Holding tight to a tobacco pipe, the person behind Meng Chengjun was no less surprised. He tore through the crowd, stepped forward, and looked at Xu Lan with mixed feelings.

“You’re acquainted?” Meng Chengjun asked with a smile as a hint of awkwardness flashed through his face.

“We’ve worked together before,” Hu Cheng spoke before Xu Lan could.

Hu Cheng had a moment of selfishness and betrayed Xu Lan. Even though Sun Fei did not bring the subject up with the others, Hu Cheng knew that Sun Fei distanced himself after all that happened. Ever since Li Xiu was captured, Hu Cheng never saw Xu Lan again, and it made him resent not being able to clarify things to Xu Lan. He blamed himself incessantly whenever he thought about it. He never would have imagined that he would see Xu Lan again someday, and at that moment, his emotions were getting the better of himself.

“... Who would’ve thought that the new Chief is an old friend, haha, what fate. Mm, I came here looking for someone. Both of you take it slow, I’ll excuse myself. Chief Hu, we’ll chat another time,” Xu Lan said forthrightly. He put on a fake smile and patted Hu Cheng on the shoulder.

“Xu Lan...” Hu Cheng showed his yellowed teeth beginning to call out to Xu Lan but he immediately changed his mind, ashamed to do so.

At that point, Xu Lan became extremely worried. If Liang Yu and Qin Lao’s presence were to be regarded as a mere coincidence, then Hu Cheng’s appearance would effectively destroy the delusion that Xu Lan was fooling himself and the others.

“Bai Wu, this... Why did such a thing happen?” Xu Lan dragged Bai Wu into the washroom on the same floor and asked anxiously.

“... I don’t know either. Up till today, I’ve never experienced anything like this.” Bai Wu thought for a moment and replied with a frown.

Xu Lan gave Bai Wu a solemn look. He did not know what to do. In the end, they were brought back to the office because Wang Meng went to the toilet and noticed the both of them.

Things got awkward from then on. Xu Lan pushed open the door and saw three men, all seated with straightened postures. There was no reaction from Xiao Feng, but when Qin Lao and Liang Yu saw who was entering, the both of them immediately stood up.

Qin Lao propped himself on his walking stick and hurried unsteadily toward Xu Lan. Xu Lan was worried for Qin Lao’s hobbling, fearing that a slight misstep might cause him to fall.

“You! You. I didn’t believe it when Liang Yu told me. You’re still alive?” Qin Lao had seen Xu Lan disappear before his own eyes. A perusal of the pertinent information revealed that a wormhole was the only possible explanation, and after all that, Xu Lan and Bai Wu were still alive and standing right in front of him – in the flesh.

Qin Lao stretched his aged, trembling hand out and tried to touch Xu Lan. So far, there was no information on whether humans could or could not utilize a wormhole to pass through space and time. Scanter still was information on whether humans could even survive the ordeal.

“What are you doing?” Annoyed, Bai Wu smacked away Qin Lao’s trembling hand and slotted himself in between Qin Lao and Xu Lan. He then gave Qin Lao a distrustful look.

“You’re that dra... You’re Bai Wu? Ah, Bai Wu.” Realizing his slip of the tongue, Qin Lao promptly corrected his sentence. He murmured while both his hands grasped his walking stick firmly.

“Er, hehe, Qin Lao, you’re here too? Well, since you’re all busy and I have no business here, I’ll excuse myself.” Xu Lan took one look at Bai Wu and hurriedly pulled him out of the room.

“Stay right where you are!” Noticing that Xu Lan was leaving, Liang Yu shouted abruptly, “You told me yesterday that you couldn’t find Bai Wu, and yet the both of you are here today?”

“According to what you’ve said, it’s only normal that we’re both here together,” Bai Wu replied with a cold chuckle.

“Hmph. You were in such a hurry to get rid of me yesterday. I was wondering how much you love your wife. Is she really okay with you having such a grown-up son?” Liang Yu blurted.
