Chapter 56: Unexpected Turns in the Investigation

There was no so-called Special Investigation Team.

National Security stepped in, with full cooperation from local authorities.

Five National Security agents, alongside Xiao Yu, began a full-scale probe… into a major body smuggling case!

When Xiao Yu first took charge, it was just an inconspicuous suspected corpse theft.

In just a few days, it escalated into a major incident!

No one envied Xiao Yu having to handle such a case.

When you’re tangled in a major case, success brings glory; failure spells disaster.

Meanwhile, the Criminal Investigation Team managed to pocket a nice reward alongside Xiao Yu.

Regardless of whether the case was solved or not, Xiao Yu and the Criminal Investigation Team both enjoyed an early win.

And those who had pressured Xiao Yu and the Criminal Investigation Team back then… ha, they’re all in for it.

If they dare interfere again, they’re finished!

……

Early morning.

After interrogating the crematorium suspects all night.

With bloodshot eyes and utterly exhausted, Xiao Yu stepped out of the City Bureau’s interrogation room.

Other National Security agents were still questioning.

No sleep all night and not a morsel eaten.

Xiao Yu felt he was about to collapse and decided to catch a quick nap.

He walked into the corridor and, spotting a long bench, immediately laid down.

Just as sleep began to take him, he was roused by a familiar scent.

When he opened his eyes, he discovered that the clothes under his head had transformed into a long, graceful leg.

Hovering above was a face as beautiful as a porcelain portrait.

‘This girl is stunning—so gorgeous. Is she married?’

Wait… a fully awake Xiao Yu was completely stunned.

‘My wife?!’

“You’re awake?”

Mu Qingwu’s lips curled into a perfect smile. “I brought you breakfast.”

“How did you get hold of something from the City Bureau?”

Xiao Yu asked curiously, not wanting to leave the makeshift pillow on his sister’s leg.

“I called you; a stranger answered saying you were here.”

Mu Qingwu extended her fair hand and playfully pinched her brother’s nose. “I’m here now.”

Glancing at the phone on her chest, it was clear that either he had slept too soundly or was utterly exhausted… Xiao Yu smiled as he got up and noticed a thermal lunchbox by her side.

Puzzled, Xiao Yu took it over and opened it.

Inside was a container of scrambled eggs, with bits of egg peel scattered about.

Beneath it lay a flatbread… or something akin to a pancake?

And below that… it appeared to be porridge?!

Still puzzled, he looked up at Mu Qingwu.

But he noticed a faint blush on his sister’s cheeks.

Could it be that she made it herself?

He recalled her once saying she couldn’t cook.

A woman worth billions wouldn’t normally need to cook for herself.

Yet she had taken the trouble to prepare something for him.

Why?

A warm current stirred within Xiao Yu.

The scrambled eggs were a bit salty, but he polished them off.

He devoured the flatbread and finished every drop of the porridge, punctuating it with a hearty burp.

“Sis,” Xiao Yu said, looking at Mu Qingwu.

“What is it?” she replied, her tone cool and aloof.

Yet the crescent shape of her eyes betrayed her true feelings.

“From now on, you cook and I’ll do all the eating.”

Wrapping his arms around her, Xiao Yu murmured, “I want to eat like this for a lifetime!”

“Mm!”

The cool Mu Qingwu leaned contentedly into her brother’s embrace.

Her eyes, clear as autumn water and sparkling like stars, and her perfectly sculpted lips carried a gentle smile.

“This is wonderful!” Xiao Yu grinned broadly.

It was a pity they were still at the City Bureau—otherwise, he’d have given his sister a real kiss…

Mu Qingwu then left.

Not only did she deliver breakfast, she also brought a car.

A fully-loaded Hongqi HS5!

Just as Mu Qingwu had said, the car’s price wasn’t over the top.

It was perfectly suited for Xiao Yu’s position as a cop.

After his time-travel, it was his first car, which left him rather excited.

But when he opened the door and saw the interior, Xiao Yu was dumbfounded.

Anyone who knows cars understands:

Interiors can range from a few thousand, to tens of thousands, to even millions.

If you crave luxury, you can have it.

There’s nothing that can’t be upgraded.

With a twitch of his mouth, Xiao Yu realized the car’s interior was worth far more than the vehicle itself.

A modest exterior with a multi-million interior—was his sister really that inventive?

One had to admire it.

Mu Qingwu had clearly pulled out all the stops to make sure her brother rode in comfort.

Outwardly modest, but the interior? Who cares!

She truly is a business mogul, navigating the rules with ease.

The most interesting part was:

The car’s storage compartment was stocked with premium cigarettes.

Is this her way of pointing out that I’ve been smoking lately?

Xiao Yu chuckled bitterly.

He hadn’t intended to, having sworn off smoking in this life.

Yet, he just couldn’t resist!

He never expected Mu Qingwu to be so meticulous.

The thought of a sister like her sharing his future warmed his heart.

Xiao Yu’s grin nearly split his face.

“Xiao Yu,”

National Security Team Leader Wang Dong’s voice called from behind.

“Hmm?”

Turning around, Xiao Yu saw four National Security team members quickly boarding a car.

Wang Dong glanced at the Hongqi car, hopped in without hesitation, and commanded, “Arrest him!”

Eyes lighting up, Xiao Yu jumped into his car and sped off after the National Security vehicle…
