She heard Bai Muchuan’s chuckle from the other end of the phone. “Xiang Wan, that’s a very bold conjecture…”

“…”

He did not express his opinion.

So did he believe her, or not?

Xiang Wan pondered for a moment and continued her analysis. “I feel that there’s a problem with Xuan Yue. My suggestion is to immediately have her under control!”

It was easy for her to say but they had no evidence. The police couldn’t take things in their hands just like that.

Bai Muchuan couldn’t just rely on her conjecture to arrive on a decision and take drastic actions. As there was no reply from her, Xiang Wan thought for a moment and calmed herself down. “At the very least, we have to keep her in surveillance. When Yuanyuan told me that the few of them had fixed an appointment to go meet her, I was so flustered…”

“And then?” asked Bai Muchuan.

Xiang Wan replied, “I stopped them.”

Bai Muchuan: “…”

This time, Bai Muchuan was silent for a long time.

“Hey, what’s up? Why didn’t you talk to me?” Xiang Wan got anxious.

At this moment, she finally heard a reply from him. “I believe in what you’ve said! I’ll make arrangements. Hanging up now!”

“…”

He ended the call.

Just like this?

So he believed her?

Xiang Wan looked at her mobile phone for two seconds before jumping in joy!

“He believed me!”

Fang Yuanyuan walked to her room when she heard Xiang Wan’s thrilled laughter. Folding her arms, she stood at the entrance of the bedroom and looked at Xiang Wan as though she was looking at a fool.

“What are you doing so early in the morning?”

“Nothing.” Xiang Wan tried to contain her emotions and winked at Fang Yuanyuan before pointing at her and warned. “I need to make a trip to Serious Crime Division One. Don’t forget what I said earlier. You’re not allowed to go meet her! Understand?”

“… What if I don’t?”

“I’ll squeeze you to death, do you believe me?” Xiang Wan held up a fist.

She was always bantering with Fang Yuanyuan that she seldom spoke to her in such a domineering and serious manner. Fang Yuanyuan was after all, the legal wife of an undercover detective, she knew something must be up and held Xiang Wan’s fist. “Fine, I understand. Hurry and go, don’t nag so much!”

“Mm…”

…

When Xiang Wan rushed over to Serious Crime Division One, it was nine o’clock in the morning.

The office was very quiet. When Xiang Wan was on her way to Bai Muchuan’s office, she met Cheng Zheng. He was carrying a first aid box and was also heading to the same destination as her.

The two of them met in the corridor. Xiang Wan was concerned as he was holding the first aid box. “Captain Cheng, you’re…? What happened?”

Cheng Zheng looked down at what he was holding. “Bai Muchuan is hurt,” he replied, “I’m going to check his wound.”

Hurt?

Bai Muchuan?

What was going on?

She was just on the phone with him not too long ago?

Xiang Wan was so shocked that she felt she had lost half of her soul. She quickened her steps and rushed into Bai Muchuan’s office before Cheng Zheng.

Bai Muchuan was sitting at his desk elegantly. Besides looking a little tired, one would not know that he was hurt.

Xiang Wan was a little relieved to see that. “Where are you hurt?” she walked over to him.

Bai Muchuan lowered his head and pinched between his eyes. “Just a minor wound.”

Obviously, he said that not to let her worry.

Xiang Wan snorted, “If it’s a minor wound, why do you need Cheng Zheng’s help?”

Bai Muchuan responded, “Are you saying that Cheng Zheng can handle all those serious injuries?”

Xiang Wan: “…”

By then, Cheng Zheng had arrived at the entrance with his first aid box, looking as though he had a lot to say but not sure where to start.

…

The two of them were arguing with each other but he was the innocent party who sort of got implicated.

If it was another person, he would have voiced his unhappiness. Nonetheless, the cold and apathetic Cheng Zheng directly ignored what they had said and entered the office.

“Take it off!” he said coldly to Bai Muchuan.

Take off what?

Xiang Wan was dazed for a moment.

When she turned to look at Bai Muchuan’s face, she felt her head… a little warm.

This… why did this sound so weird?

Bai Muchuan glanced at Cheng Zheng gloomily. “Can’t I just roll up my trousers?”

Cheng Zheng took a look at him. “You didn’t wear the long underwear for winter?”

Long underwear?

Eh? Xiang Wan had a feeling as though she was an actress who walked to the wrong film set.

Bai Muchuan gritted his teeth. “I didn’t!”

Cheng Zheng took a look at the hems of Bai Muchuan’s trousers. “Are you sure this would work? Hurry up and take it off, don’t be a slowpoke!”

Hurry up and take it off! Take it off?

Their conversation made Xiang Wan shiver. She felt as if she saw a green patch of field above her head.

However, in the face of Bai Muchuan’s cool expression, Cheng Zheng was indifferent as usual. He was wearing his doctor’s coat, apathetic and distant as always. He faced Bai Muchuan’s frosty eyes and spoke patiently. “Hurry up, it will be more troublesome if the wound gets infected.”

“I don’t want to take it off!”

“You have to take it off!”

“… Are you bleeping sick or something?”

“I’m here to treat your sickness!”

Each sentence they said was louder than the other. Yet Xiang Wan couldn’t help feeling… that they were similar to a couple. When Bai Muchuan and Cheng Zheng were together compared to Bai Muchuan and Quan Shaoteng, it totally gave off another vibe!

Goodness!

What was she thinking about?

Bai Muchuan’s her boyfriend, hers!

Xiang Wan regained her composure after thinking about the BL plot in her head. She asked worriedly as she held Bai Muchuan’s hand. “Where does it hurt?”

Why was a need to take off the trousers? she thought in her head.

Bai Muchuan gave her a sidelong glance and showed a devilish smile. “It’s an inconvenient spot! Come, you help support me.”

Xiang Wan: “…”

Geez!

Could it be… that spot?

If it was only the two of them, Xiang Wan would not think that there would be something wrong with his words.

But Cheng Zheng was with them?

“Tsk!” Bai Muchuan moved his leg and seemed very uncomfortable. “Little Xiang Wan…”

Xiang Wan instantly replied, “Alright, alright! Don’t move anymore!”

He was hurt after all!

Even though Xiang Wan knew that Bai Muchuan was up to no good from his devilish smile that he wanted to make Cheng Zheng uncomfortable, she had to cooperate with him…

Well, that was because he got hurt!

And when he got hurt, he seemed to transform into a three-year-old?

Xiang Wan held Bai Muchuan’s shoulders and his arm before lowering her head to take a glance at the supposed inconvenient spot.

“Are you able to stand up?”

Mm?

Bai Muchuan was puzzled for a second before the corners of his lips quirked upwards. “I should… be able to? You can try!”

Try? Try my foot!

Xiang Wan felt that this guy craved for attention when he got hurt.

She scrunched her nose at him as she helped him up. “Okay, use your strength!”

“Tsk…”

Bai Muchuan seemed to be in pain for his eyebrows were closely knitted together.

Xiang Wan furrowed her eyebrows in concern. “Bear with it a little more! You’ll be fine once Captain Cheng treated the wound.”

Bai Muchuan stood up with the help of the chair slowly and allowed Xiang Wan to remove his belt, then his pair of trousers… And then, he watched in amusement when Xiang Wan’s eyes stared wide-opened in anger.

“… Your knee?”

The so-called “not so convenient” spot was the knee?

She was fooled by him!

Xiang Wan saw the proud smirk that appeared on his face for a short while. She had originally wanted to chide him for not making things clear but his wound at the knee was real… It was an open wound, so she chose to “strangle” him at the neck.

“You did it on purpose!”

“… What?” Bai Muchuan leaned back innocently and glanced at her. “Tsk, it hurts! You touched my wound!”

“!” Xiang Wan immediately backed off.

She stopped strangling him but chose to stare at him in annoyance.

Bai Muchuan had a sly smile on his face.

The two of them looked at each other like that for a few seconds.

“If you don’t need me to treat your wound,” Cheng Zheng cleared his throat. “I’ll get going then!”

Bai Muchuan turned his head. “Of course I need you.”

Like a young master, he sat back on his swivel chair and stretched out his leg toward Cheng Zheng.

“Come, treat my wound!”
