Bai Muchuan’s eyebrows jumped, and he drew closer to the equipment.
“Hurhur…”
A sneer was heard from the device.
After that, there was a thud!
That was all!
There were only the sounds of the device trying to connect and nothing else.
There was no Ye Lun or Xiang Wan’s voice.
Bai Muchuan glared at Salimu, his face was cold as ice. Salimu went pale and returned a meek look. “… Maybe Teacher Xiang turned on the mobile phone secretly and got found out? What a pity…”
Since he had turned off the GPS…
… He might have found out about the wiretap.
Just a second more might have mattered since Salimu could have gotten their location…
However, it wouldn’t be of use.
A sly rabbit had three homes to return to, let alone a crafty human?
Salimu stared at his device as he worked on it. Bai Muchuan sat down quietly, thinking what Xiang Wan had encountered that she would risk switching on her phone, but the signal was gone after a few seconds.
He was worried that she might be in danger.
He didn’t know how Ye Lun would deal with her when he found out she turned on her phone secretly.
When a man was worried about his woman, his anxiety and frustration levels could be unimaginable…
His desire to protect made his adrenaline soar; his eyes were bloodshot, and the entirety of his body was brimming with anger. If Ye Lun was in front of him now, Bai Muchuan would have already strangled him…
But…
… he was Bai Muchuan.
Stay calm…
Stay calm, so I wouldn’t lose control, he told himself.
Quan Shaoteng looked at him in worry. Bai Muchuan sat back slowly and said something similar to what Xiang Wan said.
“It’s really Ye Lun.”
They didn’t hear Ye Lun’s voice.
However, Xiang Wan’s words could prove this point.
Quan Shaoteng was worried that he might go out of line.
“Little Bai, blessed are the good. Xiang Wan’s smart and knows how to talk. She will definitely be fine. Ye Lun is as thin as a little chick, he’s probably harmless…”
Well, he didn’t even believe the last sentence that he said.
If Ye Lun was harmless, how would he have created all this?
Bai Muchuan looked at him casually; he looked calm like a deep pond.
“Assemble at the meeting room.”
This was the second day of Xiang Wan’s disappearance in the evening.
At Serious Crime Division One, besides Cheng Xin, no one else had knocked off from work.
When everyone received the news, they all hurried to the meeting room.
The meeting was full of people, but they didn’t utter a sound.
Xiang Wan’s disappearance differed from other cases.
The boss’s girlfriend had gone missing. Whether it was due to psychological reasons or other aspects, they were worried that their boss would be affected emotionally. Hence, they were nervous to say what was in their hearts…
Bai Muchuan took the power seat with a grim face, but he still seemed spirited.
He asked Salimu to play the only two sentences that they heard in the meeting room. He sounded bright and steady as he spoke, and his condition seemed to be better than what they had thought, although he would still cough occasionally.
“From the looks of the current situation, Ye Lun is probably not the one who brought in the HW virus into the country, nor is he the spokesperson of Heaven’s Wrath. The next point is… Xiang Wan’s safe.”
Regarding this point, to him or to the rest, this was of utmost importance.
Ever since she went missing the night before, there had been no news about her.
Those words obviously eased the tense atmosphere in the meeting room somewhat.
“However, Ye Lun is An Ying’s son. He was the one who persuaded An Ying to participate in Operation Heaven’s Wrath. Heaven’s Wrath guided the series of ‘zombie’ cases, then An Ying planned and implemented it… Ye Lun should have been very much involved. Why is Ye Lun suddenly not a part of this when Heaven’s Wrath decided to use the biochemical weapon for their plans?”
“There are two possibilities,” analyzed Bai Muchuan calmly, “the first is if Ye Lun is trying to fool us. The second is after the failure of their ‘zombie’ plan, Heaven’s Wrath lost their faith in Ye Lun. He and Heaven’s Wrath have fallen out with each other.”
Everyone started to discuss amongst themselves softly.
They then started to nod.
“If they fell out with each other, Heaven’s Wrath would have found another person in our country to replace Ye Lun.”
“If Ye Lun is telling the truth that he didn’t have the HW virus with him, then Heaven’s Wrath didn’t choose him.”
“Maybe that’s why Ye Lun is dissatisfied?”
“Then why did Ye Lun kidnap Teacher Xiang?”
“… Revenge?”
Everyone started to chip in their views.
“Take revenge on who?”
“Take revenge on Teacher Xiang, Boss, or… Heaven’s Wrath or even the entire society? Just like what is said in the murderer’s script, he wanted to kill more people, right?”
Bai Muchuan listened to their views.
A while later, he nodded as he added a sentence.
“There’s one more possibility.”
Everyone looked at him.
“We do not know who is the person Heaven’s Wrath has chosen,” said Bai Muchuan slowly, “there’s a high possibility that Ye Lun didn’t know who that is as well. By wanting us to exchange the HW virus for her, he might have wanted to know who is the one that replaced him.”
“This person hid deeper than him… with his current resources, he’s unable to find out who that is.”
“So, he wanted to make use of the police by abducting Teacher Xiang?”
“Hur!” Bai Muchuan narrowed his eyes. “If that’s the case, his tactic is no different from what Meng Chi did previously.”
…
Xiang Wan couldn’t open her eyes since the lights before her were too bright.
She had been brought to a dark room for too long, and she had gotten used to it.
When the lights in the enclosed room were switched on, she couldn’t stand it.
“Teacher Xiang…” Ye Lun played with Xiang Wan’s phone, which he had snatched from her. He was sitting lazily before her with his legs crossed, smiling with his bad-boy smile amidst an evil aura as he glanced at her. “You’re pretty smart. No wonder Captain Bai dotes on you so much…”
Xiang Wan only looked at him without saying anything.
Ye Lun smiled as he adjusted the brightness of the light to another notch higher to shine on Xiang Wan’s face and quietly looked on…
Xiang Wan couldn’t take that amount of light. She turned her head and closed her eyes, so she would not face that light.
Ye Lun was very satisfied with her reaction. “Feeling uncomfortable? I thought you would like to talk openly in a bright space.”
He had a gentle voice with a lingering charm like a spring breeze brushing away; it was pleasant and attractive to the ears… A well-known celebrity who was loved by countless fans. In terms of image or voice, of course, he could not be compared to the ordinary man.
Although his appearance did not fall under the category that Xiang Wan preferred, she could still feel goosebumps all over her…
A man who had the looks and knew how to seduce women was especially dangerous.
She was on high alert. Her impression of Ye Lun in her brain was still the same as when she first met him outside ‘The Palace,’ beside the water fountain… as well as the antagonist, Qin Shu, in ‘The Grey List.’
Xiang Wan had seen Ye Lun’s headshot for that character many times.
To her, he fitted the image of Qin Shu perfectly.
No doubt, Ye Lun was a hot young stud, but he was a hot young stud who knew how to act and could perform well.
Although most of his critics and haters claimed that he was simply playing as himself for the role of Qin Shu and had nothing to do with his acting, Xiang Wan had never looked down on him.
“Why didn’t you talk?” Ye Lun lowered his head and drew closer to her with a sly smile. “If the light’s too bright and makes you uncomfortable, why don’t you start begging me to stop?”
