“Alright, come in when both of you are done with your cheesy exchange of affectionate acts. I still need to get back.” Xu Lan said with hostility pushing open the door and seeing Wang Meng helping Xiao Feng light up his cigarette. He glanced at them from the corner of his eyes.

“Heck, you’re the one who sent us out of the room!” Wang Meng replied in confusion.

“It’s fine, just listen to what he has to say.” Xiao Feng ran his fingers through Wang Meng’s hair and hooked his arm around Wang Meng’s neck as they made their way into the office. He asked, “What did you find out?”

Xu Lan arranged the documents on the table. He circled the areas where he had questions about in red and gestured for them to take a look at the documents.

“Uh, these were sorted out by Lan Er and Xie San. I didn’t think that there were any issues with them. Is there something wrong?”

When they talked about work, Xu Lan and Xiao Feng were the types to get into their zone immediately, undisturbed by external distractions. After picking the file up, Xiao Feng toned down on his cheekiness and started reading with great concentration.

“Uhm, there are a few questions. I’ll ask you about them as you read through the files,” Xu Lan said as he was tapping his pen against the table.

Firstly, there was the hooligan who was arrested by mistake. Xu Lan was present when the incident took place. Due to their mistake, the perpetrator was alerted. Unfortunately, the administrator of the Sparrow Game was an independent entity and the terminal was called upon only when necessary. This was the reason why Xu Lan could not get to the core of it even after investing hundreds of thousands. The question arose—how did the suspect find out that the administrator had appeared and escaped shortly after?

The second issue concerned the woman who escaped from the mental asylum, Song Xi. Five years ago, Song Xi started making a name for herself in Whitehorse City and there were traceable historical records about her. If Song Xi existed with the help of some form of technology, it would suggest that another human life was involved—the real Song Xi. However, their research did not suggest anything as such. How could this be explained?

The last issue concerned the terminal appearing in Laos recently. If this game was directed at the Chengdu mining incident, everyone who was laid off has passed away. So, what exactly prompted the suspect to reactivate the game?

“Uhm, we’ve discussed on the first issue. The suspect has a strong counter-reconnaissance ability and was present when we were baiting him or her. Due to that, we’ve lost our best chance to capture the suspect. As for your second question, you’ve brought up our blindspot. I’ll have Xie San to look into it later. I have a feeling that there’s going to be another round of bloodshed in Whitehorse City...” Xiao Feng replied with a serious expression on his face.

“One last question, I’ve always found it suspicious how the second son of the Zhao family suddenly died of sickness. Did any of you follow up on this?” Xu Lan handed over the files to Xiao Feng and looked at him with his arms crossed over his chest. He was not expecting an answer as there was no report about the child at all. No one took his remark seriously!

“Xiao Xu, what’s with your impressive observation skills?” Wang Meng was stunned by Xu Lan’s elaborations. He leaped toward Xu Lan and slapped his shoulder in excitement.

‘Shush!’ All of the files in Xu Lan’s hands flew and dropped onto the ground.

“Uh, heh, I’m so sorry about that. You’re so impressive that you took me by surprise.” Wang Meng picked up the files and explained. From the sight of Wang Meng’s back, Xu Lan recalled the moment when they first met.

It was such a horrible experience that Xu Lan would never want to go through again.

“Yeah, I don’t know about that. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to make a move now.”

“Sure, sure, sure! Hurry up and make peace with Bai Wu. We’ll drop you a call if there’s anything,” Wang Meng teased.
