When A Snail Falls In Love

Chapter 44.1

This summer, Northern Myanmar was scorching hot and the people were feeling anxious. Meanwhile, in Lin City, it was warm and pleasant.

The air-conditioning at the police station was on at full blast, with the cool air circulatingwithin the building, and where people could feel a slight chill. Recently, there hadn't been any major cases; hence the office was quiet and orderly, with everyone enjoying a leisurely pace.

Zhao Han retrieved some information from the fax machine, and joyfully proclaimed: "Good news from Myanmar! The chief and the others have taken down over 10 of Brother Lu's strongholds in the past few days, and arrested 40 henchmen. Only Brother Lu managed to escape and they are searching for her throughout the country."

Lao Wu smiled and said: "We can prepare a celebration feast." Everyone laughed on hearing his words. In the midst of the enthusiastic discussion, Lao Wu's eyes fell on Yao Meng, who was sitting opposite him. She did not join in the discussion, neither did she raise her head. A faint smile was on her pale, elegant face.

When it was time to knock off, Da Hu said to Yao Meng: "Xiao Yao, can you give me the report you've been working on tomorrow morning?"

Yao Meng had already shut down the computer and picked up her bag. She smiled at him and said: "I'll do my best" before leaving.

Soon, there were fewer people in the office. Zhao Han mused forthrightly: "Why do I feel as if Yao Meng's work has not been up to standard recently?"

Da Hu stood by the window and lookeddownstairs. Yao Meng was walking towards a Rolls Royce parked on the road outside the station. The driver got out to open the car door for her, and she smiled sweetly at the person inside before gracefully getting in.

"She's found a sugar daddy," Da Hu murmured. "No wonder she's decided to slack off work."

Lao Wu sighed and said: "I approached her, but she was not willing to talk about it. Children that are very good but naive, never stay for long."

Zhao Han was a little taken aback: "You mean - Yao Meng is planning to resign?"

Lao Wu did not reply and Da Hu scoffed: "It's so obvious. Can't you see it? Her heart isn't here anymore."

As the sun was setting, the afterglow made Mai Zha City look more peaceful in comparison to recent times.

Along the street where the formerly bustling casinos stood, many buildings were now closedand deserted. After several days of soul-shaking panic and continuous gunshots, the local residents were finally experiencing a period of calm.

After Xu Xu had sorted out the data related to the final criminal, she realised that her eyes were so tired that she could no longer see clearly. She walked to the window to stretch her weary body, and witnessed Ji Bai and several other Interpol officers getting out of a car upon returning to the hotel.

The arrests had reached a successful conclusion. Sun Pu (was Sun Ting in previous chapters) had left the previous day with 4 Interpol officers to continue the pursuit of Brother Lu while Ji Bai, Xu Xu and 5 others stayed behind in Mai Zha City to tie up loose ends.

Xu Xu smiled slightly, leisurely walked to the wash basin to wash her hands, retrieved the first aid kit and waited. After a short while, she received Ji Bai's text message: "Come over if you have time."

After his previous rescue mission, Ji Bai's entire body had been covered with bruises and he had suffered several flesh wounds as well. The worst had been a deep knife cut on his left shoulder. In this hot and humid weather, the wound was prone to infection, hence, Xu Xu and Ji Bai were especially careful with it.
