Chapter 541: Chapter 539: Embarrassing Journey

Checking the time, Zou Xiaomin should have already rescued all the deluded girls by now.

Thus, Wen Wen also got ready, preparing to head to the Hunters Association to pick up Zou Xiaomin, and then they would set off for Baoya City together.

Before leaving, Wen Wen looked at the balcony of the opposite resident and couldn’t help but chuckle.

After discovering that he had moved back in, several new cacti had been placed on the balcony of the house opposite, a type of cacti that was extremely cheap and couldn’t survive the winter.

The homeowner’s intentions were clear, and Wen Wen understood what was going on the moment he saw them.

A long time ago, he accidentally chopped off the neighbor’s potted plant and as compensation, he threw over a pig’s leg; with the recent high price of pork, the neighbor was probably hoping for Wen Wen to accidentally damage his potted plants again, earning himself a few more pig’s legs...

"This guy really is a character with some unique ideas... heh heh."

After chuckling a few times, Wen Wen took a pig’s leg out of the Sanctuary and tossed it onto the neighbor’s balcony; regardless, if it could make him happy for a moment, it was worth the pig’s leg.

He then went downstairs and had Three Cubs drive him to the Hunters Association. During the drive, Four Cubs gave Wen Wen a massage.

Four Cubs was much more useful than Three Cubs, aside from not being able to drive, it could do anything from serving tea and water to massaging backs and shoulders; Wen Wen could command it freely with just a thought.

Three Cubs, however, gave Four Cubs rather hostile looks, feeling it might fall out of favor, so it increased the driving speed, as if racing...

After entering the psychiatric hospital, Wen Wen planned to sell the ’miracle hair-growth tonic’ to Ding Mingguang for a high price. He didn’t want money, but Ding Mingguang had many odd websites and network resources, and getting a part of that would be enough for Wen Wen to enjoy for a long time.

But as soon as he entered, he saw Ding Mingguang walking over with a head full of hair, looking quite pleased, and constantly turning his head beside Wen Wen.

The elegant long hair swaying to and fro, like a shampoo ad, surrounded Wen Wen with the scent of shampoo.

The fragrance of a beautiful woman’s shampoo might be refreshing, but Ding Mingguang’s...well, it was indescribable.

Wen Wen glanced at Li Dazhuang, who was counting money, and everything clicked: "Looks like Li Dazhuang beat me to selling the hair tonic... Truly a member of my Sanctuary, he has a knack for business."

However, someone who had been bald for so long suddenly having hair, caused Wen Wen to feel a sense of discomfort, so he grimaced and said to Ding Mingguang, "You looked better bald..."

But Ding Mingguang didn’t listen to a word Wen Wen said, he just kept admiring himself in the mirror, overjoyed at the return of his hair, nothing had made the bald youth happier.

Continuing further in, Wen Wen saw Lin Lu Yan Xiu and You Han, the three of them discussing a case.

Seeing their relaxed demeanor, it seemed not to be any major case, but there was something odd about their expressions, so Wen Wen moved closer to have a look.

Upon seeing the image on the document, Wen Wen was covered in cold sweat.

In the middle of the three was a crude portrait, essentially depicting a man with black hair dressed in black clothes, with a lecherous demeanor.

When Lin Lu saw Wen Wen looking over, she said to him, "After the Mirror Monster case was resolved, the only case in the past two days has been this one."

"Two days ago, a pervert suddenly appeared in the women’s bathhouse, and then disappeared at an extremely high speed. It’s likely the work of a superpower user; it’s just that the memories of those older women aren’t that great, unable to give a clear portrait."

Yan Xiu didn’t say anything, but the expression on his mask conveyed longing as he appeared to also want to visit that place.

Without a word, Lin Lu gave his waist a pinch, causing Yan Xiu to grimace and withdraw his longing expression.

"By the way, don’t you think this guy looks a bit like Wen Wen..." You Han scrutinized Wen Wen for a while before saying.

All three of them turned their heads, looking at Wen Wen with suspicion.

Wen Wen forcefully suppressed his cold sweat and said with impressive calmness, "Don’t look at me like that—black clothes and black hair are common. At that time, I was fighting with a monster in the mirror. Don’t wrongly accuse an innocent man."

"Tch, he does look a bit like him." Lin Zheyuan said as he walked over with a coconut in hand.

Wen Wen huffed, "Illusion, it’s all an illusion!"

"Zou Xiaomin, come with me. We’re heading off to Baoya City!" Wen Wen forcefully dragged the onlooking Zou Xiaomin down the stairs.

With his hand extended toward Wen Wen, Lin Zheyuan said, "Wait, the captain of the Demon Hunter squad in Baoya City is..."

As Wen Wen had already walked downstairs, Lin Zheyuan didn’t finish his sentence but instead exchanged looks with the others and burst into boisterous laughter.

The laughter was so loud that even Wen Wen, who had reached the bottom of the stairs, could still hear it.

It wasn’t until he got to his car with Zou Xiaomin in tow that Wen Wen noticed her face had turned beet red, her mind probably filled with all sorts of messy thoughts.

Even after she settled into the passenger seat without uttering a word, Wen Wen didn’t mind. He simply thought that was just her personality; after all, he had never seen her acting normally.

The car, driven by Three Cubs, started towards Baoya City with Wen Wen lying in the backseat and Four Cubs serving as his pillow.

After driving for a while, Wen Wen asked Zou Xiaomin lazily, "Can I ask you something?"

"Ah!" Zou Xiaomin jerked in surprise, then said nervously, "I, I don’t have a boyfriend!"

Wen Wen facepalmed, "...what on earth, who cares if you have a boyfriend or not? You could have a hundred boyfriends and it wouldn’t concern me."

"Oh..." Zou Xiaomin said, looking downcast.

Wen Wen scratched his head, realizing for the first time that the girl opposite him was either genuinely quirky or had taken a fancy to him in a fit of lunacy.

The situation left Wen Wen somewhat at a loss. From kindergarten to now, it was the first time that a female had taken this kind of liking to him.

After a moment of silence, Wen Wen awkwardly asked, "When you were working in Baoya City, did you ever hear any rumors about Master Red Beard?"

"Master Red Beard..."

Hearing something related to work, Zou Xiaomin began to act more normal.

"I often hear that name. In Baoya City, this person has a strong presence. Behind many crimes committed by ordinary people, you can find his shadow."

"But we are strictly forbidden from investigating him in depth, and he has basically not interfered with our actions, so I don’t know much about him."

Wen Wen shifted his position to lie down, thinking that catching Master Red Beard wouldn’t be easy.

Master Red Beard seems to interact more with ordinary people than with superpower users. To take him down, it was likely necessary to find a breakthrough through Baoya City’s underworld gangs.

The atmosphere in the car became somewhat awkward, with Wen Wen unsure how to face Zou Xiaomin.

So he simply climbed onto the car roof to clear his head, out of sight, out of mind.

In someone else’s case, a situation like this could potentially lead to a beautiful romance.

But as for Wen Wen...

There was a reason he had been single for over twenty years.
