367 Ism the Hot Young Stud (1/2)
This group of people seemed to be having dinner together!
Quan Shaoteng started to complain about the couple who had ”wandered off” away from them.
”How shameless! I've never seen such a brazen man!”
Salimu followed, ”Captain Quan, who are you talking about?”
Quan Shaoteng replied abruptly, ”Your great Captain Bai!”
Salimu replied in the same swiftness, ”Oh, then I don't want to be involved. I'll come back if anyone is roasting Captain Quan!”
Quan Shaoteng messaged thereafter. ”… Is life too good for you or what?”
Salimu didn't waste any time to respond. ”Nope, I'm about to die of boredom in the hospital. Is anyone coming to eat dinner with me and tell me about the progress of the case today?”
”…”
There was a short silence in the chat.
Tu Liang broke the ice. ”There's no progress!”
Salimu replied just as fast as he always did. ”See? I know I'm indispensable to the team!”
”…”
Once again, a short silence permeated in the chat.
Quan Shaoteng sent another message. ”How shameless! I've never seen such a brazen man!”
Salimu messaged back right away. ”I really mean it. Someone bring my backpack to the hospital please!”
Tu Liang joined the commotion once again. ”What are you up to?”
Salimu replied. ”… Although I'm injured, I can still work! Captain Bai, can I not go to the Special Police Force for training in future?”
Bai Muchuan was driving so he could not reply.
However, Xiang Wan was looking at the chat and felt that Salimu's words did make sense.
”Salimu's bored in the hospital. He wanted his backpack so he could work there. What if he managed to find something useful? I suggest that we let him handle investigate the ID that posted 'The Temptation of the Rich & Famous'!”
Bai Muchuan spoke with an intrigued tone. ”Did that ID post a new message?”
Xiang Wan shook her head. ”Nope!”
As she said this, her gaze darkened a little. ”But after tonight's update, that ID might appear again!”
Bai Muchuan's hands on the steering wheel tightened slightly.
He turned his head sideways to look at her small, pretty face and smiled.
This woman was becoming more and more like him!
The car suddenly jolted; Xiang Wan caught Bai Muchuan's gaze and was dazed for a moment.
”What's up?”
Bai Muchuan chuckled. ”Nothing.”
Xiang Wan pouted. ”Drive carefully! Why are you looking at me?”
”Mm… Xiang Wan.”
Xiang Wan raised her eyebrows as he brought his focus back to the road. ”What?”
”Are you tired?” He suddenly asked.
”… I'm not tired!”
”The case has been dragging on for quite a while.”
”Are you tired?” Xiang Wan asked him back.
”Me? I'm used to it!” he said, ”I'm the police!”
Xiang Wan had heard that from him countless times now. Sometimes she felt that that was sacred, like a mission. Sometimes, she felt that it was an admirable attitude… However, at this time, she suddenly had a feeling… that this was his self-perseverance, as well as his motivation.
”The police are also human! When you can't take it anymore, take a break!”
”I'm alright.”
”Aye, our opponent is too cunning!”
”The main problem is—the enemy's hiding in the dark while we're out in the open.”
”Mm!” Xiang Wan gave it a thought. ”So will Huang He come back or…?”
Earlier on, she had noticed that although Fang Yuanyuan was inside the chat group, Huang He's ID was not… By right, now that both of them got back together, if Fang Yuanyuan was inside the chat group, she would definitely invite Huang He inside as well.
However, he was not there.
That could only mean… they might still have some other plans for him.
Bai Muchuan gave a vague response. ”He should recuperate for now! We'll decide when he recovers!”
Alright then…
Xiang Wan did not probe further.
The car was very slow. This was the first time Xiang Wan ever knew that Bai Muchuan would drive so slowly.
Moreover, they were on a road where there were not many vehicles.
Xiang Wan was particularly sensitive toward unusual situations.
She glanced at Bai Muchuan's arm. ”Is your wound alright?”
Bai Muchuan replied in a monotonous tone, ”It's fine.”
If he said it was fine, that meant it was not really fine!
Xiang Wan reached out to him and touched his hand on the steering wheel.
The moment she touched his hand, she realized how cold it was.
She was quite shocked and her gaze deepened a little.
Bai Muchuan's hands were always full of warmth.
His body, his hands, and his embrace were filled with warmth, although it was winter. But now…
”Let's go to the hospital first!” Xiang Wan said, ”Let's get your wound checked and visit Salimu as well!”
”It's alright. Didn't the doctor prescribe medicine that day? You'll help me redress my wound later.”
”…”
So stubborn!
…
Both of them chose a small restaurant in an old street.
This meal was unlike the last time when both of them ate outside and met people from the Dark Clan. They had a peaceful dinner.
The owner of the restaurant was a local. He could not speak Mandarin very well, but he was friendly and warm towards them.
The charges were also inexpensive.
Both of them ordered three dishes and a soup. The bill only amounted to over 20 yuan.
The Dark Clan, which had been active in Nanmu for many years, seemed to have evaporated into thin air in a night's time.
”Is this normal?”
”It's normal.”
”Caught all of them?”
”Those we had not caught would have turned over a new leaf!”
