Chapter 763: He can’t be stumped by 770 door locks_1
"Well..." Bai Hu didn’t spill everything, simply stating. "The person at the top must be someone influential, but it’s not your job to worry about this. You just handle our government contacts!"
Qin Muchuan squinted slightly. "Brother Bai, we’ve been cooperating so well, but now you’re keeping secrets. That doesn’t seem right, does it?"
Bai Hu turned serious. "I believe whether you know about this matter or not doesn’t make much of a difference!"
"It seems you still don’t regard me as one of your own!" Qin Muchuan’s face soured, clearly displeased.
"Heh heh... take your time. Whatever money I owe you, I assure you, I will not cheat you out of a cent!"
Recognizing Bai Hu’s deflection, the smug Qin Muchuan dismissively exhaled a cloud of smoke. "Whatever. As long as you give me what’s mine, it’s all good."
Bai Hu could sense Qin Muchuan’s dissatisfaction. "In due time, you will naturally come to understand. There’s no need to rush things!"
"What a joke? Of course, I’m not in a rush. But I am questioning your sincerity. I feel like I’ve fallen into a trap, like there’s a bigger catch!" Qin Muchuan frowned, voicing his unease.
"Ha ha... A bigger catch? There might be, but a trap? I assure you, there’s none of that! All you’ll find is more money. Lots more money!"
"Here’s to our common interests. Cheers!" Qin Muchuan drank up.

"That Bai Hu, a true old fox, I still haven’t figured out who’s pulling his strings!" Xiao Qingyao suppressed his frustration, careful to keep his anger in check.
He wished he could capture this Bai Hu and put him through severe interrogations.
Of course, such crudely simplistic methods will not be effective against such a cunning for, they must be careful, collect evidence of their crimes, and leave the international organization with nothing to say.
"Hmm, the batch of drugs that came in before, did you deal with it?" Qin Muchuan asked.
"No problem, we arrested them all during the transaction!" Xiao Qingyao confirmed.
"Hmm, we can’t let these people go, they must spew out everything they’ve earned in the future!" Qin Muchuan declared with particular resentment.
"The amount in the next shipment is even bigger, I think this is an opportunity!"
"Chuanchuan, we need to perform for them again, gain their trust, and avoid any rash actions!" Xiao Qingyao advised.
"Okay!"

After ending his call, Qin Muchuan stepped out of the car and rang the doorbell of a certain apartment.
The electronic door announced the arrival of a guest several times but there was no response from the people upstairs.
Then, he rang the bell a second time.
Tongtong wanted to open the door, but she waited for her mother’s permission.
She called softly again. "Mom..."
Lin Xiangwan remained silent.
Ranran, on the other hand, was stirring up trouble on the side, opposing their sister. "Sis, stop taking dad’s side. I don’t want him to come in, I don’t want to see him!"
"Ranran, shut up!" Tongtong quietly rebuked.
"I won’t!"
She shot her a warning glare.
Seeing her daughter’s anxiety, Lin Xiangwan was left speechless. "Let your dad in. If you have something to say, say it to your dad. I’m going back to my room!"
Lin Xiangwan unlocked the door and retreated to her room.
Qin Muchuan downstairs was about to use his key. If she didn’t open the door, he could find a way up on his own.
Feeling rather pleased with himself, he assumed that this woman still had feelings for him and was willing to give him another chance.
As he went upstairs, he mused, a man should be handsome, wealthy, and good in bed. This way, even if the woman is jealous, she would still be willing to give him a second chance.
See, didn’t she open the door for him?
But being good to his wife was no loss to him. He hadn’t changed his heart and he was a man loyal to his marriage and his wife.
The delighted Qin Muchuan, upon entering his well-lit home and standing in the hallway, noticed there were only two kids.
"Dad, you’re truly untrustworthy. I really can’t trust you anymore!" Ranran really wanted to scold their dad, but her sister insisted they could never scold their dad again.
Otherwise, she would stop helping her at school.
So she was angry but dared not speak out.
Qin Muchuan ruffled Ranran’s hair, crouched down, cupped the child’s face, and gave her a big bite. "No matter what, I’m your father. Whether you’re disappointed or not, you should respect me. Understand?"
Feeling slightly tipsy from the alcohol, Qin Muchuan was rather unreasonable.
Ranran scrubbed her cheek vigorously and said unhappily, "I’m going to bed, I have nothing to say to you, Dad!"
With that, she ran back to her room.
Tongtong stayed in the living room, watching their father.
The accusatory stare from his daughter gave Qin Muchuan a headache. "Tongtong, come to Dad!"
Tongtong took two steps forward.
"Two more steps!"
Tongtong walked a few more steps. "Dad, why are you back with that woman again? Mom had already forgiven you. You’ve made Mom sad again!"
"Did your mother cry?" Qin Muchuan asked in a low voice.
"She’s very upset!"
"Did she curse at Dad?" Qin Muchuan asked again.
"No!"
Qin Muchuan smiled. "Good, I’ll go see your mother. You go to bed, good girl!"
In truth, he wished she had cried. Crying at least provides a release. Holding it in makes it even more painful.
When Lin Xiangwan heard him enter, her indignation took over. "How did you get in?"
The door was locked.
Qin Muchuan waved a small piece of wire in his hand. "This kind of lock is very simple. You don’t even need a key to open it!"
...Damn...
She almost forgot, he was once a Special Soldier, probably well-trained in all sorts of survival skills.
Qin Muchuan threw the wire aside, laughing. "I’m quite thankful for learning all these skills back in the day, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy to get in!"
"Qin Muchuan, do you find this funny? Don’t you think you’re very annoying?" Lin Xiangwan couldn’t control her anger and shouted.
"Xiangwan, why don’t you hit me?" He moved toward her, grabbed her hand, and offered himself as a target.
Lin Xiangwan fought hard to pull away, angrily saying, "Hit you? I have no desire to hit you. What good would that do?"
"Then you want to scold me, go ahead!" Qin Muchuan fixed his gaze on her.
Lin Xiangwan was still not interested. "I don’t want to scold!"
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Just leave!" Lin Xiangwan barked.
"I don’t want to leave!" He held her tight, whispering in her ear. "As long as you don’t ask me to leave, anything goes!"
