Chapter 25 Catching the Thief

"Pretending to be a boyfriend?"

Wang Yue's eyes widened at the news.

Based on his years of reading novels, he figured it was probably some big sucker being used as a shield.

However, Wang Yue had no intention of refusing.

Firstly, with the system by his side, he wasn't afraid of attracting enmity.

Secondly, it would allow him to owe Qiao Zixuan a favor.

Thirdly, the matter was interesting!

In his previous life, such interesting things never came his way.

So, Wang Yue directly replied:

"wy: Okay."

Qiao Zixuan had intended to say more to persuade Wang Yue, but she hadn't needed to use any of it.

Was it really that simple?

Qiao Zixuan rubbed her eyes, ensuring she wasn't dreaming.

Her mood then became cheerful.

"It seems Wang Yue has good feelings for me too."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed so easily."

"Xiao Xuan: Then it's settled, let's meet at the school gate tomorrow morning at ten!"

"wy: ok."

Wang Yue rubbed his face, thinking that it had only been a few days since he was reborn, and he was already this popular. He felt a little unaccustomed to it.

"quiet: Hey, hey, hey, where are you! Why did you disappear? Don't tell me you fell asleep."

"wy: A bit busy, I won't be going. Find someone else to accompany you."

"quiet: Fine, you rejected me on our first date!! I'll remember this."

"wy: Remember to make a reservation next time, there are too many people asking me out /smirk."

"quiet: Hmph! So what if you're handsome."

"quiet: Then I'll make a reservation for you the day after tomorrow, are you free?"

"wy: Should be."

"quiet: What do you mean 'should be'? Then it's settled, the day after tomorrow."

"Green Pomelo: Hey! I said I wasn't going to talk to you anymore, and you really stopped messaging me?"

"wy: Hehe, I knew you wouldn't be truly angry."

"Green Pomelo: I'm angry."

"wy: Oh~"

"Green Pomelo: I'm really angry!"

"wy: Then do you want a hug, a kiss, and to be lifted high?"

"Green Pomelo: You wish! Shameless."

"Green Pomelo: Unless you promise to go to KTV with me next time."

"wy: When?"

"Green Pomelo: I'll set the time!"

"wy: Then I'll reluctantly agree."

"Green Pomelo: You know what's good for you!"

After finally dealing with these "grand dames," Wang Yue couldn't help but admire those "sea kings" of later generations. How could one person chat with dozens of girls?

After chatting, Wang Yue browsed Taobao for a while, mainly to look at the machines he needed to purchase.

Halfway through, Wang Yue drowsily fell asleep.

When he woke up again, Wang Yue was startled awake by a rustling sound.

Still groggy, he instantly became alert. The sound was coming from the doorway, and he finally remembered why this day felt special.

Because on this day, a thief tried to open his door. Waking up in the middle of the night, Wang Yue was so scared he hid under his covers, not daring to move. He had seen online that some thieves, upon finding the owner awake, would resort to weapons.

Fortunately, the thief didn't manage to open his door in the end, and he only discovered the doorknob was broken the next day when he went out.

"Good heavens, you're unlucky to run into me."

Wang Yue tiptoed out of bed, then quietly opened the door and crept towards the entrance without making a sound.

As he got closer, Wang Yue could hear the sound of keys. The thief was likely trying each key to see if it could unlock the door.

Wang Yue placed his hand on the doorknob. When he heard the lock cylinder being inserted again.

He suddenly yanked the doorknob and pulled back, opening the door.

Then their eyes met, a young man in his early twenties locking eyes with Wang Yue, the air seemingly freezing.

The young man had shifty eyes and didn't look like a good person.

The next second, the thief finally reacted and turned to run.

But his reaction was no match for Wang Yue. Wang Yue lunged forward and grabbed the thief by the collar.

Under the immense force, the thief let out a startled cry and was yanked to the ground.

"Quite bold, aren't you?"

Wang Yue grinned, looking at the thief with amusement.

"You're looking to die?"

The thief's eyes flashed with ferocity. He pulled a dagger from his pocket and lunged at Wang Yue.

"Still want to hurt someone?"

Wang Yue grabbed the thief's wrist and applied force.

"Ah!"

The thief cried out in pain, and the dagger dropped to the ground.

Then Wang Yue delivered a resounding slap to the thief's face.

This slap carried some of the frustration from his past life.

"You like being a thief?"

"You broke someone's doorknob because you couldn't steal?"

"Who spoiled you?"

With every sentence, Wang Yue delivered a slap.

After three slaps, the thief was seeing stars, his face swollen.

"Help me!"

The thief roared, his voice particularly clear in the night.

Then Wang Yue heard footsteps from upstairs and downstairs.

Soon, three other thieves appeared before Wang Yue.

They were all dressed in black, their faces completely covered.

"Let him go if you don't want to die."

One of them, a slightly more robust man, stepped forward, holding a gleaming dagger that glinted under the light.

"Oh, a group effort, eh?"

Wang Yue said with a smile.

"Don't you dare..."

Before the man could finish speaking, Wang Yue suddenly kicked him hard in the stomach.

The kick was powerful, sending the man flying three to four meters away, his dagger clattering to the ground.

Before the other two could react, Wang Yue was upon them, delivering a resounding slap to each of them. In less than five seconds, the other three thieves also fell.

Then Wang Yue shouted at the top of his lungs, "Thieves! Catch the thieves!"

The thieves on the ground turned pale upon hearing Wang Yue's shout. They tried to scramble up and run, but Wang Yue stepped forward and kicked each of them again, rendering them unable to stand.

Soon, lights flickered on in every house, and many people rushed out, armed with various makeshift weapons.

Wang Yue was not surprised by their reactions.

This was an old residential complex with no property management or security guards, so thieves often targeted it. Every household had been visited by thieves to some extent, and they were all deeply disgusted by them.

"Enjoy yourselves, Mr. Thieves."

Wang Yue sneered.

Then he took out his phone and called the police.

"Everyone, settle your scores. I've already called the police, and they'll be here soon!"

Wang Yue said with a smile.

Then, the four thieves met a miserable fate, surrounded by the crowd and beaten severely.

If there were any people everyone hated the most, it would be human traffickers and thieves.

"Damn it, I saw this bastard before! He stole from my house, but he ran so fast I couldn't catch him. I'll beat you to death!"

"Damn it, we finally caught these scumbags."

"Last time, a thousand yuan I had at home was stolen, it made me cry."

When the police arrived, the four thieves were already bruised and battered. However, the police showed no sympathy towards the thieves and directly took them away.

As the person who caught the thieves, Wang Yue once again found himself at the police station.
