Xiao Zhan's POV

"Wen Chao," those words escaped from my lips as my eyes started to observe the entire situation. I averted my gaze towards my partner. Wang Yibo's sharp eyes already started to scan Wen Chao and his people. Attentive uh? My lip muscles twitched as I tried to control my smile but they betrayed me and a small smile formed on my lips.

"Hey, Wang Yibo...why don't you try to eavesdrop  their conversation?" I asked, poking Wang Yibo with my elbow while my eyes were observing Wen Chao's movements.

"Why don't you do it yourself," Wang Yibo replied while keenly watching Wen Chao's activities.

"My ears are not that sharp," I huffed.

"Same here,"

"Mr. Yibo you...."

Before I could say anything that iceberg Wang Yibo shifted his sharp gaze and gave a death glare to me.

"Don't look at me like that. My eyes are bigger than you. See," I said while glaring at him, trying to imitate his glare.

Without giving any reaction, he just intensified his cold gaze at me, clearly stating that he was not in the mood to kid with me.

"Ahhhhaaa...I will find a way," I said, trying to eavesdrop on Wen Chao's conversation. "Wang Yibo...why don't you go to the nearest table of Wen Chao and listen to their conversation?" I said as I couldn't hear what they were saying.

"Why don't you do it yourself?!" Wang Yibo glanced at me before averting his gaze to Wen Chao.

"Hey! Mr. Detective Wang Yibo, can you please use little common sense? They already know me, if I go there then our entire plan will just go into the gutter," I uttered. He was really unbelievable! How come Zewu Jun said that this brainless guy was very good at catching the culprit? I am saying...he's only good at making trouble.

"Mr. Xiao Zhan...do you really have a death wish?" Wang Yibo again glared at me as if I am a for granted person and he could glare at me whenever he wanted.

"Ok ok...I will figure it myself," I rolled my eyes, trying not to get into an argument with Wang Yibo. I looked here and there, trying to find something. Suddenly something came into my mind.

"Hey, Wang Yibo...do you have a mask?" I asked with a bright face.

"Why?" Wang Yibo asked with a confused face as if I was speaking an alien language.

"Don't ask me so many questions. I saw a mask in your pocket. Now give it to me." I demanded. "I mistakenly forgot to bring mine."

Wang Yibo slid his hand inside his pocket and fished a mask. "Here." He said as he extended his hand to give that mask to me.

I immediately took the mask and wore it. Then I slid off the black jacket from my shoulders.

"Xiao Zhan..what are you doing?!" Wang Yibo exclaimed witnessing the situation as if he was unprepared for my move.

"Wang Yibo, can you be please be quiet for a moment?" I said flipping his hair, changing my hairstyle. After I was satisfied with my hairdo, I looked at him," Wang Yibo, listen to me. I am going to figure out what they are talking about. Please keep an eye on them," I whispered to Wang Yibo while he was trying to move away from me as if I had some contagious disease.

Without waiting for his words, I left the table. I wasn't in the mood to argue with him.

I went near Wen Chao's table with slow steps. As I almost reached to the table, I saw a beautiful waitress walking towards the table. Yes! It was a chance. I purposely bumped into her, making it look like an accident.

"Ohhhh...I am so sorry miss" I said with a worried face as if I was hell worried about her.

"Its okay, sir" the girl smiled and bowed to me before resuming her work.

The moment I bumped into her, I slipped a chip into Wen Chao's pocket which would record every conversation of Wen Chao and the files that would get saved in the chip would be sent to me. Immediately after sending those files to me, they would get deleted. That would keep no proof that one was spying on Wen Chao and no could even suspect that it was a spying object since the chip looked like an ordinary chip. It was specially designed by Wen Ning.

Then I took a seat near to Wen Chao's table so that I could listen to their words.

"Good thing Wen Chao that you successfully framed the company Rose Valley," a mysterious person said, wearing all black robes.

"Now we have to destroy the only proof," Wen Chao replied drinking a sip from his drink while a smug smile was plastered on his face. God! I hate that smug smile on his face. It made him look even uglier than a toad.

"What?! Still, you didn't destroy the proof?!" That mysterious person exclaimed.

"No...that silly woman Liu escaped. I didn't know that she is such a player." Wen Chao replied while gritting his teeth.

"Well....kill her as soon as possible."

With these words both Wen Chao and that mysterious person left the table and proceeded towards the exit of the casino. I tried to follow them but suddenly a cold strong hand held my wrist.

"Zewu Jun!!!" I exclaimed as I turned around to find the person who held my hand.

"Xiao Zhan...what are you doing. Please come back. Otherwise, they will suspect us," Zewu Jun said, pulling me inside the casino.

We all sat at a table and ordered some drinks so that we could discuss our further plan.

"Zewu Jun...thank you for your help," I said gently.

"Its okay Xiao Zhan," Zewu Jun replied as he took a sip from his drink.

"By the way...is there anything unusual on that side Zewu Jun?" I asked as I looked at him.

"No Xiao Zhan, what I saw is Wen Chao taking with that black dressed man. Nothing unusual happened," Zewu Jun replied.

"What a player Wen Chao is...Even he outsmarted me," I shook my head while putting me on my chin.

"Zewu Jun, Mr. Wang Yibo, it's already late. I think we should head towards our home," Wen Ning politely interrupted.

"Yes, Zewu Jun. My home is not far away. You guys can stay there tonight," I said with a smile.

"Thank you, Xiao Zhan...But we have some work, so must reach our home as soon as possible," Zewu Jun said standing up from his seat.

"Okay Zewu Jun, then I won't bother you," I slightly bowed before bading goodbye to them.

Wang Yibo's POV:

"Ah...finally after so many days something interesting is happening in our lives," Zewu Jun said as he let his body fall on the soft mattress of his cozy bed.

"What had happened that you are giving such a compliment. It's completely boring," I said while applying a face mask on my face while I was sitting on the couch.

"Don't you think its thrilling Yibo? We suspected Xiao Zhan while its someone else who did the crime and framed Rose Valley company," Zewu Jun said while laying on his stomach and looked at me.

"Xichen ge, I still don't understand why are you trusting that idiot CEO that much!" I rolled my eyes before closing my eyes, trying to relax them.

"Yibo, use your common sense. Why do you hold so much grudge against Xiao Zhan? Don't you think that he is smart? We need that type of person in our team," Xichen ge said with a small plastered on his face.

"Uh?!" I just looked at him. Is he crazy or what?! Did something possessed him?! That dumb CEO Xiao Zhan in our team?! Impossible!

"Hey! Wang Yibo, don't give me such a death glare. I am still your senior." Xichen ge said while shaking his head in disappointment. "Yibo...I think you should befriend Xiao Zhan. I don't know but somehow I feel that he is a good as well as a smart person."

"Xichen ge!! Are you kidding me?! Me and that CEO?! Never. Why should I work with him? I wish Wei Ying were here. I really miss him. If he were here, perhaps I wouldn't have face this weird situation now. My Wei Ying is far better than that idiot Xiao Zhan," I huffed. Unbelievable! How can he compare my smart, handsome, cute Wei Ying with that Xiao Zhan?

"Wangji ah Wangji, you said the same when I told you to befriend Child Wei back then and now you are doing the same with Xiao Zhan." Xichen ge smiled as if he remembered something pleasant. Shaking his head, he looked at me. "We still have to deal with this case tomorrow. It's already late. Take a rest."

"Okay Zewu Jun...goodnight"
"Goodnight"

We retired to our respective rooms. It was really very tiresome. I just let myself fall on my soft cozy bed. It was the only peace that I had. I closed my eyes. Suddenly a line of thoughts appeared in my mind. What was so special with Xiao Zhan?! Why Xichen ge is thinking that he was smart?! He is nothing in comparison to my Wei Ying. Wei Ying is much smarter than him. He is far more handsome and cheerful than Xiao Zhan. Ah, my Wei Ying....where are you? Why are you doing this to me? How long should I wait for you?

Xiao Zhan's POV

"Ah...Wen Qing, help me my legs are numb" I yelled as soon as I entered my house. I was really worn out after such a tiresome day.

"Xiao Zhan, are you alright?!" Wen Qing said as she rushed and held my arm, trying to support me.

"Wen Qing, it's not that serious. I am really tired. I was just kidding," I chuckled, making her glare at me.

"You...Xiao Zhan," She hit me on my upper arm before walking towards the kitchen counter.

"Ah...Wen Qing...cannot be a little polite towards me? Which girl on the earth hits her friend like this." I said while rubbing the place where she hit me. "And I am tired to do anything." I pouted as I looked at her.

"Ok ok...now stop pouting. I made your favorite dish." She smiled and she started to serve the food. "Both of you wash your hands. I am starving because of you guys" Wen Qing started to prepare a before table for us.

"Zhan, didn't you say that you will eat outside along with A-Ning?" Wen Qing said while taking a veggie from the plate.

"Haha...I-I just forgot." I laughed awkwardly as both Wen Ning and I skipped our dinner.

"I knew it. A workaholic like you would easily forget to take care of themselves." Wen Qing shook her head and continued having her food. "That's why I prepared dinner and waited for you."

"Thank you, my jiejie." I smiled brightly.

"So Xiao Zhan...did you find any solution to this rumor. I tried to suppress the news as much a possible" Wen Qing, pushing the bowl of rice towards me so that I could have more.

"Well...my plan A is successful. I already put a chip in Wen Chao's shirt and I hope it will work well. And thanks for suppressing the news." I said as I took some rice from the bowl.

"A-Jie, you know...we met two amazing guys today. One is Zewu Jun and the other is Wang Yibo" Wen Ning said taking his bowl of rice.

"Hey hey...Wen Ning. Don't mention that name Wang Yibo in front of me. I have never seen such a cold, emotionless person like him. Even Lan Zhan was better than him," I resumed eating while trying not to compare how perfect my Lan Zhan was when compared to that iceberg.

"Is Lan Zhan that dream boy of your dreams?" Wen Qing asked while wiggling her brows.

"He is not my dream boy. He is my soulmate," I put emphasis on the word soulmate to make her understand how precious Lan Zhan was to me.

"Awww...Xiao Zhan, when will you introduce him to me?" She said while making a cute face.

"Miss Wen Qing...He was my soulmate in my past life. Now I have to find him. Why don't you remember anything Wen Qing? Even your brother remembers a few incidents," I said staring at Wen Qing. This girl still didn't remember even a glimpse of her past.

" Xiao Zhan, a-jie... let's eat. Please don't argue. Xiao Zhan, we still have to investigate the matter. You and Wang Yi..."

"Wen Ning..please don't remind me of his name," I said showing my palm to me, asking him to stop his words. "I know that we still have to work with them. But why should I work with him?! There is Zewu Jun. But still, I have to work with Wang Yibo," I let out a deep breath as I really don't want to be his partner. "I think I am the most unlucky one here."

Soon after dinner, we retired to our rooms. I slipped under my blanket and made myself warm under it. Suddenly a flash of thoughts appeared in my mind.

Wang Yibo...He was cold but he was handsome. Though I didn't observe him much, his side profile was really killer one. His sharp jawline might kill most of the girls. The gaze in his cold eyes was really something. It made me feel like I knew that cold gaze. Wait for what?! What am I thinking?! Aishhh...how stupid I am. How can I compare Wang Yibo to my Lan Zhan?! Lan Zhan was untouchable in every aspect. He was much warmer than that iceberg Yibo. My Lan Zhan never behaved rudely with me. Ahhh...Lan Zhan...where are you? I miss you so much...

Suddenly my phone vibrated. I lazily dragged my body out of the bed and peeped into the phone. Suddenly I received a notification from the clip which I put in Wen Chao's shirt.

Yes! the chip is working. Wen Chao, you are screwed. I smiled as I played an audio file.

But wait...that voice is this in this file...why I feel as her voice is familiar to me?! Wait! Why does it sound like Wen Qing's voice?"
