After settling the administrative procedures, Xie Wanwan could leave Serious Crime Division One. By then, it was around 10 o’clock at night.
The assistant was waiting downstairs with the car. Xie Wanwan adjusted her mask and was about to walk down the stairs when someone suddenly appeared before her.
“Hey!” Cheng Xin, who had just knocked off work, was wearing her casual clothes and was now standing before Xie Wanwan, hands on her back.
Cheng Xin was tall. But as Xie Wanwan was wearing a pair of high heels so she was taller than her.
That made Cheng Xin stand up straight as she looked towards Xie Wanwan. “My name is Cheng Xin. I’m Cheng Zheng’s sister…”
Xie Wanwan knew there was such a person but she had never met her before.
Her glance brushed through Cheng Xin then she took out her shades from her bag and put it on. “I’m not that familiar with your brother.”
Cheng Xin: “…”
She felt like a silly, innocent and naive girl before Xie Wanwan.
Cheng Xin was akin to a flower that grew up in a greenhouse environment. How would she be able to win against Xie Wanwan with words?
Cheng Xin coughed awkwardly, wanting to get close to her. “Well, I like your work, especially ‘The Grey List’. Your acting is fantastic…”
Xie Wanwan looked at her coldly. “It has not been shown yet.”
Cheng Xin: “…”
Her retort made Cheng Xin feel a burning sensation on her cheeks.
“Well, it’s going to be shown very soon. Anyway, I can be considered your fan…”
Xie Wanwan snorted lightly. “My fans don’t seem to end up very well.”
Cheng Xin: “…”
She felt as if she was about to go crazy.
Why did this Xie Wanwan seem even harder to communicate with than that woman Xiang Wan?
Xiang Wan had a gentle look but she was a classic example of a scheming woman with many tricks up her sleeve. As for Xie Wanwan, she was someone who couldn’t even bother to be polite to people that she didn’t like. She would simply show her aloofness throughout. When Cheng Xin thought of those, she had a feeling that she got spurned and started to talk in a sarcastic tone.
“As a fan, I feel the obligation to lend a helping hand to my idol. That’s why I’m here today.”
Xie Wanwan didn’t show much expression.
Hmph! The next moment, she snorted coldly with her mask on.
“Officer Cheng, my time is precious. Just come straight to the point.”
Cheng Xin glanced towards the main entrance then took a step closer. She wore an expression that said ‘I know everything’. “I know you like Bai Muchuan…” she spoke in a low tone, “frankly, I feel that you two are more compatible. You’re more beautiful than that Xiang Wan and you both knew each other since way back…”
Xie Wanwan started to get impatient. “What exactly are you trying to say?”
Cheng Xin’s gaze became cold. “I wanted to ask, do you really not want to get him back?”
Mm? Xie Wanwan adjusted her shades, a cold smile appearing on her face. “Year after year, the police force combats crime and upholds justice. Doesn’t Officer Cheng, who’s also a police officer, know that boyfriend snatching is unethical?”
“…”
Every sentence of hers would get dissed by Xie Wanwan.
Cheng Xin felt a little humiliated.
However, she refused to believe that Xie Wanwan was as indifferent as portrayed by her attitude. This was because if she was in Xie Wanwan’s shoes, she knew that she wouldn’t be so calm about it…
“Stop pretending! You know what I’m talking about.” Cheng Xin gave a cold sneer. “I’ll be frank. I have a secret that if you use it well, you could break them up effortlessly and get Bai Muchuan back to you.”
Her expression was totally like that of a sinister villain.
Xie Wanwan’s eyebrows were closely knitted together for a moment before she let out a disdainful chuckle.
“If it’s as easy as you say, why don’t you do it yourself? Don’t you like Bai Muchuan as well?”
Cheng Xin was startled by the remark.
She didn’t expect that Xie Wanwan would directly say that in her face.
“While two dogs are fighting for a bone, a third runs away with it! Officer Cheng, this is a good plan you’ve come up with! So you want to be the ‘third’?”
Xie Wanwan’s sharp gaze seemed to have seen through Cheng Xin’s heart.
Cheng Xin’s face went ashen.
“Goodbye!” Xie Wanwan walked down the stairs.
Cheng Xin’s disgruntled voice came from behind. “I don’t believe that you’re not in the least curious about their matters!”
Soon, Xie Wanwan halted her steps.
…
Having visited the detention centers before, Xiang Wan was somewhat indifferent towards them.
Excitement, nervousness, curiosity and all kinds of imagination she had about the place before… they were now non-existent.
She followed and stayed beside Bai Muchuan, with a notebook in hand. She was like his assistant.
Criminal suspects were held at the detention center once they were taken into custody. It was also a very common occurrence for detectives to request a late-night interrogation of a suspect. There were armed police officers patrolling the detention center. They worked shifts so as to ensure the place was well-guarded.
The sounds of the metal gates opening and closing sent chills to anyone who was still wide awake.
Criminal suspects did not live a good life in the detention center. Even though it was already midnight, most of them were still not asleep. Hearing those sounds made them nervous.
Besides Xiang Wan, Ding Yifan and Tang Yuanchu came along as well.
The four of them quickly filled up the paperwork and made their way to the interrogation room.
Not long after, An Ying was escorted by the prison officers.
Wearing the prison uniform, cold handcuffs and a haggard-looking face, in just a few days time, An Ying seemed to have lost a lot of weight. When he saw Bai Muchuan and the few of them, he turned to the prison officer to make a request.
“I need to go to the toilet.”
The prison officer glanced at Bai Muchuan then scowled unhappily at An Ying.
“You’re always the troublesome one.”
An Ying didn’t show any change in his expression. While he turned to walk away, his line of sight met with Bai Muchuan’s for an instant before he quickly turned away.
This was not the first time they interrogated An Ying at the detention center.
Every time, he was very cooperative.
However, he also knew how to exercise his rights very well.
Going to the toilet, wanting to drink water, wanting to smoke and more. He would use all tactics he could think of, to delay time.
Bai Muchuan crossed his arms, sat comfortably and showed a lot of patience.
Xiang Wan furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at the retreating An Ying. “He’s not easy to deal with, huh?”
Bai Muchuan turned to glance at her. “How did you know?”
Xiang Wan chuckled. “There are many times that a person can be judged by appearance…”
Bai Muchuan did not refute that.
As the four of them waited quietly, 10 minutes had passed when the prison officer took An Ying back.
When he sat down on the chair in the interrogation room, he gave an explanation with a smile.
“It’s a big one, sorry for the wait.”
“…” No one said anything.
An Ying raised his arms indifferently. “You can see for yourselves. It’s inconvenient to live here. Even wiping the buttocks is a problem…”
“…”
This person!
Certainly, he was someone not easy to deal with.
He could face the detectives with such ease. That was already quite an amazing ability.
Xiang Wan’s gaze deepened as she scrutinized An Ying. Bai Muchuan, however, cleared his throat and motioned for Tang Yuanchu to take the statement.
“Wei Gang, we are here as there are some questions that we want to ask you.”
An Ying laughed casually. “Ask away.”
Bai Muchuan: “You said that you’re the one who formulated the plans of Operation Heaven’s Wrath. Tell us, who else is involved?”
An Ying replied, “Didn’t you ask me that numerous times already?”
Bai Muchuan spoke in a firm tone. “I want the truth.”
An Ying nodded his head in understanding. “It’s my men of course. Didn’t you catch all of them already? Those you didn’t manage to catch are all enjoying themselves abroad. I doubt you’ll ever be able to catch them in your lifetime…”
Bai Muchuan looked at him with a grim face. “Out with it! Who’s the one who connected you with the foreign forces back then?”
After settling the administrative procedures, Xie Wanwan could leave Serious Crime Division One. By then, it was around 10 o’clock at night.
