His Genius Wife is a Superstar

Two police cruisers finally reached the end of what felt like an infinite driveway. They parked in a neat line at the bottom of the entry steps leading to the palatial mansion. Four officers stepped out of the vehicles, followed by a stern-looking older man in a more decorated uniform than them. 

One of three male officers couldn't help but gape at the surroundings. "Holy! If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there's such an incredible place like this in our country. The lives of the wealthy are no joke."

The other three officers agreed with him. They had been in the homes of other wealthy people before but this was definitely the most luxurious property that they had seen in person. It looked more like a palace fit for European royalty. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]

"But man, those security checkpoints throughout the subdivision are even stricter than what we have at the headquarters," another male officer comment.

"I know, right? They didn't spare us even though we're police."

"We're not here to arrest someone, just routine visit, so we entered normally to avoid causing any unnecessary panic," the only female officer in the group said. "We can breeze through any private checkpoints if we have a warrant of arrest."

The others nodded. All of them already knew this basic procedure. They were just grumbling because this place's security was indeed too extreme. They spent more than half an hour from when they entered the exclusive village's gate before finally arriving to their destination, Dragon Palace Home #10.

There was a deliberate cough behind them, interrupting their conversation. They stopped chatting in an instant and stood to attention before saluting to the older man who came with them. 

"Chief!"

The Chief of Police returned their salutes and began leading them up the steps where the butler and a few bodyguards were waiting to welcome them. There was no hesitation in his actions at all. 

His sharp eyes scanned the surroundings. He couldn't see them but he could feel many eyes watching their arrival. His instinct and decades of experience in the force allowed him to sense the danger that this property's security posed to anyone daring to launch an attack inside.

Although he had been here before to attend Iris Long and Jin Liwei's secret, surprise wedding with his wife and her long-time friends and had witnessed the property's topnotch security firsthand, he still couldn't help but mentally sigh in admiration again. He could tell that each member of the security was highly skilled. If only he could poach them to join the police, they would definitely be a welcome addition to increase the force's overall quality. Unfortunately, the force couldn't pay them as much as Jin Liwei. All the country could promise them was the respect and honour as members of the police.

He thought that it was such a big waste that these highly skilled individuals were stuck in this place when they could become more useful members of society by catching criminals and helping ensure the safety of the citizens, not just one family, even if it was a billionaire's family. Sighing in his heart, he could only shake away his disappointment.

"Welcome again, Chief," the ever courteous butler greeted him and proceeded to welcome the other four younger officers who came with him today.

"Please follow me inside. The master is already waiting for you."

They entered with the Police Chief and the butler leading the way while the others followed behind them. The Police Chief had already been here before so he didn't have much of a reaction at the luxurious interior of the mansion. His subordinates, however, were a different story. They initially tried to maintain their composures as police officers but the opulence inside was just too breathtaking. 

The female officer showed an admiring gaze when she saw the huge framed painted portrait at the top of the twin grand staircases showing the newly married couple Iris Long and Jin Liwei together with four adorable cats. She wanted to continue appreciating the beautiful picture but had no choice but to follow the rest of group. 

That was when she noticed a female bodyguard walking with them in silence. The female bodyguard wasn't pretty in the traditional sense but she still had a pleasant face which some would find attractive. What attracted the female police officer wasn't the woman's face or her gender in a male-dominated field but her straight posture and impressive muscles. Even the long-sleeved bodyguard suit couldn't conceal her muscles.

She couldn't help but make conversation with such a physically impressive woman. "Hello, Miss Bodyguard."

The female bodyguard greeted her back. The female police officer was surprised after hearing such a sweet voice coming out of such a well-muscled woman. It didn't match her image at all. But this also made her more curious about the woman. She had a niggling feeling that she had seen the female bodyguard before but couldn't remember where and when.

After a few questions, she learned that the bodyguard was surnamed Jiang and that despite her intimidating body, the woman was actually quite shy and soft-spoken. 

The group stopped outside an ornate double doors. Only the butler and the Chief of Police entered the room while the rest of them waited outside. The four police officers thought that they would have to stand like the bodyguards but a maid led them to a nearby seating area where they would still have a clear view of the ornate double doors. Once seated, they were even served refreshments.

A few minutes later, an orange ball shot across the hallway in a blur.

"Popkohn! Weyt Junjun!" (Popcorn! Wait for Junjun!)

The police officers turned their heads and saw a cute toddler chasing after the orange ball which turned out to be a cat. The striped ginger cat indeed stopped and turned back his furry head, meowing loudly, as if urging the child to hurry up.

Then the child's eyes lit up. "Mommi!" He ran faster.

"Slow down, Little Jun," Jiang Ying Yue said and stepped forward to catch the toddler before he tripped.

The female police officer was surprised. "The child is your son?"
