Chapter 238 The Big Boss Is Angry

“Sis, wake up.”

“Wake up, wake up, wake up… come on, didn’t you say you had to go to the company today?”

“Mu Qingwu, I’ve been calling you for ages, but you’re still asleep.”

“If you end up late and miss the shareholders’ meeting, don’t blame me.”

Looking at Mu Qingwu sleeping soundly in his arms like a little cat, Xiao Yu smiled gently. If there had been a mirror, he would’ve seen a childish grin on his face.

“Got it!”

Mu Qingwu stretched out her delicate arms, hugged her mischievous brother, and opened her bright eyes. 

“Carry me to the bathroom.”

“As you wish!”

Scooping her up, Xiao Yu got out of bed and carried her into the bathroom. After they showered, Mu Qingwu, like a doting mother, tidied Xiao Yu’s clothes for him, her big baby.

Downstairs, Bai Ting, their bodyguard who had come early to help prepare breakfast, smiled at them.

The couple blushed, but they didn’t hold back and tried Sister Bai’s cooking. Their eyes lit up with delight. Xiao Yu was thrilled, thinking that maybe he wouldn’t have to cook anymore. But when he saw Mu Qingwu smiling slyly at him, his excitement quickly deflated.

‘Never mind, looks like I’ll be cooking for her for the rest of my life.’

After accompanying Mu Qingwu to the shareholders’ meeting at the company, Xiao Yu found himself bored.

“Sis, let’s play a game?”

“No.”

“Just once?”

“…What game?”

“I’ll show you… hehe!”

Two minutes later, Xiao Yu was sitting in the boss’s chair, posing like a domineering CEO, looking down at his sister with an air of authority.

“Seeing that my little brother is so bored, I’ll give you my gold card,” Mu Qingwu teased, suppressing a laugh as she pretended to swoon, holding out a card to Xiao Yu. “Go and treat yourself, okay?”

“Are you telling me what to do now?” Xiao Yu puffed out his chest arrogantly. “Remember, from now on, whatever I say goes. Got it?”

“So handsome.” Mu Qingwu clasped her hands to her chest, trying not to laugh. “I just love how confident my brother is… Ugh~!”

“Uh!” 

Xiao Yu stared in shock as his sister bent over, gagging.

‘Wait, is this game really that nauseating?’

But Mu Qingwu was actually vomiting—not from disgust, but because she felt unwell.

Panicking, Xiao Yu scooped her up and bolted out of the office, speeding to the hospital. He even called their parents and mother-in-law on the way. Both families rushed to the hospital, anxiously awaiting Mu Qingwu’s test results.

The outcome… just regular morning sickness!

Everyone, “…”

The young couple stood there, blushing furiously, unable to meet the eyes of their elders.

It was so embarrassing, so humiliating. But honestly, you couldn’t blame them. It was their first time experiencing this.

“Brother Wang, what brings you here?”

Xiao Yu was surprised when Wang Dong showed up right after he got home. Not only did he come, but he also handed Xiao Yu two small red boxes.

Xiao Yu already had four of these small red boxes. Each one contained a first-class merit medal.

“Is this for the Murder Group case and the Human Skin Wax Figure case?”

Opening the two boxes, Xiao Yu looked at the first-class merit medals inside, feeling a wave of emotion.

Six first-class merits.

“Yeah.” Wang Dong nodded seriously. “The big boss wants you to go to Beijing. You need to go there for the honorary title ceremony. You’ll be receiving your second honorary title, with a promotion.”

Three first-class merits: Second-class Excellent Police Honorary Title.

Five first-class merits: Second-class Excellent Police Honorary Title, again.

Six first-class merits: Upgrade to First-class Excellent Police Honorary Title.

This wasn’t just a formality, he had to go to Beijing.

Plus, the big boss of the top department in the police system would personally meet with Xiao Yu.

Like National Security, the two departments were on the same level and operated relatively independently. Though the National Security Bureau was involved in domestic special cases, it was not directly above Xiao Yu.

“This time, it’s the big boss from your police department who wants to see you.” Wang Dong had a strange look on his face, like he was holding back a laugh. “He… seems pretty angry.”

Xiao Yu, “…”

Why would the big boss of the police department—the one whose name “you can’t even write”—be angry?

It was simple.

What was Xiao Yu’s job?

A police officer.

And the result?

Xiao Yu was always helping National Security investigate cases, practically every other day.

If you had a subordinate like that—who constantly went off-mission, neglecting his own work to help someone else—wouldn’t you, as the boss, be upset?

But Xiao Yu got lucky.

The big boss of the police department had been on medical leave for the past few months, balancing between work and recovery.

Being old and nearing retirement, he hadn’t paid much attention to Xiao Yu. He didn’t even know about all the things Xiao Yu had been up to. But when he came back from his break he discovered that one of his subordinates had racked up six first-class merit medals.

Completely stunned, he looked into it and realized that the National Security was eyeing Xiao Yu and even trying to poach him?

The big boss was furious.

What the hell, with the king away, you think you can just steal from the house?

No way he was letting this slide.

He immediately called the big boss at the National Security. The two old men nearly came to blows over Xiao Yu.

When Wang Dong came to deliver the medals, he clearly knew about all of this. So, he gave Xiao Yu a heads-up to prepare him.

Why did Wang Dong deliver the medals?

Because almost all the cases where Xiao Yu earned his first-class merits were handled by the National Security.

“Wait, you guys sold me out?”

Xiao Yu quickly pieced together what was happening and shot a sideways glance at Wang Dong.

“Definitely not,” Wang Dong shrugged, “You’ll find out when you meet your boss.”

“Do I even dare to go now?” Xiao Yu rolled his eyes, feeling the urge to curse.

“You’re getting the First-Class Excellent Police Honorary Title, think you have a choice?” Wang Dong said, dripping with envy and jealousy, clearly sour about it. “Plus, you’re on vacation, so why not head to Beijing with me?”

Xiao Yu, “…”

Left with no choice, he begrudgingly informed Mu Qingwu of the situation. 

However, this time, he didn’t bring his wife along. Flying wasn’t ideal for a pregnant woman, and taking the train could be exhausting too.

Telling her to rest at home, Xiao Yu and Wang Dong boarded the plane to Beijing. When they arrived at Beijing Airport, Xiao Yu spotted a big Red Flag car waiting outside.

“Your boss’s car,” Wang Dong said with a smirk, clearly enjoying the situation.

“…”

Xiao Yu saw a middle-aged man in a suit walking toward him.

“Comrade Xiao Yu, right?” The man smiled, “The big boss sent me to pick you up.”

Wang Dong waved goodbye, leaving Xiao Yu nervously getting into the Red Flag car.
