“It’s no use.” Cheng Zheng didn’t want to look at him. “No matter what you say, I won’t agree.”
He tried to shake off Bai Muchuan’s grip, but when he couldn’t, he removed the fingers on his wrist one by one and strode away coldly.
“Cheng Zheng!”
“…”
He didn’t look back at all.
“D*mmit!”
Bai Muchuan turned around, hugged his head and crouched down slowly.
Although spring had arrived, the weather was still cold in the Capital.
There was no one else in the garden.
Bai Muchuan looked at the succulents and thought of Xiang Wan. He was anxious and worried.
How was she doing now?
Did Ye Lun… do anything to her?
For the past three days, he had been stopping himself from thinking about her.
He knew her situation wouldn’t be good, so he avoided thinking about it.
Ye Lun was never a good person.
Even before he got exposed as a criminal, he didn’t have a good reputation either. He had many women; from Sun Shangli to Lima, they all had sexual relations with him. The ones who were not involved in the cases numbered too many.
Now that Xiang Wan was in this person’s hands…
She was so good looking. Wasn’t it equivalent to a sheep delivered to the tiger’s mouth?
As a man, Bai Muchuan didn’t want to speculate but he couldn’t help thinking about it at times.
“D*mmit!”
He suddenly stood up and kicked Cheng Zheng’s succulents before turning away.
Huang He was waiting for him at the office.
Huang He knew that things didn’t go well when he saw Bai Muchuan’s expression.
“Cheng Zheng… he’s indeed an obstinate person.”
Huang He knew Cheng Zheng very well as they had worked together in Jin City before. The latter was obstinate, apathetic and unfeeling. He only follows what he thinks was right. It was difficult for anyone to persuade him otherwise. Moreover, as he was the son of Cheng Weiji, few people could really make him do things against his will.
“Didn’t you say that I’m too conventional?”
Bai Muchuan gave a sneer.
“I’ll do something unconventional then.”
…
At Serious Crime Division One, there wasn’t much difference from usual.
However, as that day was another day without any new discoveries, the weight on Bai Muchuan’s heart seemed to become heavier.
During the evening, Bai Muchuan called a small meeting with the respective team leaders to discuss their next course of action. After that, he asked to go back to rest.
For the past few days, he was not the only one who stayed behind and worked overtime, they also did the same.
“Little Bai…”
Quan Shaoteng couldn’t bear to see him like this. “You should rest too. At the very least, rest at your dorm.”
“I will.” Bai Muchuan looked at him without much emotion. “Don’t worry, just go ahead.”
“Sure.” Quan Shaoteng was indeed feeling tired and patted his forehead. “Just call me if anything crops up.”
Everyone then left, one by one.
Cheng Zheng also left the office.
He was different from others. When everyone was working overtime, they would rest in their dorm at Serious Crime Division One. He, on the other hand, would either stay up all night at his office or go back home to sleep. If one were to conduct an interview of his colleagues in Serious Crime Division One, they would say that he was a man who was serious in taking care of himself.
Cheng Zheng’s personality and the team were incompatible.
As they knew that he was the son of Cheng Weiji, they were actually satisfied with how things were.
Well, he was the son of a Deputy Minister, a relation that was too close or too far wouldn’t be good.
…
There were people who were on duty at the Forensics Team as well.
Usually, there were two staff on duty every day.
Bai Muchuan worked till midnight before he went up to the Forensics Team office. When he was there, he saw Mei Xin who was dozing off at her seat.
“Cough! Cough, cough!”
Mei Xin immediately looked up when she heard his coughing sounds.
“Captain Bai.”
She immediately got up from her seat and looked at Bai Muchuan with a confused look. “Captain Bai… did anything happen?”
Bai Muchuan seemed calm. “There’s an urgent mission and I’m here to get something.”
Mei Xin seemed bewildered. “What is it?”
Bai Muchuan said, “It’s the dispenser retrieved from my house…”
“Oh!” He was their overall Captain and Mei Xin was the subordinate. She didn’t think much of it and nodded her head. “I’ll inform Captain Cheng now…”
“No need!” Bai Muchuan stopped her. “You can just give it to me directly. I’ll tell him about it.”
Mei Xin glanced at him.
Although she had some doubts, well… he was her superior after all?
“Alright!”
She didn’t ask anything more and led Bai Muchuan to the room where they kept all of the evidence with a biometric door. After that, when she unlocked the evidence number WB0003, she saw that there was nothing inside there.
Mei Xin’s eyes grew wide open with shock. “Why is it gone?”
…
Everywhere was dark.
Xiang Wan curled up her body, not sure how many times she had woken up.
She had been locked up in this room by Ye Lun ever since she was abducted.
She couldn’t see any light and she didn’t know the time. Hence, she had no idea how long she had been held captive.
She was given food and she could sleep but she couldn’t walk at all. It felt like she was living a life like a pig. Nevertheless, after the initial nervousness and fright on the first day, she had gradually started to calm down.
Take things as they come, she thought.
At the very least, Ye Lun didn’t do anything to her…
This was already better than expected.
Click!
As she thought about it, the light was switched on.
Xiang Wan squinted her eyes in discomfort.
The door was open and Ye Lun came into the room.
“Did you sleep well?”
He asked her with a smile like a friend asking how her day was.
For the past few days, that was how he treated her. He was considered a gentleman as he didn’t make things difficult for her.
Xiang Wan was perplexed. “What time is it?”
She wanted to know the time and why Ye Lun suddenly came to see her.
Ye Lun smiled but he didn’t answer her question. “What’s your relation with Cheng Zheng?”
“Mm?” The sudden question surprised Xiang Wan and she couldn’t react in time.
Ye Lun looked at her lost and confused expression and repeated his question again. “Cheng Zheng, son of Cheng Weiji. What’s your relation with him?”
Xiang Wan found it difficult to answer such a strange question.
She couldn’t guess Ye Lun’s motive and raised her eyebrows. “Must I answer this?”
“Hur! Your answer is already interesting enough.”
By not answering him directly, that meant there should be something between them…
Ye Lun chuckled and stroked his nose as he sat down lazily beside her. He started to size her up seriously from top to bottom, not sure what he was thinking about. A glint flashed past his pair of long narrow eyes with a teasing smile. “Teacher Xiang is indeed not bad looking. No wonder… no wonder…”
What is he talking about? Xiang Wan was puzzled.
She didn’t know what he was mumbling about.
She pressed her lips together and chose to stay quiet.
Tch, tch! Ye Lun suddenly took her chin. “Your quiet look is even more alluring…”
“…” Xiang Wan looked at him from the corner of her eyes.
“I was baffled on why Cheng Zheng did this and what kind of motive he had. But… I understand now.” Ye Lun had a half-smile on his face as he stared at Xiang Wan’s eyes. “As the ancient saying goes, it’s hard for men to resist the charms of beautiful women!”
