Chapter 209 - Li Xiu Was Rescued (1/2)

“Fang Lingzi, bring my wife some food later. I won’t be coming over tonight as I’ve run into some old friends.” Xu Lan was certain that the businessman would tag along if Fang Lingzi were to visit Bai Wu, which was why he had nothing to be worried about.

It was almost summer and the temperature was rising steadily. The heat from the warm breeze was hard to ignore after a few alcoholic drinks. Xu Lan undid two buttons on his shirt and stared at Liang Yu with a serious look on his face.

“Sparrow Game was it?” Xu Lan took another sip of his drink and asked. Even though most of them did not know Xu Lan used to be a policeman, Xu Lan practiced his professional ethics and did not say much.

“… Uh huh, how did you find out about this? The investigation has been going on for quite some time now, I heard it bears semblance to Li Xiu’s case,” Liang Yu decided not to ask further after recalling that Xu Lan used to be a policeman.

Xu Lan snickered; he disagreed with Liang Yu. Li Xiu created excuses for his selfish desires, it was a cruel and despicable act. If anything, at least the 928 incident was merely a simple murder.

Everyone else at the table could not understand their conversation, but they found it strangely amusing. They tuned in as they carried on with their feast.

“Hmph, he’s hopeless. Even at the very end, he was still trying to make himself look good!” Xu Lan took another meatball and cursed, “Whatever! It’s over now.”

Xu Lan looked around and noticed that everyone was almost done with their meal. He stood up and walked everyone out as he thanked Liang Yu against his will. He wondered what would be a good way to get Liang Yu off his tail. He could not visit Bai Wu with Liang Yu following, not when it meant risking Bai Wu being captured.

Indeed, it would be difficult for them to capture Bai Wu at this point. Upon realizing that, Xu Lan felt relieved. After all, Bai Wu was no longer a helpless crybaby.

“Li Xiu escaped.”

“What? Heck!” Xu Lan stood up and slammed his palm on the table, he asked in shock and anger.

“I read it on the news. Apparently, someone rescued Li Xiu without anyone noticing,” Liang Yu sighed and elaborated.
