Chapter 621: Bodyguard

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xiang Wan couldn’t sleep well at night.

She thought over this incident for a long time, and she felt down.

She felt awkward about her personal stuff and information being leaked. It felt like she had swallowed a fly…

Nonetheless, when she thought of Xie Wanwan, this incident felt like it was trivial at best.

It was a bright, sunny morning.

After a night of tossing and turning, she woke up dizzy and drowsy as if someone poured lead into her head.

Xiang Wan wanted to sleep a little while longer, but due to her body clock, she found herself unable to do so. However, if she were to get out of bed now, she felt that the day would exhaust her easier…

Writers hated being in such a condition the most.

She rolled around in her bed twice with the quilt and closed her eyes shut.

Bai Muchuan opened the door to the bedroom. “Get up now, it’s time for breakfast.”

Xiang Wan revealed her head from the quilt. “I don’t want to,” she pouted. “I don’t feel good.”

Bai Muchuan sighed and came to her while ma.s.saging her shoulders. “Even if you don’t feel good, you need to get up and eat breakfast.” He paused for a moment. “Tang Yuanchu’s already here.”

Ugh!

So early?

Indeed, when the matter involved someone which one likes, he or she would be especially diligent and energetic.

Now that she knew that there were ‘guests’ in her house, Xiang Wan could no longer stay in bed. Hence, with Sir Little Bai’s help, she washed up and got changed. When she showed up in the living room, she was just like her usual self, as if the earlier episode of lazing around in bed had never happened.

“Morning, Detective Tang, Detective Wei.”

Besides Tang Yuanchu, Wei Bin from the Operations Team was also with him.

The two of them were summoned to protect Xie Wanwan.

Well, such a lineup was already considered as the ‘luxurious protection package.’

It was enough to prove that Bai Muchuan was serious in keeping Xie Wanwan safe.

When she recalled Xie Wanwan’s dissatisfaction with Bai Muchuan the day before, Xiang Wan subconsciously wanted to see how Xie Wanwan looked now…

Well, she was not there.

After Xiang Wan looked around, she asked the female a.s.sistant. “Where’s Xie Wanwan? She’s not joining for breakfast?”

The female a.s.sistant also had the same surname ‘Xie.’ She was in her early thirties and was much more reliable than Xu Siqi. “She didn’t have a good appet.i.te since yesterday and couldn’t eat anything this morning as well. I’ll get her some warm milk. Please start without us.”

“Orh.”

Xiang Wan nodded and glanced over to the sofa.

Tang Yuanchu and Wei Bin was sitting on the sofa with their backs straight and looked serious.

Xiang Wan decided to get them to join in for breakfast, but they turned her down. “Detective Tang was just saying he wanted to rent a room last night,” she joked, “now you can stay here for free! Congratulations.”

Tang Yuanchu was a little shy. “My apologies for bothering you, Teacher Xiang.”

“It’s totally fine, don’t worry.” Xiang Wan laughed. “I’ll go clean up the room later.”

“I’ve already cleaned up the room.” a.s.sistant Xie smiled. “Xie Wanwan asked me to do that earlier.”

“Oh!”

Xie Wanwan did know about this arrangement then? Xiang Wan thought in her head.

At the dining table, there were only Xiang Wan, Bai Muchuan, and Fang Yuanyuan.

Xiang Wan looked towards the direction of the living room. “You told Xie Wanwan about it?” she asked in a soft tone.

“Mm,” replied Bai Muchuan, “she must cooperate with us.”

Yup!

If the police didn’t get her permission, they couldn’t a.s.sign anyone to protect her.

Bai Muchuan responded, “My opinion is that she shouldn’t act alone until we caught the culprit. During this period, no matter what she wants to do, she had to obtain the consent of Tang Yuanchu.”

Xiang Wan asked, “Did she agree?”

Bai Muchuan seemed in thought and didn’t give an answer.

His expression had already betrayed his thoughts.

The corners of Xiang Wan’s lips raised upwards. “She didn’t agree? Little Bai, I realized that your buddy doesn’t really heed your advice, right?”

“We have different ident.i.ties. I’m the police, and she’s a civilian. There are some things that I can’t force her to accept…”

Bai Muchuan’s explanation was quick.

“What’s the difference?” Fang Yuanyuan retorted softly, “You only wanted to keep her safe, right? If someone wanted to kill me, I’d wish to have the police protect me round the clock…”

Bai Muchuan grunted softly, “It also depends on who is the one protecting her.”

Rather than saying that she resisted police protection, she could be unhappy because Tang Yuanchu was the one a.s.signed to protect her.

Xiang Wan understood that very well.

“Since you knew about it,” she asked,” why did you ask Tang Yuanchu to take on the task?”

Bai Muchuan replied, “Tang Yuanchu has been dealing with this case and knew what is going on. Moreover, he is someone I trust and would certainly do his utmost to ensure her safety.”

“Alright!”

He had meant well.

However, Xie Wanwan might feel differently towards this arrangement.

Xiang Wan didn’t feel a need to think more in-depth with regards to this.

To her, these were trivial compared to the case.

Last night, Salimu had gone back to the office after dinner and told Bai Muchuan that he would give a report on the owner of the microblog in the morning. Thus, Salimu, who had dark circles around his eyes that day, waited for Bai Muchuan in the office early in the morning and gave him a report.

They had found the person who posted the murderer’s script on social media.

This person had posted content relating to the murderer’s script several times.

He used different accounts and changed several IP addresses on many occasions while staying active on the internet.

Besides posting such controversial content, he was also guilty of b.u.mping his own posts and leading the netizens on to achieve his desired results.

That guy’s real ident.i.ty was just an ordinary worker named Liu Jianyong.

When the police looked for him in the company where he was working for, he was bragging to his colleagues that he was having a streak of good luck recently and that in no time, he could change his life—get a new job, buy a house, get a car, and marry a beautiful, wealthy woman…

He was being paid a total sum of 50,000 yuan for those posts he was told to make.

He had made a total of five posts.

He earned 10,000 yuan for every post.

That was indeed a high paying ‘job’!

Moreover, his ’employer’ had promised him that as long as he followed according to what he wanted, he could continue to post the Murderer’s Script, and he could continue to earn 10,000 yuan for every post.

Where in the world could he find another job like this?

Liu Jianyong had tasted the sweet taste of easy money and was getting ahead of himself.

After a short conversation with him, the police noticed that Liu Jianyong was not highly educated and did not know much about the law. He thought that he was only making a post, did not kill anyone, and thought nothing about the content of the job. He didn’t realize that he had broken laws by making such posts that even when facing the police, he could talk relentlessly without fear…

When the police ‘invited’ him to go to Serious Crime Division One to a.s.sist in their investigations, he then realized that something was very wrong.

“I don’t know anything. I’m innocent.”

“Officer! Officer, I did nothing! Why did you arrest me?”

“Help me! Help…”

He was indeed a strange one to shout ‘help me’ before the police.

The moment Xiang Wan saw Liu Jianyong in Serious Crime Division One, she already felt like puffing a sigh.

Just one look, and it was enough to know that he was not a smart one.

Manipulator X was careful and meticulous. Someone like that would never cower himself away before a stranger. Hence, in her opinion, it was highly probable that they wouldn’t be able to get anything useful from Liu Jianyong.
