“Eh?” Xiang Wan was somewhat surprised. “But if she goes, then wouldn’t she be walking right into their trap?”

The murderer’s script had written very clearly.

The other party would send her a message.

That she would go to a building, and that kid… would fall to his death.

Xiang Wan remembered that. “If she goes, then that kid will die, but if she didn’t go…”

“If she didn’t go, do you think he can live?” Bai Muchuan snorted as he continued, “Currently, it’s still unknown if the existence of such a kid is genuine, sister…”

“I’m not your sister!” Xiang Wan pouted.

“Darling!” Bai Muchuan coughed twice. “Even if such a kid did exist, that kid is under the control of the other party. The life and death of the kid are not up to Xie Wanwan. She could only go with us. Only then will there be a ray of hope.”

“You mean…” Xiang Wan stared at his eyes.

Bai Muchuan’s gaze was firm. “Convince Xie Wanwan to cooperate with us!”

“I’ve said it!” Xiang Wan puffed a sigh. “She doesn’t want that. The other party told her that if she reports or let this be known to the police, her kid will die…”

Hmph! Bai Muchuan retorted with a question. “So did she come up with a plan to save her kid then?”

“…”

Xiang Wan shook her head.

With a hand on her chin, she gazed at Bai Muchuan.

“I feel that… she must be struggling inside…”

Anyone in her situation would be struggling.

“So,” deduced Bai Muchuan, “you wanted to treat us to dinner to find a chance to get her to agree?”

Xiang Wan’s eyes lit up. “You’re right! Not entirely, though, I did want to treat everyone to dinner. It’s been a while, and I feel bad that I haven’t treated everyone to a meal…”

“Hurhur!” Bai Muchuan gave her a sharp look. “Is there a big difference between me giving a treat and you doing so?”

“Of course, it is!” Xiang Wan kept nodding. “My money and your money is different.”

Bai Muchuan’s face sank utterly.

“Xiang Wan, so our feelings are actually distanced by a meal?”

Uh! Of course not.

However, this was the bottom line that Xiang Wan insisted.

“It’s not about the meal,” explained Xiang Wan, “what’s yours is yours. What’s mine is mine…”

“Xiang Wan!” Bai Muchuan spoke in a louder tone since he was annoyed. “Why did you have to make things so clear between us?”

“I don’t mean that.” Xiang Wan furrowed her eyebrows; she was somewhat troubled now.

Her logic that any woman would be able to understand with just a few seconds should be challenging to grasp for a forthright man like Bai Muchuan.

When a man loves a woman, then he would be willing to support her financially. He wished that he could give her everything that she wanted. Xiang Wan felt that she shouldn’t take it for granted; the same goes for other women.

Once the man didn’t love his woman anymore, what more reason was there for a woman to live?

Xiang Wan was working in Serious Crime Division One for the sake of her ideals and love.

However, she never wanted to surrender her career, and writing was also her job.

She wanted to earn and spend her own money. Only then would she feel at ease with herself…

“Little Chuan?” Xiang Wan reached out to touch his face. “Are you angry?”

Bai Muchuan seemed grim, but he was not angry with her. He just didn’t like her drawing such clear lines with him. However, her action and soft tone instantly made him burst into laughter. “You ah! Aye…”

When they almost knocked off from work, Bai Muchuan received some news.

It had been confirmed that the toxic gas that the authorities found in his home yesterday had not appeared anywhere else in the world…

With that, it had also indirectly confirmed that it should be a newly researched biochemical weapon that was developed by a foreign country.

The composition and other data of the biochemical weaponry were not being released for national security reasons. For easy reference to the biochemical weapon, it was given an official name using the first letter of Heaven’s Wrath—now known as the ‘HW Virus.’

Although they had found out the composition of the HW Virus, it was saddening to know that the two police officers that entered the bathroom that day didn’t manage to wake up again…

Both of them pa.s.sed away!

This piece of news left them heavy-hearted.

Xiang Wan didn’t really have the mood to have a good meal that day, if not for the sake of the case.

Xie Wanwan was her ‘target.’ It was tough to make her open up, but a dinner gathering together might achieve what she wanted.

The atmosphere at the office was oppressive.

Their comrades had sacrificed themselves while carrying out their duties. Every police officer there could feel the pain.

They were upset than any other person out there.

Salimu broke the ice. “People in our profession are really great people with a big heart, aren’t they?”

Due to Salimu’s work nature, he tended to appear at the group chat more frequently than others.

The others didn’t respond.

Thus, he expressed his opinion again.

“But why didn’t such a great job get the understanding and respect from others?”

That felt like he was mumbling alone.

A while later, Tang Yuanchu appeared. “What happened to you?”

Salimu replied, “Well, I don’t feel comfortable today.”

Tang Yuanchu responded, “Since when have you been feeling comfortable anyway?”

Salimu didn’t waste time to answer. “I feel especially uncomfortable today. Today, one of the brothers in the team confided in us that his parents set up a blind date for him. At first, the girl’s parents were very interested in him when they heard that he graduated from a well-known university majoring in Electronic Engineering, has a stable job, has distinct features, and cheerful disposition… When the girl’s parents heard that he was working as a detective, they immediately said that it would be better for their daughter to be only friends with him.”

Tang Yuanchu replied, “F*ck.”

Salimu responded thereafter, “It’s nice to have a friend who works as a detective. When they have problems, they could consult them. If they were in danger, the detective friend would arrive faster than other friends… But why is it that these people are unwilling to marry detectives?”

Tang Yuanchu messaged back, “You have so much to say. Why do I feel like you’re talking about yourself?”

Salimu only sent a “…”

After some silence, Salimu suddenly blurted a sentence.

“I wished I had parents who would help me arrange blind dates.”

“…”

Silence swallowed the group chat once again.

Everyone in the group chat knew Salimu’s background.

A young orphan from Nanmu. He was cheerful and optimistic, but with several depressing news that day, it was inevitable that some emotions were being invoked…

However, everyone understood that he had never wanted any sympathy.

Quan Shaoteng casually remarked, “Why not… you call me Papa instead? I’ll help you find a girlfriend?”

Salimu replied, “… Captain Quan, I’m serious about this.”

Quan Shaoteng responded, “I’m also serious about this!”

Salimu chatted back, “… Are you serious? You’d better get your personal problems sorted out first.”

Quan Shaoteng replied, “Hurhur! Finding one is effortless as long as I want it. But… the girl who could match up to me might not have been born yet. It’s vexing!”

“…”

The dense atmosphere alleviated somewhat.

All of them knew very well.

When anyone died from carrying out their duty, there was no need to say how glorified or great the sacrificed comrades were…

They only needed to continue with their work.

The best consolation for the dead and the living was for them to try their best and bring the criminals to justice.

Bai Muchuan then chatted, “Tonight, eight o’clock at Ginza. Teacher Xiang’s treat. Don’t be late!”

Salimu was excited. “Hahaha, that’s great! Anyone driving? Carry me there, please?”

Quan Shaoteng then responded, “Can’t you just take a cab or something?”

Salimu did not waste his time and replied, “Captain… Papa Quan!”
