Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Chen MO said this, Xu Bai felt his entire body freeze.

What did he mean by…

Su Meng was the daughter of the Su family’s siblings?

Siblings?

Su Bancheng and Su Ruyu?

Xu Bai felt as if someone had knocked on his head. He was a little confused.

“What?”

“Uh…

When Chen MO saw Xu Bai like this, he hesitated for a moment and hurriedly explained, “This is what my Master said when he was drunk once. I’m not sure. It’s just that after knowing that Su Meng is your disciple, I kindly reminded you that I can’t guarantee it.”

Xu Bai collected his thoughts and looked at Chen MO speechlessly.

“That’s slander.”

“Hey.”

Chen MO was unhappy when he heard that. “Then do you know who Su Meng’s father is?”

Xu Bai shook his head.

“I don’t know.”

“Then it’s settled. No one knows. Even in the police station’s system, Su Ruyu’s marriage status shows that she is unmarried and not divorced or anything.” “…How did you know?”

“Wasn’t there an agent fired from the Central District’s 9th Precinct last year?”

“Right.”

“He was the one who found Su Ruyu’s information and bought it for 80,000 yuan. In the end, he was found out and fired. After that, that newspaper company was bought over by the Su Banking Group.”

…Is that so?”

Xu Bai frowned and shook his head. “I didn’t pay much attention to it.”

Chen MO shrugged and said, “There was a discussion at the time, but it was quickly suppressed by other news. However, even if it’s groundless, there must be a reason. Anyway, I’m just saying. Just listen to it. Alright, I’m going back.”

With that, Chen MO did not give Xu Bai a chance to speak. He turned around and slipped back into the office building of the 48th Precinct.

Xu Bai looked at Chen Mo’s disappearing back and raised his eyebrows. He turned around, opened the car door, and drove out of the 48th Precinct. After thinking for a while, he called Chen Shan.

He had no interest in gossip or this kind of so-called rich news.

But…

Chen Shan was interested.

Other than the nickname of the police station’s Bai Xiaosheng, he also had a nickname called Hot Spot Tracker.

The call went through. “Brother Bai?” “Where are you?”

“Get ready for bed.”

“…It’s already eight in the morning.”

“I know.”

On the other end of the phone, Chen Shan yawned and said sleepily, “Eight o’clock in the morning. That’s for you. For me, it’s twelve at night now.” When Xu Bai heard this, he ignored it.

“Let me ask you something. Last year, an agent from the Central District’s Eighth Precinct was fired…

“You want to ask about Su Meng’s mother, Su Ruyu, about her marriage status, right?”

“…Yes.”

Xu Bai listened to Chen Shan on the phone. Before he could finish speaking, his tone changed from sleepy to full of energy. “You’re not sleepy anymore?”

Chen Shan shook his head. “Then I’m not sleepy anymore. If you want to hear news about that, exchange it with the information of your Traffic Court girlfriend.”

He must be joking.

This was gossip.

Talking about gossip was something that could make people excited. Even if he was seriously ill, Chen Shan felt that as long as there was still gossip to listen to, he would be able to recover before his death.

Not to mention, he could use the gossip he knew to exchange for Xu Bai’s information.

Xu Bai frowned.

“How did you know?”

“I have an informant in the 48th Precinct. I also know that Chen MO gave you the case at the cost of twenty-five tickets from his non-mainstream girlfriend.”

Xu Bai was silent for a moment. “Do you know which department An Ya is from?”

Chen Shan was slightly taken aback. “What?”

Xu Bai shook his head and said, “It’s nothing. You go first.”

Just as Chen Shan was about to speak, he suddenly recalled that he had not even seen the outer packaging of the afternoon tea. The corners of his mouth twitched. “I won’t fall for the same trick a second time.’

Xu Bai did not force her. He pretended to hang up the phone. “Forget it if you don’t want to tell me. I’ll let you continue to be sleepy.”

Chen Shan hurriedly shouted.

“Wait a minute.”

“Speak?”

“…If I tell you, will you tell me which number of girlfriend you have in the

Traffic Court?”

“I’ll think about it.”

Chen Shan opened his mouth, seriously suspecting that Xu Bai was teasing him again.

But…

The fire of gossip had just ignited. If no one said anything, he would suffocate.

Chen Shan took a deep breath. Between being suffocated to death and taking a gamble on Xu Bai’s character, he gritted his teeth and chose the latter. “Alright, I’ll talk, but if you don’t give me an equivalent exchange, don’t even think about getting information from me for free next time.”

Xu Bai smiled but did not say anything.

Chen Shan immediately spoke.

“You want to ask if the rumor that Su Meng’s father’s surname is also Su is true?”

“Right.”

“Su Ruyu’s husband’s surname is definitely not Su. This is the only thing I can be sure of.

He continued, “Even though Su Ruyu’s information shows that she is unmarried, this must be fake. She was once married but later divorced.

Xu Bai asked, “You know because…

Chen Shan said, “Because I used my connections to find the staff in charge of registration at the city hall back then. He told me that on a night 21 years ago, the Su family took him to the Su Manor and applied for a divorce certificate as quickly as possible. I don’t know the reason, but he didn’t even see that man.”

Xu Bai touched his chin as he listened to Chen Shan’s message.

“Then…

“I don’t know.”

Chen Shan knew what Xu Bai wanted to ask and shook his head straightforwardly. “It’s illegal to spread rumors. I just like gossip, not rumors. As long as I know something and it’s not verified, I’ll record him down. Before I get verified, I’ll never make rash judgments.”

Xu Bai nodded.

That was true.

In the beginning, everyone thought that Chen Shan’s gossip was nonsense, or rather, pure rumors.

But…

As time passed, Chen Shan’s gossip basically became the truth.

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and said into the phone, “However, I do have an unconfirmed rumor. However, it’s a rumor that involves personal privacy and reputation. It’s said that Su Ruyu seemed to have been kidnapped before the staff of the city hall came. It’s said that it was Su Ruyu’s husband who did it. It’s also because of this that Su Ruyu got a divorce.”

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.

This was not a rumor. This was the truth.

Right.

Old Fu!

The retired agent of the Homeland Security, Old Fu, was the one who said it when he was buying cake from Xu Bai and the neighbors were talking about Su Meng’s Identity.

Old Fu was the person who had personally experienced this kidnapping back then.

He was going to look for Fu.

Xu Bai thought to himself. Then, he said into the phone, “Alright, thank you.

I’m hanging up!”

Chen Shan was stunned.

“Wait a minute. You promised.”

“Five.”

“What… Hey, hey, hey!”

Before Chen Shan could react, he heard the dial tone from the phone. He felt terrible. “F*ck, I knew it. I might as well believe in your character…”

‘Wait a minute.’

Five?

Chen Shan was stunned again. He blinked and recalled the word Xu Bai had said before hanging up.

Fifth?

Or was it the fifth?

Chen Shan’s eyes shone with a strange light as his entire body trembled.

There was no such thing as monogamy in the Federation. When it came to marriage, there was only one word.

Freedom!

As long as you had the ability and both men and women did not object, you could have as many as you wanted as long as you could hand over double the taxes on time every year. Half an hour later.

Xu Bai returned to the old factory community. Just as he was about to lock the car door and go straight to Old Fu, a retired agent from Homeland Security, his phone rang.

The fifth dream.

Xu Bai looked at the caller ID and hesitated for a moment before picking up the call.

The next second.

A gentle and soft voice reached Xu Bail s ears.

“Twenty-five tickets?”

“You’re… okay again.”

Xu Bai had given up on asking why he had not called yet. The other party already knew about it. He said with a smile, “I initially thought there were only two of them. That son of a b*tch Chen MO, who knew he would give me twenty-five of them.”

The soft female voice snorted. “Find someone else. I can’t help you.”

Xu Baishan smiled. “Please, don’t do it again. I’ve seen it. There are only two dangerous drivers. The rest are parking tickets. Please help me.”

The female voice hummed softly again.

After a while.

The woman’s voice softened, “…Alright, bring me the ticket tomorrow. Seriously, did Chen MO ask you to help him get rid of the traffic ticket after he got a girlfriend? How many times has it been? Is it the fourth one?”

Xu Bai shook his head, “No, the sixth one. The fifth one is also from the police station, but he didn’t give Chen MO a ticket.”

The female voice paused for a moment and shook her head. “They’re all scumbags. I’m hanging up. Bring it over tomorrow.” Xu Bai looked at the phone and opened his mouth.

They were all scumbags?

‘Everyone is?’

‘A”le?,

Impossible.

No matter what, the definition of a scumbag should be related to abandonment.

He had never abandoned her after messing around.

Furthermore…

Scumbag. No matter what, he should be a man who took the initiative to provoke a woman.

He didn’t.

Xu Bai was just not used to rejecting her. He would not take the initiative to provoke her, nor would he abandon her. How could he be called a scumbag?

‘Yep.’

It must be a mistake.

Xu Bai recalled the definition of a scumbag and nodded to himself. After confirming that he was not a scumbag, he put away his phone and walked straight to the home of the retired agent, Old Fu.

After a while.

Xu Bai came to Fu’s door and glanced at a strand of hair that had fallen to the floor. He then raised his head and knocked on the door in front of him.

Her hair was on the floor and not under the door.

Old Fu should be at home.

Not long after.

Old Fu opened the door.
