Chapter 1163: Teasing the Newlyweds

One week later, in Xinglong District, the capital, at the San Li Tai Long Yu Global Villa.

“C’mon... bottoms up, bottoms up!” Cui Lizhu, who was playing the host, was extremely enthusiastic as she raised her wine glass and downed it all.

At that moment, Zhao Yu, Miao Ying, and the team members of the Special Investigation Group were gathered on the rooftop of the villa. They were enjoying a delicious barbeque and having celebratory drinks.

Unlike the previous cases, the involvement of the Secret Service Agency meant that the Special Investigation Group did not have to worry about tying up loose ends. The Secret Service Agency was managing practically everything.

The case of the treasure required a much higher level of security clearance than regular cases, so it made sense that the Secret Service Agency took over.

At the same time, the Cheng Lingfei case at Gao Lanqi’s end had also concluded. Zeng Ke and Ran Tao were now reunited with their team members.

With all the team members of the Special Investigation Group gathered, it was indeed a rare reunion.

In addition to Wu Xiumin and other senior team members, Xu Hai, Li Zhanbing, Li Beini, and Zhang Jingfeng were present as well. Everyone was in a jovial mood and having fun catching up.

“Come over!” Zhao Yu had already had a few glasses to drink. “Let me share something with you guys. You’ve gotta keep it a secret, ok?”

As soon as they heard that Zhao Yu was going to dish out some gossip, everyone stopped what they were doing and crowded around him instead.

“A reliable source told me,” Zhao Yu paused and checked the detector in his mind to make sure it was safe. “That the lousy Seraph organization has been taken down by Interpol! Their leaders were shot dead by the police, and the local government seized their assets!”

“Wow! They got hit really hard...” remarked Xu Hai. “Is it that serious? I used to hear about how influential this organization was in Southeast Asia. They dallied with many high-ranking government officials! How come this time around... why so fast?”

“Haha... let me tell you guys! We didn’t have to lift a finger,” sniggered Zhao Yu. “All of this... wasn’t done by us either!”

“Huh? It wasn’t us?” Everyone was puzzled.

“Of course.” Miao Ying rested her elbow on Zhao Yu’s shoulder. “Someone was even more anxious than we were! They couldn’t wait to put things in order! All we had to do was to watch from the sidelines as drama ensued!”

“That’s incredible...” Cui Lizhu nodded in approval. “It goes without saying that this was a result of Boss’ tricks. After news about the treasure was released, it became a hot topic, and the real masterminds – the real BOSS – must have panicked.”

“They went out for wool and came home shorn!” Wu Xiumin joked. “Come to think of it, we really ought to thank them! Had they not taken the initiative in provoking us, we wouldn’t have found so many precious treasures!”

“Team Leader is right...” Li Beini said. “Although the items found weren’t gold or precious gems, they’re much more valuable!”

“That’s right!” Miao Ying said. “According to preliminary analysis, the data collected is indeed invaluable. Their theories were so advanced that some of them remain superior even in this day and age. There were also some technologies related to agriculture, which would provide us a framework for new designs. These designs, once realized, would no doubt improve national production by leaps and bounds!”

“Sis Miao, I heard that they also found many manmade viruses, right?” asked Zeng Ke. “Is that also true?”

“That’s right. Back then, the Japanese army discovered the power of microbiological warfare. There were indeed many powerful chemical and biological weapons within,” replied Miao Ying. “These weapons not only prove the irrefutable fact of the Japanese invasion but are also very useful for our research.”

“I heard from a professor at the Capital Medical Academy that, although the biological viruses studied by the Japanese were for the purpose of war, that if put to use in medical science they would greatly benefit humanity!”

“Ah... that’s a double-edged sword...” sighed Zhang Jingfeng. He then raised his glass, saying, “Well then, let’s drink to humanity and world peace!”

“Dang! What a suggestion!” Everyone laughed and toasted.

“Actually, there’s something else which we’ve gained from this! It’s worth a mention!” Zhao Yu said. “We can finally put an end to the legend of the treasure which has been perpetuated for more than 80 years!”

“Hai!” Liu Zhanbing sighed. “After searching for more than 80 years, it turns out that the golden treasure was non-existent. If we had known this would be the case, it wouldn’t have been necessary to waste so much manpower and resources.”

“Yeah! I don’t feel good about the Japanese having used gold for war. More than 100 tons of gold!” Cui Lizhu exclaimed. “They bought planes and cannons with gold to attack the Chinese!”

“The chiefs of the Secret Service Agency mentioned that the other night!” Zhao Yu said solemnly. “They said that, although there isn’t any gold or treasure, we ought to remember how we were humiliated and work hard on surpassing the Japanese!”

“That’s right!” Cui Lizhu raised her hand and issued a call for action. “Let’s toast to hard work and progress!”

Everyone was in high spirits as they drank and made merry. They also continued chatting animatedly.

“Erm...” Li Zhanbing said to Zhao Yu. “Team Leader, our fierce battle at the Qing Imperial Palace; some of the thugs must have gotten away! I think it’s highly probable that they’ve already gotten hold of your information and data, so... shouldn’t we be more careful going forward?”

“Yeah, yeah!” Cui Lizhu added. “If not for Boss’ efforts, the case could have turned out very differently! So why don’t you go away for a few days and have some fun with Sis Miao?”

“Ha...” Zhao Yu smiled and bopped her nose. “Fun? Do you guys not know what day it is? Have you prepared red packets?”

Miao Ying blushed at the mention of red packets.

“Oh... oh...” Some of those gathered realized what Zhao Yu was saying.

“Let me give you a heads-up...” Zhao Yu thumped his chest, saying, “I don’t want to lose face, so make sure you prepare a cash gift of at least $2000! Even if it’s just an engagement party! Otherwise, don’t blame the mighty Detective Zhao for losing it!”

“No problem, no problem! As much as you like, as long as everyone is happy!” Cui Lizhu jumped in excitement. “How wonderful, Boss and Sis Miao! Your relationship has finally come to fruition! Bros, isn’t that cause for celebration?”

“Yeah!” Everyone cheered and clinked their glasses.

“But... there’s something I don’t quite understand. Are all wealthy families like you guys?” Cui Lizhu asked. “Why go to the trouble of planning something as grand as this for an engagement party and not a wedding? You might as well tie the knot while you’re at it!”

“Yeah man...” Ran Tao finally found an opportunity to speak. Rubbing his hands together, he said gleefully, “When that happens, we’ll be able to tease the newlyweds! Hehehe...”

He cackled wickedly. Upon seeing Zhao Yu and Miao Ying’s expressions, he remembered how intimidating the two of them were. Who would dare tease them on their wedding day?

Hence, he said hastily, “Let’s tease the bridesmaid instead! Hahaha... Sis Miao, make sure you find a pretty one, I’m single and ready to mingle! Hahaha...”

“Hey... Sis Miao already agreed to appoint me as her bridesmaid!” Cui Lizhu jumped out and grabbed Ran Tao by his ear. “How about you do it now? How about it, bro?”

“Ah? You? D*mn...” Ran Tao was frightened. Looking defeated, he quickly dropped to his knees and got ready to receive a beating...

Ran Tao’s screams and everyone’s laughter filled the air...
