Bai Muchuan halted his steps.
He lifted her higher on his back before he replied slowly. “Did anyone tell you that men hated it when they were told that they couldn’t do it?”
“Of course I know that!” Xiang Wan’s hair brushed past his neck and tickled his ears. “You’re the one who told me that!”
Her soft voice was so low that no one could hear her except him.
These whispers in the late night sounded… unusually seductive to his ears.
“Xiang Wan!” Bai Muchuan sighed while wearing a sly smile on his face when he saw the lovable look on her face. His warm palm patted her arm. “I guarantee that you won’t dare say these words again once we get back!”
“…”
Xiang Wan blushed at his words.
However, as he was looking in front and unable to see her face now, she got bolder.
She said, “I almost believed that!”
“…”
It’s none of my business if you choke to death! Xiang Wan thought.
Bai Muchuan laughed. “How do you want me to prove it to you?”
Xiang Wan’s heart raced when she heard that. “How do you want to prove it to me?” Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
Bai Muchuan turned his head with a laugh.
“Little Xiang Wan, don’t tell me… you want it here?”
Goodness! That’s too much!
Xiang Wan could no longer conceal her frenzied heartbeats.
Bai Muchuan narrowed his eyes and showed a sly smile. “Don’t tell me you really want to?”
“… My foot!” Xiang Wan almost wanted to bite him when she saw the cunning smile on his face. “Don’t you know that I’m just teasing you? Is there a rule that only you can make fun of me, but I can’t make fun of you?”
“Of course you can!” Xiang Wan caught a glimpse of Bai Muchuan’s handsome face when he turned his head. He seemed a little pale under the flashlight and a layer of perspiration could be seen on his forehead. However, there was a smile hanging on his face, and it made him look so gentle and mesmerizing. “As long as you like it, I’m willing to comply… when we get out of here, let’s find a place… you can do whatever you want, I’ll accompany you!”
Ahhhhh! That sounded sooo corny!
For a brief moment, as his remark “devastated” Xiang Wan’s little heart, she was unable to answer him.
Bai Muchuan turned to look at her again. “Are you nervous? Why is your heart beating so fast?”
“…”
He knew that her heart was racing?
“You’re so close to me, how can I not feel it?” Bai Muchuan laughed again when he saw how embarrassed Xiang Wan was. “Besides, it’s not as if I’ve never touched it before…”
“You’re so annoying!” Xiang Wan gave a light slap on his shoulder.
Bai Muchuan instantly groaned in pain. “Tsk! That’s painful! Are you trying to murder your husband!”
“You only know how to bully me!” Xiang Wan pouted.
“I’m not bullying you!” Bai Muchuan started to slow down his pace as a glint flashed past his eyes. Instead, he would occasionally look back and exchange glances with Salimu. “We’re almost there! Let’s bully someone else!”
…
Bully someone else.
Xiang Wan kept quiet.
Who could they bully at a place like this?
As they approached their destination, the cold wind from the lake greeted them…
Even though they knew that there was still some distance to their destination, the atmosphere somehow started to become tense.
Quan Shaoteng was walking right at the front.
He raised his hand to signal everybody to stop in their tracks.
The long line of people hushed at his command.
Standing still at their spot, the only sound they could hear was the wind.
Bai Muchuan put Xiang Wan down and instructed Mei Xin to look after her. He walked toward Salimu. “Secret signal!”
Salimu nodded. “Roger!”
Upon receiving the command, Salimu put his hands together like the shape of a trumpet and placed them on his lips.
Then the sound of a bird’s call came out of his mouth.
It was a perfect and distinctive bird’s call.
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not believe that… it was actually a man mimicking a bird’s call.
What impressive mimicking skills!
Those who Bai Muchuan handpicked into Serious Crime Division One were abnormal… No, they were definitely not the average joe on the streets.
Once again, Xiang Wan was impressed by the honest looking Salimu.
He was not only an expert in using computers, but he also had this unique talent…
“Goo, goo, goo… Chirp…”
The bird-call lasted for a while.
Salimu started to show anxiety when he didn’t hear any response.
He turned to Bai Muchuan. “Boss, do you think Brother Tu didn’t hear me?”
Bai Muchuan squinted his eyes, a gloomy expression took over.
They were only two to three hundred meters away from the lake. Furthermore, the place was so quiet, how could Tu Liang not hear it?
Bai Muchuan remained silent for a while. “Laowu! Go check out the situation!”
Among this group of people, Quan Shaoteng was the most skillful and capable soldier.
Based on the information they knew, Brother Steel and his men were likely to be near the lake. As Tu Liang did not respond to them, it was possible that he had run into some trouble. Sending Quan Shaoteng out to scout would be the safest bet.
In their usual daily lives, Quan Shaoteng would have argued with him.
At this moment, he directly unlocked the safety latch on his gun and moved out.
“Got it!”
Quan Shaoteng’s eyes were burning bright in the dark. His gorgeous face at that moment looked cold and stern.
Like an agile wild leopard, he maneuvered into the forest and disappeared in front of them.
Bai Muchuan pulled out his pistol and commanded. “Everyone on standby!”
“Roger!”
Everyone sat down on the ground.
As they waited, nobody said a word.
…
Quan Shaoteng did not disappoint them. He carried out his mission swiftly.
In just a short moment, he returned to them, but his face was unusually gloomy and brooding.
“These b*stards!”
Everybody could feel his anger as he cussed.
“These b*stards, they… tied Xie Wanwan on a tree next to the lake. They even stripped and gagged her—”
Xie Wanwan?
So it was true that they had indeed abducted Xie Wanwan?
However, based on the time when Brother Steel and his people entered the forest of Vulture’s Mouth, Xie Wanwan had just left Nanmu Hotel.
Furthermore, when Bai Muchuan entered the forest, they were following closely behind Brother Steel where they were certain that they did not see Xie Wanwan with them.
Xiang Wan looked alarmed and her sixth sense told her this matter was more than what meets the eye…
“Could this be… a trap?”
“D*mn!” Tang Yuanchu could no longer hold it back. When he heard Quan Shaoteng’s account of the situation, he had already got up on his feet. He looked so angry his face looked twisted, as though he was about to lose it. “I’m going to kill them—” He wanted to leave.
“Don’t be rash!” Bai Muchuan caught his arm and pulled him back.
He reprimanded Tang Yuanchu, then turned to Quan Shaoteng. “Is she dead or alive?”
These words sounded cruel.
However, at that moment, it was a question of utmost importance.
“I can’t confirm! From my earlier observation, she was not moving. Her head was hanging low and she’s hardly wearing anything… there’s only a ripped jacket wrapped around her waist like a swimming float…”
Bai Muchuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. “How many people are there?”
“Besides Xie Wanwan, there was no one else there.”
No one else? Bai Muchuan gave a cold look. “That b*stard Brother Steel is not there?”
Quan Shaoteng shook his head while clenching his fists. “I didn’t see Tu Liang either!”
They were gone…
That made everyone worried.
Bai Muchuan came to a decision calmly. “Let’s save Xie Wanwan.”
Before Bai Muchuan even finished his sentence, Tang Yuanchu already grabbed his gun and rushed out.
Quan Shaoteng shouted at him, “Stop there! I haven’t finished my report…”
Tang Yuanchu stopped in his tracks and turned his head.
Everybody turned their attention toward Quan Shaoteng.
Quan Shaoteng pressed his lips tightly. His good-looking face was now covered with a layer of coldness from the dark night. “I suspect there’s a bomb tied onto Xie Wanwan’s body! They could use that jacket to cover the bomb…”
A bomb!
An almost fully naked woman.
And she was someone they had to save…
