Bang!

Bang !

The bullet shot through the gla.s.s door, leaving a reverberating sound.

The fake Xuan Yue had never thought that Xiang Wan was just pretending to walk towards the door. The moment she lifted the gun, Xiang Wan immediately fell backwards and supported herself with her hands. She crouched quickly and approached the counter…

Xiang Wan was smart.

The fake Xuan Yue realized that she was wrong to have acted rashly.

But she had no chance to rectify her error.

Almost at the same time she raised her gun, blood suddenly splattered at the back of the counter. The moment the little girl turned her head, everything was splashed onto the little girl’s face…

The little girl was stunned for a moment before she wailed loudly in fear.

Xiang Wan saw that and quickly carried the little girl down from the counter where she fell on the ground. Next, she held and protected the little girl…

Bam!

The gla.s.s door was kicked open at this moment.

A figure appeared before Xiang Wan!

The figure was as fast as a lightning that went past her, heading directly to the counter and took Xuan Yue’s gun.

The fake Xuan Yue’s eyes were wide-opened as she looked at the man before her in despair.

Her eyes were also filled with regret and indignance.

Thud! She fell to the floor.

Xiang Wan’s pulse no longer drummed inside her ears. She was finally relieved.

After regaining herself from the soul-stirring tension, she finally saw the figure clearly. The first person to dash inside the cafe was Bai Muchuan.

“You… why are you here?”

She had asked this as Bai Muchuan was about 10 meters away from the cafe and judging from the speed, it was not possible for him to reach the cafe in a second or two.

Bai Muchuan couldn’t explain that to her yet. He was examining the fake Xuan Yue’s neck and shouted at the hordes of police officers who came inside the cafe. “Quick, call the doctor! It’s an emergency!”

The figures before her were moving about.

Xiang Wan held the little girl tightly.

The little girl was crying.

Her body was trembling uncontrollably.

She was trembling even more than earlier.

She couldn’t control it either, she just kept trembling.

Her two rows of teeth were chattering…

The little girl’s reaction then was the actual emotion she had been suppressing for a long time.

The little girl was soon picked up by another policewoman and then held in her mother’s arms where the mother couldn’t stop thanking Xiang Wan. Not long after, the fake Xuan Yue was lifted onto the ambulance and sent to the hospital. Xiang Wan was actually feeling distracted, she felt that the earlier incident felt like a dream.

She had saved lives and also herself.

That was the most important thing.

After Bai Muchuan settled all matters at the scene, Xiang Wan was still in a daze. She stood frozen at a spot, with her long coat draped over her shoulder, looking as if her soul had wandered away. Bai Muchuan felt painful to see her looking like that. He puffed a sigh and embraced her tightly, ignoring the fact that many officers were still at the scene…

“Xiang Wan, you scared me to death!”

“You also scared me to death!” Xiang Wan buried her head on his chest. “Where are you hiding? Why didn’t I notice you?”

Bai Muchuan chuckled, then adjusted her clothing and even put on her m.u.f.fler for her. After that, he held her hand and got out of the cafe where he pointed at the signboard outside. “I slid down from the second floor and hid right above the sign.”

Oh my!

Xiang Wan lifted her head for a look.

Slid down from the second floor and hide at that spot… That’s really dangerous! she thought.

“This is nothing! Laowu’s earlier gunshot was the key that turned the tides!” Bai Muchuan was no longer feeling tense and worried. He took Xiang Wan’s waist and held her closely like a newly-acquired treasure, as though worried that she might fly away, he did not want to leave her side.

Xiang Wan leaned on him to keep warm. She also didn’t forget to compliment Quan Shaoteng.

“Captain Quan is really good. He has proved that he’s not boasting at all!”

“What boasting, that’s not nice at all!” Bai Muchuan patted her head and saw Xiang Wan stuck her tongue out for an instant. That playful look of hers made him want to crack up. “Laowu has been waiting to prove himself!” he laughed with a sigh.

Right!

He wanted to do away with the t.i.tle of “the most idle detective”.

Xiang Wan chuckled softly. “He has earned credit for himself, right?”

“If the fake Xuan Yue survives, he deserves another credit!”

What does that mean? thought Xiang Wan.

Xiang Wan looked at him with a puzzled expression. Bai Muchuan’s lips quirked up at the corners. “Laowu not only shot accurately, he also cleverly shot the fake Xuan Yue that she went into shock. The doctor has said that he detected vital signs in her. There’s a high possibility that she could survive this.”

“Huff!” Xiang Wan heaved a sigh of relief. “If that’s the case, that would be great news!”

They saved the hostages.

And the fake Xuan Yue would most likely stay alive.

Both of their missions might not be compromised after all.

Xiang Wan gave it a thought, and felt that the entire incident was really dangerous and thrilling.

“We finally caught a big fish this time!”

“This is not important…” Bai Muchuan sighed.

“Mm? Then what is important?” Xiang Wan gave a quizzical expression, her eyebrows were scrunched up together.

“Compared to the big fish, I’m more concerned about my ‘Wan’ in my family…”

“Your bowl ¹ ?” Xiang Wan was confused. “What are you talking about? Is it an imperial bowl pa.s.sed down by your family or something?”

Uh! Bai Muchuan used three seconds to react to her response and let out a cackle. “I’m not talking about bowls! Aren’t you silly? You’re the ‘bowl’ that I’m talking about… Hmm, as long as the bowl is good, I’ll have food to eat.”

… Pffft!

It was such a nervous and intense moment earlier…

The few minutes of suffering for Bai Muchuan was akin to experiencing purgatory… But at that moment when he laughed, all these feelings had vanished into thin air.

…

“Xiang Wan, you’re more courageous than I thought!”

He saw her walking towards the cafe.

He saw her entering the cafe and talked to Xuan Yue.

He saw her taking off her coat and m.u.f.fler…

He watched her negotiate calmly…

He watched her pointing at the counter and gestured…

Every frame was being filmed. For Quan Shaoteng, it was a wonderful and exciting playback…

For Bai Muchuan, he felt like his heart was being p.r.i.c.ked, painful and difficult to watch.

“D*rn! Little Bai, how did you get such a courageous girlfriend while a courageous man like me is still a bachelor?” Quan Shaoteng couldn’t stop marveling as he watched the playback.

Bai Muchuan let out a grunt, gave him a glare but didn’t answer.

“I got complimented again.” Xiang Wan smiled in joy. “I’m so happy! Although the way you give your compliment is unusual, I believe that Captain Quan will grab the bachelor flag tightly and will never fall! Go for it, Captain Quan!”

“…” Quan Shaoteng wanted to cuss, but the words got stuck in his throat.

This was because he felt a cold, chilly feeling above his head.

Bai Muchuan got up from his seat. “Wrap up now!”

Xiang Wan clung onto his arm with both of her hands joyously and made sure no one was close enough to hear them whisper. “Congratulations Sir Little Bai, you’ve gotten yourself a courageous girlfriend!”

“…”

“In order to celebrate this occasion, you’ll go back and update two chapters for me, alright?”

“Not alright.”

“…”

Bai Muchuan immediately felt a headache when he thought about updating his novel. He really didn’t feel like writing.

As for Xiang Wan, she really wanted to read. Her ‘obsessive-compulsive disorder’ was at work as her idol, as well as boyfriend, haven’t updated for quite a while already. In order to get more chapters to read, she had already paid the price with her body. Yet, he was trying to make excuses. “You didn’t want to write or you didn’t want… that?”

“I don’t feel like writing.” Bai Muchuan cleared his throat slightly. “So… let’s just continue to do it, let me owe the chapters for the time being. I’ll return them slowly, alright?”

“You’ve already owed me three chapters! Sir Little Bai, if you continue to owe the chapters, I don’t know what I will do…”

Bai Muchuan looked at the sky, his face filled with despair. “What was I thinking back then that I will agree to this unfair agreement? I must have been possessed, really.”

Xiang Wan let out a snort then showed a grin. “It’s possible to terminate this agreement! But the moment you terminate it, it will never be renewed.”

“Don’t, don’t, don’t! I’m willing!”

“Really?”

“Really, really. My life belongs to the country, my body belongs to you.”

“…” Xiang Wan found herself at a loss of words.

…
