Chapter 209 Caught
Chapter 209: Capture
"What are you doing! You are committing a crime!"

The clerk at the stationery store glared at Bai Yanliang and held his arm tightly.

Bai Yanliang looked at her helplessly without saying anything.

He tried to talk to her nicely and wanted to check the surveillance video, but he didn't get the clerk's consent.

So... he climbed over the wall, originally planning to just go through the back door to retrieve the video, watch it, and leave without anyone noticing.

But Bai Yanliang never expected that the computer was even more complicated than the phone. After clicking around randomly, not only did he fail to retrieve the video, but he also attracted the clerk...

"I'm here to investigate a case..."

Bai Yanliang explained in a low voice.

"What case are you investigating? Where are the documents?"

"I left in a hurry and forgot to bring ..."

"If you don't have it, then you don't have it! You liar! You thief! Come on, follow me to the criminal police station!"

If you don't bring it, you don't have it...

This familiar line reminded Bai Yanliang of his assistant director after a long time. At that time, he didn't do his homework because he thought it was so simple that it was stupid.

Every time the assistant director asked him, he said he forgot to bring it.

And every time the assistant instructor would say… if you didn’t bring it, you didn’t write it…

"Xiaodie, what are you arguing about?"

While the two were talking, the owner of the stationery store came out.

"Mr. Bai?"

As soon as he heard the voice, Bai Yanliang felt an indescribable sense of weirdness, because the person who came was the owner of this store and also the owner of Mercury Night, Xun Weimo.

He is actually the owner of this shop...

Bai Yanliang suddenly realized that he should have guessed it was him when he saw the special little gift.

"Boss, do you know this thief?"

The shop assistant named Xiaodie grabbed Bai Yanliang and asked Xun Weimo in confusion.

Xun Weimo let her go and said with a smile: "Misunderstanding, Mr. Bai is my friend."

Xiaodie looked at Bai Yanliang half-doubtingly, then at Xun Weimo.

Anyway, my boss has spoken, so it’s up to you guys…

"Mr. Bai, what a coincidence."

Xun Weimo smiled.

Bai Yanliang straightened his clothes and got straight to the point: "Can I check the surveillance footage from the past few days?"

However, this time, Xun Weimo shook his head and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Bai, actually the surveillance in this store... is fake."

"Because it's a stationery store, there's nothing valuable there, so we didn't really install a camera."

Bai Yanliang nodded. It was not uncommon to be on guard against villains instead of gentlemen.

He was just about to say goodbye and leave when he suddenly received a call.

The caller was Tang Guo.

"Master! You better hide! They say you are a suspect and they are looking for you all over the city!"

Tang Guo's voice was so loud and urgent that even Xun Weimo, who was standing opposite Bai Yanliang, seemed to have heard it.

He looked at Bai Yanliang strangely, but did nothing.

"what happened?"

When Bai Yanliang heard Tang Guo's nonsensical words, he was unable to react for a while. Suspect?

I?
"Oh no! It's too late! It's that guy from the General Administration. He said that you are the bomber this time. If he was wrong, he would kowtow to you and resign. Now everyone believes him and is coming to arrest you!" The guy from the General Administration?

The image of the young man in a white suit appeared in Bai Yanliang's mind.

In fact, when he first met him, Bai Yanliang already knew him almost perfectly.

For example, although he didn't wear glasses, he was extremely nearsighted. Another example was that he had a mild mysophobia and didn't like physical contact with people. And... among the people sent by the General Administration this time, although Wu Kuifeng was the main one on the surface, in fact, he should be the one with the most say, or to put it another way, Wu Kuifeng, who had the most say, valued his opinions very much.

A person's attitude towards another person can be largely revealed from subtle body language.

Wu Kuifeng had almost unreserved trust in the young man.

After understanding the whole story, Bai Yanliang knew that things were going to be troublesome.

However, he still thanked Tang Guo first.

"Thank you, Tang Guo. I'll be fine, don't worry."

Then, Bai Yanliang quickly hung up the phone. He had to leave here as soon as possible.

Although Tang Guo came to inform him, Bai Yanliang was almost certain that Tang Guo's call was tacitly approved by Wu Kuifeng and others.

Because in that way, they can use technical means to track the source of Bai Yanliang's signal.

"Sorry, I have something to do and I have to leave first."

"Hey!" Xun Weimo suddenly grabbed Bai Yanliang and said with a smile: "Mr. Bai, do you believe me?"

Bai Yanliang turned around and looked at him, and there was no flaw in Xun Weimo's expression.

"Mr. Xun knows about my troubles?"

Xun Weimo pointed at his ears and smiled proudly: "Everything about me is average, but my hearing is one or two times better than that of ordinary people."

It seems that he really heard the conversation.

However, this also solved a doubt for Bai Yanliang.

When he, He Yige and Yu Sheng went to Mercury Night to look for clues about the missing Ren Wudao, the young boss once mentioned that he accidentally heard the mysterious man in a suit with a severed finger mention the three words Xiaqiao Street.

At that time, Bai Yanliang hid his doubts in his heart and did not say them out loud, because the bar counter was far away from the seat where the mysterious man was sitting, and it would be difficult to be "accidentally" heard unless he shouted.

"It seems that what Boss Xun overheard was more than I thought."

Bai Yanliang said meaningfully.

Now that he has personally admitted that his hearing is outstanding, it means that he did not overhear the conversation between the mysterious man with the missing finger and Ren Wudao that night accidentally, but was listening intentionally.

Moreover, he didn't just hear that one sentence.

Bai Yanliang believed that he heard clearly the entire conversation between Ren Wudao and the mysterious man.

But he pretended he knew nothing.

"Alas, hearing other people's secrets is not a good thing, Mr. Bai, do you know? Either don't know any secrets, or... know as many secrets as possible. Otherwise... it will bring fatal disaster..." Xun Weimo said the last few words very softly.

"Mr. Bai, if there is anything you want to know, you can exchange it for secrets. Of course... you have to come to Mercury Night to talk about it." Xun Weimo winked at him.

"As a first-time experience discount, I can provide Mr. Bai with a temporary hiding place. What should I do? Will Mr. Bai trust me?"

Bai Yanliang looked at Xun Weimo. Although he knew that this young boss was not simple when they first met, the development of things still surprised him.

This Boss Xun... seems to be a really powerful person.

The bar called Mercury Night is not as simple as He Yige said.

But that's true, if it was really that simple, why would the mysterious man with the severed finger go to that place to discuss things?
Thinking of this, Bai Yanliang stopped his action of leaving immediately.

"Then thank you for your help, Boss Xun."

Xun Weimo smiled and said, "It's my honor."
