Muchuan And Xiang Wan

Xiang Wan rubbed her hands and had to keep stomping her feet as they made their way to the car and cruised along the streets of the Capital in winter with Bai Muchuan.

"Huang He sent the messages in a hurry!" Bai Muchuan said as he drove, "There are basically three main points. The first is the personal information of An Ying. The second is the task he just received this morning, and the third is the part where we need to cooperate with him."

Huff! Xiang Wan sighed in relief. "It"s great that Huang He could get hold of An Ying"s information in such a short period of time. Does that mean he has successfully infiltrated into the Dark Clan?"

Bai Muchuan"s expression was grim. "Not really."

Criminals were really cunning people.

"An Ying told Huang He that he used to be a teacher in a special training school and even got jailed because of that. But… there were at least five people who got jailed with the same crime. It may seem like the scope has been narrowed down but that is not the case. To me, he may as well have said nothing. Besides, what he said might not be true. There"s also another possibility, he was trying to elicit Huang He"s sympathy and look at his reaction."

His words startled Xiang Wan.

With a thought, she nodded in agreement. "A heart-to-heart talk before a mission. Either he might have been sincere and wanted Huang He to complete the mission successfully. Otherwise, he could have other thoughts and deliberately tried to get close…"

Bai Muchuan took a look at her. "Yup."

Xiang Wan remarked, "So I believe you"re unable to get through to Huang He now?"

After he sent all those messages, Huang He had specifically told him not to reply. Bai Muchuan was hence, unable to tell him about his concerns.

Xiang Wan suddenly twitched as she thought of something. "Do you think… there could be a problem with his mission?"

Bai Muchuan: "We"ll discuss when we"re at the office."

…

Before he set off to the office, Bai Muchuan had informed the members of Serious Crime Division One that they need to a.s.semble in office for an emergency. So, no matter if they were at home or staying at the dorm, or was on duty last night, all of them had gathered in the big conference room of Serious Crime Division One when the sky was still dark.

The fog outside the window was very thick.

The huge conference room was brightly lit.

With the news that Huang He had sent, Bai Muchuan deployed most of his men to partic.i.p.ate in this major operation. Every unit had their own tasks but the most important unit was the Operations Team. Thus, Quan Shaoteng and his team had to come back from the hospital. Bai Muchuan also entrusted all the available police officers with good combat skills to him to carry out the mission.

He was indeed the security guard of Serious Crime Division One… Oops, no, the protector.

Quan Shaoteng was criticizing Bai Muchuan inside but the mention of a mission where he could nab bad guys sounded interesting to him. And his fighting spirit was ignited as the possibility of exchanging blows with bad guys were obviously higher this time.

No choice, his character had been like that since young and his eyes were as if s.h.i.+ning brightly as he thought of that.

"Be rest a.s.sured, I"ll catch all of them back!"

"It"s not so easy!" Bai Muchuan gave him a glance.

Huang He said in his messages that the task he received this morning was to pick up a batch of goods in Xi City that had come from Nanmu. From there, they would transport the goods to the Capital. However, as An Ying was an especially cautious person, he would only reveal the location to pick up the goods when they arrived in Xi City. But by then, Huang He might not have the opportunity to convey the information to them in a timely manner.

"In addition to catching all these people, this batch of goods is also our top priority! As everyone already knows, the nationwide anti-drug missions we propagated and carried out has been rather effective. If the Dark Clan couldn"t get hold of these drugs, they would not be able to carry out Operation Heaven"s Wrath in the Capital…"

Bai Muchuan said as a matter-of-factly and let out a sneer.

"However, in case the news we received is fake, we need to have a Plan B!"

…

The meeting ended quickly as Bai Muchuan only talked about the important points.

When the meeting ended, the sky was still dark.

Bai Muchuan, Quan Shaoteng led their respective teams and set out for their mission.

Xiang Wan did not go out with them. She stayed in the office and waited for their news.

Ten minutes later, Salimu entered her office and put breakfast on her table.

"Teacher Xiang, do eat something first. Don"t just sit there and wait."

Salimu was currently working in the Intelligence team and was not good at any combat skills. Hence, he did not partic.i.p.ate in their mission. Compared to Tang Yuanchu, Xiang Wan did not communicate to Salimu as much. She never expected that this young fellow to be so caring.

"Thank you!" Xiang Wan said her thanks and started to dig in.

Breakfast was just some soybean milk and deep-fried dough sticks. Her main focus was on her mobile phone as she scrolled through her reviews and comments page…

The chapter yesterday was obvious enough, she thought.

The intention of Cui Jiaying was mentioned very clearly…

However, she did not find anything unusual nor anything happened at the hospital.

Did they miss this or they simply didn"t care?

Xiang Wan chewed on a deep-fried dough stick when she suddenly realized something. "No response simply meant that they couldn"t accede to Cui Jiaying"s request!"

As long as Cui Jiaying was willing to talk, she could link up her leads with Huang He"s…

When she thought of that, she quickly finished her soybean milk and sent a message to Mei Xin.

"My dear, is Cui Jiaying awake? I"m coming to the hospital now."

Mei Xin and Miao Zichen had been working at the hospital. Mei Xin took the night s.h.i.+ft and Miao Zichen was in the day s.h.i.+ft. At that time, it was not yet the day s.h.i.+ft, so Mei Xin would be the one who would be keeping an eye on Cui Jiaying.

It was also evident that Mei Xin didn"t care about the glaringly unfair s.h.i.+ft work arrangement as well.

When she received the message from Xiang Wan, she took a glance at the woman who was lying on the hospital bed. "Just come."

…

Xiang Wan arrived there rather quickly. She even bought breakfast for Mei Xin.

Coincidentally, Cheng Zheng was there as well.

There was only one set of breakfast when Xiang Wan saw the two and felt awkward about it. "Umm, Captain Cheng, I didn"t know that you"re also on duty!"

Mei Xin took a look at Cheng Zheng. "Captain Cheng, please go ahead. I can have breakfast later."

Cheng Zheng: "It"s alright."

Then he turned to Xiang Wan. "Let"s talk about the case. You have something in mind?"

Alright then.

By being direct and talk about what she wanted to do, it was so much more comfortable than making small talk before cutting to the point.

Xiang Wan heaved a sigh of relief. "I wanted to talk to Cui Jiaying. Is that okay?"

Cheng Zheng furrowed his eyebrows slightly. "Her condition is not really that good. So… don"t take too long."

Xiang Wan nodded her head. "Sure."

Cheng Zheng raised his eyebrows and took a deep glance at her. "Do you need us to accompany you?"

He had used the word "us" instead of "me". With regards to this, Xiang Wan was thankful and felt that he had shown much more consideration than in the past.

"Of course I do. Thank you!"

She was not considered the police, although she was currently Zhan Se"s a.s.sistant and was working with them at Serious Crime Division One. Hence, by having Cheng Zheng and Mei Xin around, it would not seem wrong in the eyes of law.

Prior to entering Cui Jiaying"s ward, Xiang Wan had to undergo a disinfection process and she made use of the time to think carefully about how to start a conversation with Cui Jiaying and et cetera.

However, she didn"t expect that the moment Cui Jiaying saw her, she directly asked something really straightforward.

"You"re here to trick me into talking, are you?"

Trick her into talking?

Xiang Wan was taken aback a little but her expression was solemn.

"I"ve never tricked you into saying anything. I"ve been serious all along. As for what I wanted to talk to you about, it is also something serious to you…"

Cui Jiaying"s eyes moved but she just looked at her and said nothing.

After Xiang Wan gave an account of what she wrote the day before as well as the reaction at her reviews and comments page, Cui Jiaying suddenly coughed a few times and turned to look at Xiang Wan. "Just ask me. I"ll tell you… all that I know."

So easy? Xiang Wan was really surprised.

"You… You"ve thought it over?"

Cui Jiaying looked at the pure white-colored walls in front of her expressionlessly, coughed twice and seemed to have difficulty talking as she gasped a few times.

"My son"s gone. Cough, cough, cough, cough! I-I"ve nothing else to keep from the police."
