But Chen Zheng couldn't be bothered to speak with them. With a powerful push from his feet, he leaped into the air.
Twisting his body mid-flight, he unleashed a whip kick at the motorcycle.
BANG!
The motorcycle was sent flying by Chen Zheng's kick. The two robbers on it were also thrown several meters, skidding across the ground for a long distance before finally stopping.
The handbag they were holding fell at Chen Zheng's feet.
Chen Zheng sneered, picked up the handbag, and walked toward the two robbers.
Both of them wore helmets, and their motorcycle was beat-up. It was clear they were repeat offenders.
The two robbers quickly scrambled up from the ground. They had only been thrown with the motorcycle and weren't seriously injured. Now, as they looked at Chen Zheng, their eyes burned with a vicious glint.
Just then, the campus belle caught up, took the handbag from Chen Zheng, and quickly thanked him. "Thank you! Sir, if it weren't for you, my bag would have definitely been stolen!"
Only then did Chen Zheng get a good look at her.
It had to be said, no one called a campus belle was ever unattractive. This woman had delicate features and an excellent figure. The light makeup on her face added a touch of maturity to her youthful appearance. Her clothes were rather plain, but she possessed a rare air of purity.
"Damn it! Where the hell did you pop out from, messing up our business? Are you tired of living?!" one of the robbers cursed as they advanced on Chen Zheng, looking extremely aggressive.
Chen Zheng frowned, just about to teach them some manners.
At that moment, the belle spoke up.
"If you've got the guts, stay right there! I've already called the police, and they'll be here any minute. Robbery is a serious crime!"
Hearing this, the two robbers exchanged a look, and panic flashed in their eyes.
One of them pointed at Chen Zheng and snarled, "You little punk, just you wait! We'll make you pay for this next time!"
With that, the two turned, hoisted up their motorcycle, and sped away from the scene.
HUFF... HUFF...
"That was so close!"
The campus belle let out a long sigh of relief, her earlier composure gone. She patted her chest, a look of lingering fear on her face.
"Sir, thank you so much," the belle said, turning to Chen Zheng once more. "If it wasn't for you today, my handbag would probably be gone forever!"
Chen Zheng just smiled and waved his hand. "It was nothing, just lending a hand. Anyone would have done the same."
"You should probably carry a crossbody bag next time," he advised. "Handbags aren't very safe."
Chen Zheng had already completed the mission. A property in Tianrui Residence now belonged to him, and the system had placed the keys in his car.
"Wait a moment, Sir!"
About to leave, Chen Zheng paused and looked at the belle, slightly puzzled.
She smiled and extended her hand. "Hello, my name is Liu Qianqian, and I'm a recent university graduate. If you hadn't helped me today, all my interview materials would have been lost!"
"How about I treat you to dinner to thank you?"
Chen Zheng smiled and shook his head. "Hello, I'm Chen Zheng. Don't worry about it, it was no trouble at all. Dinner isn't necessary."
"Mr. Chen, do you have plans tonight? If not, how about I treat you to a late-night snack instead?"
Liu Qianqian wasn't sure why she was so insistent on treating Chen Zheng to a meal. Maybe it was to thank him for his courageous act, or maybe it was just because he was incredibly handsome. That mid-air kick had struck her right in the heart.
Chen Zheng couldn't help but laugh as he looked at her. After a moment's thought, he nodded. "Alright then."
"Yay! In that case, Mr. Chen, let's add each other on WeChat. I'll contact you tonight, okay?"
Chen Zheng nodded. "No problem."
After they exchanged contact information, Chen Zheng drove away.
Could it be that since getting the system, my luck with women has improved too? A campus belle is repeatedly asking me out! he pondered in the car.
In truth, Chen Zheng had always been handsome and was even considered a campus hunk back in school. A little while ago, he had gained ten points of attractiveness at his class reunion, making him even more handsome than those idol-type pretty boys. However, his appeal wasn't effeminate; it was a rugged, masculine charm.
He drove around aimlessly. He had originally planned to check on Zhao Gao and Li Hao, but he somehow found himself in front of the Tianrui Residence complex. Since he was already here, he decided to check out the apartment gifted by the system.
It was a large apartment with one elevator serving two households, featuring four bedrooms, two living rooms, and a total area just shy of 200 square meters. The layout was excellent. This wasn't a high-end complex, but because of the good nearby schools, the price per square meter was over thirty thousand. Moreover, the apartments here were all large, so the overall property values were very high.
"It's quite nice. I'll just leave it for now," he said to himself.
After a quick tour, Chen Zheng drove back to the villa. Zhao Gao and Li Hao were still busy with the food city project, leaving Chen Zheng home alone. He leaned on the sofa, watched some TV, and fell asleep. He didn't wake up until Wei Zixuan called him around four in the afternoon.
After picking up Wei Zixuan from Dahong Real Estate, the two went to a high-end private restaurant. The restaurant was located inside a park, giving Chen Zheng his first taste of how the wealthy dined.
Although they were married, their relationship was still in its early stages. However, after the recent events, things were steadily improving.
After dinner, Chen Zheng dropped Wei Zixuan off at her home.
Just as he left Wei Zixuan's neighborhood, he received a message from Liu Qianqian.
"Mr. Chen, I'm at the snack street near Yunzhou University. Are you free to come over?"
Chen Zheng promptly replied, "I'll be there in a bit."
"By the way," he added, "don't call me Mr. Chen. Just use my name. It sounds a little strange."
"Okey-dokey, Chen Zheng!"
「A quarter of an hour later.」
Chen Zheng had just parked his car when he heard Liu Qianqian's voice from a short distance away. "Chen Zheng! Over here!"
He looked toward the sound and saw Liu Qianqian standing next to another girl, waving at him with a joyful smile.
Chen Zheng smiled and nodded back before walking over to them.
"My goodness, Qian Qian, is this the guy who saved your handbag from the robbers today? He's so handsome! No wonder you insisted on treating him to a late-night snack!" the girl next to Liu Qianqian exclaimed, her eyes practically sparkling as she looked at him.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Liu Qianqian's face instantly flushed red, and she playfully tapped her friend's shoulder.
