Tangling with the Western Commander-Chapter 524 - 521: Captain Lu: Is the Meat Delicious? (4)

So without any back and forth, he bent down and took a bite; only then did Wen Xian, smiling contentedly, take her turn and bite down with satisfaction.

Her cheeks puffed out, making her look like a little squirrel.

Just like the first time they had a meal together in the jurisdiction, back in the day.

But who could have imagined that she, so sexy, enchanting, fiery, stunning, and adorably naive, would become his wife.

Truly, it all felt like a dream.

So wonderful that he couldn’t help wanting to grasp it all tightly and cherish her dearly.

After buying the roasted naan, Wen Xian dragged Lu Xiao into a shop to have some soup with assorted offal.

A bowl of steaming beef soup with offals sprinkled with a layer of green onions, its fragrant yet not greasy aroma shot straight into the nostrils.

With the roasted naan, Wen Xian ate and drank to her heart’s content, and when they finally left, she resembled a pampered lord, patting her slightly bulging belly with utter satisfaction.

On the way back, Lu Xiao suddenly received a phone call.

Seeing the caller ID, Lu Xiao’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. He inserted the Bluetooth headset into his ear and began to take the call.

At once, a middle-aged man’s voice came through.

It was Director Ouyang.

On the other line he said, "We have caught our spy. That day, everyone’s mobile phone was under close surveillance, and there was just one person who caused a signal fluctuation—you know this person."

Lu Xiao fell silent for a moment, then said, "Officer Xu?"

Upon hearing this, Director Ouyang sighed,

"Yes, it’s really unexpected it would be him, a bright and energetic young man, but who could have thought—"

Lu Xiao: "..."

He pursed his lips, his expression growing complicated.

He had suspected before, but without concrete evidence, nothing was conclusive.

This Officer Xu, who had been handed the suspect surnamed Wu during his first arrest, was the police captain.

They were friends, acquaintances of each other.

But now, in an instant, everything seemed to have changed.

Director Ouyang added, "By the way, regarding that man surnamed Li, are you going to see him? He’s woken up and said he hoped to see you, that he had something to tell you. But his current condition, it’s really... hard to put into words."

Lu Xiao: "..."

Yes, this man surnamed Li, mentioned by the director, was indeed Li Tingze.

Unexpectedly, he had not died.

But saying he hadn’t died hardly made his situation better than death.

The explosion hadn’t killed him, but it had left him with burns over 70% of his body; half of his face had been burnt away, and after falling from a high place, he had become a high-level paraplegic.

From the waist down, he could no longer move.

And his soul, whether it be evil or fierce, would be trapped in that disabled shell for a long time to come.

Wen Xian was aware of this as well.

But more than anything, she felt he deserved it.

Such a deeply malevolent person dying right away would have been too easy for him.

What goes around comes around; God punishes all evildoers.

Director Ouyang said something else, but Lu Xiao glanced at Wen Xian in the passenger seat. After a moment’s hesitation, he finally said,

"Alright, I’ll go."

To see a barely alive Li Tingze.

He wanted to know, why did he wish to see him? What was the reason?

It couldn’t just be to behold his current grotesque appearance and disabled body; there had to be something else he wanted to say.

In the back of his mind...

Lu Xiao felt he could guess that things were not so simple.

The evil forces continued to spread and grow; the only question was who the next person would be...?
