BXBX NOVEL Chapter 546 - She Was Glad
“Oh? So?” Huang He’s gaze dimmed slightly.
“Brother Ying asked me about it and I admitted that you both used to be in a relationship. I have also told him that ever since that day, both of you have parted ways and would never contact each other again...” Tian Danyue raised her head slowly, her eyes were filled with complicated feelings. “That’s about all that I’ve said.”
She specially added the last sentence.
Huang He gave a laugh when he heard that. “Yeah, that’s about all, what else is there about me?”
Tian Danyue didn’t know how to answer that.
Huang He let out another sneer.
“After hearing this, I suddenly understand something.”
“What do you understand?” Tian Danyue asked.
“The snatch thief that day, it must be one of his men who acted according to his orders, right? He has been doubting and testing me huh? Guess he really treats me like a fool?”
Tian Danyue was taken aback. “I, I really didn’t know about this matter. You should know that he won’t tell me about this.”
Hmph! Huang He puffed a sigh lazily. “I do know that. He didn’t trust me and it’s only normal that he wanted to test me. But look what happened this time? Ah Fei got caught and the goods are gone. If I’m still with the police, do you believe that I would laugh my head off?”
“...”
Tian Danyue chose to keep quiet.
...
Xiang Wan took a quick bite for lunch and stayed at the office.
There were some documents on her table but she wasn’t in the mood to read anything and couldn’t do anything as well.
She couldn’t stop checking her phone.
In the Gossip group chat, no one posted any messages.
Bai Muchuan did not call her either.
Everyone in Serious Crime Division One was hectic.
And the reason for them being so hectic was simply because three hours ago, Xiang Wan learnt from Cui Jiaying a very important piece of information.
“Operation Heaven’s Wrath, will not only be carried out in the Capital... But all over the nation.”
When Cui Jiaying said that, she actually sounded proud.
Xiang Wan was appalled to hear that. “Even if it will be carried out nationwide, why did you say that we won’t be in time to stop it?”
“This is because other than the Capital, all other locations are already fully prepared for Operation Heaven’s Wrath. They are just waiting for the moment... When the time comes, everywhere will be filled with zombies... Yup! This is Heaven’s Wrath! The heavens are angry and there will be a large number of people turning into zombies... Cough, cough, those people who deserved death, has to die.”
Xiang Wan was dumbfounded and sat rooted to the spot.
Operation Heaven’s Wrath?
Everywhere would be filled with zombies...
They would roam around the streets at night and bite people.
They would bite the women, children ferociously. It could turn the world into a living hell...
Everyone would be terrified and the scenes would be too horrific!
Xiang Wan couldn’t help giving a shudder at that thought. “Who are the people they wish to kill?”
Cui Jiaying shook her head. “I don’t know... But they are people who deserve death anyway.”
“So how did these people get those drugs, stay in contact with the Dark Clan and follow their orders?”
“I don’t know...”
Looking at her unconcerned and even peaceful expression, Xiang Wan almost flared up at her.
“So what exactly did you know?”
“Apart from what I’ve said earlier, I only know that they collected a list of names via the Internet... I heard that there are more than 10,000 people who signed up to be a part of this Operation. Oh right, this figure was that day’s number... It should be about a month ago. Hahahaha... Cough, cough...”
Cui Jiaying’s sneers and coughing sounds resonated around her ears.
Xiang Wan had a hand clasped at the chest; she felt uneasy. That feeling was as if a numerous amount of cats were clawing at her heart—it was chaotic.
She immediately informed Bai Muchuan after ending the conversation with Cui Jiaying.
Hence, the entire Intelligence team under Serious Crime Division One was activated. Bai Muchuan also reported this to the higher-ups and asked for full cooperation from the Internet Police Department to quickly conduct a search for related information, as well as the name list in an attempt to stop the evil plan that searched for death targets through the Internet.
However, so far, there was nothing.
Cui Jiaying also revealed to Xiang Wan the reason why the ‘zombie’ cases took place in the Capital was to mislead the police into thinking that the place where they carry out Operation Heaven’s Wrath was the Capital.
The police could only see these offline cases. They wouldn’t know that Operation Heaven’s Wrath was actually organized online secretly.
“With regards to this matter,” said Cui Jiaying, “they were tight-lipped about it. Only a small amount of people knew it... For someone like me, I shouldn’t have come to know about it at all.”
Xiang Wan asked, “How did you know about this then?”
“All of the ‘zombie’ cases,” continued Cui Jiaying, “with the exception of the last one, was planned by me... Xiang Gongzi, I’m also one of the people who get the drug. The fellow who gave me the drug is one of An Ying’s henchmen. That night, I managed to make him drunk... My original intent was to find out about my son’s whereabouts, but he knew nothing about my son and accidentally revealed this secret...”
Huff!
That was some unexpected information.
Xiang Wan felt her hairs standing on their ends. “Who is that person? The henchmen that you spoke of.”
Cui Jiaying replied, “His name is Ah Fei.”
...
Ding! A notification from QQ came in and broke Xiang Wan’s thoughts.
She tapped on it and saw that it was Fang Yuanyuan. “Sis, I brought Blackie for a health check and he’s now on the way to meet you at the Capital. That took me one morning. How are you going to thank me for my hard work?”
Xiang Wan didn’t have the mood to banter with her. “I’ll give you what you want.”
Fang Yuanyuan replied, “Wow! So generous today? Did you miss me too much or something?”
This girl was always so optimistic!
Xiang Wan was suddenly a little envious.
Even when the sky’s falling, she believed that Fang Yuanyuan would still be able to crack a joke.
“You’re right, I do miss you.”
This was a sentence that would seem to be rather down. But before Xiang Wan sent that, she got another message from Fang Yuanyuan.
“Did something happen to my Huanghuang?”
“...” Xiang Wan changed her message. “It’s almost Lunar New Year, why do you think like that?”
“Hey, why did I feel that you seem to want to say something?”
“There isn’t! Did you have too much hotpot or something after you returned home that your brain suffered some damage?” As they conversed with each other with words on a screen, it was easy for one to draw their own conclusions as they couldn’t see the other party’s expression. Xiang Wan puffed a sigh and didn’t dare to type anything that might reveal her currently worried feelings. “He’s alright. You can be rest assured on that.”
“He’s alright... That means you know how he is doing?” Fang Yuanyuan asked again.
Geez, this woman knew how to look out for ‘clues’ now.
Xiang Wan sent an emoji to knock her head. “I can’t tell you even if I knew how he’s doing. We have rules to abide, you know?”
“Alright then!” Fang Yuanyuan also sent an emoji that was sniffling its nose and seemed pitiful. Then she went on to talk about celebrating Lunar New Year in their family.
Usually, by this time, the festive mood would have rubbed off on them.
They would be busy getting the Lunar New Year goodies, as well as new clothes and more.
Fang Yuanyuan told her that their family was somewhat quieter this year, especially over at youngest aunt’s.
“Previously, your mom still regularly went to help out at youngest aunt’s place. Tiantian would cry when he didn’t see her around. But nowadays, she didn’t go as often... My mom asked her why and she said that it’s going to Lunar New Year so she wanted to do some spring cleaning. Besides, youngest aunt has also gotten another helper, so she didn’t need her as much anymore.”
After Xiang Wan’s mom stayed in Bai Muchuan’s mansion, she sort of had a place to go back to.
In the beginning, she didn’t mind the unhappiness during the lunch banquet that day. She was also worried about Tiantian so she went to youngest aunt’s place every day to take care of him. But even though they used to be close, it was unrealistic to expect that things would still be the same.
Moreover, with Xing Feifei around, Xiang Wan didn’t even need to think and could already know what her mom had suffered there. She really didn’t want her mom to go help out at youngest aunt’s place anymore.
Hence, she was actually glad to see that her mom stopped doing that anymore.
