  Xu Lan shifted his focus from the files onto the man and was stunned by him.

  F*ck! He finally met someone who seemed more likely to be the one who collects protection money! Even though he appeared as someone who would collect protection money, at least he still looked like a civilized being. On the other hand, the person in front of him gave one an impression of using violence to solve problems with just one glance.

  “Brother, may I ask how would you prefer to be addressed?” Xu Lan shook his head and asked again because in his mind, he was thinking that there was no need for such formality to speak with someone who collects protection money.

  “Oh, I’m Wang Biao, surname’s Wang. What’s your name?” Wang Biao asked while he sized Xu Lan up curiously.

  “Xu Lan. ‘Xu’ with a double ‘ren’ and a ‘yu’, ‘Lan’ that represents billows from the saying – to push the wave and add to the billows

  ,” Xu Lan explained subconsciously.

  “Oh, Xiao Xu. So what do you want? Do you need my help too?” Wang Biao asked in a good mood as his whole body was relieved after finishing his business.

  “Er……”


  “You can call me Biao Zi. I’m thirty-five years old. How old are you?” Wang Biao sat down beside Xu Lan and said as if they were very close friends.

  “I’m thirty.” Xu Lan stared with widened eyes while he secretly made a mental note. This was his first time seeing someone who looked worse than him, “Shall I call you Brother Biao then?”


  “No need! Just call me Biao Zi. Everybody calls me that, what can I do?” Wang Biao said generously.

  “Oh, okay. You can help me to organize these files according to the given year. I’ll mark them first,” Xu Lan said straightforwardly.

  He was more than willing to engage with people like Wang Biao. One that hated evil as he hated his enemy, forthright and generous. He could not stand people like Li Xiu, which had a pristine appearance but a hypocrite personality.

  “Sure,” Wang Biao answered and started arranging the files. Although he looked like he was a hulking man, he was still able to carry out the tasks delicately and efficiently.

  “Hehe, Xiao Xu, tell me the truth. How did you discover something that happened thirteen years ago, and how did you manage to link these cases together?” Wang Biao asked while he was arranging the files on hand.

  “Like this, I plot out the timeline. Although these individuals had not much contact with each other, they were constantly visiting the hospital. They were suffering from Pneumoconiosis, which is a notable fact itself. Although they did not go to the mine in Chengdu at the same time, all of them were sacked after the mine collapsed. Therefore, the collapsing of the Chengdu mine was one of our breakthroughs.”


  “F*ck, it was that easy?”


  “Uhm, that’s all to it. Are you done?” Xu Lan was intrigued by Wang Biao’s reaction, where he shrugged his shoulders and snickered.

  “Almost done, you can view from the front first,” Wang Biao said.

  “Hey, Biao Zi. What are you doing here? Brother Feng is looking for you. I thought you fell into the toilet,” a person walked in and said to Wang Biao who was sitting on the floor.

  “Oh! I forgot! Brother Feng is waiting at downstairs for me to carry the equipment up!” Wang Biao sprung up from the floor and said after slapping his forehead. All the files in his arms scattered onto the floor due to his sudden action.

  “Uh, Xiao Xu, sorry about that. I will come and pick them up in a while! Wait for me to finish moving the equipment. You’re fun to hang out with. Ha…… Uhm, Brother Feng!” Wang Biao straightened up immediately, like a mouse before a cat. The other person stood behind Xiao Feng was gloating at him, which really angered Wang Biao.

  Xiao Feng looked at the scattered files on the floor, shoot him a glance and signaled him to go downstairs to move the equipment. It was as if a heavy weight was relieved from Wang Biao’s mind, he fled from the scene.
