Chapter 570: The Man Who Can Rally the Troops
by xennovelBook Chapter 570: The One Who Summons with a Wave (Update 3)
Outside the F City Bureau. Lin
With a calm demeanor, Xiao Yu watched as Gu Qixiao was escorted onto a military vehicle by a squad of fully armed soldiers.
Not bad… such a simple phrase.
Smiling, Xiao Yu refrained from comment—nor did he have the right to judge others…
“No need to say thanks any further,” he remarked.
Guo Cheng, the military representative from the Ordnance Factory, approached Xiao Yu with a grave expression. “Let us know if you need our help in the future.”
“You’re too kind,” he replied.
Xiao Yu smiled and nodded as he shook hands before glancing over at Zhao Long. “Zhao, if you get a chance, come hang out with me.”
Zhao Long: …
His lips twitched violently.
Hang out with Little Brother?
“Cut the crap already,” he muttered.
It seemed that every case with Xiao Yu involved high stakes.
The first case: body smuggling.
The second: human trafficking.
The third: the Assassin Group.
The fourth: Terrorist Cells.
The fifth: mercenaries entering the country.
The sixth case…
“Oh my god, each case is bigger than the last. Who would want to play with you?”
“Am I out of my mind or what?!”
Zhao Long now deeply felt Wang Dong’s unease toward Xiao Yu.
This wasn’t just a series of explosive escapades.
“This guy is an absolute jinx!”
“Forget it, let’s team up again in the future,” he said.
Zhao Long forced an awkward, Zen-like smile onto his stern face.
With all this posturing, he’s asking for trouble… Xiao Yu’s mind was filled with his own shortcomings.
“Look how scared he made the little bro look.”
At least, one wouldn’t suspect Zhao Long’s underlying apprehension.
Xiao Yu felt it was time to lay low.
The world was too cold.
Only his sister’s embrace could bring him warmth…
After bidding Zhao Long farewell, Xiao Yu and Wang Dong headed toward the Armed Helicopter.
This event was too big; they had to head to the Capital City.
Along the way, noticing that Wang Dong was lost in thought, Xiao Yu curiously asked, “What’s up, Wang?”
“It’s nothing, just pondering something,” Wang replied.
Wang Dong turned his head, giving Little Brother an oddly intense look. “Do you think there might come a day when you become the Big Boss, leading us around and causing mayhem wherever we go?”
His expression grew even more amusing.
A mingled look of 30% fear, 30% dread, 30% grievance, and 10% pity…
Yeah, in short, that’s the complicated mix.
“Man, you’re a bit too extreme, brother…” Xiao Yu almost lost his temper.
With his intellect, how could he not see that Brother was deeply haunted?
“Do you know how the Big Boss rates you?”
Wang Dong, looking a bit dazed as if recalling something, sighed, “Apart from calling you a good kid.”
“What?” Xiao Yu asked, even more curious.
“The Big Boss says your biggest flaw is that while you appear exceptionally smart, smooth, and carefree—and prone to cheeky remarks—you tend to rush in with youthful bravado.”
Wang Dong laughed, “Especially when you get angry, you turn into a ragdoll, clashing head-on with your enemies. He says you’ll eventually pay for that fiery temper!”
“Uh, well…” Xiao Yu replied awkwardly.
As if confirming it was about him. Could he really be that lacking?
But he’s still young.
A young man with no temper—is that really being young?
“The Boss also said that no one’s perfect; sometimes, our flaws make us uniquely remarkable.”
Wang Dong’s expression grew serious. “You always give off a sunny vibe, and when it comes to right and wrong, your values stand firm. It’s people like you who become saviors in others’ eyes, the ones who, at times, are the ones to rally the masses!”
“Damn, that praise is way too highbrow…” Xiao Yu was taken aback.
Shock, astonishment, and disbelief welled up first.
Then came fear and anxiety, as cold sweat broke out.
The one who rallies with a wave of his arm… Xiao Yu’s face turned pale.
“What does that even mean?!”
“Do you know what the Big Boss said last in front of us?”
Wang Dong gave a half-smile, his expression unreadable.
“The way you talk, you sound just like a livestock magnate on TV.”
Xiao Yu glared at his brother and said, “Stop dawdling.”
“He said…”
After a pause, Wang Dong declared, “You bear a shackle on you!”
A shackle equals a chain?
“Damn, the Big Boss said I’m a dog…” Xiao Yu rolled his eyes.
Of course, it was just his own misunderstanding.
“You know why Bai Ting went to your sister’s side, right?”
Wang Dong fixed his gaze on Xiao Yu.
“Not just Sister Bai, huh?”
Xiao Yu smirked, “Several of the bodyguards by my sister’s side are from Special Forces. Did you really think I wouldn’t notice?”
“There was never any secret from you.”
Wang Dong shook his head. “The Boss said that as long as your sister doesn’t have any incidents, you’ll never face any issues. So… no one dares to mess with her!”
Xiao Yu’s heart pounded for a moment.
His mouth hung open as if it could accommodate an egg, and he stood frozen like a statue.
… … (Flower requests…)
Has someone managed to target his Achilles’ heel?
That’s what you call showing off affection—it’ll get you killed!
“And then?” Xiao Yu asked weakly.
“That’s all,” Wang Dong shrugged.
“Oh.”
Xiao Yu snorted, “It’s late—why not talk about something adult? Are you off work tomorrow or working?”
Wang Dong: …
“Little Brother has clearly never seen the Black Hand in action, has he?”
“Believe it or not, I’ll show you what a real Black Hand and a backhand grab are!”
For seven or eight hours.
The helicopter landed at the National Security Building.
Xiao Yu and Wang Dong met the Big Boss.
“Well done,” the Old Man said.
The Old Man said just that before sending them off.
As if you could expect the Big Boss to praise you?
It was all part of their job.
“I just thought of a very serious question.”
….. …. …….
Exiting the National Security Building, Xiao Yu’s expression turned grave and earnest.
“What?” Wang Dong asked in confusion.
“I’ve been sweating blood for National Security for ages, right?”
Xiao Yu asked solemnly.
“What do you mean?”
Wang Dong inexplicably felt his heart race.
“It means…”
Word for word, Xiao Yu said, “It seems National Security has never paid me my salary?”
“……”
Wang Dong smirked, “Is that it?”
“Isn’t this a serious matter?”
Xiao Yu retorted, “You can’t let a horse run free without feeding it, can you?”
“Give me a break!”
Wang Dong rolled his eyes, “Your sister’s loaded—why are you fussing over a few bucks?”
“Hey, hey, you’re wrecking my image here.”
An angry Xiao Yu shot back, “What? Do I look like a freeloader?”
“But isn’t your wife’s money also yours?”
Wang Dong, finding Little Brother pretentious, said, “Whether you eat or not, you still have to eat. If you don’t spend your money, someone else will—then you’re not a freeloader, you’re just a fool!”
Xiao Yu: …
Seems that’s the logic, huh?
The problem is that my salary card is completely controlled by my sister.
A man without financial freedom is doomed.
In the end, Wang Dong took Xiao Yu to sort out his salary.
It was really Xiao Yu’s own fault.
If you don’t provide your bank card number to finance, how will they pay you?
With his secret stash secured, an excited Xiao Yu boarded the flight back to Bincheng.
From then on, he became a confident man with his own little treasure trove.
A real man should be that confident!
