Bai Muchuan did not respond to that.
“What’s up?”
Xiang Wan tugged on his shirt gently. “Is what they say about Xie Wanwan true?”
Bai Muchuan glanced at her for two seconds before taking her hand and squeezing it gently.
“We’ve looked into many people in these two days. In fact, there were more people involved in Operation Heaven’s Wrath than expected. Some of them are Xie Wanwan’s fans, but there are also fans of other celebrities as well… Nevertheless, this alone could not be proof that Xie Wanwan and the other celebrities are directly related to the case.”
These fans did something and their idols have to be responsible for it.
However, this only applied to the Internet.
In reality, the law does not work this way. Everything has to go by evidence.
Xiang Wan nodded her head. “She’s so unlucky. It should be the work of astroturfers and anti-fans.”
Bai Muchuan shrugged his shoulders apathetically. “She depends on this for a living.”
The Internet is a double-edged sword.
The Internet makes it easier for celebrities to gain exposure, but they could also be hurt by it at the same time…
Xiang Wan didn’t find anything unusual in his expression. “You’re right.” She smiled with a nod.
After the two of them got into the car, Bai Muchuan provided more information on the topic. “Well, there are indeed some well-known fans of Xie Wanwan who are involved in Operation Heaven’s Wrath. However, we have not gotten the details of their involvement in it. The case is still under investigation, and it’s too early to conclude anything for now. Moreover, as there’s a relation between the ‘zombie’ case and the movie ‘Before Doomsday’, there will be a point in time when she is needed to assist in the investigation.”
Oh?
Xiang Wan stole a glance at him.
So, in other words, he was trying to tell her that he might be contacting Xie Wanwan?
Hur!
This guy!
By giving her an indirect hint, what kind of person did he think she was?
Xiang Wan pursed her lips, showing a half-smile.
Bai Muchuan looked at her and helped to put on the seat belt for her, also wearing a smile on his face.
“In order to let my wife be at ease, I’ve been racking my brains.”
“…”
The car sped through the streets of the Capital.
It was still the festive period, the flavor of the Lunar New Year had not gone away.
The migratory birds that had flown home had not returned to the city, and the streets were still rather empty.
Many restaurants and entertainment spots along the roads were still closed.
The shadows of trees overlapped each other and sighed in the winds…
Xiang Wan watched the scenery outside the window then turned to admire Bai Muchuan’s serious-looking side profile as he drove the car.
“Why do you keep looking at me?” Bai Muchuan noticed her gaze although he didn’t turn to look at her.
“Because… you’re good-looking!” Xiang Wan stuck out her tongue.
Hur! The corners of Bai Muchuan’s lips turned upwards, his husky voice charming and pleasant to the ear.
“Did you just realize that your hubby is handsome?”
“I already knew that since ages ago. Otherwise, why would I like you?”
“…”
She took a dig at him.
That hurts!
Bai Muchuan snorted, “Am I a man with nothing but good looks?”
“Mm…” Xiang Wan smiled then replied in a serious tone. “Not really, at the very least, when I’m with you I feel a sense of security.”
Bai Muchuan’s smile widened.
“As simple as that?”
“Of course.”
“Can’t you praise your hubby in a more interesting manner?”
“…”
“Men do need to be praised. The pressure from modern society is tremendous. Men need to support their family and still need to help women create babies, which is tiring and draining both emotionally and physically. Men’s social status is getting lower and lower. They need their spouses to show their love and concern. Sometimes, a few words of comfort and consolation would make them devoted to the family… And the thing that deteriorates a relationship is exactly the lack of that.”
“…”
What was that?
Xiang Wan was baffled and bewildered.
She only managed to react from it after she realized that Bai Muchuan was hinting at something.
“Hahahahaha…”
After a brief moment of silence, she burst into laughter.
“You’re too adorable. This Queen will choose you to serve me tonight.”
“Hur! Women.”
Bai Muchuan gave her a look that seemed to be implying that she should know what he was trying to say.
“Did you notice?” Xiang Wan giggled. “Humans are actually lonely. It’s already not easy to find someone who can get along with ourselves… It’s also not easy to live together every day, not make trouble for each other and even have to be considerate to each other. And even if all these conditions are met, the possibility of two such people being in love with each other is even lower…”
Bai Muchuan furrowed his eyebrows in contemplation. “Are you trying to praise me for being hard-working, responsible, devoted to my wife and never saying a word of complaint? All these are the excellent qualities of a good man, right?”
“Nope!”
Xiang Wan rolled her eyes.
But the next second, she wore a smiling face.
“Actually, I wanted to say that, because of you, the whole world has become so beautiful and full of warmth.”
Bai Muchuan’s lips quirked up at the corners. “It’s the same for me.”
…
“Don’t you both feel tired, giving out candy every day?”
When Quan Shaoteng saw the two of them appearing before them hand in hand, he gritted his teeth as he looked at the time.
“Both of you, when you guys want to get lovey-dovey, a group of bachelors are staring at the dishes on the table, enduring their hunger for one minute and 35 seconds… Do you two still want to continue doing that?”
Bai Muchuan turned to glance at him coldly.
“Is the overtime work these two days still not enough for you?”
Quan Shaoteng kept quiet.
Silence took over.
Moments later, Quan Shaoteng walked over and placed an arm on Bai Muchuan’s shoulder. He pulled him to his chair, made him sit down and talked to him seriously by looking directly at his eyes.
“Hey Little Bai, we’re brothers right?”
Bai Muchuan just gave him a casual look. “Just say what you wanted to say, don’t beat around the bush.”
Cough! Quan Shaoteng harrumphed. “Do you know how many people my sister-in-law contacted to ask them to help introduce girls to me? Do you know how many years I have been single? Do you know that those girls who wanted to go on a blind date with me have almost waited one year already? Now that I finally have my Lunar New Year holiday… You occupy me every day, no, you occupy my time. You make me work overtime and hinder my plans to go on my blind dates, aren’t you being too much?”
“Blind dates?” Bai Muchuan looked at him in disbelief. “Cut it out, as if I’ll believe it.”
“It’s true, I promise!” Quan Shaoteng raised his hand. “The bachelor also needs warmth…”
The group of detectives inside the private dining room immediately created a ruckus when they heard that.
“Really?”
“D*rn! Does that mean there are girls who actually agreed to meet Captain Quan? This is incredible!”
Quan Shaoteng sent a warning glare at the person who made that remark.
“What are you guys,” he said in an unfriendly tone, “talking about?”
Salimu immediately ‘explained’ as he watched Tang Yuanchu sneaking a laugh. “I mean, for such a handsome young man like Captain Quan, shouldn’t most girls be ashamed of their looks and avoid him? How dare they want a blind date with our Captain Quan? Hmph, they are too full of themselves.”
Quan Shaoteng raised a corner of his lips. “Tch, not bad, you have a strong desire to survive.”
Salimu scratched his head. “No, no, I’m just ordinary. I don’t deserve that praise.”
Quan Shaoteng then turned back to Bai Muchuan solemnly and seriously.
“Little Bai, I have been single for so long. Shouldn’t you give me two days off so I can go on some blind dates? What if my future kid’s mom is waiting for me?”
