Wu Shanshan’s interest piqued when she started talking about the case. “Little Long, you have no idea how cunning this guy is. The woman who reported the crime didn’t have a scratch on her. We were unable to extract any valuable evidence from her. Moreover, the most baffling thing is that none of them remember anything about being assaulted as if that memory was erased. They only realized they had been violated afterward…”
“Hmm, Fatty, don’t worry. I will catch the culprit for you tonight,” Huang Xiaolong said while thumping his chest.
Although Huang Xiaolong hadn’t been to the dinosaur amusement park yet, he was already making a promise… well, from his perspective, there’s no case in the world he can’t solve! He doesn’t even need any evidence!
After saying this, Huang Xiaolong chuckled. “Come on, Fatty, give me a kiss.”
“Tch– No way,” Wu Shanshan shyly refused. “Unless you can solve this case for me tonight. If you manage to do so, you can kiss me however you like. How does that sound?”
“Really?” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes lit up. “Fatty, are you serious?”
“Do I, Wu Shanshan, seem like the type to go back on my word?” Wu Shanshan pouted.
“Great! That’s awesome!” Huang Xiaolong excitedly clapped his hands. “Then how about I give you another massage?”
“Taking advantage!” Wu Shanshan put on a stern face but then couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, I agree!”
“Fatty, let me have a little preview.”
Watching Wu Shanshan’s abashing beauty, Huang Xiaolong’s heart fluttered…
He reached out, put his arm around her neck…
Gently pressed her head down…
And planted a kiss right on her captivating lips.
Wu Shanshan’s eyes widened…
She put up a token fight…
But then quickly closed her eyes…
Immersed in an intoxicating world of roses.
The kiss was so intense they completely lost themselves in it…
Suddenly…
“Ahem– Haven’t you two had enough yet?” came Mother Wu’s voice as a reminder. “Mind the time, young lovers, and try not to stick to each other all day. It’s not even dark outside yet. However, I understand the charms of love.”
Wu Shanshan quickly let go, gently pushed Huang Xiaolong away, scrambled out from Huang Xiaolong’s hold, got up, bowed her head looking at Mother Wu, “Mom, we didn’t do anything.”
“Puu—Oh, please, pretending like I am blind. Did nothing? Okay, enough, stop defending yourself, and don’t forget to buy some emergency contraceptives later.” Saying this, Mother Wu turned and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
“It’s all your fault! All your fault!” Wu Shanshan accused Huang Xiaolong, stomping her feet angrily. “You promised you wouldn’t kiss me until you solve the case tonight, you’re not a man of your word!”
“Tsk, Fatty, weren’t you enjoying it just now? Why are you blaming me now?” Huang Xiaolong retorted innocently.
“You dare to say it!” Wu Shanshan, unconvinced, pushed Huang Xiaolong onto the bed.
The passionate kissing resumed.
Dinner time.
Mother Wu’s cooking was superb, and she prepared a whole table full of delicious food.
Sweet and sour pork ribs, white cut chicken, roast goose, braised pork with preserved vegetables…
Huang Xiaolong ate heartily, although his manner of eating was a bit unsightly.
“Eat slower! There’s no one competing with you!” Wu Shanshan chastised Huang Xiaolong.
“Auntie’s cooking skills are really wonderful, it’s delicious.” Huang Xiaolong said with a full mouth, then continued his hearty lunge into the food.
Mother Wu laughed. “Little Huang, if you like my cooking, you’re always welcome to come over and eat, even daily. I’m always happy to have you.”
“Come, Little Huang, let’s have a few drinks.” Wu’s father poured Huang Xiaolong a drink.
Wu’s parents treated Huang Xiaolong warmly, like he was their son-in-law.
A simple meal made it feel like they were already a family.
As if Huang Xiaolong was already a part of it.
“Dad! Don’t let him drink. We’ve got something important to do later,” Wu Shanshan hurriedly took Huang Xiaolong’s cup away.
“Yes, Uncle, we have official duties to attend to later. We’ll make it up to you another time. When Fatty gets reinstated, we’ll take you out for a good meal.” Huang Xiaolong smiled.
“Alright then.” Wu’s father didn’t insist and helped himself, “Little Huang, remember to take care of Shanshan. She’s been stubborn since she was a kid, but don’t worry. If she gives you any trouble, just tell me and your aunt, we’ll sort her out!”
“Dad!” Wu Shanshan blushed. “Are you selling me out? Also, you guys don’t know what he’s like, I won’t be arguing with him anytime soon. He’s very shrewd.”
“My girl, make sure to take care of each other.” Mother Wu stroked Wu Shanshan’s hair dramatically, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked like she was about to send her daughter off to marriage.
Watching her mother tear up, Wu Shanshan felt emotional, her voice choked up as she said, “Mom, I… I won’t make you worry anymore, I’ll be alright.”
8 p.m.
As night fell, the sunset in the city had faded, and the air was filled with a warm dampness.
On the outskirts of the city, the dewy mist made everything seem hazy: the trees, the grass, it all seemed like ghosts, providing a creepy atmosphere.
The dinosaur theme park was located in the suburbs.
This so-called dinosaur theme park was an original dinosaur animated theme park.
Aside from a variety of dinosaur models, it also had roller coasters, Ferris wheels, free-fall rides, pirate ships, thrilling rides, and other attractions popular among the visitors.
However, the most famous attraction in the dinosaur theme park was—the haunted house!
This haunted house was not only the most famous in Binhai but also among the most prominent ones in the nation!
The design of the haunted house created a truly immersive experience, showcasing the designer’s determination to scare visitors out of their wits.
It’s reported that it takes approximately 12 hours to exit this haunted house. The setting includes scenes from horror movies, getting splashed with fake blood, being tied up, forced to eat rotten eggs, and even being trapped in a cage filled with snakes.
So far, no one has made it through the haunted house—as a result, even some retired Special Forces soldiers and active-duty U.S. Marines ended up on the failure list, causing numerous robust men to shed tears.
“Little Long, based on our findings, all the female assault cases occurred in this haunted house! Therefore, we’ll head straight into the haunted house! I’ve already contacted the owner of the dinosaur theme park who is the primary suspect. Tonight, he’s going to lead us into the haunted house…” Wu Shanshan turned solemn and a bit nervous.
“Oh… alright, Fatty.” Huang Xiaolong drove, contemplating—
‘All the assault cases occurred in the haunted house… Could it be that there are really ghosts in play? Wow… I’m so excited!’
