Chapter 005: Crimson Heart

Just as Wang Bo's mind was racing, analyzing the situation, Yazi clapped her hands and said, "Alright, since Mr. Wanming is fine, we'll be going now."

Wang Bo quickly stopped Yazi and Chunli. "Please wait, both of you."

"Is there anything else, Mr. Li?" Yazi stopped and asked.

Chunli also looked at Wang Bo with a surprised expression.

"Uh... actually, it's like this. Just now, you two were worried about me, weren't you?" Wang Bo had called out to the two women because he wanted to probe further into what was going on with Chun-Li.

What exactly was different about this Chun-Li from the one in his memory.

So as the two women were about to leave, he subconsciously called out to them.

As for an excuse, Wang Bo had already thought of one by the time he called out to the two women.

Superman's evolutionary direction was not limited to his body but encompassed all aspects, which naturally included his brain. For instance, the Silver Age Superman could master a foreign language after just a few seconds of conversation. He learned all known languages on Earth and acquired knowledge of the 28 known galaxies.

As for the New 52 Superman, he read all published medical books within five minutes, mastering knowledge that would take an ordinary person ten years to learn.

Wang Bo's reasoning ability was average, but his brain's computational power had advanced by leaps and bounds, and his thinking speed was beyond ordinary people, allowing him to come up with over a hundred suitable excuses in the blink of an eye.

Yazi nodded and said, "That's right. I just saw you lying in the sun for a long time, and I was a bit worried. But now it seems my worry was unnecessary. Mr. Play-for-Keeps, your body is in very good shape."

Wang Bo said, "How could it be unnecessary? To be honest, I'm very grateful to you two. Before this, we had never met, yet you were willing to lend me a helping hand. How should I put it? I am truly grateful to you both."

Yazi said with a look of complete naturalness, "This is what we should do; protecting citizens is also our duty as police officers."

Wang Bo snapped his fingers and said, "That's it, it's this attitude of yours that I admire, so I want to make friends with you two and treat you to a drink. What do you two ladies think?"

"Making friends is fine, but drinking is unnecessary." Yazi shook her head and refused Wang Bo without hesitation.

Chun Li nodded and said, "That's right, neither of us likes to drink."

Wang Bo said, "Alright, no alcohol. How about cola? To be honest with you two, I've got a special cola that's completely different from what's on the market. It's called Crystal Cola, and its taste far surpasses any cola you can buy. It's absolutely delicious. Would you two be willing to give it a try?"

Upon hearing Wang Bo say this, the two women immediately felt he was boasting and couldn't help but find it amusing. They also had some understanding of why he was bragging like this.

In fact, the two women were still somewhat confident in their figures and looks.

When ordinary men saw the two of them, they would all be very attentive.

They had long grown accustomed to this attitude.

Even if they had no intention of flirting, their looks alone would still attract a swarm of men buzzing around them.

As for this type of person, the two women had long since made their stance clear.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Wanming, but the truth is the two of us still have important matters to attend to, so we probably won't be able to go to your place to taste the super delicious crystal cola. Please forgive us."

Yazi refused Wang Bo in a serious manner.

Wang Bo heard this, but was not angry. Instead, he glanced at the two women and revealed a look of sudden realization. "I understand. You two think I'm lying, don't you?"

Yazi and Chunli exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"Mr. Daredevil, we..."

"No need to explain, I understand, I understand. Two ladies as beautiful as you must have encountered many men who fawn over you in your daily lives, so you subconsciously lumped me in with that group, right."

Wang Bo interrupted the two women's explanations, putting on an expression of understanding and reasonableness.

But this only made the two women even more embarrassed.

Wang Bo continued, “I admit, Miss Meizi and Miss Chunli are indeed one in ten thousand—no, one in a hundred thousand beauties. However, I invited you two not because of your looks. In fact, I invited you to sincerely thank you for what you did just now.”

"But we didn't help," Chun-Li said sheepishly.

"That's not how you should put it," Wang Bo said seriously. "Neither of you knew I was fine before you acted, did you?"

Yazi nodded.

Wang Bo said, "That's the point. This is very precious. If something had happened to me, wouldn't you two be my lifesavers? So I want to thank you both and invite you to share my collection. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Yazi and Chunli were left speechless.

After all, neither of them were women skilled in eloquent speech; they preferred practical action over mere words.

"Alright, since you've put it that way, I'll go and taste the treasures you speak of." Yazi saw that Wang Bo's hospitality was hard to refuse and finally nodded in agreement.

Chunli saw Yako agree and nodded her assent as well.

Wang Bo broke into a broad grin. "Then I thank the two beauties for gracing me with your presence."

More than ten minutes later, Yazi and Chunli took off their swimsuits, changed into casual clothes, and appeared before Wang Bo.

Yazi wore a white blouse and jeans, along with a pair of sunglasses, and was dressed very fashionably.

Chunli, meanwhile, was wearing a blue patterned qipao, making her look even more like the Chunli in Wang Bo's memory.

"By the way, where is your home?" Yazi took out a car key and said, "My car is nearby."

"No need." Wang Bo thought for a moment, then pointed at a villa in the distance and said, "That's my home."

Yazi and Chunli were taken aback.

"A villa in Repulse Bay—I never would have guessed you're actually super rich." Yazi's eyes flickered. Her own family background wasn't bad either, but precisely because of that, she knew what kind of people could afford to buy a villa there.

Is there a tycoon in Hong Kong Island called Daredevil?

"What kind of rich man am I? Just a nouveau riche, that's all." Wang Bo smiled faintly and led the way.

"A nouveau riche? That means you've come into a windfall." Ya Zi was quite surprised.

"That's right."

"Horse racing or the Mark Six? But as far as I know, there hasn't been any big prize in Hong Kong recently." In Yazi's memory, even winning the Mark Six wouldn't be enough to buy a villa in Repulse Bay.

"No, I just sold a ruby the size of a fist," Wang Bo said.

"A ruby the size of a fist?" Yazi felt that this seemed very familiar.

Chun Li suddenly realized, "Crimson Heart."
