Chapter 547: So Nervous

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Isn’t this normal?” Xiang Wan said, “Tiantian will grow up one day and my mom is getting older as well. Her energy level wouldn’t be able to keep up with his.”

“It’s not normal,” responded Fang Yuanyuan swiftly, “When I came back to Jin City, I could already feel that something is wrong. I feel that the relationship between your family and youngest aunt’s family... is no longer as close. My mom’s caught in-between and honestly, she couldn’t do much.”

“...”

Xiang Wan was troubled on how to reply.

“We shouldn’t get involved as this is between them.”

“I’m not asking you to get involved, just maybe have a small chat with your mom,” explained Fang Yuanyuan. “I’ve always thought your mom was a very soft person. I’ve never thought that she could be so stubborn. Once her heart was set on something, nobody could persuade her out of it. My mom tried to persuade both sides but your mom simply refused to take the first step... When the relatives got wind of this matter, the situation sort of changed.”

“What changed?”

“They said that your mom owed it all to her son-in-law that she started to become arrogant... If this was in the past, she would have immediately taken the first step and cozy up to youngest aunt’s family.”

Xiang Wan looked at what Fang Yuanyuan had typed and remained silent for a moment.

She believed that what Fang Yuanyuan had told her already belonged to the nicer ones that she heard.

There were some things that although she was not in Jin City, it did not mean that she was ignorant of what was happening.

The original words of these relatives would most likely be 100 times worse than this.

“Let them say what they want. It’s their mouth anyway, we couldn’t be sewing their mouths?”

“Fine then, what you’ve said is right too.”

“I can’t talk anymore. I still have something on.”

Xiang Wan unilaterally ended the chat and made a call to her mom.

Just like most moms around the world, Xiang Wan’s mom told her all was well and that she missed her as well as Little Bai. She also asked what they would like to eat so she could make it for them and get Fang Yuanyuan to send it over. Of course, Xiang Wan didn’t want to trouble her mom. After talking for a moment, her mom started to nag at her and Xiang Wan was thinking of how to get out of that when she heard sounds of footsteps coming to her office.

Xiang Wan was instantly startled by the quick footsteps. “Mom, I can’t talk to you now. I’ve got work to do.”

“Aye, alright. It’s almost Lunar New Year but you couldn’t enjoy the holiday. You need to take care of yourself. Do tell Little Bai to take care of his health as well and not always work...”

“I know that. Bye, Mom! Just take good care of yourself will do. I’ll hang up now!”

Xiang Wan immediately ended the call and got up from her seat when the door to her office opened.

The man was standing at the entrance. The snow that landed on his shoulders has not yet melted.

“Why are you in such a hurry?” Xiang Wan put a hand on her chest. “Do you know that you scared me? I thought that something had happened.”

Bai Muchuan stared at her, smiling away. “Hmph! Can you be scared in the first place?”

The moment Xiang Wan saw his expression, she let out a cheer and hugged him. “There’s some good news right?” she asked.

Bai Muchuan was infected by her enthusiasm. He laughed and held her hands. “I guess it can be considered as good news.”

“You’ve worked hard, Detective Bai!” She quickly got him to sit down on the sofa. “Sit here, I’ll get you a glass of water then you tell me what happened...”

“Don’t bother.” Bai Muchuan took her arm. “I need to leave now.”

“You’re going out again?” Xiang Wan was puzzled. “Where are you going?”

“Jin City.”

“Jin City? Now?”

“Yes, now. I need to set off very soon. I’m here to ask if you want to come with me?”

Jin City was her hometown, after all, if he didn’t tell her about it, he would be in trouble.

Xiang Wan thought for a moment. “Sure. You’re going there for work right?”

Bai Muchuan nodded. “For work.”

“I see.” Xiang Wan then started to keep her laptop. “How’s the mission?”

Bai Muchuan: “It went very well. We caught a few of them.”

Xiang Wan glanced at him. “So how are you going to thank me?”

Bai Muchuan smiled and gave her a thumbs up. “Teacher Xiang, you’re fantastic.”

After that, he praised another person. “But this time, it’s a blessing that Huang He is also quick-witted—”

Xiang Wan was curious. “What do you mean?”

Bai Muchuan: “They actually took him to another spot to divert our attention and arranged the real batch of goods via another route to the Capital. On the other hand, they were actually waiting for him to inform the police about it!”

“In the end, Huang He didn’t do that, right?” Xiang Wan took her laptop bag and walked over to him. “You two do work well together, maybe you two should form a ship!”

“...”

Bai Muchuan knocked her head. “Don’t forget that we also have a Plan B. I was so worried that Huang He would fall into their trap... Fortunately, he didn’t.”

As he said this, he couldn’t imagine what would have happened otherwise. “If he fell into their trap, not to mention the aftermath we have to handle, he would have put himself in a very dangerous situation.”

Xiang Wan blinked at him. “Guess it’s really nice working with smart people, right?”

However, Bai Muchuan’s face dimmed. “But Huang He...”

He stopped halfway.

Xiang Wan immediately knew there was something. “What is it?”

Bai Muchuan reached out to get her laptop bag. “Let’s go.”

Xiang Wan rolled her eyes. “Are you a tortoise? You didn’t finish saying the sentence!”

Bai Muchuan was heading towards the entrance and turned to look at her with an amused expression. “If I’m a tortoise, then you would be the wife of a tortoise!”

“Hmph!” Xiang Wan gave him a displeased glance but with a smile. “Cut it out. Tell me, what happened to Huang He?”

“...”

He couldn’t keep anything from that beautiful pair of eyes.

Had he known, he wouldn’t have talked about it.

Bai Muchuan had some hesitations. He was actually fine with letting Xiang Wan know about this. He was just worried that she might tell Fang Yuanyuan about it.

“We caught a fellow by the name of San’er. He did not hesitate to give Huang He’s name. He even said that... in order to help An Ying deliver this batch of goods, he cut off a finger of his.”

He cut off a finger!?

Xiang Wan was shocked and froze in her spot for a moment.

Slowly, she lifted her hand.

She looked at it but didn’t say another word.

...

They were rushing for time.

They hopped on the car to the airport.

Quan Shaoteng and several others were also in the car. They headed straight to the airport and took the plane to Jin City.

While on the way to the airport, Bai Muchuan told Xiang Wan that they had interrogated Ah Fei and they could basically affirm his statement with what Cui Jiaying said regarding Operation Heaven’s Wrath. Nevertheless, although Ah Fei was close to An Ying, he was only in charge of picking up the drugs and disseminate them in the Capital. His knowledge of their online website was very limited.

And, most of it was only what he had heard.

He had heard that the website was built and based in a foreign country. By way of online registration, it had been collecting all kinds of stories of “grudge, injustice, anger and hatred” that people posted there. They would then do a screening and selected individuals would be included in their name list...

This name list had a fashionable name as well.

The Grey List.

The color that was in between black and white, just like these people... They were similar to those people involved in multi-level marketing.

The only difference between these two groups was perhaps, multi-level marketing was mainly conducted offline while Operation Heaven’s Wrath gathered the name list online.

Those who were selected and entered ‘The Grey List’ through the website. They were first brainwashed via the Internet, then the Dark Clan would contact these people in the real world and from there, they spread like a virus...

By carrying such activity with the use of the Internet, it was extremely secretive. Moreover, these people would be rewarded handsomely if they introduced people to register with the website, write their story and managed to enter the name list. They were so crazy about it, bearing their supposed ‘faith’, they were even more frightening than those pyramid selling schemes.

The main thing was, these people had no idea what they were going to do. They had no idea what Operation Heaven’s Wrath was about.

They had already been brainwashed and that they could receive money and exact their revenge at the same time...

Even if the police caught a few of them, the police could only find the few people that these people knew of, which would hardly affect the entire organization at all.

“This is really too crazy, too frightening! It’s totally... perverse.”

Xiang Wan found it hard to imagine that anyone would kill another in such a crazy manner.

And it was not just about killing people.

“The one behind this want not only the lives of these people but the pride of this society, the last shame of mankind...”

Bai Muchuan added, “They also had the financial and technological support of some foreign organizations, which is why they dared to execute a plan like this.”

He’s right!

If there was no money involved, the Dark Clan would not be able to execute this plan.

Hence, all the more that this had to be stopped!

Otherwise, the consequences would be dire!

Xiang Wan’s face went pale as she thought of all these. “Did Ah Fei fess up... on when would they be carrying out that operation?”

Bai Muchuan: “He told us that it would be on Lunar New Year’s Eve.”

That meant they still had two days left.

“Besides looking for that grey list, what else can we do?”

“We need to get the source of where the drugs are being stored. When that happens, they won’t be able to carry out Operation Heaven’s Wrath... No matter how these people are being brainwashed, they still need to provide the drugs to these people in real life...”

Xiang Wan nodded her head. “So we are rushing to Jin City for... ?”

Bai Muchuan: “We’ve cracked down many of their small bases in the Capital. Now we captured Ah Fei, who was also in-charge of disseminating the goods in this city. Huang He has received a secret mission by An Ying that he has to go to Jin City to get the goods to the Capital!”

“So, we are going to intercept them?”

“It’s not we, but me. Your mission is to stay with your mom.” Bai Muchuan suddenly narrowed his eyes. “I suspect something that both Cui Jiaying and Ah Fei said is false.”

“False? What is false?” Xiang Wan was eager to know that she clenched her fists.

“That their goods are sufficient and all locations are fully prepared.”

“What makes you think so?” Xiang Wan was surprised to hear that.

“The previous nationwide crackdown on drugs was not for show. Therefore, even if they had a sufficient amount of goods with them, they couldn’t distribute the goods quickly enough across the country... we have seized the goods meant for the Capital. An Ying was hence forced to let Huang He make a trip to Jin City to get another batch of goods. That could only mean that they have a huge drug den in Jin City... not only that, I suspect that the goods they are preparing to disseminate out to all parts of the country are currently stored there.”

“I get it now. So your mission is to intercept and take out that drug den. The second is to get their name list!”

Xiang Wan’s blood felt as if it was flowing in the opposite direction.

She was so nervous—this was a race against time!
