Chapter 198: How Could Ning Jie Be Wrong!

Watching as the thugs were taken away by the police.

Murong Bufan sneered.

He had initially wanted the police to take Wang Haoran for questioning as well, but to his surprise, they said Wang Haoran was an exemplary citizen and had nothing to do with this!

Even the thugs insisted they were just bluffing by using Wang Haoran’s name!

Murong Bufan believed Wang Haoran must have threatened them, making them too scared to tell the truth!

“The Wang family really wields power!”

“Wang Haoran, you’re impressive, your subordinates are so loyal they won’t betray you!”

Hearing this, Wang Haoran was speechless.

Look at me, then look at those thugs; our styles are clearly different!

What’s wrong with you, insisting we’re together!

His tone became harsher.

“…Idiot, I warn you, if you accuse me of ordering them, you better have evidence!”

“Or I’ll sue you for slander!”

After Wang Haoran finished, Ning Xueluo immediately backed him up.

“Haoran, don’t bother with someone whose brain doesn’t work right!”

She then turned to Fu Xue.

“Xuexue, is this how your Special Management Bureau handles things?”

“Abusing power for personal grudges, slandering good people!”

“Hmph, behavior like this, and you think you can maintain order among martial artists?!”

“…No, Ning Jie… Murong-gege, he… he just took the wrong medicine today!”

Seeing Ning Xueluo angry, Fu Xue panicked.

She quickly looked at Murong Bufan.

“Murong-gege, we need evidence to do things!”

“Fair and just! How can you casually say this has to do with Wang Haoran!”

“Hurry and apologize!”

“…Xiaoxue, you…”

“Murong-gege! When you do something wrong, you have to apologize!”

Fu Xue scolded with her hands on her hips.

Since Ning Jie said Wang Haoran is a good person, then Wang Haoran must be a good person!

How could Ning Jie be wrong!

She just knew, Wang Haoran, although he looked unimpressive, couldn’t be a bad person!

Murong-gege talked about proof and all, but in the end, it was just his imagination convicting him!

This is dragging down the reputation of the Special Management Bureau!

“…I…!”

Murong Bufan couldn’t refute!

He just casually complained and got bombarded by three people, and his partner Fu Xue insisted he apologize to Wang Haoran!

He thought Fu Xue would support him!

Being glared at like a little tiger by Fu Xue, Murong Bufan finally gave in.

“I understand.”

“Wang Haoran… I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have doubted you!”

Wang Haoran waved his hand, “It’s fine, you’re an idiot, I won’t argue with you!”

“You…!”

Murong Bufan was furious!

But Fu Xue was afraid they’d fight, so she quickly intervened, leaving Murong Bufan with nowhere to vent his anger.

[Ding! Female lead Fu Xue protected the host, Murong Bufan felt distressed! Murong Bufan’s Protagonist Halo -150, Host’s Luck Points +150, Ability Points +15!]

[Ding! Murong Bufan was insulted and couldn’t retaliate! Murong Bufan’s Protagonist Halo -50, Host’s Luck Points +50, Ability Points +5!]

[Murong Bufan’s remaining Protagonist Halo: 4700, Host’s current Luck Points: 4200, Ability Points: 30.]

Seeing Murong Bufan’s pained expression, Wang Haoran laughed.

With so many luck points, he decided to boost his combat power to the legendary realm.

After all, having Fu Tianlin above him, being weaker felt uncomfortable!

For now, Wang Haoran looked at Xu Ruochu.

Supporting character? Supporting characters shouldn’t be left to Murong Bufan!

“Miss Xu, can we talk inside?”

“Okay… please come in!”

Xu Ruochu, confused by the series of events, answered instinctively.

Seeing her school uniform, Wang Haoran also felt it was a coincidence.

“Miss Xu, are you from First High?”

“Two years ago… not anymore…”

Xu Ruochu was exceptionally naive, answering immediately when asked.

“I dropped out this year…”

“Dropped out?” Wang Haoran was curious.

Xu Ruochu was a year younger than Xia Xinyan and the others, likely dropping out due to financial issues.

“Yes, my mom got sick, so I had to take care of her…”

Xu Ruochu explained sorrowfully.

Her father had passed away, leaving only this house for her and her mother.

They lived a hard life, but then her mother was diagnosed with uremia.

Just when they didn’t know what to do, they heard about the demolition.

The mother and daughter were overjoyed.

They found out that the treatment and follow-up care would cost about 1.5 million, and with more than 3 million from the compensation, her mother could get treated and buy a decent house.

But they never expected the compensation to be reduced to 800,000!

If it were 1.5 million, they would accept it, but it was only 800,000!

If they accepted, her mother wouldn’t get treated, and they’d have no place to live!

So, despite fearing the thugs, Xu Ruochu refused to give in.

In the courtyard.

After hearing Xu Ruochu’s story, Wang Haoran felt some guilt, considering it was his group’s doing!

And Murong Bufan got to be the hero!

Wang Haoran understood that such an innocent girl, after being saved by Murong Bufan, would certainly have great favorability!

But thankfully, Wang Haoran still had a chance to intervene.

Such a pitiful girl, Wang Haoran didn’t plan to use despicable means; throwing money at it would solve the problem, a few million wasn’t much.

Importantly, he needed to keep Xu Ruochu away from Murong Bufan.

Thinking this, Wang Haoran gently spoke to Xu Ruochu.

“Miss Xu, all this was caused by our group’s employees breaking the rules.”

“So, we will take full responsibility. To express our apology, besides the original compensation, we will also compensate for your emotional distress.”

“And for your mother’s treatment, our Wang Group’s hospital will take full responsibility!”

Wang Haoran decided to have the Wang Group hospital handle Xu Ruochu’s mother’s treatment.

That way, the filial Xu Ruochu would stay at the hospital to care for her mother.

And on Wang family’s turf, there would be no trouble finding Xu Ruochu.

This way, Murong Bufan wouldn’t have the chance to be the hero!

To make sure Xu Ruochu agreed, Wang Haoran pulled Fu Xue over.

“Xuexue is a righteous officer, with her around, you don’t have to worry about me deceiving you!”

“Yes, Miss Xu, don’t worry, if Wang Haoran deceives you, I won’t let him off!”

Fu Xue also felt pity for Xu Ruochu, so she first comforted her.

Then she pulled her hand from Wang Haoran’s grip.

“Annoying!”

“Why are you being so touchy!”

“Haha, sorry!” Wang Haoran laughed heartily.

Seeing Wang Haoran like this, Fu Xue stomped her foot, then ran to Ning Xueluo’s side, “Ning Jie, look at him!”

“Xuexue, sorry, Haoran is just casual with friends!”

Ning Xueluo patted Fu Xue’s head, “Xuexue, don’t be mad!”

“Mm, I’m not mad!”

Being patted, Fu Xue squinted happily, forgetting about Wang Haoran’s antics.

Seeing this, Wang Haoran felt conflicted.

He was flirting with girls and needed Ning Xueluo to assist… was this another form of relying on a woman?

Meanwhile, Murong Bufan saw Fu Xue’s coquettish behavior towards Wang Haoran, his face turning green—

Murong Bufan, look at yourself, what are you even doing to advise Xiaoxue!!!
