"Ye Chen, who are these two people on the ground? You're not hurt, are you?"

Zhang Xinlan rushed over to check on Ye Chen as soon as the police intervened, which alarmed her immediately.

However, upon arriving, she smelled a strong scent of blood and saw Peng Tanshen and Wang Dazhi struggling and howling on the ground, naturally worrying about Ye Chen's safety.

"Sister Zhang, I'm fine. How did you all get here? Weren't you with Liu Shihua filming?" Ye Chen asked.

"Someone at the film city reported a violent fight here that drew the attention of the police, so they paused the shoot. You were outside, and we were worried, so we came to check on you. Are you alright?" Zhang Xinlan looked Ye Chen over, knowing how skilled he was, but still fearing for his safety.

"His kung fu is so good, nothing would happen to him!" Liu Shihua declared where Zhang Xinlan was, there she was too. "Just look at him, he's definitely up to no good. We asked him to watch the car, and here he is, flirting with girls. It's despicable!"

Liu Shihua glanced at Su Binglan with a somewhat sour tone; clearly, the girl Ye Chen was flirting with was her.

"Zhang Xinlan, Shihua, I'm sorry!" Li Yan, fearing a misunderstanding, hurried over to apologize. "These two injured are my bodyguards. You might have heard about my situation. I shamelessly asked Ye Chen for help!"

"So that's it," Liu Shihua nodded thoughtfully.

Li Yan's situation was well known within the circle, but even her closest friends were helpless about it.

After all, Peng Tanshen was a martial arts master, who would dare provoke him?

However, Liu Shihua hadn't expected that ultimately, it would be Ye Chen who resolved the situation, incapacitating a martial arts master!

Upon hearing Li Yan's explanation, Zhang Xinlan also smiled and nodded.

Yet, when she saw Su Binglan standing beside, smiling radiantly, she couldn't help but feel a stir of emotions.

Su Binglan left a deep impression on Zhang Xinlan, firstly because she was an extraordinary woman, and secondly because this woman was fond of Ye Chen. In other words, they were rivals in love!

"Ye Chen, those two are in such a state, you didn't do this, did you?" Liu Shihua pointed at the bloodied faces of Peng Tanshen and Wang Dazhi and asked.

"Yeah," Ye Chen nodded, the situation with Wang Dazhi had nothing to do with him, but crippling Peng Tanshen with a slap was a fact.

"Then you're in trouble, the police from the harbor will invite you for tea!" Liu Shihua said in a tone suggesting he was doomed.

Liu Shihua by now had unwittingly become Ye Chen's nemesis; this big star could with just one sentence, utterly doom King Ye.

"Afraid of what, with this goddess covering you, even if you killed someone, it wouldn't matter!" Su Binglan spoke up, but her words were sternly directed at Zhang Xinlan, as if challenging her.

Su Binglan's provocative demeanor naturally provoked Zhang Xinlan who returned the challenge with a sharp gaze, unafraid.

"Okay, stop arguing, the police are here."

Seeing the situation escalate, Ye Chen quickly changed the subject, and, just then, the police finally arrived.

Two police cars, six officers, five men and one woman.

The five male officers were each distinct, but that was not the focus, the focus was the sole female officer who was very pretty!

"Oh my god, how could it be you!"

However, upon seeing Ye Chen, the female officer immediately rushed over, her face filled with an incredulous joy.

Ye Chen, seeing this charming policewoman, also had his expression change and blurted out, "How could it be you!"

The beautiful officer was none other than Qin Lan, who had fought shoulder to shoulder with him in the Longcheng Bank robbery!

"Why didn't you let me know before you disappeared? I've been looking for you for a long time, nearly drove me crazy!" Qin Lan playfully complained to Ye Chen, her face blooming with a smile.

That day of the Longcheng Bank robbery, Ye Chen, in a critical moment, thunderously defeated the Dongjiang Eight Tigers and rescued numerous hostages, then vanished without a trace.

The police had searched for this hero multiple times without success, and as someone who had fought alongside Ye Chen, Qin Lan was naturally very disappointed.

Shortly after the Dongjiang Eight Tigers incident, mainland authorities assigned her to Hong Kong and Macau. She thought she'd never see Ye Chen again, but as it turned out, remarkably, on her first mission in the harbor area, she encountered Ye Chen.

"Weren't you stationed in the mainland? What are you doing here?" Ye Chen asked.

"My superiors transferred me here, but I never imagined I'd run into you. I'm really so happy!" Qin Lan exclaimed excitedly.

Qin Lan was very happy, and even if she didn't say it, everyone could see it.

The officers who came with her were busy getting details on Peng Tanshen and Wang Dazhi's conditions, only Qin Lan was happily cuddling up to Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, this is your friend?" Zhang Xinlan asked.

Women are very sensitive, and the way Qin Lan looked at Ye Chen made Zhang Xinlan feel threatened.

"Yeah, is this little policewoman a friend of yours, or another goddess to rival me?" Su Binglan also asked.

"A casual acquaintance, just a normal friend!"

Facing the joint attack of the two women, Ye Chen immediately wore a bitter expression.

"Ye Chen, who are they?" Qin Lan, seeing the two beautiful women pressing Ye Chen, couldn't help but be curious.

"I'm his girlfriend!" Zhang Xinlan defended her position.

"I'm his woman!" Su Binglan stated plainly.

At this point, the two women locked gazes, their competitive relationship clear, each unwilling to yield. There was only one good man, and neither wanted to give him up.

"Alright, I'll leave you two be," Qin Lan said, noticing Zhang and Su's jealousy. For some reason, she felt somewhat disheartened.

...

In the end, Ye Chen was asked to return to the police station to assist with an investigation.

However, thanks to Su Binglan's connections and the bias of Qin Lan, the policewoman, Ye Chen merely gave his statement and was released.

But when Ye Chen returned to his residence, he faced a new round of verbal interrogation.

"Ye Chen, you're really dishonest. Don't you think you have too many women around? A goddess is all one needs!"

"Who is that policewoman, why did she smile at you so radiantly, and why were her eyes suggesting something ambiguous with you?"

"How did you two meet?"

"..."

Ye Chen obediently endured the interrogation, while Zhang Xinlan stood coldly demanding him to confess leniently or suffer from resistance, and to tell the truth. As the star Liu Shihua was his sister-in-law, she naturally played the advisor, throwing in a sharp-tongued comment occasionally.

"Heaven's sake! I've said it eight hundred sixty-one times now, I just briefly met that policewoman by chance. It's really not as messy as you think!" Ye Chen was near tears.

"A brief meeting by chance?" Zhang Xinlan clearly didn't believe it. "If it really was a fleeting encounter, could she look at you with such a suggestive gaze?"

The way Qin Lan looked at Ye Chen left a deep impression on Zhang Xinlan; it was filled with tenderness and admiration.

"How would I know!" exclaimed Ye Chen in protest. "Who makes me so gallant and charming!"

"Hmph!" Zhang Xinlan began to laugh coldly upon hearing this.

"Even though I might be the most handsome man in Huaxia, I still kneel before your beauty, completely captivated by your charm!" Ye Chen beamed at Zhang Xinlan, flattering her. "You are electricity, you are light, you are my creed! Xinlan, you're the only one in my heart!"

Upon hearing these sweet nothings, the anger on Zhang Xinlan's face slowly faded, replaced by a hint of a blissful smile.

"Ah! I've got it!" Liu Shihua suddenly spoke up, stirring trouble. "You and that policewoman met amidst the vast crowd, fell in love at first sight, and each made a promise!"

"When her hair reaches her waist, if you're not married, and she isn't either, you will get married, right?" Liu Shihua sharply said. "I paid special attention; that policewoman had short hair!"

Ye Chen: "..."

Being a big star, Liu Shihua had read many scripts and acted in many melodramatic TV series, so her ideas were just as dramatic.

"Don't be silent, silence is consent! Do you really have some unspeakable secret with that policewoman!" Liu Shihua said.

"I suddenly want to know as well, how did you really meet her!" said Zhang Xinlan.

"Alright, alright!"

Facing the combined pressure of the two beauties, Ye Chen could only start confessing, "This is complicated, it's not something I can explain in a few words!"

"Well, speak up!" Liu Shihua rolled her eyes. "Such a nag you are!"

Ye Chen: "..."

"This is a long story, and we have to go back to when Chu Yanran caught me..."

Ye Chen, being a meticulous person, if he had to explain, he intended to clarify everything.

Having been in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan for many days, Ye Chen had only stuck by Zhang Xinlan, not yet clarifying the past events, so he explained everything from start to finish.

Putting in great effort to cure Chu Yanran's mother-in-law, only to be cruelly trapped by both Chu Yanran and Tong Xingtong, he stumbled into being a captive...

Ye Chen explained very thoroughly, vividly describing the dramatic events that occurred after leaving the Tianda banquet.

"You saved Empress Chu's son and then were affected by the Heavenly Destitute Star's power! You go to the bank, you encounter a fierce robber, and on a plane, you meet a hijacker—have you turned into some kind of plague god?" Zhang Xinlan's expression shifted slightly.

Ye Chen made the story very clear, the thrilling details causing her heart to tremble.

Zhang Xinlan felt some regret, regretting blaming him for his absence; during his disappearance, this man had undergone so many dangers!

"Well, but that Lone Star Evil Qi has been expelled by me, it's harmless now," Ye Chen enjoyed the concern from the beautiful women.

Hearing this, Zhang Xinlan's expression eased slightly, Ye Chen now having hooked her soul. If anything had really happened to him, she could hardly have borne it.

"Hmph!" Just then, Liu Shihua sneered. "Ye Chen, you are really quite the ladies' man!"

"Chu Yanran, Tong Xingtong, Ye Wushuang, Su Binglan, Li Yan… which one hasn't been involved with you?" Liu Shihua glanced sideways at Ye Chen, pausing dramatically with each word. "In the bank robbery, you could have acted any time, yet you only made your dramatic move when that policewoman appeared, playing the hero to save the beauty! The same with Su Binglan, you saved her when she was desperate; no wonder she's so infatuated with you!"

"All this, probably all according to your cunning plan, right? Actually, you're the real mastermind behind it all!" Liu Shihua laughed coldly. "Such a casual approach, such profound scheming!"

"To chase girls, you really don't scruple in choosing methods, impressive indeed!"
