In the mountains in the early morning, the fog was thick and the road was difficult to walk.
Two police cars were driving through the mountains, driving very fast, without stopping for a moment.
"Boss, we're only five kilometers away from Xu Zuming's hometown."
"Yeah. You can hurry up!" Bai Muchuan looked at his wristwatch, his eyes turned cold.
After a while, he seemed to think of something, and frowned at Huang He again, "Stop calling me boss. I won't lead you."
"Haha." Huang He laughed loudly, "No, no, one day is a head, and a lifetime is a head. You are not here, what I, the acting captain, is doing... is very boring. Boss, why don't you come back? I just like to work under your leadership, I feel at ease, with you behind me, I am not afraid of any cases. You are not here, I feel a little nervous... "
Bai Muchuan: "Promise!"
Huang He chuckled, leaned back on the car, and said lazily: "I'm really not good for anything. Especially now that I have a wife, I like stability even more... Our line of business sounds noble. In fact, it is also a hard work. It comes and goes in the wind and rain, and there are some ups and downs. I am afraid that my daughter-in-law will live with me in fear... "
Bai Muchuan turned his dark eyes sideways and looked at him for a long time.
Several times Huang He felt that he was about to say something.
As a result, Bai Muchuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he only hummed.
"Virtue! Become a wife and slave sooner or later!"
"And you. Boss, you..."
Huang He wanted to sound out Fang Yuanyuan's tone and ask him what he thought of Xiang Wan. If he didn't like it, why did he hurry back from the airport—
However, Bai Muchuan suddenly leaned over to the window, looked at the dark mountains and hills, compared the map, and gave orders slowly.
"There is one kilometer ahead, slow down and increase the distance... Try not to expose the target."
"Yes, boss."
…
The cottage in the mountains is quiet and cool.
A group of criminal police sneaked in from the osmanthus and bamboo forest.
The people in the house were still asleep, and a few of Xu Zuming's subordinates were also asleep on the car in the yard.
They were unattended and defenseless.
Bai Muchuan observed for a while, then waved slowly.
"superior!"
The action team that came out this time are all the most effective members of the Criminal Investigation Brigade. The young men are all energetic and have guns on their bodies. There is no suspense against Xu Zuming. What's more, the other party seems to have no intention of resisting at all. , Seeing them appear, completely dazed in a sleepy state.
"Excuse me, forgive me, brother policeman. No, what did I do?"
"...Yeah, we didn't do anything."
"Here, when did the police come?"
A group of people were detained there, without knowing why.
Bai Muchuan led his people to search inside and out, but Xiang Wan was nowhere to be found.
His face was ashen, and the wind brought out when he stepped over the threshold was cold and piercing.
"Where are people?"
He looked at Xu Zuming who was sitting on the edge of the bed without saying a word.
Xu Zuming sighed, "Officer, who are you looking for?"
Bai Muchuan narrowed his eyes, with a strong murderous look floating on his face, "Xiang Wan."
Xu Zuming pointed to the room inside, "She sleeps in it, doesn't she?"
of course not.
Bai Muchuan's heart sank.
Did she find a way to escape by herself
Or is Xu Zuming lying
Bai Muchuan slowly inspected the house, frowning.
"Huang He, give me a good interrogation. Tang Yuanchu, let's find each other separately!"
…
The mountains are very foggy.
The dew on the grass wets the shoes.
A ray of sunlight emerges from the top of the mountain, and the air is fresh.
Xiang Wan took a deep breath and began to climb trees to pick osmanthus—
The osmanthus trees here are all old, with thick trunks and luxuriant branches.
Xiang Wan wore a floral apron, put the picked osmanthus in it, and was so intoxicated by himself—
The tree was within reach, and it was gone.
She fumbled in her pocket and slid down holding the tree trunk—
On the shoulder, someone patted him suddenly.
"Ah!" Xiang Wan screamed, looking back at the man's face, "You—"
Bai Muchuan.
Why is he here
Xiang Wan's brain was short-circuited, and his logic was blocked.
She stayed there, looking at him stupidly.
Bai Muchuan let go suddenly, his brows and eyes almost frosted, "Xiang Wan, may I ask you, what are you doing here?"
Xiang Wan was still in shock at seeing him, "Picking osmanthus?"
Bai Muchuan: "What are you doing picking osmanthus?"
Xiang Wan murmured, "Xu Zhaodi will be buried soon at dawn. I have nothing to give away. It's a good idea to pick some of her mother's favorite sweet-scented osmanthus. I hope she will have a good reincarnation and stop marrying a scumbag. It will harm others and herself..."
Hearing her long speech, Bai Muchuan laughed angrily.
"Ma'am, do you know that you have been kidnapped?"
Xiang Wan frowned, looking a little embarrassed, "Is there? It seems... not counting, right?"
"Ah!"
Bai Muchuan laughed lowly, turned around and left.
"Forehead!"
Xiang Wan rubbed his nose and followed.
…
In the yard, Xu Zuming and his subordinates have all been subdued by the people brought by Huang He.
Looking at the two police cars parked behind the house, Xiang Wan realized that things had changed.
"No, you!" She turned her head to look at Bai Muchuan, "You shouldn't be here."
"Where should I be, can you tell me?"
Of course, Bai Muchuan would not tell her about the 24-hour rescue of her.
Not to mention telling her what he did for her.
He lowered his head and looked down at her with an absolute advantage of more than 20 centimeters taller, "Xiang Wan, you can write bestsellers with your brain. That means readers are blind!"
"...!"
Xiang Wan rubbed her forehead and rolled her eyes.
"If you lose it, you can lose it. You can say it as much as you can write it."
Bai Muchuan snorted, but without answering, walked over to call Huang He.
"How's the trial going?"
Several men lowered their heads and were being questioned. Xu Zuming was whispering something to Huang He.
Seeing Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan, who was covered in sweet-scented osmanthus, returning leisurely, Huang He was also taken aback.
"Teacher Xiang, are you okay?"
Xiang Wan shook his head, always feeling something was wrong, but couldn't tell.
With a sigh of relief, Huang He turned around and called Bai Muchuan aside, and said, "Xu Zuming said that he had obtained Xiang Wan's consent to ask her to bury his daughter Xu Zhaodi, and then asked her to make amends in front of the grave before sending her back. There is no malice towards her—he also asked, even if he wants to punish him, he will wait for him to finish today's funeral."
Bai Muchuan raised his chin, and glanced at Xiang Wan's pale face that hadn't slept well.
"yes?"
Xiang Wan pursed her lips uncomfortably, thought about it, and nodded.
"That's right."
Bai Muchuan sneered, "You're quite self-conscious, so you agree with this cooperation?"
Xiang Wan raised his sleeves and smelled the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus. His mood was completely different from when he came yesterday.
"For an old man who lost his only child, it's not that he asks too much, so I'll count it as a good deed."
Bai Muchuan looked at her silently, then suddenly walked over and stroked her head.
"Very smart. Girls are in a dangerous situation, and you have to be subdued when you should subdue..."
"Hey, what are you doing?" Xiang Wan noticed his fingers moving back and forth on his head, and clapped his hands embarrassedly.
"Don't move!" Bai Muchuan took an unremarkable sweet-scented osmanthus flower from her hair and spread it in the palm of his hand.
The sweet-scented osmanthus is very small, a complete flower, with clear borders of petals, a faint golden color, and a quiet fragrance...
"Is it fragrant?" He asked suddenly.
"Fragrant." After Xiang Wan nodded seriously, he realized that there was a strange emotion deep in his black eyes.
It seems that the question is not whether the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant...
