Cheng Zheng was not an easy-going person.

Whether to people or things, he was always cold and apathetic.

His sentence felt like knives, that when listening to it made the ears feel uncomfortable.

However, Meng Chi did not seem to feel it.

He paused for an instant and turned his head slowly. He pursed his lips when he saw Cheng Zheng.

But by then, he had another expression on his face.

Captain Cheng? Whats up?

That felt sarcastic yet it was a courteous smile at the same time.

Cheng Zheng did not show a friendly expression to him but took a glance at Xiang Wan.

CEO Meng seemed to be quite hostile to some?

His aggressive behavior could be seen clearly beyond ten feet.

Meng Chi refused to admit but did not deny either. He looked at Cheng Zheng as though he was saying mind your own business silently at him.

Has this got to do with Captain Cheng?

Of course, answered Cheng Zheng.

Oh? There seemed to be some curiosity in Meng Chis eyes.

Cheng Zheng walked closer, there was not even a hint of struggle in his expression.

There are always some people that we want to protect and cherish? I believe that CEO Mengs original intention is the same as mine?

Meng Chis eyes darkened and looked at him directly.

Cheng Zheng was standing face to face with him. Both of them were close enough to see the gloominess in each others eyes.

CEO Meng, you need to give an apology.

Apology!?

Meng Chis eyes darkened further, there was a flash of what might be called anger across his eyes.

However, he did not get angry.

The corners of his lips lifted upwards to show a cold smile, then he turned to look at Xiang Wan.

Captain Cheng, Im just discussing the case with Miss Xiang. I didnt do anything to her.

Discussing the case?

To think he had the cheek to say that.

Xiang Wan could not believe that this man could simply change his expression with just a turn of his head.

Is that so? Captain Cheng craned his neck to a side and asked Xiang Wan in a cold tone.

Im not familiar with him at all, sneered Xiang Wan. Discuss the case? Theres no such thing!

She directly refuted Meng Chis claim.

Not leaving any face for him at all.

Cheng Zheng showed a smile whereas Meng Chi squinted his eyes slowly.

Looks like Ive misunderstood something. My apologies then, Miss Xiang.

Such an ambiguous apology? It was Xiang Wans first time to encounter that an apology could be made in such a way.

Meng Chi turned his head toward Cheng Zheng with a faint smile. Please excuse me then.

And he left without looking back.

Xiang Wan looked at his back with a face full of doubt.

Is this person really alright in the head?

Cheng Zheng also looked at Meng Chi for a few seconds before turning around to look at Xiang Wan. Try to lessen contact with him! Most men held motives.

Is he referring to himself?

Okay. Xiang Wan did not say anything else but walked past him as she wanted to go back.

Xiang Wan. Cheng Zheng walked over. Lets talk.

Xiang Wan looked at him and said slowly. Most men held motives. You just said it.

Cheng Zheng:

The two were face to face with each other.

Xiang Wan puffed a sigh and looked at him calmly.

Tell me what you want to say. I was joking with you earlier.

At a time like this, it was only normal of her for taking Cheng Zhengs side.

Cheng Zheng had formally joined Serious Crime Division One. At the very least, he was Bai Muchuans colleague.

Moreover, Xiang Wan knew very well that Cheng Zheng had come over to help her out.

If not for him, Xiang Wan really wouldnt know what that schizophrenicMeng Chi, would do.

She was not an ungrateful person, especially not for someone who had just lent a helping hand.

Cheng Zheng pressed his lips together and seemed to hesitate. I have an idea but might not seem mature enough.

He spoke very slowly with obvious uncertainty in his tone but was serious and solemn.

Xiang Wan looked at his expression as he said so.

Hence, the slight contraction in Cheng Zhengs pupils did not escape her eyes.

You can tell me what you think about this, we can discuss it. Xiang Wan said seriously.

Cheng Zheng hesitated for a while before replying her.

He seemed to be suppressing some unknown emotion. He rubbed his temples and looked up at the sky.

By then, the sky was already dark. The clouds were low, like a huge black rock hanging above peoples heads.

They wont disappear just like that.

Xiang Wans heart sank.

Of course, no one would disappear just like that.

Anyone who had been taught science wouldnt believe it.

But the truth is theyve gone missing.

The guy who took pictures and uploaded to the internet was found. Cheng Zheng suddenly fixated his eyes on her. I just communicated with him earlier.

Xiang Wan paused for a while.

The guy who made a post about what happened at Vultures Mouth before the police arrived and created an uproar

For this person, Xiang Wan was a little curious about him.

Generally, the chances of the villagers doing that were very low.

Moreover, from the way the post was being worded, Xiang Wan knew this person had received some education.

Would such a person be willing to farm in such a remote village?

Xiang Wan saw that Cheng Zhengs face seemed grim. Is there a problem with him? She asked.

Cheng Zheng seemed to deliberate for a while. I dont know.

He suddenly looked at her. Do you want to meet him?

That guy was the first person to arrive at the scene and was currently in the lounge of the temporary rescue command post.

When Xiang Wan went over, there were two police officers guarding that guy.

Cheng Zheng showed his badge to them and spoke to them in a low tone. When the two of them nodded their heads, Xiang Wan and Cheng Zheng went inside the room.

The lounge had a push and pull glass door.

Xiang Wan could already see that guy clearly from just standing outside.

That guy seemed quite young with a punk hairstyle where he dyed his hair red like a turkey. He was wearing an off-white colored suit which was incongruous with his image. As the suit was dirty, when coupled with his darker ethnic skin tone, he gave off a feeling that could make others feel there was something amiss.

Of course, dressing was a personal preference. One should not feel that just because he had a strange image, that would mean he had a mental problem.

Xiang Wan took a look at Cheng Zheng and pulled the glass door.

Cheng Zheng followed and walked up to that guy.

Yu Bo, have you thought it over carefully?

The guy named Yu Bo was originally hanging his head low.

When he heard that, he quickly looked up. When he saw it was Cheng Zheng, he flinched slightly.

Ive said before that Im not sick! I dont need a doctor!

I know that. Cheng Zheng looked at him. Im here to chit chat with you.

I dont want to chit-chat with you.

Yu Bo seemed to dislike Cheng Zheng.

He was too serious and apathetic to be well-liked.

How bout me? Xiang Wan took a look at Cheng Zheng then smiled at Yu Bo. Are you willing to chit chat with me?

A pretty sister? Yu Bo seemed to consider for a while. Okay, what do you want to talk about?

Did he accept it? So readily?Xiang Wan looked at him in the eye.

Up until now, although this persons thought process was a little strange, Xiang Wan did not think that he had a mental problem.

Xiang Wan pondered for a while. She did not know where she should start.

Lets just have a casual chat. Lets talk about this villa, how does it look like originally when you first saw it?

Yu Bo seemed to dither for a moment. Ive said this so many times. I didnt come in you are the ones who found me and brought me here.

Xiang Wan: But, if thats the case how did you take those pictures?

Yu Bo explained, I took the picture from a distance where I stood on the hill

As he said so, he pulled out his mobile phone and demonstrated to her that he had used the Zoom In function. Just like this!

Xiang Wan observed his expression. So did you find anything unusual?

Yu Bo looked away from her where he gulped. Ive told the police whatever I know.

Xiang Wan smiled at him, as though she was coaxing a child. Dont be nervous. Im not the police. I just wanted to chit chat with you and know what youve found

Yu Bo gave her a glance from the corner of his eyes. After keeping quiet for a moment, he suddenly leaned over in a nervous manner where he made a strange gesture and stuck out his tongue as long as he could.

Wah! There are ghosts here.
