After ten days had passed, there seemed to be an inexplicable increase in the news of accidental deaths broadcasted on TV. The police also noticed something and launched an investigation. All the clues proved that their deaths were all accidental. There were no traces of them being a homicide, so they could only eliminate this probability.
However, there were also experienced veteran police officers in the police station, who, after investigation, discovered that the only thing the deceased had in common was that they once served in the cultivation base under the 109 Research Institute of Red Fox City. The earliest to leave was a Chinese fire-bellied newt alpha who was transferred from the cultivation base three years ago. Before his death, he was working as an obstetrician at Red Fox City Hospital.
Due to the lack of further clues, the police investigation was at a standstill. Although they intuitively knew that someone was pulling the strings behind this incident, they didn’t know where to start. If it was really a homicide, then the murderer’s anti-investigation awareness was a bit terrifying. Killing so many people neatly in a short period of time without leaving any clues was not something ordinary terrorists could do.
Generally speaking, if the dead had obvious overlapping trajectories, it was unlikely for it to be a random terrorist action. In that case, if it wasn’t a serial killer’s violent game, then it could only be a vendetta. Officer Zhang began to investigate the suspects with motives from their friends and family members.
The International Police Station’s Officer Zhang Ling specifically came to Greenfly City to seek cooperation with the IOA for this case and also met with Bai Chunian.
Officer Zhang had once interrogated Bai Chunian when he was in prison. At that time, the fact that Bai Chunian completely played with his lie detection ability with his speaking skills made Officer Zhang very upset, so he naturally wouldn’t be happy when he saw him; his square-shaped face was still expressionless.
Bai Chunian leaned on the back of his chair, his hands resting on his lower abdomen, and his legs crossed and stretched out. He was calm as he answered, “Since it’s not the work of terrorists, then we, the Secret Service, won’t be able to help you. Officer Zhang, why don’t you try your luck with the Alliance Police Station?”
Officer Zhang raised his small but sharp eyes to examine Bai Chunian, wanting to get something out of Bai Chunian’s body movements and expression. However, Bai Chunian was also an expert at interrogation, so he won’t reveal any demeanor that puts him at a disadvantage.
When he arrived, he had already contacted the Alliance Police Station, but they didn’t have much interest in the investigation over there. It seemed that, under the implication of some kind of power, everyone unanimously dismissed their interest in this case. Right now, the Search Division and the Alliance Police Department were just playing ball with each other.
As for the International Prison, it was even more impossible to expect them to do anything. Since the former warden, Li Wang, resigned, the newly appointed warden was promoted by Yan Yi and PBB commander Gu Weiyi. The butts of the reshuffled International Prison were beyond crooked. If Yan Yi proposed anything at the next international conference, it would be overwhelmingly supported.
And all of this seemed to be proceeding in an orderly manner under the single-handed push of Yan Yi. When the IOA was first established, no one expected that such ambition would be hidden in the seemingly gentle and quiet omega president.

109 Research Institute Headquarters Office.
The interior decoration of the entire institute was relatively uniform, most of which were white curved designs with a strong sense of technology; Aileen’s office also followed the same simple style.
A fair-looking and slender young man came out of the pantry, and brought a coffee to the red-haired female alpha sitting behind the desk and mechanically said, “Your coffee, ma’am.”
Aileen’s preferences were the same as before; in addition to the designed experimental subjects, even her personal secretary had to be created with this kind of sickly and frail but beautiful appearance.
Aileen leaned back in her office chair. She was wearing a suit jacket, the collar of her white shirt inside was freely open, and a droplet-shaped pendant with a slightly plastic feel to it was hung on a platinum clasp chain. This was a Valentine’s Day gift she received when she was a student, during which she changed the necklace several times without changing the cheap pendant on it.
Age did not leave wrinkles on her face, but added a somewhat mature charm, revealing a fierce beauty. However, the scandals about the 109 Research Institute that have emerged these days had been tiring her and making her look a lot more haggard.
The curved office desk suddenly lit up with soft light. A beam of light hit the desk and projected a three-dimensional computer screen. The AI assistant asked tenderly, “Officer Zhang Ling sent over an encrypted email, do you want to read it immediately?”
The AI’s voice was imitating that of a male omega. It sounded like he was in his thirties, which didn’t quite match her preference.
“Read it for me.” Aileen held her mug to the desk and rested her elbow on the desktop.
The AI read out, “It is suspected that the death of the six former researchers at the cultivation base was secretly ordered by the president of IOA.”
Aileen gently wiped off the lipstick stain on the mug and snorted. “Yan Yi won’t be that impatient… Forget it, let the management of Red Fox City’s cultivation base be informed that it will enter a sealed-off state from now on. Strengthen security checks, don’t let suspicious people in.”
“Deng, have all the expired contract renewals been completed?”
Hearing her inquiry, the AI quickly answered, “Our reputation has been damaged and many countries have stopped the contracts for the pre-scheduled experimental subjects, saying that they will not renew the contracts. While others are waiting to see what happens. There was a small issue with the source of the raw material for the drug. The Red-Throated Bird can no longer take on our orders; the core members were either assassinated or taken away by Knicks.”
“Useless.” Aileen pinched her nose bridge. “Let’s negotiate on the raw materials of the drug first.”
“Do you have a prospective target?”
“The Greyhound family.”

These days, Bi Lanxing stayed at the IOA headquarters and didn’t go back to the military base. Bai Chunian gave him a whole bunch of odd jobs for him to learn to do. As an instructor, Bai Chunian had always left things unfinished. Once he throws a task at others, he wouldn’t care about it anymore. Whether Bi Lanxing could complete it was all up to him, and if he couldn’t finish it, he would be scolded by Bai Chunian.
Xiao Xun was still recuperating in the ward, so he wouldn’t be able to help.
A few days ago, Bai Chunian wasn’t in the Alliance; Bi Lanxing didn’t see him anywhere. It was rare for him to stay in the office for a while today, but as soon as he came back, he sat down in his chair and dozed off.
Bi Lanxing went beside him and quietly reported to him, glancing at him from time to time. He felt that Chu-ge had been haggard these days. The president didn’t pass down any missions, so what was Chu-ge busy with recently?
The uniform jacket covering Bai Chunian’s body slipped to the floor. Bi Lanxing picked it up, shook it, and put it back on Bai Chunian.
Unexpectedly, before the jacket could even touch him, Bai Chunian suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed his neck. Bi Lanxing clearly saw the flash of ruthlessness in his eyes and froze in place.
Bai Chunian was also taken aback and released him. With a light smile, he gestured with his left hand to the tip of Bi Lanxing’s nose and made a shooting gesture. “Bang, I was testing your reaction speed, you failed. If this was an actual theft mission, you’d be dead.”
But Bi Lanxing still held his breath—he could tell that Bai Chunian’s eyes were clearly fierce just now and carried killing intent. After years of training, Bi Lanxing had this intuition.
“Chu-ge.” Bi Lanxing handed over the dropped uniform jacket to him. “Is there anything I can help you with?”
“Write reports.” Bai Chunian stretched. “Finally, there’s someone who can do this clerical work for me.”
“Anything else?” Bi Lanxing looked at him. “It’s fine, even if it’s dangerous, I won’t hold you back.”
Bai Chunian burst out laughing, laid on the table, and looked at him with his hand on his chin. “If I take you to do some bad things, will you go?”
“I’ll go.” Bi Lanxing blurted out, then he suddenly felt it was inappropriate. He asked hesitantly, “I mean, how bad can it be?”
Bai Chunian put his arms around his shoulders. “I’m just kidding, you actually believed it. Hurry up and finish typing the report and get off work. Once work has slowed down, you can go back to the military base to continue the exchange training, lest the little rabbit will call me and blather on all day long.”
Of course, Bai Chunian wouldn’t take them out to do outrageous things. But Bi Lanxing’s response that was said without thinking, seemed to have given him a different kind of comfort, and made Bai Chunian’s brows relax again. He happily returned to the apartment after getting off work.
Recently, the number of obes between the two of them has increased significantly. Rimbaud was a bit overwhelmed and slept more soundly than usual every night. Bai Chunian also became more and more clingy, pursuing him more and more unrestrainedly. Later, Rimbaud even started to crawl under the bed as if running away, but he was always dragged back by the pitiful randi coquettishly.
This was something that Rimbaud was happy to see, so he didn’t take it to heart. However, when he called Bai Chunian during work hours one day, Rimbaud unwittingly discovered that he was not in the IOA Alliance building, but outside, and he could faintly hear the ringing of a bell.
Recalling it carefully, it seemed that only the Alliance Police Station had a clock tower near it.
Speaking of acquaintances at the station, apart from some police officers with whom they often cooperated, the only one who was detained in the detention center was Satan.
Xiao Bai went to see another omega behind his back, which made Rimbaud a bit upset, but he didn’t doubt him out of trust.
In addition, recently, Xiao Bai would often strangely be in a daze, staring coldly at the calendar or the clock on the wall, staring at the hands that move forward second by second. He would be like this for hours when he was lost in thought. This was the state he was often in when he was planning something. He would rehearse the details of the action over and over again in his mind, taking into account all emergencies, so that the operation was completely under his control.
At first, Rimbaud only thought that he was still sad about that pearl. When he was in a daze, Rimbaud would hug him and release soothing pheromones, kiss his dry eyes, and rub his cheeks and hair.
Xiao Bai would also react enthusiastically to him. It seemed that this was the only way it could bring him a little comfort, and only then would the alpha’s nerves relax from the tense state, sticking to Rimbaud tenderly.
Thus, the matter of Bai Chunian often sneaking out of the apartment after three in the morning, wasn’t noticed until June 23rd.
In the early hours of the morning, before dawn, Rimbaud suddenly felt a tremble in his heart. He woke up from his deep slumber with no one beside him.
Bai Chunian was gone.
Thank You for the new chapter ( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈♡)˚๐*˟ ♡
uh oh, I’m quite surprised Rimbaud hasn’t mauled BCN yet (even if Rimbaud does trust and love him)
Thanks for the chapter ❤
