Welcome to the Misogyny Game

The wind stopped, and all Liu Chaoque could hear was a faint rustling sound. The direction she was originally heading home was naturally deflected, and she stepped into an unknown alley.

The friction sound grew closer, but for some reason, he hesitated to make a move—was it to confirm something or something else?

Xu Wangchuan was drowsy, leaning on Liu Chaoque's shoulder with his eyes half-closed.

Even when she was almost at the alley entrance and saw the streetlight, the person following behind still didn't make a move.

Are you really going to let these people follow you home? Are you inviting trouble into your house?

Liu Chaoque scooped up Xu Wangchuan and ran frantically toward the police station. "Follow me! Follow me! You'll all end up in jail! You're all grown up, and instead of learning to behave, you're learning to stalk and kill? I'm done with this!"

"Brother, it seems this woman has spotted us?" The scarred man looked at the figure running ahead, somewhat at a loss.

"Ah."

"Should we still follow?" he asked.

"The mission above is to find Young Master Chong's whereabouts. Keep following him, just don't get shaken off," the man replied. But then the person following him disappeared around a street corner.

"Follow!"

"Yes!"

On a main street late at night, a figure swings his legs like a whirlwind, followed by a string of people hanging behind him.

"Police officer, police officer." Liu Chaoque put Xu Wangchuan down, rubbing his sore hand, and walked to the front desk of the police station with a look of fear, explaining that he had been followed.

"Don't be afraid, tell me the details." The male police officer poured her a glass of water, which Liu Chaoque drank in one gulp, and only then did she feel like she had come back to life.

"Yes, when my friend and I were walking on the street, I heard someone's footsteps, but when I turned around, there was no one there. I thought I had misheard, but I found that the footsteps did not disappear over time. I was so scared that I didn't dare to go home, so I ran here to you, police officer. I'm too scared to go home now."

In reality, the male police officers, who were in their early twenties, were likely a few years older than Liu Chaoque.

"Officer, do I look that old?" the male police officer said awkwardly.

"Ah." Liu Chaoque blinked, but the word "brother" was really hard to say. "Officer, please help me." She grabbed the male police officer's sleeve and pleaded sincerely.

Then the number of people taking Liu Chaoque home changed from one to one, because the police officers were not comfortable with Xu Wangchuan's drunken state, so they had someone take him home.

The rest of the journey was uneventful; perhaps those people realized they'd been tricked and left.

"Young man, I'll leave you here. You can go in now." The police officer's surname was Zhou, and his given name was Man. When he confirmed that Liu Chaoque really lived here, he said with great emotion, "Young man, the security here is really quite good."

"Hehe, Officer Zhou, you're envious, aren't you? Actually, I'm quite envious of myself too," Liu Chaoque said cheekily.

"Alright, go back to sleep. Remember to bring extra self-defense tools when you walk at night." Zhou Man still professionally gave some more precautions: "Try not to walk in dark alleys or narrow paths that are rarely used. If there is any problem, call the police immediately. Also, try to walk on main roads and places with cameras."

"Can I bring a one-meter-long knife?"

“It’s quite safe, but if you don’t know how to use it, it could become a weapon for criminals. I suggest you take a stick; it hurts when you hit someone, and you won’t get stabbed,” Zhou Man replied earnestly.

With a serious expression, Liu Chaoque smiled and said, "I understand, officer. Goodbye."

A policeman in his twenties shattered it gently.

……

The next day was another beautiful day. Liu Chaoque lay on a recliner, contemplating his next activities.

As it was Liu Chaoque's first summer vacation here, he hadn't experienced a life where he didn't have to do anything and could just lie down for a long time.

However, there was another employer at home. Although this employer was more generous and free than most bosses, Liu Chaoque had to do whatever the employer asked for in order to get paid.

For example, right now:

"Ahhh, monkeys! This great one is going to Mount Emei to see the monkeys!" He's impulsive and unpredictable.

"Monkeys of Mount Emei, choose between your bag and your hair?" Liu Chaoque was looking at the video scrolling through his phone. There was a video of a monkey stealing a bag and hitting a passenger. No, he had already seen it. Why was he looking for trouble?

"I can turn into a cat and fight them to see who wins and becomes the king. I, the great one, want to be the king of Mount Emei. I want to visit the nuns of Mount Emei. I want to check out Zhou Zhiruo's house."

It seems like something unsavory has infiltrated.

"You need to take a plane to Emei Mountain, right?" Liu Chaoque propped his head up with his hand. "But I don't have a passport yet."

"Idiot," Mu Li said. "You don't need a passport in China, just an ID card. But you should still get a passport sometime, in case your master wants to go abroad and you don't go, he'll get your salary docked."

So, on the fifth day of summer vacation, Liu Chaoque began to look up travel guides for Mount Emei and pack all the things he needed to bring, since the main purpose of going to Mount Emei was to climb the mountain and avoid wild monkeys, and most of the accommodations on the mountain were temples.

Sometimes you can see Taoist priests. It's a sad story. This place was originally a Taoist holy site, but after several changes of ownership, it has been taken over by Buddhism.

So Liu Chaoque didn't actually have much in her bag, except for essential toiletries and clothes, and the latest digital camera that had only arrived yesterday for taking photos. She had spent a long time trying to adjust the focus and resolution before she could even figure it out. (ps: Potter said he would teach her how to take better photos from different angles when he flew back, but for now, she could only have him teach her remotely.)

Thanks Potter, but we don't need this monkey hair souvenir, which could be a criminal offense. We can't exactly fight it while it's pulling our hair, can we? That would get us years in prison. *sigh*

"Have you finished packing? Our flight is this afternoon," Mu Li urged.

Liu Chaoque: "They're here, they're here."

She stuffed the newly bought stick into her pocket—it was an extendable one—thankful for Officer Zhou Man's help.

Only then did he pick up his somewhat heavy suitcase and walk towards the front door.

Since Mo Yun couldn't transform into human form yet, she put him in the food contract's private room. Now he's standing on the table, chasing his tail.

Sitting in the taxi on the way to the airport, Liu Chaoque looked at the scars on the back of his hand and recalled what had happened before.

She had tried to lure Liu Chaoque and his group out in the middle of the night, but failed repeatedly and lost patience. She went from being followed to being followed. On the night before their trip, Liu Chaoque fought these people with his bare hands and ended up knocking out one of their front teeth.

They all looked burly and strong, but they couldn't even last five moves against her, which disappointed her. No wonder they didn't dare to come forward even when she created opportunities for them.

The police car arrived quickly, and the officer who got out was none other than Officer Zhou Man, whom they had met last time. Seeing the burly man screaming and crying on the ground, and Liu Chaoque weeping with tears streaming down her face as she clutched the bleeding wound on the back of her hand.

How should this be judged? It's actually quite easy to judge.

Two police cars were dispatched; one took the seriously injured to the hospital, and the other took those with less serious injuries to the police station.

Upon investigation, it was discovered that these men all had criminal records, the least serious of which were wanted criminals with a reward of 2 yuan.

The highest is 500,000.

Even without that reason, the fact that a group of burly men were following a young girl at night speaks volumes. If you say a young girl is following burly men, then why are so many of you staying up all night? Are you planning to cause trouble?

And with your physiques, especially the little girl's physique, is it like a rabbit trying to bite an elephant, or an ant trying to shake a tree?

Officer Zhou Man severely criticized Liu Chaoque's risky behavior and verbally warned her against doing such dangerous things. However, seeing her pitiful appearance, the harsh words stuck in his throat and became:

Zhou Man: "This lady, have you reflected on your current behavior?"

Liu Chaoque: "Waaah, officer, I know I was wrong, I won't do it again..."

Zhou Man: "Yes, it's good to be brave in fighting against evil forces, but we still need to pay attention to our own safety."

Liu Chaoque: "I know, boohoo, my hand hurts so much."

Zhou Man: "Cough, I'll take you to the hospital to get checked out."

The female lead is perfect in everything she does, and the pitiful, limited-time female lead is also super beautiful.

After Zhou Man paid Liu Chaoque's medical bills and confirmed that her hand had recovered well and would not leave a scar, he was relieved. However, he had not yet mentioned the most important reward.

Sitting in the hospital corridor, Liu Chaoque looked at the 200 million yuan reward mentioned in the chat interface, which would be deposited into her account in a few business days. She had discovered a strange way to earn extra money.

Why not learn from the male protagonists in novels and memorize the appearances of wanted criminals?

The two got out of the taxi and headed straight for the station entrance. However, during the luggage and personal belongings inspection, they made a minor blunder. Her telescopic baton was mistaken for some kind of firecracker or candle and almost had to be checked in.

Actually, things were a little worse. Looking at the girls' complicated expressions, Liu Chaoque suspected that they originally wanted to say something else rather presumptuous.

"I didn't, I didn't, don't even think about it!" Liu Chaoque put his phone on airplane mode, took out the book he had brought with him to avoid being bored, and gently covered his face with it. He was too ashamed to show his face!

"So what?" Mu Li, sitting by the window, was exasperated by her hesitation. He pointed to the scenery outside and said, "The plane is about to take off. You really don't want to switch seats with me? Just because it's your first time on a plane, do you think I'll reluctantly give you the window seat? It won't be available after that, okay?"

"As you rise from the ground, you will see the city shrink little by little until it becomes a tiny dot. You will see rows of birds flying, watching them flap their wings and fly into the distance. Of course, you will see clouds, as always, floating around you. Then you will rise higher and higher until even the clouds drift away from you. When you look down, the clouds are at your feet."

"Aren't you going to take a look? If you miss it, you'll have to come back a second time, but I think the first time is the most exciting." Mu Li said slowly, holding the book.

"I'll change." So, Liu Chaoque quickly composed herself and sat down by the window. She pressed her face against the window and watched the plane take off and soar into the sky.

"Ugh, ugh." Standing in the sink, Liu Chaoque washed his hands, dried them with a tissue, and then blew his nose. Conan told us that we should try not to eat food from strangers on airplanes, and that we should wash and dry our hands before doing anything, even if we are eating food from acquaintances.

This is a very educational anime. Liu Chaoque, who has never been on a plane before, never expected that the way the anime helped to alleviate ear discomfort caused by the imbalance of internal and external air pressure due to altitude difference would actually be quite useful.

Just then, someone nearby shared some chocolates with them; they were individually wrapped and looked like they had just been opened.

"Thank you." Liu Chaoque picked up a chocolate and put it in his mouth.

After everyone left, she vomited into the trash bag provided by the plane. Looking at the bag, she wondered, "Should I get it tested when I get off the plane?"

She was genuinely frightened by Conan's actions, but Chinese pilots wouldn't risk being fired just because a visitor was famous to open the main engine compartment door.

Safety is still guaranteed...

Before she could finish her remark, the airplane's loudspeaker announced: "We have an emergency announcement. A patient in first class has suffered a sudden heart attack. Is there a doctor available? Please come to first class."

Liu Chaoque covered his face, wondering why his first flight had been so eventful.

Whether the heart attack patient in the first-class cabin received any help is unknown. Liu Chaoque was almost driven to the brink of collapse by this altitude sickness. It's not like a normal protagonist can just sneeze or clear their nose and be fine. Why was her suffering from continuous tinnitus? Finally, when they landed and her feet touched solid ground, Liu Chaoque felt like she was about to be moved to tears.

Maybe next time she flies, she should buy some chewing gum; she really can't stand sneezing all the time.

After leaving the airport, the two of them were scorched by the blazing sun, their faces flushed. Liu Chaoque, as if running from poison gas, quickly opened an umbrella and pulled Mu Li towards a shady spot.

Standing at the door of someone's house, Liu Chaoque wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shall we go hiking now?" Liu Chaoque asked.

"Emmm." Mu Li looked up at the blazing sun on the horizon. "How about we go to the guesthouse first?"

Considering the inconvenience of living in a temple, mainly the inability to eat meat and the mosquito bites on the mountain, Mu Li was also afraid that he would argue with the monks, on the grounds that he could not kill living beings. Can mosquitoes be considered living beings? They are a menace. She wondered how the monks prevented mosquitoes from biting them. Did they just let them suck their fill?

I'm actually quite curious.

Mu Li resolutely refused to take the bus if she could take a Didi (ride-hailing service), mainly because of the waiting time, and also because she asked, "Are you better from your airsickness?"

"Oh, I was thinking of walking there myself." Liu Chaoque said with a deadpan expression.

“Three kilometers, sister. Even if you walk until your legs break, you still can’t walk that far. Do you think you can manage to walk in this blazing sun with a suitcase? I certainly can’t,” Mu Li said speechlessly.

“What you said makes a lot of sense.” Sitting in the taxi, Liu Chaoque sent messages to Xu Wangchuan and Potter. Well, not a group message.

Man: "We've arrived."

Wangchuan: "Mm."

Liu: "I'm in mount emei in Si Chan!"

Potter: "That's great.Have a nice day!"

Xu Wangchuan's somewhat cold attitude was, of course, due to certain well-known reasons.
