Bai Muchuan squeezed her hand. âWhy do you say that?â
Xiang Wan looked into his eyes and shared her views.
âYe Lun is someone who could really stir up trouble. He gives off a natural evil aura as though he could commit a crime any moment. Well, otherwise, he wouldnât have gotten the role of the antagonist in âThe Grey Listâ. Furthermore, as he happened to have a link to Sun Shangliâs case as well as Mao Guiguiâs case, inevitably, it had become a psychological hint that something must be up with Ye LunâŚâ
There was a sudden silence inside the car.
Tang Yuanchu, who was driving, chimed in instead of waiting for Bai Muchuan to reply.
âTeacher Xiang, so are you saying that there isnât a problem with Ye Lun?â
Tang Yuanchu had always dislike Ye Lun. After coming in contact with Ye Lun several times, Tang Yuanchu had already automatically âclassifiedâ Ye Lun as one of the suspects, which was why the moment he heard Xiang Wan was trying to clear his name, he immediately raised his objection.
âThis is an era of people going after looks. We better donât believe our eyes too much. Especially young women like yourself who are too prone to be charmed by these hot young studs. Men who are too good-looking might not be good menâŚâ
ââŚâ Xiang Wan felt speechless.
Did she really look a lot like a woman who was crazy about hot young studs?
*Cough! *Xiang Wan put on a serious expression. âThatâs exactly why we shouldnât believe our eyes too much. Maybe our direction is wrong because weâd chosen to believe in our eyes.â
Screech!
Tang Yuanchu made a sharp turn.
âYou really believed that bleeping rascal, Ye LunâŚâ
That sudden sharp turn almost made Xiang Wan land in Bai Muchuanâs thighs.
She supported herself up but her hands were on Bai Muchuanâs thighs. She felt so abashed that her face felt warm. âDetective Tang, donât be so agitated. Drive safelyâŚâ
âEarlier on, a motorbike suddenly appeared out of nowhere,â Tang Yuanchu explained the reason for the sharp turn. âI donât think our direction is wrong. Ye Lun, that rascal, definitely has a problem. Otherwise, there wouldnât be so many coincidences that every time when a case happens, he would definitely be somehow involvedâŚâ
âTang Yuanchu!â Bai Muchuan interrupted him. âDonât be in a hurry to raise your views. Let Teacher Xiang finish her analysis.â
â⌠Yes sir!â
Our Detective Tang felt a little grieved, but he listened and kept quiet.
Xiang Wan took a peek at him and felt like giggling.
âActually, itâs not that complicated. Iâm not saying that Ye Lun is definitely not a suspect or something. I just feel that we should change the way we look at a problem. I have been researching various cases of criminal psychology these two days and found that although criminal psychology is complex and ever-changing, all criminals actually have a common traitâto keep themselves hidden.
âA person like Ye Lun who has no scruples about making sarcastic remarks about the police⌠Letâs be honest, heâs being stupid by behaving this way. If heâs really the one who committed the murder, that would be too stupid of him. What good will it do for him to offend the police?â
âI donât really agree.â Tang Yuanchu laughed. âSome criminals are so confident that they do not take the police to heart at all.â
âYes, youâre right to say that.â Xiang Wan furrowed her brows. âBut people like that most probably only exist in movies or novels. In reality, do such people⌠really exist?â
She turned to ask Bai Muchuan. âHave you met someone like that before, Captain Bai?â
Bai Muchuan smiled, looking relaxed. âI did.â
When Tang Yuanchu heard this, he had as though gained a supporter and he began to speak louder subconsciously.
âTeacher Xiang, you might not have known, but Captain Bai used to be from the ICPOâŚâ
Tang Yuanchu seemed to have activated his daily âadmirationâ mode toward his boss.
From the nature of the ICPO, it was true that Bai Muchuan could be exposed to different kinds of cases and different methods of crimes. The level of crime was definitely more advanced as well, like international crimes and so onâŚ
Xiang Wan was speechless.
Bai Muchuan suddenly interrupted Tang Yuanchu and gave his opinion, âTeacher Xiang is also right about her point of view. Except for the armed crime syndicates and outlaws who have nothing to fear, as long as one still wanted to live, they would subconsciously try to stay hidden and not deliberately expose themselvesâŚâ
After obtaining his approval and affirmation, Xiang Wan pressed her lips together and felt more confident.
âI was doing my profiling analysis this afternoon. Kong Qingping stole the doll; Xie Wanwan got threatened; Yu Huiâs accidental death; Cao Mengjiaâs strange suicide and Mao Guiguiâs head without a body⌠These people do not have any common social relationship, but all of them are related to something very clearly.â
Related to something very clearly?
When Tang Yuanchu heard this, he got curious.
âTeacher Xiang, what is it?â
âCelebrity, entertainment! Public. Mass media.â
After Xiang Wan said these terms, she suddenly scrunched her eyebrows closely after giving it a thought.
âAnd, the cases are also related to the film crew of âThe Grey Listâ.â
ââŚâ
After keeping quiet for a few seconds, Tang Yuanchu gasped.
âYouâre right! It really seems to be the case. If so, does that mean that the suspect must be related to the film crew?â
âYou can say that.â Xiang Wan contemplated for a while and glanced at Bai Muchuan before adding another sentence. âAt the very least, as far as these series of cases are concerned, there must have been something about the film crew.â
As Tang Yuanchu was there, she did not directly address her deeper doubts about the case⌠as well as her conclusive analysis where she and Bai Muchuan shared the same view.
She believed that even if there really was a âmanipulatorâ hiding behind all of these cases, it would not affect the suspect that should exist in the film crew of âThe Grey Listâ for these consecutive cases.
It was as though there was a rule.
Just as all the previous cases, the âmanipulatorâ might not appear, but the suspect would most certainly be found.
Even if they couldnât find the suspect⌠there would be people who would guide them toward the suspect.
âSeems like the probability of the suspect hiding within the film set is very high?â Tang Yuanchu remarked as he pondered, âCaptain Bai, shall we do 24-hour monitoring on the film crew?â
Bai Muchuan stayed silent for a moment.
Those words that Xiang Wan chose not to say, Bai Muchuan knew that very well in his head.
After pausing for a while, he accepted Tang Yuanchuâs suggestion.
âArrange that tomorrow.â
After that, he squeezed Xiang Wanâs hand and spoke softly.
âNo matter how deep that person is hiding, Iâm going to find him and drag him out!â
âŚ
They reached Grand Orchid Pavilion in no time.
Standing beside the neon lightings of the signboard were a man and woman.
They held hands and were talking amongst themselves. They seemed to be very much in love.
Tang Yuanchu laughed as he drove over. He tapped once on the car horn and drew down the car window.
âBrother Huang! Over hereââ
The man and woman turned around.
It was Huang He and Fang Yuanyuan.
Huang He laughed when he saw Tang Yuanchu. âYouâre here!â
âYouâve waited for long?â Tang Yuanchu chuckled. âGet on the car!â
Then he turned for a look at Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan who was sitting at the back passenger seats. âBrother Huang, you sit in front. Sister-in-law, you sit with Teacher Xiang!â
Five people were just nice to fit in nicely in a car.
Tang Yuanchuâs arrangement was appropriate.
Fang Yuanyuan took a look at Xiang Wan and got on the car without a word.
âXie Hui and the others have arrived,â said Tang Yuanchu, âwe have to be faster!â
Tang Yuanchu was a cheerful young man. He did not feel the weird atmosphere in the car but was busy talking with Huang He after âreuniting with him after a separationâ. Huang He, on the other hand, knew about the fight between Fang Yuanyuan and Xiang Wan. However, he talked to Tang Yuanchu and Bai Muchuan, as though he did not know of the fight at all.
The three men chatted happily.
Whereas Xiang Wan and Fang Yuanyuan remained silent.
As the car drove past street after street, Xiang Wan could not take it anymore.
âWhy are you like this?â she asked Fang Yuanyuan softly, âstill angry with me?â
Fang Yuanyuan snorted faintly, âNo.â
When a girl says she is angry, it might not be the case.
But when a girl is obviously unhappy and she said she is not. That means she is really angry.
âI know this incident really put you in a difficult positionâŚâ Xiang Wan smiled, âI really have no choice. I have apologized and explained to you⌠If you continue to be angry like this, I donât know what to do, either.â
âThatâs an explanation?â
Fang Yuanyuan was a quick-tempered girl.
When they messaged each other via the internet, she could behave coldly by ignoring Xiang Wan. However, now that both of them were sitting together, face to face, how would she be able to control her hot temper?
âYou never bleeping explained clearly, alright? You want to stop updating your story without rhyme or reason. I got chastised by my Chief Editor because of you. Not only that, those moron colleagues of mine gloated and mocked meâŚâ
ââŚâ
The office politics in the editorial department was also very exciting.
Xiang Wan would occasionally hear from Fang Yuanyuan about her office politics amongst the editors and would laugh at it, never taking it seriously. However, as it was she who caused Yuanyuan being given the cold shoulder and being derided, she put herself in Yuanyuanâs shoes and felt she was really⌠a bad cousin.
âIâm sorry!â
Xiang Wan said softly and added, âIâm serious.â
âHmph, what can a word of sorry do?â Fang Yuanyuan rolled her eyes, still fuming. âWhen your books didnât do well, how did I help you? I told everyone that you can definitely make it⌠Now that you are finally starting to do well, you actually pulled the rug from underâŚâ
When Fang Yuanyuan said this, she was gritting her teeth.
Xiang Wan felt helpless and kept quiet.
Then suddenly they heard Bai Muchuanâs cold voice.
âIâm the one who told her not to continue writing!â
They did not expect him to listen in to their conversationâafter all, they had actually tried to control their volume.
What was more unexpected was that he actually spoke up for her.
Xiang Wan turned around suddenly and blinked. âBai Muchuan!â
âI know.â Bai Muchuan smiled at her and patted on her hand secretly, a gesture that asked her not to worry.
âXiang Wanâs story is now linked to the case we are currently handling,â he said in a business-like tone, âin order to cooperate with the police to solve the case, I have requested her to stop updating her story. The reason that you wanted to know and sheâs unable to tell you was because we didnât want to make it public.â
âWhat?â Fang Yuanyuan was surprised. âWhat does solving a crime has to do with her writing a book? So she canât write a book all her life because of the case?â
Bai Muchuan smiled casually. âWell, itâs not for sure yet. She might be able to continue writing the novel in future too.â
ââŚâ
In the silence, he peered at Xiang Wan.
âWhen the caseâs solved and if sheâs willing, she can always continue to write.â
ââŚâ
He made the decision for her, just like that.
He took all the blame for her, just like that.
Xiang Wan looked at him quietly, not knowing what to say.
Fang Yuanyuan was always in awe of Bai Muchuan. After hearing his explanation, and with the name of the police as support for Xiang Wan, although she was still doubtful, her anger toward Xiang Wan had subsided by a lot.
âSo, can I explain this reason to the Chief Editor?â Fang Yuanyuan asked and glared at Xiang Wan as though still fuming. âDetective Bai, you donât know the cruelty of this industry and you donât know the competitiveness amongst the authors in order to get recommended. If we canât solve this matter, not only her book would be ruined, her reputation in the industry would be ruined as well.â
Xiang Wanâs heart twitched at her words.
She believed what Fang Yuanyuan had saidâŚ
She also believed that half of Fang Yuanyuanâs anger was because of her for not striving harder.
âBy then, donât talk to me about your dreams, your goals, or you want to become a legendary author! Itâs all bullsh*t!â
âHm, I understand.â Bai Muchuan nodded his head and thought for a moment. âHow about this? You can tell your Chief Editor what Iâve said. Of course, you can choose not to tell. Basically, itâs what is convenient for you⌠Actually, as long as the book is good, why would you not recommend it? You donât have to overthink this too much.â
ââŚâ
Fang Yuanyuan did not say anything seeing his nonchalant behavior.
But inside, she couldnât help but retort, Hurhur, not to overthink? Itâs better not to talk to someone who doesnât know about this industry.
âFine, Iâll explain to my Chief Editor about this tomorrow. Hopefully, sheâll be appeased.â
Bai Muchuan chuckled softly, âDonât forget to remind her that this must be kept a secret!â
âOkay, definitely.â
Fang Yuanyuanâs eyes lit up after hearing what Bai Muchuan said.
It had to be something secretâonly then they would be able to get the Chief Editorâs understanding.
If the Chief Editor still refused to believe this, she could always let her have a talk with Detective Bai.
Fang Yuanyuan was happy with herself by thinking this way. When she turned to look at Xiang Wan, her facial expression was much better.
Nevertheless, she still spoke in a somewhat sulky manner.
âAlthough you canât publish your chapters at the moment, you should continue to write. Otherwise, if this issue gets prolonged, you might not be able to get the feeling of writing back. And when you are allowed to publish your story again, I doubt youâre able to write anythingâŚâ
Xiang Wan understood what Fang Yuanyuan was trying to say.
But continuing her storyâwould everything be fine by then?
âHm, I got it.â
âŚ
âThe Palaceâ was now brightly lit and bustling with activity. They could already feel the lively atmosphere from afar.
That day was their reopening. To thank customers for their support, âThe Palaceâ offered discounts for all customers who patronized them. It was the first time they had done such a campaign.
Yes, ever since âThe Palaceâ started operating in Jin City, this was the first time they offered discounts.
Bai Muchuan knew very well they came up with this marketing gimmick due to the murder case.
For the sake of attracting customers back, his cousin, Bai Munian, had to resort to thisâŚ
âBro, youâre definitely a businessman!â Bai Muchuan met his cousin at the ninth floor of âThe Palaceâ and immediately teased him. âFor the sake of money, youâve broken the rule of never offering discounts!â
Bai Munian had specially flew to Jin City to host the reopening ceremony.
Although Bai Muchuan had sort of mocked at him, he only raised an eyebrow and laughed it off.
âRules are meant to be broken.â
As he said that, his gaze slowly shifted to Xiang Wan.
He looked at her for just a second before smiling at Bai Muchuan meaningfully.
âArenât you the same?â
That gaze of his was very meaningful. That sentence was hard to understand as well.
Xiang Wan felt that both of them were speaking in riddles. Nonetheless, Bai Muchuan only smiled at his cousin and did not continue the topic. It was not convenient for her to ask about it.
âIâve arranged everything for you. Just go in and enjoy!â
The boss of âThe Palaceâ personally attended to this group of customers. Moreover, as this was the ninth floor, their treatment was certainly top-notch.
Especially as this was their day of reopening, it seemed that the place was more luxurious than the last time.
The group of them marveled at Bai Munianâs wealth.
Bai Muchuan did not stand on ceremony with Bai Munian. After getting his team of detectives to sit down, he started to âchaseâ his cousin away.
âBro, go get busy. We donât need you to stay with us here. Itâs not good for you to get involved in the world of us youngsters.â
Bai Munian: ââŚâ
âFine!â He got up from his seat and said casually, âSince youâve said that, then I should do away with the discount tonight. You youngsters are not short of money anyway!â
âNo problem!â Bai Muchuan did not mind at all. âItâs going to show up on your bill anyway. Whether you want to give discount or not, itâs totally up to you!â
Bai Munian: â⌠You rascal.â
The two of them joked around while the others sat quietly without a word.
Well, in fact, it was indeed not suitable for Bai Munian to be there with them.
When he was around, the group of them did not dare to really enjoy themselves.
Bai Munian laughed and politely asked everyone to enjoy themselves before he left.
âYour cousin is impressive, Captain Bai!â
âAs impressive as me?â
â⌠Erm, youâre more impressive.â
Without him around, the group relaxed and started to joke casually.
Originally, Bai Muchuan had told the team to thoroughly enjoy themselves. However, Huang Heâs incident had left too big of an impact on them. Even though they had knocked off from work and it was a private gathering, everyone was still wary and only ordered two bottles of red wine. After that, they did not want to drink anymoreâŚ
Nevertheless, the traditional Chinese always liked to talk business over dinner.
After drinking some wine, Tang Yuanchu raised up an old issue. âBrother Huang, did you receive a notice when youâll be coming back to work?â
The atmosphere was suddenly stagnant and everyone was silent.
âThe Municipal Bureau had initially treated your case as suspension for investigation,â Tang Yuanchu looked at everyone and continued, âthe incident was long over and cleared up. Youâre not being fired or something, why arenât you allowed to come back?â
Huang He laughed it off, âActually being a security officer is kinda nice as well. Not much stress.â
âBullsh*t!â Tang Yuanchu stared at him. âDonât tell me this! Did you forget that when I came to work on the first day, what did you tell me? Weâve made a pact to work in this job till retirement!â
It was nice being young.
Impulsive, vigorous, and saying what they wanted to say.
Huang He pondered a little as he looked at himâhe was a little taken aback as well.
âThe organization will know what to do. Let us not worry about this!â
Hmph! Tang Yuanchu did not seem convinced and turned to Bai Muchuan.
âCaptain Bai, do you think this is fair? This case has nothing to do with Brother Huang at all, yet he was being made to shoulder the blame and couldnât clear his name forever? Thereâs more, the mass brawling incident at Grand Orchid Pavilion, the media wanted to do a report on his heroic deed, but he rejected them! It was such a good opportunity for him to come back to the team for having done something good to the societyâŚ
He chattered on and on, saying a lot of things in one go.
His indignance gained the empathy from the rest of them. Under his lead, the detectives also felt unfair for Huang He.
âEveryone, donât listen to him,â Huang He laughed but did not explain why he refused to do the interview, âTang Yuanchu is a hot-headed youth. How long has my incident been over? Itâs only less than two months, right? If I were to go back now, and some drama-loving reporter were to publish such news, isnât this creating trouble for the whole team?â
After all, the offense âdrinking when carrying out dutyâ was cast in stone.
Even though Huang He did not cause Sun Shangliâs death, just that alone was considered a breach of their discipline.
Seriously, what he said made sense; if this were to blow up, it would get ugly.
âKeeping a low profile is always good.â Bai Muchuan took over the conversation and gave Tang Yuanchu some reassurance. âThis is going to take some time. Once the matter has blown over, heâll be back.â
As time goes by, the matter would be forgotten by others.
Who else would remember there was once a detective named Huang He then?
Everyone kept quiet.
Huang He took a breath, looked toward everyone and raised his glass.
âCome! Donât mention these unhappy matters. Let this comrade give a toast to everyone. Iâll drink up, you guys can choose not to drink.â
He lifted his neck and drank up all the wine in his glass. He laughed as though they were not talking about him earlier at allâŚ
However, Fang Yuanyuan, who sat beside him, felt her heart slightly aching as she looked at his expression.
âDrink lesser.â
âItâs alright!â Huang He laughed. âI know how much to drink, donât worry.â
Both of them were a loving couple. Their act of looking at each other alone could make those bachelors look on in envy.
Everyone started to tease them and asked when they could attend their wedding dinner.
Huang He dealt with them by saying it would be soon, while Fang Yuanyuan smiled a little bitterlyâŚ
Amongst all these people, only Xiang Wan could understand what she was feeling inside.
To date, her relationship with Huang He had not passed the stage of meeting both of their parentsâŚ
Their youngest aunt seemed to have given up on trying to âdeal withâ Xiang Wan and finally turned her attention to Fang Yuanyuan.
From what she heard from her mom, youngest aunt wanted to fix Yuanyuan up with a financial genius who was 10 years older than her. Youngest aunt was very satisfied with all other aspects of that older man. Maybe precisely because of the age gap, youngest aunt had been hesitating but had raised up the issue to her elder sisters about it. However, she had not brought it up officially with Fang Yuanyuan.
Well, in their youngest auntâs eyes, Huang He was totally out of picture.
If Fang Yuanyuan wanted to be together with Huang He, the amount of stress would be tremendous.
âWhy is everyone so refined today? Eat, brothers! Donât need to save money for Captain Baiââ
In the team, Tang Yuanchu was the most active person. Under his prompting, the group of them quickly recovered from the exhaustion and hardship they faced in life. They became the ordinary people who eat, drink, and chat merrily with each otherâŚ
The waiters and waitresses on the ninth floor served a lot of dishes.
There were quite a lot of unfinished dishes that were removed from the table and everyone was lamenting that it was quite a waste.
Xiang Wan also felt distressed as she looked at the unfinished dishes that were taken away from the table.
Even if one had money, one shouldnât waste food. Everyone was as though tasted a little of the dish and it got taken away due to the amount of new dishes coming up. Werenât this considered a waste?
âThey wonât go to waste. We can tell them to pack the unfinished food for takeaway!â Bai Muchuan said softly as though he seemed to know what she was thinking. âIâll also take away a bottle of wine.â
ââŚâ
He still wants to drink?!
And, he said âwe can tell them to pack the unfinished foodââsomehow, she felt heâs up to something?
She lowered her head and sent him a message: âWhat are you trying to do?â
âWeâll eat supper in your place!â Bai Muchuan replied indifferently, âWe can also give the food to Cheng Zheng.â
ââŚâ
Cheng Zheng did not join them for the dinner celebration.
When Tang Yuanchu asked him, he rejected flatly saying that he donât drink.
He was always like that in the team so everyone did not mind it at all. But now that Bai Muchuan wanted to bring him those unfinished food⌠Just what is he up to? Xiang Wan thought.
âTeacher Xiang, this soup is very nice. Drink more of it, otherwise, itâs going to get removed from the table soon.â
Bai Muchuan scooped a bowl of soup for her. That sly look on his face made Xiang Wan feel that he was really up to no good.
âWhy did I have a feeling that youâre up to something?â She asked softly.
Bai Muchuan smiled as he continued eating without giving her a reply.
âŚ
The dinner was a reward to the team.
After being busy for the past few days, it was nice to get a break and nobody talked about the case on hand.
When the dinner was about to end, Bai Muchuan thought he should give the team a heads-up.
âEveryone, do rest well tonight. The upcoming week is going to be tedious.â
ââŚâ
âWe have to crack the case within a week! The Municipal Bureau is very firm about this!â
Hence, the good mood was instantly gone with the wind.
Everyone was happy about the meal but left with a heavy heart.
Bai Muchuan really asked for the unfinished food to be packed away and kept in the car. They sent Tang Yuanchu home first, followed by Huang He and Fang Yuanyuan, who wanted to go for a movie date. Lastly, he drove Xiang Wan back happily.
Hmm, this guy seems excited today. This is not normal, Xiang Wan thought.
She peered at him from time to time and felt strange at his behavior.
But no matter how she asked, he refused to say anything.
It was until they arrived at the lift lobby of her home that she saw all those stuff placed along the corridor that it dawned on her what was happening.
Gosh! This guyâ
Unknowingly, he had called the moving company and moved his stuff over.
What was more, before they came back, the movers had already moved all his boxes up. As there was nobody at home, not sure how Bai Muchuan did it, the workers actually knocked on Cheng Zhengâs door and asked him to help sign for them.
When they arrived, Cheng Zheng was helping him dealing with the items.
Faced with all these, Xiang Wan could guess Cheng Zheng must be⌠really frustrated?
No wonder Bai Muchuan suddenly wanted to bring those unfinished food back for him.
âCaptain Cheng, youâve worked hard!â Bai Muchuan walked past the small pieces of luggage on the ground. âLook at you, we asked you to go drinking but you had to go home and help me receive my things. Itâs hard on you.â
He was really cunning!
The atmosphere was stagnant. Even Xiang Wan could feel Cheng Zheng must be cursing and swearing insideâŚ
On the other hand, Cheng Zheng still looked emotionless as though he was not angry at all. He only gave Bai Muchuan a glance.
âItâs not tough.â
Bai Muchuan smiled.
At this time, Cheng Zheng said, âI canât open the door there, so I got them to move to my place instead.â
Bai Muchuanâs smile was immediately gone. He squinted his eyes and said nothing.
âCaptain Bai,â Cheng Zheng looked over slowly, âitâs not convenient for you to live together with two girls. I have empty rooms in my house too. Why donât you move in with me instead. I wonât charge you rent.â
â⌠Hah!â Bai Muchuan laughed, âMove in with you?â
âMove in with me.â
âHur! Hurhur!â
Bai Muchuan pressed on his temples and looked at his belongings.
âWhy should I agree?â
âYou can choose not to agree,â said Cheng Zheng, âbut I donât agree to you renting my house. Iâm the landlord. Why donât you move your things back?â
âFine!â Bai Muchuan smiled radiantly, âWanwan, letâs move out!â
Tch! Evil will never triumph.
The atmosphere was getting nervous!
Frankly, Xiang Wan felt like leaving the scene.
But if she leave at this moment, would Bai Muchuan bash her?
âUmm, Captain ChengâŚâ No matter how tough, Xiang Wan had to support Bai Muchuan. âIf itâs not convenient, weâll find another place to stay.â
The word âweâ itself was worth a thousand words.
Bai Muchuanâs lazy gaze arrived at Cheng Zheng.
For a good while, nobody spoke a word.
Finally, Cheng Zheng turned away slowly. âFine then! You can stay and the rent will be doubled!â
Bai Muchuan laughed; he did not mind at all. âHere,â he lifted the food he was holding, âhave you eaten? Iâve packed some food for youâŚâ
âNot eating!â
Thump! The door shut.
In less than three seconds, the door suddenly opened again.
âAt this instant, immediately, now! Take your things away!â He looked at Bai Muchuan from the door.
