Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 1060 - 11: You Still Can’t Resist Hamburgers

Wang Yunxiao ultimately did not stay to taste the stewed ox penis prepared by his mother-in-law.

Two days later, he finally saw the announcement of his engagement to Li Mumu in the newspaper.

Although it was just a small piece of space, in this era, it had legal effect.

Out of caution, Wang Yunxiao bought three copies and carefully kept them.

I can now be considered a family man, right?

So what should I do next? The holiday is still long.

Boss Mu said he wanted to see his daughter in a wedding dress, and Wang Yunxiao thought this request was not at all unreasonable.

He also wanted to see.

Things like diamond rings were inconsequential, as in this era, no one hyped up diamond rings.

Foreigners indeed have the custom of wearing wedding rings, but they’re mainly gold; whether they have gems or not doesn’t matter. Diamonds in this era were just one of many gemstones.

Wang Yunxiao had no money in his pocket, relatively speaking, to Boss Mu.

He could fully cover basic living expenses.

Over the past year, he had various incomes—more specifically, legitimate incomes, which added up to a considerable amount.

He hadn’t opened a bank account; he kept everything in the school’s financial account.

There was also the illegitimate income—the large sum confiscated from the Shen Family. After supposedly buying a Jade Throne Golden Buddha for Principal Zhou (which he did not), so long as the request was reasonable, Principal Zhou would issue him a note to withdraw money from the accounts department.

Getting married and starting a family was a reasonable request.

Wang Yunxiao got a note from Principal Zhou and withdrew two sums from the accounts room.

One was to buy a house for Dumpling, and the other was to be used for his own marriage.

And even more illegitimate income—the last time he crossed the world line to do business in Fusang, he made a side profit.

At that time, several captains along with Comrade Cheng Feng from the Secretary Bureau tacitly agreed not to report it.

Solve travel expenses on the spot, what’s wrong with that? Nothing at all.

The money was placed with Yan Yu’an and was laundered through his network. Currently, it was stored in an individual account at Xingguo Bank.

It was Wang Yunxiao’s personal little treasury.

Getting married, that’s all; there’s no need to use it.

The same goes for any era.

A single man, not considering buying a house or a car, has nowhere to spend money.

Even if you go out every day for a lamb hot pot, how much can you eat?

In the morning, seeing the weather was nice, after jogging around the school’s track for fitness, Wang Yunxiao estimated that the Eldest Miss Li should have woken up by now and sent her a message from his notebook.

"Let’s go wedding dress shopping today."

Half an hour later, he received a reply: "The sun’s too hot, I don’t want to get up."

The hell sun’s too hot! The sun at six or seven in the morning, yeah right!

Li Mumu obviously stayed up all night reading again.

Wang Yunxiao thought for a moment and changed his approach: "Meet me at noon in front of the Special Service Bureau, I’ll treat you to burgers, fried chicken, and icy cola."

Two minutes later, Li Mumu replied: "OK!"

This woman really can’t resist the lure of junk food.

Just eat it then, you’ll turn into Michelin sooner or later!

There was also a document to be delivered to the Special Service Bureau, so Wang Yunxiao planned to take care of that at the same time.

Strictly speaking, he wasn’t actually under the Special Service Bureau’s jurisdiction; the bureau was just the superior department of the Special Service Section, not the direct supervisory unit. It’s like the supervision office in a police department; while it’s established by the Supervision Bureau, it ultimately belongs to the police system.

But the Special Service Bureau had the authority to train and command special teams like theirs.

Even emergency teams affiliated with customs, like Yan Yu’an’s, had to follow their orders.

Wang Yunxiao’s personnel records were stored at the Special Service Bureau, but had now been transferred by the Navy.

Upon arriving at the Special Service Bureau, he paid a routine visit to his mentor.

"What the Navy needs resolving are national strategic-level issues; be honest over there, follow commands from above, and stop with the personal heroism,"

said Liu Zhihan earnestly.

What personal heroism did I show? Every time, it’s them bringing trouble to me!

Wang Yunxiao grumbled internally.

"Internal processes have been completed; here’s your bonus and special work allowance,"

Liu Zhihan handed over a thick envelope.

"There’s an allowance too?"

Wang Yunxiao was somewhat in disbelief.

"There wasn’t one before. The new department just opened, systems weren’t complete. This was newly approved by the director."

"Huh? We have a director now?"

Wasn’t the director sent away for support elsewhere? Finally back?

"A new director, just arrived a few days ago. You’re no longer part of the special service system, so don’t ask too much. Also, here’s a red envelope from me, wishing you and your bride a happy marriage."

Oh no, I can’t accept this! Teacher Liu!

Receiving the red envelope, Wang Yunxiao beamed with joy.

"I didn’t expect you to know about this too, I’ll definitely invite you out to eat when the time comes."

"No need for that, I have no interest in showing up anywhere. Also, visit the Containment Department; Director Xia has something to discuss with you."

"So where is the Containment Department actually?"

Wang Yunxiao had been to the Special Service Bureau numerous times but never saw an office with a Containment Department sign.

"Third basement level."

The Director of the Containment Department was Xia Yubing.

If it weren’t for glimpsing her at a meeting last time, Wang Yunxiao wouldn’t even know that the Special Service Bureau had a Containment Department.

Of course, he wasn’t truly one of the insiders of the Special Service Bureau and didn’t deal with intelligence, so it was normal not to know.

Wang Yunxiao was not familiar with Xia Yubing, only aware she was quite close—or maybe more—with Li Mumu... oops! They had a close relationship.

And Li Mumu, according to her own account, was once a case handled by the Containment Department.

However, the third basement level had no office space.

Descending the stairs, passing through a dark, unlit corridor, he found a room without any signage at the end.

Beside it, in pencil, was the number "301."

Inside, it was pitch black, with nothing besides a coffin, two candles, and a black-and-white photo.

Wang Yunxiao tentatively knocked on the door from the entrance.

An eerie voice came from behind him, "Come in and sit."

A shiver ran down Wang Yunxiao’s spine as he turned to see Xia Yubing standing in the shadows, watching him expressionlessly.

Where do you want me to sit?

"No thanks, Director Xia, why did you call me?"

"Nothing major, and even if I told you, you probably wouldn’t listen."

Xia Yubing whispered, "I want to advise you not to marry Li Mumu, just have fun, don’t get too serious. Otherwise, you’ll regret it."

"Why?"

Wang Yunxiao asked puzzledly, "Is there something behind this that I should know but don’t?"

"There is."

Xia Yubing nodded and said, "The two of you have already been targeted. Nothing good will come from being together."

"The two of us? Who’s targeting us?"

The more Wang Yunxiao listened, the more confused he became, "Are we breaking some sacred rule by dating?"

"Well-used tools naturally are desired by many,"

"You don’t think the annihilation, and Tushan’s, those time-reversing monsters, encountering you was just a coincidence, do you?"
