Chapter 82: A Seven Member Organization Part 2

Bai Jin Xi and the others arrive following the sound of gunshots, and what they see is——

Han Chen is covered in blood sitting behind a big tree with a cold expression on his face.  Beside him is Xin Jia’s dead body which is penetrated by a gunshot wound.

Chatterbox and Cold Face rush over.

“Leader!  What happened?”

“Leader, did you get hurt?  Is Xin Jia……”

Bai Jin Xi’s eyes are fixed on his face as she walks carefully toward him.  Her heart feels as if it’s hanging at the top of a cliff.

Han Chen looks at them and his eyes land on Jin Xi.  He stands up and says to them first, “I’m fine.  Cold Face, survey the area to see if there are any traces of evidence.  Chatterbox, contact support immediately and block off the roads around here.  The person who killed Xin Jia has just run away not long ago……” Read more

Chapter 80: Poisonous Beauty Part 2

Xin Jia shakes her head, “That’s something that we cannot explain.  Perhaps it’s because you two were at the same explosion point and experienced the exact same impact and damage.  Or maybe because you both were given the same injection to induce nerve paralysis.”

Han Chen’s expression becomes even colder.  He pushes her arm away causing her to fall sitting on the ground.  He walks over looking down at her, “Who’s behind all of this?  Who is your leader?”

Xin Jia gets up from the ground and looks at him with her head tilting upwards.

Han Chen is extremely scary like this; it’s also why it makes her heart ache yet infatuated with him.  His expression is so cold that it seems as if a layer of frost is glazed over it.  He’s covered in animosity; as if no one can get close to him.  And in the past few years that he lost Su Mian, he has always been like this.

Chapter 79: Poisonous Beauty Part 1

The mountain road at daybreak is meandering and quiet.  Beautiful and dense trees stand on both sides.  On top of the mountain is the azureous and brightly lit sky.

Han Chen drives for another while before saying, “We’re already at Mount Heming.  Are you going to tell me or not?”

Xin Jia has been staring at his side profile from the backseat.  Her gaze is obsessive and a sense of not wanting to let go.  She answers softly, “Continue further ahead.  You’ll see a white colored house.  Let’s stop there.”

Han Chen doesn’t speak anymore.  From Xin Jia’s angle, his face is like a statue, not showing any bit of emotion.  His pitch black pupils are beautiful and mesmerizing as always.  Her nose feels sour suddenly.  She sniffs lightly and says with a slight smile, “Han Chen, I have a flight tonight to return to Beijing.  I’ve already agreed to dad’s request and will marry the department head’s son.  He has had a crush on me for a long time.  From now on, you don’t need to worry about me bothering you anymore.” Read more

Chapter 78: The Second Person Part 2

Jin Xi opens the box.

It indeed contains her lump of black necklace.  It’s just that the pendant has been cut into five pieces.  Although the outside is black, it’s silver white inside.  There’s an analysis report under the box.

Xiao Zhuan picks up the report and starts reading, “Composition: platinum.  Due to heavy impacts and reaction with other chemical materials, its color has changed and morphed into a different shape……”

Jin Xi fiddles with the five pieces and takes a closer look at them in the light.  She can make out a few blurry marks.

“S……hea……my……” she murmurs.

Xiao Zhuan continues to read, “After analysis, the characters engraved on the inside of the platinum are……”

“s;hmyheart,” Jin Xi says it out before he does.

She lowers her head while grasping the pieces in her hand.

s;hmyheart.

h;sforeverlove.

Su Mian and Han Chen; my true heart.

Han Chen and Su Mian; forever in love. Read more

Chapter 77: The Second Person Part 1

Su Mian.

Su Mian.

My……Su Mian.

A low male voice resonates in her head.  Her eyes are closed as she scrunches her eyebrows.

Who is he calling for?  Who is Su Mian?

Who is…she?

……

In the confusing dream, the feeling of pain and suffocation comes back again.  But this time, the images that she sees are clearer than before.

She sees a blazing fire blocking everything in view;

She sees the airwaves from the explosion reaching her as if it could swallow the whole pacific ocean;

The earth is collapsing, and her soul is screaming in despair……

And then, she sees Han Chen. Read more

Chapter 76: Giving Up Love for the Rest of Life Part 4

That night when Situ Yi was detained by the police, Shao Lun was walking around the station.  He was hoping that Situ Yi would be charged.  But he was afraid of being exposed at the same time.

And two days later, when he saw Situ Yi released without a single wound, only calmness was left in his heart again; a calm sense of anger.  He knew this would be the outcome, didn’t he?  It’s okay, he had already prepared a big present for Situ Yi!

It’s just that when we woke up after being drunk that night, he discovered that the woman was still tied to the chair without a single wound.  She looked at him full of fright.

He lifted up his wine bottle and gulped down a mouthful again.

And then he started to pick one out of the torture instruments hanging on the walls around him.  He had observed every wound on each of the dead bodies many times before.  They had been engraved deeply in his mind.  He closed his eyes.  The wooden bat and the sharp knife hit and stabbed the woman’s body……until she was dead.

Chapter 75: Giving Up Love for the Rest of Life Part 3

Shao Lun’s interrogation officially begins at 8am.

Han Chen and Chatterbox are the ones interrogating him while Xu Nan Bai, as the criminal psychologist, participates as a listener.

“We have already gathered a vast amount of evidence of your crime.  Do you admit to kidnapping, hurting, and torturing Han Sha, Ye Xiang Qing, Zhou Si Jin, and Zhao Hao Hao?” Chatterbox asks.

The last time they inquired about it, Shao Lun was untalkative and was a bit sentimental.  But now he looks as if all energy has been sucked out of his body as he slouches in his chair with his head down and not moving.

“I did it,” he says softly.

“Why did you do it?” Chatterbox asks with a stern voice.

He lifts his head.  His fair white face is red and his eyes are filled with hatred, “The police are useless!  No one believed that Situ Yi was the killer!  I did it to let the world see his true nature!” Read more

Chapter 74: Giving Up Love for the Rest of Life Part 2

In the boundless night, the road is dark with not a single street lamp.  Jin Xi leans back on her seat for a while before saying in a raspy voice, “Could it be someone related to the case in the past?”

Han Chen keeps quiet for a moment and then answers, “I will find the person.”

Jin Xi turns her head to look at him.

He has a ruthless expression on his face.

His back is against the chair.  There’s a bit of dirt on his jacket and his shirt collar is slightly open.  He has only one hand on the wheel with his eyes looking ahead.

Jin Xi’s heart feels a pinch of pain for a second.

It’s been a long time since she has seen him like this.  The last time he has been this way must have been when they first met in Jiangcheng; when he was still searching endlessly for her.  That was the only time when he was like this. Read more

Chapter 73: Giving Up Love for the Rest of Life Part 1

Amid the haziness, Bai Jin Xi feels that person’s hand on her neck loosen suddenly.  Her body loses support and falls to the ground in an instant.  Like a patient with asthma, she gasps for air.

It’s still and quiet behind her again.

Her throat is burning.  It hurts so much that she can’t feel anything.  Her consciousness is still a bit blurry.  Jin Xi struggles to get up immediately and turns around.  With her body swaying, all she sees is the empty basement and the staircase.  Not a glimpse of that person can be found.

She holds her neck with one hand and stumbles her way up the stairs to leave the place.  The sky is already very dark.  There’s nobody in the house either.  At a distance, she can see a group of investigators exploring the backyard area.  The moment she steps into the yard, the bright white searchlight on top of a police car stings her eyes.  She raises her arm to block her eyes and limps towards Han Chen.

Chapter 72: Killing by Imitation Part 3

At a farmhouse less than 2 km away from Situ Yi’s mansion.

Jin Xi has her gloves and shoe covers on standing outside of the house and looking afar.  All she sees are mountain tops over the short fence around the backyard.  There’s a long and narrow path outside of the gate where tall weeds and trees grow.  It’s about a hundred meters from the next farmhouse.

It is completely suitable for carrying out the crimes of the case.

The local police team has already sealed off this farmhouse, attracting many onlookers.  This area is responsible by the Black Shield Team.  Therefore, there isn’t a lot of people in the backyard.  Besides the Black Shield Team, only the three investigators brought along by Qin Wen Long, two forensic officers, Xu Si Bai, Xiao Yao and Xu Nan Bai are here.

“When we arrived, the house was empty and he has never been back before,” Cold Face comes over to say, “We’ve already requested for an arrest order to go hunt Shao Lun down at his workplace and/or places that he frequents.” Read more
