Chapter 594: Chatting Happily with the Enemy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xiang Wan felt that was laughable.

“Just take it as I’m making up a story.” She took the dossier that was in front of Bai Muchuan and flipped through a page or two. “Wei Gang,” she spoke in a gentle tone, “I took about two hours to understand your past and your present. Do you believe that I understand you more than you understand yourself?”

An Ying was at a loss of words.

What Xiang Wan wanted was his lack of confidence.

When one loses confidence, it would be easy to influence their emotions.

Xiang Wan looked at him seriously as she continued, “Ever since you went to jail, your family deserted you. Your parents were ashamed of you and were out of touch since then. Your ex-wife hated you and never contacted you even when she migrated. There was no one that you could trust... Therefore, I’ve been thinking about the identity of the person that could make you trust him completely.”

After a pause, she suddenly showed a smile.

“Could he be your son?”

An Ying’s pupils contracted for an instant before a sneer appeared on his face.

“Indeed, people who are authors like to spout nonsense.”

“Your son also migrated with your ex-wife when he was young...” Xiang Wan continued to smile, “Although they never contacted you, it seems that he’s actually back?”

“How would I know? You should go ask my ex-wife.”

An Ying’s face was ashen and he looked at Xiang Wan coldly, his expression was even more hostile than earlier.

After that, he looked away. He didn’t want to look at Xiang Wan anymore but directly voiced his dissatisfaction to Bai Muchuan.

“Although I’m a criminal, I also have my rights. Aren’t you afraid that I will file an official complaint if you keep interrogating me like this?”

Bai Muchuan just gave him a casual glance. “Go ahead.”

An Ying’s chest heaved. Then he closed his eyes as though he felt weak. “Detective comrades, I think my heart is beating too fast. I’m sleepy, worn out and hungry... I feel that I’m about to die... I need a doctor now...”

This was one of his tricks to avoid answering questions.

Yet it was also the most effective tactic.

A humane system was exactly the loophole he could exploit.

Even though everyone knew he was most likely faking it, they couldn’t do anything about it.

Bai Muchuan called the prison guards to get a doctor for An Ying.

After that, they left the detention center.

As Tang Yuanchu and Ding Yifan were shocked by the past of Bai Muchuan, they were quieter than usual.

Nonetheless, Bai Muchuan was indifferent to that. He took a glance at Xiang Wan. “Are you cold?”

Xiang Wan shook her head as she revealed a smile. “It will be spring soon, why would I be cold?”

“You’re just trying to act tough!” Bai Muchuan removed his coat and put it on Xiang Wan’s shoulders. “You have to keep warm. Sometimes, temperatures in spring do turn frigid, the weather might even be colder than it is now.”

Alright!

Xiang Wan adjusted the coat with a smile.

Bai Muchuan said, “Let me send you back...”

“Mm!” Xiang Wan nodded her head. “It’s a pity we didn’t get much out from him tonight!”

“Who says so?” Bai Muchuan’s eyes were filled with admiration for her. It was not only a man’s appreciation of a woman, it was also appreciation from a peer in the same industry. “Those questions you asked were really sharp! Wei Gang looked flustered and was not his usual self. I think this is an important direction for our investigation.”

Xiang Wan was surprised.

The next moment, she let out an excited chuckle. “You believe in my inference?”

“Every detective should investigate every possible lead and leave nothing unchecked.”

Bai Muchuan furrowed his eyebrows after he made that remark. “However, it’s not easy to get much information out of this lead,” he continued, “after all, Wei Gang’s ex-wife and son have migrated for many years already. Wei Gang has been living by himself all these years. In the Dark Clan, the eye-patch guy and even Brother Steel have more power than him. He was not an important person in the Dark Clan at all... Something must have changed him. Teacher Xiang, your inference is very original.”

There were some details that didn’t cross his mind.

Yet Xiang Wan thought of them and she even made a bold inference out of it.

Bai Muchuan turned to instruct Ding Yifan. “Inform the Intelligence Team to conduct an in-depth investigation on this. If there is a need, get them to mark out the key points and contact the necessary departments to investigate Wei Gang’s ex-wife and son...”

Ding Yifan nodded his head. “Yes Sir!”

Xiang Wan turned for a glance, the corners of her lips turned upwards. “Thank you boss, for your trust in me.”

Bai Muchuan held her shoulders with a half-smile.

“Let’s improve together!”

...

When they got out of the detention center, it was close to one o’clock late at night.

They bought some supper. Ding Yifan and Tang Yuanchu carried the supper and the four of them returned to Bai Muchuan’s house.

Fang Yuanyuan was the one who heard some noises and opened the door.

She was wide awake.

So was Xie Wanwan.

She, Fang Yuanyuan and the female assistant were chit-chatting in the living room.

Fang Yuanyuan, who originally wanted to help Xiang Wan chase away the “vixen”, seemed to be all chummy and friendly with Xie Wanwan.

Hur, this woman!

Xiang Wan rolled her eyes at Fang Yuanyuan.

Fang Yuanyuan shrugged her shoulders and saw what Tang Yuanchu was holding.

“Awww! I was thinking about ordering some takeouts and all of you came back with food! Come, come, come, let’s lay them all on the coffee table. I’m famished!” She touched her stomach and started to help out.

It was the first time Tang Yuanchu and Ding Yifan entered Bai Muchuan’s house as guests. As it was at this late hour, they were rather shy at first. But due to Fang Yuanyuan’s presence, they felt more at ease.

“See what you want to eat..”

“There’s so much?”

“Of course! These are the spicy ones and these are the non-spicy ones.”

The living room was big and spacious. It was the same for the sofa. It was more than enough to house another four people.

Tang Yuanchu didn’t expect to see Xie Wanwan in Bai Muchuan’s house. Nevertheless, he soon understood why Bai Muchuan, who never invited them to his house, would suddenly invite himself and Ding Yifan this time.

It was obvious he wanted some male companions.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be awkward for him to eat supper with a bunch of women?

In order to make the atmosphere lively, Tang Yuanchu gave full play to his eloquence as he was the police spokesperson after all, he tried to make everyone feel happy during their midnight snack.

He was indeed gifted in this aspect. He was the type of person who could make anyone feel relaxed, no matter who they were. Fang Yuanyuan and the rest of them couldn’t stop laughing at his jokes.

Xie Wanwan’s assistant also kept sending him signals.

And as for Xie Wanwan, she only focused on eating supper and did not even say a word.

Although she was sitting with them, she was similar to a lonely shadow.

Even though Tang Yuanchu looked towards her countless times, hoping for a chance to meet her eyes... She did not give him a chance, not even for a second.

Throughout the supper, she was eating and playing with her mobile phone. She didn’t join any of their conversations and was like an outsider.

When they finished their supper, Ding Yifan got up from the sofa. Tang Yuanchu had no choice but to do the same.

“We’ve gotta go now. Captain Bai, Teacher Xiang, see you tomorrow.”

Bai Muchuan always had a sharp eye and saw everything clearly.

He didn’t keep them but waved at them.

“Look out for safety.”

“Alright, we shall take our leave now.”

“Bye—”

Everyone said their goodbyes to them. Xie Wanwan continued to play with her phone and did not even lift her head.

It could be said that she was rather cold-hearted.

When Xiang Wan thought about Tang Yuanchu, who saved Xie Wanwan by jumping into the cold waters back in Vulture’s Mouth, she felt a little emotional.

What fate!

...

...

As they received guests that night, the few of them helped to clean up the place. Many hands make light work— the living room and kitchen were tidied up in no time.

Bai Muchuan returned to the bedroom early as it was not appropriate for him to hang around with them.

Xiang Wan went to Fang Yuanyuan’s bedroom to chit-chat with her. She wanted to find out: how did she transform from a ‘female warrior’ who was full of ‘murderous’ intent to a fool who chatted happily with the ‘enemy’?
