653 You Have a Plan, I Have a Plan Too (1/2)
”It's no use.” Cheng Zheng didn't want to look at him. ”No matter what you say, I won't agree.”
He tried to shake off Bai Muchuan's grip, but when he couldn't, he removed the fingers on his wrist one by one and strode away coldly.
”Cheng Zheng!”
”…”
He didn't look back at all.
”D*mmit!”
Bai Muchuan turned around, hugged his head and crouched down slowly.
Although spring had arrived, the weather was still cold in the Capital.
There was no one else in the garden.
Bai Muchuan looked at the succulents and thought of Xiang Wan. He was anxious and worried.
How was she doing now?
Did Ye Lun… do anything to her?
For the past three days, he had been stopping himself from thinking about her.
He knew her situation wouldn't be good, so he avoided thinking about it.
Ye Lun was never a good person.
Even before he got exposed as a criminal, he didn't have a good reputation either. He had many women; from Sun Shangli to Lima, they all had sexual relations with him. The ones who were not involved in the cases numbered too many.
Now that Xiang Wan was in this person's hands…
She was so good looking. Wasn't it equivalent to a sheep delivered to the tiger's mouth?
As a man, Bai Muchuan didn't want to speculate but he couldn't help thinking about it at times.
”D*mmit!”
He suddenly stood up and kicked Cheng Zheng's succulents before turning away.
Huang He was waiting for him at the office.
Huang He knew that things didn't go well when he saw Bai Muchuan's expression.
”Cheng Zheng… he's indeed an obstinate person.”
Huang He knew Cheng Zheng very well as they had worked together in Jin City before. The latter was obstinate, apathetic and unfeeling. He only follows what he thinks was right. It was difficult for anyone to persuade him otherwise. Moreover, as he was the son of Cheng Weiji, few people could really make him do things against his will.
”Didn't you say that I'm too conventional?”
Bai Muchuan gave a sneer.
”I'll do something unconventional then.”
…
At Serious Crime Division One, there wasn't much difference from usual.
However, as that day was another day without any new discoveries, the weight on Bai Muchuan's heart seemed to become heavier.
During the evening, Bai Muchuan called a small meeting with the respective team leaders to discuss their next course of action. After that, he asked to go back to rest.
For the past few days, he was not the only one who stayed behind and worked overtime, they also did the same.
”Little Bai…”
Quan Shaoteng couldn't bear to see him like this. ”You should rest too. At the very least, rest at your dorm.”
”I will.” Bai Muchuan looked at him without much emotion. ”Don't worry, just go ahead.”
”Sure.” Quan Shaoteng was indeed feeling tired and patted his forehead. ”Just call me if anything crops up.”
Everyone then left, one by one.
Cheng Zheng also left the office.
He was different from others. When everyone was working overtime, they would rest in their dorm at Serious Crime Division One. He, on the other hand, would either stay up all night at his office or go back home to sleep. If one were to conduct an interview of his colleagues in Serious Crime Division One, they would say that he was a man who was serious in taking care of himself.
Cheng Zheng's personality and the team were incompatible.
As they knew that he was the son of Cheng Weiji, they were actually satisfied with how things were.
Well, he was the son of a Deputy Minister, a relation that was too close or too far wouldn't be good.
…
There were people who were on duty at the Forensics Team as well.
Usually, there were two staff on duty every day.
Bai Muchuan worked till midnight before he went up to the Forensics Team office. When he was there, he saw Mei Xin who was dozing off at her seat.
