105 Can’t Blame Anyone Else
When Wang Heng returned to the dormitory in a daze, he found that his roommates had all gone to class, leaving only the hamster, who openly mocked him:
“I told you to refuse, now look what happened? After going around in circles, you still have to agree, and you’ve raised Ye Xun’s affection right from the start. Impressive tactics!”
Wang Heng sat on the chair, staring at the little guy in the cage, and said, “What if I still refuse?”
The hamster retorted, “Do you dare?”
Wang Heng hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
That’s right, he didn’t dare. If he still refused this time, what would happen? Maybe Ye Xun would give up and stop looking for a tutor, and then what? With the pressure from her family and her studies, maybe something else would happen at school?
He asked, “Since I’ve agreed to her, there won’t be any more accidents in the future, right?”
The hamster pondered, “Depends on your performance… Not wanting to be yandere-d while also protecting her, this will really test your skills.”
Wang Heng: “Then what if I let someone else tutor her instead of me? Would that work?”
The hamster: “Who do you want to send? Han Yixuan?”
Imagining that scene, Wang Heng shook his head. “Might be a bit dangerous. Then, what if I let Fengjia Miaomiao go?”
The hamster said leisurely, “Leaving aside whether the vice president is willing or not, even if she goes, would Ye Xun be willing? She said it herself, for tutoring, it has to be you.”
“It’s my fault. After I rejected her, I should have immediately introduced her to a reliable tutor…” Halfway through his deep reflection, Wang Heng suddenly came to his senses and realized another potential risk. “Wait a minute. Han Yixuan’s car accident, Pei Ningle’s kidnapping, and now this with Ye Xun. So next, is it Lu Qi’s turn?”
The hamster: “Have you rejected Lu Qi and forcibly disappeared from her life now?”
Wang Heng: “I tried, but failed… Wait, if I had really succeeded in resigning that day, what would have happened then? Lu Qi is a senior programmer, a proper elite middle class. What kind of accident could happen to her?”
The hamster said with profound meaning, “Who knows? Why don’t you try and see?”
Wang Heng immediately shook his head. He could see that his attempts to withdraw would basically inevitably cause unexpected trouble. Sitting by and doing nothing was of course impossible, but as long as he got involved, the consequence would be forced affection farming.
“Forget it. Since it’s already come to this, I might as well finish what I want to do. Mr. Administrator, could you please reveal which detention center that scumbag named Xiao Wenbin will be held in?”
The hamster immediately asked, “What do you want to do now?”
“I told you, starting with three years isn’t enough, and the police can’t induce him to commit further crimes. In that case, I’ll just help him cause some trouble…”
“I remind you, this is a society ruled by law.”
Wang Heng smiled. “That’s right. I won’t break the law. From beginning to end, I’ve been an honest, law-abiding citizen. If Xiao Wenbin suddenly finds an opportunity to escape from the detention center and roam the world, and then does something irreversible, he can’t blame me, right?”
After calm analysis, the hamster suddenly became alert. “Don’t tell me you want me to run errands again!”
Wang Heng: “Anyway, you won’t die or get caught, right?”
The hamster: “…”

Xiao Wenbin sat in the cell of the detention center, looking at the men around him who looked like gang bosses, shivering.
“I heard you kid came in for buying knockout drops and attempting a crime?” a man asked maliciously.
Xiao Wenbin shuddered, and only one thought was in his mind—how did these people know? Didn’t the police promise not to reveal it to these temporary cellmates?
Another man asked, “Is your grapevine reliable?”
“Look at how cowardly he is, it must be! Damn, I hate this kind of person the most!”
Another man said this and approached him.
Xiao Wenbin shrank into the corner and screamed, “Help! Here… Mmph…”
As soon as he shouted, two men rushed over and gagged him together.

At three in the morning, Xiao Wenbin lay on the bunk closest to the squat toilet, staring blankly at the moon outside the window.
Desolate and cold.
Just then, a slight sound came from beside his ear. Xiao Wenbin subconsciously turned his head and saw an agile figure less than the size of a palm flash past the corner of the wall, leaving a small object in its place.
That thing looked like… keys?
Xiao Wenbin shuddered, but didn’t make a rash move. The ‘might’ of those big brothers in the same cell made him really afraid to act rashly.
After listening carefully for a long time and confirming that there were only the sounds of the big brothers snoring around him, and no one had woken up or noticed him, Xiao Wenbin finally sat up, quietly reached out, and picked up the object in the corner.
Sure enough, they were keys, and not just one, but three.
One key was marked with the number 【21】, which shocked him greatly—wasn’t this cell number 21!
The other two keys were not marked, but it could be seen that they were of different specifications. It seemed… they were used to open metal barred doors?
He immediately lay back in his original position and hid all the keys in his underwear. But on second thought, his underwear seemed particularly unsafe, so he simply held them in his hand, gripping them tightly.
Xiao Wenbin thought hard for a long time and finally came up with a seemingly reasonable explanation for the appearance of these keys—probably, some big brother in the cell got the keys, hid them in a corner, and then they were dug out by a rat, right?
So, should he break out?
Imagining the consequences of breaking out, he was timid. But on second thought, before the court verdict came down, he could only stay in this cell filled with might, which seemed even worse than death… No, he had to be brave for once!
Xiao Wenbin couldn’t sleep anymore. He lay with his eyes open for an hour or two and finally sat up again.
He walked to the door, stuck the key in, and tried to turn it. The next moment, the door actually opened!
If not run now, then when?
Pulling open the door and running out towards freedom, the hot-blooded youth was fearless!
He also tried the key on the second door at the end of the corridor, and sure enough, it opened too.
The scale of this detention center was not large. Besides the doors of each cell and this big iron gate, there was only the main gate of the detention center further out. It was just that he had to be careful of the armed police on duty during this process. They were armed with guns, so he couldn’t be careless.
Xiao Wenbin pulled the big iron gate open a crack with all his might, and with the strength of nine bulls and two tigers, he finally squeezed through.
Freedom, freedom was right ahead!
Leaving the building, Xiao Wenbin carefully avoided the attention of the armed police on duty and finally arrived at the main gate of the detention center. But at this moment, facing the last door, he was dumbfounded.
This gate, it seemed… the keyhole shape was wrong?
Then what was the third key for?
Just then, a blinding beam of light shone on his head.
“Hands up!”
The roar of the armed police made Xiao Wenbin freeze instantly.
At this moment, Xiao Wenbin didn’t notice that on the wall not far away, a small hamster was staring at him, crossing its legs, cracking melon seeds with relish.
