Chapter 33

The pervert hadn't even kicked yet, but Zhang Qiu had already sensed it. Zhang Qiu was now a quasi-national level martial arts expert; while he might not be able to take on a hundred, he could certainly handle dozens. With his provincial-level insight, he could detect others' intentions before they made a move, allowing him to prepare in advance.

This scrawny pervert was clearly no match. Although he was tall, in the face of absolute strength, his height was a disadvantage, making him an easier target.

As the pervert kicked fiercely towards Zhang Qiu's waist, Zhang Qiu had already sensed it. He responded with a faster kick, striking the pervert's knee and immediately knocking him to his knees.

At this moment, Zhang Qiu pretended to lose his balance and fell into He Qing's arms.

Suddenly, he was enveloped in a soft, fragrant embrace, feeling incredibly happy. Without even looking, Zhang Qiu took advantage of this "loss of balance" to bury his head in He Qing's soft bosom.

"Holding He Qing for over 30 seconds and touching more than two sensitive areas, you have completed the main mission (Acquaintance). Triggered passive mission: 'He Qing's Main Mission (Acquaintance): First Embrace. Difficulty (Hard). Reward: Provincial-level Car Driving Proficiency. Extract?"

"What? Another passive mission completed?" Zhang Qiu was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected that just daring to hug He Qing and then taking advantage of the opportunity to fall into her arms would complete another passive mission. Moreover, the difficulty was the same as Lin Lai's passive mission, which was also hard.

Although Zhang Qiu didn't feel the difficulty now, it was because he had the golden finger of Charm and the unexpected event of the pervert harassing He Qing. Without these two conditions, getting He Qing's embrace would be as difficult as climbing to the sky. Even though he had her phone number, such a cold and beautiful policewoman would be even harder to approach than Mu Zong, let alone have the chance to hug her.

Thinking about it made him feel incredibly happy and accomplished. He even felt like he was about to have a nosebleed!

Don't have a nosebleed! Otherwise, my image will be ruined.

"How are you? Are you okay, Zhang Qiu?" He Qing, seeing Zhang Qiu fall into her arms, was surprised and blushing, but due to the effect of the charm, she didn't strongly resist. Instead, she was worried about Zhang Qiu.

The pervert who had been kicked to his knees was completely ignored. He was so depressed that he wanted to die. He was on his knees, yet he still had to watch this couple show affection.

"I, I'm fine. Just the recoil was a bit strong, and I lost my balance," Zhang Qiu said, subtly detaching himself from He Qing's embrace while still holding her fragrant shoulder.

It had to be said that her smooth and round shoulder, felt incredibly good through the thin silk dress.

Zhang Qiu didn't know how long the charm enhancement would last, so he decided to take advantage of it as much as possible before it disappeared. He wanted to enjoy it to the fullest, to make the most of his efforts.

"Let's go!" He Qing didn't even look at the pervert again and pulled Zhang Qiu to leave.

Seeing that He Qing wanted to leave, Zhang Qiu had no reason to stay. Although the first mission wasn't completed and he didn't know what revenge the pervert had in store, he wasn't afraid.

After walking a few steps, He Qing stopped in front of a car and asked, "Zhang Qiu, can you drive?"

"Drive?" Zhang Qiu was taken aback. Instinctively, he thought he couldn't drive! But then he remembered the skill reward from the passive mission—Provincial-level Car Driving Proficiency.

He quickly nodded and said, "I can drive, but I don't have a license."

As he spoke, he extracted the Provincial-level Car Driving Proficiency skill. Instantly, many driving techniques and knowledge flooded his mind. When he looked at the car, everything felt different.

He could identify the car model, recite various data, and master various driving techniques. This was the difference between having a skill and not having one, just like the Computer Proficiency skill he had obtained.

The Super Beauty Finder was truly amazing, allowing someone to quickly become an expert in a field.

"Being able to drive is enough. No one dares to check my car," He Qing said confidently.

Zhang Qiu looked at the car, a very ordinary Volkswagen, and couldn't tell much about He Qing's family background.

But He Qing's demeanor, with her cold and iron-blooded exterior and a gentle side, could only be cultivated with good upbringing.

Whether she was a second-generation official or a second-generation rich, at this moment, she was his girlfriend. Even if it was just a temporary pretense, it was enough to make him proud and filled with a sense of accomplishment.

The two got into the car and started it. Zhang Qiu asked He Qing where they were going, and she said to find a place to take a walk.

Zhang Qiu glanced at He Qing and saw that the red aura above her head had stopped entangling his. Looking at his own head, he saw that the red aura was slowly dissipating.

But the entangled red aura was still there, which relieved Zhang Qiu.

Judging by this, it wouldn't be long before the red aura completely dissipated. At that time, it was uncertain whether He Qing would turn against him or not.

The most rational thing to do at this moment was to part ways with He Qing. But Zhang Qiu was a bit reluctant. After all, the effect hadn't disappeared yet, and he still had the chance to get close to such a beautiful and high-status woman. How could he easily give up?

Even if they would eventually turn against each other, he wanted to enjoy the time before that.

So, he decided to make the most of the time and get along well.

Zhang Qiu thought for a moment and chose the nearest park, which was less than a minute's drive away.

Fortunately, there was no traffic, and they quickly arrived at the park entrance, parked the car, and got out.

"Shall we take a walk in the park?" As he spoke, Zhang Qiu wrapped his arm around He Qing's slender waist.

He Qing hummed and then pushed Zhang Qiu's hand away, holding it instead.

But how could Zhang Qiu be satisfied with just holding hands? He Qing's waist was slender and soft, with no excess fat. Especially in the long dress, it was particularly noticeable.

Holding her waist made him feel comfortable, proud, and accomplished.

So, Zhang Qiu forcibly wrapped his arm around her waist again. He Qing struggled, and Zhang Qiu looked at the red aura above his head, which had dissipated even more. He knew that the side effects of the charm were about to start, and he was even more unwilling to give up.

He had to use brute force to forcibly hold He Qing's waist.

He Qing couldn't push him away and realized that Zhang Qiu was incredibly strong, with such powerful arms.

Unable to struggle, she let Zhang Qiu hold her waist, but she felt uncomfortable inside, thinking it was too awkward.

Finally, they entered the park with Zhang Qiu holding He Qing's waist. He moved his hand up and touched the soft, protruding part above, feeling a bit nervous.

He Qing, feeling her sensitive area being touched, glared at him fiercely. Zhang Qiu noticed that the charm was dissipating faster and was startled. He realized he couldn't do anything too excessive, or the charm might be completely dispelled.

So, Zhang Qiu let go of He Qing's waist and chest, having already taken enough advantage.

He patted her shoulder and touched her soft neck, feeling satisfied, and then held her hand.

At this moment, Zhang Qiu noticed that the red aura was dissipating more slowly.

It seemed that the red aura wasn't omnipotent. If he did something the girl didn't want, it would dissipate faster. If he did something she wanted, it would dissipate more slowly.

So, Zhang Qiu held He Qing's hand and savored the feeling.

It was also quite nice! He Qing's hand was very smooth, though her palm was slightly rough, probably due to her job as a policewoman, or from using a gun, which had created calluses.

Even so, He Qing's hands were far superior to Zhang Qiu's. Holding them made him feel delighted and intoxicated.

Trying to chat, Zhang Qiu found they had nothing to talk about. They weren't really familiar, and although they seemed close physically, their hearts were far apart, like people from two different worlds.

Unable to find a topic, Zhang Qiu asked about the case, which was probably their only common ground. "How is my case? What happened to those who beat me?"

"It's already closed! All those who should be detained are detained, except for those still in the hospital. The chief also personally warned the mastermind. The Cheng family, knowing that the chief is backing you, has already backed down. They will likely find you soon to apologize and make amends," He Qing said. Talking about the case, they found some common ground.

After that, He Qing smiled and told Zhang Qiu another piece of news. "By the way, the thing you helped recover has been very useful. The case has been solved, and the chief has been credited for it and will likely be promoted. I also benefited from your help and will be promoted."

"To what position?" Zhang Qiu asked.

"Captain of the Criminal Investigation Division," He Qing said.

Hearing this, Zhang Qiu almost wet himself. Just a moment ago, he had taken advantage of a future captain of the Criminal Investigation Division. If the red aura dissipated, she would likely arrest him immediately. Taking advantage of a captain like this was like a longevity seeker hanging himself—asking for trouble.

"Congratulations! You'll have to treat me to a big meal when the time comes," Zhang Qiu said, laughing. He suppressed his fear, after all, she had come to him first today. Even if she realized she had been taken advantage of, she wouldn't have a good reason.

"Sure! When it's official, I'll treat you to a big meal," He Qing said.

After a while, He Qing suddenly let go of Zhang Qiu's hand. Zhang Qiu looked at the red aura above his head, which had shrunk from the size of an arm to the width of two fingers.

If it continued, it would return to its original state, and his charm would no longer affect He Qing's strong aura. At that time, he might be counterattacked and die a terrible death.

So, Zhang Qiu seized the opportunity and said goodbye to He Qing while there was still a bit of charm left.

Without the influence of the charm, He Qing also didn't want to stay with Zhang Qiu. They said goodbye smoothly, and when He Qing got back in the car, she thought about what had happened, feeling her face heat up.

"Was I out of my mind? How could I do such a ridiculous thing?" She remembered that she had even agreed to treat Zhang Qiu to a meal, feeling utterly embarrassed. She felt she couldn't face Zhang Qiu normally anymore.

Today was a complete embarrassment. As for offending the pervert, although it might cause some trouble, she didn't care because she now hated him.

After parting ways with He Qing, Zhang Qiu contacted Ning Lan to cover up his guilt.

What he did today was indeed a bit bad, a bit shameless, and a bit taking advantage of the situation. But he didn't regret it, after all, he had taken advantage, right?

"By the way, Brother Qiu, I have something to tell you. Cheng Jianwu just contacted me, asking you to come over. He wants to apologize to you in person. Do you think it's a trap?" After some casual chat, Ning Lan suddenly remembered something.

Zhang Qiu asked, "Is he out of the hospital?"

He Qing had already told him that Cheng Jianwu would likely apologize, so he didn't think it was a trap.

"Yes, he just got out today," Ning Lan said.

"Okay, I'll go over in a bit. If it's a trap, I won't be afraid," Zhang Qiu said.

"Okay! I'll follow Brother Qiu's lead," Ning Lan said. Having been saved by Zhang Qiu twice, she had become more dependent on him and had developed unprecedented admiration and affection for him.
