My Boyfriend Is A Dragon

Panda Novel

Xu Lan took the water offered by Wang Meng and passed it over to Song Xi. At that moment, he was no longer the silly young man who lacked confidence when he was around her, but the investigator who was in charge of the case.

“The information shows that the Zhao brothers were in their late thirties back when the mining incident took place thirteen years ago. However, Song Xi is twenty-eight years old this year. Am I right?” Xu Lan asked as he flipped through the files while circling the relevant parts in red.

“Yes.”

“So, when did you start adopting Song Xi’s identity?”

“I have no idea.” Song Xi glanced at her watch and answered impatiently.

“Alright then, let me ask another question. What kind of sickness was your second son suffering from?” Xu Lan asked without beating around the bush.

“I don’t know! I don’t know! Son? I don’t have a son!” Song Xi wrapped her arms around her head and sank her fingers in her hair as she shouted in agony.

“Uh, Lawyer Song, you should calm down. Relax, we can talk about something else if you don’t know anything about this.” Xiao Feng was smoking by the window; he stubbed his cigarette and walked over to console Song Xi.

“I don’t know! I don’t know anything about this. I beg your mercy, please stop asking me about it!” Song Xi shivered and pleaded as she stared ahead blankly.

“Xixi, Xixi are you okay? I’m here to bring you home.” Being his usual careless self, Wang Meng forgot to shut the door. A smartly dressed man frowned as he witnessed the scene unfolded before him.

“Xixi, what happened? Don’t worry, I’m here. Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.” Zhao Ran rushed past the door and made his way to Song Xi. When Zhao Ran stroked her back gently, her body tensed up momentarily before she finally leaned against him and teared up uncontrollably.

“Officer, please explain what’s going on! Xixi came here voluntarily to help with the investigation. If you have solid evidence, you can arrest her right away. What do you think you’re doing, terrorizing her because you can’t find any evidence against her?” Zhao Ran, who was in a rage, asked in an icy tone.

“Uh, we didn’t do anything. The camera…” Xiao Feng pulled Wang Meng away and sent him tumbling onto the sofa before offering his apologies to Song Xi.

“Why…” Wang Meng pouted unhappily.

“That’s because we don’t have any evidence,” Xu Lan shook his head and patted Wang Meng’s shoulder. It seemed that Song Xi was a dead end.

Zhao Ran gave Xiao Feng a stern warning and did not leave with Song Xi until hearing Xiao Feng promise that this would not happen again.

“Pft, anyone would seem like a poor thing when they are crying!” Wang Meng could not help but to make a remark as he was angered by how Xiao Feng acted.

“Officer Xiao, any news from Qin Lao about the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family?” Xu Lan asked with a serious expression.

“Qin Lao sent me the results last night. According to his data, there is nothing abnormal about Song Xi. The plastic surgeon also confirmed that Song Xi has never undergone any surgery,” Xiao Feng said as he lit up another cigarette while observing the traffic in the city.

“That’s impossible! How can a woman who was in her forties or fifties transformed into a beautiful twenty-something without any external aid? There’s definitely something going on unless she lied!”

After Xiao Feng lit up his cigarette, Xu Lan wanted to reach for a cigarette himself. However, he dismissed that thought after touching his pocket.

“Why would she lie?” Wang Meng asked in confusion.

“A diversion!”

“To confuse us!” Xiao Feng and Xu Lan answered at the same time.

Xu Lan and Xiao Feng’s gaze met, both of them had a joyous expression on their face. Wang Meng found himself more confused than before.

“Heck! Explain yourself please!” Wang Meng was unhappy. He felt that his thought process was not as quick as Xu Lan and that hindered him from being the perfect partner to Xiao Feng.

“No worries, he can explain it to you at night. For now, we should focus our attention on the son of the Zhao family, who died from illness, and his brother. Let’s find out if he has any sons. The orphan of the Zhao family, this is getting interesting. Right, I didn’t know that there’s a Zhao Group Corporation here at Whitehorse City? Are they a family business or…?” Xu Lan asked with a smile, his scheming mind was coming up with different ideas.

“Eh, why? Are you suspecting President Zhao? Even though I’m relatively new here, but I know that you’ve been paying close attention to the gossips about Lawyer Son.” Xiao Feng looked at Xu Lan with suspicion.

“Heck! What are you talking about?” Xu Lan raised his feet and gave Wang Meng a kick.

“What? I’m not the one who said this! Why don’t you kick him instead? What did I even do?” Wang Meng stood up and scolded Xu Lan ruthlessly.

“Whether it is you or him that I kicked, it would be the same anyway,” Xu Lan said as he made faces at Wang Meng.

“Knock knock, Sergeant Xu, the chief knows that you’re here and he would like to have a word with you,” Wang Hao said uncomfortably.
