On more serious note the schedule is as follows: 3 regular chaps a week on Tuesday Thursday and Saturday + one sponsored chap on Sunday

“My mistress, must you really eat like this?” Shen Ming used both his hands to hold the cone of ice cream in front of him. While Dream Jade was instead using her fingertips to brush off the hairs that fell beside her ear, she was leaning over to eat some ice cream. She also licked it and bit it, and the melted liquid of the ice cream followed the cone shape as it dripped onto Shen Ming’s hand. The liquid was wet, and sticky….

“I’m just trying a bit, why are you so stingy?” When Dream Jade was speaking, she was even making a bubbling noise.

“Since you like it, I’ll just give it to you.” Shen Ming shoved the entire ice cream cone into Dream Jade’s hand.

“Why are you so nervous? Could it be that you’ve never experienced love before?” Dream Jade finally sat up and wiped the ice cream on her mouth off, her mouth almost numb with cold.

“I was busy for the past ten years, and I had no time to fall in love. But there was a girl who constantly called herself my wife. I don’t know whether or not that counts as love?” Shen Ming had already learnt how to fly a military airplane, yet he didn’t know how to control girls.

“Do you like her?” Dream Jade’s small face became nervous.

“I do like her, but I don’t love her. I treat her more like a friend, a partner, a battle companion.”

“Then why don’t you reject her?”

“Because I would get killed. I can’t beat her, and putting it nicely, I really don’t know how strong a person on this earth has to be to be able to beat her.

But we have already lost contact for half a year. She should’ve already died.” When Shen Ming said this, he felt that he was relieved from a burden.

This was the first time that Dream Jade thought she was a quite awful, because she actually felt happy for the death of someone else’s ‘wife’.

“Enough rest! Let’s have a second round of roller coasters! Roller coasters!” Dream Jade enthusiastically pulled Shen Ming and once again headed back to the area of the roller coasters...

At 8pm, Xiao Yi, who was wearing Bluetooth earphones, called Shen Ming’s handphone.

“Friend, I was working myself to death to help you find this assassin, and you spent the whole day having fun in the theme park?” Xiao Yi looked at Shen Ming’s activities via the ‘Soul Chaser’ app, and the feeling that she had gotten cheated spontaneously arrived.

“Have you found it?” Shen Ming sat in the back row of a taxi and looked out of the window. Dream Jade had already played until she was tired, so she wore the mask and rested her head on Shen Ming’s thigh, sleeping. Sitting in the front passenger seat,was that big grinning rabbit, which made the driver’s skin crawl.

“There are 5 suspicious characters. The top 4 all have the alibi of not being on site at the time. Only the last driver, called Zhao Qian, aged 28, weighing 90kg, matches the description you gave. I’m currently in the elevator on the way to his home.” Xiao Yi took out the gun on her waist and finally bore some resemblance to a detective.

“Be careful.” Shen Ming reminded.

“Don’t worry, other than you, are there any other men that can deal with me?” Xiao Yi said as she exited the lift.

It was an old building, the 8 flats per floor design was definitely a nightmare for office workers. Zhao Qian’s unit was easy to find. The gap beneath the wooden door was filled with advertisements saying, “无偿贷款[1]”, “包小姐[2]” and “重金求子[3]”. The gap was so filled that even cockroaches would have a hard time entering.

[2] Getting served by young women. Basically prostitution.

Note: I don’t know the English TLs and I’m not gonna ask or translate them… I’m getting enough heat as is on discord about being a smut TL.

All of which obviously signify that the owner has been away for a long time. Xiao Yi went forward and directly gave the door a reverse hook kick. Her 105cm long leg was like a sledgehammer as it kicked open the door with a bang.

After turning on the lights, Xiao Yi looked around the cramped apartment that made her hair stand. Leftover instant noodle boxes and garbage were piled up in a corner, and rats were currently having a feast. The bedding that smelt of mould which was thrown in a corner even had mushrooms growing out of it.

It was such an excellent otaku’s room, and yet the wall was filled with pictures and newspaper clippings of Dream Jade. From a corner, clippings of when she just debuted, to the entire page of her scandal, were posted. It was simply a madman’s hodgepodge of Dream Jade.

What’s even more terrifying was that on one wall, written in bright red, were the words, “DREAM JADE, I WANT TO DIE TOGETHER WITH YOU”.

“Hello? Are you still there?” Xiao Yi softly said.

“Yup, talk to me.”

“That guy’s very fucked up. I can’t say for certain, but those threatening letters are probably sent by him. Want to file a police report? I’ll have a friend write up a warrant.”

“No need. A bodyguard who calls the cops and a homo that looks for women are both equally laughable. You’ve already done enough. Just head back. I might reach there later than you.” As Shen Ming was talking, he was also looking at the sideview mirrors in front of him. The driver’s anxious face was reflected on them.

Noticing that Shen Ming had spotted him, the driver shrunk back his neck and quickly left the mirror’s line of sight.

“Really? But you look like you’re clearly faster than me.” Xiao Yi took out her phone and glanced at the GPS. Before she finished talking, Shen Ming had already hung up. “So secretive...no wait… could it be that that asshole is trying to get a room with the loli?!”

The story was not as Xiao Yi guessed. A taxi that was speeding along the coastal highway made a buzzing sound shortly after Shen Ming hanged up.

“Boss, does your engine have some problems?” Shen Ming asked with a smile.

“Oh, yes. There's always something wrong with it, wait for me to do a quick fix, then it'll be fine.” While the driver was speaking, he pulled the taxi into a downhill slope in a small road, “I’ll have to trouble you to wait, sorry.”

The fat driver skillfully opened the hood, and yet didn’t take action to repair the engine. His eyes were fixed on the crooked chisel next to the engine.

“Since you’re prepared to kill someone, then you should’ve prepared some decent toys. Penetration types of blunt weapons[4] like crooked chisels can’t hit vital areas and the wounds are easy to deal with. I know that it’s not easy to get guns in China, but tomahawk and serrated knives should be easier to get right?” Shen Ming was just like a ghost or a goblin as he leaned on the car. “Did I get that right? Zhao Qian.”
