Cheng Mian'an was a pure-hearted college student who had just graduated. One day, he got drunk and ended up in bed with a man he didn't know.
The man was handsome, and he was good in bed.
But the problem was... he was a man! And Cheng Mian'an was straight!
Fuming, Cheng Mian'an threw down some cash, then viciously stole the man's cat.
Later, his roommate told him that a local crime boss had posted a missing-cat notice: ten thousand for information, and a full million for finding the cat!
Cheng Mian'an eagerly checked it out, but the moment he saw the photo, his vision went dark and he almost fainted.
Wasn't that the shirtless guy!
His roommate added, "That guy's family is rich and powerful. They have connections on both sides of the law. Murder and arson are nothing to them!"
Cheng Mian'an's voice turned hoarse. "Then... what about cat theft?"
His roommate laughed heartily. "What else? If the cat thief doesn't want to die, he'd better pack up and hide overseas!"
Clutching the cat, Cheng Mian'an gave a bitter smile.jpg
He couldn't afford to leave the country, so he scrambled home.
Two years later, Cheng Mian'an was in the middle of a heated argument with his boss and getting a little parched when someone handed him a glass of water.
He snatched it up angrily, thinking, Whoever this is, at least they know how to read the room. He thanked them out of habit. Then he caught sight of the person out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. He choked, spraying water all over his boss's head.
Xu Meng'en set three new brooms to work after taking office, overhauling the leadership. With his impressive talent for sucking up, Cheng Mian'an rose along with them and successfully became Xu Meng'en's lackey and sidekick.
Not long after taking office, Xu Meng'en posted a missing-cat notice. It was much the same as before, except for one new detail: a bounty...
The post included a photo of a person skulking around with their face covered. The caption read: "Ten thousand for information on this thief."
Cheng Mian'an swallowed. "Bro, what are you going to do if you find this person?"
Xu Meng'en sneered. "What am I going to do? Make his life a living hell."
Oh, heavens! So this is what they mean by escaping the first day of the lunar month but not the fifteenth!
Cheng Mian'an felt like he was walking on a knife's edge every day. One day, he finally couldn't take it anymore and decided to quit!
But Xu Meng'en used a jade pendant to tie his feet together and smiled softly. "Running away? Where do you think you're going?"
Cheng Mian'an trembled, feeling a chill run down his backside.
Horrified, he hurriedly crawled forward. "Good buddy! Don't do this!"
You're a decent guy, but my butt matters more!
"Too late."
*The love interest isn't really a local crime boss.
According to Cheng Mian'an, a front-line witness providing an immersive account...
