Chapter 597: Chapter 597: Dragons Don’t Live With Snakes, Phoenixes Don’t Walk With Chickens

Book Chapter 597: Dragons Don’t Live With Snakes, Phoenixes Don’t Walk With Chickens (Update 5)

Wang Cheng had long speculated that his Master might possess another identity.

And that identity was not only astonishing, but downright terrifying—with power that could be immense.

Just as evident as the scene unfolding before his eyes.

He saw his ‘relative’ Wang Dong sitting in an Armed Helicopter.

Waving at his Master from high above.

Who in their right mind gets to ride in a helicopter like that?

And that wasn’t all.

Wang Cheng was fortunate enough to witness a classic novel moment.

It forced the male lead to make a dazzling entrance!

Just like those tales where the male lead deliberately hides his identity as a Battle God.

When the country calls, he retreats to his secluded refuge.

At that moment, as the male lead left home, the female lead threw caution to the wind and rushed into his arms.

Surely, this had to be a woman of noble birth and breathtaking beauty.

And everyone around was left utterly stunned.

They secretly speculated, guessed, and were in awe of the male lead’s true identity.

Even the demure female lead unintentionally helped him keep his secret under wraps.

Wang Cheng never could have imagined.

That today he’d be granted the luxury of witnessing such a scene on his Master.

“Time to go,” a voice declared.

Xiao Yu ignored the gawking couple beside him and gently cradled Mu Qingwu.

“Mm,” came the soft response.

Mu Qingwu nuzzled her cheek against Xiao Yu’s neck, like a cat unwilling to let its owner go.

“Sis, it seems like you’re not as worried about me as you used to be?”

Xiao Yu laughed softly, asking, “Why’s that?”

“Worried about what?”

Mu Qingwu teased with a playful smile, “Worried you might beat the villains to a pulp?”

“Haha!”

Xiao Yu erupted in laughter, “Do you really think I have any secrets from you?”

“What do you think?”

Mu Qingwu raised her exquisitely delicate face.

That fleeting pout had long transformed into an enchanting allure.

Xiao Yu closed his eyes, lowered his head, and kissed Mu Qingwu’s lips.

He worried that if he kept gazing at his sister’s face, he’d never be able to walk.

Wasn’t it the same with King Zhou when facing Da Ji?

A beauty embraced, a hero laid to rest!

“Be back soon. Mu Mu is crawling now—waiting for you to teach him how to walk.”

Mu Qingwu lifted her jade-like hand to adjust her brother’s outfit.

Just like an ancient lady preparing her husband for battle.

“Got it,” she replied.

Xiao Yu grinned broadly and turned toward the rope ladder behind him…

……

“Master’s Wife.”

Wang Cheng looked longingly and passionately at the receding helicopter. “Master, who exactly are you?”

A still-recovering Zhou Yanyu also watched Mu Qingwu intently.

In the past, she only knew her idol as the business world’s queen who had married a small-time cop.

Until today, Zhou Yanyu realized just how terribly mistaken she had been.

“An ordinary policeman?”

Who else could summon an Armed Helicopter for a pickup?

It truly echoed the old adage…

“Dragons don’t live with snakes, phoenixes don’t walk with chickens.”

How could a business queen’s man possibly be ordinary?

“He, uh…”

Pride shone on Mu Qingwu’s alluring face as she declared, “A man who defends the country!”

At home, the nine first-class merit medals were proudly displayed.

Mu Qingwu spoke with unwavering confidence, her pride unmistakable.

He was her man!

……

Somewhere in the helicopter, a man glared at Wang Dong’s awkward expression, his thoughts filled with curses.

“Don’t be mad—I admit it. I shouldn’t have disturbed your vacation.”

Wang Dong forced a smile, “Listen to my excuses… no, listen to my explanation!”

“Hehe!”

Xiao Yu gave a sardonic grin, “Come on, try to excuse yourself. If you fail, I’ll show you what a real strongman looks like!”

Wang Dong: ???

What on earth does ‘a real strongman’ even mean?

“I just ran into a tricky case.”

Wang Dong rubbed his hands, awkwardly smiling, “I couldn’t crack it alone. The boss told me to look for you. In National Security, isn’t it said that no one matches you, Little Brother?”

Damn, that’s some over-the-top flattery—I’m almost embarrassed for you… Xiao Yu’s face flushed, “So, what’s the case about?”

Not to mention, brother, even your sycophantic charm is impressive.

I’m really envious—you get to know someone as talented, handsome, and downright extraordinary as me!

“The case is neither huge nor trivial,”

Wang Dong furrowed his brows, “But it must be solved quickly.”

So you ended up speaking completely nonsense… Xiao Yu rolled his eyes, “Key point?”

“I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a movie,”

Wang Dong’s expression turned serious, “Heart Panic Method!”

What are you talking about—a movie? Xiao Yu frowned.

Does Wang Dong ever get this bored?

Definitely not.

If Wang Dong now names a movie, something’s surely amiss.

What movie is Heart Panic Method?

It’s also known as… The Alternate Dimension Kill Zone!

Of course, that doesn’t mean there’s any real alternate dimension.

The film tells the story of a very peculiar maze.

A maze built entirely of cube-like rooms.

Ever played with a Rubik’s Cube?

Exactly—the maze was like an enormous metal Rubik’s Cube.

The plot revolves around a group of people trapped within this cubic labyrinth.

They have neither food nor water, and if they can’t escape the maze,

they’re doomed to starve and dehydrate.

Moreover, the maze not only changes its structure during their escape, it also hides deadly traps.

All sorts of mechanisms make their plight unbearable.

One wrong step and they could be lost forever…

“And then?” Xiao Yu asked, a puzzled expression on his face.

“Then someone actually built it,”

Wang Dong articulated every word, “Right here in our country!”

“Holy shit!”

Xiao Yu couldn’t hold back and swore.

It was unthinkable—at first, he simply couldn’t believe it.

Next, he suspected Wang Dong was lying.

Then his third thought was… where is this genius?

Honestly, Xiao Yu really wanted to pay his respects.

After all, a movie is just a movie.

But if someone could recreate those surreal scenes from the film,

they’d surely be a genius!

Soon, countless question marks flooded Xiao Yu’s mind.

Could anyone really build something like ‘Heart Panic Method’?

Do you have any idea how huge a factory would have to be?

To construct such a massive mechanism and not get caught? Unbelievable!

Xiao Yu shook his head.

It was simply too far-fetched.

And yet, such an absurdity had been taken on by National Security.

That meant it truly existed!
