Chapter 46

Chapter 46: Watch Your WordsXiao Yu didn’t meddle with the fugitive case.

The corpse theft case… Xiao Yu looked at the sky and cursed inwardly. Forget it, I’ll check it out tomorrow. Investigating a crematorium at night is just asking for trouble.

Everyone knows that cemeteries and crematoriums are best avoided at night.

It’s not good for the mind and body!

Since joining the Criminal Investigation Brigade, this was the first time Xiao Yu clocked out on time.

Would his colleagues be upset if he left while they were all working overtime?

No way.

Despite being the youngest, his case-solving abilities were well-recognized.

Everyone wanted to share in the success.

Just this afternoon, news spread in the team that Xiao Yu would soon be promoted to team leader.

There were three team member slots!

Guo Qiang was the first to rush to Xiao Yu, leveraging his past role as ‘mentor’ to claim one spot.

The remaining two spots… well, people were almost fighting over them!

Most people who became cops initially had a passionate desire to serve.

But if they could solve cases and advance their careers at the same time, who wouldn’t like that? Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ ɴovᴇlꜰirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Everyone knew how skilled Xiao Yu was.

Who wouldn’t want to follow him?

A bunch of old-timers following a younger guy—embarrassing?

If he could lead you to promotions and raises, would his age matter?

He’s like a father figure!

***

The road home was bumpy; Xiao Yu took the bus back.

A recent police academy graduate doesn’t deserve a car.

His dad wanted to buy him one, but Xiao Yu refused.

He thought his parents should save their money for retirement; he would work hard himself.

Besides, living with Mu Qingwu meant he didn’t have to worry about food and drink.

Apart from not having a ride, he didn’t need to spend much money.

Back home… to Mu Qingwu’s villa.

No one was home.

To be honest, Xiao Yu didn’t really know this sister.

They hadn’t known each other for long, and their interactions were even shorter. How could he understand her?

He took out his phone and dialed Mu Qingwu’s number.

“What’s up?”

The cool big sister’s voice came through the phone.

“I got off work early today, planning to make dinner.”

Xiao Yu asked, “Anything you’d like to eat?”

He had promised to pursue her.

A man’s word is his bond.

“You can make whatever you like.”

Mu Qingwu’s voice softened, “Oh, I bought you a car, it’ll be delivered tomorrow.”

Xiao Yu: “…”

He felt like he was living off a woman.

The brilliant detective Xiao Yu keenly sensed this serious issue.

“I know you can’t drive a luxury car to work.”

Mu Qingwu thought his silence was because of this and explained, “It’s an SUV, I thought it would suit you. It’s only three to four hundred thousand, just a little gift from your sister.”

Three to four hundred thousand… only?!

Xiao Yu’s mouth twitched.

He felt like he wasn’t flashy enough in front of his wealthy sister.

As a transmigrator, he seemed to be doing quite poorly!

“When will you be back for dinner?” Xiao Yu asked.

“Soon, I’m almost done.”

Mu Qingwu chuckled, “I haven’t come home this early in years.”

After ending the call, Xiao Yu hummed a tune and went to buy groceries.

For two people, a simple meal with two dishes and a soup was enough.

When he returned and finished cooking, Mu Qingwu came back.

They exchanged smiles and ate dinner together.

After that, they sat in the living room, not knowing what to say.

Their relationship was awkward.

They were legally married but strangers.

Not even a couple, yet they slept together.

Seeing the fatigue on Mu Qingwu’s face, Xiao Yu thought for a moment and reached out.

Maybe it was a natural reaction, but Mu Qingwu leaned in.

“Sis, I wasn’t trying to hug you, I wanted to give you a massage.” Xiao Yu teased.

“Ah?” Mu Qingwu’s cold and beautiful face turned red.

Lying on her brother’s lap, feeling his hands massaging her forehead and shoulders.

It felt comfortable!

Looking at the beauty beside him, Xiao Yu massaged and sighed.

Among many tactics, beauty is always the most effective weapon against men.

Being beautiful isn’t a crime, but causing others to want to commit crimes because of your beauty is immoral.

Mu Qingwu was that kind of existence!

“Sis, what do you do for living actually?” Xiao Yu asked.

“Capital finance.”

With her eyes closed, Mu Qingwu didn’t hide it.

“Impressive.” Xiao Yu was somewhat surprised.

To be called a ‘capital’ company, you’d be embarrassed to use those words if you didn’t deal in billions.

My sister is really loaded!

“Are you very rich?” Xiao Yu asked casually.

Mu Qingwu replied casually, “Over a hundred billion.”

Xiao Yu: …

Can we still have fun?

Seeing that his sister wasn’t joking.

Holy crap… Xiao Yu cursed inwardly.

Thunderstruck, scalp tingling, living in a dream.

Being a cop feels like a waste of time; I might as well work construction!

“Actually…”

Mu Qingwu opened her eyes and looked at the stunned Xiao Yu, a mischievous smile on her exquisite face, “If you divorce me now, you’ll get half of my assets. Want to consider it?”

Xiao Yu: …

Watch your words.

My mom would kill me!
