Chapter 616 - Catch Demons & Ghosts (2/2)
Well, he still owed her numerous chapters… And it seemed like he was unable to repay his debt.
Just treat it as interest, she told herself.
Bai Muchuan felt glad that she accepted the arrangement and took her chin so she would face him. “That CEO Song she mentioned, is a pervert.”
“…”
True enough!
No wonder Xie Wanwan didn’t want Tang Yuanchu to hear all of these.
Xiang Wan had an apprehensive look. “What did he do to Xie Wanwan?”
“He didn’t do anything.” Bai Muchuan’s eyes darkened. “He just wanted her to act before him…”
Act before him?
What kind of weird hobby was that?
Xiang Wan was curious. “What did she act?”
Bai Muchuan cleared his throat. “Act together with Ye Lun.”
That was still vague!
Nevertheless, when it was something that was too inconvenient to put clearly, it was also easier for others to think it through and understand.
There was no need for her to ask for anything more. Xiang Wan more or less could guess what CEO Song wanted Xie Wanwan to do… It might be some cosplay or acting out a scene that he was very interested in, for example, scenes that involve body contact or any scene from a drama…
“Scum!”
Xiang Wan was somewhat agitated and she felt a slight cold sensation on her forehead.
“Xie Wanwan has done so much for ‘The Grey List’…”
The next moment, she stared at Bai Muchuan’s face and asked with a half-smile. “By the way, the female lead of your ‘The Grey List’ is also called Wanwan. Has it got anything to do with her?”
Bai Muchuan: “Not related.”
“Really?”
He pinched her nose. “Otherwise?”
Xiang Wan pouted in puzzlement. “But I feel like it does!”
“…”
Bai Muchuan then decided to try to divert her attention. “What do you want to eat? Let’s find a place and eat something nice… I’m tired of eating the same food for the past few days!”
“Anything will do.” How would Xiang Wan not know what he was trying to do?
However, she was a woman who would give some space for her man.
“How about hotpot?” she suggested.
“Hotpot is not anything!”
Bai Muchuan smiled, patted her back and typed a message with his other hand in the group chat.
“Everyone, we’ll have hotpot for dinner tonight. My treat!”
…
Everyone cheered for joy.
Fang Yuanyuan had been waiting at the entrance of the hotpot restaurant for a while.
When the group of people got out of their cars, she came up to them. “I’m so envious when I see you bunch of busy people, it’s like you’re going to war when you have your meals!”
Everyone rolled their eyes at her.
“Please excuse me! Don’t make us dislike you.”
“I’m serious!” Fang Yuanyuan grinned. “I was originally here to catch demons for Xiang Wan. In the end, I’m actually at home by myself all day long. I’m so bored that I miss my Huanghuang now…”
She was always the cheerful one.
The moment she opened her mouth, everyone wanted to laugh.
“Are you actually telling us how loving you two are? Quite a fancy way of showing off.”
“Sister Yuanyuan, why don’t you help me do my work? I’ll catch demons for you!”
“Catch what demons?”
Salimu had thought that she was just joking with them and bantered with her.
Nonetheless, Tang Yuanchu knew what she had meant, and he seemed to contemplate for a moment.
“Captain Bai!” he suddenly opened his mouth. “Do you still have rooms for rent?”
“…” Bai Muchuan gave him a sidelong glance. “What?”
“Let me rent a room!”
“…”
Everyone else looked at him as though they had seen a ghost.
Salimu was scratching his head. “Pardon me for saying this. Did everyone get possessed or something? What are all of you talking about? How come I don’t understand at all?”
He looked at one and then at another.
Nobody answered him.
Bai Muchuan raised an eyebrow as he replied Tang Yuanchu. “Xu Siqi stayed in that room before. Do you still want to rent it?”
“Ah!” Salimu almost screamed. “Xu Siqi? Xu Siqi stayed at Captain Bai’s house before? Why was she there?”
He was not directly involved in the investigations of the case. Therefore, he didn’t know the reason for that.
Mei Xin, who only knew of the Forensics aspects of the case, didn’t know about this either. She was also looking on in confusion.
They never expected that not only did Tang Yuanchu not mind that fact, he even showed an ecstatic smile. “It’s a deal! I want to help Captain Bai catch ghosts!”
“…”
One moment, Fang Yuanyuan was talking about catching demons.
Another moment later, Tang Yuanchu talked about catching ghosts!
Salimu’s head was shrouded with a thick layer of mist.
“What is this all about?”
Bai Muchuan gave a disapproving glance. “You’re still young so don’t ask so much! So, are we having double hotpot or spicy hotpot?”
“… Double hotpot!” Salimu replied.
Bai Muchuan responded, “I’m not asking you.”
“Let’s take the double hotpot!” Quan Shaoteng replied, “Too much spicy hotpot will affect the skin!”
“Urgh! Captain Quan…” Salimu was perplexed. “Please don’t scare me. I thought that you’re the only normal one left besides me. How come you’re also abnormal?”
“Scram! Who’s abnormal?”
“Young fellow, who are you referring to? Say that again?” Another detective chimed in to ‘threaten’ Salimu.
Salimu, who was the youngest, received a lot of disdainful glances from the team.
The group of them criticized him without mercy.
Salimu decided not to talk with a bunch of strange, abnormal people. So he decided to play with his mobile phone.
Soon, the double hotpot was served.
As soon as the waiter placed the hotpot soup base on the electromagnetic stove, Salimu suddenly exclaimed in shock.
“What the bleep! Oh no, oh no!”
“What’s up?” Quan Shaoteng held Salimu’s shoulders and gave him a squeeze to assure him. “What happened? Let me have a look?”
Salimu showed him what was on the phone.
On a social networking platform, someone started a poll.
“The second episode of the murderer’s script is preparing for the actual shooting. Now, I’d like to collect your opinions on what kind of killing method would you like to see. So please vote for the method you’d like in the options below!”
