Chapter 559: Optimistic?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Their opinions and views on many things were frequently the sa.
When the police busted the hideout at the cent factory, Operation Heaven’s Wrath was basically rendered useless.
An Ying could be very desperate and might really do sothing drastic. There was a high possibility that he might bring forward the plans, even though he couldn’t achieve his intended goal.
Especially so that even though the police got hold of their na list, they wouldn’t be able to contact each and every mber on the list in such a short period of ti.
Thus, there would be a period of ti that they could catch the police unawares.
Huff!
Such a possibility was too high!
She got to help Bai Muchuan out.
The more Xiang Wan thought about it, the more flustered she got. Her heart was pounding away like a freight train.
“Bai Muchuan, do you need ?”
“I do.” Bai Muchuan’s voice had a smiling tone.
“Where are you? I’ll co to you right now.”
“Aren’t you silly? I don’t need your help, at least not now.”
This was a fact. A fact that made Xiang Wan feel rather dejected.
“Fine then. Do keep yourself safe. I’ll wait for you to co back.”
Bai Muchuan smiled. “You have completed your work for the day. Do go ho and rest.”
“I’d be worried about you and wouldn’t be able to get the latest news if I went back. Bai Muchuan, is it alright for to wait for you at the Criminal Investigation Unit?”
She spoke softly with a slight pleading tone. When heard through the phone, it felt just like the tis when she muttered at his ear.
Bai Muchuan found it difficult to turn her down but he couldn’t bear to see her standing guard at the Criminal Investigation Unit during the festive season.
With that, he puffed a sigh. “Don’t you want to go back to check out your mom and your youngest aunt?”
He reminded her about the important thing that she should also be concerned about.
Xiang Wan had all of her attention on the case earlier. His words pulled her back to the issues in the family.
It should be quite chaotic at ho now?
“Alright, I better get back ho,” said Xiang Wan who couldn’t resist letting out a chuckle, “Sir Little Bai, you’re really good now. You even know how to make use of my shortcomings...”
“Shortcoming? No way, every part of you is long...”
“You’re the one who’s long!”
“Is that so? I think so too.”
“You! Bleh!...”
Xiang Wan was grinning and wanted to continue teasing him when he suddenly cald down.
“I need to get back to work now. Little Xiang Wan, do watch out for your safety when going back ho. Get Uncle Zhao to pick you up.”
“Mm... I will.”
And he hung up the phone.
Xiang Wan was a little reluctant to end the call. Only when the ‘dduu dduu’ sounds were gone, she held the phone back down.
...
That night was not destined to be a peaceful night.
When Xiang Wan got ho, everyone in the family was seated in the living room.
And the living room was brightly lit.
The Tan sisters, Fang Yuanyuan and eldest uncle-in-law were keeping youngest aunt company and were talking to her.
Both Xing Yuanhang and Xing Feifei were taken away by the police. They didn’t know what was happening, neither were the relatives. Rumors started to circulate around and there would be relatives calling on and off to show their ‘concern’, trying to find out more. They couldn’t do anything about the situation but to wait anxiously to see what would happen.
Xiang Wan’s appearance was no doubt, similar to their ray of hope.
“Little Wan.” Youngest aunt was the first to stand up from the sofa. “How’s Feifei?”
Xiang Wan looked at the weariness on her face then glanced at her worried mom and sighed quietly inside her head.
Even though she didn’t like Xing Feifei, being relatives with her and youngest aunt ant that she could never cut off relations with the forr.
“She’s just being willful as usual. She did sothing not so nice to Zhou Yun.” Xiang Wan ran her fingers through her hair and changed her shoes without maintaining eye contact with her youngest aunt, as well as the rest of them.
“What happened? What did she do to Zhou Yun?”
The ntion of Zhou Yun made her youngest aunt looked stiff and brooding.
As this matter involved her daughter, her emotions were clearly more agitated than when she was in the hospital.
Xiang Wan walked over to her, looking at her youngest aunt seriously than glanced at her mom before talking in an apologetic tone. “The police has rules that before a case is closed, all matters relating to the case cannot be revealed...”
With regards to this matter, it was better that they didn’t know much about what was happening.
Xiang Wan’s mom took a look at her before holding her youngest sister’s arm. “It’s true that the rules are really strict. In the past whenever I asked her about her work, she wouldn’t tell much. Just be rest assured, Feifei will be alright... What can a kid like her do? Don’t worry.”
Her mom’s consolation didn’t help.
Tan Yuechun’s level of intelligence did not get compromised just because she suffered an emotional blow.
“If it’s not serious, the detectives wouldn’t be involved, much less to involve Little Bai and his team...”
She said that calmly, and her gaze moved to Xiang Wan again, seemingly trying to read sothing out from her expression.
However, she failed to get anything.
“Little Wan,” said Tan Yuechun, “you don’t have to tell what is the case about. Just tell , is what she did serious?”
“Well...” Xiang Wan was a little at a loss of what to do.
It was not that she didn’t want to tell youngest aunt. It was simply because she didn’t know as well.
Just by solely on the matter of letting Zhou Yun consu the drug, as her life was not in danger, her cri was not considered too serious. However, as this matter was also related to the Dark Clan, as well as Operation Heaven’s Wrath, it was hard for Xiang Wan to tell the seriousness of Feifei’s cri...
“Youngest aunt.” Xiang Wan held her hands and helped her to sit back down. “I promise you that the mont I got hold of such news, I’d let you know right away. I can only tell you that, what Feifei has done... is sothing that is beyond my level of authority. I’m unable to give you an answer.”
Tan Yuechun’s face turned colorless at her reply.
She seed to understand sothing. She didn’t continue to make things difficult for Xiang Wan but sat down on the sofa.
“Xing Yuanhang, it’s all because of him!”
Xiang Wan felt her heart being clasped.
Tan Yuechun did not ask about Xing Yuanhang at all.
After parting their ways at the hospital, she had completely excluded Xing Yuanhang from her life.
The few of them started to persuade and console her again.
Tan Yuechun, however, was actually more open-minded than them.
“I’m alright. Life is like that, full of ups and downs. Until the day I die, no one would be able to tell what would happen... When things crop up and we couldn’t avoid it, just face it.”
“Aye!” Most of them couldn’t help letting out a sigh at her remark.
Xiang Wan chatted with them for a while then went up to her bedroom, get changed and turned on her laptop.
In order to overco the anxiety of waiting, she played with her mobile phone for a while before opening a docunt to prepare for writing a more detailed plot outline and arrangent of her story...
Before writing, she took a look at her previous chapters to reconnect her thoughts, then she checked out her reviews and comnts page.
Her reviews and comnts page were full of the festive atmosphere.
Her readers were wishing her as well as each other, “Happy New Year”. Most of the content was about the sa.
However, when Xiang Wan went on to the second page, she caught an especially eye-catching comnt.
That was an account that Xiang Wan had never seen before.
That comnt read: “Just how optimistic is Rong Xiaonuan? After all these cases she wrote, why did it never occur to her that she might very well be related to these cases? She’s so laughable! What a fool she must be to keep thinking of herself as an outsider?”
Xiang Wan felt a tug in her heart.
That reader had comnted about her female protagonist, Rong Xiaonuan, in her novel.
Nevertheless, Xiang Wan had a feeling that...
That reader seed to be hinting at her.
But in those cases that happened, other than her novel, what else could she be related to?
Xiang Wan looked at her laptop screen with her hands propping her chin.
After ruminating over for a while, she suddenly opened the file which was a chart that she did for the characters and their relations with each other for all of the cases—
