“I… We’ve already cut off all relations as father and son! Who are you to judge me! What grounds do you have to meddle with my stuff! So what, now the old man is going to die and all of a sudden he thought of his exiled son? I… I will never go back!” Xu Lan burst out loud.

Xu Lan never ever thought of compromising on the issue of Bai Wu. Bai Wu is his son! He would never let him experience his sufferings!

“Dam* you! How dare you say such treacherous words when you have Xu family’s blood flowing in your body! If not for this, we would never…” A sharp voice pierced through the phone – it was Madam Xu.

Xu Lan hung up the phone with trembling hand. It took a while before he regained his senses.

He was disinherited from the Xu family, he had no relations with them anymore! He comforted himself that way.

That night, Xu Lan could not sleep in peace. He tossed and turned from one side to another, not being able to fall asleep. In the end, Bai Wu had no choice but to press him down with all of his limbs in order to stop him from moving further. Bai Wu’s heart was filled with sympathy after seeing Xu Lan in this state.

During his last visit, Lan Er told him to leave Xu Lan alone. He mentioned that he had no knowledge on such matters. Initially, Wang Meng thought that he found a comrade that he could share his thoughts with. On one hand, Xiao Feng was monitoring him under strict supervision. On the other hand, Lan Er told him that Xu Lan had no intention of sorts. It made Wang Meng so guilty and disappointed at himself so much that it made him depressed for quite some time.

At last, it was Xiao Feng who called Bai Wu over.

Therefore, Wang Meng thought that he was hallucinating when he saw Bai Wu sleeping on Xu Lan’s lap as Xu Lan concentrated on the files when he pushed the door open. He closed the door then rubbed his eyes before opening it again and entered.

Nothing had changed. He wanted to call that basta*d Lan Er so badly to come over and see with his own eyes, see who’s the blind one! Xiao Feng tortured him so much because of this.

“Xiao Xu?” Wang Meng scratched his head and called out awkwardly.

“Oh, Meng Zi. Is there anything?” Xu Lan asked in a lowered tone.

“I came over to retrieve a few files of the real estate dealers for the investigation of the public security bureau impersonation incident,” Wang Meng answered uncomfortably.

“Oh, sure. It’s on the opposite bookshelf, the eighth row on the fourth column from the right. Can you take it yourself?” Xu Lan said embarrassedly. He was about to get up when the weight on his laps pushed him down.

“Yes, yes, carry on with your work,” Wang Meng said hurriedly, before barging out like an elephant after retrieving the files.

“Papa?” Bai Wu called out with a voice as if he was sleep talking, before turning around and reaching out to hug Xu Lan on the waist. He was awake since Wang Meng pushed open the door for the first time, where he listened to Wang Meng’s movements with his eyes half-closed.

“Hmm? You’re awake?” Xu Lan put down the files on his hands, lowered his head and asked. He rubbed Bai Wu’s hair indulgingly after seeing such a lovely sight of him. He felt that this was the most peaceful moment in the past few days.

“Ya…”

‘Knock knock’

“Please come in.” The door was not closed, but Wang Meng acted like it was and knocked on the door.

“Hehe, Xiao Xu, they too wanted the files for the ‘Sparrow Game’. I asked them to come over to look for it themselves since it’s not convenient for you.”

Wang Meng scratched his head while he moved over and Lan Er emerged from behind. Bai Wu stood up, he was almost as tall as Xiao Feng. His height made the two of them who were standing at the door felt pressured.

Wang Meng elbowed Lan Er and glared at him viciously as if he was asking ‘Are you blind?’.

“Hey, Officer Xu. Who’s this?”
