Chapter 238: Big Boss is Furious

Chapter 238 – Big Boss is Furious

“Sis, get up.”

“Get up, get up, get up… Aren’t we supposed to be heading to the office today?”

“Mu Qingwu, I’ve been calling you forever! You were the one who wouldn’t get up.”

“If you end up late and miss the shareholders meeting, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

Gazing at Mu Qingwu, who slept soundly like a little cat in his arms, Xiao Yu smiled tenderly.

If there were a mirror nearby, he’d undoubtedly see a childish face staring back.

“Alright, I’m up!”

Mu Qingwu extended her graceful arm, embracing her mischievous little brother, and opened her luminous eyes. “Carry me to wash up.”

“At your command!”

Carrying his sister, Xiao Yu got out of bed and made his way to the bathroom.

After showering, the couple changed: Mu Qingwu dressed like a caring mom as she helped Xiao Yu, the big brother, adjust his clothes.

They then headed downstairs.

Bright and early, bodyguard Bai Ting, who had already prepared breakfast, watched them with a smile.

The young couple blushed as they eagerly enjoyed Bai Ting’s cooking, their eyes lighting up in delight.

Xiao Yu beamed, thinking he’d never have to cook again.

But when he caught Mu Qingwu giving him a playful half-smile, his mood instantly soured.

Great, looks like I’ll be cooking for sis for life…

After finishing the shareholders meeting at the office, Xiao Yu found himself feeling bored.

“Sis, wanna play a game?”

“Not really.”

“Just once?”

“…What kind of game?”

“I’ll show you… hehe!”

Two minutes later.

With the air of a domineering CEO, Xiao Yu sat in the boss chair, giving his sister a look through his eyes.

“Seeing you so idle, I’m handing over my affiliated Gold Card.”

Mu Qingwu stifled her laughter, feigning a dizzy state as she produced a card and handed it to Xiao Yu. “Go have some fun!”

“Are you teaching me how to work?”

Xiao Yu, puffing up with pride, declared, “Remember, from now on you’ll do exactly as I say, got it?”

“So handsome.”

With her hands pressed to her heart, Mu Qingwu suppressed a laugh. “I can’t help but admire my little brother’s backbone… ugh—”

“Ugh!”

Xiao Yu stared in disbelief at his sister, who had doubled over in nausea.

Seriously, is this game supposed to be this disgusting?

Indeed, Mu Qingwu vomited.

It wasn’t that his antics had repulsed her—it was just that she felt unwell.

Terrified, Xiao Yu scooped up his sister and dashed out of the office, driving her to the hospital for a check-up.

He even called his dad, mom, and mother-in-law along the way.

Soon, both families gathered at the hospital, anxiously awaiting Mu Qingwu’s test results.

The verdict… morning sickness, all normal!

Everyone: …

The young couple’s faces turned beet red as they lowered their eyes.

Unable to meet the gaze of their elders.

So embarrassing, so shameful!

But you can’t really blame them.

It was all a first-time experience for them…

……

“Wang, what are you doing here?”

Just as Xiao Yu got home, Wang Dong showed up, much to his surprise.

Not only did he appear, he also handed Xiao Yu two small red boxes.

Xiao Yu already had four such red boxes.

Each one held a First-Class Merit Medal.

“The cases from the Murderous Group and the Human Skin Wax Figure?”

Opening the boxes, Xiao Yu admired the First-Class Merit Medals inside, his expression filled with mixed emotion.

He now had six First-Class Merits!

“Mm.”

Wang Dong nodded gravely. “Big Boss wants you to head to Capital City; your honor requires a second award ceremony… a promotion!”

For three First-Class Merits, he was awarded a Second-Level Outstanding Police Honor.

For five, another Second-Level Outstanding Police Honor followed.

For six, he was promoted to a First-Level Outstanding Police Honor.

This awarding is no joke; you must go to Capital City!

Furthermore, the head of the Police Department, Big Boss himself, will see you personally.

Similar to National Security, the two major departments are on equal footing and relatively independent.

Although National Security also handles domestic cases, they aren’t Xiao Yu’s direct superiors.

“This time, it’s your police department boss who wants to see you.”

Wang Dong’s expression turned oddly amused. “He… seems really angry!”

Xiao Yu: …

Why would the Police Department’s Big Boss be angry?

The answer is simple.

What is Xiao Yu’s profession?

Police!

And so?

Xiao Yu is always off helping National Security crack cases.

Imagine having someone on your team who neglects their own duties to handle others’ work—it’d infuriate any boss!

But Xiao Yu is just lucky.

The head of the Police Department had been on a half-working, half-resting regimen for months while recuperating.

He was getting old and nearing retirement.

He hadn’t paid much attention to a guy like Xiao Yu.

He was unaware of all Xiao Yu had been up to.

Upon returning from his recuperation,

Big Boss discovered that one of his subordinates had earned six First-Class Merits.

He was completely stunned.

A check revealed that National Security had been eyeing Xiao Yu, planning to poach him.

Big Boss was furious.

“What the heck? With King Wild absent, you dare to steal from our family?”

How could he tolerate that?

A phone call was made to the head of National Security.

Two old men nearly got into a fight over Xiao Yu!

Wang Dong, arriving to deliver the medals, obviously knew what was going on.

He called Xiao Yu ahead of time, just to give him a heads-up.

Why did Wang Dong deliver the medals?

Because almost all of the cases through which Xiao Yu earned his First-Class Medals were handled by National Security!

“Don’t tell me… You sold me out?”

Xiao Yu’s cunning mind immediately understood as he shot Wang Dong a sidelong glance.

“Definitely not.”

Wang Dong spread his arms. “Why don’t you go see your big boss and find out?”

“Do you really think I dare to go now?”

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes, nearly ready to curse.

“A First-Level Outstanding Police Honor isn’t something you can just refuse.”

Wang Dong, his face a study in envy and bitter sarcasm, added, “Since you’re on leave, come to Capital City with me.”

Xiao Yu: …

He could only grumble to Mu Qingwu in resignation.

However, this time, his sister wouldn’t be accompanying him.

Pregnant women shouldn’t fly; even high-speed trains can be too exhausting.

She was to wait obediently at home as Xiao Yu and Wang Dong boarded a flight to Capital City.

At Capital City Airport,

Xiao Yu spotted a Big Red Flag waiting outside.

“That’s the boss’s car.”

Wang Dong couldn’t help but let out a hint of schadenfreude.

“……”

Xiao Yu then saw a middle-aged man in a suit approaching.

“Comrade Xiao Yu, right?”

The man smiled and said, “Big Boss sent me to pick you up.”

Wang Dong waved his little brother off.

With a nervous heart, Xiao Yu climbed into the Red Flag car…
