Murder the Dream Guy-Chapter 628 - No One Picked up the Call

Chapter 628: No One Picked up the Call

However, what was the purpose of entering Bai Muchuan’s house?

Several thoughts flashed past her mind, and she suddenly had a conclusion that made her felt flustered and ill at ease.

She directly called Fang Yuanyuan before telling Bai Muchuan what she had thought.

Dduu, dduu——Dduu, dduu——

The cold mechanical sound of the phone rang for a long time.

She waited patiently.

However, nobody picked up the phone.

Xiang Wan felt a chill in her heart.

“Why didn’t Yuanyuan pick up the phone?”

Quick, answer the phone!

She was praying inside her heart. She was on tenterhooks, but nobody picked up the call, although she had dialed twice continuously.

Xiang Wan couldn’t sit still. “Bai Muchuan, I’m worried that we might not return in time…”

“Calm down!” Bai Muchuan dialed Tang Yuanchu’s number while driving. “Let me ask Tang Yuanchu where they are now. If they are still far away, then I’ll get the nearest police post to send men over…”

“Alright! Please be quick.”

Xiang Wan couldn’t care much already.

She clasped her hands nervously as she looked at the streets and the view outside. She hoped that they could be faster.

However, it seemed true that most of the time, the more anxious a person was, the more a person would realize that things would often not go the way they wanted…

It seemed that the road ahead was congested.

Their car was stuck in the long flow of traffic, and they couldn’t continue nor get out of it. Xiang Wan stared at the long line of cars and felt somewhat breathless.

Usually, when they encountered traffic jams, she would accept the situation calmly…

That day, she wished that she could grow a pair of wings and fly back home!

She was the one who instructed Fang Yuanyuan not to leave home.

If anything happened to the latter, she knew that she wouldn’t be able to forgive herself…

Just a moment ago, she suddenly thought of the possibility that since Heaven’s Wrath brought the newly developed and tested biochemical weapons to the country, and that person happened to be Ye Lun—a flamboyant and haughty person—would he be so bold enough to provoke Bai Muchuan by showing him what he could do?

Xiang Wan did not dare to think deeper.

Her pulse was drumming so loudly in her ears.

She covered her face. She did not look at Bai Muchuan, but she listened to what he said over the phone.

In no time, he ended the call. “Xiang Wan.”

Xiang Wan suddenly looked up. “Mm?”

Bai Muchuan glanced at her. “Tang Yuanchu has arrived at the entrance of the neighborhood. They are faster than us. Don’t worry!”

“Okay…”

Xiang Wan replied weakly.

How would she put her mind at ease?

She couldn’t do that at all.

This was because that person was Fang Yuanyuan!

She was here because she was worried about Xiang Wan, and she jokingly told the team that she was here to catch demons… What if a group of people who were no different from demons took her away…

No, no, no! Xiang Wan did not allow herself to have such thoughts. She slapped her mouth and noticed that her current behavior might seem too abnormal… She heaved a puff of breath, ran her fingers through her hair, and peered at Bai Muchuan while trying her best to calm down. “I’m sorry for earlier… I was too agitated.”

Bai Muchuan patted her hand with his.

“You know that I don’t mind that.”

The journey home had never felt so time-consuming.

One red light after another, as if there was no end to it…

It felt like a century had passed when their car arrived near the neighborhood. From a distance, they could make out the sounds of an ambulance’s sirens.

…

Oh no!

Oh no!

Something must have happened to Fang Yuanyuan.

There was a crowd at the gates of the neighborhood. Bai Muchuan drove to the side of the road and was almost ready to park there temporarily.

Xiang Wan couldn’t even wait for him to finish parking, and she opened the door.

“Xiang Wan.” Bai Muchuan was also worried when he saw the ambulance and frowned at her action. “Don’t be in such a hurry—”

How could she not be in a hurry?

Xiang Wan felt like her heart almost popped out of her throat.

She wished that she was the one who was in trouble rather than Fang Yuanyuan.

Fang Yuanyuan was a direct and straightforward person. If anything terrible happened, she wouldn’t know how to deal with it at all…

Xiang Wan was like an elder sister to Fang Yuanyuan…

… Who was worried about her younger sister’s safety.

When the two of them hurried into the neighborhood, they saw Fang Yuanyuan amongst the spectating crowd.

Xiang Wan was rendered speechless. “…”

Her change in mood happened in an instant from fright to rejoice than turned into bafflement.

“Fang Yuanyuan!”

She shouted loudly with her hoarse voice with a slight sobbing tone.

Fang Yuanyuan heard her voice and turned around. She seemed to be surprised.

“Xiang Wan!”

She squeezed out of the crowd and sprinted towards them.

Xiang Wan also rushed over and hugged Fang Yuanyuan while so many pairs of eyes were looking at them.

“You scared me to death. Why didn’t you pick up my calls?”

“My phone is still upstairs. I didn’t bring it with me—” Fang Yuanyuan blinked. “Why are you here so fast? Are there really terrorists here?”

Terrorists?

What was she talking about?

Xiang Wan looked at her with a confounded expression. Fang Yuanyuan then pointed up at their house; the crowd was also peering at it.

“When you messaged me not to go out, I was restless and worried. Shortly after, the building management officers come knocking on our door. They told me that those people earlier are scammers and that they could be criminals who disguised themselves and snuck into the neighborhood and entered the house. They also told me that they had informed the police. They also brought two police officers with them…”

“So, did you open the door?” Xiang Wan raised her eyebrows.

She had told her specifically not to open the door to strangers.

“I did listen to you and not open the door…” Fang Yuanyuan pouted. “After all, I couldn’t tell if they were speaking the truth. In the end, the police officers showed their police badges through the peephole for me. They told me that if I don’t open the door, my life might be in danger… I was so scared. I thought of the two scammers, and if they stole anything. They didn’t kidnap me, and they only wanted to enter the house. Why was that so? So… I opened the door immediately and dashed out of the house…”

Fang Yuanyuan also pointed at her slippers.

“See, I didn’t even have time to change to my shoes.”

Xiang Wan looked at her and felt relieved. “Well, you’re also wearing your pajamas!”

“Exactly!” Fang Yuanyuan was still nervous when she thought of the incident. She hugged herself and shuddered. “The two police officers saved me. Otherwise, it would be me who would be carried into the ambulance… Sis, don’t you think that it was so bold of them to come to Detective Bai’s house?”

“I don’t have an answer yet.” Xiang Wan frowned as she thought of the incident.

Fang Yuanyuan was alright, but the two police officers were not.

Although she was relieved to see Fang Yuanyuan safe and sound, she was still uneasy because of the two police officers who sort of got implicated.

Needless to say, it was advantageous to stay in a luxurious residential neighborhood.

When Bai Muchuan called up the building management to verify the situation, he told them that someone had claimed that they were from building management and entered his house. When the building management confirmed that there was no such thing, they quickly did an investigation.

They checked the surveillance cameras and found the two men. The two men who entered the neighborhood had registered themselves as real estate agents while holding the name card of a resident. However, the moment they entered the lift, they had changed into the work uniform of the building management.

For safety reasons, they immediately reported this to the police.

That was why the police officers from the nearby police post arrived, but it didn’t take too long for something to happen to them after they entered the bathroom for a check.

They seemed to have been poisoned, and they fainted.

Because of this incident, the entire neighborhood was in a panic.

Those who were at home left their apartments. Nobody dared to stay inside their houses.

When the ambulance arrived, Tang Yuanchu and others had also rushed back. As per Bai Muchuan’s instructions, he explained the situation to the firefighters and special police forces. Bai Muchuan’s house was now filled with firefighters and special police officers who were wearing their gas masks. The cordoned area was guarded by the police. There were also police dogs searching around the area…

“I hoped that the two police officers will be safe and well…” Fang Yuanyuan covered her face. “Otherwise, I… my sins would be too heavy to bear.”
