Chapter 634: Would Rather Die

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Bai Muchuan and Ding Yifan decided to make a trip to Xie Wanwan’s house.

Of course, he also brought Xiang Wan along.

Initially, Xiang Wan didn’t want to go at all since she felt like she was his underling.

However, since Bai Muchuan didn’t want any rumors to spread, he insisted for her to come along.

Xiang Wan felt that he was too careful that it felt deliberate.

It would become uncomfortable.

Nevertheless, since this was for the sake of work, everything else was trivial.

While on the way to Xie Wanwan’s house, Xiang Wan received Fang Yuanyuan’s call.

She had arrived at the airport and was about to board the plane.

“Bye-bye! Do come back to Jin City when you’re free!”

“I will!” Xiang Wan said her farewell, “Do be careful and come to the Capital to play when you’re free.”

“D*rn! Can we not be so polite to each other? It’s so awkward. Okay, okay, I won’t hold you up any longer. Remember what you promised me. Buy me cat food… My Bao Jie now depends on your cat food to survive!”

“Sure…”

The mention of Bao Jie reminded Xiang Wan of Blackie.

Where did Blackie go?

Maybe she might not find the cat again.

The world was so vast, where could she find the cat?

“Hello, hello… Say something?” Fang Yuanyuan prompted.

“Definitely!” Xiang Wan tried to perk herself up. “Just wait to receive the cat food.”

“Bye! If you found Blackie, remember to let me know…”

“I will. Bye!”

…

Xie Wanwan lived on the east side of the city.

They traveled almost half of the city and finally arrived at her house.

It was Tang Yuanchu who opened the door for them.

His expression was gloomy, lips tightly pressed together; his dark eye circles were evident—an indication that he didn’t sleep well last night. As for Xie Wanwan’s house, it was far worse than what Ding Yifan had described. Xiang Wan even suspected that the Xie Wanwan who lived in Bai Muchuan’s place, and the one in this house was not the same person.

When she was staying with them, she made sure things were clean.

However, her own home… was similar to a junkyard.

Clothes, shoes, socks, bags, food, and all kinds of items were strewn all over the place.

Chanel, Gucci, LV, Cartier… All kinds of luxury brands were thrown on the floor like garbage. There was hardly any place to walk in the living room.

Gasp!

Xiang Wan was shocked.

This was how rich people live their lives, then?

“Cough… cough, cough…”

Bai Muchuan stood at the doorway. Maybe it was because he couldn’t stand the sight of such messiness, so he started to cough.

Xiang Wan glanced over at him but didn’t say a word.

She knew that this guy was actually a neat freak.

When he lived alone by himself, he lived exquisitely. He didn’t like his house to be messy and would want his home to spick and span.

The sight of this famous female celebrity’s house left them thunderstruck.

Xie Wanwan, who was throwing a fit, was the first to open her mouth.

She held a book high up and let it slip past her fingers before she walked towards Bai Muchuan.

“You’re here at the right time!” Her tone didn’t sound friendly. Her hair was quite messy, and she looked like she had seen her enemy. “Am I a criminal? What right do you have to restrict my freedom?”

Bai Muchuan only furrowed his eyebrows and didn’t answer her.

Xiang Wan looked at the book, which had fallen to the floor. It was one of the physical editions of ‘The Grey List’…

“Miss Xie, do calm down first.” Xiang Wan was a woman, and she believed that she could understand Xie Wanwan better than any of the detectives present. She thought that the latter couldn’t stand the restriction in freedom, as well as having to see Tang Yuanchu 24 hours a day.

She was torn apart by her conflicting emotions.

Every hour and minute was torture for her.

“So… can we come in first, then talk?”

Xiang Wan pointed at the living room then pointed at herself, Bai Muchuan and Ding Yifan.

Xie Wanwan’s fuming expression was controlled and suppressed when she saw Xiang Wan’s gentle expression.

“Come in and talk.”

She was wearing her home clothes and had a ponytail on. She seemed to have calmed down, and she even cleared up the things on the sofa for them.

“My apologies, it’s kinda messy here.”

She said that while facing Xiang Wan. She was trying to control her emotions.

“Thank you!” Xiang Wan smiled.

Bai Muchuan felt that he had made a wise choice on insisting Xiang Wan come along with him.

Women and men were completely two different creatures. They were men, and Xie Wanwan was a beauty. When a beautiful woman acts up before these men, it was tough for any of them to keep her calm…

This was because Xie Wanwan was not a suspect.

She was a possible victim…

Limiting her freedom was passive; they had no choice.

Although… they had meant well.

Bai Muchuan squeezed Xiang Wan’s hands gently when they sat down on the sofa.

Although he didn’t say anything, Xiang Wan understood what he wanted to express—

He wanted her to continue talking to Xie Wanwan…

And leave Xiang Wan the task of talking to her to learn more about the situation.

Both of them met each other’s gaze for an instant.

A second later, she looked away and smiled at Xie Wanwan.

“I heard that our Detective Tang had a tough time here…”

She used a casual and joking tone to talk to her. She did that mainly to start off the conversation with a topic.

Xie Wanwan didn’t show much response. “I don’t accept such surveillance on me.” She didn’t continue Xiang Wan’s topic but spoke about what she wanted. “All of you have no right to do that to me. I don’t accept Detective Tang trying to control my freedom…”

Xiang Wan nodded. “I understand your concerns. After all, living like this is really inconvenient.”

Xie Wanwan narrowed her eyes. She was doubtful since Xiang Wan assented to her complaints.

Xiang Wan smiled then contemplated for a moment before speaking in a severe tone. “But Miss Xie, you probably made a mistake. Detective Tang did all these for the sake of your safety. He did this as a friend, not as a police officer.”

“Friend?” Xie Wanwan sneered. “I’m not friends with him.”

Straight to the point.

Well, that kinda hurt.

Tang Yuanchu seemed a little awkward.

Xiang Wan glanced at him. “I haven’t finished my words. What I mean is—your friend, Bai Muchuan, entrusted him to care and protect you.”

Xie Wanwan didn’t expect Xiang Wan to say that.

She was startled momentarily before showing a smile. “I don’t think Detective Bai and myself… are friends anymore? So, let’s not talk about this but focus on the issue. What do you think?”

“I can understand your frustrations,” said Xiang Wan calmly and with a smile, “but I don’t agree with your words. When you moved into Bai Muchuan’s house, it was because you feel that your life might be threatened. Back then, he took you in as a friend… So the situation now is that you’re in greater danger and you need round-the-clock protection. Am I right?”

Her seemingly gentle words directly retorted Xie Wanwan’s earlier words that she wasn’t friends with Bai Muchuan.

If they weren’t friends, then why would she come to stay at their place?

She had feared for her life then. Now that she was in greater danger, why wasn’t she worried anymore?

Xie Wanwan’s expression turned grim. Her fit of rage that she had suppressed earlier seemed to be showing on her face.

“No matter what all of you say, I won’t accept it.”

Without waiting for Xiang Wan to continue, she repeated what she wanted.

“If all of you insisted on continuing such protection, then I’d rather die…”
