Chapter 1: Chapter 001 She is my Daughter-in-law
Jiangdu City, Imperial Grand Hotel, Room 208!
"Officer Beauty, it's really not what you think it is…"
A scruffy young man was sweating profusely as he tried to explain himself to the icy female police officer staring him down.
"Hmph, if it were what I'm thinking, I'd have gunned you down by now," the female officer glared at the disheveled youth and commanded coldly, "Get against the wall, stand straight!"
Next to the messy youth stood an attractive woman with a good figure, dressed in a white professional suit.
The beauty turned her head, covering her delicate face with a hand, a look of panic and shame on her face.
"Still covering your face? Now you know shame? Realize how disgraceful this is?" the female officer sneered.
"Comrade officer, we really weren't engaging in improper conduct, you can check, this room was booked with my ID card," the woman in white bit her silver teeth tightly, her eyes brimming with tears.
"So, just because you booked the room, it means you couldn't have been up to improper conduct?" After saying this, the female officer gave Wang Dadong a particularly disdainful glance as if implying that even if she were to look for someone, she would look for someone decent. This guy, hardly different from a migrant worker, what terrible taste!
At this moment, Wang Dadong wanted to cry; damn it, had he known, he wouldn't have played Truth or Dare with those bastards before coming back.
Now, well-known worldwide as "Hell's Death Knell," he's facing a trip to the police station to have tea with Uncle Cop—or rather, Sister Cop—on the very first day he returned to his home country.
For the average person, the name "Death Knell" might be unfamiliar, but in the world of mercenaries, it's a name that resounds like thunder.
Because he is the leader of the number one mercenary organization, Hell.
A year ago, hailed as the King of Mercenaries, "Hell's Death Knell" undertook a mission that shocked the entire mercenary world—an SSS-level mission.
A Grade S mission, in the mercenary world, is known as an impossible task, and SSS level, even more so, is referred to as a God Annihilation Level mission, implying that even a divine being couldn't complete it.
Moreover, no one other than the person who accepted the mission knew what its contents were.
After accepting the mission, Death Knell vanished from people's view for a whole half year.
During the half year of Death Knell's disappearance, people speculated that the leader of Hell had likely perished during the mission.
Unexpectedly, half a year later, Hell's Death Knell reappeared and had completed the SSS-level mission.
At once, the entire mercenary world boiled over. It was unprecedented in the history of the mercenary world for anyone to complete an SSS-level mission, but Death Knell had done it.
Consequently, Death Knell was crowned the strongest mercenary, without a rival.
However, after obtaining this title, Death Knell unexpectedly stopped accepting missions and became depressed and despondent.
As for what happened during the SSS-level mission, Death Knell never mentioned it to anyone.
Half a year later, Hell's Death Knell, a name that reverberated in the mercenary world, announced his withdrawal from the mercenary stage.
After leaving Hell, Wang Dadong returned to Huaxia, the place that gave birth to him and raised him.
The reason for his return was simple—he had gotten married.
Although he had yet to meet the woman on the marriage certificate, just her photo was enough to excite him quite a bit.
On the night of departure, Wang Dadong and some of his former subordinates played a game of Truth or Dare, with the loser having to knock on a random hotel room and embrace whoever answered for a minute, whether it was a man or woman.
Wang Dadong lost and luckily, the door was opened by a woman, and not just any woman, but a stunningly beautiful one.
In order to have the other person embrace him for a minute, Wang Dadong shamelessly concocted a story, claiming that today was the anniversary of his marriage to his deceased wife.
He had once promised his late wife that he would definitely find another person who loved him by their first wedding anniversary.
But he couldn't let go of his late wife, and therefore had not sought anyone else, so he hoped that the other person would hug him on this special day, even if it was just to fulfill a promise to his deceased wife.
Women are generally easily moved by such stories, so Qin Xue agreed to Wang Dadong's request.
Unexpectedly, before they even started, the door was violently kicked open by a female police officer.
Although the situation was not what the female officer had imagined, they were now caught red-handed and at a loss for words.
"Show your IDs," the policewoman demanded, waving her Type 54 pistol and trying to act fierce.
The policewoman was actually quite pretty, around twenty years old with the obvious innocence of youth still on her face. She appeared to be a fresh graduate from the police academy, her figure was incredibly voluptuous, and she wore a dark green uniform, police skirt, black boots, her hair neatly tied back, giving her an air of spirited bravery.
Wang Dadong couldn't take his eyes off her. A beauty like this policewoman would make even those with no intention to commit crimes want to commit one.
The little policewoman grew even angrier under Wang Dadong's gaze and nearly smashed her gun butt onto his forehead. "Didn't you hear me asking for your IDs!" she exclaimed.
Startled by her, Wang Dadong jolted and reached for his ID, but the first thing he came in contact with was a hard notebook; it gave him an idea.
Qin Xue was filled with regret. Why had she agreed to such a request? If word of this got out, they'd be on Jiangdu City's headlines by tomorrow. This was a disaster.
Just at that moment, a warm sensation went through her fingers; her hand was caught in Wang Dadong's palm.
The sudden turn of events left Qin Xue at a loss.
Just as she thought to struggle, a weak, mosquito-like voice entered her ears, "Cooperate with me."
Although she didn't know what Wang Dadong was planning, could anything be worse than the current situation?
Since the police officer was there, he wouldn't dare to do anything rash; in the end, Qin Xue gave up resisting and let his strong hand interlock with her slender fingers firmly.
For some reason, Qin Xue felt a strong sense of security from Wang Dadong's warm grip, and it calmed her panicked heart considerably.
"Ah, you dog couple, daring to get cozy right in front of me, a beautiful police officer. I will..." The young policewoman instantly flew into a rage, as if she was being utterly ignored.
Seeing that Qin Xue was not resisting, Wang Dadong cleared his throat and said, "Don't spout nonsense; she is actually my wife."
The female officer, about to explode, had a sneer on her face. "Your wife? You think I'm stupid? With your looks, you managed to marry someone like her?"
Her gaze toward Wang Dadong was filled with scorn and disdain.
Standing together, one was a flower, the other was cow dung.
Using the flower to adorn the cow dung was giving Wang Dadong too much credit.
"She is indeed my wife; if you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do," Wang Dadong said discontentedly.
"Fine, then tell me: which year was she born, when did you two get married, and, what are her three sizes?" the policewoman bombarded him with a string of questions, almost dumbfounding Wang Dadong.
Seeing Wang Dadong's stupefied expression, the policewoman smugly curled her lips. Got stunned, huh? Fooling grandma isn't that easy!
Hmph, you'd better just come with me to the police station quietly!
