My Super Beautiful Lady Boss
Chapter 416 - 416 416 Trouble with the Azure Dragon

416: Chapter 416: Trouble with the Azure Dragon 416: Chapter 416: Trouble with the Azure Dragon Su Xuan suddenly realized and nodded, “So, you’re treating me to a meal just to return the favor?”

“Pretty much,” said Han Caiyin.

“I don’t want your favor.” Su Xuan shook his head, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.”

“Stop right there!” Upon reflection, Han Caiyin realized that her words might have hurt Su Xuan, making it seem as though after he saved her, she was trying to repay him with a meal and be done with it, even though that wasn’t her intention.

But to Su Xuan, it felt like after this meal, they would be even.

Anyone would feel bad in this situation, let alone Su Xuan who had always been pursuing her.

Even though there’s a saying that the loved one doesn’t need to apologize, should the unloved one be bullied by the beloved?

Han Caiyin was no fool; although she had never been in a relationship, she understood some basic principles.

“Caiyin wife, I like you.

I didn’t save you just to have this meal with you.

Even if you don’t like me, even hate me, I have no regrets.

If you want to use this meal to set boundaries between us…” Su Xuan spoke quickly, his eyes filled with deep disappointment, but before he could finish, Han Caiyin interrupted:

“Hey, that’s not what I meant.

Listen to me, let me finish.

I invited you to this meal just to express my gratitude for saving my life, not to set boundaries between us.

Also, why are you so wooden-headed?

I, I already said before, as long as you don’t cause trouble, you can come to the police station to see me anytime.”

Having said this, Han Caiyin’s cheeks turned slightly red, and she said in a low voice, “It’s getting late, let’s go for lunch,”

The time was indeed late, nearly twelve o’clock.

Han Caiyin hadn’t had lunch, and neither had Su Xuan; probably few in the entire police force had eaten by now.

After hearing Han Caiyin’s explanation, a happy smile spread across Su Xuan’s face, and he said, “Caiyin wife, I’m sorry, I misunderstood you.”

“Call me ‘sister.'” Han Caiyin gave Su Xuan a look.

This damned jerk, give him one smile, and he takes it all the way.

However, deep down Han Caiyin did feel grateful to Su Xuan—he did save her life, right?

Moreover, on the day after Su Xuan rescued her, she, a new policewoman who had graduated from the police academy less than a month ago, was surprisingly promoted to the position of captain of the criminal police team, a spot that previously belonged to their team leader, Liu Zijian, who ascended straight to the position of director.

At first, Han Caiyin didn’t understand the situation.

Given her qualifications, she should have to work for at least three years for a promotion.

However, after seeing the news report, she realized that it mentioned her and Liu Zijian’s indispensable contributions to the removal of Jiang Tiange and his grandson.

Moreover, it was exaggerated how they risked their lives to gather criminal evidence against Jiang Tiange and his grandson, how righteous they were, and how they upheld the image of the people’s police…

Han Caiyin found herself in the position of captain of the criminal police team quite confusedly, and later, Wang Anmin told her the whole story, which helped her understand everything.

However, she and Liu Zijian indeed did help the Ren Family a lot.

Although Su Xuan was the main orchestrator, their contributions were indelible.

Han Caiyin wasn’t naive about the workings of the officialdom, and she knew it must have been Chen Wanqing’s idea.

But no matter what, she indeed owed Su Xuan a huge favor.

If Su Xuan didn’t have Chen Wanqing and wasn’t so flirtatious, maybe she would have agreed to be his wife…

Han Caiyin shook her head, stopping her wild thoughts, and a few minutes later, they arrived at a Chinese and Western restaurant not far from the police station.

“What would you like to eat?” After Han Caiyin ordered two dishes, she passed the menu to Su Xuan.

“Steak and lobster, please.” Su Xuan said.

“No problem.” Han Caiyin turned to the waiter nearby, “Also, two glasses of iced orange juice, please.”

“Certainly, please wait a moment,” said the waiter, turning to leave.

“Caiyin wife, do you often come here to eat?” Su Xuan asked.

“Occasionally,” Han Caiyin replied.

Su Xuan nodded and then said, “Caiyin wife, do you find it busier after the job change?”

“It’s actually been quite peaceful,” Han Caiyin said.

“After the crackdown in Qingshan City, it’s been much quieter than before, which has given the police station a break.”

“Su Xuan,” a deep voice came calling out.

Su Xuan was slightly annoyed, thinking who would be so blind as to interrupt his date with wife Cai Yin.

When he saw who it was that had disrupted his date, his irritation grew.

He said coldly, “Qin Wu, what do you want?

I’m warning you, I’m not in the mood to fight you right now.

If you mess up my date, I’ll kill you!”

Qin Wu looked wronged, “Brother Zhao, how dare I interrupt your date?

I’m here to tell you that Azure Dragon is in danger.

The news has been blocked by someone, so Miss Ziqing sent me to rush to Qingshan City overnight to inform you of this matter.”

“What happened exactly?” Su Xuan asked.

A fortnight ago, Azure Dragon, Ji Shang, and others had left the Ancient City and had been away from Qingshan City.

For over half a month, whether it was Ya Yu, Ji Shang, or Azure Dragon himself, none had contacted him, leaving Su Xuan complaining about having no one to practice with.

“After leaving Qingshan City, Azure Dragon returned to National Security with Ji Shang, but…

Azure Dragon had some old disputes with a few of the National Security elders.

Somehow, they ended up fighting, and as a result, Azure Dragon couldn’t defeat those elders and was left seriously injured by them,” Qin Wu said quickly.

“After being injured, Azure Dragon sought shelter from Mu Tianhou, the Mu Family Patriarch of the Eight Great Families in Beijing, but Mu Tianhou was unwilling to help Azure Dragon.

Out of desperation, and pursued by those National Security elders, Azure Dragon was chased to Fudang Mountain in Beijing, where, cornered, he jumped off a cliff.

Of course, the informants we from the Eight Major Families sent out didn’t find Azure Dragon’s body at the bottom of the cliff, so we suspect that Azure Dragon isn’t dead but just hiding somewhere.

And our Miss Huihui, remembering how you once saved her and Li Mingfei’s life, secretly asked me to come and inform you.”

On hearing the whole story, Su Xuan couldn’t help but get angry, “So these old men are quite tough, huh?

They dare to bully my younger brother.

Good, very good.

You go back and tell them if Big Green Worm is dead, I will kill them and make them accompany Azure Dragon in death!”

“This…” Qin Wu started to worry.

Su Xuan was asking him to deliver a message, which should have been simple, but the recipients were National Security elders.

If he delivered Su Xuan’s message, wouldn’t National Security find out it was the Xu Family who had informed him?

If Elder Xu knew that he told Su Xuan, when he returned, if not dead, he would at least be skinned, since the Eight Major Families maintained a delicate balance with National Security.

This relationship was similar to a Three Kingdoms standoff—each family itching for another to weaken so they could divide the weakest one or National Security constantly wanting to diminish the strength of the Eight Major Families.

The Eight Major Families, being Ancient Clans, had been in Beijing for hundreds of years with profound roots, and their homes were filled with countless powerful masters, no less than the experts nurtured by the Four Major Groups of National Security.

Additionally, the businesses controlled by the families were spread all over the world.

If any of the Eight Major Families wanted to betray the country, it would indeed cause significant damage.

Fortunately, the families exercised restraint and for nearly a hundred years had not engaged in any activity harmful to the nation.

Now, the country has established National Security as an organization partly to balance foreign forces, similar to America’s FBI, Japan’s Ninja Association, the Holy Church of the Sun Never Sets Empire in Europe, and other such non-human organizations.

Secondly, it was to govern the Eight Major Families in Beijing.

It can be said that any movement of the Eight Major Families was under National Security’s surveillance.

It could not be helped, given that the families had countless connections and descendants in the military, political, and commercial realms.

Such families, in ancient times, would definitely have suspicions of plotting to seize the throne or of rebellion.

It was because of this that Qin Wu was so concerned.

If National Security used this as an excuse to accuse the Xu Family of not taking them seriously and wanting to betray the country, National Security would have a way to deal with the Xu Family.

In order to clear themselves of suspicion, the Xu Family would only have to hand him over as a scapegoat.

Of course, handing him over wouldn’t mean National Security would kill him.

With his skills, joining National Security’s Earth Group wouldn’t be a problem, and as long as he remained loyal to National Security, his safety would be guaranteed.

“Su Xuan, I can’t bring this message to them,” Qin Wu said.

“However, I can give you a tip.

If you want to find Azure Dragon, you might want to visit Wuwang Mountain.”

“Isn’t Wuwang Mountain a cemetery?” Han Caiyin asked after listening for a while.

She had grasped the gist of the situation, and though she hadn’t met Azure Dragon, seeing the intense murderous intent Su Xuan radiated upon hearing that Azure Dragon was being pursued made it clear to her that Azure Dragon could be a brother or friend that Su Xuan cared deeply about.

Not the kind of underling Su Xuan claimed him to be; would he be so deeply concerned, to the point of radiating such intense and chilling murderous intent, over a mere underling?

“Yes, it’s a cemetery,” Qin Wu suddenly sighed.

“Azure Dragon is one of the few true men I’ve met.

For the woman he loves, he has endured far too much that he should not have had to bear.” “Is it Mu Rumeng?” Su Xuan asked.

Qin Wu paused for a moment, wondering who Mu Rumeng was.

Shaking his head, he explained, “The Mu Rumeng you’re talking about should be Mu Ziying.”

“But why does Big Green Worm call her Mu Rumeng?” Su Xuan asked.

“It could be a nickname Azure Dragon gave her, just like you call Chen Wanqing Yadan,” Han Caiyin explained.

Su Xuan came to an understanding and said, “Qin Wu, do you know the story between Azure Dragon and the woman he loves, Mu Ziying?”

“I know some of it,” Qin Wu nodded and began, “Azure Dragon…”
