Mou Xuan hung up the phone, his face as gloomy as the sky before a rainstorm.
Detective Lu has disappeared.
Oh, this trick is too crude.
Buddy Chen, do you think you can scare me away like this?
He clenched his phone tightly, his knuckles turned white, and a cold murderous look condensed between his brows.
He knew it was a trap, a trap set for him.
Detective Lu's disappearance was just a bait to lure him out, and then...
"Damn it!" Mou Xuan cursed and punched the table, and the solid wooden tabletop made a dull sound.
He was not afraid, but angry, angry at being fooled.
He hated the feeling of being led by the nose, especially by someone he once regarded as a partner.
At this moment, a pair of soft arms wrapped around his waist from behind, and a faint fragrance penetrated into his nose, warm and comfortable.
It’s Chen Yao.
"What's wrong?" Chen Yao's voice was soft, with a hint of worry.
Her cheek pressed against his back, and the soft touch made his heart flutter.
Mou Xuan took a deep breath, held Shen Yao's hand with his backhand, and felt the warmth of her palm.
This warmth relaxed his tense nerves a little.
"It's okay." He said lightly, but his tone was still cold.
He didn't want to make Chen Yao worry, and he didn't want to drag her into this dangerous vortex.
"You're lying," Chen Yao's voice was a little coquettish, "Your hands are shaking." She turned to Mou Xuan, stood on tiptoe, and gently kissed his lips.
The soft touch and sweet taste caused ripples in Mou Xuan's heart.
He held Chen Yao's waist and deepened the kiss.
After a long time, their lips parted. A blush appeared on Chen Yao's face, her eyes were blurry and filled with a hint of lust.
"I'm fine," Mou Xuan said again, but his tone was much softer, "I'm just a little... angry."
He gently stroked Chen Yao's cheek
"Be careful." Chen Yao snuggled in his arms and said softly.
Mou Xuan nodded, his eyes firm.
He knew it was a dangerous game, but he was ready.
"Wait until I come back." He said, turning and walking towards the door.
"Wait," Chen Yao called him, took off a necklace from her neck and handed it to him, "Here, you wear it."
Mou Xuan took the necklace and it felt cold to the touch.
This is a silver necklace, and the pendant is a jade pendant carved with a phoenix.
"This is……"
"My mother left it to me," Chen Yao said, "She said it would keep me safe."
Mou Xuan looked at the necklace in his hand, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He put the necklace around his neck, and the cool touch instantly sobered him up.
"Thank you." He said and walked out.
It was a dark night, and a black car drove silently into the night.
Inside the car, Mou Xuan's eyes flashed with coldness, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Partner Chen, the game has begun...
He dialed a number and said, "Help me check Secretary Bai's recent whereabouts..."
Mou Xuan stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the black car shot out like an arrow, drawing a black arc in the night.
He knew that Secretary Bai was the key to unlocking the door to Partner Chen's conspiracy.
"Ding ding ding——" The mobile phone navigation showed that Secretary Bai was located in an old residential area.
Mou Xuan sneered. This rat really knew how to hide, and it specifically chose places like these where there was no surveillance.
He parked the car, put on a baseball cap and a mask, covering most of his face, and quickly blended into the night.
The neighborhood was quiet, with only a few dim street lamps emitting faint light, stretching the shadows of the trees into long, savage monsters.
According to the location, Secretary Bai should be on the fifth floor of Unit 3.
Mou Xuan crouched down and went upstairs quietly.
As soon as I reached the fifth floor, I heard hurried footsteps coming closer and closer.
"Oh no, I've been discovered!" Mou Xuan said in his heart, and hid in the shadow of the stairwell.
A figure ran out in a panic. It was Secretary Bai!
He was holding a briefcase in his hand, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and his eyes were looking around in fear, like a frightened rabbit.
"Want to run? Not that easy!" Mou Xuan sneered, walked out of the shadows and blocked Secretary Bai's way.
"Ah!" Secretary Bai was so frightened that his briefcase fell to the ground, and the documents inside were scattered all over the floor.
"Mr. Mou...Mr. Mou...what...what do you want to do?" Secretary Bai's voice was trembling, like sifting chaff.
"You know what I want to do." Mou Xuan approached step by step, his eyes as sharp as a knife, as if he could see through people's hearts, "Tell me everything you know, and I can consider letting you go."
Secretary Bai was so frightened that his face turned pale and his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a word.
"Don't tell me?" Mou Xuan sneered, "Then I'll have to..." He paused deliberately,
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you!" Secretary Bai couldn't hold it in any longer and told him everything, including Partner Chen's conspiracy, Detective Lu's disappearance, and his own involvement...
After listening to this, Mou Xuan showed a victorious smile on his face.
As he expected, the old fox Chen finally showed his true colors!
"Very good." Mou Xuan patted Secretary Bai on the shoulder and said in a relaxed tone, "You did a good job."
Secretary Bai felt as if he had been pardoned. He collapsed to the ground, feeling powerless all over.
Mou Xuan bent down, picked up the document on the ground, and read it carefully.
Suddenly, his eyes focused on one of the documents.
