Chapter 43: Heavy Rain is Coming (Part 4)
His voice was calm, as if he knew exactly what they were here for. This reaction made Xia Beibei alert. She observed him calmly, but the doubts between her brows became more and more obvious.
Seeing this, Mo Tan smiled and said, "I know your ability, but your trick of prying into people's hearts doesn't work on me. I know you are confused. In fact, I also want to tell you, but I'm sorry, someone said that it's not the right time yet."
Xia Beibei's teacup shook, and the boiling water scalded her hand. She didn't notice it at all, and said anxiously:
"Someone said? Who, who are you talking about?"
Mo Tan reminded with a smile, "You haven't answered my question just now. How did you find me?"
Xia Beibei asked: "Wang Dian, do you know him?"
Mo Tan blew out a smoke ring, half-closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then looked at her strangely.
"Wang Dian is a tight-lipped person. You can get any information about me from him."
Having said this, he suddenly paused, and his expression changed again and again. Xia Beibei couldn't understand the complex look that was a mixture of surprise, anger, despair, and bitterness, but she felt vaguely that something was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong.
"you……"
She wanted to ask something, but just as she opened her mouth, Mo Tan interrupted her.
"Officer Xia, if you put aside your family feud, do you think the Sun Organization should exist?"
Xia Beibei sneered at this question and said, "You call me Officer Xia, so you should know my answer. Why bother asking so many questions? If the law allows the Sun Organization to exist, then there will be no need for the police."
Mo Tan finished a cigarette and smoked another one. "But some hatreds cannot be resolved by law, just like Li Xiaochun, Chen Yong, Zhao Yongde, and Fu Wei. The law cannot punish them, but were their deaths unjust?"
Xia Beibei said: "Hatred? Who doesn't have hatred in this world? A look, an action, a joke, are all the sources of hatred. Because they hurt you, you can't help but hate them, but people can control their impulses."
After taking a sip of tea, she looked at Mo Tan intently and said half-truthfully:
"Like now, I know you might be from the Sun Organization, and you are smiling at me, but I want to strangle you to death. However, reason tells me that I cannot act impulsively. If everyone chooses to retaliate against those who have hurt them like you do, it will be a disaster for the world, not the so-called justice and fairness."
As the night deepened and the weather became sultry, the wind suddenly started to blow.
Gao Bochuan went to the garage to drive the car. Xia Beibei and Mo Tan stood in the yard waiting. Mo Tan was still smoking. He looked up at the stars in the sky and said nonchalantly:
"It is said that after a person dies, they will turn into stars in the sky. The brightest one you see when you look up is the person who loves you the most. They will bless you in heaven. Officer Xia, do you believe this?"
Xia Beibei said: "I don't believe it, but my grandfather did tell me when I was a child that he would be watching me from heaven after he died. I believe it, but he never sent me a dream to tell me who the murderer was."
Mo Tan said: "The fortune teller said that I will have a disaster this year. He can help me resolve it, but the price I have to pay is quite painful. Tell me, should I believe him?"
Xia Beibei said: "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. However, those so-called masters, if you are successful, they will say that they helped you to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune. If you can't escape, they will say that it is your fate and you can't escape the disaster."
Mo Tan flicked the ash off his cigarette and muttered to himself, "If it goes well, it means you seek good fortune and avoid disaster. If it can't be avoided, it means you can't escape disaster. So that's it."
Gao Bochuan was already driving over here. Mo Tan threw his cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out. Xia Beibei had just taken a step when he stopped her.
"Officer Xia, I admire you very much, so I will give you a final piece of advice. While you are trying your best to break free from the past, someone is also risking his life to protect you. If you can live happily now, some things should be stopped here. Don't be too persistent, otherwise, you will definitely regret it."
Xia Beibei tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She always felt uneasy, as if something big was about to happen. Her sixth sense had always been very accurate, so this unfounded panic made her even more uneasy.
At five in the morning, she went out to pour a glass of water. Gao Bochuan's room door was still open and the light inside was off. Obviously, he had not returned yet.
After the three of them had dinner last night, Mo Tan said he wanted to treat Gao Bochuan to a drink and chat about something, so Gao Bochuan sent her back first. Logically, it should have ended long ago, but he hasn't come back yet. Or is he drunk? Fell asleep at Mo Tan’s house?
She called Gao Bochuan at one o'clock in the morning, but his phone was turned off. Now she called again, but it was still turned off.
After drinking the whole glass of water, she lay on the sofa in a restless state, constantly comforting herself, thinking that she must have fallen asleep because of drunkenness. Yes, she fell asleep. Gao Bochuan's phone was almost out of battery during dinner last night, so the phone turned off automatically due to lack of battery.
Half asleep and half awake, she was awakened by a violent vibration mixed with the loud ringing of a cell phone. Xia Beibei sat up from the sofa.
She took the phone from the coffee table and saw that the caller ID was Yang Lin. She rubbed her temples in disappointment and glanced at the time. It was already 7:30 in the morning.
She pressed her aching head and swiped the answer button with a bad tone.
"Hey, Yang Lin, you..."
"Boss Bei, No. 588 Taihe Road, come here quickly!"
Yang Lin's voice was urgent and fast, even more irritable than hers, vaguely with panic and worry. Without waiting for Xia Beibei to ask again, he took a deep breath and said:
"Mo Tan is dead, the suspect is... the boss"
