“Brilliant, Captain!” Zhao Yiyang praised excitedly while standing up as he immediately got himself dressed in a neat suit.

“You won't mind if I come along since Sergeant Jiang is treating everyone, right?” Bai Mo said as she stood by the door while taking off her oversized lab coat. She was wearing a long white dress, it made her look extremely stunning and elegant.

Jiang Yuecheng nodded generously with a smile, commenting, “You worked tirelessly these couple of days as well, Dr. Bai.”

“Such a blessing for Dr. Bai to join us. It'll surely increase our appetite to feast now,” Xing Jiadong replied with a chuckle.

While he was the fittest man in the team, this person lacked any brain capacity on a daily basis and would habitually speak out his mind as bluntly as he could. There were times the words he spoke would turn out offensive and hurtful. He tended to stir unwanted trouble.

However, every single person in his team grew accustomed to his erratic behavior.

Zhao Yiyang grabbed onto Xing Jiadong's arm and proceeded to tease him, “What do you mean? Are you saying that our Wei Muran isn't pretty enough for you?”

In all honesty, judging from Wei Muran's looks alone, she genuinely looked prettier than Bai Mo.

Based on Wei Muran's parents alone, Wei Ziwei had a peculiar face of evil and although he was currently at his middle age, he would resemble someone who was in their thirties or forties and still looked devilishly stunning. The only difference besides his age was, he had become a much stable person who still possessed the ability to stun anyone with his looks.

Wei Ran was only a couple of years younger than Wei Ziwei and she looked as equally as stunning as her husband and would make anyone assume this woman had never aged even by the slightest bit. This couple was the very personification of devilish beauty, as if they were incapable of aging.

Wei Muran had inherited her mother's smooth, pale elegant face. Her soft and tender skin that had a slight hint of blush on her cheeks, her face was like a freshly peeled hard-boiled egg. However, her eyes looked identical to Wei Ziqi's; a pair of captivatingly flirtatious eyes, making her already elegant and pure angelic-like appearance even more charming.

Perhaps it was due to her young age that made her beauty less obvious. Nonetheless, she would bring her natural charm's full potential if she was slightly older than her current age, and that would be a nationwide catastrophe.

Wei Ziwei's face would cause anyone's heart to grow cold by the instant, but it was his charmingly flirtatious eyes that would cause anyone to unknowingly pay little attention to his other qualities.

Bai Mo was well-loved as well since she was also naturally beautiful, and her elegance was something every man would yearn desperately for. It was different from Wei Muran since she was still young. Wei Muran paid very little to no attention to make up since she had not reached that stage yet.

She enjoyed wearing a T-shirt and pairing it with jeans and sneakers. All she had to do was tie her hair into a ponytail and she would be ready to head out. Although she was absolutely stunning, her casual look would be overlooked by plenty of people.

Since she would often interact with crude lads and was often busy working till late at night, no one was keen enough to pay any attention to Wei Muran. The only attention she received was merely a quick glance. It was only natural for everyone to think that the most beautiful lady in the entire police department was Bai Mo, who invested her time in putting on makeup and dressed elegantly.

“Oh good lord, we see Muran every single day from the first light of the day to the very end of the night. I'd see her every single time I look up from my desk in the office, so I'm pretty used to the way she looks. It's not like Dr. Bai; this lady is the embodiment of elegance and beauty,” Xing Jiadong replied.

“Bold of you to have said that,” Zhang Ming snapped back at him. He then joked, “Muran, why don't you put on some makeup on your way to work tomorrow, just to educate the foolish.”

What exactly defined a truly beautiful lady?

He stopped before he could finish his sentence in order to not offend Bai Mo.

Bai Mo was never Zhang Ming's type to begin with as he thought her portrayal of herself as pretentious. He wondered if the men of the police force were all blind.

Judging from his relationship with Wei Muran, they could technically be counted as half a childhood friend. He was never close with her when they were little, but since it was Qi Youxuan who had brought him along every once in a while to meet up with Wei Muran, he knew Wei Muran was already extraordinarily stunning even from back then. Bai Mo could never compare to her beauty.

However, there was one man whose eyes were not blind.

Zhang Ming glanced over to Jiang Yuecheng and noticed he was smiling warmly and graciously to Wei Muran.

“Alright, that's enough. I believe there's no need for Wei Muran to be flooded by such high praises,” Jiang Yuecheng jokingly replied.

The smile on Bai Mo's face looked stiff. Xing Jiadong was just mere moments ago praising her and now Jiang Yuecheng had told Xing Jiadong he knew nothing of true beauty, completely devaluing her worth along with Xing Jiadong.

Although they were all joking and having fun, there were some truths to their jokes as well.

As everyone walked out of the station, Wei Muran noticed Qi Youxuan who was absent for a couple of days.

He was wearing a pitch-black windbreaker, the sleeves of the windbreaker were fluttering slightly as the fall breeze blew. Both his hands were tucked away in the pockets of his windbreaker, anchoring the windbreaker to prevent it from fluttering messily as the wind blew. The front collar was slightly swaying along with the wind.

The way he posed was not as inhuman as a statue, but since the windbreaker was fluttering with the wind, it made him more human-like.

Wei Muran was slightly agitated at him. He had the audacity to not contact her for two whole days.

As she glanced over to look at Qi Youxuan, and before she had decided if she wanted to ignore him, she heard a surprised voice with a slight hint of shy nervousness coming from behind her. That voice shouted, “Mr. Qi!”

Wei Muran turned around to look back at who was yelling. She recognized that lady. She was a journalist known as Zhao Ruiqi.

She used to have a crush on Jiang Yuecheng as she would always drop by their department and was also on good terms with Bai Mo. However, it was unsure of what had happened down the line, and she had stopped showing up and judging from her behavior. She had not been close to Bai Mo ever since.

However, she had a tiny reputation for herself in the station, and it was also unclear who nicknamed her as 'Tiny flower'. It was as if the meaning behind that nickname within the station was meant to symbolize she was lower than Bai Mo.

“What brings you here Mr. Qi? Is there another case?” Zhao Ruiqi approached Qi Youxuan with a cheerful smile.

Her natural look was an adorable cheerful one since she had a baby-face, which would gain plenty of attention and love from men.

Zhao Ruiqi had noticed Qi Youxuan for quite a while, the only thing was, she was told that he had been recruited into the police force as a specialist, since he was the one who had cracked the Huai City case, and now, he was credited to crack the serial killer case.

There were plenty of single ladies within the station who absolutely adored him since he had amazing looks, young and most importantly, single.

The only thing was, none of them dared to talk to him, but she was bold enough to make her first move by talking to him.

“I'm here for someone,” Qi Youxuan calmly replied.

“It's noon now. Have you had your lunch, Mr. Qi?” Zhao Ruiqi asked. She continued, “If you haven't had any yet, could you grace a lady with your company by sharing a meal with me?”

Zhao Ruiqi blushed as she had made the first move by hinting her feelings to a guy. Even though it was not her first time doing so, this was her first time feeling so anxious. It was even more severe than her confessing to her crush back in middle school.

She could not explain why, and although she had a huge crush on Qi Youxuan, she felt immensely tense as she stood in front of him. It was not due to her jittery feelings of love that caused her anxiety; it was caused by her irrational fear toward him.

Zhao Ruiqi could not explain to herself why she was afraid, even though she clearly loved that man.

When Qi Youxuan noticed Wei Muran walking out alongside Jiang Yuecheng, he had completely ignored the fact that she was also walking out with Zhang Ming and the other guys. At this moment, he could feel the fury of his inner beast slowly unleashing its fangs as he was tempted to kick Jiang Yuecheng aside.

Wei Muran glanced toward his direction, but it was also as if she had not noticed him and was not looking at him. His face dimmed.

It was unsure what exactly Jiang Yuecheng had told Wei Muran to cause her to chuckle lightly. Even her eyes lit up with joy.

“Mumu!” Qi Youxuan called out to her as he completely ignored Zhao Ruiqi while he walked toward them after leaving Zhao Ruiqi behind.

Wei Muran scoffed as she pretended to not hear his call while she continued to walk alongside Jiang Yuecheng.

It took little to no effort for Qi Youxuan to catch up with them as he grabbed onto her shoulder then proceeded to say her name as his eyebrows twitched.

Hence, Wei Muran proceeded to turn around and she noticed Qi Youxuan's sorrow-filled sad face.

What was he sad about?

As Zhang Ming noticed the scene, he proceeded to grab onto Zhao Yiyang and Yang Shaozhan and said, “You guys go on and chat, we'll head out first.”

Wei Muran pouted while remaining silent.

Jiang Yuecheng noticed Qi Youxuan then proceeded to ask Wei Muran, “Do you wanna come with us?”

“Mumu…” The tone of Qi Youxuan's voice was extremely low, it was almost like a sad pitiful plea.

As she looked up at him, she was shocked to see that Qi Youxuan was showing a pitiful expression like he used to when he was a kid. It was the same sad expression he would show every time he wanted to eat some meat. Anyone who looked at such a sad look would feel bad.

However, now that he was an adult, he had actually pulled off that look shamelessly. Could he even feel shameful at all?

After all, Zhang Ming and the guys were watching as well!

Wei Muran simply told Jiang Yuecheng, “Go on ahead without me first, Captain.”

However, Jiang Yuecheng seemed reluctant and simply said, “Call me if anything happens, alright?”

Qi Youxuan pouted as he thought to himself just what exactly could happen with him around her. Besides, why on earth should she call Jiang Yuecheng personally if anything were to happen?

After Jiang Yuecheng and everyone else had left, Qi Youxuan brought Wei Muran to his car and had long forgotten about Zhao Ruiqi.

As Wei Muran sat in the car, she could still see Zhao Ruiqi standing alone in disbelief and shock while staring directly at his car. Her face was blushing and it was probably due to embarrassment.

Wei Muran's mood had seemingly improved as she had a slight grin at the edge of her mouth. Feeling slightly evil, she said, “It's not too nice of you to just leave someone standing alone out there, right?”

“Who?” Qi Youxuan had completely forgotten about Zhao Ruiqi's existence so there was no reaction from him. For someone so smart, his current expression looked quite dumb.

“Pretending, go on ahead, keep pretending! I refuse to believe a beautiful-looking girl that had made her first move in getting your attention would have little to no effect on your feelings. She's quite popular in our station, and the competition for her is fierce, so you truly felt nothing?” As Wei Muran continued to speak, she grew increasingly frustrated and agitated as she thought about how this man could just disappear without a trace for a few days.

As Wei Muran was done speaking, she assumed she had angered Qi Youxuan by her outburst since she had not heard Qi Youxuan's voice. Thus, her heart began to wrench a little.

She was known to quite the patient girl, yet she was also spoiled by Wei Ziqi when she was a child. This resulted in her unreasonable actions at certain times.

Ever since they were little, Qi Youxuan had always made her happy. As long as she was happy, Qi Youxuan would do absolutely anything for her. Fortunately, she had never requested anything extremely drastic as she only had the occasional mood swings, and it was always up to Qi Youxuan to cheer her up.

She felt slightly guilty after she was done speaking as she thought she sounded unreasonable.

As she began to look up with guilt, she was greeted by Qi Youxuan's smiling face.

“Are you jealous?” Qi Youxuan teased while squinting his eyes as he gently nudged her. “Weren't you saying that you were unsure of how you feel about me before? So it should be clear now since you're jealous.”

“Who…who told you that?” Wei Muran blushingly admitted but her heart was still unsure. The longer she thought about it, the more she realized she was actually jealous, hence her blushing face.

“I've told you before, I'll come back for my answer after this case is closed.” Qi Youxuan leaned closer to Wei Muran without her realizing it.

It would be better if he had not said that. The moment he brought that up, Wei Muran was angry again. She said, “Yeah I've said that, you said after the case was closed. How many days had gone by already? You've never contacted me at all, and now you want my answer? It's too late now!”

Qi Youxuan smirked and said, “It's not because I didn't want to contact you; I was dragged back into my dad's company this past couple of days. I went to France, and I knew after I finished working there, it would've been midnight here. I had just got off the plane four in the morning earlier today, I haven't even changed the timezone back. After a change of clothes, I immediately came over.”

“Why did you rush to come over then? You should be resting at home.” Wei Muran felt guilty.

“I'm dying to know your answer, right?” Qi Youxuan grinned, and it was unsure when Qi Youxuan placed his arm around her seat.

“…” Wei Muran finally realized he was leaning closer to her thus she instinctively leaned back. Just like that, she was backed into a corner by the seats.

“Mumu, do you like me?” Qi Youxuan asked with a soft voice. He continued, “Don't you dare play dumb, I know you know what exactly I'm talking about in the context of liking.”

It was not because he was rushing for an answer. It was because he was worried that she was completely surrounded by his enemy.

Since Jiang Yuecheng spent every single day with her, he would see her every time he looked up or glanced down. It would be impossible for him not to keep coming back just to check on her. He was worried that whenever he was not around, Jiang Yuecheng would force her into a corner.

So time is of the essence; he had to seize every second to hug his loved ones close to him.

Otherwise, the woman he waited for twenty years would be approached by someone else, so he had to force his own hand in solving this debacle.

“…” Wei Muran's lips began to twitch nervously. “I—” She was kissed on the lips by Qi Youxuan.

As her lips were touched by soft but moist tender lips—the moment her lips made contact with his—it felt like a caterpillar was crawling on her lips, causing her to have goosebumps all over her body.
