A hospital
Hai Aolei lay on the hospital bed, still unconscious.
"How is Miss?" the Hai family butler asked the doctor beside him seriously. The gentlemen were too busy, so only he had come to see her.
"My ribcage is broken."
Butler Yan's brows furrowed, his eyes filled with worry.
Who did it?
Cheng Xiao, who had just arrived, heard this and silently knocked on the door.
The boss made him clean up the mess, it's really a headache.
"Enter"
Cheng Xiao walked in unhurriedly and handed two documents to Butler Yan.
"Butler Yan, please take a look. Also, please give another copy to the head of the Hai family."
Butler Yan's eyes held a thoughtful expression; it was Cheng Xiao, the manager.
It seems his young lady has gotten into trouble again, but this time she's suffered a serious loss.
He was about to speak
"The information Butler Yan wants to know is all in the documents. Cheng Xiao will take his leave now." Having achieved his goal, Cheng Xiao left quickly without lingering.
Cheng Xiao ran incredibly fast, leaving Butler Yan no choice but to shut up.
His gaze shifted to the file folder in his hand. He untied it, took it out, and the more he looked at it, the more his brows furrowed.
Is Hai Aolei brainless? But he didn't dare say it out loud.
He silently put down the file folder, guessing that the head of the household had really lost face this time.
...
"Don't move!"
Dou Shiliu, holding the scissors, pointed them at the sake while acting coy and then yelled fiercely.
Xiang Qingjiu immediately stopped moving and let Dou Shiliu mercilessly torment his tousled hair.
Looking at the shortened ends of his hair, Dou Shiliu withdrew his hand with satisfaction.
Xiang Qingjiu looked at her with sparkling eyes and patted his shoulder.
"My husband is so handsome, let me kiss you~"
The light in her eyes was warm.
Even though they've been married for a long time, Xiang Qingjiu still couldn't help but blush.
His wife really loves saying mushy things, but he really enjoys it...
Dou Shiliu didn't seem to feel anything; she just said what she wanted to say.
The next day, Mo Ji called Dou Shiliu to tell her that Hai Aolei had been sent away and that she didn't need to worry about the Hai family causing her trouble.
Another thing is that she hopes Xiang Qingjiu can join the management team; he performed exceptionally well during training and could be added to the team attempting to eliminate the carrion.
Dou Shiliu paused for a moment, holding the phone, and remained silent.
Looking at Xiang Qingjiu busy in the kitchen, his eyes lowered.
Although the cannon fodder guy didn't say anything and obediently went home with her to be a stay-at-home husband, she felt that he still wanted to try. After all, he had been training for so long, how could he not want to see the result?
"how?"
Mo Ji's soft voice reached Dou Shiliu's ears, disrupting her thoughts.
"Um"
He gave a casual reply and hung up the phone.
If the cannon fodder leader wants to go, let him go; she'll protect him anyway.
...
That night, when Xiang Qingjiu was brought to the management building by Dou Shiliu, she was still a little dazed. She held her hand.
"What's your wife doing here?"
"Do missions with them"
"You joined the management team?"
No, it's you.
Xiang Qingjiu: "???" When did this happen?
Dou Shiliu watched as Mo Ji approached with a smile, leading his men over.
"This is Group E, responsible for the northern district of S city. Xiang Qingjiu is their newest member."
The leader of Group E stepped forward and extended his hand towards Qingjiu: "Hello, my name is Koi."
These are hands covered in calluses; judging from the web of his thumb, he is skilled with a whip.
"Hello"
The fingertips felt rough, but very strong.
He was a strong man, Xiang Qingjiu silently thought to himself.
Moji gave a few instructions and left, telling Ke Yi to take them to get the administrator's certificate.
After everything was ready, Koy led them on their mission.
This team has 5 people, plus Xiang Qingjiu, making 6. Ke Yi hasn't assigned any new tactics yet because he knows Xiang Qingjiu can leave at any time; their team is just for him to practice with.
When Mo Ji told him that, he felt insulted, but when he heard that his wife was Dou Shiliu, he immediately felt relieved.
Dou Shiliu is a big celebrity, with powerful figures protecting him. His teammates are less in danger, so what's there to worry about?
So Koy happily led them to the North District.
The north is slightly wealthier, and at night there are quite a few low-level carnivores that come out to prey on lone humans.
"Whoosh..."
With a flick of his whip, Koy transformed it into a beam of light, instantly obliterating the carnivorous creatures on the ground.
Koy efficiently directed his teammates, quickly eliminating the carnage on their side.
There's not much use for sake, but I'm happy to have some peace and quiet.
He no longer felt the same fear he had shown at the beginning regarding the carnivores. He remembered being chased around like a dog by a low-level carnivore, only to run into his wife. Thinking back to how he had been so wary of her back then, he couldn't help but chuckle.
Now he wishes he could be with her every single day.
Dou Shiliu had previously told him she was going to see an "old friend" and asked Ke Yi and the others to protect him.
There are only low-level carrion food available now, which pose no threat. Of course, Xiang Qingjiu doesn't need their protection right now either.
On the other side
Dou Shiliu looked up at his subordinates standing on the empty building.
"Get down"
Why stand so high?
"Alright! Big Sister!" Green Apple, with her green hair, flew over to Bean Sixteen in a flash, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"What's the boss doing?"
He started spitting out a language I couldn't identify into her language.
Dou Shiliu looked at the green-haired man expressionlessly: "Don't capture humans indiscriminately lately. The administrators are clearing out this area."
If it weren't for the fact that the host thought this younger brother was alright, she wouldn't have bothered with him at all.
"Oh, I got it, boss lady. You've been really awesome lately! You even beat that gluttonous Mo Hu to a pulp. You're absolutely amazing!"
Green Apple gave her a thumbs up
