Wang Meng glanced at Xiao Feng before lowering his head. He kept his mouth shut and this piqued Xu Lan’s curiosity. Xu Lan urged them to spill the beans.
“I suppose you are familiar with the famous lawyer in Whitehorse City, Song Xi?” Xiao Feng extended his arm and gave Xu Lan a pat on the shoulder.
“Stop… Stop joking around!” Xu Lan took a step back and glared at Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng had such a serious expression on his face that no one would have thought that he was messing around with Xu Lan.
“This isn’t a joke, we’re being serious. In fact, she admitted it herself. This is why we invited Qin Lao and the rest over to help us out,” Wang Meng tried to explain the situation to Xu Lan after noticing how he seemed to be in disbelief.
Bai Wu had been scowling from when Song Xi’s name was first brought up. Unfortunately, Xu Lan did not have any attention to spare to observe Bai Wu’s reaction. If what Wang Meng said was true, Song Xi definitely had something to do with the serial killings in Whitehorse City. In fact, she might even be the person behind the Sparrow Game!
“… Any news from Laos?” After pursing his lips for a long time, Xu Lan finally found his voice.
“We have been monitoring the internet activities and we found out that someone in Laos logged onto the terminal recently. Director General Chen sent someone over to Laos to look into it, but the person never returned. Xiao Feng got in touch with Director General Chen in hopes of getting his help, but we didn’t expect the old man to send the person away and pocket his salary. Shortly after, Director General Chen was admitted to the hospital.”
Wang Meng said with a hint of disdain.
“Huh, but Song Xi is at Whitehorse City all this while! Doesn’t that show that she’s not connected to the Sparrow Game?” Xu Lan did not feel good after finding out that the proud woman could potentially be a serial killer. He felt something heavy stuck in his chest, something that he could neither swallow nor spit out.
“Given the technological convenience, she can control the game remotely in Laos, Europe, or even the United States,” Xiao Feng gave Xu Lan a merciless reality check.
“Uhm, but the IP address pointed to Laos. Even if Song Xi is the old lady, it doesn’t prove anything. We still need to look for solid evidence,” Xu Lan nodded before borrowing a lighter from Xiao Feng to light his cigarette up.
“Papa!” Bai Wu whispered gloomily with an icy expression on his face. His thin lips were tightly pursed, his silverish white hair amplified his gloominess. “You seem to be taking a close concern on matters relating to Song Xi?” he said.
Song Xi was the woman Xu Lan fell in love with. After finding out that Song Xi was the crazy woman from the Zhao family, Xu Lan cared deeply for her—how uncomfortable would this make Bai Wu feel! Black dragon’s might emanated from Bai Wu as he marched casually toward Xu Lan.
“Ugh…” Wang Meng’s tall and sturdy body withered like a deflated balloon. As Xiao Feng stepped forward to catch Wang Meng, Xiao Feng stumbled and sat on the ground. The dragon’s might hovered menacingly on top of them, making it difficult for them to breathe.
“Bai Wu, what do you think you’re doing! Hurry up and retract it!” Xu Lan felt an invisible giant palm strangling him, making it impossible for him to breathe. The entire building seemed to be drowned in Bai Wu’s dragon’s might. It was eerily quiet. Everyone found it impossible to remain standing. They stumbled and sat on the ground.
“Papa… Why do you always think about Song Xi? What’s the point of protecting these weak humans?” Xu Lan felt as though Bai Wu was walking on his beating pulse. Bai Wu lifted Xu Lan’s chin with his fair index finger as he spoke menacingly.
“Heck, what kind of nonsense are you spouting? Hurry up and retract…”
“No! Look at me! You can only look at me!” Bai Wu shouted in rage.
