Author's POV

Xiao Zhan was sitting in front of his PC and staring blankly at it without any expression. The unfinished report papers were scattered on the table. Xiao Zhan sat there with his hands kept in his lap. His breathing was subtle and his eyes were devoid of any emotions.

"Xiao Zhan.." The sound of Li Bowen tore him from his trance and he looked at Li Bowen with an empty eyes.

"Have this.." Li Bowen said.

Zhan looked at him confused and clearly implying he didn't understand what he meant. Li Bowen smiled and patted his shoulder and then he lifted the coffee mug he was holding so that Zhan can see that. Xiao Zhan took the cup from his hands and held it using both of his hands.

"Thank you.." He said and then again faced his PC. After sometime, without facing Li Bowen Zhan asked

"Bowen, Is there any updates from the fire fighters? Did they.. Did they find..." Zhan couldn't complete his question. There was an unknown lump forming inside his throat which can robbing his ability to speak. Bowen understood what he was asking o he replied.

"Zhan.. I am sorry. The update is till the same. Actually the firefighters and the coastal rescue team searched the area for a long time despite of the conditions. The swimmers and coastal guard already told us that the waves were dangerous, if someone was fell into the sea, they may not survive even if that person is a good swimmer without any injuries. The waves are too strong for even a good swimmer. You should have the best talent in swimming just to survive that otherwise the waves will carry you away."

Xiao Zhan stiffened listening to Li Bowen's words. Seeing this Li Bowen rested his palm on Xiao Zhan's shoulder squeezed a little to give him some reassurance. Then he continued.

"Xiao Zhan... He was injured during before falling down, that too two bullet shots, one on his chest, another one is on his right hand shoulder. You understand what I am hinting right?..." After a pause he said. "There is absolutely no chance for him to survive. The whole team still searched to find his dead body for more than four hours. They still found nothing... we have to close this case and accept the reality that He is indeed dead. The most ruthless criminal in underworld is dead"

Xiao Zhan nodded his head in agreement and he spoke out finally.

"Prepare the report about this incident. I will prepare the part the report on the mission we executed at the light house." Then he put his fingers on the keyboard to type.

Li Bowen handed over the gun of Wang Yibo which was sealed in a plastic cover and placed on the table. Xiao Zhan looked at it blankly.

"Zhan.. his gun was empty.. there wasn't any bullets."

Li Bowen's words pierced Xiao Zhan's heart like double edged knife. He snapped his head towards Li Bowen and asked.

"What?"
