Chapter 132: Silly Sister, Let’s Get Married

On a passenger plane flying to Bincheng.

“He’s not a soldier, not a mercenary, not a cop. He almost got sold due to a twist of fate, and later was militarized into some organization’s dirty work… a thug.” Wang Dong had a strange expression as he looked at Xiao Yu, who was resting with his eyes closed. “He had nine lives on his hands, which led to psychological issues and weird hobbies. The bite marks on the corpses were made using a tool he created to mimic hyena bites. He drained the victims’ blood for bathing, mixing drinks, and fed the remaining flesh to the dogs. The purpose of raising hyenas was to mimic. He had no accomplices, and his girlfriend was innocent.”

Xiao Yu didn’t open his eyes. “How do we handle it?”

“Are you asking about him?” Wang Dong smirked. “Or are you asking yourself?”

Breaking the suspect’s hands and cutting his tendons was a significant issue. Such matters could be big or small, depending on whether they pursued it or not.

“I remember, Brother Wang, you still owe me two packs of special supply cigarettes?”

Xiao Yu opened his eyes and looked at Wang Dong with a face full of feigned grievance.

‘Do you think my expression is one of grievance? No, it’s just human nature!’

After experiencing this crisis, he finally realized the benefits of personal favors.

Although he didn’t want to join National Security, he needed to cling to Wang Dong’s support.

“Damn!”

Wang Dong rolled his eyes, feeling a bit frustrated.

Knowing he couldn’t leverage this incident against his little brother, who wasn’t falling for it.

Given the things Wu Yuanxin did, even if Xiao Yu went overboard, everyone would choose to turn a blind eye.

Moreover, Wang Dong knew he had gotten used to relying on his little brother.

If you offend him, do you still want Xiao Yu to help you in the future?

National Security had been eyeing the little brother… no, his abilities for quite some time.

“Come to my wedding if you’re free,” Xiao Yu said with a grin. “And don’t forget to bring a red envelope.”

“…” Wang Dong’s expression was unusual. “Your wife is loaded, and you still care about this little bit of money? Are you a dog?”

“Watch your mouth. Her money is hers. Do I look like someone who lives off a woman?”

“Do you even look at your own face when you say that?” Wang Dong laughed, eyeing Xiao Yu’s handsome features. “If you’re not living off a woman, why are you so good-looking?”

‘Damn it,’ Xiao Yu felt frustrated, ‘Do you think I want this?’

“Don’t worry, as long as National Security isn’t busy, I’ll be there.” Wang Dong chuckled. “But after your wedding, you’ll need to come to Beijing.”

“Huh?” Xiao Yu looked puzzled.

“You’ve made another great contribution.” Wang Dong’s expression was peculiar. “I told you before to save up your merits. But who would’ve thought you’d make another one so soon? Our boss wants you to come to Beijing. He wants to meet you!”

“…” Xiao Yu was stunned.

The big boss at National Security had taken an interest in him.

Did this count as an invisible boost in his value?

For a moment, Xiao Yu felt a surge of heroism, a burst of courage to face an army alone.

‘I’m going to meet a top figure.’

This inexplicable courage lasted for a second before it quickly dissipated.

This wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

Back in Bincheng, Xiao Yu went to the Criminal Investigation Unit. Captain Zhao Changshan was unperturbed by his subordinate’s sudden disappearance and reappearance. There were no ripples in his heart. He understood that Xiao Yu had gone off to do some side work for National Security.

Later, Captain Zhao Changshan, Instructor Zhou Tinghu, and Wang Dong from National Security had a conversation about something.

Xiao Yu didn’t care about anything else. He went straight home, took a shower, and had a good sleep in his bed.

When he opened his eyes, he found Mu Qingwu had already returned and was lying beside him, watching him.

“Hey sis, it’s time to pay the rent,” Xiao Yu said, nuzzling into his sister’s embrace like a little pig.

“Huh?” Mu Qingwu chuckled, holding her brother. “What rent?”

“You’ve rented out my heart,” Xiao Yu mumbled. “The heart is mine, but you’ve been living in it for a while. Don’t you think it’s time to pay the rent?”

Hugging her brother, Mu Qingwu softly said, “Sure, I’ll pay the rent on time from now on. But what’s your rent?”

“Sis, can you stop spending money on me?” Xiao Yu looked up from his sister’s embrace. “People will say I’m living off you.”

“Haha,” Mu Qingwu laughed softly, her teasing demeanor stirring a tender protective instinct in men. “That makes me want to spend even more on you. If I don’t spend my money, I’ll just give it all to you.”

“Huh?” Xiao Yu was dumbfounded.

“People who say you’re living off someone are just jealous because they can’t find a wealthy partner. I love you, it’s not just words,” Mu Qingwu said seriously. “I’m already yours, and my money is yours too. What’s mine is yours. If love isn’t measured by money, then by what? An electronic scale? Should I donate all my money to prove my love for you?”

“Uh!” 

It was meant as a joke, Xiao Yu didn’t really care if people said he was living off his sister. But seeing his domineering sister being so earnest, he felt a bit touched.

“Feeling smug now?” Mu Qingwu pinched her brother’s cheek, her complexion smooth and radiant like a piece of flawless jade. She smiled and asked, “So, can you tell me why you were attracted to me in the first place? Don’t say it’s because I’m rich, I won’t believe it.”

“Uh, well…” Xiao Yu felt a bit awkward but spoke righteously, “Sis, I am definitely not a shallow person. What attracted me wasn’t your waist, nor your beautiful face, or those long legs of yours. It’s you, your whole person, who deeply attracted me.”

“Haha!” Mu Qingwu’s lips curled into a soft, alluring smile, though she tried to act reserved. 

She looked like a proud little peacock trying to show off but holding back. Her brother was complimenting her.

“Sis, can you call me big brother?” Xiao Yu, seeing Mu Qingwu happy, decided to be mischievous. “I see other girls calling their boyfriends ‘big brother,’ it feels so sweet.”

“Wake up, it’s not dream time yet.” Mu Qingwu’s smile faded, her dominant demeanor returning. “A little kid wanting to be a big brother, keep dreaming.”

“Sis, please.” Xiao Yu hugged her waist, acting pitiful.

“…” Mu Qingwu hesitated but shook her head, unable to say it.

“Sis~!” Xiao Yu looked even more pitiful.

“Well… okay then!” Mu Qingwu’s delicate face blushed, “Just this once, you can’t make me do it again, understand?”

“Hehe.” Xiao Yu smiled triumphantly, nodding vigorously. “Okay.”

Once there was a first time, there would be a second and a third. Everyone knows this rule.

Mu Qingwu looked at Xiao Yu, her cheeks gradually turning rosy, both shy and coy. She softly whispered, “Big…brother!”

Xiao Yu’s lips met Mu Qingwu’s.
