Transmigrated into a lewd little pervert, the crazy boss's kiss made his legs weak.

Li Yaoyao got goosebumps all over and couldn't help but sigh to the system.

"I still prefer his rebellious side. This sudden change in him is a bit unusual..."

"...This kind of man who wants to be a dog is probably not my style."

【Then you two have finally found kindred spirits in your humble abode.】

His originally "heavy" love was truly difficult for others to bear.

The system's tone carried a subtle hint of sarcasm.

Just as Qi Yuge was about to kiss her, his phone rang again.

He hung up impatiently.

Then a video call popped up, and he glanced down at the caller ID on the screen and immediately ended it.

Then I called back.

Qin Lin's voice, distorted with despair, burst from the receiver.

"Where has the young master been gallivanting again! We've been waiting for you for an hour, you know that...?"

"Ouch! Crew cutie, don't grab my head..."

"Qi Yuge, if you don't come soon, these violent thugs are going to overturn the transport truck again! Hurry up!"

The background noise included the honey badger's distinctive hissing provocation, the clanging of the iron cage being rammed, and the distant screams of the little assistant.

Qin Lin finally let out a curse at the top of his lungs.

"You fucking come back here right now!"

Qi Yuge narrowed his eyes, his impatience at being interrupted written all over his face, and his voice returned to its usual coldness.

"You dare talk to me like that? You're asking for it!"

He hung up the phone and took a deep breath.

He released her, stood up, and straightened the collar of her disheveled clothes.

"I'll let you off this time."

Li Yaoyao heard Qin Lin's wailing on the other end of the phone, jumped down from the island platform, and asked while putting on her shoes.

"Where...where are you going?"

"You don't want me to leave?"

Qi Yuge looked down at her, and that carefree smile returned to his lips.

"I... I'll go with you. If any small animals get into trouble, I can help."

Li Yaoyao straightened her clothes and wiped her mouth.

Qi Yuge looked at her for a moment, then reached out and pinched her cheek.

Without saying a word, he turned around and picked up his car keys.

The rain fell intermittently, and the open space in front of the suburban resettlement site was turned into a muddy mess by the wheels of vehicles.

A medium-sized transport truck was parked crookedly at the entrance, its body covered in mud from its long journey. The truck bed door was half open, and neatly stacked cages could be vaguely seen inside.

Qin Lin's white coat was covered in mud and saliva from an unknown animal as he confronted a honey badger with a lasso.

The assistant, huddled behind the car using a piece of cardboard as a shield, spoke to Li Yaoyao in a tearful voice.

"It took all our work badges... Now it has five around its neck! What use are they to it?!"

The sun came out and the rain stopped, so the honey badger probably thought it was back to normal.

Seeing this, Li Yaoyao ran over.

As soon as the honey badger saw her, it spat out the hair tie from its mouth, jumped off the hood, and limped toward her.

Its tail was held high like a proud antenna.

Qin Lin took a deep breath, slammed the set bar on the ground, and pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses: "At least you have a conscience, you came too."

Li Yaoyao's arrival brought an end to the chaotic scene and allowed for the final cleanup.

Amidst the wind and rain, a group of tall, burly men were moving cages back and forth in the mud. Each cage was covered with a rainproof cloth, but through the gaps in the cloth, one could vaguely see the figures curled up inside.

After helping Qin Lin examine a springbok that had just been unloaded, Li Yaoyao stood on the edge of the awning, looking at the obviously irregular transportation scene in front of her, feeling a mix of emotions.

She couldn't help but say to the system, "I've made a huge sacrifice. This looks like a crime scene. I'm a law-abiding citizen, and now I'm an accomplice."

How did you come to the conclusion that the male lead was doing something bad? The manga doesn't go into detail about this storyline, but as far as I know, the male lead has a "white moonlight" (a term of endearment for a romantic partner) who is rescuing endangered animals in Africa.

Do you think what he's doing now might be related to that "white moonlight" (his ex-girlfriend/older sister)?

Li Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask for details when she was suddenly interrupted by a screeching sound of brakes.

Nearly ten black SUVs were parked in a row at the entrance of the resettlement site, their headlights shining directly onto the awning, casting long, distorted shadows of everyone.

The car doors opened in unison, and a dozen or so muscular men in black short-sleeved shirts got out, the leader of whom was a familiar face.

Shang Hesheng.

He was wearing a black tracksuit today, and the rain soaked his shoulders, but he was completely unaware.

A smile played on his lips as his gaze passed over the busy porters, over the neatly stacked cages, and finally landed on Qi Yuge.

"Young Master Qi, what a refined hobby! Instead of spending the middle of the night with your fiancée, you're here acting as an animal protection ambassador?"

Shang Hesheng strolled over slowly, followed by a dozen or so bodyguards who spread out in a fan shape, completely blocking the exit of the transport vehicle.

"This shipment wasn't declared upon entry, was it? If I call the Forestry Bureau now, does this shipment belong to you or the government?"

Qi Yuge handed the umbrella to the side, and Li Yaoyao instinctively took it.

He strode up to Shang Hesheng, his eyes filled with contempt.

"Wasn't the lesson you learned from losing to me last time enough? Have you forgotten that I already slaughtered your Arabian horse?"

Shang Hesheng's smile froze for a second.

Then he tilted his head, his gaze passing over Qi Yuge's shoulder and landing on the girl behind him who was holding an umbrella and cradling a honey badger in her arms.

Li Yaoyao held an umbrella in one hand and a honey pot in the other.

I just stared at them blankly.

Qi Yuge quickly blocked their gazes from meeting.

Shang Hesheng paused, then narrowed his eyes.

A meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

"When did Young Master Qi change his companions? His tastes are... much better than before."

"Will she be the next one to bet?"

Qi Yuge was so provoked by these words that he exploded at the slightest provocation.

I've wanted to beat this idiot up for ages.

He grabbed Shang Hesheng by the collar and pushed him back a step, then delivered a right hook punch directly to his chin.

Shang Hesheng dodged to the side, raised his knee to strike Qi Yuge's side, but was slapped away by Qi Yuge's palm.

His bodyguards stepped forward in unison, and the burly men carrying goods on Qi Yuge's side also put down the cages and stood up.

Two groups of people found themselves in a tense standoff in the heavy rain.

"Don't try to pin any dirty or malicious thoughts on me in the future."

Qi Yuge's voice was very low, almost inaudible due to the sound of the rain.

But that chilling, poison-laced aura was more intimidating than any roar.

"Get out. If you don't get out now, I'll shut down the rest of your transportation lines tomorrow."

"You can try and see if I can do it."

Shang Hesheng raised his hand to stop the bodyguards behind him.

He straightened his collar, which had been pulled askew, and the spot on his face where he had been punched was red, but he was still smiling.

He glanced at Li Yaoyao, who was completely terrified.

Then he turned around and disappeared into the rain with his men.

Just before getting into the car, he turned back and gestured with his chin toward Li Yaoyao, his lips moving slightly.

Li Yaoyao couldn't understand what he said.

But the honey badger suddenly bristled in her arms and let out its first real howl of the day in that direction.
