28 The Weak-Willed (1/2)

A major breakthrough!

There wasn't any news more exciting than this!

As the case slowly unraveled and developed to the current stage, the chord in her heart had long been stretched to the extreme.

Her dark eyes looked at Bai Muchuan almost in eager anticipation, waiting to hear about the breakthrough.

However, Bai Muchuan turned a blind eye to her anticipating gaze. He turned around to look at Zhan Se who was smiling.

”Teacher Zhan, thank you for your hard work tonight. It's getting late, I'll get Huang He to send you back to the hotel. We'll talk about the details of the case tomorrow morning…”

”No problem.” Zhan Se still looked energetic, and her tone sounded like she was in a good mood as well. ”I'm completely not tired when I'm doing this work. It's been a while since I traveled to another city, and I'm enjoying this trip. Moreover, Wang Tongsheng was especially weak-willed that it exceeded my initial expectations, I didn't put in much effort…”

”That's because he met you. If it's another person, it might not be as smooth.”

”Woah! Laowu never told me before Captain Bai is so good in dishing out compliments?”

As the two of them were trying to be polite to each other, Xiang Wan, who was eager to know the result, was being forgotten.

Xiang Wan was speechless.

This Detective Bai mentioned the first part and she thought he would continue, but instead, it was actually a full stop.

So what was the major breakthrough? She was being kept in suspense!

Zhan Se walked over to her. ”Xiang Wan, I'll make a move first. I'll talk to you another time.”

Xiang Wan knew about formalities like this. She gave a smile and shook hands with Zhan Se. ”Alright Senior, please be safe.”

Zhan Se nodded her head and left with Huang He who showed up at the door.

Xiang Wan walked her to the door. When she turned around, Bai Muchuan was busy with his mobile phone. For a long time, he did not lift his head up. Xiang Wan did not know what he was doing.

She couldn't take it anymore. ”Detective Bai…”

Bai Muchuan still did not lift his head up. Instead, he signaled with his hand to stop her, and continued to get busy with his mobile phone.

Xiang Wan: ”…”

She had no choice but to wait for him to finish his work on his mobile phone.

So, she sat there idling for over 10 minutes before she heard Young Master Bai finally puffing a sigh of relief.

Bai Muchuan shot a concerned look at her. ”What's up? Looking 'so good' today?”

Anyone would ”look as good” if they're in my plight! Xiang Wan retorted in her head.

”Haha.” Xiang Wan forcefully pretended to be indifferent as she shook her head. ”Now, what do I need to do? Identify the car?”

”Oh, I have almost forgotten about this!” Bai Muchuan seemed to just realize this as his long fingers supported his forehead. ”There's no need to identify the car, Huang He has found the car already.”

What? So efficient?

Since the car had been found, why didn't anyone tell her?

On top of that, if the car was found, what was she waiting here for?

Xiang Wan's anger of waiting the whole night erupted into raging flames. ”Detective Bai, since you don't need me, why did you call me over? So, did you have fun, huh?”

Her eyes were filled with the shame and anger of being fooled, exceptionally bright. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Detective Bai narrowed his eyes, his gaze on her face seemingly clingy, ”I thought you will need me?”

Xiang Wan: ”…”

She was breathing heavily; her chest visibly moved inward and outward due to anger. Xiang Wan felt like giving him a good thrashing, but she was worried she might be charged for assaulting a police officer.

No choice, any burning anger had to be suppressed, so her heart and her chest continued to puff and huff…

Bai Muchuan's expression turned serious, his gaze still fixated on her. ”The laptop? I don't need to compensate it anymore?”

Xiang Wan flared up. ”Detective Bai, I thank you so much. Would you please don't stop to gasp for air and finish saying your sentence in one go? If you're compensating my laptop, then say so, why are you saying things like I need you…”

Bai Muchuan's pleasant-looking eyebrows raised. ”What did you think I'm referring to?”

Xiang Wan froze for a moment—she was unable to answer it.

Many a times, whenever it was about something sensitive, women tend to be in a more disadvantageous position than men.

She was powerless against a Bai Muchuan like this. She was so hopping mad she wished she could chew him up, however, he was so serious that there was totally no trace that he was making fun of her. In addition, he even kindly explained things to her.

”You have an inseparable relationship with this case right from the beginning, and your novel is connected to this case. I thought you'll need me to answer your doubts?!”

D*rn! Can't he say this earlier!

Yes! Of course, I need it! I need it too much!

Xiang Wan was swearing inside her heart yet she had to hand it to him.

He was always able to light up her little inner universe, then slowly put out the fire for her. At the end of the day, it would seem that she would be the one who was picking on him without reason.

For example, now.

Bai Muchuan assigned the duties for his team and let Detective Tang drive the car. The detectives on duty were all going to have their supper somewhere nearby. He also invited Xiang Wan to join them.

He took on the role of the good guy for the whole day.

Xiang Wan did not feel like eating, but her curiosity for the case was so great that she agreed to Bai Muchuan's ”manipulation”.

This time, there were only the detectives from the criminal investigation team, and there was no one from the forensics team.

Captain Bai treated them supper. The detectives were very excited. They didn't stand on ceremony with Bai Muchuan and ordered the most expensive dishes.
