255: If you are too successful when you are young, you will easily fall.

Jiang Che was speechless after hearing Pei Yunxi's answer.

Although he really didn't want to admit it, Jiang Che also knew that everything Pei Yunxi said was true.

Hmm… he did really like playing some role-playing games…

“You little rascal~”

Seeing Jiang Che's speechless expression, Pei Yunxi gave him a charming glare, pursed her lips, and giggled, her body shaking with laughter.

After all, she rarely saw Jiang Che looking so flustered, and she felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

“Don’t just stand there dumbfounded, why don’t you come sit next to your older sister?”

Once Jiang Che sat beside her, Pei Yunxi naturally leaned against him, took out a bag of potato chips, and continued to watch TV with relish.

Pei Yunxi was the kind of person who had very clear boundaries, able to perfectly separate her life and work.

At work, she was a serious, ice-cold, diligent, and hot police officer.

In life, she was a lively, carefree, uninhibited, and even a bit dorky, straightforward older sister.

“Hmm… this anti-corruption drama is quite realistic…”

“It’s not too brainless either…”

Watching the TV series, Pei Yunxi offered various comments.

Art comes from life, and reality is often more fantastical than fiction.

As a police officer, Pei Yunxi largely agreed with the various plots depicted in the drama.

“Oh, by the way, Jiang Che, I’ve made another meritorious contribution recently!”

“Now, all my colleagues at the General Bureau praise me as the Lucky Carp Officer.”

“Yesterday, I led a team to arrest a guy named Ye Bufan. He's somewhat similar to Lin Tian from before, also a martial artist causing chaos and killing people.”

“Moreover, according to the Sky Net system investigation, Ye Bufan’s identity is not simple at all. He is a disciple of a cult leader from an overseas organization called Bright Saint Sect, a genuine evil second-generation!”

Mentioning her title of Lucky Carp Officer, Pei Yunxi's eyes lit up, her face beaming with joy and pride.

“Is that so?”

“Then I really must congratulate you. Will you be promoted again soon?”

Jiang Che raised an eyebrow, teasingly asking.

Jiang Che had already known about Ye Bufan's arrest by Pei Yunxi from the very beginning, so he wasn't too surprised.

Having been arrested by Pei Yunxi, and with his identity confirmed, this guy's ultimate fate could only be the same as Lin Tian's: sentenced to death and immediately executed.

“You're not unaware of the ins and outs of the system. How could promotion be so quick? This isn't a monster-slaying and leveling-up game.”

“Moreover, rising too quickly isn't always a good thing sometimes.”

“Achieving success too early in life can easily lead to stumbling.”

Pei Yunxi spoke earnestly, with a serious expression, lecturing Jiang Che.

“With your status, are you still afraid of stumbling, wife?”

“With my father-in-law, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, who would dare to trip you up.”

“Besides, don’t you still have me?”

“Believe it or not, your husband can get you the position of General Bureau Director within half a year?”

Jiang Che raised an eyebrow, asking in a teasing tone.

He very naturally lay on Pei Yunxi’s lap, burying his head near Pei Yunxi’s abdomen.

Helping Pei Yunxi get promoted was an extremely easy task for Jiang Che.

With family connections to smooth things over, and then just casually catching a few Dragon Kings, live-in sons-in-law, or War Gods to send to Pei Yunxi, wouldn't promotion be simple?

After all, whether it's a Dragon King or a live-in son-in-law, they generally have extremely impressive backgrounds abroad. Catching a few such guys and getting a special commendation would not be an exaggeration.

Regarding Shen Yaoyao’s Dragon King father, Jiang Che had already conducted a thorough investigation.

The Dragon King Hall's base was in America, its influence spread throughout the entire Western world, it had close ties with politicians from many countries, and its assets were global. It was a formidable giant with deep roots, having been passed down for centuries.

Abroad, Jiang Che might not have been able to do anything to this Dragon King.

But as long as this guy dared to return to Dragon Country, Jiang Che had a hundred ways to deal with him.

If you come to Dragon Country, if you're a dragon, you'll coil for me; if you're a tiger, you'll lie down for me.

Did he really think his title of Crown Prince of Jiangzhou was just for show!

“Don’t mess around!”

“Idiot, you know I don’t like getting promoted this way.”

“Besides, what’s so good about being a director?”

“I still prefer being the Captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, being on the front lines, battling wits and courageously fighting those criminals.”

Pei Yunxi reached out and twisted Jiang Che's ear, her beautiful eyes wide, a hint of seriousness appearing on her exquisite face as she fiercely threatened him.

She completely believed that Jiang Che had the ability to make her the Director of the General Bureau within half a year.

After all, she knew all too well how terrifying the Jiang Family's background was.

As the future successor of the Jiang Family, the people Jiang Che usually interacted with were all political dignitaries and rising stars.

Although he wasn't in politics, his influence was extremely widespread.

Despite her serious expression, Pei Yunxi couldn't help but feel a surge of joy and excitement inside, as sweet as honey, and very much appreciated.

After all, wasn't Jiang Che's ability to say such words enough to explain many things?

He definitely truly liked her, and she was in his heart!

[Pei Yunxi was overjoyed, emotional value +9999...]

[Pei Yunxi felt immensely happy, emotional value +8888...]

“Don’t worry, I’ll only promote you by having you make meritorious contributions.”

“Then I’ll send you a few leaders of dark world forces to play with…”

“After all, who could refuse to have a beautiful female director as a wife?”

Jiang Che's tone was playful, as he roughly explained his idea.

Pushing his woman to that position was definitely an extremely fulfilling thing to do.

“You scoundrel!”

Pei Yunxi's pretty face was charming, and she gently punched Jiang Che's back, not refusing too much.

If Jiang Che was truly determined to do something, her persuasion would have little effect.

Moreover, Jiang Che had already said that he wouldn't use connections to help her get promoted, but rather through meritorious service, which Pei Yunxi could completely accept.

The higher one's position, the better one can speak for the people, isn't that right?

Although being a criminal investigation captain was not bad, if she could truly become a director, wouldn't it open up a much wider world for her?

As for Jiang Che saying he would help her catch a few leaders of dark world forces…

Pei Yunxi didn't understand why Jiang Che was so confident in saying such words, as the strongholds of those guys were all overseas.

But she didn't delve into it too much. Everyone has their little secrets, and besides handling cases, Pei Yunxi wouldn't pry further at other times.

Respecting her man's privacy was very necessary.

Power is a man's best aphrodisiac; once one has enjoyed the various conveniences that power brings, it is difficult to give it up for a lifetime.

Similarly, this statement also fully applies to women.
