“Please excuse him, he’s like that,” Xiao Feng mentioned.

“Nah, I think he’s quite interesting,” Xu Lan laughed and said, at least he was more interesting than the police station.

“Huh, him? What are you working with? I’ll ask my men to clear out this space for you,” Xiao Feng walked over to take a look and said without asking any further questions.

“It’s sufficient, Officer Xiao. Let me put it in this way, even if I manage to screen through all of these, I may not discover anything at all.”

“Haha, I know. Carry on with your work. I have matters to attend to. Let’s have lunch later,” Xiao Feng said laughingly.

“Okay, thanks, Officer Xiao.” The only person left in the room was Xu Lan and a bunch of files that were messed up. ‘It’s not that easy to find a lead, you know?’ Xu Lan thought to himself and laughed. He then shrugged his shoulders and squatted down to rearrange the files.

His efforts had not been fruitful throughout the day, the organization of the files was also yet to be completed. The thing was, Xu Lan just finished compiling the files when Wang Biao carried a fan over. ‘Whoosh…whoosh…’ the strong wind blew at the files up into the air and slowly fall down like willows.

“Biao Zi!” Xu Lan yelled loudly. It did not matter whether he had a good intention or did it unintentionally. His working schedule and working environment were severely messed up by him.

“Uhm… The… The weather’s too hot, I wanted to bring you a fan.” Wang Biao stared at Xu Lan apologetically.

Xu Lan did not know whether to cry or laugh when he saw the distressed expression on Wang Biao’s face. He had to retract that statement made in the morning. Not only did he looked like he was a hulking man, he was indeed hulking under most circumstances!

Both of them picked up the files again and started chatting away. Time passed without them noticing it. When Xiao Feng dropped by to remind Xu Lan to get off from work, his expression changed right away into a stern glance when he saw Wang Biao was there.

“Brother… Brother Feng.” Wang Biao stood up in fear and lowered his head to avoid his gaze.

For quite some time, Xu Lan wondered why Wang Biao, who was so popular among others, became a trembling bunny before a tiger whenever he encountered Xiao Feng.

“It’s time to leave the office, Xiao Xu,” Xiao Feng said.

“Okay, let me keep these files.” Xu Lan stole a glance off his cell phone. It was only five in the evening, how punctual they were reporting off duty!

Xiao Feng nodded without paying much attention to him, instead, he turned toward Wang Biao and said, “You, come over here.”

Wang Biao followed Xiao Feng to the balcony outside fearfully.

Xu Lan’s cell phone started ringing, it was from Bai Wu’s teacher. Although Bai Wu had only learned up to the level of a sixth grader, it was a great achievement for him. The teacher advised Xu Lan to encourage Bai Wu and buy some exercise books and study materials to let him study at home.

Xu Lan frowned and agreed to it, before following up with the teacher to ask about the fees. His teacher said that it would depend on the subsequent situation. Xu Lan would receive a huge amount of fund along with a contract if Bai Wu performed well.

While Xu Lan hung up embarrassedly, Wang Biao rushed in from the balcony and ran out. While he was on the way out, he knocked over the files which Xu Lan took great effort to rearrange. From then onward, Xu Lan decided to distance himself from Wang Biao, as he was his nemesis!

Not long after, Xiao Feng walked into the room. His mood was much lighter than before, it was most likely because he just lectured Wang Biao. However, Wang Biao’s endurance was so poor that he could not even take in a few words of scoldings.

‘Tsk.’ Xu Lan made a mental sigh and shook his head.

“You should go home earlier, didn’t you mention that you have a kid back home? Classes should be over by now,” Xiao Feng said while he gently stroked the corner of his mouth with his thumb.
