Chapter 432: Chapter 433 Qiao Yutong In Trouble

Qiao Yutong really wanted to sew her colleagues’ mouths shut to stop them from babbling here, and she even more wanted to drug Song Xiaodong into mute silence. That guy was actually acting like he was her boyfriend, getting along with these detectives as if they were on fire.

"Haha, Little Song, just come and hang out at our detective team whenever you’re free. You’re so brilliant; you should teach us a few tricks. That way, everyone can protect themselves when they go out to catch criminals, and it would also increase our success rate, wouldn’t it?"

"Right, right, that’s a great idea. We should suggest it to the management. Over the years, many of the criminals we’ve caught were quite skilled, and our work is becoming more and more dangerous. It’s really necessary to enhance our capabilities."

Song Xiaodong laughed, "No problem, that’s a small matter."

Just then, Song Xiaodong’s phone rang—it was from Xiao Haiqing. He had been waiting outside for a while and was getting worried since he hadn’t seen Song Xiaodong come out.

Song Xiaodong answered the phone, told him he’d be right out, and then said to everyone, "I have something else to do. I won’t chat with you all today. Let’s have a good chat another time when I’m free."

Everyone enthusiastically saw Song Xiaodong off. Seeing that Qiao Yutong stood still in her spot, Old Song frowned and said, "Xiao Qiao, your boyfriend is leaving, and you’re not going to see him off?"

Qiao Yutong’s lips twitched, and then she quickly followed him.

"Bastard, it’s all your fault." Qiao Yutong gritted her teeth.

Song Xiaodong replied with a wicked smile, "You can’t blame me for that. The ’eight times in one night’ comment was your own words."

"You jerk, couldn’t you have explained them?"

"Do you think explanations would have worked in that situation? If you thought they would, why didn’t you explain?"

"I..." Qiao Yutong suddenly found herself speechless, and she stealthily punched Song Xiaodong in the back, saying, "You’re great, really great. Just you wait; we’ll settle this score slowly."

"No problem, I’ll catch a couple more bad guys for you in the future, then it’ll be all good," Song Xiaodong grinned and then quickly walked a few steps to meet Xiao Haiqing.

Watching Song Xiaodong and Xiao Haiqing leave, Qiao Yutong was incredibly frustrated. She was definitely in for it now; she would become the butt of jokes in the detective team for a while.

Qiao Yutong’s fears were not unfounded, and it wasn’t just for a while, but it started immediately. As she turned and walked toward the office, the male colleagues she encountered looked at her with ambiguous gazes.

Encountering female colleagues was even worse; they directly grabbed Qiao Yutong and said teasingly, "Xiao Qiao, you really found a great boyfriend, ’eight times in one night’, you’re really lucky."

Qiao Yutong’s face darkened immediately, "If you think it’s so great, you take him."

"Sure, ’eight times in one night’, just thinking about it is exciting. If you don’t want him, give him to me, but he probably wouldn’t be interested in me. You need to have the body and the looks like yours to spark such interest."

In the police team, the officers usually joked around like they were in the military because they dealt with extremely violent criminals all day, which was much more dangerous than regular police work and put a lot of mental strain on them. So joking around and telling silly stories was a way to release mental pressure.

Usually, Qiao Yutong would join in the banter under such an atmosphere, but being the target of everyone’s jokes really wasn’t pleasant this time.

The key issue was that she knew everyone was joking with good intentions, and she couldn’t afford to lose her temper with everyone, which was incredibly frustrating.

This ’eight times in one night’ reputation was probably going to stick with her for a long time.

"Bastard, wait till the day I push you down. If you can’t do it eight times in one night, I’ll castrate you," Qiao Yutong swore to herself inwardly, not even sure how she suddenly came up with such a bizarre idea.

"Dongzi, let’s find a place to talk," Xiao Haiqing suggested as he looked at Song Xiaodong.

"Sure." Song Xiaodong readily agreed.

Xiao Haiqing smiled, found a teahouse nearby, ordered a pot of tea, and after taking a few sips, he said, "Dongzi, I suddenly feel a bit tired."

"I say, President Xiao, you’re not even fifty yet, still in the prime of life, what are you talking about being tired?"

Xiao Haiqing leaned back in his chair, looking somewhat worn out, "It’s just that my heart feels tired. I’ve been in business for so many years, but I feel like my life is somewhat of a failure. My daughter is seriously ill, and I can’t protect her, I trusted my nephew, and in the end, he betrayed me."

"That’s just a small setback, not a big deal at all. Thinking like this, you seem to be really making a mountain out of a molehill."

"Right, I know that, but I just feel extremely weary inside. Thank goodness Yingying was fine; otherwise, I really would feel like life has lost all its meaning. Tell me, I earn lots of money, but with no family and no descendants, what’s the point?"

"You really don’t need to worry about that. Yingying will definitely be able to have children in the future. When the time comes, let her have a grandchild for you, then you’ll have a successor. Moreover, at your age, you can totally find someone else and have a child yourself."

"I..." Xiao Haiqing gave a bitter smile, "That’s actually not possible. After my child was born, I had a car accident, and I lost the ability to reproduce. So even after Yingying’s mother passed away, I didn’t think about finding someone else. It really doesn’t seem worth it."

"Oh, then let me take a look for you. I’m certainly most skilled with trauma, and although I haven’t come across this illness before, I can try to learn more about it."

"Right, you’re also a Divine Doctor, but I really have no intentions about this matter. Whether you look at it or not, it doesn’t matter to me."

"Trying it out won’t harm anything." Song Xiaodong smiled.

Xiao Haiqing looked at Song Xiaodong and didn’t stretch out his hand immediately, saying, "You know, if I really decide to have another child, it means I would have to leave an inheritance for him, which means Yingying would get less, and so would you."

Song Xiaodong chuckled lightly, "Thank you, President Xiao, for your kindness. Yingying and I will handle our own matters. Moreover, I’m really not short on money. Making money is quite easy for me."

"That’s true. Now that you put it that way, if Yingying ends up with you, I really have no worries at all. Having a kid isn’t such a bad idea."

"Right, come on, let’s have a look."

This time, Xiao Haiqing stretched out his hand, his face involuntarily showing a look of anticipation. Having a successor is an irresistible temptation for any successful person—a tradition ingrained deeply in everyone’s mind over the years.
