Chapter 154: Is One Kiss Enough?
Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios
Definitely, there was something amiss.
Why was a props master willing to lend 500,000 yuan to an assistant that he just knew? This really sounded unbelievable.
If Jia An hadnt run away, I wouldnt have linked the two matters up, continued Ye Lun, just earlier on, I kept thinking about it and really find this incident too strange. Dong Bu is a rather timid person. Even if I refused to lend him money, he would only cuss about it behind my back. Hes not the person to stab me from behind I feel that the problem lies with Jia An. As he took Jia Ans money, he might have been instigated by Jia An and wanted to frame me
His inference made sense.
Indeed, one would turn into Sherlock Holmes when they got involved in a case.
Hm! Bai Muchuan got up from his seat. Mr. Ye, we have heard your feedback and understand your concerns. We will carry out an investigation on this. If theres nothing else, please go back now. Well inform you if theres any news.
Bai Muchuan asked him to leave politely.
But Ye Lun refused to leave. He still sat lazily on the sofa.
I still have something to say Can I live here?
The three of them were confused, their faces full of question marks.
The police station was not a hotel, so how could he suggest to live there?
Ye Lun said slowly while looking at him, I suspect the bullet incident today, is targeted at me.
There was a flash of fear and nervousness in Ye Luns eyes which left Xiang Wan perplexed.
Is he really afraid or his acting skills are too good?
Previously, the police had treated him as a prime suspect. The midnight interrogation and all that wrangling he had with the police
Yet, he actually requested to live in the police station as a request for protection?Is this really Ye Lun?
Mr. Ye, we cant accede to your request, said Bai Muchuan plainly. You didnt commit a crime. We have no right to detain you here. Please go back.
Why dont you take me to the detention center instead? Ye Lun raised an eyebrow, wearing a half-smile.
Hm? Take a good look here said Bai Muchuan as his cold eyes inspected the environment as well. Whos easier to kill?
Ye Lun got up slowly, as though he was quite unwilling to go.
Captain Bai, your sense of humor is so dry that its not funny at all.
Ye Lun must have been driven away by Bai Muchuan due to anger.
He had infuriated the detectives for so many days. Now that he left with anger, everyone actually felt satisfied.
Alright! We have gotten our revenge!
Tang Yuanchu sent a congratulatory message!
Little Liu gave a thumbs-up.
Only Xiang Wan asked Bai Muchuan seriously, Are we really not going to protect him?
What if that persons next target is really Ye Lun?
Thats highly possible! Cant imagine what will happen.
Xiang Wan couldnt help shiver at that thought. Youre very concerned about him? Bai Muchuan replied her with another question.
These are two different matters!
However, as they were not alone, Xiang Wan did not want to squabble with him.
I feel that Ye Lun is the same as Jia An. Both are the key figures in the case that we have to pay close attention to. We cant let anything bad happen to him
Hm. Bai Muchuan gave her a sideways glance but did not tease her any further. Ive arranged for that.
Urgh!That meant she asked after he made arrangements.
Fine, since everythings been settled, its none of her business. She needed a break now!
Xiang Wan took a sip of water and sat on her chair lazily, unwilling to move. Her brain was very active. It was filled with people as though she was thinking about her plot
Those alive that were involved in the case: Jia An, Ye Lun, Xie Wanwan, Chen Liu, and Dong Bu; the deceased: Kong Qingping, Cao Mengjia, and Mao Guigui One by one, they appeared in her head, playing their role. Some of them disrupted her nerves, while some of them gave her clues. Little by little, she tried to piece the clues together
Xiang Wan. Bai Muchuan knocked on her desk.
She lifted her head in shock. Captain Bai, whats up?
Its time to knock off from work. Bai Muchuan tilted his head, indicating that she may leave the office. Go back to rest.
Xiang Wan took a look at Little Liu whose desk was next to her. What about you? she whispered.
I need to go out. Bai Muchuan furrowed his eyebrows. I can give you a lift though.
He did not tell her where he was going and it was obvious that he didnt want her to come along with him. Not only that, he also wanted to send her home.
Xiang Wan felt a little puzzled as she glanced at him. Everyone is busy. Is it okay for me to go back now?
You wont be of much help even if you stayed behind. Why not take the time to rest instead? Tomorrows the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, I thought you wanted to be on duty tomorrow?
Xiang Wan was only an advisor to the team. She wouldnt be of help even if she stayed back after office hours.
She pondered for a moment and decided to pack her stuff. Alright!
Bai Muchuan drove his own car.
Xiang Wan sat at the front passenger seat. Looking at his handsome side view, she could not help but feel curious about where he would be going.
Where are you going later?
Bai Muchuan swept a glance at her and continued looking at the road.
You want to know?
Of course! She would not have asked if she was not curious?
Xiang Wan pouted and looked at the roads without saying a word.
If you want to know, shouldnt you show some sincerity? Bai Muchuan put on a gentle smile.
Sincerity? Xiang Wan looked at his mouth forming a charming curve that was similar to the special evil aura that most romance fiction male lead possess. She couldnt help feeling amused about it.
This fellow behaved so manly in front of others. Why is he behaving so childishly when with her?
Sure! She grunted a sigh and asked in a gentle tone, Is one kiss enough?
What a naive way of asking? Bai Muchuans hand twitched.
Xiang Wan, Im driving a car.
What about it?
Dont be so scary. Bai Muchuan showed a half-smile on his face. Dont you know men couldnt stand much teasing?
Is giving a kiss considered teasing?She could go further than that.
The car stopped slowly due to the red light ahead. Xiang Wan seemed to have thought of something as she suddenly turned her head to look at him. At the next second, she kissed him on the ear unexpectedly.
Muak! Bai Muchuans ear suddenly felt numb. That soft sensation went straight to his head, creating an electric current that spread throughout his body reaching his spine and causing him to feel goosebumps all over.
He suddenly turned his head with a burning gaze. Little Xiang Wan, are you asking for trouble?
Xiang Wans eyes looked, smiling fearlessly. Trouble? Im not afraid
Bai Muchuan said, Just you wait
Immediately, Xiang Wan held his neck and kissed him on the lips.
Bai Muchuan:
This woman!
He looked at the pretty face that was right in front of him.
He gritted his teeth, held her chin and wanted to kiss her
The traffic lights turned green.Honk! Honk!
The car driver behind couldnt wait and pressed on the car horn.
Xiang Wan smiled sneakily as though she was saying, Ill wait and see how are you going to deal with me?. Her smug and mischievous look was rare to see. Her eyes seemed bright and sparkly at that moment Bai Muchuan took a good look at her before quickly closing his eyes and giving her a peck on her lips.
Little Xiang Wan, you need to pay a price for messing around!
Do you think Im afraid? Xiang Wan gave him a sideways glance. At most, you can pay respects at my grave next year at this date?
! Bai Muchuan was almost angered by her. Dont spout nonsense!
Xiang Wans mood that day was rather provoking. She took advantage of the fact that he could not do anything to her as he was driving. Its okay if you dont want to tell me. But cant you at least tell me what youre going to do? Youre behaving so sneakily!
Bai Muchuan hesitated. Im looking for a man!
What! Xiang Wan was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out. Young Master Bai, since when are you not straight?
Young Master Bai had a cool countenance even after cracking such a joke.
Is Huang He considered a man?
Yes, of course.
Xiang Wan did not ask again knowing that he was looking for Huang He.
No matter at work or other matters in life, they must give each other a comfortable amount of personal space.
Bai Muchuan sent her right up to her home and left.
After resting at home for less than 30 minutes, Fang Yuanyuan was back.
Her eyes were red as a rabbit, and when she saw Xiang Wan, her tears rolled down from her cheek.
Wooo Sis
What happened? Xiang Wan immediately got up from her bed. Who made you cry?
Boohoo Fang Yuanyuan dashed toward her.
Xiang Wan was stunned when Yuanyuan hugged her tightly. She kept crying but refused to say anything to Xiang Wan.
When a person was wailing and crying, one was unable to talk reason to them.
Xiang Wan puffed a sigh and stopped inquiring her. She patted on Yuanyuans back to comfort her instead. Yuanyuan would only tell her after she stopped crying.
However, she had underestimated Fang Yuanyuan.
Ten minutes had past but Fang Yuanyuans tears did not stop. She even cried more bitterly than before. Xiang Wans shoulder was even wet from all the tears. Worse of all, Yuanyuan still had no signs of stopping her tears.
Xiang Wans brows were closely knitted as there was nothing she could do except to console her. Fang Yuanyuan, its okay to cry, but can you stop wiping your nose on me?
Cant you show more compassion towards me? Fang Yuanyuan sniffled as she lifted her head. Sis, Im already upset enough
Xiang Wan was the one who was upset now, not her.
What exactly happened? You need to tell me your sorrows so I can be happy for you?
Xiang Wan! Fang Yuanyuan flared up when she heard that. How can you be so heartless? Im so upset. Im really upset.
Okay, I understand now. Is it because Xiang Wan immediately looked solemn. Youngest aunt introduced someone to you?
Fang Yuanyuan pouted while shaking her head.
Your Chief Editor reprimanded you?
Fang Yuanyuan sniffled and shook her head again.
You quarreled with Huang He?
Fang Yuanyuan paused for a while before shaking her head and burst into tears once again, even more bitterly than earlier.
Sis He lied to me. He lied to me.
Oh gosh. Xiang Wan felt that people in love must have negative IQ scores. She was still waiting to know what happened
How did he lie to you? She tried to suppress her frustration and asked in a solemn manner.
He He Fang Yuanyuan bit her lower lip as though it was hard for her to talk about it. She mumbled and paused repeatedly before she uttered something useful, That night, he told me that it was his first time In the end, he lied he lied
!What? Its about this?
