Chapter 908: Pushing the Limits

Mr. and Mrs. Fu truly didn’t expect that their son could be so brave and even assist the police in cracking a major case.

That afternoon, upon receiving a message from Fu Yu, the two of them hurriedly watched the news carefully.

After watching it, Mrs. Fu immediately became anxious, completely not expecting their son to appear on the news… Wouldn’t this be quite dangerous?

Mr. Fu’s eyes widened, then squinted, laughter carving deep wrinkles on his face. He couldn’t believe it, yet felt quite excited, quickly grabbing the phone to call Fu Yu.

Fu Yu received the call just as he got out of the taxi.

He spoke to his dad while queuing up to buy a ticket.

Mr. Fu asked with concern, “Son, are you hurt? Are you still at the police station?… So you’re not going to the provincial capital, is that okay?”

Fu Yu’s mouth curved into a smile, youthful and spirited. He glanced at the long queue ahead: “No, I wasn’t hurt. I didn’t follow during the action, just helped as a witness. I’m queuing up to buy a ticket now, heading to the provincial capital this afternoon.”

Mr. Fu’s call was on speaker, and Mrs. Fu leaned close to the phone, unable to help nagging: “Son, next time something like this happens, just call the police, don’t get involved. It’s very dangerous. What if you got hurt?”

Mr. Fu gestured to his wife to stop talking.

Mr. Fu praised, “Son, you did the right thing. That zombie meat is definitely not a good thing. We can’t control what others do, but we shouldn’t participate either. However, your mom is also right; we shouldn’t stick our necks out too much. Our family can’t compare to others, we have no background. You’re all alone there in Bei’an, if something really happens, your mom and I are far away and can’t get there in time. You must take care of yourself! Think carefully before acting.”

Fu Yu chuckled: “I know, don’t worry. By the way, I have great news for you! This time in the provincial capital, I’m not going to receive an award. I was invited to join the National Herbal Cuisine Research Association as a consultant and will meet with the inspection team from the association tomorrow morning.”

Mr. and Mrs. Fu had never heard of the National Herbal Cuisine Research Association, but since it had “national” in its name, it must be quite significant.

“Wow! My son is amazing! He’s joining the research association.” Mr. Fu laughed, “Much better than your dad!”

Fu Yu was overjoyed by the praise, grinning widely, and quickly flattered his dad: “No way, Dad, you’re the best in my eyes! No matter how strong I am, I’m still your son.”

Mr. Fu felt gratified and happily said, “Alright, alright! Aren’t you queuing up for a ticket? Take care of your belongings.”

Mrs. Fu didn’t forget to hurriedly remind: “Son, can I discuss something with you? We know about your accomplishments, but don’t show off to Minghao. You know how competitive your brother is. He’s doing some live streaming thing now, not earning a penny, and relies on us for living expenses and tuition daily, unwilling to return to college. Now you’re buying a house and getting a raise, I’m worried he might feel unbalanced and can’t handle the mental pressure. Don’t mention it, okay?”

Fu Yu replied, “I know, I’ll be careful.”

In the middle of the call, Liu Yuqing’s call came in. Fu Yu didn’t answer immediately, as his mom was still nagging him with reminders.

After finishing the conversation with his family, Fu Yu quickly returned Liu Yuqing’s call.

Liu Yuqing excitedly talked to Fu Yu about the news event.

Fu Yu also explained to her that he was invited to join the National Herbal Cuisine Research Association as a consultant.

Upon hearing that Fu Yu had already bought his ticket at the bus station and was heading to the provincial capital, Liu Yuqing was overjoyed, asking for his arrival time before excitedly hanging up.

From Bei’an to the provincial capital, it’s only a three and a half hour bus ride.

Fu Yu arrived at the provincial capital’s bus station a little after seven in the evening.

On exiting, Liu Yuqing, holding her sister’s hand, was already waiting at the pick-up area.

This time going to the provincial capital, Fu Yu had deliberately spruced himself up, with a styled haircut. Even in the bulky winter down jacket, his tall and slim figure was quite noticeable among the crowd.

Fu Yu queued up to leave the station. As he exited, the two immediately saw each other.

With a distant gaze, Liu Yuqing waved her hand, ignoring her sister, and quickly walked toward him.

Fu Yu also hurried through the crowd. As they drew close, the two hugged tightly.

Even though they had only been apart for less than a day from Bei’an to the provincial capital, the feeling of missing each other was apparent.

After a quick “intimate” moment, Fu Yu held Liu Yuqing’s hand in one hand, while carrying his luggage with the other, greeting Liu Yunong a few steps ahead: “Master, have you been waiting long?”

Liu Yuqing suddenly remembered her sister was there!

She felt a bit awkward, holding Fu Yu’s hand, smiling sweetly and shyly.

Fu Yu, on the other hand, walked confidently, holding Liu Yuqing’s hand firmly and composedly, exchanging pleasantries with Liu Yunong: “Thankfully, Teacher Liu notified me in time. Otherwise, if I arrived any later, I would’ve missed the bus today.”

Liu Yuqing asked, “Did they arrange accommodation for you?”

Fu Yu said, “They didn’t mention it on the phone, but I know where they’re staying. I’ll find a place to sleep for the night and head there in the morning.”

Liu Yuqing said, “My sister and I have already booked a hotel, including one for you. My sister was worried you wouldn’t be familiar with this place and wouldn’t find a suitable spot.”
