S.C.I. Mystery Files Case 2 Chapter 38 🔒



Killer Training Camp - Chapter 38 Infatuation

hi :< my apologies that it slipped my mind when this chapter was updated, but I've made the edit for the explicit content. To view, key "badbaijintang" without the quotation marks when prompted.


On a remote road late at night, there was a black Mercedes-Benz that had virtually blended in with the surrounding backdrop.

Gong Sun looked at the unfamiliar Bai Jintang in front of him with some alarm and was just about to say something when Bai Jintang sealed his lips with a violent kiss.

After doing some simple tidying up, Bai Jintang realised just how small and delicate this person was when he used his suit to cover Gongsun who was curled up on the seat. How could someone be completely covered by a suit jacket…

He started up the car again and drove to a villa in the suburbs. He recently acquired that villa and was planning to bring Gongsun over on his birthday. He didn’t expect for them to go there two months earlier…

What he needed right now was a bed, not for resting, but to properly enjoy that man beside him once more… What they did just now was far from enough!


A dried shrimp congee was slowly simmering in a pot.
Crispy little fish that was slightly sweet and had a slight crunch to it was the perfect combination to go with congee.
And the crab roe buns that were steamed to perfect white tenderness…

A mouth-watering fragrance wafted out of the kitchen, slowly travelling, and making its way into the bedroom.

Zhan Zhao’s nose was the first to wake up, even before his head. He got up in a daze, taking in the wonderful smell while sitting on the bed… It smells so good~~

Bai Yutang who was busy in the kitchen guessed that it was about time that the cat was awakened by the smell so he walked over and pushed open the bedroom door—just as he had expected.

Seeing Zhan Zhao sit on the bed hugging the blanket with a blank look on his face, Bai Yutang smiled and opened the curtains.

The bright sunlight that shone into the room was a little blinding and Zhan Zhao had to blink a few times before he adjusted to the brightness and his mind woke up a little more.

Bai Yutang went over and sat down on the side of the bed before leaning over to plant a chaste kiss on Zhan Zhao’s lips. “Morning, Kitty.”

……///…… It looked like Zhan Zhao’s brain couldn’t react in time; he froze for two seconds before he pushed that mouse with a red face and lifted his sleeve to wipe his mouth.

“Hey, you damn cat! Don’t wipe it away!” Bai Yutang grabbed his wrist. “Give me a kiss.”

Zhan Zhao’s eyes rounded in shock.

“What’s the matter? We already agreed to it last night!” Bai Yutang said confidently, feeling all justified about his request. “You don’t want to admit it? You toyed with me only to cast me aside in the end!”

The redness on Zhan Zhao’s face began to spread to his neck and ears. This damn mouse! Shameless! Who even toyed with you?!
 
“Come on.” Bai Yutang approached him with a bright smile.
  
Zhan Zhao gave him the side-eye before suddenly pointing at the door, exclaiming, “Ah!”
  
Bai Yutang instinctively looked over but there was nothing at the door. Just as he was feeling a little disappointed, he felt a warmth against his cheek and when he finally processed what happened, Zhan Zhao had already jumped off the bed and “flown” into the bathroom.
  
Meanwhile, the white mouse in the bedroom was so happy he didn’t know where to put his hands1 while his tail was all perked up—like it was going to shoot to the sky—and was even wagging rhythmically.
  
After Zhan Zhao dashed into the bathroom, he turned on the tap to prepare to wash his face and brush his teeth… Come to think of it, why did that white mouse’s mouth taste of lemon?
When he looked up, he saw that Bai Yutang’s toothbrush cup was placed right next to his… and his toothpaste is… lemon flavour?? It really is!
  
Zhan Zhao realised his thoughts were getting a little wild—pink bubbles were already starting to pop out—he hurriedly scooped up a handful of cold water and splashed it on his face. Zhan Zhao!! You have to pull yourself together!!
  
But when he lifted his head, before he knew it, his hand had already reached over to pick up that tube of toothpaste. Hmm, it’s lemon-flavoured, should I give it a try? 
  
“Kitty.”
  
Startled by this sudden call, Zhan Zhao turned around to see that Bai Yutang had somehow appeared at the door. “Uh, I wanted to ask…”
  
Zhan Zhao immediately threw the toothpaste back onto the washbasin. “Ask what? I’m just taking a look; I'm not going to use it! Who wants to use your toothpaste! I hate lemon flavour the most!!”
  
Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao with some surprise before his lips curved into a sly smile as he said, “Kitty, I just wanted to ask if you want your egg fried on one side or both.”
  
......//////......
  
After ten seconds, Zhan Zhao grabbed the toothpaste and threw it at Bai Yutang who was smiling at him all smugly! “You damn Mouse! Get out!”

Then, the bathroom door was slammed shut with a loud bang!
Behind the door, Zhan Zhao’s face was starting to steam while Bai Yutang who was on the other side of the door smiled from ear to ear with the toothpaste in his hand… Keke, lemon-flavoured huh~~~~

However, the delicious seafood breakfast was still able to wipe clean any bad mood Zhan Zhao had in the morning! He was a cat after all—he’ll naturally be happy as long as he has fish.
  
“Meow~~~” Bai Yutang’s phone rang and he picked it up the check the notification.
  
“From my brother??” Bai Yutang was stunned.
  
Zhan Zhao gave him a weird look. “What’s so strange about that? Weren’t you the one that gifted him that phone?”
  
“Uh… That’s not the issue,” Bai Yutang replied somewhat helplessly, “I thought he only knew how to make calls, to think he can send text messages as well.”
  
“Why are you talking about your brother like he’s an idiot??” Zhan Zhao continued eating his congee.
  
“The fact is…” Bai Yutang said while opening the message, “he is a tech idiot~~~”
(lilies: hello fellow tech dino!!)
  
  
After seeing the contents of the message, Bai Yutang fell completely silent.
  
“What’s wrong?” Zhan Zhao asked curiously.
  
“Ah~~~” Bai Yutang looked visibly confused. “This—what does it mean?” As he said that, he handed the phone to Zhan Zhao.
  
After he took it from Bai Yutang to have a look, this was how Bai Jintang’s message went: G.S. QINGJIASANTIAN2! …… >__,☆ @@@@@
  
Zhan Zhao stared at the message with furrowed brows for a long time before ultimately shaking his head at it… He didn’t understand it.
  
Bai Yutang scratched his head. “What does this G.S. mean? Is it an acronym for some organisation??”
  
Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin in thought. “Hmm… Ah!”
  
“What?” Seeing that Zhan Zhao seemed to have some clue, Bai Yutang hurriedly looked at him.
  
“The German G.S. Ohm discovered Ohm's Law!!” Zhan Zhao said with a nod of his head.
  
“Huh??” Bai Yutang looked at him all amused at how he even managed to come up with that. “You think my brother would know what ‘Ohm’s Law’ is?”
  
“…” Zhan Zhao was disappointed. “No…”
  
“What about this QINGJIASANTIAN? Is it a word?” Bai Yutang posed another question.
  
“It doesn’t seem like it. It’s definitely not an English word… It’s not French either… or Spanish…” Bai Yutang gently rubbed Zhan Zhao on the head; he couldn’t bear to see the latter rack his brain over it. “Don’t bother, Kitty, my brother only knows Mandarin.”
  
“Hasn’t he been living abroad all this while?” Zhan Zhao asked, puzzled. 
  
“Yeah, he speaks Mandarin abroad too.” Bai Yutang nodded.
  
“Then what if they don’t understand what he’s saying?” 
“He doesn’t care if people understand him or not.”
 
  
“Why don’t we just ask him.” So Bai Yutang replied to him with a “?”. 

After a long time, Bai Jintang finally replied.
When Bai Yutang pressed on the notification, it was a picture.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao leaned into the phone to get a closer look; it was a selfie: Bai Jintang was holding the phone up with a bright smile on his face, his hair messy and a duvet was covered up to his chest… Ah no, none of these were the main point!! The main point was that someone was lying in his arms—it’s Gongsun!! His bare shoulder and arm that was exposed was covered in bright red marks…
  
“Cough cough…” Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yu Tang choked on their porridge at the same time.
  
It took a long time before their brain booted back up again when they saw another sentence underneath that photo: D. JIAYOU3!!
  
It’s just that, at this moment, neither of them was in the mood to study just what those letters meant. Bai Yutang’s face was also covered in a rare blush as he grabbed Zhan Zhao who could already replace a steam engine. “Kitty, why don’t we…” 
  
“AH~~~” Zhan Zhao picked up the cushion behind him and smashed it into Bai Yutang. “Shut up!”
  
“Why? We can’t lose to them!!” Bai Yutang chased after Zhan Zhao who had made a break for it.
  
“I can’t hear you4!!! Don’t you say anymore!!!” Zhan Zhao clutched his head and rushed into the bedroom, slamming the door shut as it pushed against it with all his might such that Bai Yutang couldn’t open it.
  
“Kitty, open the door, let’s do it in the bedroom.” Bai Yutang said while rapping on the door.
  
“Shut up! Don’t say those words!!” Zhan Zhao blocked the door and berated, “You brothers are not good people!”
  
“What words? Do you mean ‘do it’?” Bai Yutang continued thumping on the door. “Kitty, let’s do it!!”
  
“Get out! Get the hell out!!” Zhan Zhao yelled, “You're not allowed near me again!!!”
  
“Kitty… I will do my best… I’ll do it better than Da G–”
“Shut up! …Don’t say that kind of thing!!!”
“Kitty…”
“Hmph!”
  
…The early bird catches the worm…
  

In the chaotic mess of rhythmic beats and loud music accompanied by the virtually hysterical screaming and swaying from the people on stage, Zhao Hu could feel his temples pounding and his head splitting from the headache it gave him. Just what kind of bands are these?
  
On his side, the music manager, Zhang Hua, said to him with a smile, “Youngsters these days like loud music like this.”
  
Zhao Hu only gave a nod without saying anything about his claim and focused his attention on Qi Le; his job was to ensure her safety.
He didn’t know why but Qi Le still decided to come to the music company's audition in the end. Due to the passing of Qi Lei, the band "Boiling Point" instantly became well known, plus Qi Le’s band got in because of a recommendation by the manager so they attracted a lot of attention in the audition room.
  
Chen Yu lightly tapped on Qi Le and pointed at Zhao Hu who was standing not far away. “Your personal bodyguard5?”
  
“Tsk…” Qi Le rolled her eyes.
  
“Not bad eh,” Chen Yu laughed, “He’s even a cop; he’s the one who saved your life the other time, isn’t he?”
  
Qi Le glanced at her. “Get your head out of the gutter. So what if he’s not bad, the other two from before were even better.”
  
“Oh yeah!” Chen Yu immediately got excited. “I like the one named Bai! There’s no end to just how handsome he is!!”
  
“Ke~~” Qi Le scoffed. “Stop being so thirsty, they’re proper people.”
  
“So what if they’re proper…” Chen Yu shrugged it off with a pout. “When we’re famous, will there be anything we can’t get?!”
  
“Sigh… We’ll talk about that when we’re famous.” Qi Le sighed before moving over to whisper in Chen Yu’s ear, “Xiao Yu, do you have…”
  
“…?” Chen Yu looked at Qi Le. “You want it?”
  
“Mhm.” Qi Le nodded. “I feel horrible. I'm scared I won't be able to make it through the performance later.”
 
 Chen Yu pulled her and said, “Let’s go.”
  
Zhao Hu caught them quietly walking towards the corridor when he turned over so he followed them.
  
“Where are you going?” He stopped Qi Le.
  
“It’s none of your business.” Qi Le glared at him.
  
Zhao Hu laughed. “I say, don’t you know what kind of predicament you’re in? Someone wants you dead and I’m protecting you.”
  
“No need!” Qi Le rolled her eyes at him. “I’m tough; even if the whole world’s dead, I’ll still be alive.”
  
“You!”
  
“Alright, alright!!” Chen Yu quickly interjected to stop them. “We’re just going to the toilet—why, do you want to join us Handsome guy?” After saying that, she pulled Qi Le and ran away.
  
“Ke~~” Zhao Hu was so angry he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Other people get to go undercover or carry out some secret movement while here I am looking after this lass…
  
He huffed to himself and walked over to wait outside the door of the ladies restroom. As annoyed as he was, he still had a job to do.
  
Because the performance studio had a pretty good sound-proofing system, none of the noise could travel outside so the entire corridor was fairly silent.
Zhao Hu could vaguely hear the conversation coming from the women’s restroom and it made it frown.
  
Qi Le leaned against the sinks as she rushed Chen Yu. “Hurry up!”
  
“Don’t be in such a hurry.” Chen Yu rummaged through her clothes pocket, took out a small pill bottle and poured out a coloured pill. “Here.”
  
“Just one? Give me another one” Qi Le took the pill from Chen Yu.
  
“Do you have a death wish? Too much of this stuff will kill you.” Chen Yu said while putting away the bottle.
  
“It doesn't work if you don’t take enough!!” Qi Le snatched the bottle over and took out another one.
  
Just when she was about to put the pill in her mouth, the door was knocked open with a loud bang.
  
Zhao Hu stormed in furiously and slapped and slapped the medicine out of Qi Le’s hand. “Didn't you promise that you wouldn't do drugs anymore?”
  
Qi Le and Chen Yu were both dumbfounded by what had just happened but quickly burst out laughing after exchanging a look. 
  
While Zhao Hu was still bewildered by their laughter, he saw Chen Yu wave the bottle at him as she said, “You think this is a drug? It’s a painkiller!” 
  
“Painkillers?” Zhao Hu was still a little puzzled. “What are you taking painkillers for?”
 
 
Qi Le was out of breath from laughing so hard. She patted Zhao Hu and said, “You’ve never had a girlfriend huh?”
 
 “…?…”
  
Seeing that Zhao Hu still had a blank look on his face, the two girls laughed even harder.
  
“Don’t you know?” Chen Yu said, “Women will hurt every month~~” With that, the two of them left the red-faced Zhao Hu and went out the toilet still guffawing. 
  
Zhao Hu sighed and once again observed a moment of silence for his misfortune. Then, he took out a piece of tissue and carefully picked up the two coloured pills from the ground, put it in his pocket, and left.
  

Outside the public toilets at the staff apartments of M University.
Wang Chao threw the leftover cigarette butt onto the ground and stomped out the flame with his foot.
  
Zhang Long checked the time on his watch. “Is there something wrong with this Jia Zhengyan? It's been ten minutes since he went in and he still hasn't come out?”
  
Wang Chao shrugged. “We’ve been following him all day and all he’s done is either go for class or just wandering around—I really don’t see anything off about him.”
  
“…Fifteen minutes now.” Zhang Long looked at his watch again.
  
Wang Chao frowned. “Something is wrong.”
  
The two men looked at each other before briskly entering the public toilet…
There they found Jia Zhengyan lying on the floor in front of the sinks.
 
“Jia Zhengyan!” One of them called out but there was no response.
  
Zhang Long went up to feel for his breath under his nose and pulse along his artery… In the end, he turned to Wang Chao and shook his head.
Wang Chao didn't say a word as he looked at the coloured pills scattered near Jia Zhengyan’s body with knitted brows.
