*Bai Li* I heard the loud smashing and thrashing and breaking of the car. I could sense how badly they must be destroying it. Damn, there, we lost our ride! The wind carried the faint smell of petrol up my nostrils that said the gas was leaking out from the car, and it was now really out of order. On top of that, we were stuck with the younger sister. And she was reckless. I said that with utter surety seeing how she jumped in to investigate Liao Chuntao's case without having the faintest idea of the…

--- Dongcheng. On Rodey's imminent threat, Rong Zhengsheng took him to the address. He asked, "Why do you want to frame Fu Ting for the crime?" Rodey laughed. "Nice try, but you will get nothing out of me." Rong Zhengsheng narrowed his eyes. "You are going to kill me, I know it. You will take Xin Nianzu. But I would be of no use to you anymore, so I am better off dead, that is you think. At least let me know before I die." Rodey's gun was still touching the back of his waist. "Well, you got that…

*Xin Lei* I was utterly shocked when the woman waved that knife at me out of nowhere. What happened? A thief? Like seriously, now of all times!? She squinted her gaze. "Don't move, or I will hurt you." I didn't move an inch. "Grrr... " "Cocoa, stay," Bai Li instructed him, and Cocoa obediently listened to him. But I sensed Bai Li stiffen a bit. I could see that his breathing was a little ragged and unsteady with the way his chest was heaving up and down. He was roughly glancing down at our…

*Xin Lei*, --- We came out of the camp, where we met Sergeant Qian. He saluted at Bai Li. "I am glad that the negotiation went well with the General. I wasn't really expecting him to compromise." Bai Li shrugged. "We are not completely out of the loop yet, but it's a great start." Sergeant Qian handed my phone back. Ah, finally, my phone! "Where will you be heading to, Major?" "First, we have a little work at Andingzhen, and then we are off to Langfang and that too quickly. Somebody is already…

--- Outside the hotpot restaurant, near the parking lot, Tian Song dialed a number. "The General came at the last moment and took them away." "Why both of them?" "Bai Li insisted on staying together with her. He wasn't ready to send her to me. General Song had no issues, and he 'politely' said to me not to have any issues either." There was a long stretch of silence. "How didn't you know about General Song coming to arrest them?" Tian Song was expressionless. "He discussed it with Duan Deming. They…

*Xin Lei* I felt sweat trickle down my forehead. Chu Jie…He was that teenage boy!? Cocoa was nudging his head against my thigh. Bai Li asked, "What happened? I sense Cocoa is restless." I shook his arm hard. "What?" Bai Li also looked alert. Damn, how will I tell him! My phone is not with me! I felt I would go crazy. I saw that boy twice! We could have saved him! "Xin Lei?" I let out a deep breath. Okay, this is not the time to panic. How should I tell this to Bai Li? I don't have my phone.…

*Xin Lei* I felt the phone vibrate in my hand. But how could I pick up Lin Zihao's call in front of General Song? General Song said, "Let's go Bai Li and Xin Lei." He looked at Tian Song and said, "It was nice to meet you, Officer Tian Song. I apologize that we couldn't relay the message in time." Nobody could understand what Tian Song's inscrutable gaze meant. The call kept ringing and it finally stopped after a few rings. Two sergeants took position behind us. They led us towards a similar jeep…

*Xin Lei* Bai Li smiled. "What do I say, General Song? Guess troubles have unrequited feelings for me, so it doesn't seem to want to leave my side." I twitched my eyebrow: he and his sarcasm. "Arf! Arf! Arf!" Cocoa was barking more than usual. He was restlessly shifting from side to side. "Arf!" "Cocoa." Bai Li said his name, and he patiently stood at place. General Song said, "I see Cocoa still doesn't like me very much." He looked at Bai Li, "I guess the discharge would have changed your…

--- Rodey was pacing back and forth in the base. He got a call from Neal a while ago that everything was going on as planned with Chu Jie. That was good news. But everything was not going well in regards to catching Xin Nianzu. Rodey knew that he had no money. And he would need it to buy even a loaf of bread or a single shirt. So, he was keeping an eye on whether he was withdrawing any money from his or Xin Lei's bank account. Their accounts were tapped. But it was negative. No transactions. He knew…

*Xin Lei* It was just like how Lin Zihao told us. A car had stopped in front of Liao Chuntao. Bai Li asked, "Oh? A car?" "Yes. There was a man, I think. But I didn't get a nice feeling. The windows of the car were tinted in black. And you know that isn't allowed anymore. They should be transparent." I typed. "I guess he would have come out and apologized to her for making her wait." "No. He didn't come out of his car at all." Bai Li said, "He didn't? That is so rude." "Isn't it? I thought the same!…
