Chapter 142: Two Worlds Part 1

Five minutes later.

At the public security bureau office building, the lights are brighter than usual and it’s abnormally quiet.

Qin Wen Long and Zhou Xiao Zhuan are sitting across from each other exchanging gazes.

Qin Wen Long inhales from his cigarette deeply with his face looking pale, “What did you say?  They’re holding everybody at the square as hostages?”

Xiao Zhuan nods and holds the tablet in front of him.  It’s a video filmed by an officer at the scene, but in reality, these clips are available all over the internet.

“A said: explosives have been set up on all the roads that lead to the bridge.  Whoever wants to die can try to escape,” Xiao Zhuan explains helplessly, “Therefore, everybody at the scene is scared to death.  They are all listening to his instructions.” Read more

Chapter 141: The Hazy Morning Part 4

Ding Jun thinks for a minute and asks, “If we disperse the crowd and call the swat team over, what if the criminals escape?  Wouldn’t we be putting in all this big effort for nothing?”

“No.” “No.”  Both Su Mian and Han Chen say at the same time.

Su Mian looks up at the splendid hotel building.  The countless windows are like many pairs of eyes overlooking the crowd on the ground; cold and merciless. Read more

Chapter 140: The Hazy Morning Part 3

Xu Si Bai is leaning over to the side of the car window.  The sound insulation is very good. The scenery outside is quiet yet bustling.  A few of the criminal investigators are discussing something inside of the car, but it’s nothing to do with him, so he’s not really listening.

Every now and then whenever he lifts his head, he sees the police car from not far away with the two of them like a painting; both beautiful and standing closely.

Xu Si Bai doesn’t really want to look at them.  But they seem to appear in this field of view all the time. Read more

Chapter 139: The Hazy Morning Part 2

Not only Han Chen and Su Mian are here, but Xu Si Bai is here today as well.  According to the orders from head office, if anything out of the ordinary happens, every related personnel will be on standby for 24 hours.  Therefore, although there haven’t been any reports of anyone being hurt, the Forensic Investigator has come by car as well.

But right now, he and a couple of officers are staying in the command vehicle.  He greets Han Chen and Su Mian from afar only. Han Chen, as usual, treats him like any other colleague; he doesn’t show friendliness or dislike toward him and simply stays away and unapproachable.  Su Mian doesn’t take the initiative to go and chat with Xu Si Bai either.

She doesn’t know what to say to him. Read more

Chapter 138: The Hazy Morning Part 1

It’s a bright sunny winter morning.

The fog above the river has not dissipated yet.  The commercial area along the river is already very lively.

Xiao Ya is standing in a room at the Peninsula Century Hotel and is cleaning the windows.  It’s winter and the cold water is making her hands turn red. She sighs faintly as she looks out the window at the incomparable flourishing streetscape.

She sure wants to go shopping.  But she still has a full day of work to do.  She must work hard the fact that she is hired as a service representative at this superb five-star hotel and is being paid well. Read more

Chapter 137: My Fear

Su Mian is indeed a person who has never been afraid of anything.

She’s not afraid of how ruthless her opponent is, and she’s not afraid of danger or getting hurt.  Even with A, L, and R being this cruel, it only further excites her stubbornness and passion.  Being afraid of them? That’s impossible!

But, when S’s profile appears in her heart, a certain feeling of familiarity as if it’s something that has been asleep inside her body for a long time, suddenly invades her heart.

That feeling is fear. Read more

Chapter 136: S’s Profile Part 2

He wants to draw a profile as well?

Su Mian finds a chair and sits down, staring at Han Chen.  The others are also staring at him with excitement. Han Chen isn’t as serious as Su Mian, the criminal psychologist; she stands, holds her chest high, and writes on the whiteboard during her summary.  He lowers his eyes humming for a split second before turning his chair to face everyone.

“Remember the incidents that T planned?” he asks.

Everybody is stunned slightly. Read more

Chapter 135: S’s Profile Part 1

The sky at the start of winter is always gray.  The birds chirp as they fly across the windows, contrasting the quietness of the building.

Su Mian is standing in front of the round table.  She’s still as pretty as always, but her hair is like a bird’s nest after being ruffled by her all morning.  There’s also a ballpoint pen stuck in her hair——it’s being used as a hairpin.

The Black Shield Team is sitting at the table.  Han Chen is the closest to her. He has his legs crossed, his elbow on the armrest while looking at her; it’s not unusual.  The untidiness doesn’t seem to bother her. She strokes her hair out of habit and turns around to look at everyone. Her movements carry her beautiful aura as always.  All of the guys smile; Han Chen smiles as well. Read more

Chapter 134: A New Sign

One week later.

It’s winter already.  The sky is gray and the trees are bare.  Everywhere on the streets is filled with people wearing thick clothes and walking hurriedly.

Su Mian is wearing a red down coat along with a pair of long boots.  Her black hair rests on her shoulders. With her standing there like this, it makes her seem even more pretty and captivating.  And behind her stands three even more attractive men: Han Chen, Cold Face, and Chatterbox.

Han Chen and Cold Face have always been the jacket wearers within the police team; even on a super cold day, at most, they’ll wear a thicker cotton jacket.  It’s just that they have nice bodies and know what to wear, so they always look more handsome and fashionable than the other criminal investigators. Chatterbox has been influenced by them and no longer wears his big cotton-padded jacket like Zhou Xiao Zhuan does.  He has started to wear casual style jackets that are filled with manliness. Therefore, with these three standing together, they sure attract a lot of attention. Read more

Chapter 133: I Want to Kill Part 2

He continues smoking until the whole apartment is filled with enough smoke to choke others.  He’s not someone who smokes often nonetheless; he coughs non-stop as he throws the cigarette butts into the trash.  But he falls into a daze again by himself.

A thought inexplicably springs into his mind——they are just a couple tens of meters away in an apartment hugging each other intimately.

This thought stings his heart as always.  He’s not someone who thinks too much or lets his imagination run wild.  But right now, after today, a certain kind of stress and emotions that he has suppressed for a long time seem to be shouting to break free from control.

Probably because he’s too tired, Xu Si Bai doesn’t remember when he falls asleep.  And the dream he has tonight is clearer and more intense than all of the ones he has had before.  He dreams that Bai Jin Xi is leaning in his embrace, looking up at him and smiling. Read more
