*Bai Li* I felt an urgent need to hug Xin Lei, but it was better to stop myself rather than turning my cheek red with her palm print. I snorted. "You are knee-deep in your own problems." I heard her tapping quickly. "So are you, but you are still helping me, right? Then I can too." She was learning to give good comebacks. I shrugged. "Your father and brother would kill me if something happens to their baby daughter/sister." "They won't. They both work for justice, so they understand the meaning of…

*Bai Li*, --- It was a sumptuous meal; I had to admit. And it tasted even more delicious buying it with the stolen money of those goons. My troubled, hungry stomach was finally at peace. I heard Cocoa also grunt in satisfaction. I wiped my mouth and asked Xin Lei, "How are we going to find Rong Zhengsheng?" I heard the familiar tapping sound. "I have dropped him a message. He said to meet in Micro Pub in Dongsi 10th Alley. He has also said to be cautious." Then I got a jarring question in my mind as I…

*Xin Lei*, --- I had no words to say to Bai Li. The hotel wasn't big and tall. There were some cardboard boxes down at the backside of the hotel. Cocoa jumped on them, then to the small balcony of the room below us and then inside our room through the window, with absolute silence and finesse. I typed and hit the speaker button. "If the owner catches Cocoa, we will be in trouble." Bai Li glanced at my side. "Are you going to tell him?" I typed. "No." "Neither will I. So, we are good." Then I typed.…

--- Inside Xin Nianzu's office, Rodey was looking at the two dead bodies of Fan and Fa, who the chubby man Gen Gen had ordered to finish off Xin Lei. Fan was hit at the back of his neck, but it didn't seem like the force of any blunt object. It was purely physical. Fa's throat was clawed out. It was most probably an animal, a dog. Their guns and cash were taken away. But the credit cards were still there. Smart. No cards, no tracing. Only one man appeared in his mind who was capable of this. Gen Gen…

*Xin Lei* I thought about it and nodded. Fu Jun's reactions and expressions said that he was scared of something. But Bai Li couldn't see them. "How do you know?" I typed. "Fu Jun's hands. Whenever I asked something that he was nervous about, he would mildly clench his hands in mine. If he was comfortable, then I felt him relax, but if I tried to pry further, his hands trembled. He was fine when he said where they visited, but about when they got separated, or the last time he saw Fu Meili, he wasn't…

*Xin Lei* I was dumbfounded. Seriously, there was no love in his tone. Jun was only six years old. "Answer some questions, and you can play with Cocoa." Bai Li said. "Arf!" Cocoa agreed. I twitched my brow. A bribe. But it seemed to work. Jun got out of Fu Biyu's embrace and went near Bai Li. Bai Li felt the boy's presence and held his hands in his. Fu Biyu looked at me doubtfully. I nodded, and she understood. Bai Li asked, "Were you in your sister's group with her?" Fu Jun looked here and…

*Xin Lei*, --- I was a doctor in three specializations, so it wasn't difficult to tell that the men were dead, even without taking a pulse. Witness to a felony. And now I was stealing. I, who am a reputed doctor, the daughter of a lawyer, and a sister of a brother working in the Intelligence Service, was stealing cash. Another felony. But now I was a part of it. We were not rich, but at least considerably well off, financially. I never thought that a day like this would befall upon me. I typed. "This…

*Bai Li* I sensed the anxiety in Xin Lei's voice. I said, "We don't have the time to fix that. We have to rely on papers or notes or scribblings to tell us which case he was working on recently. This blind man cannot be of much help in looking for it, so you have to search thoroughly without leaving anything. Talk to me through everything." I rubbed Cocoa's head and said, "Go." Xin Lei messaged, "Got it." I sensed Cocoa and Xin Lei looking through the room with the sound of rustling and shuffling of…

*Xin Lei* "It's a cipher." Bai Li said. I typed. "Yes. Brother Zhen and I used to play a lot using secret messages during childhood. He always loved to give me puzzles." "Right. Since he knows that, he would relatively give a simpler message for you to decode since he has already disappeared, and he has yet to warn you about the danger. There is no time. At the same time, it should also be difficult to crack the code if the letter falls in another's hands, or it should at least look useless at a glance,…

*Xin Lei* I fell as a big ball of fur landed on me and knocked me off balance. It looked at me with its big black eyes. They felt so warm and affectionate. It licked me on my cheek, and I laughed as it tickled me. I picked up the phone I dropped when I fell. I typed and pressed the speaker button. "So, this is cocoa?" I asked as I looked at the German Shepherd dog in front of me, rubbing its head on my cheek and furiously wagging his tail. "Yes. The dog with some shitty principles." The man…
