Manipulative Harem God



Just as Zhang Wei was about to settle in with both beauties, a rumble of hunger disrupted their peaceful encounter.

*Grr~!*

Zhang Wei and Rose turned towards the source of the sound, their faces contorted in surprise.

"I-I'm hungry!" Yu Lei blurted out in self-defense, her eyes locked with Zhang Wei's, refusing to succumb to his accusatory gaze. "Don't give me that look! Who told you to engage in all-night shenanigans?" she shot back, immediately turning her head to the side, her ears turning a delightful shade of red.

Yu Lei could handle Zhang Wei's piercing gaze, but facing Rose's inquisitive eyes after delivering such an enigmatic retort? Impossible!

Rose's mind started to connect the dots, and a mischievous glint lit up her face. "Oh, you two were up all night, huh?" she muttered, a playful grin forming on her lips.

"Boss, I never knew you were such a beast!" Rose teased, momentarily forgetting the lesson Zhang Wei had taught her the last time.

Zhang Wei's face twitched, and his gaze shifted towards the kitchen, directing the complaining Yu Lei to her rightful place. "Since you're so concerned about her, why don't you go prepare a meal?"

!!

Rose's eyebrows shot up in surprise before she burst into laughter. "Why should I do all the menial work? Am I just a guest here?"

Zhang Wei reminded her with a smirk, "No, you're not. Remember who just referred to herself as an underground lover and subordinate a moment ago?"

"..."

Rose was left dumbfounded, realizing that Zhang Wei had deftly maneuvered the situation and turned the tables on her. With a mischievous sparkle in his eyes, he added, "By the way, I don't like noodles!" before comfortably plopping himself onto the plush couch.

Although he missed the feeling of softness in his hands, he knew that neither of the ladies would be making an escape anytime soon.

Witnessing the determination in his eyes, Rose couldn't help but wonder if he had summoned her solely for this culinary task. Reluctantly, she sighed and prepared to make her exit.

Who was it that made Zhang Wei her boss anyway?

She could only surrender to being taken advantage of.

After an hour had passed...

"Boss, I think I can arrange that," Rose confirmed, her gaze fixed on Zhang Wei. She still couldn't help but wonder why he needed an empty basement equipped with surveillance. At least she was relieved that he hadn't called her over just to play the role of a cook.

"Also, I need you to arrange a way from the Lin Group headquarters to that location. Car, truck, anything will work," Zhang Wei revealed.

"The Lin Group?" Rose frowned, a tinge of worry creeping into her thoughts. She had a feeling that Zhang Wei was about to venture into illegal territory. "I can make it happen, but there are so many traffic cameras. If they investigate, we'll get caught," she pointed out, her excitement growing despite her reservations. Ever since Zhang Wei had entered her life, her perspective on illegal activities within the gang had shifted. Everything had changed.

Even Rose couldn't deny the thrill of breaking the law, and it was clear that Zhang Wei was planning something big.

"Traffic cameras?" Zhang Wei pondered, a hint of concern crossing his face. However, he quickly dismissed the worry, confident that the process of coercing Lin Ruoxi wouldn't take more than a few hours.

After all, who would truly care if she disappeared for a brief period?

Certainly, no one.

Besides, everyone knew that missing person reports were typically filed after a tedious 24-hour waiting period. And according to Yu Lei, Lin Ruoxi had a habit of working late in the office, providing them with a safe window of opportunity.

Meanwhile, Yu Lei sat peacefully, focusing on her meal and tuning out the conversation. She was tired and needed nourishment if she wanted to continue learning about life and studying with Zhang Wei. It was a different kind of study, of course!

Under normal circumstances, Yu Lei's behavior might be considered rude, but no one in the room seemed to mind. Especially not with Feng Xinyue, another exhausted body, sprawled on the nearby couch. The place was in complete disarray.

"Uwwwif... if you plan to kidnap President Lin, do it after five!" Yu Lei suddenly interjected, pausing her chopstick movements as she locked eyes with Zhang Wei and Rose.

"You were listening?" Rose asked, astonished.

"Hmm!" Yu Lei nodded, resuming her meal as if eavesdropping was the most natural thing in the world.

Rose shook her head, eventually setting aside her concerns about Yu Lei.

Instead, she found Zhang Wei's earlier statement to be surprisingly accurate. "Your wife is really harmless, huh? You weren't lying," she commented, glancing at Zhang Wei's face with a mix of surprise and amusement.

Zhang Wei lightly slapped her thighs, redirecting her attention back to the task at hand—their plan.

After their small gathering concluded, Rose was escorted outside by Yu Lei.

Zhang Wei couldn't help but wonder why Yu Lei was so enthusiastic, but he couldn't pinpoint any particular reason.

Only Rose, as she prepared to step into the elevator, suddenly felt a bone-chilling aura at her back.

"... If you dare pull anything funny with him, then..." a whispered warning echoed near Rose's ears.

In response, Rose nodded, her smile stiff and icy, before stepping into the elevator.

"Bye-bye! Come back soon!" Yu Lei waved her hands with infectious enthusiasm, momentarily forgetting that she had seemingly issued a threat just a few seconds prior.

Her aura changing within span of seconds.

"B-B...Bye," Rose waved her hand awkwardly, her face twitching with a mixture of discomfort and nervousness.

Beads of sweat formed on her forehead, betraying her unease as she stepped into the elevator.

"Sigh... what was that!?" Rose cursed under her breath the moment the metal doors closed, finally releasing the breath she had been holding.

The tension in her body dissolved, and she leaned against the elevator wall, trying to make sense of the whirlwind encounter she had just experienced.

"Yanran, stop it already!"

"Oh, really? Hehe~"

Just as Yu Lei was about to retreat to her own space, she caught the sound of commotion coming from the apartment situated, right in front of thier's.

Her curiosity piqued, she couldn't resist the urge to eavesdrop on the conversation unfolding outside.

As she pressed her ear against the door, her eyes widened with astonishment, a strange smile creeping across her face.

The snippets of conversation she overheard revealed some intriguing information.

Finally, she had stumbled upon something worthwhile!
