Manipulative Harem God



Zhang Wei turned his gaze towards a street camera and instinctively clicked his tongue in annoyance.

While the hotel cameras would be consumed by the impending fire, this particular camera posed a problem.

However, a cunning plan quickly formed in Zhang Wei's mind.

"System, how many points to erase my presence from the CCTV footage?" he inquired.

[20 points, host. Would you like to proceed?]

"Yes," Zhang Wei nodded decisively and swiftly made his way back into the hotel.

Along the path, numerous onlookers couldn't help but notice his enhanced skin and aura.

Unfazed by their curious stares, he reentered the private room where Ye Feng and the others were patiently waiting.

Ye Feng's eyes twitched as he observed Zhang Wei's return. How could he have exited the washroom earlier, yet still arrive later than him?

The timing seemed inexplicable, but amidst the air of nonchalance, no one questioned it further.

The dinner continued peacefully, albeit with a slight delay.

As the meal approached its conclusion, Zhang Wei cast a discreet glance towards Yu Lei, who was near the end of her own meal.

Leaning in slightly, he whispered in a low voice, "Hey, remember your desire to have a baby?"

!!

In that moment, Yu Lei seemed to freeze, her gaze darting back to Zhang Wei who skillfully maintained his façade of looking ahead.

A perpetual smile adorned her face as she interacted with Lin Ruoxi and the others, but beneath it all, she was a ball of anticipation.

Zhang Wei let out a relieved sigh, about to speak when Yu Lei subtly raised her hand beneath the table, signaling him to stop. "Tell me what I need to do," she whispered eagerly, her eyes gleaming with innocence as she looked at him.

As long as Zhang Wei was willing to have a child with her, the conditions didn't matter to Yu Lei.

She was willing to do whatever it took

Zhang Wei, with a smile playing at his lips, gently shook his head.

He knew what he was about to do next would be a little cruel, but he had his reasons.

Without hesitation, he subtly shifted his plate, causing the spoon in his hand to slip from his grasp.

The shiny utensil descended swiftly, hitting the hard surface with a resounding *clank!* that reverberated through the air.

!?

The sudden sound pierced the atmosphere, like the striking of a chord in a symphony.

Conversations halted abruptly as eyes turned toward the source of the disturbance, fixated on the fallen spoon lying innocently on the ground.

Zhang Wei spun around, his gaze locking onto Yu Lei's captivating eyes. "Could you please retrieve it for me?" he requested, his voice filled with a mixture of anticipation and urgency.

"Hm?" Yu Lei was momentarily puzzled, but she graciously leaned over the table, determined to fulfill his request.

With graceful precision, her slender fingers seized the shimmering silver spoon, poised to lift her head.

However, Zhang Wei swiftly intervened.

In one fluid motion, he seized the table's edge with his dominant hand and, with a sudden burst of force using his another hand he propelled Yu Lei's head upwards.

*Bam!*

The resounding crash reverberated through the room, eliciting a startled gasp from Yu Lei.

Her eyes widened in a symphony of astonishment and pain, gradually fading as her vision dimmed and her body succumbed to weakness, collapsing into the chair.

A crimson trickle of blood emerged from her forehead, marking the point of impact against the unforgiving corner of the table.

"What?!"

Confusion gripped the bystanders, their faces a tapestry of bewilderment. They were left with the impression that Yu Lei had inadvertently struck her head against the table while attempting to raise it.

"B-Blood!" Wu Xue exclaimed, her voice trembling with horror.

"Call an ambulance!" Lin Ruoxi instantly rose from her seat, her sense of urgency taking over.

Zhang Wei mirrored a feigned expression of terror, while Ye Feng interjected, "The bleeding is too severe. The ambulance won't make it in time."

A wave of darkness washed over everyone present.

What had just happened?

Weren't things perfectly fine just moments ago?

How had this sudden accident unfolded?

Such is the unpredictable nature of accidents; they strike without warning.

The system was consumed by curiosity regarding Zhang Wei's motives.

Nonetheless, Zhang Wei took charge swiftly, glaring fiercely at Lin Ruoxi and the others. "Do any of you have a car? We didn't bring ours today!"

"Yes, Ye Feng should have the keys!" Lin Ruoxi nodded without hesitation, and Ye Feng retrieved the keys.

Without a second thought, Zhang Wei snatched them from him and declared, "President Lin, I need to borrow your car." With that, Zhang Wei scooped up Yu Lei into his arms and dashed outside.

Chaos erupted in the entire lobby.

"What's going on?"

"Did something happen? Look, the lady is bleeding from her head."

"Oh my God! What's going on?"

Everything unfolded in a whirlwind, leaving no time for anyone to react.

"Wait for me!" Lin Ruoxi shouted abruptly and swiftly pursued him, her black high heels echoing on the floor.

Wu Xue and Ye Feng hurriedly followed her lead.

Outside, the Bentley had only four seats. "I'll join you," Lin Ruoxi volunteered without hesitation. As the host of the dinner and with Yu Lei being her subordinate, she felt a responsibility to accompany them.

Zhang Wei cast her a grateful glance and gently placed Yu Lei's limp body on the back seat, ensuring her comfort.

Lin Ruoxi settled into the passenger seat and retrieved a cloth from her bag, skillfully wrapping it around Yu Lei's head to stem the bleeding.

Before taking his place behind the wheel, Zhang Wei leaned close to Ye Feng and whispered something. Without waiting for a response, he swiftly entered the car and accelerated, disregarding traffic lights, speeding towards the nearest hospital.

*Screech!*

The tires left skid marks on the asphalt as Ye Feng and Wu Xue stood frozen in place.

"H-How did this happen?" Wu Xue gasped, her hand instinctively covering her mouth, her eyes wide with shock as the taillights of the car vanished into the distance.

She couldn't make sense of it all.
