The Secret to Picking Up Girls

Zhang Yuze closed the computer window, feeling very depressed. He had seen a news item on the local forum about a foreign company boss who had raped and murdered a thirteen-year-old girl, and had even been released on bail due to insufficient evidence. The investigator in charge was none other than his own sister, Wang Qian, the deputy captain of the Criminal Police Brigade of the XC District Public Security Bureau. This made Zhang Yuze very angry. Of course, his anger wasn't directed at his sister Wang Qian, but at the reality of this society. Knowing Wang Qian, Zhang Yuze knew that she wasn't the type to protect criminals. She must have been under some pressure, or perhaps there really wasn't enough solid evidence to hold the person. Now that the legal system is becoming more and more sound, although it has greatly helped to protect the rights of citizens, it has also allowed some wealthy and powerful people to exploit more loopholes in the law.

"老大 (Lǎodà - Boss/Leader), forget it! The current laws are all geared towards the rich. You know 'Li Gang', right? He's a representative of these kinds of people. His son hit someone with his car, and isn't he still swaggering around outside?" Wang Kaijun shook his head and patted Zhang Yuze's shoulder, trying to comfort him.

"If society really becomes like this, isn't that our tragedy?" Zhang Yuze sighed, suddenly feeling very irritable. Although Zhang Yuze didn't care much about national affairs, he was a very righteous person, and he always felt angry when he saw unfair things.

"老大 (Lǎodà - Boss/Leader), things aren't as bad as you think, but you also have to see that this is how society is now. In 天朝 (Tiāncháo - Heavenly Dynasty, a common reference to China), it's impossible to truly achieve equality for everyone, and the law is sometimes just a tool for a few people," Wang Kaijun said, sighing as he looked at Zhang Yuze, his expression seemingly full of emotion.

Zhang Yuze nodded slightly, sighed at Wang Kaijun, and said with some helplessness, "Maybe you're right!"

Suddenly, Lin Kunhong walked in from outside the dormitory and said mysteriously to Zhang Yuze, "老大 (Lǎodà - Boss/Leader), there's a MM (měimèi - pretty girl) looking for you." As he spoke, he winked at Zhang Yuze, his expression very ambiguous.

Zhang Yuze felt very strange. Who would be looking for him at this time? Just as he was about to ask who it was, a MM (měimèi - pretty girl) strode in from outside the dormitory.

Zhang Yuze took a closer look and saw that the MM (měimèi - pretty girl) was none other than Zheng Jie, the instructor of the martial arts club. Zhang Yuze saw that she was also carrying a bag in her hand, obviously a training uniform. There were still some un-wiped sweat stains on her face, clearly indicating that she had just returned from the martial arts club.

For some reason, seeing her made Zhang Yuze feel a little embarrassed. Perhaps it was because their behavior that night was too ambiguous! Although Zheng Jie's consciousness was quite blurred, Zhang Yuze actually felt a little guilty.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Yuze looked at Zheng Jie, stood up, and scratched his head.

"Can… can you come out with me for a moment?" Zheng Jie looked at Zhang Yuze somewhat shyly, and then glanced at Wang Kaijun and the others behind Zhang Yuze. She seemed a little apprehensive. Her expression at this time was very different from her usual self.
