Status Updates From In the Dark: Vol II

With the accelerator approaching its limit, he flew at a speed that raced against even the winds that blew past him as he darted through the ambient lights of the city.

He carried his hatred from the massacre and an unsolved mystery on his shoulders, had planned for his revenge and attempted in insert himself into the life of his target, only for it all to become a sappy love story that started with a beautiful meeting and that could last for a lifetime. How awfully ironic.

I knew it! He's known this whole freaking time!! Shen Liufei!! 😮‍💨

"He wants me to ask you," the little girl clenched her teddy bear tighter, long eyelashes flickering as she said, "did you find the 'Apostle' yet?"

"Love yourself a little more. Your life doesn't just belong to you now."

Polygraph test. That head of undercover drug cops really wants XL dead.

He stood in the dark, allowing the blaze to consume him until he was burned to a crisp.
Xie Lanshan had claimed he was only interested in women. He'd believed it. He'd agonizingly believed it.

Ruh Roh

As if his heartstrings were a kite tugged on by the wind, Shen reached out and pulled Xie into an embrace. Then, he pressed his lips to the other's ear and said with confidence and gentleness, "Trust me."
The last bit of lingering frustration within Xie vanished with this warm embrace. He closed his eyes and allowed himself to drown in this rare moment of peace before he finally opened his eyes and said, "Okay."

Oh man. That Duan Licheng knew exactly what he was doing by provoking Xie Lanshan. I think he is going to keep doing those types of things to show Shen Liufei exactly what he's trying to talk to him about. That possessive nature is gonna keep breaking through.

The person on the other side of the Pacific Ocean asked, "What do you plan on doing? Expose this secret to his superiors or take care of it yourself?"
SL didn't answer immediately. He leaned on his chair and lifted his chin. His fingers tapped along to the jumping sparks of fire in the ashtray. He finally spoke up after the paper fully transformed into a pile of ashes.
"He's a good cop. I plan on giving up now."

Oh God.... He's gonna end up being the murderer of Shen Liufei's mom.... isn't he..............

She lifted her head and stared at Sui Hong, then questioned him in a hoarse, painful voice, "How would you ask Buddha to accept that he had become a demon without knowing..."

Holy fudgecicles!! I KNEW it! w(ﾟДﾟ)w

Their eyes met. Within the man's gaze, se could see ever-changing and shifting emotion. That clear, saintly, and sympathetic expression deepened into a dark void. Suddenly, this man wasn't Officer Xie on the ship who broke his own thumb to save everyone on board but someone completely different.
Just before stepping out, Xie Lanshan lifted a finger and placed it against his lips. Silence fell over the room.

The words stopped abruptly. Zuo Ruoqi's blood froze, chills spreading through every inch of her body. Shivering instinctively, she looked into Xie Lanshan's eyes.
At this moment, she finally understood the meaning behind his gaze.

Shen Liufei lifted his eyes to Xie Lanshan, then walked over without removing his gaze. The cold and calm gaze shifted within a splint second, exposing something passionate and hidden beneath that quickly set aflame like a field on fire.

"...Letting these underage criminals sink to the bottom of the ocean is a much fairer punishment than a chance to repent and redeem themselves, but someone important to me is also on the ship; I also long to see him, to embrace and kiss him again, just as you wish to see your daughter." Shen Liufei didn't shy away from his feelings in front of Tao L and admitted, "I really miss him, so I want him to return safely."

"It's also his damn birthday today," Captain Tao said sourly. "I wonder how he's doing right now."
Shen Liufei's heart tightened in worry and pain, but he didn't speak up.

Hey, Shen Liufei, do you know how much I yearn for you? It's like I'm stuck in this cursed snowstorm while you're bathing in a spring field of fresh flowers.

“What kind of cursed luck is this? How come he keeps getting himself involved in these huge, dangerous cases?!”
….
He let out a faint sigh. For a split second, he swore he couldn’t hear his own heartbeat. Finally, he managed to catch his breath. In face of the current situation, he couldn’t tell whether he was relieved or worried.

Yeah I do not blame Song Qilian one bit. DNA or fingerprints will reveal suspicions.
