Chapter 612 - Like a Housefly (2/2)
“Cheng Xin, come with me for a while.”
Cheng Xin was photocopying some documents and she seemed to be impatient. When she heard someone calling her, she turned around to look at Tang Yuanchu then Xiang Wan and she seemed glad.
“Sure!”
As Cheng Xin was not a plainclothes detective, she had to wear her uniform to work every day. Tang Yuanchu thought that since Cheng Xin was a female, it would be more convenient when they brought Xie Wanwan up… However, Cheng Xin had thought that he wanted to bring her out for a mission and was so excited that she was all smiles as they went down to the carpark. In the end, when she saw the sight before her, she immediately pulled a long face.
“What did you call me here for?”
Tang Yuanchu took a glance at her. “Work.”
Hmph! Cheng Xin snorted unhappily. “Since when did the police become the security guards for celebrities?”
“…”
Tch! She gave another contemptuous look at Tang Yuanchu.
Tang Yuanchu was peeved. “It’s our duty to protect the safety of the citizens when they seek help…”
“Hurhur! Protect the citizens? Is that so?” Cheng Xin scowled with sarcasm, “As if we don’t know what is going on…”
She would also read entertainment news on the Internet.
Those rumored boyfriends of Xie Wanwan – from Bai Muchuan, Tang Yuanchu and now Ye Lun, she knew it very well.
Likewise, Cheng Xin didn’t like Xie Wanwan either. The last time she came to Xie Wanwan was purely for the sake of dealing with Xiang Wan. Contrary to her expectations, nothing had happened between Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan. Now, she only felt disdain left for Xie Wanwan…
“Such big airs, so what if she’s a celebrity? She’s only here for questioning and needs the police to clear the path for her?”
As she walked, she mumbled to herself in displeasure.
When she turned her head and saw Xiang Wan, her eyes darkened for a while.
“Aye! Teacher Xiang… you’re such a good-tempered person.”
Xiang Wan followed Tang Yuanchu and took rather big steps.
When Cheng Xin talked to her, she walked slower. “What’s up?”
Cheng Xin showed a sarcastic smile. “You don’t know that this celebrity is after Captain Bai? There was a period of time that news and gossip of them could be seen every day and they were a pair for many years… You’re not jealous at all?”
Xiang Wan halted her steps.
Originally, she didn’t want to bother with Cheng Xin.
This was because dealing with a person like that would really make her look bad. For Cheng Xin was too easy to deal with.
However, although a flea couldn’t kill, the sight of it could disgust anyone.
Xiang Wan gave her sidelong glance with a half-smile. “I think she’s quite good? At the very least, even if she’s a love rival, she’s got ethics. She doesn’t resort to bad tricks behind people’s backs and doesn’t go buzzing around like a headless housefly who couldn’t stop whining when she realized that she couldn’t hurt the one she intended to…”
“…”
Cheng Xin immediately turned alert and pulled a long face.
“What do you mean?”
“Mm?” Xiang Wan appeared to be perplexed. “I don’t get what you’re trying to ask?”
“Who are you referring to?” Anger was burning inside Cheng Xin. She saw the sarcasm in Xiang Wan’s eyes and knew that she was talking about her…
It was a pity that Xiang Wan was not so easy to deal with. She showed a mischievous smile instead. “I was talking about those women who behave like houseflies that like to play mean tricks behind others’ backs. They can’t stand seeing others do well and they would even try to throw dung on them… Could it be that there is such a woman around Officer Cheng?”
Cheng Xin felt like she was suffocating. As if anger was accumulating within her.
She couldn’t get it out and couldn’t make it disappear either.
She looked at Xiang Wan with a gloomy expression and laughed awkwardly.
“There isn’t.”
The corners of Xiang Wan’s lips quirked upwards as she snorted a laugh and hastened her steps.
