*Xin Lei*, --- Uncle Rong asked, "Who is Chu Jie?" The way it was highlighted only meant one thing. I typed. "After Liao Chuntao, maybe he is the next target. But what do they do with them?" Everybody was silent. Then I remembered. I typed. "Uncle Rong, have you heard of the FriendsChat forum?" "If you young lads don't know about it, then how would we old men do?" It wasn't Uncle Rong who spoke. It was Guard Wu. "Nice to meet you all again." I smiled and nodded. Bai Li also recognized his voice…

--- "Jie! Come down for breakfast!" Chu Jie's mother, Chu Xi, called him from the kitchen downstairs. But as usual, Chu Jie didn't give any answer. Chu Xi sighed. She was tired of her son, who only liked to lock himself in the room. Chu Xi removed her apron and climbed up the stairs. She opened the door to Chu Jie's room, and there he was, sitting on his desk with his eyes and ears only focussing on the laptop. Chu Xi walked towards him and looked at the laptop. She suddenly stepped back in horror. It…

*Xin Lei* I widened my eyes in utter shock. Fu Jun was sobbing in my embrace. I patted his back to calm him down. Cocoa was also helping me. Bai Li asked, "Wait a minute. Is he talking about Liao Chuntao's photos?" I typed. "Yes, he is." Uncle Rong said, "Isn't she the woman who was found dead in LangFang? That was the case you were talking with your army friends." Not in my wildest dream had I imagined that Fu Meili and Liao Chuntao's cases were connected. For the first time, I saw that Bai Li was…

*Xin Lei* I widened my eyes in shock. What could have Fu Meili and Fu Jun seen so horrible? Bai Li asked, "In Natural Park?" Uncle Rong sighed. "Well, he thinks it is Natural Park. They ended up somewhere in a desolate place, but he cannot be sure whether they were still inside the park or not. I have asked Fu Biyu to come here with her son. I saw your sketches being circulated, so in a hurry, I left and couldn't ask in detail." Then I saw someone opening the door. Bai Li and I got alert. But it was…

*Xin Lei* Bai Li and I closely ran together behind the alley, hand in hand. Cocoa was at his side, guiding him. I tugged him and we took a right turn, which opened into a road, having a series of small local shops. I was starting to feel a little breathless. We stopped, and I typed. "Can we stop for some water?" "Okay. But be quick," Bai Li said. We went into a general store, and I asked for a bottle of water. I fed some of it to Cocoa first. Bai Li shook his head when I offered him. Then as I turned…

*Xin Lei* 'Dad…' I looked at the empty chair, dumbfounded. Dad was supposed to be here, but now he wasn't. All my hopes crashed. Bai Li said, "What happened?" "What!? Where is he? Where did he go?" Gen Gen was just as aghast. I jerked my head towards him, shocked. Bai Li narrowed his gaze. "If this is all a trap then I tell you-" "No! He was here. We had kept him here! He escaped!" He looked at his minion. "Weren't you keeping an eye on him!? Then where did he go!?" I saw the man sweating…

*Xin Lei* The woman standing before me was shocked. Her hands were up in the air, and she didn't look like she had a gun with her. "B-boss…" She stuttered. Bai Li pointed his gun at her. "Third floor!" She blurted out. "How many men are on the next floor?" "T-three." "And where is your boss?" "Three again." "You are not lying, right?" "No!" "Good. Because if we find that it is 3+1 or 3+2 or 3+n then I will ruin your maths forever." I coughed. "Is Xin Nianzu here?" "...Yes." Dad! I will…

*Bai Li* We were now in Xiachen district, 8th Alley, where that minion had pointed as the base of Gen Gen. We took a long cut to that alley so that we didn't alert his men. Xin Lei said that it was a hardware shop on the outside. It wasn't uncommon for bases to look like proper shops on the outside. The inside was a whole different story. I said, "How big is the shop?" I heard the tapping sound of her typing. "Three floors. There are two men stationed outside." I nodded. "Another two to three men will…

*Xin Lei* We entered the Ditan Park through the North Gate. It was a long time back when I had visited it with Dad and big brother. I think I was seven at that time. Ditan Park is the second-largest altar and once served as a site to worship Gods in ancient China. There is a famous Gingko path or Gingko Passage lined with tall Gingko trees, which is even more beautiful when it's the autumn season. The leaves are a shade of brilliant golden color. Walking through the passage at that time feels magical as…

--- Tian Song was in the other car, giving orders to the officers. "Search over there. You go straight and check." "Yes, sir!" He was now alone in the car. He dialed a number. "They have escaped. We are on their trail." There was silence for a beat. "How?" "I was planning to take them with me on the pretext of interrogation, but in just a fraction of a second, they were already running towards me. Bai Li pushed me aside. I think they were just waiting for the moment for the door to open, and they…
