The bureau had absolutely no leads to Xiang Xin’s death, and at the same time, Mr. Xiang was found dead and Mo Xue’er went missing. The case became more complicated than ever, and as the director of the municipal bureau, Gao Ran was under a lot of pressure.

It wasn’t until Qin Chu came looking for him and told him about Ian that Gao Ran understood what was going on.

They went to a coffee shop near the bureau and sat down. Gao Ran’s eyes widened after he heard everything Qin Chu had to say. “Chu, you’re saying that Ian orchestrated all three incidents?”

“He’s the only one capable of doing something like this.”

“But it doesn’t make sense, he doesn’t have a motive… The Xiang Family has no connections to Ian, why would he kill Mr. Xiang and Xiang Xin?”

“He might not have connections to the Xiang Family, but he is well acquainted with Huo Siqian.” Qin Chu was pretty calm.

“You think Huo Siqian asked Ian to deal with the Xiang Family and Mo Xue’er?”

“I’m not 100% sure about that, but I am sure that Ian’s here, and he’s the one behind all these incidents.” Qin Chu was certain it was Ian. He knew how crazy and inhumane that man was.

“No wonder the witnesses said Xiang Xin left with a few foreigners.”

“It doesn’t matter if you know it’s him, you won’t be able to catch him,” Qin Chu took a small sip of his coffee and said slowly.

“I know… Even the FBI can’t do anything about that terrorist, I obviously would never be able to catch him… I just don’t want anyone else in our city to die.” Gao Chuan was really worried.

Gao Ran felt pressured; after all, C City was under his jurisdiction and if more people died, what was he supposed to tell the provincial officials?

“We’ll see if Mo Xue’er has any luck left for her.” Qin Chu had a feeling that Mo Xue’er was already dead.

“Maybe she’ll be the last to suffer from this series of tragedies…” Gao Ran sighed.

“Did you discover anything new with Huo Siqian?” Qin Chu looked up and asked.

“No… he’s surprisingly quiet, and his schedule is even more of a routine than a high school student’s – home, office, home, office… We’ve been monitoring his calls and discovered nothing.”

“Sometimes, nothing suspicious is what’s most suspicious…” Qin Chu analyzed calmly.

“You’re right, that’s what Huo Mian said. We also noticed that Huo Mian called Huo Siqian,” Gao Ran said.

“Oh? My wife called him?” Qin Chu asked, a little surprised.

“Mhm, I think she thinks Huo Siqian did it, she warned him not to do anything rash. I’m sure she’s weirded out by these incidents as well.”

“What did Huo Siqian say?” Qin Chu asked.

Gao Ran smiled helplessly. “He’s a sly old fox, he knows we’re monitoring his calls so naturally, he didn’t admit to anything. But the way he spoke to Mian… it gave me goosebumps.”

“You should get your men to investigate quietly, see if you can figure out where Mo Xue’er is. You didn’t find her body yet, which means she might still be alive… Or, maybe Ian wants her alive on purpose, for now.” Qin Chu made a bold guess.
