Murder the Dream Guy

Everyone now understood what was happening.

This fellow might have a grudge against Mei Xin for ignoring him, the “most good-looking man in the entire universe” previously.

Watching how Mei Xin’s face turned pale, Xiang Wan couldn’t help propping a hand on her forehead.

“Captain Quan, is it because… the braised meat today is not nice?”

Originally, she had wanted to defend Mei Xin.

However, she wasn’t too sure about Mei Xin’s feelings toward Cheng Zheng as well.

Both of them were together every day, and they were almost inseparable.

Cheng Zheng was considered an elite. Did Mei Xin really feel nothing for him?

In fact, she had thought the same as Quan Shaoteng.

It was just, by saying it so blatantly in front of so many people, whether Mei Xin had felt anything for Cheng Zheng, the situation was now very awkward.

Quan Shaoteng lowered to look at his food tray. “Braised meat? Did it annoy you or something? I’m talking about Cheng Zheng and Mei Xin! Teacher Xiang, can’t you be more mindful?”

Xiang Wan did not speak a word “…”

His emotional intelligence!

“Captain Quan,” said Xiang Wan, “regarding this matter… there might really be a misunderstanding.”

Mei Xin replied, “Captain Cheng wouldn’t like someone else.”

Both of their words almost came out at the same time.

After that, without waiting for Quan Shaoteng to reply to her, Mei Xin added another sentence calmly. “Captain Cheng has someone whom he likes.”

Xiang Wan saw that Bai Muchuan’s expression became brooding, and she turned away to pretend that she had heard nothing.

Luckily, although Mei Xin was very frank, she was still sensible.

She did not continue that topic but only directed her unhappiness at Quan Shaoteng. “In short, if Captain Cheng was with another woman, it was not a date, neither was he lewd. It must have been work-related.”

When Quan Shaoteng saw that she defended Cheng Zheng, it puzzled him.

Wasn’t this obvious enough that she clearly liked Cheng Zheng?

Why didn’t she admit it?

He gave a snort and raised an eyebrow while looking a little crafty. “Do you understand him that well?”

Mei Xin saw the mischief in his eyes. She felt that his smile was full of evil intent and started to feel her eyes getting warm.

“Captain Cheng is someone who loves his job. He knows what he is doing. He’s different from people like you.”

“Me… What about me?”

“A dandy that knows… nothing.”

Mei Xin had said that softly.

However, it was audible enough for them to hear it.

Quan Shaoteng immediately pulled a long face. He felt that he was being insulted.

“What did you say!? Tell me what do you mean by that!”

Mei Xin then explained what she meant.

“I’ve never seen another detective that idles as much as you.”

Without waiting to see Quan Shaoteng’s reaction, she took her food tray and left.

Xiang Wan called out to her. “Mei Xin…”

Mei Xin replied, “I’m full.”

She did not sit at another table, but actually poured away the contents of her food tray and walked out of the canteen.

“…”

That made the rest looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

“This is awkward, Captain Quan…”

Tang Yuanchu could tell how Quan Shaoteng was feeling. To alleviate the atmosphere, he passed a piece of tissue to him.

“Don’t be sad. Although you’ve lost for now, you’ll get a chance in the future. Hold your tears, you’ll definitely win one day!”

“Just scram!” Quan Shaoteng glare at him and brushed his hand with the tissue away.

He wouldn’t cry at all.

He wanted to diss so badly instead.

“This woman must be crazy!”

He was trying to help by warning her but got scorned instead.

“D*mmit, I’m so unlucky like a dog!”

Tang Yuanchu looked at him a little meekly. “Cough, the dog lovers association sent a letter of protest!”

After puffing a sigh, he tried to pass the tissue to Quan Shaoteng again. “Captain Quan, it’s better that you cry. Don’t bottle it up.”

Salimu could not agree with his views and reproved Tang Yuanchu seriously. “What rubbish nonsense are you spouting? It’s just about a girl rebutting him, and it’s not the first time she did so. Why would Captain Quan cry?”

That felt like another stab at the wound.

Tang Yuanchu smiled at Salimu.

“Brother, you use either ‘rubbish’ or ‘nonsense’, don’t put both together at the same time.”

“Orh, so what nonsense are you spouting?”

“Enough, you two!” Quan Shaoteng looked gloomy while he stared at the two in annoyance. “I’ll…”

Click! The plastic chopsticks in his hands broke into two.

This startled Tang Yuanchu and Salimu, they immediately stopped talking.

That pair of chopsticks he broke were solid, it was not the soft disposable type.

He could break them like that directly. That meant this really infuriated him.

They had been working together for so long, and Quan Shaoteng had always been someone who loves to crack jokes and could certainly take it when he was the subject of their jokes.

He had been born into an influential family but was very easy to get along with.

However, he had never been this angry before.

But now…

Tang Yuanchu and Salimu looked at each other; they dared not say a word more.

“Let’s eat, don’t be in a daze.” Xiang Wan was a woman, after all. This was the perfect time to come out and ease the atmosphere. She looked at them, puffed a sigh, and smiled. “It’s not the first day all of us knew each other; we all know how each other’s temperament is. Mei Xin’s like that—frank, serious and straightforward. Don’t joke with her going ahead…”

“Who’s bleeping joking with her?” Quan Shaoteng was still angry.

However, he quickly realized that Xiang Wan was Bai Muchuan’s girlfriend and he shouldn’t have shouted at her. He let out a snort and rolled his eyes. That was a sign that he had calmed down.

“She’s crazy!”

“…”

Everyone stayed silent.

Quan Shaoteng gave it a thought and looked at Bai Muchuan seriously.

“Little Bai, I need to trouble you to give me more quality work in the future lest I idle around!”

“…”

This young master was really agitated.

In Red Thorn, his code name was Snow Wolf, Captain of the Scorpion Team.

He had carried out various anti-terrorism and anti-riot tasks.

He had dashed through a hail of bullets and achieved countless contributions to the country.

Nobody had ever said that he was a dandy.

Nobody dared to do so!

However, Mei Xin said it.

Not only that, but he was being criticized as someone who “knows nothing”. How could he tolerate it?

“I’m not eating!”

He threw his tray onto the floor and left.

This ended on a sour note.

Xiang Wan felt helpless.

“This is my first day at work, and this is how I’m being welcomed…”

…

Afternoon.

It was still the usual stressful job.

Xiang Wan completed and proofread her profiling analysis she started in the morning and sent it to Bai Muchuan’s mailbox.

Since there was nothing for her to do in the meantime, she wanted to do some personal work.

However, when she opened her reader chat group, she saw what everyone was talking about.

“The movie ‘Before Doomsday’ is being ordered to stop showing on all cinemas.”

Under tremendous public controversy, the foreign blockbuster, that many had been anticipating, was being sacrificed because of a few homicide cases. It had only been shown for a week.

There were mixed reactions to its removal from the cinemas.

Thus, that triggered another round of controversy.

There were a few online media on various social platforms that even started an online argument with each other just because of differing opinions.

A debate.

A heated debate.

Modern people nowadays couldn’t live without the Internet.

Hence, countless netizens involved themselves in it.

Those who watched it felt satisfied.

Those who haven’t watched it felt regret.

Many netizens felt that the movie had been made to bear the brunt and Meng Entertainment Group was unlucky to have encountered such an incident.

Amidst the vehement argument on the Internet, someone revealed some shocking news…

Last month, there was a change in Meng Entertainment Group’s largest shareholder—Meng Chi’s name had been changed to Xie Wanwan.

Such a finding was even more astounding than the order to stop “Before Doomsday” from being screened in cinemas.

Xie Wanwan was currently at the film set of “The Grey List”. Nonetheless, her gossips and scandals seemed to make a comeback.

… What is the relation between Meng Chi and Xie Wanwan?…

… Meng Entertainment Group…

… The progress of Meng Chi’s case…

… Will Meng Chi be sentenced to death?

… How did Xie Wanwan get hold of the shares of Meng Entertainment Group?

… Is there a relation between Meng Chi’s case and the “zombie” case?

… There seemed to be a bigger conspiracy behind all these…

All kinds of hot topics suddenly took over all the top trending spots.

Like a sudden storm…
