My Boyfriend Is A Dragon

“Uh, it’s in the past. There’s no point talking about it now,” the smile on Xu Lan’s face froze as he replied.

Xiao Feng nodded and pushed the files over.

“These are given by Group Leader Meng and they contain information relating to the cases. Let’s see if we can find anything related to the mine at Chengdu or if there’s any similarity between them at all.”

“Uh.” Xu Lan looked at the huge pile of files before him and glanced at Xiao Feng again.

At this rate, everyone would be overworked. Xu Lan just got back from another world after working overtime there for ten days straight. All he wanted was some good rest.

“Why? Group Leader Meng, can I have him until the case is solved?” Xiao Feng offered as he thought Xu Lan felt inconvenienced working under Meng Chengjun.

“Sure! Sure!” Meng Chengjun replied hurriedly. He seemed relieved as this was exactly how he wanted things to turn out.

“Alright, all set! As this is a special case, we’ve decided to shift our base of operations to the city of Whitehorse. We’re still in the midst of deciding on a location. I’ll inform you once we’ve settled down,” said Xiao Feng.

Xu Lan was raging inside — he wished that someone at least asked for his opinion! If he stole Meng Chengjun’s thunder, Baldie Chen is going to give him a hard time. In fact, life had not been going Xu Lan’s way ever since Meng Chengjun’s arrival.

However, Meng Chengjun had been nothing but nice and tolerant. He went against Director General Chen on multiple occasions for Xu Lan’s sake.

This was the reason behind the strange atmosphere at the station. There was no doubt that everyone hated Director General Chen. However, Meng Chengjun was not as repulsive. He was friendly and approachable, most people found it hard to hate him.

‘Darn!’ Xu Lan cursed internally.

“Uhm, do I have to stay there at night?” asked Xu Lan.

“There’s no need for that. After all, you live nearby. We’re only looking for a place to stay for convenience’s sake, nothing more,” replied Xiao Feng.

“Ah, okay,” Xu Lan said hesitantly.

He was expecting some free time after his reinstatement. He assumed that Lao Chen would be reluctant to hand the case over to him as Meng Chengjun held all of the important information. He did not expect Baldie Chen to pull such a stunt on him. He ended up working with people who would pull all-nighters in the name of justice. He wondered when the hectic days would finally come to an end.

“Is this inconvenient for you? You will only need to follow-up briefly. After all, Group Leader Meng is going to continue his investigation as well. I need you here for the lead relating to the mine. My team can handle the rest,” Xiao Feng said.

“Not at all! I just wanted to stay close to my house as I have a child at home,” Xu Lan explained.

“Child? No worries, I’ll tell them about it. Don’t worry about it, I’ll cater to all of your needs,” Xiao Feng nodded as he spoke. Xiao Feng was a handsome man who exuded the charm of maturity.

Xu Lan dimmed in comparison. He was in his thirties and yet his looks suggested that he was in his forties.

“Thank you, Officer Xiao,” said Xu Lan.

“So, this has been decided on. We’ve sorted out everything and I’ll get going. Group Leader Meng, let’s work well together in the days to come!” Xiao Feng stood up to shake Meng Chengjun’s hand.

“Of course, of course. Just let me know if you need anything, we will try our best to satisfy your needs,” Meng Chengjun said earnestly as he held Xiao Feng’s hands.

“Alright. Director General Chen is still waiting for me downstairs and I shall leave now.” Xiao Feng reached for his briefcase and made his way out.
