Chapter 540: Exciting Piece of News

In the living room, the few men were chatting happily.

Tian Danyue quietly entered the room that Huang He was residing and helped to make the bed for him.

They would need to set off before dawn the next day so they would be resting there that night.

Tian Danyue was a woman who did her housework meticulously and loved cleanliness. She had brought along a travel sheet and spread it over the bed. She also started to clean up the room.

“Danyue, don’t bother.” Huang He furrowed his eyebrows. “We’ll just be resting here for a few hours. There’s no need to trouble yourself to clean all this up.”

“Even if it was only for an hour, I want you to stay here comfortably.”

Tian Danyue turned to smile at him and continued to clean up the room.

Huang He sat on a chair and looked at her side profile. He moved his mouth but didn’t say a word. Then he removed the glove on his left hand to let the wound receive some fresh air.

The little finger he cut off had been reattached. But as he missed the best time to reattach it, it was inevitable that his little finger would have a disability.

Huang He lifted his hand for a look and tried to move his finger. Tsk! He puffed a sigh and didn’t seem to mind.

However, when Tian Danyue noticed that behavior of his, her eyes reddened in an instant. “Why are you so silly? Is this really worth it?”

Huang He let out a laugh. “It’s worth it.”

Tian Danyue: “…”

When the two of them were together, they didn’t really have a lot of things to say.

Huang He was not a blockhead who seldom talked. When he was with Fang Yuanyuan, that young lady was more vivacious. Fang Yuanyuan had so much to say that there were endless questions to answer. She would cling to him and say interesting things to him. Hence, when Huang He was with her, he would become more lively.

But Tian Danyue was different.

She was careful in her words and behavior. When the two of them were together, they hardly talked. Even if they hang out with each other for one whole day, the number of sentences they spoke to each other could be counted easily.

Another moment later, the room became quiet again.

No one talked. There were only the howling sounds of the north winds outside the old window in the room.

“Looks like there’s no way to get a bath tonight.” Tian Danyue neatened her hair, there was actually some beads of sweat on her forehead.

After that, as Huang He didn’t respond to her, she took another look at him bashfully.

“Brother Huang…”

“Mm?” Huang He was still sitting on the same chair and looked up when she called him.

Her hands were clasped gently, her bashful and uneasy behavior was a far cry from her usual smooth and slick demeanor.

“I have to stay here with you tonight.”

Stay with him tonight? Huang He looked at her, puzzled. Tian Danyue lowered her head as she felt embarrassed and continued to neaten her hair. “An Ying is someone who’s very doubtful of others.” She chuckled awkwardly. “He doesn’t really trust you and he suspected our relationship with each other. He asked me about this earlier and I’ve managed to convince him. But…”

Tian Danyue bit her lower lip and continued. “I need to stay here tonight. Otherwise, he will even be more suspicious.”

Huang He didn’t say a word.

It was not the first time that she said she needed to stay with him.

When Zhou Dequan was still alive, there was one night where everyone drank a lot of wine, she told him that she wanted to stay with him as well…

In fact, Huang He knew very well what she was thinking.

In the past, he was someone who had a girlfriend.

Now, he was, a married man.

He must know what he was doing.

Even if it was for the sake of the mission, he would never betray his marriage.

Huang He took a glance at Tian Danyue. Next, he stretched his legs, crossed his arms and closed his eyes. “It’s just a couple of hours. I’ll sit here for a nap. You take the bed!”

His words of rejection were straight to the point.

Tian Danyue went stiff in that instant.

Nothing was more devastating to a woman’s fragile self-esteem than this.

She looked at Huang He for a long time, so long that Huang He felt her scorching hotline of sight on him was about to burn then she just gave a smile.

“Alright then, sorry for the trouble.”

Tian Danyue laid on the bed with her clothes fully intact and covered herself with the quilt.

Huang He didn’t open his eyes.

Then the lights were off.

…

Before daybreak, Xiang Wan was awakened by the mobile phone message notifications of Bai Muchuan’s phone. He had put his phone beside his pillow.

Several messages were sent in succession. Hence, it was the same for the notifications as well then followed by a reminder beep.

The beeping sounds went off consecutively, then all was silent again.

Who is that? What’s with so many messages so early in the morning … Xiang Wan’s brain was groggy and wanted to go back to sleep when she realized her man had gotten out of bed and began to get dressed up.

Xiang Wan was immediately alerted and sat up on the bed. “Did something happen?”

Bai Muchuan turned to look at her. His handsome face seemed cold, as though dyed by the dim room. “Nothing much, you should go back to sleep.”

He said ‘nothing’ again.

Did men habitually like to keep women out of their matters?

Xiang Wan did not know if she should get angry or laugh at him. “Your face has already told me there is something going on. And it’s not a trivial matter! Come on, fess up and don’t lie to me.”

Bai Muchuan was startled for a moment then he laughed. “Huang He sent several messages. I need to go back to the office right now.”

“Eh?”

Xiang Wan suddenly felt tense.

Bai Muchuan had been feeling anxious since he came back last night. Even when it was bedtime, he was tossing and turning in bed.

This was because he was unable to get hold of Huang He.

Only Bai Muchuan had been keeping in contact with Huang He secretly. No one else knew about this. It was not convenient for Bai Muchuan to look for him so conspicuously. Therefore, he brought the mobile phone from the office back with him. Even when he slept, the mobile phone was beside him as he quietly waited.

This was a critical period.

That day, was the 28th day of the twelfth month in the Lunar Calendar.

In just two days time, it would be their Lunar New Year.

Their instincts told them that the new Dark Clan backed by some unknown foreign forces would present a ‘huge’ gift to the police during Lunar New Year. The initial ‘zombie’ cases related to Operation Heaven’s Wrath were really meager and trivial, similar to a new product that was ‘testing’ the market. The Dark Clan would most likely create something really shocking to let everyone knew of their presence… Hence, besides ensuring the security work would be carried out as usual during their Festive Season, they were also eager to learn more about the situation so as prevent the execution of Operation Heaven’s Wrath in the bud.

The news that Huang He sent was certainly timely.

“What did he say?” Xiang Wan couldn’t wait to learn more about it and was so excited that she also got out of bed.

“What are you doing?” Bai Muchuan was not pleased to see her getting so excited. “Hurry up and get back to sleep! It’s not even five in the morning. Do sleep more.”

“I can’t sleep already. I want to follow you to the office. I’ve been given a position and I should do my part too. You will need me. Trust me…” Xiang Wan looked at him seriously. “Quick! Share with me what Huang He told you.”

Last night, Xiang Wan had already published the chapter with the title “Cui Yingying’s Threat” but so far, nothing had happened regarding this.

She was restless, anxious and eager to know of any news about Operation Heaven’s Wrath as well.

Bai Muchuan patted her head as he knew he couldn’t stop her.

“Put on more clothes. We’ll talk along the way!”

“Okay!” Xiang Wan made an ‘okay’ gesture in excitement.
