“Eh?” Xiang Wan was somewhat surprised. “But if she goes, then wouldn’t she be walking right into their trap?”

The murderer’s script had written very clearly.

The other party would send her a message.

That she would go to a building, and that kid… would fall to his death.

Xiang Wan remembered that. “If she goes, then that kid will die, but if she didn’t go…”

“If she didn’t go, do you think he can live?” Bai Muchuan snorted as he continued, “Currently, it’s still unknown if the existence of such a kid is genuine, sister…”

“I’m not your sister!” Xiang Wan pouted.

“Darling!” Bai Muchuan coughed twice. “Even if such a kid did exist, that kid is under the control of the other party. The life and death of the kid are not up to Xie Wanwan. She could only go with us. Only then will there be a ray of hope.”

“You mean…” Xiang Wan stared at his eyes.

Bai Muchuan’s gaze was firm. “Convince Xie Wanwan to cooperate with us!”

“I’ve said it!” Xiang Wan puffed a sigh. “She doesn’t want that. The other party told her that if she reports or let this be known to the police, her kid will die…”

Hmph! Bai Muchuan retorted with a question. “So did she come up with a plan to save her kid then?”

“…”

Xiang Wan shook her head.

With a hand on her chin, she gazed at Bai Muchuan.

“I feel that… she must be struggling inside…”

Anyone in her situation would be struggling.

“So,” deduced Bai Muchuan, “you wanted to treat us to dinner to find a chance to get her to agree?”

Xiang Wan’s eyes lit up. “You’re right! Not entirely, though, I did want to treat everyone to dinner. It’s been a while, and I feel bad that I haven’t treated everyone to a meal…”

“Hurhur!” Bai Muchuan gave her a sharp look. “Is there a big difference between me giving a treat and you doing so?”

“Of course, it is!” Xiang Wan kept nodding. “My money and your money is different.”

Bai Muchuan’s face sank utterly.

“Xiang Wan, so our feelings are actually distanced by a meal?”

Uh! Of course not.

However, this was the bottom line that Xiang Wan insisted.

“It’s not about the meal,” explained Xiang Wan, “what’s yours is yours. What’s mine is mine…”

“Xiang Wan!” Bai Muchuan spoke in a louder tone since he was annoyed. “Why did you have to make things so clear between us?”

“I don’t mean that.” Xiang Wan furrowed her eyebrows; she was somewhat troubled now.

Her logic that any woman would be able to understand with just a few seconds should be challenging to grasp for a forthright man like Bai Muchuan.

When a man loves a woman, then he would be willing to support her financially. He wished that he could give her everything that she wanted. Xiang Wan felt that she shouldn’t take it for granted; the same goes for other women.

Once the man didn’t love his woman anymore, what more reason was there for a woman to live?

Xiang Wan was working in Serious Crime Division One for the sake of her ideals and love.

However, she never wanted to surrender her career, and writing was also her job.

She wanted to earn and spend her own money. Only then would she feel at ease with herself…

“Little Chuan?” Xiang Wan reached out to touch his face. “Are you angry?”

Bai Muchuan seemed grim, but he was not angry with her. He just didn’t like her drawing such clear lines with him. However, her action and soft tone instantly made him burst into laughter. “You ah! Aye…”

When they almost knocked off from work, Bai Muchuan received some news.

It had been confirmed that the toxic gas that the authorities found in his home yesterday had not appeared anywhere else in the world…

With that, it had also indirectly confirmed that it should be a newly researched biochemical weapon that was developed by a foreign country.

The composition and other data of the biochemical weaponry were not being released for national security reasons. For easy reference to the biochemical weapon, it was given an official name using the first letter of Heaven’s Wrath—now known as the ‘HW Virus.’

Although they had found out the composition of the HW Virus, it was saddening to know that the two police officers that entered the bathroom that day didn’t manage to wake up again…

Both of them passed away!
