suddenly pierced the air.

Xuu Xueqing’s delicate figure froze, her expression filled with disbelief.

The audacity of the entire Stinky Rascal in slapping her there!

“Officer Xue Qing, are you still advancing?”

Wang Xiao’s playful tone echoed. He wore a mischievous grin as he addressed Xuu Xueqing.

“You scoundrel, I’ll make you pay!”

Unbridled fury surged through Xuu Xueqing’s chest. She abandoned all restraint, retrieving a pistol from her waist and disengaging the safety.

Ding Ling…

At this precise moment, Xuu Xueqing’s phone, fastened to her waist, rang. She cast a fleeting glance at it, revealing Director Huo Bao’s incoming call.

“Xue Qing, did you apprehend a young man named Wang Xiao?”

Huo Bao’s voice emanated from the other end of the line, bearing a trace of gravitas.

Xuu Xueqing was taken aback by Chief Huo Bao’s inquiry. How did he get wind of this?

Nonetheless, she provided an honest response, “Yes, Chief Huo Bao. It’s a simple brawl case. Both parties have given their accounts. Wang Xiao claims it was self-defense, but I believe there are some suspicious elements…”

“Nonsense. The matter has been thoroughly investigated. Release him immediately. He will be handled accordingly. Do you understand your role?”

Before Xuu Xueqing could finish her sentence, Director Huo Bao cut her off. He had just received a directive from his superior to release Wang Xiao. He couldn’t afford to let Xuu Xueqing continue her meddling.

Xuu Xueqing’s countenance soured after being scolded by Chief Huo Bao. She turned her head and glared at Wang Xiao, grinding her teeth. “You wretch, you can go now!”

“Uh, you are not going to detain me?”

When Wang Xiao heard this, he couldn’t help but ask.

“Detain your sister. It’s a waste of resources to keep a scoundrel like you!”

Xuu Xueqing angrily yelled at Wang Xiao and then stormed out of the interrogation room.

As Wang Xiao watched Xuu Xueqing leave in a huff, a faint smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. But in an instant, his gaze turned chilly.

Without a doubt, the reason Xuu Xueqing had let him go was connected to that phone call. The caller appeared to be Xuu Xueqing’s superior, but Wang Xiao was unfamiliar with this Director Huo Bao.

Who had stepped in to assist him?

“Brother, you’re incredible. You managed to win over our police flower in such a short time. How did you do it? Can you share some tips with us?”

As soon as Wang Xiao exited the interrogation room, several young male police officers approached him, seeking advice.

They had just witnessed Xuu Xueqing emerge from the interrogation room with a flushed face and not speaking to them. Assuming she was simply bashful, they couldn’t help but admire Wang Xiao.

“Well, there’s really no secret to it. When dealing with women, your words should be as gentle as a spring rain, and your actions as bold and assertive as a storm!”

Wang Xiao cleared his throat and offered this advice to the young male police officers in all seriousness.

“I see. Valuable lesson learned.”

The young male officers nodded in comprehension, their faces reflecting newfound respect for Wang Xiao.

“What were you all discussing?”

Suddenly, a frosty female voice cut through the air.

Xuu Xueqing had returned, her expression icy as she gazed at Wang Xiao and the others. Her tone was sharp as she inquired.

This group of people took advantage of her absence to speak ill of her!

“Cough, I suddenly remembered that I should go out and patrol.”

“Me too, wait for me.”

When those young male police officers saw Xuu Xueqing, they immediately turned around and left like frightened birds, leaving only Wang Xiao alone.

“Haha…”

Wang Xiao could only give Xuu Xueqing a silly smile.

Xuu Xueqing didn’t even look at Wang Xiao and turned around to leave as well.

……

After leaving the police station, it was already noon. Wang Xiao wandered around for a while and was ready to find a place to eat.

Ding Ling…

At this moment, Wang Xiao’s phone rang. It was Tong Waner.

“Waner, what’s wrong?”

After answering the phone, Wang Xiao asked.

“Big Brother Wang Xiao, please hurry! Xiao Qing is about to be taken away,” came Tong Waner’s frantic voice from the other end of the phone. It carried a hint of sorrow that caught Wang Xiao’s attention.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiao’s eyebrows shot up with concern.

Following their recent interactions, he had come to understand that the Xiao Qing Tong Waner mentioned was her closest friend. A delicate young lady, she possessed a quiet demeanor and hailed from a modest background. Her bond with Tong Waner was exceptionally strong.

Though unaware of the specifics, Wang Xiao provided words of comfort to Tong Waner and made his way to her location with haste.

In no time, he reached the ancient residential building Tong Waner had referred to. The building’s worn and aged appearance hinted at the ordinary folks residing within.

“Don’t take my daughter away, please. Just grant me a bit more time. I promise to repay the money I owe you,” a pleading voice echoed.

“Enough of your nonsense. Today, it’s either you settle your debt or your daughter becomes my hostess for the evening!” came a harsh response.

Wang Xiao hadn’t even reached the scene yet, but the commotion from the staircase was already audible. He furrowed his brow and quickened his ascent.

……

Within a three-bedroom suite, chaos reigned supreme. Newspapers were strewn about, and furniture lay toppled, bearing the signs of a rampage.

In the midst of this disarray, a gang of ruffians held sway. Leading them was a crew-cut man, oozing arrogance from his eyes as he mercilessly pummeled the middle-aged man before him. His curses filled the room. “You old man, if you can’t cough up the cash, your daughter can work at my bar to settle the debt!”

A middle-aged woman clung to a timid girl, both sobbing inconsolably. By their side, a striking young woman bore a scowl of anger.

“Brother Gou, we had a deal. You lent us ten thousand yuan for my wife’s treatment. We agreed that Xiao Qing would work to pay it back once she starts college. Now, you’re demanding immediate repayment. Where can we find the money?”

Xiao Qing’s father clung to Brother Gou’s leg, his face bruised and swollen from the beatings, yet his dignity remained unimportant.

“I couldn’t care less. I want the money now.”

Brother Gou, the crew-cut man, snorted coldly, a sneer forming on his lips as he addressed Xiao Qing’s father.

In truth, the ten thousand yuan was not his primary concern. It was when he’d laid eyes on Xiao Qing’s innocent and demure visage a few days ago that sinister intentions had clouded his mind. He’d contrived an excuse to coerce Xiao Qing into working at his bar.

Once he had Xiao Qing within his bar’s confines, the rest would be at his discretion.

With these thoughts, a malevolent gleam flickered within Brother Gou’s eyes.

“You’re clearly pushing us into a corner!”

Infuriated, Xiao Qing’s father retorted against Brother Gou.

“What did you just say, old man?”

Hearing this defiance, Brother Gou’s expression darkened. He lashed out with a kick to Xiao Qing’s father’s abdomen.

Xiao Qing’s father wailed in agony, his cries piercing the air.

“Stop, stop hitting him! I’ll give you the money for Xiao Qing.”

Finally, Tong Waner could bear it no longer. She glared at Brother Gou and spoke with a steely resolve.

“Oh, I didn’t expect to find such a lovely girl here!”

At that moment, Brother Gou finally took notice of Tong Waner. His eyes sparked with malicious delight upon witnessing her striking beauty.

The other gangsters behind him similarly took notice, their eyes alight with greed and lust as they gazed upon Tong Waner.
