Chapter 646: It’s Really You?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Bai Muchuan leaped out of the window to pursue that thief, he did not have time to put on any protective gloves. Now his hands were grazed, it was bleeding so much that it was unbearable to watch…

However, he responded emotionlessly. “It’s alright.”

Bai Muxuan showed a mild frown as he looked at his bloodied palm before speaking with a slightly hoa.r.s.e voice. “Get your wounds treated. It’s just a job. You don’t have to risk your life like this.”

“I know!”

“And…” Bai Muxuan opened his mouth slightly; it seemed like he wanted to say something, but eventually, he swallowed his words. “Do visit grandma when you have time…”

“Mm.” Bai Muchuan was slightly taken aback.

By then, a lot of people had started to gather in the alley. Bai Muxuan took a glance at these people and coughed slightly. “Captain Leng has instructed me to cooperate with you. Just tell me whenever you need help. I’ll be there right away.”

“Mm.” Bai Muchuan furrowed his brows, feeling that this young man before him was quite naggy. However, he could feel the concern in his tone, and this feeling was strange and awkward to him. He didn’t have time to ruminate over this and waved his hand impatiently. “Just hurry up, don’t dawdle!”

“Alright, leave Dihao Towers to me!”

Bai Muxuan turned around and strode away. Bai Muchuan stood at the same spot and watched Bai Muxuan’s diminis.h.i.+ng back. Bai Muchuan flicked his hands and was about to leave when he saw a few people running towards him under the lamp post near the entrance of the alley…

The one in front was Quan Shaoteng.

“Little Bai!” He was panting away, and one could see that his forehead was drenched in sweat. He seemed anxious. “Are you alright?”

Bai Muchuan’s gaze was cold as he shook his head. “How are things at your end?”

“I caught him, but d*mn… it wasn’t Ye Lun.” Quan Shaoteng wiped the sweat off his forehead and continued. “That guy’s build was very much like Ye Lun, and he even wore the same clothes as him…” He stopped halfway since he suddenly recalled something. “Oh yeah, did you forget to lock your car?”

Car?

Bai Muchuan was shocked when he heard that. “Xiang Wan’s not inside?”

“Xiang Wan? I didn’t see anyone inside. I saw that the car door was left open, so I helped to…” While Quan Shaoteng replied, he could clearly see a change in Bai Muchuan’s face. He suddenly cried out, “Oh, sh*t!” Quan Shaoteng took off before finis.h.i.+ng his words.

“Xiang Wan’s in trouble!”

They were currently in the alley behind Dihao Towers.

Bai Muchuan’s car was parked at the front of the building.

At this moment, it was all crowded near Dihao Towers.

Bai Muchuan looked at the crowd that had gathered at the entrance of the building. Like the speed of an athlete making a 100-meter dash, he sped to the place where his car was parked, throwing off the people following behind him.

However, it was already too late.

The car was parked quietly at the side of the road.

There was no one inside the car.

Xiang Wan’s laptop was lying at the bottom of the seat.

It was all dark and quiet inside the car.

Bai Muchuan’s heart drummed wildly as he looked, the nerves at the corners of his forehead were showing. It took a while before he could calm down and turned on the lights in the car.

There was a note on the seat.

He picked up the note—a row of printed words was on it.

“Bring the HW virus in exchange for her!”

These words were like a butcher’s knife.

Bai Muchuan froze on the spot. All of his blood seemed to have been frozen at that instant.

There was a saying—the drunk’s intention was never the liquor.

So the other party’s aim was never Xie Wanwan…

But Xiang Wan.

…

The third episode of the murderer’s script was out.

It was published on Weibo through an alternate account.

In a delighted tone, the blog owner was glad to inform readers that the second episode was just an ‘appetizer’ to satisfy the audience’s fetish— the murder of a famous star. However, Xie Wanwan wasn’t their target, and the child mentioned in there was simply fabricated. The blog owner claimed that he was no longer satisfied with this kind of killing game. What he wanted to kill was no longer limited to a person every time but ma.s.s killing…

At the same time, the blog owner reviewed that he had kidnapped a significant person whom he could make use of to come into possession of a weapon that he could use to destroy the entire world and humankind… He even left a warning to his readers. “To all readers who are reading this, one day, all of you will die because of this weapon.”

The internet was shocked.

Some of the readers were frightened when they read that.

However, more people found it amusing.

They did not believe that there would be someone hiding in the corner of the world and thinking of killing them.

They eagerly await the upload of the next chapter…

It was an era of entertainment.

People were frustrated and impetuous. The more eye-catching a piece of news was, the more people would like it…

…

Serious Crime Division One.

The atmosphere was oppressive.

Bai Muchuan sat in his office and didn’t move for a long time. The burning cigarette almost scorched his fingers, but he didn’t seem to notice. His face was back facing the light, emotionless yet full of rage.

“Little Bai!”

Quan Shaoteng came into the office and got choked by the cold wind, which blew in from the open window.

“Cough cough. Little Bai, what are you doing?”

Bai Muchuan looked up, his gaze was unfriendly. “Can’t you tell?”

Quan Shaoteng remarked, “The ash on your cigarette is burning your finger!”

Bai Muchuan looked down at his finger and snuffed the cigarette. “Looking for me? Any news?”

“…” Nothing.

There was no news at all.

Xiang Wan had gone missing for a whole day.

They used all possible communication channels, but there was still no news about her.

Besides the note that the kidnapper left, they had no other clue.

During this whole time, Bai Muchuan didn’t sleep at all.

Although he said that he would take a nap in his office, he had been smoking cigarettes one after another instead.

The anxiety that he was going through for not being able to find Xiang Wan must be tremendous.

Quan Shaoteng could understand Bai Muchuan’s mood, but he just couldn’t stand watching him like that. “You should get some rest, okay? After all, as long as the kidnapper’s request has not been fulfilled, Xiang Wan would be safe…”

Bai Muchuan glanced at him then he started to cough.

He coughed and coughed.

He coughed and coughed.

As he coughed, he suddenly broke into laughter.

Not sure what he was thinking, but his face looked cold as he laughed.

“Tell me, why didn’t I think of this? All this whole time, I have been protecting Xie Wanwan that I didn’t realize their claws have been actually aiming the one right beside me…”

“Xiang Wan was like your shadow,” said Quan Shaoteng, whose eyebrows were crumpled together, “it’s understandable that you didn’t think of that.”

Who were the people that one would most often neglect?

It was the person who was just right beside them.

Quan Shaoteng was right. During this period, Xiang Wan was either with Bai Muchuan, or when she didn’t, she would be at Serious Crime Division One. Besides the office and their home, she didn’t go anywhere else. Who would have thought that she would be in danger?

Bai Muchuan rubbed his forehead as he laughed bitterly. “It’s all because of my negligence.”

“…” Quan Shaoteng frowned after hearing his words. “Say something useful, and I wouldn’t mind you talking about it throughout the night. Don’t be disheartened. It’s of no help at all! What we need to do now is to a.n.a.lyze the situation and find her. This is not the time for self-reproach and fault finding… Bai Muchuan, don’t make me look down on you!”

Bai Muchuan looked at him in thought.

“I don’t understand. The b*stard who kidnapped Xiang Wan is actually asking us for the HW virus? What kind of request is that? Isn’t HW virus in their hands?”

Quan Shaoteng then went into silence as he mulled over it.

He was not the only one baffled about it. Bai Muchuan couldn’t understand that either.

The party who lured Tang Yuanchu away from the house before having their men install an automatic biochemical dispenser in the bathroom…

The murder of Xie Wanwan’s a.s.sistant, Xu Siqi, then the release of the murderer’s script where the police focused their attention to protect Xie Wanwan…

The sudden change of target and the kidnapping of Xiang Wan, was it not done by the same group of people?

“D*mn!” Bai Muchuan coughed and waved his hand. “Get Salimu over here this instant!”

“Mm!” Quan Shaoteng looked gloomy as he made the phone call.

Shortly after, Salimu pushed through the door, popping his head into the office meekly. “Boss…”

He was anxious since he rarely saw Bai Muchuan in such a bad mood.

After all, if he had chosen to turn back to look for Xiang Wan, maybe… he would have been kidnapped together with Xiang Wan.

“Teacher Xiang’s phone is still switched off.”

If she didn’t turn on her phone, they wouldn’t be able to locate her.

Bai Muchuan raised his hand. “Keep a close watch… Cough… Cough, cough…”

“Yes, Boss, please take care of yourself too…” This whole time, Salimu stayed awake as well. He had been looking carefully for any useful information. The equipment was still in his hands even when he was reporting to Bai Muchuan.

“Don’t bother about me!” Bai Muchuan’s face reddened after coughing so much. “Focus on your work!”

“I’ve been monitoring the situation…” Salimu looked at the device and was suddenly ecstatic. “Boss! Boss! It’s open!”

Bai Muchuan immediately replied, “Quick! Locate it—”

Salimu held the equipment and put it on the table anxiously.

Three seconds later, the joy on his face ceased to exist. “… The GPS setting has been turned off.”

“…”

Bai Muchuan clenched his firsts and hammered his forehead gently. “The wiretap…”

Salimu was stunned for a moment before shouting in delight. “Yes! I’ll get on with it right away!”

Bai Muchuan had previously instructed Salimu to install a wiretap into the mobile phone that he gave Xiang Wan for safety reasons. This was a secret between the two of them that no one else knew about. Bai Muchuan didn’t tell Xiang Wan about it since he didn’t want Xiang Wan to feel uncomfortable with the arrangement. He had never activated this device because he had no intention to intrude on Xiang Wan’s privacy… At this time, however, this device came in handy.

“Quick! Hurry up!”

Salimu was so nervous that his hands and heart were trembling.

“Almost ready!”

Sizzle!

The electric current!

The small screen on the device displayed a green signal that danced along with the voice and tone coming through the speaker…

“Ye Lun?”

It was Xiang Wan’s voice.

“Ye Lun, it’s really you…”
