Chapter 166: Surrender, Stop Struggling

Chapter 166: Surrender, Stop Struggling!

Do couples really stay sweet forever?

Who said that?

Come on, you step forward?

Xiao Yu really wanted to grab the Flame God Cannon and blast the person who said that.

Like right now…

“Little brother, you’re squashing my hair,” Mu Qingwu snapped angrily.

“I’m sorry.”

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes. “Sis, could you take your leg off me?”

“No!” Mu Qingwu protested while hugging her little brother.

…

Xiao Yu, at his wit’s end, said, “You can’t always rest your leg on me!”

“I’m just leaning my leg, so what?”

Mu Qingwu widened her mesmerizing eyes and glared at her little brother, “You think I’m fat?”

“Me?”

Xiao Yu, both amused and exasperated, replied, “I’m not saying you’re fat, sis. Besides, you’re not fat…”

“You do, though.”

An irate Mu Qingwu retorted, “You weren’t like this before. Back when we first slept together, you’d always say, ‘Oh, then let’s go with the ‘930’ deal.’ You’ve changed now. You’re not the same, and honestly, I love a man’s talk—unfortunately, they’re not to be trusted!”

Xiao Yu: …

His mind hadn’t caught up yet; he felt like he was dreaming.

But didn’t I actually say that before?

Alright then…

Holding his scheming sister, Xiao Yu felt something was off. “Seriously, who taught you? This change is way too fast—I can barely keep up!”

People don’t change that quickly.

Sis is a queen, a boss-level woman, a dignified lady—but not one to throw childish tantrums.

“Ha!”

Mu Qingwu burst into laughter, “I’m not telling you.”

“If I don’t sneak a couple of kisses, you wouldn’t know what a rascal is.”

Xiao Yu planted two forceful kisses and threatened, “Alright, spill it.”

“Little brother, I saw a computer yesterday with top-of-the-line specs.”

Mu Qingwu’s sparkling eyes twinkled, “Want one?”

“Uh…” Xiao Yu’s heart skipped a beat.

Is this what they call, as long as you work hard, even your future husband will still be in the game?

How annoying—am I doomed to yield to a rich lady’s long legs again?

No, I need to fight back… Xiao Yu put on a defiant look, “Extra flattery never…”

Mu Qingwu kissed her little brother, “I really, really like you!”

Surrender, stop struggling… Xiao Yu, exhausted, mumbled, “The graphics card has to be top-notch—no junk allowed!”

“Deal!” Mu Qingwu pulled her little brother into her arms.

With a sigh, Xiao Yu buried his face in his sister’s embrace.

Things were getting more troublesome—seems he was doomed to be controlled from now on…

Mom, just you wait.

Don’t think I don’t know you taught her.

So you really just picked her up?

Strange thing—back in childhood, how did Mom always beat me up?

To a mother, her son is always the best.

But then Mu Qingwu came into the picture—the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was unusually close.

Then, with the mother-in-law teaming up with her daughter-in-law, they both controlled the son.

Why though?

Imagine if I could transmigrate to a martial arts fantasy world.

You’d wake up as a young hero, only to lose control during training.

And then, the heroines would have their moments of self-sacrifice.

Submitting to the young hero, sacrificing the self for the greater good.

Under the care of the heroines, the young hero would be fully revived.

From then on, they’d be an inseparable divine couple…

Thumbs up!

“Dreaming of being an emperor again? You’re grinning mischievously,”

Grabbing her little brother’s ear, Mu Qingwu’s eyes blazed with anger.

“Absolutely not!”

Xiao Yu flatly denied, insisting, “I’m a proper person.”

Inside, he panicked a bit: women’s sixth sense is just too much!

The young couple laughed and played before falling asleep in each other’s arms…

…

A grave-robbing case escalated into a murder investigation.

It also implicated an old hit-and-run case.

And there was another tomb-raiding case involving two grave robbers.

Once this chain of cases surfaced, forget about even the Criminal Investigation Team.

The City Bureau leaders were left baffled.

The follow-up was no longer Xiao Yu’s problem; he handed the case off to the team and City Bureau.

Even if the work had to be split up, so what?

With four first-class merit medals, who needs a bicycle?

Four first-class merits?

Weren’t there three?

“Happy now?”

Wang Dong of the Criminal Investigation Team looked at his little bro, who was happily toying with his first-class merit medal, and said with mixed emotions, “The massive human trafficking case is closed—this is your reward.”

“Thanks, Brother Wang.”

Xiao Yu nodded cheerfully and reached out.

“What do you mean?” Wang Dong asked, clearly baffled.

“Really? You just showed up to deliver a medal, empty-handed?”

Xiao Yu feigned shock, “You didn’t even bring any Special Edition Cigarettes?”

Last time in Capital City, I met the Big Boss and even charmed five undercover agents for Wang Dong.

They were all smoked away!

They weren’t meant to burn through that quickly, but the Criminal Investigation Team is full of old smokers.

When they saw the Special Edition Cigarettes, some swiped a couple of sticks while others grabbed a box. How could you not share?

And then they were gone…

I must admit, cigarettes fit for agents are pretty good.

Damn it…

After hearing the little bro, Wang Dong rolled his eyes fiercely, “Are you serious? Each team leader only gets five a month, and I already gave you the last batch—you still want more?”

“Oh.”

Xiao Yu gave a half-smile before his tone turned sour. “Any other business, Brother Wang?”

“…”

Wang Dong almost spat out old blood.

That little bro is such a rascal!

Why did Xiao Yu flip his mood?

It wasn’t really a flip; he was just avoiding trouble.

Do I really need Brother Wang to personally deliver a first-class merit medal?

If there’s nothing urgent, would Brother Wang come see me?

Xiao Yu is the type whose every hair is full of cunning.

Are you serious about this?

“Five Special Edition sticks as a favor?” Wang Dong complained in exasperation.

“Oh dear, sorry. I’m off work now.”

Xiao Yu pretended to glance at his watch and said, “I promised sis I’d go pick her up.”

“Ten sticks, no more,” Wang Dong growled through gritted teeth.

“May our friendship last forever, as timeless as the sea and unyielding as stone!”

Xiao Yu, with utmost seriousness, grasped Wang Dong’s hand.

“That’s too much already!” Wang Dong was dumbfounded.

“So, what’s the case?” Xiao Yu’s expression turned serious.

The security bureau can’t crack this case—it’s too challenging; it’s a special case from the start.

Wang Dong, the leader of Group Two, handled only domestic cases.

Every case he took on in the past left Xiao Yu with a splitting headache.

Do you really think it’s that easy to crack at 3.9?

“Take a look first, then decide.”

Wang Dong handed Xiao Yu a special USB drive. “This case is dangerous. After you review it, decide if you want to take it on!”

Xiao Yu’s heart skipped a beat.

If even Wang Dong calls this case dangerous, what kind of case dares to show its face?

So Xiao Yu hesitated.

Yet, it piqued his curiosity.

Too much curiosity can be dangerous.

But for a detective, without curiosity, how do you solve cases?

Plugging the USB into his tablet, he deftly opened a folder.

The moment he opened the case file…

Xiao Yu: (￣□￣)

At the top of the file were five bold characters.

Murderous Syndicate Case!

After a long while.

When Xiao Yu came to his senses, he looked at Wang Dong with a bizarre expression.

His expression seemed to ask, ‘Have you watched too many movies? Are you messing with me?’
