Chapter 0064: Pretending to Be a Couple

Zhang Xiaofan remained silent, perhaps because Feng Qingyang was still unaware of Leng Lishang's true strength—after all, Feng Qingyang lacked the authority to access Leng Lishang's information in the Dragon Soul system.

Then, Chen Guoping discussed the specific deployment plans with Feng Qingyang. The two were already old acquaintances; in Jinghai City, Feng Qingyang had helped Chen Guoping resolve numerous thorny issues. After all, in this society, some people possess abilities that are beyond the reach of ordinary folk.

“Grandpa, I’m here,” came a melodious voice, and soon a beautiful policewoman appeared before Zhang Xiaofan—it was none other than Chen Yuanyuan, whom he had encountered earlier that afternoon. He hadn't expected that the officer assigned to play his girlfriend would turn out to be her.

“Xiaofan, let me introduce my granddaughter, Chen Yuanyuan—she’ll be your partner tonight,” Chen Guoping said.

“We’ve already met,” Zhang Xiaofan replied with a smile, then turned to the surprised Chen Yuanyuan. “Fate seems to have brought us together.”

At that moment, Chen Yuanyuan suddenly felt a sharp pain and instinctively clutched her left side, her expression contorted in agony.

“All right, Chen, enough already,” Chen Yuanyuan said irritably.

“Hey now, I outrank you by quite a bit—what’s wrong with calling you ‘Little Chen’?” Zhang Xiaofan teased. “Is that any way to speak to your superior?”

“You act like you’re something special, kid,” Chen Yuanyuan retorted contemptuously.

“How long have you been a police officer, Little Chen?” Zhang Xiaofan asked casually as they entered the city highway.

He murmured softly and started the engine. “Let’s go.”

“Heh, you’re both beautiful,” Zhang Xiaofan said with a grin, only to realize his words were inappropriate, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment.

Without thinking, he added, “Are you saying I wasn’t pretty before?”

Chen Yuanyuan felt a surge of happiness in her heart—strange as it was, being complimented by this rascal felt unexpectedly good. But what did that mean, was she not beautiful before?

Zhang Xiaofan gazed at her, lost in thought. “You’re truly stunning.”

Dressed in a white dress, she looked like a fairy descended from the heavens.

Soon, Zhang Xiaofan finished with the needles. Looking at Chen Yuanyuan, she seemed like a different person—he had somehow corrected her imperfections, making her even more beautiful than before. What kind of man was he, really? Chen Yuanyuan pondered in her heart.

Yet at this moment, she saw a purity in Zhang Xiaofan’s eyes, an allure that was hard to resist.

“Don’t move…” As Chen Yuanyuan tried to retreat, Zhang Xiaofan produced a silver needle, startling her into a statuesque stillness. If he jabbed the wrong spot and ruined her face, how would she ever live with it?

“That’s… for the mission,” Chen Yuanyuan replied, speechless.

“Take a look—you just kissed me a moment ago,” Zhang Xiaofan said.

“No peeking.” Zhang Xiaofan’s eyes, naturally, didn’t escape Chen Yuanyuan’s notice, and she scolded him playfully.

Good taste, Zhang Xiaofan thought inwardly.

With that movement, the deep V of her dress revealed a snowy expanse, comparable in size to Lin Siyu’s… a pale pink, ultra-thin bra.

In response, Chen Yuanyuan shifted slightly, bracing herself against the seat and bringing her face close to Zhang Xiaofan’s.

“All right, but if any suspects slip through, I’ll hold you responsible,” Zhang Xiaofan said, looking closely at Chen Yuanyuan’s face. “Come, lean in.”

“Give me the same treatment,” Chen Yuanyuan requested.

“Of course—do you know who I am? If I were ordinary, your grandfather wouldn’t treat me so politely,” Zhang Xiaofan said smugly.

“You really have such skills…” Chen Yuanyuan was astonished, her curiosity piqued.

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaofan took out his silver needles, and using the car’s mirror, expertly pierced several points on his face. Gradually, his features transformed; in moments, he looked like a completely different person, though still handsome.

“Hold on, I need to put on some makeup.”

Chen Yuanyuan spoke sweetly, feigning affection despite her conscience, but she played the role so convincingly that Zhang Xiaofan felt a tingle in his heart.

“Darling, drive already,” she said.

So!

She realized the more she cared and felt shy, the more energized he became!

But for the sake of the mission, she didn’t mind, telling herself this was her duty.

Chen Yuanyuan was speechless—her opinion of him had just improved, only for him to revert to his incorrigible, lecherous ways.

“Heh, Chen, the great beauty, give me a ‘darling’,” Zhang Xiaofan said cheerfully, flashing his trademark gleaming smile.

In the Cayenne, Chen Yuanyuan sat in the passenger seat, fastened her seatbelt, and crossed her legs slightly, exposing her fair skin beneath the dress.

Zhang Xiaofan nodded, then turned to Chen Yuanyuan. “Let’s go.”

“Relax, I know how formidable those people are, but you two must be cautious,” Chen Guoping advised.

“Then let’s head out,” Zhang Xiaofan said, facing Chen Guoping. “Old Chen, remember—don’t act unless I give the signal.”

Zhang Xiaofan hesitated, finally shifting his gaze away from Chen Yuanyuan’s neckline.

“Uh… all right.”

“I’m ready, let’s go,” Chen Yuanyuan said softly as she approached Zhang Xiaofan.

In terms of beauty and temperament, she was no less than Lin Siyu.

At that moment, Chen Yuanyuan resembled a snow-white princess—more alluring and feminine than when she wore her police uniform.

Zhang Xiaofan nearly didn’t recognize her—she seemed like a completely different person. Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, and a tasteful platinum necklace adorned her slender, fair neck.

Soon, a woman in a white dress appeared, her flawless skin highlighted, a deep cleavage revealed by the V-neck. The dress wasn’t from a major brand, yet it radiated elegance.

“Thank you for the reminder, Old Chen,” Zhang Xiaofan nodded, waiting for Chen Yuanyuan to arrive, while Chen Guoping continued to arrange the evening’s operation.

This way, there was no fear of being recognized as soon as they arrived.

Fortunately, the Ghost Hand Divine Needle technique included a method to alter facial muscles, achieving a disguise effect.

But everything was set—calling off the operation was not an option.

If he tried to infiltrate now, it would be pointless and would only increase his own risks.

It meant those people had begun to pay attention to him and already knew his appearance.

Listening, Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback. If this was true, it meant they already knew he had killed the Poison Hand Medicine King.

“This afternoon, at the site of your accident, a Bentley remained parked until you left. The occupants were likely those people,” Chen Guoping said.

“Please continue, Old Chen,” Zhang Xiaofan replied.

“Mr. Zhang, I have something else to tell you,” Chen Guoping said seriously.

“Mm…” Chen Yuanyuan nodded and walked out.

Zhang Xiaofan paused, then said, “More or less. Go change clothes, we’ll leave soon.”

Uh…

“How about now, is it acceptable?” Chen Yuanyuan looked at Zhang Xiaofan with her large, watery eyes, then gently withdrew, her cheeks flushed.

The entire process felt completely natural, as if they weren’t acting but truly living the moment.

She gently wrapped her arms around Zhang Xiaofan’s neck, her pink lips slowly approaching his.

After calming herself, Chen Yuanyuan’s beautiful eyes gradually revealed deep affection, as if she were gazing at her beloved.

Looking at his handsome face, those star-like, deep eyes, the barriers in her heart seemed to dissolve.

The moment Zhang Xiaofan embraced her, Chen Yuanyuan trembled, a strange sensation rising within her.

Zhang Xiaofan slipped an arm around her slender waist. “Hold my neck, look at me with affection—you don’t look convincing at all.”

Chen Yuanyuan nervously fiddled with the hem of her police uniform, finally making up her mind. She lifted her foot, and her soft red lips gently pressed against Zhang Xiaofan’s cheek.

Hearing his words and seeing his expression, Chen Yuanyuan’s impression of him changed completely in that instant—was this really that shameless little rascal?

“From the moment I entered, the mission began; when you agreed, the mission started. If you can’t do it, we’ll have to replace you,” Zhang Xiaofan said clearly, his words full of righteous energy, with not a trace of roguishness.

“But… it’s not mission time right now,” Chen Yuanyuan protested, struggling with the idea of kissing this rascal in front of so many people.

“Fine, just kiss me now,” Zhang Xiaofan said directly.

Chen Yuanyuan raised her voice, “As long as it’s for the mission, I’ll do whatever it takes.”

“No, I can do it!”

Zhang Xiaofan then addressed Chen Guoping, seriously, “Director Chen, please assign someone else—I don’t want any slip-ups.”

“So, you can’t accept this,” he said.

Raised to serve the nation and protect the people, Chen Guoping had already explained the importance of this mission to her.

And she didn’t want to abandon it.

Chen Yuanyuan hesitated; she had no doubt Zhang Xiaofan might use this as an excuse to take advantage of her, yet his reasoning was sound.

“I…”

“All right, since we’re pretending to be a couple, naturally there’ll be intimate gestures—otherwise, people will be suspicious. Can you accept that?” Zhang Xiaofan looked at Chen Yuanyuan with solemnity.

“I can,” Chen Yuanyuan replied earnestly. Though she struggled to believe it, she had to accept the reality.

Zhang Xiaofan nodded and said, “Let me warn you in advance—if you can’t control your emotions, say so early and we’ll replace you.”

“Heh, since you already know each other, work well together tonight,” Chen Guoping said.

“You’re talking about me,” Zhang Xiaofan replied with a smile.

“It’s you…” Chen Yuanyuan was genuinely surprised—she never imagined her partner for the evening would be the shameless scoundrel she’d met that afternoon.
