“Mm?” Salimu moved his chair forward. “What is it?”

Xiang Wan wanted to show him the earlier news she read only to find out that it was being deleted. Nonetheless, the content of the script was already being circulated all over the Internet.

She sighed ruefully, “This is the one. Are you able to find out where it came from?”

“Hmm… this seems difficult…” Salimu pretended to look grim and when he saw Xiang Wan looking grim as well, he immediately chuckled. “Don’t worry, just leave it to me.”

“…”

So he was actually pretending!

The detectives in Serious Crime Division One had been led astray by Quan Shaoteng.

Xiang Wan laughed then pursed her lips together. “By the way, why did you come and tell me about the deleted information?”

Salimu: “Isn’t it simple?”

“Mm?”

“Boss asked me to…”

Okay!

She couldn’t refute him on this.

Xiang Wan took a look at the time on the laptop. “Where is he?”

Salimu: “He’s still inside the interrogation room.”

“Orh…”

Xiang Wan’s expression was grim again.

When they got back from Zhang Houfa’s villa, Bai Muchuan and the detectives brought Zhang Houfa to the interrogation room. They hadn’t had their lunch. Xiang Wan thought it would be a short interrogation but this dragged on till half-past one in the afternoon.

“He really knows how to make others worried!”

Xiang Wan was worried that one day, his health might not be able to take it.

After Salimu left, Xiang Wan also left her office as she wanted to check if Bai Muchuan was out from the interrogation room. After that, she went back to take her bag and left the office. She went to a restaurant nearby which Bai Muchuan liked and ordered a takeaway. After that, she sent him a message.

“Are you done? It’s two o’clock now. Do eat some food before you continue, alright?”

When she arrived at the office, she received Xie Wanwan’s message.

“Xiang Wan, I need your help.”

When she wrote about her plot outline, she also thought a lot about Xie Wanwan. Now that she suddenly saw her name, she was shocked out of reflex.

“What happened to you?”

“I’m outside Serious Crime Division One to assist in the investigations, But currently… I can’t come in.”

“What do you mean by that?” Xiang Wan didn’t understand.

“Aye!” Xie Wanwan’s tone was filled with helplessness. “The car park is filled with paparazzi. There’s also a group of haters, I’m not sure where they come from. They circled my car and are creating a ruckus. I’m scared and I don’t dare to get out of the car… Able to help me get two police officers down?”

Xiang Wan’s eyebrows furrowed together.

She was asked to come in for questioning and was stuck in the parking lot outside Serious Crime Division One…

She felt obliged to help since she was also a member of Serious Crime Division One.

Xiang Wan took a look at her mobile phone. She hadn’t received any reply from Bai Muchuan as yet.

She hadn’t thought of who she could ask for help when she saw Tang Yuanchu in a distance…

Xiang Wan’s eyes lit up. “Detective Tang!”

“Mm?” Tang Yuanchu paused for two seconds. “Teacher Xiang, what’s up?”

“I need some help.” Xiang Wan directly showed him Xie Wanwan’s messages. “Let’s go down to the carpark. If she can’t get away from all those people, it would affect us too.”

Tang Yuanchu narrowed his eyes for a thought. “Let’s go!”

He adjusted his sleeves and took a look at his casual attire. When he saw Cheng Xin, he thought for a moment and called out to her.

“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.
