It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 388 [037] Family Responsibility and the Sheriff's Determination
Driving from the 12th district of the inner city to the 3rd district of the outer city, Mu Yue held the steering wheel and fell into deep thought, the street scenes on the road silently receding.

Yesterday, she went to see the Chief of Police during lunch break for the first time and discussed her personal affairs with her uncle.

In order to prevent outsiders from hearing, the Chief of Police considerately lowered the roller blinds in the office and closed all the doors and windows so that his troubled niece could open up.

Contrary to her usual efficiency, Mu Yue hesitantly told the story of Qin Jian and Dan Walei's intimate photos and asked her uncle for his opinion.

After Han Tianxiong listened patiently, his face looked unusually calm under the illumination of the computer screen:

"As the Chief of Police, I can say responsibly that the head of a violent organization has to deal with human lives with every decision he makes, so the actual pressure is very high. Even I have some stress relief methods that are not suitable to be revealed to others. If Qin Jiandan only uses sex to relieve stress, it is considered a relatively mild symptom. I suggest that you cooperate with him more."

Mu Yue was in a dilemma: "This is not a matter of cooperation or not, and I'm not like him..."

The Chief of Police interrupted his niece: "If you are not his opponent in that aspect, then give him some permissions. You have learned about the marriage customs in the outer city for a long time. Qin Jiandan is the person in charge of the Night Dragon Society, and Mu Yue and I are responsible for the family's honor. Don't destroy our alliance because of trivial matters."

Mu Yue was not surprised that her uncle put family and alliance first, but that didn't mean she could accept it:

"I have already turned a blind eye to the customs of the outer city! But it's okay for others, but how could Vale betray me? She should be my best friend!"

The Chief of Police's tone remained unchanged: "The Furui people have a different view of love. Maybe Vale herself doesn't think it was a betrayal. However, if you refuse to forgive her no matter what, I can ask the company to transfer her to the T unit, which has a higher casualty rate."

Mu Yue took a deep breath. Even though he was the sheriff of District 12, Mu Yue had only heard of the existence of the T Force. It was said that it was an elite force under the direct command of the company, maintaining order in Ringstone City on a secret front. The reason why it was called the T Force was that they were likened to T cells in the human body, which were life units that specialized in killing bacteria, viruses and cancer.

"No, that's not necessary. Vale is not an elite..."

Mu Yue couldn't bear to transfer Vale away and could only scare the other party over the phone. Today, he drove the police car particularly violently and arrived at the outer city in much less time than usual.

Seeing the gate of the Night Dragon Society's headquarters from afar, Qin Jiandan and Valei were already standing there to greet them. I'm afraid even the Chief of Police himself might not receive such treatment, which shows how guilty the two of them are.

"Squeak--" Mu Yue stepped on the brakes when she was very close to the two of them. Qin Jiandan and Walei dodged in panic and hit their heads because they were hiding behind the same lamppost.

Several guards at the door whispered, "Young Master, you are so high-ranking, yet you are afraid of your wife..."

After getting off the police car, Mu Yue pulled a small suitcase. Qin Jiandan and Valei competed to show their courtesy and wanted to help Mu Yue pull it, but Mu Yue disagreed and gave them a cold look along the way.

Arriving at the 6th floor of the guest house, in Valei's private large room, Qin Jiandan drew the curtains to prevent anyone from peeping in. Valei made several attempts to pounce like a dog welcoming its owner, but Mu Yue stopped him with a stern look.

After entering the room, the female police officer did not take off her police hat and hung it on the coat rack. She remained fully armed in uniform and seemed ready to interrogate Qin Jiandan and Walei at any time.

As soon as she entered the room, Mu Yue saw the annoying double bed in the room. Vale quickly explained, "I've been living alone these days, and Jiandan definitely didn't come over at night!"

Mu Yue turned her eyes away, pulled a folding chair next to her and sat on it. Without saying a word, she let Qin Jiandan and Valei sit obediently on the double bed opposite.

"The criminals who destroyed the sewage sluice have been caught by the police department." Mu Yue talked about official business first. "They are just a few unknown people from the Nian Society. They will never admit that someone with a higher status was involved in this matter."

Qin Jiandan had expected this result. Guild wars cannot completely avoid the interests of the company, so it is necessary to sacrifice miscellaneous soldiers. Whether they violated the rules of the guild or owed loan sharks, there was always no shortage of such talents in the outer city.

Valei leaned on his face to the right of Qin Jiandan and said, "Is it not possible to give them the Great Memory Restoration Technique..."

Qin Jiandan did not let Vale divert the topic. He told the story of the two people's search for the message from the police chief's mother in chronological order. At first, Mu Yue didn't think anything of it, until Uncle Gear attempted suicide and his mother's message on the Dark Space Network "The door is closed, and the oppression is eternal" surfaced. Qin Jiandan and Linlin unexpectedly learned about their own life experiences and the truth about the birth of Huanshi City there...

There was so much information. Mu Yue pressed his hands to his temples and thought for a while, then took off his police hat and hung it up.

Could it be that deep thinking requires heat dissipation? Qin Jiandan did not dare to ask.

"...Jiandan, you are actually a passenger on the immigration ship, one of the original people?"

"That's right." Vale said, "Counting the time he spent in the hibernation chamber, he is more than 100 years older than you. What a lolita complex!"

Mu Yue ignored Valei, leaving the dog who was trying to amuse its owner very lonely. "You and Linlin were separated from your parents at such a young age... It must have been very difficult to wander the streets." Mu Yue sighed. "But the speed of time passing in Ringstone City is different from that on Earth, which is good news. Only 10 years have passed there, so you may still see your parents."

Qin Jiandan knew that Mu Yue was probably reminded of her mother whom she would never see again.

Mu Yue paused and asked, "Do you think that 'The gate is closed, and the oppression is eternal' refers to the closing of the Earth portal?"

Qin Jiandan nodded: "There is no other more reasonable explanation. My mother-in-law might be..."

Mu Yue frowned. She didn't like Qin Jiandan calling her mother like that, but if she changed it to "your mother", it would add two more words and waste precious communication time.

Qin Jiandan continued, "Visiting the Dark Gap website is strictly prohibited. My mother-in-law must have discovered some truths and conspiracies about the company, and out of a sense of responsibility wanted to warn everyone, so she had to leave a message on the Dark Gap website. The reason why the message was so obscure may be because of cognitive shielding, and she couldn't say it more clearly."

Vallee echoed, "My mother-in-law is such a brave person! It's a pity that I have never met her!"

Mu Yue frowned even deeper. Her mother had suddenly become the mother-in-law of two people. It was obvious what kind of unreasonable thoughts these two people had about her.

After taking the glass of water Qin Jiandan carefully handed over and drinking it to moisten her throat, Mu Yue said, "Based on the current intelligence, the company is the mastermind behind the police car bombing. I plan to inherit my mother's legacy and work with the people of Huanshi City to break the company's oppression. In this way, Jiandan and Linlin can also return to their parents."

Qin Jiandan hesitated and said, "The portal is one-way for living things. If I go back, I won't be able to come back."

Mu Yue snorted: "No one is looking forward to your return."

There was a moment of silence. Everyone knew that in Ringstone City, rebelling against the company was a matter of life and death. Once one decided on this path, the journey would be filled with blood and thorns.

Valei scratched his face and said, "Xiao Yueyue, you don't have to be angry all the time... Your relationship with the fried egg is far more than just two minutes of pleasure, right?"

Qin Jiandan rolled his eyes at Walei, thinking that everyone has a first time, and Mu Yue said it herself: two minutes is already very impressive.

"My future investigations will no longer revolve around my mother," Mu Yue said. "I will use the Dark Rift Network and any other channels to investigate the company's specific plans to close the portal, and do everything I can to stop them."

This is a clear declaration of rebellion, which would have resulted in the execution of nine generations of the clan in ancient times. Qin Jiandan admired the sheriff's courage:

"You can use the Night Dragon Society's resources and intelligence as much as possible. You and I are on the same front in fighting the company."

Mu Yue lowered her eyes, then raised them again: "I admit that it would be very difficult for me to investigate the company alone without the cooperation of the Night Dragon Society. But my cooperation with you does not mean that I forgive you."

"I understand." Qin Jiandan has been keeping a low profile. "For the Night Dragon Society, the Ni'an Society and the company must be defeated. But Mu Yue, you must be careful within the police department. The police department... even your uncle will not support your latest decision, right?"

The policewoman's lips opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

The Police Department is the family business of the Han family. Although it is nominally to maintain order in Huanshi City, it is more to ensure the absolute rule of the company. Uncle attaches great importance to the honor of the family, and it is hard to imagine him risking everything to rebel against the company.

Although she was very angry about Qin Jiandan and Wa Lei's sneaking away, she had to admit that the people Mu Yue could trust at this moment and the people who could continue to resist the company were these two bastards in front of her.

Somehow, Mu Yue remembered the Forui girl she wanted to save but failed to save during the Collector incident. She couldn't imagine what she would do if Valei suffered the same fate.

"Yeah!" Mu Yue finally cleared her throat and concluded, "I am very grateful for your efforts in investigating my mother's affairs, but one thing is one thing, I am not ready to forgive you yet. Let's just deal with business first, I'll take my leave."

Regardless of Qin Jiandan and Walei's requests to stay, Mu Yue returned to the police station without looking back. Qin Jiandan and Walei felt regretful, but they also found that Mu Yue had forgotten to take her small suitcase with her.

When they opened it, they saw Vale's uniform, a walkie-talkie, and an electric baton.

The husky girl burst into tears of joy: "Xiao Yueyue obviously wants me to go back! Otherwise, why would she specially send me equipment? Oh yeah! I like this kind of frankness the most!"
