Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

Misfortunes never come singly!

When Song Yun checked his pockets, he found only five yuan in change and a bunch of receipts; he must have forgotten his wallet in the morning rush.

Thinking about the more than ten-minute walk back to the research institute, he looked around and decided to take the subway home.

Though uncomfortable, nothing could beat the speed!

With just five yuan left, Song Yun relived his college days. He sat on a seat watching the crowded carriage and his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to years ago.

Back then, he was still naive, and his monthly living expenses were a mere 1,500 yuan. He dared not take a taxi when he went out, relying solely on squeezing into the subway for travel.

When the subway was less crowded, he could find a seat, but when it was packed, he couldn't even think about scrambling for one—at times, he might get carried off by the crowd without realizing.

It seemed that the Magic Capital's subway hadn't changed one bit, still the same old flavor.

Just as Song Yun settled comfortably into his seat, a patrol officer made his way into their carriage. Discover stories at empire

After looking around, he fixed his gaze on Song Yun.

"You, stand up!"

The patrol officer commanded with an arrogant tone.

Song Yun pointed to his own nose in disbelief and asked, "Are you talking to me?"

"Yes, you! Stand up!"

The patrol officer's tone grew impatient.

He saw that Song Yun had no intention of moving, and even reached out his hand to forcefully pull him up!

"I say, are you out of your mind? If you're sick, take some time off and go to the hospital!"

The bad luck Song Yun had been through today was already enough to give him a headache, and now this patrol officer must have ingested some kind of nonsense medicine, asking him to stand up for no reason—stand your grandma's leg!

"You dare curse at me?!"

The patrol officer said in disbelief, "I'm asking you to stand up because there's an international friend standing over there! Can't you display the spirit of politeness just a bit?"

"???"

Song Yun looked at the other person as if he were looking at an idiot. What the hell, everyone paid for a ticket to get on the train, why should he have to stand up just because that person was a foreigner?

Furthermore, that foreigner was holding onto a handrail with one hand and reading a book with apparent enjoyment—what the hell was the patrol officer so hurriedly fussing over?

"I said, can't you understand human speech? Didn't I tell you to stand up?"

The patrol officer continued to urge.

"Get lost, I'm in a really bad mood right now. If you dare say one more word, believe it or not, I'll kick you flying!"

Song Yun replied coldly and closed his eyes to rest.

But who would have thought that this single sentence would make the patrol officer's face turn red with anger, and he started hopping madly, shouting, "You disgrace! You have no sense of modesty. When international friends come to our country from afar, shouldn't we give them a good impression?! I think it's people like you who give us such a bad image abroad!"

"Aren't you done yet?! Walking around with your head wrapped up, still stuck in the old days, fawning over others at every turn! Where is your national self-esteem? I think instead of making me stand up, you should just kneel on the ground and let them sit on your shoulders—that would be even better!"

With these words, Song Yun drew applause and support from the other passengers.

Some even took out their phones to start recording.

The patrol officer, covering his face, shouted loudly, "No filming! Otherwise, I'll sue you for violating my right of portrait!"

"Get lost, lackey! I can hardly keep myself from beating you up!"

"Damn, in this day and age, to still have such a spineless attitude, your ancestors must regret ever having you!"

"You, as a patrol officer, are simply a disgrace to the image of Magic Capital! As soon as I get off this train, I'm going to file a complaint against you!"

The crowd verbally attacked the patrol officer, who seeing that things were turning against him, could only sneak away in annoyance.

After getting off the subway, Song Yun walked back home.

Arriving in the living room, Song Yun saw Wen Shu sitting on the sofa, hugging her legs tightly and trembling uncontrollably, looking utterly terrified.

"Mom, what's happened?"

Song Yun walked over to Bai Qiu and asked in a low voice.

"Wen Shu just received a phone call, and she's been like this since. No matter who asks her, she keeps insisting that she will only speak when you come back."

Bai Qiu looked at Wen Shu with some distress. She really liked this young girl and even considered formally adopting her as her goddaughter.

Now that Wen Shu had been frightened into such a state by a phone call, Bai Qiu was both angry and helpless.

"Wen Shu, who called you just now?"

Song Yun walked up to Wen Shu and bent down to ask gently.

"Song Yun!"

Wen Shu, like someone waking from a nightmare, suddenly jolted upright, grabbed Song Yun's shoulders tightly, and cried out, "They're coming! We're all going to die!"

"???"

Song Yun's sense of foreboding grew stronger. He asked intently, "Who are they?"

"They... they are some very mysterious people. I've seen them in the village before... They're... terrifying. They just called me and said that you have crossed them with some of your recent actions.

They wanted me to poison you, but after I refused, they decided to take matters into their own hands!"

"Song Yun! They are really powerful; we can't beat them! We have to run! Yes, running is the only option, surviving one more day is one more day. I'll go pack right now!"

Wen Shu, looking like a madwoman, stood up and ran toward the second floor.

But after only a few steps, she was struck on the neck by a chop from Song Yun's hand and passed out.

"What on earth is Wen Shu talking about? And why is she so afraid of them?"

Bai Qiu asked worriedly, "Could it be the hidden families causing trouble again? It shouldn't be, though. Wen Shu has a somewhat special status. Even if they wanted to turn her against us, they wouldn't activate this chess piece so quickly."

"Sigh, it seems like everyone is looking to cause me trouble these days."

Feeling dejected, Song Yun lit a cigarette and said, "Let's wait for Wen Shu to calm down before asking about the details. We must have bodyguards accompany our family whenever they go out now. I fear they're audacious enough to attack in broad daylight!"

"Mhmm."

Bai Qiu nodded in agreement. The situation at home was no longer like before when it was just the three of them. Now there were all sorts of people at home, including the most critical one, Ye Qingqing, who was carrying the next generation of the Song Family in her womb!

"Mom, I'll call Old Master Ouyang to see if there's been any movement in Forty-nine City."

Having said that, Song Yun went to the study.

After thinking for a moment, he called Old Master Ouyang.

"What's the matter, Song Yun?"

Old Master Ouyang asked in a gentle voice.

"Old Master, how are things in Forty-nine City lately?"

Song Yun asked cautiously.

"Hm? Didn't you just get back?"

Old Master Ouyang said in confusion, "Forty-nine City has always been the same, it's never changed. What exactly do you want to ask about?"
