This was a peaceful era where the majority were kind and straightforward.

Who would have known that she would encounter a terrorist who pretended to be from building management who made use of the excuse to enter a house? They did all of these just to check out the bathroom for leaks, but their real motive was to install a biochemical device.

While they were engrossed in talking about this issue, Huang He appeared in the group chat.

He pinged Fang Yuanyuan. “What happened? Why didn’t you tell me about it?”

Fang Yuanyuan replied playfully. “…≧_≦! I asked all of you not to talk about this!”

Huang He responded, “… So, what happened?”

Fang Yuanyuan evaded the topic and continued being playful instead. “Honey, I’m alright. Everything’s fine, so don’t worry! I’ll be back tomorrow morning.”

Huang He replied thereafter, “I’ll pick you up at the airport.”

Fang Yuanyuan was quick to respond. “(>c

Huang He replied, “I’m discharged from the hospital this afternoon.”

Fang Yuanyuan responded, “Alrighty!”

Salimu suddenly b.u.t.ted in. “My mouth is full of dog food! Attention everyone, if you notice any beautiful girl aged 18 to 25 years old with a nice figure, gentle, and has a good character, please introduce her to me… I can take one to two of them.”

Quan Shaoteng appeared out of nowhere as well. “Who did you learn that from?”

Salimu replied swiftly, “You!”

Quan Shaoteng replied confidently, “You can scram now… You’re so young and wanted to learn from others to ‘adopt’ girls? Just like what you said above, I can ‘adopt’ eight of them!”

Fang Yuanyuan just sent an ellipsis as a reply. “…”

Tang Yuanchu did the same. “…”

Mei Xin then decided to reply. “In the autopsy room of the forensic inst.i.tute, eight is probably too many, but there should be one or two there. It’s kept fresh with formalin. Age, figure, and appearance are good… The most important thing is that their character is especially gentle.”

Quan Shaoteng replied weakly, “… Hey sister, you’re too mischievous!”

n.o.body else bothered him.

n.o.body liked it when the atmosphere was suddenly quiet.

At that moment, it was exactly like that…

It was all quiet in the group chat.

The best awkward silence creator of the century—Quan Laowu.

…

That night, everyone was at Serious Crime Division One.

Ever since Fang Yuanyuan packed all of her belongings from Bai Muchuan’s house, she daren’t step inside anymore.

She stayed in a hotel that night.

As for Xiang Wan, she was busy looking for her cat.

Blackie’s gone missing.

During that time, the windows near the scratching post were not latched fully, Xiang Wan suspected that the kitty might have escaped through there.

She pasted the ‘missing cat posters’ at the neighborhood and also posted in her WeChat Moments so her contacts could help to disseminate the information… Nevertheless, she didn’t receive any news that day.

That kitty belonged to Yu Bo, and Xiang Wan brought the cat back all the way from Nanmu to Xi City, then Jin City before finally arriving in the Capital. She had kept Blackie with her for a while and wished that she could get the cat back.

Nonetheless, Xiang Wan was actually not a full-fledge cat lover.

Even so, when she lost Blackie, she couldn’t feel at ease.

In fact, she felt really awful to have lost the cat.

Bai Muchuan consoled her. “Think of it differently. It’s a good thing that Blackie escaped. It proves that he’s very much alive.”

If Blackie had not left the house, then maybe… he would have died.

Xiang Wan rubbed her temples and puffed a sigh. “How are the two police officers?”

She was referring to the two police officers who arrived at the scene earlier than them and entered the bathroom for a check.

Bai Muchuan shook his head. “They’re still unconscious—their condition is quite bad.”

As he said so, he placed his hands gently on Xiang Wan’s shoulders. “It’s fortunate that you’re alert. Otherwise, things would have been worse.”

The two police officers felt sick after they entered the bathroom in less than two minutes. They were mortified and quickly left the bathroom; they then informed the command center immediately after… If Xiang Wan had not sensed that something was amiss, what would happen when both Xiang Wan and Bai Muchuan returned home that night?

“That bathroom is the common one.” Xiang Wan furrowed her eyebrows. “If it’s not Fang Yuanyuan, it would be Xie Wanwan…”

Bai Muchuan nodded. “They used a small biochemical automatic spray which is small and meant for smaller s.p.a.ces like the bathroom.”

“If their aim was not Xie Wanwan,” added Xiang Wan, “they might have wanted to give us a warning. They’re really an audacious bunch of people!”

When she said the word ‘audacious,’ she got reminded of Ye Lun.

Xiang Wan had a profound impression of Ye Lun when he turned for a glance with a sneer on his face the first time she saw him walking past the G.o.ddess fountain on the ground floor of ‘The Palace.’

She asked, “Have they found Ye Lun yet?”

Bai Muchuan shook his head. “He didn’t go home. His manager couldn’t find him either… He’s supposed to attend an event tonight, but he never showed up.”

He has disappeared, huh? Thought Xiang Wan.

“We’re now sure that there’s a problem with him.”

Bai Muchuan replied, “We’ll find him.”

If Ye Lun had planned the biochemical scare, he would most likely refuse to stay quiet and hide behind the scenes.

Xiang Wan concurred with Bai Muchuan. “He’s always under the limelight. What happened today was more like a performance he had planned out for us then.”

A performance?

Bai Muchuan glanced at her. “What do you mean?”

Xiang Wan deliberated for a moment. “In the past, he’s a celebrity. From now onwards, he couldn’t be a celebrity anymore. Therefore, he needed a new ident.i.ty. All these years of living as a celebrity meant that he had been living a lifestyle that thrives to attain the public’s attention. Once he chose to disappear, he wouldn’t be able to kick away the habit of wanting to be in the limelight… Since he couldn’t appear before the public, he chose to show a performance by creating incidents that could take the trending spots and hot news.

“So, you’re saying that he has a histrionic personality?” Bai Muchuan seemed perplexed. “If that’s the case, then why did he give up being a celebrity which best fits his personality instead of getting involved in such dangerous activities?”

Xiang Wan showed a faint smile. “Maybe there’s hatred within him, or maybe he simply has no choice.”

“He has no choice?”

“I presume that—Heaven’s Wrath is a foreign organization, and Ye Lun is just their spokesperson in this country.”

What had Ye Lun been through all these while?

Currently, this was still a mystery.

…

This was a restless night.

Xiang Wan stayed in Bai Muchuan’s dorm in Serious Crime Division One for the time being.

After the incident, they couldn’t live in their house for the time being.

Fang Yuanyuan had to go stay at a hotel while Xie Wanwan and her female a.s.sistant moved back home.

However, since she was under police protection right now, Tang Yuanchu and Wei Bing had to follow her back to her house as well.

They a.n.a.lyzed the situation and agreed that the possibility of Ye Lun looking up Xie Wanwan was very high.

By putting her under police protection to ensure her safety, they could also… find Ye Lun.

Bai Muchuan left after sending Xiang Wan up to his dorm.

They had found CEO Song whom Ye Lun introduced to Xie Wanwan.

This guy was a successful and powerful businessman on the outside, yet once he was brought back to Serious Crime Division One, he looked like a timid mouse instead.

According to the police officers who brought him back—he almost wet his pants.

“The police station is not the tiger’s lair. Are you scared because you broke the law?”

“They told me that—they told me that… the police wanted to find a scapegoat and that they would often use torture to close a case!”

“… They? Who are they?”

“They mean the general public! Didn’t all the social news… usually report such cases? The police wanted to deal with me, although I didn’t commit any crime…”

“Why did you say the police wanted to deal with you? How are you related to Ye Lun?…”

“I wasn’t! I’m not related to Ye Lun!”

“Wise up!”

“Well, we have a business relations.h.i.+p. He… He has a share in my company.”

“Why did he introduce you to Xie Wanwan?”

“… It’s a collab, a collaboration.”

“Collaboration? Express it explicitly.”

“They… they wanted my a.s.sistance to help Meng Entertainment Group smoothen the process to get a broadcasting schedule for ‘The Grey List’…”

“Hurhur! CEO Song seems to know a lot of people, eh? You can do what others couldn’t!”

“Actually… In fact, well, my wife… My wife’s the head of the department… that takes charge of such matters…”

“So, have you helped them out?”

“I… haven’t had time yet.”

“Earlier this morning, why did you call Xie Wanwan for a meet-up? What do you want to talk to her about, and why did you fail to keep the appointment?”

The moment CEO Song heard this, he seemed awkward.

“It’s… nothing. It concerns my privacy. Do I really have to say it?”
