Chapter 689: A Glimmer of Light
by xennovelChapter 689: Fortunately, There Is Still Light (Update 2)
Xiao Yu finally understood why that transnational human organ trafficking crime syndicate was so wealthy. Lin
Wealthy?
First off, consider the salaries of the surgeons employed by the syndicate.
Any one of them earns millions a year.
Imagine how much a complete medical team, with all its members, takes home annually.
The crime organization employed not one but three such teams.
Not to mention, for organ transplants, they even own a private office building in City W.
In Bincheng, they hire doctors at astronomical salaries.
At that very moment.
They even went as far as setting up an organ transplant site inside a luxury yacht…
So, are they really in this just for a few measly profits from organ sales?
Who would be interested in such a paltry sum?
Everything made sense…like fog lifting!
Once he figured it all out, Xiao Yu sprang into action.
Amidst the splattering of bullets and the roar of gunfire, he lunged at the two Kimchi Land soldiers.
He pounced like a leopard, moving with lightning speed.
Snap!
His palm slid off a gunman’s neck.
Bang.
Xiao Yu’s kick connected with the head of the other gunman.
With the power of Bear Force, his kick shattered the man’s skull.
Decapitated!
Ignoring the crimson mess on his boot, Xiao Yu retracted his leg and strode toward a now trembling Li Xiongyu, who had scrambled to his feet.
Passing by a man missing an arm… Snap.
With a casual lift of his foot, he crushed the man’s throat.
“Who gave you the nerve?”
Xiao Yu glared coldly at the pale-faced Li Xiongyu.
“I…”
Li Xiongyu shivered in terror, unable to form a word.
“It’s alright.”
Xiao Yu reached out and gently patted Li Xiongyu on the shoulder.
“Trust me—you’re going to talk!”
…
A day later in Kimchi Land.
A world-shaking incident occurred.
Four councilors in Kimchi Land met a brutal end at home, executed by Lingchi.
On the same day, an entire conglomerate family was wiped out—no one survived.
【Ding Congratulations, Host—Organ Trafficking Case Solved!】
Case closed!
…
In the Minister’s Office of National Security.
“What are you planning to do?”
In the cloudy eyes of the Old Man, a fierce glimmer cut like a blade as he glared at Xiao Yu, “You think you can act above the law!”
“If we can’t guard some things here, they’ll vanish in an instant.”
Calmly, Xiao Yu raised his hand and pointed to his chest, “In life, all we ask for is peace of mind!”
There was one more thought in his heart.
If I stand by idly today, when disaster strikes tomorrow, who will rally to my defense?
The Old Man was momentarily stunned.
In Dragon Kingdom, few still dared to speak to him so boldly.
After a while, a trace of guilt appeared on the Old Man’s aged face.
He turned his head and squinted out the window.
After a long silence, a strange smile played upon his face.
“Weren’t you eager to be a cop? Go on, then, be your own kind of cop.”
Xiao Yu: ???
“Boss, please, can’t you cut me some slack? I’m terrified!”
Is this the end of it?
Are you saying I can’t mix with National Security anymore?
For some reason,
Xiao Yu’s heart raced with excitement, confusion, and a tinge of loss.
After all, can justice ever truly overcome the rules?
Decision made.
From today on, I’ll become a plain, unassuming yet wealthy man… a cop.
Mu Qingwu and my parents will be overjoyed, right?
But I can’t help feeling a bit reluctant…
He took out his identification and placed it on the office desk.
“Thank you for your care over these two years!”
Xiao Yu raised his hand and saluted the Old Man.
Then he turned and walked toward the office door.
Quietly, he departed.
Just as quietly as he had arrived.
Waving farewell without taking a single cloud with him…
Watching Xiao Yu exit the office, the Old Man’s wrinkled lips curled into a smile as he murmured,
“You silly boy, the boss told me to give you a message: In five years… National Security is yours!”
…
Outside the National Security Building.
A breathtakingly exquisite woman, her back turned to nine team leaders, stood gracefully as the wind brushed her. Her eyes, clear as stars, gazed at the setting sun.
It was as if she sensed something—she turned from the window and caught sight of a figure as radiant as the noonday sun.
Her eyes, as clear as frozen mirrors, melted like glaciers, budding with laughter.
In that moment, she seemed to come alive with dazzling charm…
“Sis!”
Ignoring the nine team leaders, Xiao Yu wrapped his arms around Mu Qingwu, his chin drooping onto her shoulder, pitiful yet indignant, “You’re taking care of me from now on!”
“Really?”
With an expression as cool as ice, Mu Qingwu’s eyes twinkled as she teased, “Weren’t you always averse to living off others?”
“Not anymore.”
Pouting like a sulky kid, Xiao Yu grumbled, “I can’t stand work anyway—soon I’ll just lie back and live off you!”
“Haha!”
Holding the handsome, mature young man tight, Mu Qingwu, like a nurturing older sister, teased in a soft, alluring tone, “Remember, no backing out now!”
“Back out? Who’s the little puppy here!”
Straightening up, Xiao Yu grinned at her, “From now on, I’ll only be a small-time cop—a relaxing job where I can protect you, protect Mu Mu, and…”
He slowly crouched down, pressing his cheek to Mu Qingwu’s belly as he whispered, “Our little bundle of joy!”
For some reason,
he just had a premonition.
This baby would be a girl.
He longed for a daughter—a perfect balance of a son and daughter.
Maybe it was a bit greedy.
But who isn’t a little greedy?
“Mm!”
Cradling his brother’s head with one hand and gently tousling the short hair with the other, Mu Qingwu’s eyes softened, her delicate, breathtakingly beautiful face exuding a bewitching charm as she said, “I once told you, when you’re exhausted, come rest in my arms. It might not be as safe or warm as yours, but it’ll help you sleep soundly.”
The cool wind is certain and the storm is relentless, but I’ll always be by your side.
Don’t fear—Sis will always be here…
“Sis…”
Xiao Yu stood up, taking Mu Qingwu’s graceful hand, “Let’s go home.”
“Alright.”
The elegant fairy-like Mu Qingwu, now as gentle as a small woman, allowed her brother to lead her, following in his footsteps.
Together, the couple headed toward the setting sun.
Fortunately, there is still light.
Like flowers and trees, our hearts turn toward the sun.
The youth began his journey amidst a sea of thorns.
But he will eventually reach the shore, bathed in brilliant light!
