Murder the Dream Guy - Chapter 649

Jealousy, Desires, Greed?

As long as they were human, who wouldn’t have such thoughts?

However, did she have all of them? Xiang Wan actually didn’t know.

“So, what’s the difference between us?” Ye Lun laughed. “We’re not good people.”

Xiang Wan gazed at Ye Lun.

This man was mysterious and difficult to understand.

She looked at his eyes.

She wanted to look at his heart and his desires through his eyes.

“I’m curious.” Xiang Wan finally spoke after keeping silent for a while. “Do we have any connection in the past, so you have to put in so much effort in dealing with me? You stole my mobile phone, you wrote the murderer’s script and the ‘zombie’ drug then. Now, this HW virus… Hur! I’ve never gotten so much attention in my life before. I have to admit that I’m not used to the fact that I’ve become such an important person.”

She spoke so casually…

… As though she was chatting with a friend.

Ye Lun looked at her from the corner of his eyes. “I wasn’t dealing with you.” His finger was tapping on his knee. His expression was cold, yet he was wearing a smile. “In the beginning, I was just curious. What kind of woman are you since you’re Bai Muchuan’s woman… I’m also curious about what you are like.”

Bai Muchuan’s woman… and the word ‘you,’ was there a difference between them for him to differentiate that?

Xiang Wan mulled over his words. “Are you related to Bai Muchuan in any way?”

“Well, yes.” Ye Lun’s eye turned cold as he spoke. “But I can’t tell you.”

“Hur!” Xiang Wan showed a disdainful sneer as she rolled her eyes. “Is it related to that Special School? He helped Xie Wanwan out when they were in there; your dad went to jail because of that school, and your life changed ever since?”

Ye Lun was stunned for a moment.

“Oh.” He laughed. “Looks like you’re well-informed!”

“Of course.” Xiang Wan slightly raised her chin and looked at Ye Lun in the eyes. That look of contempt on her face was even more apparent now. She wanted to use her own way to demolish Ye Lun’s great wall of sins that had been constructed within him. “I’ll be frank, Mister Ye. If you took to the criminal path just because of this insignificant event, then you’d end up destroying not only others but also yourself. How different are you from a three-year-old kid who is throwing a tantrum because he couldn’t get the candy he wanted? Your mentality is so fragile that I can’t help but to look down on you.”

Ye Lun responded with a cold look in his eyes.

That glance was as sharp as a knife…

… As though he wished the knife could pierce through her.

Nobody liked to hear words that belittle them.

It was the same for him.

This woman was already his prisoner, yet she still dared to provoke him?

Ye Lun’s gaze turned dim. “Are you not afraid of death?”

Xiang Wan looked at him straight in the face. “My life and death have nothing to do with what I say.”

“But, you antagonize me, woman.” Ye Lun stretched out his hand suddenly and grabbed Xiang Wan by her chin to make her look up at him forcefully. He stared at her, the hostility and coldness were evident, and his fingers gripped her chin harder as he spoke. “Who are you to say that to me? You have never experienced the pain that I have gone through. What gave you the right to think that you are in a position to reprimand what I choose to do with my life?”

Xiang Wan was fearless.

She tilted her head high, looked right back at him, and smiled.

“Tell me then! What have you gone through anyway?”

Ye Lun didn’t say a word.

A moment later, he moved his neck to relax the muscles.

“You’ll find out soon.”

“…”

He increased his grip on Xiang Wan, so she could only look up further.

Only when she felt that her neck might break soon did she hear Ye Lun’s laugh.

“I’m waiting for your Bai Muchuan to bring me the biochemical weapon in exchange for you…”

The HW virus?

Xiang Wan was shocked when she heard that. This was no trivial matter.

“You don’t have the HW virus?”

Ye Lun looked at her and let go of her chin.

“They have abandoned me.”

Abandoned?

That spoke a lot.

Enough for Xiang Wan to mind map out the cause and effect.

“An Ying’s your dad. He got caught and went to the detention center… Heaven’s Wrath no longer trusts you, so they went ahead and got another person to execute their evil plan? They gave you up, and you couldn’t take it lying down. You wanted to destroy that guy and take back what belonged to you, or is your original intention to take revenge on society?”

“Teacher Xiang!” Ye Lun seemed a little displeased. “You know too much.”

“…” Would she be silenced?

“The more you know, the faster you die.”

“…”

Silence took over.

There was dead silence in the room.

Ye Lun switched off the light again.

It seemed that he adored darkness.

Darkness was his solace.

Xiang Wan could no longer see his face clearly in the darkness.

She could only see the small, flickering light at the end of the cigarette, which was clamped between his fingers…

Sometimes bright, sometimes dim.

…

For three days straight, Ye Lun didn’t contact Bai Muchuan.

There were no further demands from him.

They knew that Ye Lun was waiting.

He was waiting for Bai Muchuan to find that person for him and to get hold of Heaven’s Wrath, as well as that biochemical dispenser…

He could afford to wait but not Bai Muchuan.

For the past three days, he had never given up on locating Xiang Wan’s whereabouts.

For this, he used all possible contacts he had. The Ministry of State Security, Red Thorn’s Intelligence Team, and even the ZMI Intelligence Agency… All these departments worked together to find out more about Heaven’s Wrath, the biochemical weapon, and Xiang Wan’s whereabouts.

To prevent public panic, information regarding Heaven’s Wrath was classified.

They would not reveal or publicize news with regards to them. The search could only be done secretly.

However…

… They couldn’t find anything at all.

Ye Lun didn’t make a move either.

The new executor for Heaven’s Wrath in their country… also didn’t make a move.

Those who stayed quiet and laid low were the hardest to find.

The place where Xiang Wan disappeared into was a busy city area. There was a car accident, and the subsequent gunshots attracted numerous passersby that they crowded over the building. All traces of criminal activity were hence destroyed…

For the past three days, they found a bunch of Dark Clan members and captured countless criminals of all kinds.

Some sensitive dishonest people also got aware of the police’s abnormal behavior and dared not act recklessly lest they would get caught.”Access webnovel.live if you like watching manga,comics.

Even the petty thieves became honest.

The security seemed to improve by leaps and bounds, but Bai Muchuan’s weight lost about 10 pounds.

Only three days had passed, and he had already lost 10 pounds.

It seemed so easy and practical than any other weight loss product.

His cold was still there; his cough seemed to get worse, and his chin was now sharp.

As if affected by him, the entire Serious Crime Division One seemed enshrouded in a cold atmosphere and dared not banter around.

Xie Wanwan called Bai Muchuan several times to express her apology, but he didn’t take her calls. Nevertheless, Tang Yuanchu’s mission was still to protect Xie Wanwan since her safety was still at risk. It was just that she wasn’t the target this time around, and that doesn’t mean she wouldn’t be in the future. After all, in this series of cases, she was still deeply involved and required close surveillance.

On the fourth day, Huang He came to the Capital with Fang Yuanyuan.

The moment the airplane touched down, he rushed to Serious Crime Division One.

He was a detective who had a lot of experience. When facing such a situation, he was able to console the restless Fang Yuanyuan and immediately entered work mode when he saw Bai Muchuan.

“Searching for her is no different from searching for a needle in a haystack, but—”

His gaze was earnest as he looked at Bai Muchuan. “We can turn passivity into an initiative.”

Bai Muchuan coughed, and his face was pale. “Tell me about it.”

Huang He pulled a chair and rested his hands on his knees while sitting upright. “Captain Bai, I realize that it’s easy to develop a ‘fatal’ strong point when I worked with you for long.”

Mm? A good point that’s fatal?

Bai Muchuan contemplated for a moment. “Why?”

Huang He answered, “You’re too upright!”

Upright? Bai Muchuan’s lips formed a sneer. “Who in the team didn’t know that I don’t care about means, only results… You’re the first one who said that I’m upright.”

“I mean, you’re too bothered by rules.” Huang He was calm since he said that. “I’ve learned a lot during these few months of undercover work. Captain Bai, we are the police, and there are too many rules that bind us from doing our work. We have too many things that we didn’t dare to do, inconvenient to do, and can’t do… all these restricted our capability. I used to have all these concerns, and that put me at a disadvantage. The criminals are not like this at all. They are the ones who really cared about the results, regardless of what means they use.”

“Come straight to the point!” Bai Muchuan looked at him coldly.

“It’s simple! Just give him what he wants.”

Give him?

The HW virus? The biochemical dispenser?

Bai Muchuan didn’t have these with him. Even if he had them, he wouldn’t want to give it to Ye Lun as well.

Bai Muchuan sent a cold glare at him.

Huang He laughed. “Well, since we don’t have it, then make one for him.”

The Serious Crime Division was new. Needless to say, numerous people were watching what they were doing. One wrong move, and he might be asked to go.

Moreover, Serious Crime Division One was not the only unit that was handling this biochemical case and Heaven’s Wrath. That meant that Bai Muchuan couldn’t do whatever he wanted.

The consequence of doing such a thing… Huang He knew it very well. Bai Muchuan was also the same.

If he did this, it could mean…

It was equivalent to breaking the rules—a breach of discipline!

This might ruin his good name and his future…

The office was quiet for a long time.

Bai Muchuan nodded. “Alright!”

Huang He heaved a relief. “However, we have to plan this carefully. The timing has to be right as well. Our opponent is not easy to fool…”

Bai Muchuan made up his mind, and his heart settled.

“Before this, I need to go see someone.”

“Who is that?” Huang He was baffled.

“Meng Chi!”
