Chapter 38

Seeing Ferren leave the stage, Zeng Man, who had almost been on the verge of tears from anger, stretched her neck to keep an eye on him.

A sister beside her nudged her and teased, "Man Man, what are you looking at? Could it be that you're still looking at the man who just snubbed you?"

Another sister chimed in, "What do you know? This is called 'beating is a sign of affection, scolding is...'

"Love!!" the women said in unison.

Zeng Man's cheeks turned red from the teasing, and she retorted in embarrassment, "Enough, you can't even say a decent word!"

The women paid no heed and burst into laughter, their eyes darting back and forth on Zeng Man's face. Zeng Man had no choice but to turn her head away, trying to ignore them, and continued to watch Ferren's movements.

It was clear that the two gangsters still had a strong presence, as many guests moved out of their way with just a glare, not daring to cause any trouble.

Unfortunately, their presence had no effect on Ferren. He paid no attention to their glares, and with a slight movement of his arm, he pushed the two gangsters aside, forcing himself to approach the heavily made-up woman and said, "Hey, beautiful, it's pretty late. Aren't you going home?"

The woman glared at Ferren, "What's it to you?"

Ferren rubbed his nose, thinking to himself that if he weren't a cop, he wouldn't care what happened to her. But he said, "It seems a few drug dealers are interested in you. Do you have any interest in them?" He pointed to the gangsters who were glaring at him.

The woman looked in the direction he pointed and her face changed. Although she dressed provocatively, it didn't mean she was also forward in bed.

The two gangsters realized Ferren's intention was to take the woman they had their eyes on. One of them turned to grab a bottle, while the other growled, "Punk, where are you from? Keep your eyes open, this place is under South Boss's protection."

The heavily made-up woman had clearly heard of the name, so when she heard "South Boss," she couldn't help but feel a bit scared.

Ferren narrowed his eyes and said, "Hmph, Yan Xingnan's reach is long, extending even to Central. Do you want to be out of business?"

This made the two gangsters' faces change. They weren't actually Yan Xingnan's men, just using his name for protection. Now, facing someone who dared to call South Boss by his name in public, their confidence was shaken, and they didn't dare throw the bottle at Ferren.

Ferren saw this and sneered, "Hand over the drugs you have on you, or you won't leave the bar tonight."

The two gangsters' faces changed again, but they decided to stand their ground, "Boss, even if you know South Boss, you shouldn't touch his goods. If he gets angry, you won't be able to handle it!"

Ferren smirked, "So you do have drugs on you?"

"We do, but we can't give them to you!"

Ferren had been waiting for this answer. He then showed his badge and said with a grin, "See this? I'm a cop. Both of you, get against the wall, or I'll get rough!"

The two gangsters exchanged a glance and immediately ran in opposite directions, shouting, "There's..."

But before they could finish, Ferren stepped forward in a flash, grabbed their heads, and slammed them together.

"Bang!"

The woman heard a bone-chilling collision, and the two gangsters fell to the ground, eyes rolling back, unable to warn their companions. At the same time, Song Kui and others caught the other thugs.

At this moment, applause broke out around Ferren, as someone recognized the KTV king.

"Great job, King of Singing!"

"Who knew the King of Singing is a cop!"

"..."

Seeing the crowd's support, Ferren said, "Please help me witness the search of these two thugs."

"No problem!"

"Sure!"

Ferren then asked, "Who can take a video?"

"I can!" "I can!" ...

A group of people eagerly responded.

Ferren thought for a moment and turned to the woman, "Can you take a video?"

"I can, but I'm not professional," the woman said, a bit embarrassed.

"That's fine! Just make sure to capture everything," Ferren said, handing her his phone and showing her how to use it.

Under the camera and the crowd's witness, Ferren handcuffed the two gangsters, woke them up, and found several packets of ecstasy on them.

Afterward, Song Kui called for backup to handle the aftermath.

After handing over the gangsters and evidence, Ferren said goodbye to Song Kui and Kuang Jiulan and left.

Arriving at his car, Ferren opened the door and got into his Ferrari, only to see Zeng Man standing on the opposite street, seemingly waiting for a ride. Although Ferren didn't want to deal with her, seeing her standing there, looking frail and delicate, he couldn't resist teasing her.

So Ferren turned around at the next intersection, drove up to Zeng Man, and said sarcastically, "Hey, isn't this Doctor Zeng? Can't find a ride? Want me to give you a lift?"

It must be said that Zeng Man's light brown coat and dark straight skirt perfectly showcased her graceful figure. Her long hair flowed over her shoulders, her slightly pale skin, delicate and straight nose, and well-defined lips all gave her a delicate and pitiable appearance. Her usually bright black eyes now had a hazy look, clearly from drinking too much.

But Zeng Man was still thinking. Hearing Ferren's question, her eyes twinkled mischievously, and she said, "Sure!" Without even noticing the car model, she opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.

This time, it was Ferren's turn to be surprised. He had only meant to tease her and leave, but he hadn't expected her to play along so well. After a moment's thought, he had another idea and started the car, heading towards West Ring.

Perhaps Zeng Man was a bit drunk. After getting in the car, she became drowsy, closing her eyes and enjoying the night breeze, not intending to open them again. Ferren didn't plan to ask where she was going, and after getting off Queen's Road and passing through Chai Wan Park, he turned onto Shumai Road, then sped up to the road's limit, driving into Pok Fu Lam Road and heading straight for Stanley.

When they reached the coastal road, Zeng Man opened her eyes, startled by the sound of the waves, and asked, "Where are we?"

Ferren replied coolly, "We're already on Wong Chuk Hang Road."

"What?!" Zeng Man sat up straight, "Why are you driving to the police academy? My home is in Chai Wan!"

"I only said I'd give you a ride, not that I'd take you home!" Ferren sneered, "Want to get out and find a ride now?"

"I, I..." Zeng Man was speechless with anger. Wong Chuk Hang and Chai Wan were almost on opposite sides of the city. It was already past eleven, and even if she could find a ride, the fare would be exorbitant.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it that you don't want to get out. I'll keep driving!" Ferren said with a grin, turning onto Cheung Chau Road.

Zeng Man rolled her eyes, "You're done, driving to South Island this late? Are you crazy?"

Ferren was speechless for a moment, then retorted, "I think you're the one who's crazy. I'm going home, okay?"

"Home? Don't joke. There's no residential area around here..." Zeng Man suddenly paused, looking at Ferren in surprise, "You, you're driving a Ferrari?"

Ferren was speechless, "You just noticed?"

"Could it be that you live in Stanley?" Zeng Man guessed.

Ferren shook his head, "I don't live there!"

Zeng Man took the opportunity to mock him, "I figured. You might have a Ferrari, but you can't afford a mansion in Stanley."

Ferren smiled slyly, "I can afford it, but Stanley is too serious. I don't like the atmosphere, so I bought a house in the neighboring district."

In fact, Xiao Li had also suggested that Ferren buy a house in Stanley to be close to the Li family, but he had refused.

"You mean a mansion in Stanley?!" Zeng Man, still not fully C-cup, touched her chest, a bit stuttering.

"Of course!" Ferren said, "Why else would I drive here this late with a bar girl? To have a wild night by the sea?"

Zeng Man's face turned red, and she bit her lip, pinching his waist.

"Ouch!"

Ferren yelped, "Stop it, I'm driving!"

Zeng Man didn't dare risk her life, so she stopped pinching him but continued to slap his arm, annoyed, "I'll teach you to tease me, to talk nonsense, and to brag about your mansion in Stanley!"

Ferren felt helpless, but Zeng Man's slaps were no stronger than a mosquito's, so he let her. When the Ferrari finally turned into the courtyard of No. 86 Stanley, Zeng Man was stunned, "This, you, this..."

"Click!"

The automatic metal gate closed behind them. Ferren said, "Stop stammering. Get out of the car. You can stay at my place tonight. If you don't want to, you can walk back!"

With that, he ignored Zeng Man, pulled out the car key, and walked towards the villa's main door.

Two Japanese maids had been waiting at the door. Seeing Ferren, they greeted him in standard Mandarin, "Master, you're back. Thank you for your hard work!"

Ferren pointed to Zeng Man and instructed, "Prepare two late-night snacks and turn on the massage bath downstairs. This lady will be staying here tonight."

The maids bowed and hurried off.

Perhaps due to some rebellious nature, Ferren didn't like the Gothic style his predecessor favored, so the villa's interior was decorated in a fresh and simple style, making it pleasant and not at all heavy or oppressive.

When Zeng Man entered, she was pleasantly surprised and remarked, "I didn't expect you to have such good taste!"

"Is that a compliment?" Ferren teased.

"Pfft, what are you complimenting? This house is probably just a short-term rental for you." Zeng Man was either being stubborn or deliberately trying to provoke him.

"Whatever you think!" Ferren didn't bother to argue and headed straight to the gym.
