Murder the Dream Guy

Chapter 521 - Some Response Please?



Chapter 521: Some Response Please?

The fake Xuan Yue went into shock when she got shot.

Quan Shaoteng had accurately estimated the angle of the shot.

But he was using a high-caliber sniper rifle…

They didn’t have much hope that the fake Xuan Yue could survive that shot either.

Bai Muchuan nodded his head. “Tell the doctor to try his best…”

Immediately after he said that, a notification appeared on his mobile phone screen.

It was a message.

During the meeting, he had muted his cell phone. When he saw the name of the person who sent him the message on the lock screen, he quickly picked up his phone.

They were in the same office. If it was not something urgent, Xiang Wan would not choose to message him.

“It’s not important if the fake Xuan Yue would wake up or not. Even if she had come to, she might not cooperate with the police. I feel that the more important thing is to make a public announcement… that she had woken up.”

Bai Muchuan was surprised for a moment and gave a glance to Xiang Wan.

She smiled at him, along with her bright eyes.

Bai Muchuan continued to read the message.

“If the fake Xuan Yue knew a lot of secrets, was guarded by the police and had woken up, don’t you think that the Dark Clan would be very worried?”

“When they’re afraid, they would do something…”

“… We can then outwit them at their own game!”

Although the messages were not lengthy, they were clear and concise.

Xiang Wan was improving.

Very rapidly.

Bai Muchuan took another glance at her before he kept his mobile phone and took a look at Tang Yuanchu who had just stepped out of the conference room. “Tang Yuanchu, wait up!”

Tang Yuanchu turned back. “Eh? Yes, Captain Bai?”

Bai Muchuan gestured for him to wait. He got up from his seat and looked at everyone. “That’s all for today, meeting dismissed. Vice Commissioner Liu, thanks for the effort… So we’ll go ahead with what we’ve discussed earlier. Serious Crime Division One will fully cooperate with the Narcotics Division. I also hope that your men can give us good news soon…”

“That’s for sure. Let us all buck up and ensure everyone can have a peaceful and prosperous Lunar New Year.”

After that, the meeting officially ended.

When Bai Muchuan was about to exit the conference room, he suddenly turned his head to look at Quan Shaoteng.

“Laowu, go back and rest for half a day. You can report back in the afternoon and see me in my office!”

Earlier on during the meeting, Bai Muchuan had openly praised Quan Shaoteng. Now this brother of his was filled with endless energy. When he heard that, he immediately jumped up from his seat. “Why do I need to rest for half a day? What mission do you have for me? Tell me now, I can do it right away!”

Bai Muchuan looked at him briefly. “I still have other matters.”

“…”

Well, it shouldn’t clash, right?

Quan Shaoteng wanted to ask more but Bai Muchuan had moved over to Xiang Wan. “Let’s go!” he said to her, then instructed Tang Yuanchu. “You can go get my car now!”

Tang Yuanchu had a cheerful smile. “Alright!”

Quan Shaoteng scratched his head. “What are you up to? So mysterious, why didn’t you let me go with you?”

Bai Muchuan gave him a cool glance. “It’s for your good that I let you have a half a day off. Going forward, your workload is going to increase tremendously!”

“…”

“Just go back and rest!”

“…”

Quan Shaoteng let out a sigh, dragging his tone.

“Aren’t you too concerned about me? It’s frustrating!”

Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan were quite fast. They were out of sight in no time. Quan Shaoteng was the Operations Captain, he was more of a go-getter when there were missions. He was at the meeting simply to know what was going on with the case. Case analysis was not his forte after all and hence, he need not bring anything with him to the meeting…

Huff! He was about to leave when he saw Cheng Zheng and the new colleague at Forensics Team, Miao Zichen, talking rather softly to each other. Both of them walked out of the office directly, leaving Mei Xin behind together with a big bunch of documents.

Mei Xin was very quiet.

She kept her things systemically and didn’t say a word.

As Quan Shaoteng looked on, he was suddenly a little curious. Many thoughts ran past his mind. Did she also look the same when she did the autopsy for the corpses? Carefully inspecting the corpses over and over… And, was Cheng Zheng being too nice to his junior, Miao Zichen? Did he dump Mei Xin?

That’s too much of him! he thought.

Furthermore, now that Mei Xin suddenly become lonely, yet she didn’t seem to be worried at the least bit?

She doesn’t like Cheng Zheng? But that’s impossible! he thought.

She’s enduring it all! Yeah, it must be.

There were too many thoughts in Quan Shaoteng’s head. As he sat back down, he forgot that he had wanted to leave earlier.

There was no one else in the conference room now. He was still sitting at his spot, waiting for Mei Xin to finish packing up everything. When she was done, he finally walked over with his arms crossed, as well as a smile. “Little friend, let me ask you something!”

Little friend?

Mei Xin looked at him, not saying anything.

When Quan Shaoteng saw her indifferent expression, he felt troubled.

“Hey, can’t you at least give some response?”

Mei Xin replied, “Can’t you at least say something appropriate?”

Quan Shaoteng: “…”

“My name is Mei Xin. I’m your colleague.”

Quan Shaoteng was stumped once again.

She was too serious!

Too stern!

Too cold!

No wonder Cheng Zheng chose the warm and friendly Miao Zichen instead.

“If Captain Quan didn’t have anything else to say, then I’ll get going now.” Mei Xin was about to turn and leave.

“Wait!” Quan Shaoteng stretched out a hand to prevent her from leaving. A strange smile appeared on his face. “I only wanted to ask you a question. This Cheng Zheng behaves so ambiguously with another woman and you’re by his side every single day. Don’t you feel uncomfortable?”

Mei Xin gave him a dirty look.

She already had a cold personality. Now her expression was as though the silent freezing point.

“Captain Quan, if it’s not matters about work, please don’t bother me. You don’t have to work but I have work to do…”

Mei Xin walked away and did not bother about him.

D*rn! Quan Shaoteng almost died of anger.

What did she mean by he doesn’t have work to do? he thought.

He was so fearless and dauntless against the armed fake Xuan Yue in the video, did she see that?

She didn’t!

Quan Shaoteng caught up to her in two to three steps. “Wait a minute!”

Again? she felt a little frustrated. Mei Xin stopped in her tracks, carrying the documents in her arms.

Quan Shaoteng went before her and let out a casual chuckle. “I hope you can take back the words you said the other day!”

Mei Xin looked at him. “The other day? When?”

“It’s that day, the day you scolded me.”

“I scolded you? What did I say?”

“You said I’m…”

Quan Shaoteng cleared his throat, he suddenly realized something.

“You actually forgot about it?”

“Should I remember it?”

“Why did you forget it? Do you know that you caused me a lot of pain?”

“…”

Mei Xin felt that this person had the “young master” sickness.

Unreasonable.

So everyone has to remember this young master well? she thought.

“My energy is limited,” said Mei Xin as she lifted her chin, “I also have a lot of work to do. I don’t have the energy to pay attention to things outside of my job scope so I forget them easily. My apologies, Captain Quan. If I’ve said something that made you unhappy, I’ll take back those words.”

What? Just like this?

Quan Shaoteng didn’t expect that.

Looking at her emotionless face, he felt that his mood didn’t get any better.

She didn’t take back her words sincerely. Neither did she really mean that he was “the idlest detective” around…

Why did she apologize to him then? It was simply because she was afraid of trouble. She was worried that he would keep on pestering her to reason it out.

Quan Shaoteng was exasperated.

But she had already apologized, what else could he do?

“Fine!” Quan Shaoteng grunted lazily as he touched his ear. “Since you already noticed your mistake and understood what kind of person I am, I shall forgive you.”

“…” Mei Xin didn’t have a change of expression. “So, Captain Quan, have you finished what you wanted to say?”

“Mm.” Quan Shaoteng nodded with a smile. “I’ve finished. It’s your turn now. Do you have any…”

“I’ll get going then!” Mei Xin interrupted him and walked even faster than a rabbit.

“Geez! You did that on purpose right?” Quan Shaoteng shouted at her back view. He was so angry that he banged a fist on the table.

Mei Xin didn’t answer him. Her back view disappeared at the corridor swiftly.

Quan Shaoteng was boiling with anger, and he couldn’t find an avenue to vent his frustrations.

“This is the first time I met a woman who dared to talk to me like this… Impressive!”
