Trouble

Chapter 14

Xiao Zhan's POV

Last three days was extremely busy for me. After making arrangements to send proofs to Mr. Jin Goo from Korea, I had a stressful day. I found it really exhausting that I have to keep digging up information on the devils, at the same time I have to meet with my team to discuss and help them with the case regarding Wen Chao. It is really frustrating that we have no clues regarding the team who executed the assassination of Wen Chao.

Yu Bin also contact me yesterday saying that my uncle's missing case also have no future leads. I don't know what to do with this right now. Sometimes I feel like, if officer Nie Mingjue assigned me in that case, it would have been easy and I would've been solved that case. But I know, its just my imagination, because Yu Bin was also a well talented officer and he is doing everything to solve the case which I am grateful. But still I can't help but feel the anguish. Whenever I am talking with my parents, they are asking me about uncle's case. I don't know what to say to them.

Among all these stress, I kind of finds the behavious of Miss Zoey Ming towards me weird. Is it me or is he really weird from the start, I don't know. I am so confused. She often calls me, messages me, and sometimes tries to call me for lunch or dinner, which I always turned down politely. I always told her that, I don't wanna blow up my cover. If anyone saw me having lunch with her and then, they will think I know her, somehow will find my connection towards the police department. But I don't know If these excuses are the real reasons, or is there something else.?

Unfortunately, I don't have time to think too much about these trivial matters. Sometimes I feel like eloping from this world and never look back, but I am trapped in here. I have responsibilities here. I cant fall for my selfish reasons. Among all these stress, there is one factor which keep from loosing my mind and sanity. Wang Yibo. yeah.. the same person , I refused to become friends with a few months ago. I have no idea its been more two moths, since he become my friend. I don't know why, but I always find a sense of peace and security in him. He is not that much expressive towards others. And with me, he always joke around, but I know from his eyes, he care about me. He never question me all these three days, I guess he somehow sensed that I am busy and I am frustrated. He never asked why. Instead he told me that "Zhan ge.. don't stress out. I am here.. If you are feeling exhausted just call me, I will be there to bear the weight with you, to support you.."

Oh my poor heart, his words, those are just a normal words and it did leave a great effect in me, especially on my heart.

Today is Friday and Yibo called me let me know that he is coming over to my apartment at night, as he want to tell me something.. I have a weird feeling in my stomach as I sensed that it is something serious.

Due to all the exhaustion from work I look like a zombie, who was starved all his life. So just to energise myself I decided to treat myself to coffee and cake. The day was calm and chilly. I wore warm clothes and I parked my car near the coffee shop. I went inside, ordered the coffee and went towards the table near the glass window and took a seat. From that window, it is possible to see whatever happening outside. It was really calming. Just sitting here and enjoying the coffee, while seeing so many people going here and there. As I was watching streets, I spotted two boys walking along the street happily. Their hands were intertwined, one oy was talking so spirit fully and the other was listening to it carefully. The second boy had a serious expression on his face but we can still see that he is listening very carefully to his friend's words. I guess the joyous one cracked a joke, as he was laughing so much, to which the other boy just smiled looking to the laughing one's face. The face of the serious boy is full of love for his friend, and I can see it clearly. It was a beautiful scene and it somehow made me think about Yibo.

Flashback

Me and yibo decided to take a walk in the park in the evening. It was already 8 pm, but I didn't care, neither did he. Actually I didn't ask him. Because I practically dragged him for taking a stroll. Walking always had a calming effect on me. and that day I was a dreading to go out. As yibo came to meet me that time, I took him with me. I was walking beside him and talking a lot. I don't have any idea, what was the subject. As I was busy in talking I didn't see the stone in my way, I almost tripped, but Yibo caught before I fell down.
