Chapter 214: 213 Because I have a big heart

「No… don't…」

On the mahogany bed draped with gold velvet curtains, a vague, resistant murmur sounded. The young prince with freckles on his face suddenly opened his eyes, kicked off the quilt covering his body, and sat up from the bed with a start.

「No! No! No!!! 」

Looking at the familiar, gorgeously decorated bedroom around him and smelling the faint incense lit by the maid before he went to sleep, Watching Qiaoshuya, wearing silk pajamas, could not help but let out a long breath. Amidst the crackling sound of wood burning in the fireplace, he leaned slowly against the head of the bed.

It was just a dream after all…

Leaning against the head of the bed and panting for a while, after suppressing his overly intense heartbeat, the freckled prince, whose pajamas were soaked through with cold sweat, rubbed his eyes, turned over and got out of bed with some fatigue, stepped on the pure white wool carpet, and walked toward the armchair opposite the fireplace, then sat down and looked out of focus at the leaping flames in the fireplace.

Even if it was just a dream, this frequently appearing dream was too real, as if there really was such a self who personally experienced a incomparably tragic future.

First, the Kingdom failed to resist the attack of the Kingdom of Kewangguo and was robbed of the land of two counties. Then, the neighboring country took the opportunity to invade, the Capital fell, rebellions arose everywhere, and subsequently, his mother was deposed, his father died of illness, and his sister was killed. The entire Kingdom walked to the edge of destruction.

And although he survived, because he had no talent, he couldn't turn the tide at all. He could only sell everything that could be sold, barely keeping the Royal Family from being completely wiped out, and drowning his sorrows in alcohol every day in endless regret and self-blame…

No! That won't happen! These are all dreams! They are all fake! It's those rebel people who want to influence me through nightmares!

Grabbing a biography on the side table and smashing it violently toward the fireplace in front of him, a burning anger could not help but appear on the freckled prince's haggard face.

It's all the fault of the damn Cleaning Bureau!

Especially that bastard who had good luck and succeeded to the position of Lionheart Duke!

According to the agreement with the Royal Family, these branch bureaus must send personnel to prioritize ensuring the safety of the royal families of various countries, but the damn Virgo branch bureau takes the Royal Family's funding but does nothing! Not only can they not guarantee his safety, but they even indulge that bastard in beating him!

Touching his face that had been slapped several times, the freckled prince could not help but clench his fists through gritted teeth.

When I inherit the throne in a few years, I must let them…

……

「Knock, knock-knock. 」

Just when the freckled prince was secretly being ruthless in his heart, a light knocking sound came from outside the door.

「Your Highness. 」

The maid responsible for taking care of his daily life asked softly outside the door:

「Have you rested well? 」

Taking a deep breath and calming the anger in his heart, Watching Qiaoshuya responded:

「What is it? 」

「It's like this, two guests want to come and visit you. They are holding the Cleaning Bureau's credentials and say they are here to solve the problem you mentioned last time. 」

Two people from the Cleaning Bureau… the problem last time?

Hearing the maid's report, Watching Qiaoshuya's heart could not help but jump, and he remembered the brutal mixed-gender double beating a few days ago, almost falling off the chair.

「Those two people… are they a man and a woman? Is the man black-haired, wearing an old overcoat, and looking a bit thin? 」

「No, two men came. 」

Noticing that the prince's voice was trembling slightly, and knowing what had happened two days ago, the maid quickly said:

「Your Highness, I checked specifically. The two guests who came this time are not the two people from two days ago. Their faces and body types don't match. 」

As long as they don't match, as long as they don't match…

The hellish experience of being beaten while being rescued a few days ago, being in pain until he fainted and then being in pain until he woke up, had truly left a not-so-small psychological shadow in Watching Qiaoshuya's heart. Hearing that the ones who came were not the two disrespectful bastards from last time, he could not help but let out a long breath and then ordered:

「Let them wait in the reception room first. I'll change my clothes and go over. 」

「Okay. 」

After the maid's footsteps moved away, Watching Qiaoshuya, who had two dark circles on his face, got up and left the area in front of the fireplace, changed out of the pajamas soaked with sweat, and immediately pushed the door open and walked toward the reception room.

Although the people from the Virgo branch bureau of the Cleaning Bureau deserve to die, this nightmare made him unable to sleep well these days. It was truly unbearable for even a day!

Watching Qiaoshuya, who was tormented by nightmares, walked quickly to the door of the reception room, waved his hand to dismiss the maid who wanted to come over to open the door, and pushed open the door of the reception room impatiently with his own hands. Looking at the two strange men on the sofa, he could not help but nod with satisfaction, then raised his head slightly and asked:

「Can you solve my nightmare? 」

「Yes. 」

Li Ang, wearing the face of "Xiao Jinmao," nodded and then stood up:

「Prince Watching Qiaoshuya, may I ask you…」

「No manners! 」

Seeing that this person from the Cleaning Bureau actually didn't salute him again, thinking of a certain man who also didn't salute him, the freckled prince's bad habits immediately recurred, and his eyes were cold as he scolded:

「Who let you call my name directly? And, your Virgo branch bureau has seriously neglected its duty this time, threatening my safety, and you didn't even… didn't even… ah? 」

Shocked to see the man's appearance twist, and finally turn into the appearance of the "demon" with black hair and black eyes that he would never forget in his life, Watching Qiaoshuya could not help but shiver, and then turned and ran without hesitation.

It was a pity that, regardless of reaction speed or physical fitness, the freckled prince was far too inferior.

Just as he turned his body around, before he could even take the first step, he was grabbed by the collar and dragged back by brute force.

「Don't worry, I won't beat you this time. I just have something I need your help with. 」

After moving his right hand, which was itching to move, Li Ang suppressed the urge to slap him again and negotiated with him amidst the screams of the maid outside the door:

「Tell me, do you have a way in your Royal Family to contact the General Bureau of the Cleaning Bureau directly? 」

……

Because the location of the General Bureau of the Cleaning Bureau was too secret, even Senior Jie Rui, a Level 2 Accident Handler, didn't know how to find the General Bureau, so Li Ang naturally set his sights on the Royal Family.

As for the reason, after he and Auntie Ai Ma gave Watching Qiaoshuya a mixed-gender double beating last time, the General Bureau received a complaint letter from the King that same day, and the Director immediately received a request to reprimand the two.

So the Royal Family must have the contact information for the General Bureau, and this method was quite fast!

Thinking of this, Li Ang, who was worried that the inquiry would have changes, immediately pulled Senior Jie Rui along to make a second follow-up visit to the freckled prince, preparing to use the Royal Family's channel to report the Aquarius Director's plot to the General Bureau.

It's just that… it seems a certain prince is not very willing to cooperate.

「Yo… you let me go! 」

After closing his eyes and shivering for a while, but not feeling the slap on his face, Watching Qiaoshuya, who had not been beaten when facing Li Ang for the first time, finally regained a little bit of lost courage and tried hard to stiffen his neck and warn:

「This time is different from last time. Don't think about using any excuses like helping me get rid of control to muddle through! If you dare to beat me again, be careful I'll let…」

「Alright, I've already said I won't beat you! 」

Looking at the freckled prince who suddenly stood up in his hand, Li Ang, who was anxious to report the news to the General Bureau and press the Aquarius Director to death, was in no mood to argue with him and directly urged:

「I have urgent matters to notify the General Bureau and must borrow your Royal Family's contact method. Hurry up and take me there! 」

「……」

So… this bastard now has something to ask of me?

Upon hearing Li Ang's words, the freckled prince could not help but be slightly stunned, and then a brilliant color suddenly burst out in his eyes. Although he looked a bit haggard because of the nightmare, now his whole person was refreshed.

「Let go! 」

After snatching his collar back from Li Ang's hand, Watching Qiaoshuya, whose two feet finally landed on the ground, sneered while tidying up his collar that had been pulled wrinkled:

「Want me to help you? You are simply… hmm…」

Looking at Li Ang's slightly narrowed eyes and the right hand that was subconsciously lifting up, the freckled prince, who had grown a lot after being beaten twice, instinctively swallowed the four words "wishful thinking."

「It's not completely impossible to take you to use the Royal Family's channel to contact the Cleaning Bureau. 」

After rationally changing his statement, Watching Qiaoshuya crossed his arms and looked at Li Ang, who was much taller than him, with his head held high, and ordered arrogantly:

◆c〇

「If you want me to help you, you have to kowtow and kneel to me! Then slap yourself! At least five…」

「Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! 」

I already told you to stop while you're ahead.

Raising his hand and slapping left and right, giving his brother-in-law, who couldn't find his place, five big slaps, looking at Watching Qiaoshuya, who was slapped to the ground in a daze, Li Ang sneered and asked:

「According to your request, five slaps are finished. Have you received my apology? 」

「……」

Is this the attitude you have when asking for help?

Feeling the unusually familiar pain on his face, Watching Qiaoshuya's eyes instantly cleared up, and then he began to rejoice that he had only just said "five," and the "ten" behind it hadn't been spoken before he was slapped to the ground. Otherwise, with the style of this cheap brother-in-law of his, I'm afraid the slaps on his face would have doubled ten times…

Hmm… wait? Cheap brother-in-law?

Discovering that something strange had suddenly appeared in his brain, the freckled prince on the ground began to recall in a daze.

That's not right! Am I not an only child? I don't even have a sister, where did… hmm? I seem to really have… sister… that woman… Veronica?!

……

「Hmm? 」

Just when the freckled prince in the Royal Palace suddenly completed the memory he had lost, an old man with long, narrow eyes and corners of his mouth and eyebrows slightly tilted downward could not help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

【Lost Past】 was unlocked? Did Neisen suddenly change his mind? Or is it…

Thinking of this, the old man lowered his head slightly and looked toward the position of a woman with a head of gorgeous red hair below the empty seat of the Virgo Director, and then received an unusually brilliant smile from her.

「……」

So that's how it is…

Looking at the smile on the red-haired Director's face, a look of realization appeared in the Aquarius Director's eyes.

He had prepared to take advantage of Olivia initiating an inquiry and taking the initiative to leave the Virgo branch bureau to let Neisen take the photo, and she likely had similar plans.

It was likely that while he was attending the inquiry, she sent the Cleaning Bureau's cleaners to find the place where those rebels were hiding and found a way to break Fei Liya's ability.

Hehe, it really was thinking the same thing as him.

After shaking his head slightly, the Aquarius Director took the initiative to withdraw his gaze and sat on his director's seat with low eyebrows, pondering with a blank expression.

The Cleaning Bureau's General Bureau was set up in a hollowed-out asteroid, and the straight-line distance from the ground was a full 70,000 kilometers. Even if he discovered something was wrong, it would definitely be too late by the time he rushed back. She really found a good opportunity.

Hmm… hope Neisen can evacuate in time; otherwise, I'm going to have trouble.

……

Well done!

After also noticing the change in memory, looking at the Aquarius Director who had a rather surprised look on his face diagonally opposite, the red-haired Director could not help but give Li Ang a fierce thumbs up in her heart!

She had left little Liang two weeks, but now it hadn't even been three days, and he had already solved the Princess's problem and caught the Prince hidden among the rebels, completing one-third of the mission. It seems his undercover operation was quite smooth.

Additionally, unlocking this memory ability would definitely alert that future Watching Qiaoshuya prince. With Liang's cautious personality, unless he found out the identity of that prince or was sure he had no ability to capture him, he likely wouldn't have made a move rashly.

And now that the memory ability had been unlocked, that future Watching Qiaoshuya prince might have already been caught. Even if he hadn't caught him, there should be quite a few discoveries. It seems Liang's operation there was nearing its end.

More importantly, from the beginning to the end of the undercover operation, it only took two days. In such a short time, little Liang definitely couldn't have done anything. She finally didn't have to worry about him going undercover to become the rebel leader~

【Olivia?】

Seeming to notice her joy, a subtle mental fluctuation suddenly came from the seat belonging to the Leo branch bureau next to her.

Looking at her good friend with a smile on her face, Leo Bureau Director Beverly filled her mouth with small cookies while asking curiously with her intent:

【Your bureau is ranked last in the year-end review, and the Director scolded you so harshly, how can you still laugh?】 ===== CHAPTER 215 =====

After also noticing the change in memory, the Red-haired Director, looking at the Aquarius Director sitting diagonally opposite with a rather surprised expression, couldn't help but give Li Ang a thumbs-up in her heart!

She had left little Li Ang two weeks, but now, not even three days had passed, and he had already solved the Princess's problem and completed one-third of the mission. It seemed his undercover operation was going quite smoothly.

Furthermore, lifting this memory ability would definitely alert that future Prince Watching Qiaoshuya. Given Li Ang's cautious personality, unless he had identified that Prince's identity or confirmed he lacked the ability to capture him, he would likely not act rashly.

And now that the memory ability had been lifted, that future Prince Watching Qiaoshuya might have already been caught. Even if he hadn't been caught, there should be quite a few discoveries. It was estimated that Li Ang's operation was nearing its end.

More importantly, from the start of the undercover mission to the end, it only took a little over two days. In such a short time, little Li Ang certainly couldn't have done much. She finally didn't have to worry about him becoming the leader of the rebels~

"Olivia?"

Seeming to notice her joy, a subtle mental fluctuation suddenly came from the seat belonging to the Lion Branch Bureau nearby.

Looking at her smiling best friend, the Lion Bureau's Director, Beverly, while secretly stuffing a small cookie into her mouth, asked with some curiosity using her thoughts:

"Your bureau is ranked last in the year-end review, and the Director scolded you so harshly, how can you still smile?"
