Xiao Feng had ordered Xie San to investigate Zhao Ran. Song Xi’s affairs came after that. Lan Er found Song Xi’s parents, but they were completely unaware of her situation.
“I was in charge of the investigation regarding the son of Zhao family who suddenly fell ill.” Wang Hao raised his hand and said after he saw everyone had finished their part.
“What’s the current situation?” Hu Cheng asked.
“Let me put it this way, there were not many people who knew about this since all of the neighbors moved away due to the demolition. I’m not sure how reliable is this piece of information since it’s just hearsay,” Wang Hao stared directly at Hu Cheng with his gleaming eyes. Wang Hao had a habit of staring at one’s eyes when he was speaking.
“Stop beating around the bush and spit it out! Quit babbling nonsense!” Xu Lan put down his chopsticks and crossed his fingers. He rested his chin on the back of his hand and glared at Wang Hao angrily. What kind of bad habit was this for one to brush-off his responsibility before mentioning anything.
“Er… It was true that the kid had fallen ill. However, it wasn’t any sort of acute disease, but a chronic sickness similar to leukemia. In the end, they had to send him away because they did not have sufficient funds for the treatment. Therefore, they announced to others that he died from illness,” Wang Hao said quickly with his head lowered as he dared not make eye-contact with Xu Lan.
“I gathered similar types of rumors, but I have one more to add on,” Meng Chengjun was smiling and maintained a calm composure. Even though his uncle was lying in the hospital with his life on the line, his face did not portray any excess emotions.
“Hmm? What good news do you bear, Sergeant Meng?” Xu Lan asked with interest after he peeled a shrimp for Bai Wu. Xu Lan sincerely admired people like him, but at the same time, he was also glad that he was not like him.
“Laos found something on his side, and we sent some of our guys to investigate. It was a small hotel for rent. The person was also very careful, he wore a cap and mask whenever there’s surveillance.”
“What kind of lead is this? You didn’t get anything then?” Wang Meng asked rhetorically.
“Haha, we found out that the person was in contact with Song Xi,” Meng Chengjun said with a smile despite Wang Meng’s verbal attack.
“Hmm? At first, we thought that Song Xi wasn’t involved. Looks like it is even more complicated than we imagined,” Xu Lan massaged his temples and said helplessly.
“She had already admitted that she was involved in it, why did you exclude her? If it was up to me, I would’ve followed the lead and investigate her until the end! Humph!” Bai Wu gobbled up the rice in his bowl and chewed furiously as if he held strong grudges against it.
“…” There was a temporary moment of silence at the table before a bunch of grown man burst out in laughter. Their boisterous laughter was so loud that it caught the attention of the servers.
“Ahem, it’s not a big deal. We’ll just carry on with the investigation. Since everybody is here today, I have something to announce!” Xu Lan stood up in all seriousness and poured a glass of alcohol.
‘Ding’, there was a sudden tick in Bai Wu’s head. He looked at Xu Lan stiffly.
“So far, you guys are the only ones I have. Since all of you are here, I’ll take this opportunity to inform you guys,” Xu Lan picked up a stiffened Bai Wu. He was surprised that a man like him who was free-spirited and could not care less about anything in this world was showing signs of anxiousness in this moment of time.
“I know all of you know about Bai Wu. We presented ourselves as uncle and nephew. There were also other appellatives but I’m not going to list them down. He kept complaining that I wasn’t able to provide him security. Therefore, I will reintroduce his identity to everyone today—Xu Lan’s lover.”
