Bai Muchuan didn’t answer, and he continued to pull a long face.
Xiang Wan glanced at him and suddenly felt that she shouldn’t have laughed earlier.
This was because if ‘The Grey List’ couldn’t be broadcasted, it would also affect Bai Muchuan.
‘The Grey List’ was Second Young Master Mu’s first novel that shot him to fame. It was his first work to be filmed in a drama series and movie. Although Xie Wanwan had refused to heed the police’s advice, it was only because she was trying her best for the sake of ‘The Grey List’…
In comparison, she was the one who seemed cold about it.
“There’s got to be a perfect solution for this.” Xiang Wan gave it a thought and decided to console him. “There are times when it’s meaningless to harp over it. Bai Muchuan, I don’t mean anything earlier, so don’t take it to heart, alright?”
Mm? Not sure what Bai Muchuan was thinking, but he suddenly turned to look at her directly in the eyes.
“What did you say?”
“You didn’t hear it?”
Bai Muchuan raised his eyebrows. “What do you mean to take it to heart?”
Eh?
Xiang Wan pursed her lips.
He laughed. “What I’m thinking is different from what you are thinking. Two different matters altogether.”
“…”
What else is there? She thought.
Xiang Wan seemed puzzled and was full of questions.
She didn’t expect that Bai Muchuan would nod. “There are two more matters that are of pressing urgency.”
“What happened?” she asked nervously.
Even Zhan Se was concerned and looked over.
There were only four of them inside the car. Bai Muchuan didn’t keep it from them.
“Salimu just informed me that the Intelligence Team received news from the Ministry that the secret samples and technical data of some high technology biochemical weapons which had been tested successfully by a foreign country got stolen. According to the investigations, it might have flowed to our country…”
“What?!”
The two women exclaimed at the same time.
Biochemical weapon?
Biochemical weapons that were produced secretively?
The power, magnitude, and destructiveness—how lethal would that be…
She couldn’t imagine that!
The thought of those historical data could make one feel uneasy.
“What about the second matter?” Xiang Wan blurted the next moment.
Bai Muchuan had said that there were two pressing issues at hand.
“The second issue is that we have basically confirmed that the biochemical weapons have been brought to our country.”
Xiang Wan gasped. “Are you sure about it?”
Bai Muchuan hesitated for a moment before he replied. “Cheng Zheng told me earlier that the forensic equipment that he ordered has arrived in the Capital. Also, the professor who provided us news about the existence of Operation Heaven’s Wrath gave us another piece of shocking news.”
They all paused, and he used a weighty tone as if he was reading a line from a script.
“Heaven’s wrath is still alive and will come back! This time, it will be the biochemical weapons of mass destruction!”
The atmosphere felt cold.
This was a serious matter.
Compared to chemical weapons, whatever freak accident, homicide disguised as suicide, corpse in a wall, headless female body, mutilated body, and ‘zombie’ cases couldn’t be compared to weapons of mass destruction!
It’s terrifying!
Xiang Wan felt cold all over.
“What should we do now?”
“With regards to this matter,” replied Bai Muchuan, “the Ministry of State Security is the one who is doing the investigation. So far, we are only being informed of it.”
“… I understand.” Xiang Wan was still uneasy over the news.
This Heaven’s Wrath differed from the previous one.
Both were threats at the national level, but this one had risen to another level when it involved weapons of mass destruction.
It would not make sense to have Serious Crime Division One to be the only unit to take this case.
Xiang Wan calmed herself down. “So, what should we do now?”
“Arrest Ye Lun! Continue our investigations on this case.”
…
Ding Yifan sent Zhan Se back first before they went back to Serious Crime Division One. Once they arrived at the carpark, Bai Muchuan received Quan Shaoteng’s call.
“Little Bai, the situation’s not good.”
Bai Muchuan felt his heart sinking when he heard the latter’s tone.
“What’s up?”
“Ye Lun’s not at home.”
Bai Muchuan thought about it and instructed him. “Be careful not to alert the enemy!”
“Got it,” replied Quan Shaoteng, who spoke in a lower tone, “I have already made necessary arrangements around his house. Once he appears, I will immediately arrest him. I’ve also sent men to places that he often goes to… However, I think we have to get ready for the second plan, for this guy seems to be weird. I’ve been waiting here for a while, and somehow, I feel strange… He might have detected something and probably won’t come back.”
What did Ye Lun detect?
What could he have detected?
They made a trip to the detention center and just got back.
When they were at the detention center while ‘interrogating’ An Ying, he didn’t contact anyone.
How did Ye Lun detect anything amiss?
Xiang Wan reminded him. “Let’s ask Tang Yuanchu about the situation now. Don’t forget, CEO Song looked for Xie Wanwan earlier, and Ye Lun is the one who introduced him to her. Who knows if… CEO Song could be in cahoots with him?”
What if that call from CEO Song was actually to test them?
Would he have detected anything from Xie Wanwan’s tone?
They could have detected something and decided to take some preventive measures…
When Xiang Wan thought about this, her eyebrows furrowed. “But if Ye Lun went into hiding, wouldn’t he be directly exposing the fact that he IS involved?”
Bai Muchuan was preparing to make a call when she said that. “So?” he asked.
Xiang Wan’s eyes were shining brightly. “Tell Captain Quan to be more careful. Although we are waiting to arrest Ye Lun, he might be watching us in the dark. I feel like he might not have known what is happening. He is simply used to being careful and decided to play ‘disappearance’ the moment he detected that something was amiss… Once things have settled down or if he felt safe, who knows, he might come back.”
The corners of Bai Muchuan’s lips turned upwards. “Indeed!”
He immediately called Tang Yuanchu.
However, the line… was busy all the time.
“What’s the matter?” Bai Muchuan looked at his mobile phone and coughed twice. He was about to continue dialing Tang Yuanchu’s number when he suddenly looked up and saw a man standing on the steps. His fingers stiffened slightly and stopped his steps.
That person was standing on the last step.
Looking at them from the step, the man was smiling. “Second brother.”
Bai Muchuan furrowed his eyebrows. “Why are you here?”
The man was Bai Muxuan.
He stood at his spot quietly. He was still polite, although Bai Muchuan was indifferent to him. “My boss sent me here to understand more about the urgent case.”
Eh?
He must be referring to the return of Operation Heaven’s Wrath…
Seems like this matter is being treated seriously. Thought Xiang Wan.
After all, the Red Thorn Commando Unit was being alerted as well.
Bai Muchuan glanced at him. “Let’s go to my office.”
…
Both of them walked briskly.
Xiang Wan deliberately walked a step slower to pace behind them.
Bai Muxuan was wearing his military uniform and had a dignified bearing. When he walked together with Bai Muchuan, one could only notice that both of them had proper walking postures and a slender figure, not to mention both of them were handsome and dashing…
“Why are you hiding behind me?” Bai Muchuan suddenly halted in his steps and turned his head. “Walk faster.”
“Orh!” Xiang Wan showed an awkward smile and caught up to him.
