In the hall, the police was still taking the statements of the people.

Xiang Wan accompanied Fang Yuanyuan to sit back inside the car as she looked quietly at the shabby houses up for demolition in the stark contrast against the brightly lit courtyard and nice villa. Somehow, she did not like this and felt uncomfortable

It was a kind of helpless and depressed feeling.

It was a seemingly beautiful society, but there would always be some dirt hidden

Fang Yuanyuan was immersed in her own world while she sobbed. Sis, is it true? Huang He really wanted a breakup with me?

He had made it so clear earlier, of course its true, silly girl!

Xiang Wan furrowed her brows as she looked out of the car window to take a peek at the courtyard.

Lets calm down first. When a person is feeling agitated, its not suitable to make decisions Xiang Wan patted on Yuanyuans back slowly.

The situation today was too bizarre.

From what she had gathered earlier, that woman Tian Danyue was Huang Hes first love.

The two of them got into a relationship during their school days. After they graduated, they parted ways and did not contact each other for many years. They only recently met each other in Jin City

They have regained their love for each other and Im being kept in the dark. Hah, Im such an idiot! Fang Yuanyuan hugged and desperately rubbed her own head. Men are really good at coaxing people. You know how honest Huang He is, hes a shy person especially around women Our first time, Im the one who initiated He was so shy and even swore that he had never had other women before And look what actually happened.

Xiang Wan could not say a word but only continued to pat her back.

No wonder there are people who say if mens words can be trusted, a sow would be able to climb trees.

Dont think about it anymore! Xiang Wan puffed a sigh. Let things take its natural course.

No, I cant. I really cant let it go. Fang Yuanyuan pouted her lips sorrowfully and began to sob again, tears flowing down her cheeks. Sis, Im too deeply involved this time Do you believe me? Just earlier, I was still thinking if hes willing to come back and apologize to me I still want him and am willing to be with him

Xiang Wan looked at Yuanyuans red eyes and felt her heart aching for her. Nonetheless, she was at a loss of how to console her to make her feel better.

In terms of relationships, she was like a blind person herself and was unable to guide others.

Am I really an idiot? Fang Yuanyuan sniffled as she asked, tears continuing to flow. I think I am. I really despise myself for thinking that way, but I cant help it. I kept thinking about how good he is to me. I thought maybe I didnt do enough for him I might be too fierce to him, so thats why that woman managed to come in between us. I even thought of snatching him back.

You couldnt get over him now as youre too deeply in love with him.

Not for a while, but forever. Fang Yuanyuan sobbed and rested her head on Xiang Wans shoulders. I feel terrible, sis My heart feels like it has been emptied and all my hopes are crushed into pieces I finally understand why women who fell out of love are so extreme. Some of them wanted to become a nun, some jumped off from high buildings, some slashed their wrists I know why they did that now. Sis Im also thinking of doing that

She was too heartbroken.

So heartbroken that she talked incoherently.

Self-esteem and pride had disappeared in front of her feelings.

Xiang Wan felt heavy-hearted as she patted Yuanyuans back as if she was consoling a child.

Silly girl! You can get through it. Believe me, no matter how painful a matter is, you will get through it one day

Boohooo I cant I love him I cant get over it

Xiang Wan could not help feeling a little tingling sensation on her nose as she heard Yuanyuan talking about this. She sniffled her nose and hugged Yuanyuan tightly when she noticed that Yuanyuans shoulders were trembling from all the crying. Xiang Wan took a look outside and calmed herself down. Maybe, she whispered, things are not as bad as you said

Not as bad? Isnt it really bad now? Fang Yuanyuan sobbed, and then as if she thought of something, she suddenly lifted her head and stared at Xiang Wan with her teary eyes. What do you mean?

Xiang Wan pursed her lips and shook her head.

I dont know. I just feel that Huang He did not seem to be such a person. This matter has happened too suddenly and I have doubts about it

Actually I feel that its strange as well, too strange in fact. I just couldnt convince myself. Fang Yuanyuan suddenly said in a soft tone as she sniffled. Frankly, I sort of believed that when we did it that was really his first time.

Has this girl gone bonkers?Xiang Wan thought.

One moment, she believed him. The next moment, she doubted him. Did she still have her own ability to judge for herself?

Xiang Wan felt speechless. Such matters are difficult to ascertain.

Fang Yuanyuan took a piece of tissue paper to wipe her tears away and mumbled in her hoarse voice softly. I know that men dont have a hymen. But I can still feel if it was his first time doing that He was so stupid and clueless about it Our first time, he only lasted a second.

Xiang Wan was speechless.

This was such a private matter. Fang Yuanyuan actually shared it with her.

Poor Huang He!His privacy had unknowingly been utterly exposed that even his underpants had been removed.

Such a matter Xiang Wan sighed softly. Thats really up to you to judge. I cant help with your relationship matters. But my opinion and advice are, no matter what Yuanyuan, dont let a man be your everything, youre going to get hurt. Even if its not today, its going to be tomorrow. You understand?

Fang Yuanyuan looked up with her teary eyes and nodded her head.

Then, she pouted her mouth, shook her head desperately and cried on Xiang Wans shoulders.

I dont understand. I dont know anything anymore. I only want Huang He, I only want him to be with me

Women in love are blind.

Women who fell out of love are unreasonable.

Xiang Wan was not able to console Fang Yuanyuan. Knowing that it must be pretty late by now, she used a hand to call Bai Muchuan as she wanted to send Yuanyuan home first.

Once Yuanyuan reached home, she would at least be better off here as from time to time, she could see Huang He together with that woman. It would be strange if she stayed calm.

Bai Muchuan came over quite fast. He opened the car to the drivers seat directly. Ill send you both back first.

Xiang Wan gave him a glance. Is it convenient for you to leave?

Bai Muchuan met her gaze. She could see the fatigue in his eyes. Old Qi, Tang Yuanchu, and the rest are here. Dont worry.

Okay!

The car started and went all the way out through the narrow alley, and in no time, they were driving on the highway.

The night breeze blew in through the window and their hair got tousled about in the wind.

It felt gentle but cold-hearted for the wind never stoppedit had come then gone away.

Fang Yuanyuan was sobbing on Xiang Wans shoulders and fell asleep subsequently.

When Xiang Wan heard Yuanyuans constant and peaceful breathing, she let her lie in a comfortable position and her heart finally eased up.

During the journey, Bai Muchuan did not say a word. Xiang Wan did not talk as well since Fang Yuanyuan was sobbing.

Now that she had fallen asleep, Xiang Wan could finally get the words out of her heart all these while.

Whats going on with Huang He?

Nothing, its what you saw. Bai Muchuan continued to look directly ahead. Weve been searching the whole city for the missing Jia An. He was the one who told me about Jia Ans brother-in-law, Zhou Dequan. He said Jia An could very well be hiding at Zhou Dequans house

And? Xiang Wan stared at the back of his head.

And I went to look him up. You know about this.

Hm. Xiang Wan pondered about the sequence of the incident and smiled with her lips pursed together. So you agreed to come to eat hotpot with me but failed to turn up as you went to Zhou Dequans house and got held there?

About there! Bai Muchuan smiled casually.

Liar! Xiang Wan snorted. Youre not that kind of person who does things without a plan. This is such an important matter. How can you just go alone like this?

Bai Muchuan remained silent.

I didnt expect to see Jia An inside the house. In the end, I saw him and I wanted to bring him away. Zhou Dequan refused and wanted to protect Jia An You already know the rest.

I dont know. Xiang Wan put on a cold expression. Im confused, okay?

Bai Muchuan took a glance at her, wearing a half-smile. Fine, Ill repeat it for you, my Queenwhen the group of you appeared, Jia An got flustered and wanted to run away. But before he did that, he wanted to get rid of me. So he took a gun Its the gun he took from the props team of the film crew and wanted to shoot me. At this moment, Zhou Dequan appeared with his men, and in order to save me, his men accidentally shot Jia An to death.

Xiang Wan raised an eyebrow. So simple?

Bai Muchuan: Its that simple.

Somehow, Xiang Wan frowned. I dont think its so simple?

Bai Muchuan finally turned his head to give her a glance. His eyes seemed to be serious for an instant.

Xiang Wan stared at his dashing side profile, saying each word seriously, Dont forget that Im the advisor that you personally employed for the team. Im striving to be a professional profiling master If I cant even tell theres a problem with this, wont I disgrace you?

Youre right! Bai Muchuan chuckled. My girl is surely good at she does! Tell me what is wrong then.

Firstly, if Jia An wants to run away, he has no reason to kill you at all. Aint that equivalent to asking for trouble? Which criminal doesnt sneak away but actually tries to fire a shot when there are so many people at the courtyard? Is he a moron?

Secondly, Zhou Dequan already dared to keep you under house arrest when he wanted to protect Jia An. Why did he suddenly change his heart and actually killed him in order to save you? Obviously, Jia An had known of too many things. In order to save his own butt, Zhou Dequan abandoned Jia An by killing him. He gained a good reputation for saving you, but he also made you the scapegoat. Thats killing two birds with one stone.

Bai Muchuan remained silent.

When he stopped the car at a junction due to red lights, he turned to look at her.

Is there a third?

Yes, Xiang Wan looked into his eyes. You are keeping something from me.

Bai Muchuan furrowed his eyebrows.

The lights outside the car shone on his handsome looking face.

Deep set eyes, well-defined chiseled face but she was unable to know what he was thinking.

Xiang Wan, When the green lights were on, Bai Muchuan said slowly, I hope you understand, there are some things I cant tell you at the moment because of my job. But theres one thing you must be clear

What is it? Xiang Wan wondered at the seriousness of his tone.

This case is more complicated than what we imagined it to be. Bai Muchuans voice had a hint of chill. What weve gotten in this time is a hornets nest.

A hornets nest That meant the opponent wasnt someone easy to deal with.

Xiang Wan remained quiet for a while. Are you going to continue the investigation?

Of course! Why not? Bai Muchuan sneered, The national emblem is above my head. Why should I be afraid? No matter how mighty the opponent is, I dare to take them on!

Thats the spirit! I know youll be able to do it! Xiang Wan pursed her lips lightly and suddenly gave a kiss on his ear.

Hey! What are you doing Bai Muchuan quivered. You little woman, do you believe Ill punish you?

Hahahah! I dont believe you! Youre so busy that I dont think you have the time!

Just look at your arrogant face! Bai Muchuan grunted a laugh. Just you wait! Youll be begging for mercy!

Xiang Wan dared not argue back anymore.

If she continued the topic, it was going to become adult-rated.

If Fang Yuanyuan heard all of these, she would surely laugh at Xiang Wan for the rest of her life.

Bai Muchuan sent them up to their house and left.

From the car and back up to their house, Fang Yuanyuan was upset for a long time. Xiang Wan stayed with her and consoled her, unable to do anything else

Around three oclock in the morning, Fang Yuanyuan finally fell slept, although she was still sobbing in her sleep.

Xiang Wan read a story using her mobile phone for a while. As she waited for Bai Muchuan to come back, she eventually fell asleep as well.

The next day morning, Cheng Zheng brought breakfast over as usual.

By now, Xiang Wan had lost all motivation to ask him not to buy or come up with any other excuses for him not to do that anymore.

There were many things that would gradually become a habit.

She totally treated Cheng Zheng as a friendly neighbor, asking him to eat with them and talked about the case.

What time did you come back last night?

Cheng Zheng gave her a glance. After you left, in about less than an hour.

Eh?How did he know when she left?

Xiang Wans gaze was puzzled for an instant. Hows the autopsy of the corpse? she asked another question.

Cheng Zhengs eyes looked down without looking at her. Nothing much.

Xiang Wan was confused. Nothing much?

Cheng Zheng hesitated for a moment and said without any expression. It was exactly as what they said.

All right! If thats the case, that meant an important witness had been taken out.

Hah! The perfect scapegoat has been born! With Jia Ans death, the case will be solved soon
