“Fang Lingzi, bring my wife some food later. I won’t be coming over tonight as I’ve run into some old friends.” Xu Lan was certain that the businessman would tag along if Fang Lingzi were to visit Bai Wu, which was why he had nothing to be worried about.
It was almost summer and the temperature was rising steadily. The heat from the warm breeze was hard to ignore after a few alcoholic drinks. Xu Lan undid two buttons on his shirt and stared at Liang Yu with a serious look on his face.
“Sparrow Game was it?” Xu Lan took another sip of his drink and asked. Even though most of them did not know Xu Lan used to be a policeman, Xu Lan practiced his professional ethics and did not say much.
“… Uh huh, how did you find out about this? The investigation has been going on for quite some time now, I heard it bears semblance to Li Xiu’s case,” Liang Yu decided not to ask further after recalling that Xu Lan used to be a policeman.
Xu Lan snickered; he disagreed with Liang Yu. Li Xiu created excuses for his selfish desires, it was a cruel and despicable act. If anything, at least the 928 incident was merely a simple murder.
Everyone else at the table could not understand their conversation, but they found it strangely amusing. They tuned in as they carried on with their feast.
“Hmph, he’s hopeless. Even at the very end, he was still trying to make himself look good!” Xu Lan took another meatball and cursed, “Whatever! It’s over now.”
Xu Lan looked around and noticed that everyone was almost done with their meal. He stood up and walked everyone out as he thanked Liang Yu against his will. He wondered what would be a good way to get Liang Yu off his tail. He could not visit Bai Wu with Liang Yu following, not when it meant risking Bai Wu being captured.
Indeed, it would be difficult for them to capture Bai Wu at this point. Upon realizing that, Xu Lan felt relieved. After all, Bai Wu was no longer a helpless crybaby.
“Li Xiu escaped.”
“What? Heck!” Xu Lan stood up and slammed his palm on the table, he asked in shock and anger.
“I read it on the news. Apparently, someone rescued Li Xiu without anyone noticing,” Liang Yu sighed and elaborated.
At that point, Xu Lan’s shirt was soaked. There were plenty of people who shared the same name, no matter what Qiao Yi said, Xu Lan would not have thought that Li Xiu from the other world was connected to the Li Xiu that Qiao Yi spoke of.
How then, could Liang Yu’s appearance be explained? Have no one realized the differences between the current world and the previous world?
“I… I shall make arrangement for everyone. Stay with me for now,” Xu Lan massaged his temples and uttered the words through his gritted teeth.
‘I should’ve known that there’s more to this! Li Xiu could tell that Bai Wu isn’t a human in just one glance and since then, he’s been plotting against Bai Wu!’ Xu Lan thought.
Xu Lan felt chills creeping up his feet, causing him to shiver. Xu Lan wondered what he can do. After watching the battle between Bai Wu and Qiao Yi, he understood that it was a world that he could never interfere with. In their world, Xu Lan was nothing more than a speck of dust.
Liang Yu received a call from Qin Lao in the middle of the meal and had to leave. This created the perfect opportunity for Xu Lan to visit Bai Wu at the hospital. Before he even went into the ward, he heard a mixture of cheerful, solemn, and low voices. He pushed open the door and walked in with a straight face.
“Xiao Xu, you’re back!” Wang Meng stood up and asked cheerfully. Xiao Feng held him back and caught him off guard, causing him to stumble into Xiao Feng’s embrace.
“Heck! Are you sick or what?” Wang Meng pointed at Xiao Feng’s nose and started scolding. He pushed Xiao Feng away and patted Xu Lan’s shoulder, enquiring about what happened to Xu Lan over the past month.
Meanwhile, Bai Wu and Xiao Feng looked at each other. They were staring at Xu Lan and Wang Meng with a huge frown on their face.
“Aren’t you going to do something about it?” Bai Wu asked with a pout.
“There’s nothing that I can do about it. He’s become more matured and opinionated, won’t even let me touch him at night.” Bai Wu wondered if he heard Xiao Feng right, as he discerned a hint of grievance from Xiao Feng’s tone.
“Heck! Baldie Chen is in trouble? Haha, after all these years, he finally got what he deserved! I’m loving how this is turning out. What is he being investigated for?” Xu Lan smiled cheerfully as he recalled how Baldie Chen used to bully him.
