Chapter 223: Chapter 149: Do You Have No Regard for the Imperial Family

Xiao Juzi tattled loudly, "Mom, these people want to change the Big Honeybee’s password!"

Shu Yao told Shu Chao Yu to take Zaizai inside.

’This is an adult matter. It’s not good to drag a child into the middle of it; it sets a bad example.’

Once Xiao Juzi was gone, the smile on Shu Yao’s face vanished in an instant.

She shot a cold glance at Andre and his men. "Changing the password to my Flying Machine without my consent? Is this some kind of joke?"

Andre explained, "The Zone One Traffic Police Headquarters is conducting a routine inspection by order. If the owner doesn’t cooperate, we have the right to take compulsory measures!"

"And yet, you don’t seem to have asked me, the owner, what I think!" Shu Yao retorted sarcastically. "Oh, the Zone One Traffic Police Headquarters is so impressive. Wielding your petty authority like a royal decree, bypassing the owner to do as you please. Who gave you that power?!"

Hearing her deliberately provocative tone, Andre straightened his posture, putting on the superior air of someone from Zone One’s upper class.

"We just need to inspect the cabin. What are you so afraid of?"

"And which eye of yours saw me being scared?" Shu Yao scoffed. "Afraid of you? Please!"

His attempt to rile her up had failed, and he had even been insulted for his trouble. Andre’s expression turned ugly.

"If you refuse to cooperate, we’ll have no choice but to force our way in!"

"Resorting to force? Oh, you’re so tough." Shu Yao put on a false show of admiration before sneering. "I assume it wasn’t His Majesty who sent you. So, the three of you... whose lapdogs are you?"

Andre started, "We received a civilian complaint—"

"Give me a break!" Shu Yao cut him off ruthlessly. "His Majesty originally intended to let this matter die down. But since you can’t learn your lesson and don’t know when to quit, I don’t mind blowing this up a little more."

Andre’s face was taut, his tone stiff. "We are fulfilling our duties in accordance with laws and regulations! If you have an issue, you can file a complaint against us at the Zone One Traffic Police Headquarters afterward! Or, you could go run and cry to the Emperor again! That’s what you’re good at, isn’t it!"

Shu Yao scoffed. "You don’t actually believe His Majesty is letting this go to protect the Austin family, do you? And you don’t actually believe that running to him is the only way I have to deal with the Austin family?"

Andre said smugly, "The Austin family will endure as long as the Federation does! It doesn’t matter how many times you run to His Majesty. You can’t touch us!"

"Oh, really? If you’re so untouchable, why didn’t you even have the courage to use the special access channel to get here?" Shu Yao chuckled. "The chief engineer of the main brain, Antoine, is under 24/7 surveillance. Do you think His Majesty is just playing games? Are you enjoying yourselves?"

Layer by layer, she stripped away Andre’s facade of confidence.

As the two sides faced off, a Flying Machine slowly descended and landed in front of the Shu residence.

Seeing the imperial insignia on the Flying Machine, the two subordinates immediately panicked, instinctively drawing closer to Andre.

Shu Yao watched them and sneered, "You have the naive thoughts of a three-year-old, but your guts are filled with nothing but fear!"

Andre was alarmed and uncertain.

’Why would someone from the Imperial Family be here?’

Shu Yao remotely opened the electronic gate with her Light Brain.

When he saw the person stepping out of the Flying Machine with the imperial insignia, the color drained from Andre’s face.

’It’s the Commander-in-Chief!’

Xiao Juzi, who was with his grand-uncle, raised a hand and pointed at the man.

"Ah, it’s him!"

Shu Chao Yu lowered Zaizai’s rude little hand. "You remember him from our victory party?"

"I saw him at Mom’s school! And that time with the fish~" Xiao Juzi said. "He’s the boss of that nasty guy!"

Shu Chao Yu was astonished. "How do you know that?"

"He said so himself, at Mom’s school~"

Shu Chao Yu was completely baffled. ’Xiao Juzi met the Commander-in-Chief at school, and I’m only just now finding out about it!’

Qin Shiwei arrived with an investigation team.

Shu Yao froze for a second. ’I didn’t expect him to come in person.’

Qin Shiwei walked toward her, step by step. With his approach, his deep, dark-green eyes seemed to light up.

He stopped in front of Shu Yao, a faint smile on his lips. His voice was warm and deep, as pleasant as a fresh breeze over the grasslands. "Good afternoon, madam."

Seeing the Commander-in-Chief take the initiative to extend a hand to Shu Yao in a gesture of goodwill, the onlookers were stunned.

Shu Yao fought to suppress a smile, then graciously placed her hand in his.

To the utter astonishment of everyone watching, the Commander-in-Chief lifted her hand, bent down, and placed a gentle kiss on its back, which was so pale the faint blue of her veins was visible.

The touch of his thin, cool lips sent a shiver through Shu Yao as if she’d been struck by a spark, and a hot blush crept up her cheeks.
