Chapter 144: Two Worlds Part 3

The underground shopping center.

The crowd was scared and in panic before, but right now, they are all watching the big screen full of nervousness.

These criminals who are causing goosebumps to appear on their skins, what exactly do they want them to watch?

It’s unimaginable.

In the bright sunlight, the LCD screen displays dazzling colors.  The curtains in the image have been fully opened. And on the stage, there are actually six people sitting. Read more

Chapter 143: Two Worlds Part 2

In the stifling and suffocating darkness, Han Chen has been unconscious for only a short while.

The last image in his head was he and Su Mian falling down quickly and that he was protecting her in his embrace, using his back to shield her from the falling debris.

Men are strange creatures sometimes, especially when it’s someone like Han Chen, who’s usually unruly and likes to keep everything inside.  Even though he knew that doing that could cost him his life, hugging her made him felt at ease. And when they fell to the bottom, the tremendous impact finally made him lose his grip and let go of her.  But seeing that she should be okay, he felt relieved and became unconscious. Read more

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
