Bai Wu picked up the drawing in front of him, which was a portrait of that woman.

She looked to be in her early twenties, with a straight nose and slender, upturned eyes. He hadn’t looked closely before, but now he noticed that she had a remarkably beautiful face.

However, her style was completely different from Cheng Yan’s. Cheng Yan leaned towards cute, while she was more mature, with a face that radiated fortitude and aloofness.Full novel: The Anomaly Bureau — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open, accompanied by Cheng Yan’s angry voice: “Boss! You’re going too far! I waited for you all afternoon, and you didn’t even tell me you were leaving!

My [Hypnosis] has a time limit, do you know how long I had to explain to that Miss Guo afterwards!”

Bai Wu had been busy with the woman’s matter until late at night, and only when he saw Cheng Yan did he realize that he had completely forgotten about her. He quickly apologized, “Sorry, sorry. I was wrong this time. I’ll treat you to cake next time.”

Hearing this, Cheng Yan instantly stopped being angry, and a smile returned to her face: “It’s a deal.”

“What’s a deal?” A stern voice suddenly rang out, startling Cheng Yan.

She quickly looked towards the door, where Cheng Miao had already walked in, looking at Bai Wu with unfriendly eyes: “I told you, you can’t let her eat too much, several of her teeth are already rotten.”

Bai Wu looked at Cheng Yan. Cheng Yan was usually lively and boisterous in front of him, but as soon as her brother was around, she immediately transformed into a well-behaved girl, hugging her brother’s arm and acting coquettish: “Brother, it’s not that I was looking for him to help. He insisted on buying me cake, but I really didn’t want to eat it.

But… but his attitude was so sincere, he acted like he wouldn’t give up until I ate it, so I reluctantly ate a little. Just a little bit.”

Bai Wu chuckled and shook his head, continuing to draw the portrait.

Cheng Miao wasn’t stupid and knew that his sister must have asked for it, but he couldn’t bear to scold her, so he said to Bai Wu: “Don’t buy it for her in the future. If I see it again, I’ll throw it all away.”

He was obviously talking to Cheng Miao, but Cheng Yan pouted and changed the subject: “By the way, where’s Feng Zhiyue? I didn’t see him? Didn’t I call you all together? You didn’t come. I was left alone to deal with Miss Guo.”

“We were handling another matter. We had just gone in when you called. When we finished dealing with that matter and called Bai Wu, he said it was already resolved. So I let Feng Zhiyue go back first. And don’t change the subject.”

“Boss, what are you drawing?” Cheng Yan ignored Cheng Miao’s words and crowded next to Bai Wu. When she saw what he was drawing, she took a deep breath and shouted, “Brother, let’s not talk about you, but the boss is in love!”

Hearing this, Cheng Miao was taken aback and hurriedly crowded over as well: “What? What are you drawing?”

Bai Wu was so startled that his hand stopped, and he shouted, “Don’t talk nonsense! How is that possible!”

Cheng Yan pointed at the woman in the drawing: “Then why are you drawing a woman, and a beautiful woman at that, but why does she have that kind of expression? Although she’s smiling, it’s like she’s mocking you.”

Bai Wu looked at the drawing. He had drawn it too carefully and hadn’t paid much attention, but the man in the drawing did indeed have that expression. Maybe because that was the expression he saw on her face at the time.

“It’s not that I’m saying,” Cheng Yan completely ignored Bai Wu’s words and transformed into a relationship mentor, “Judging from this beauty’s expression, she doesn’t seem to be too interested in you.

Of course, boss, you have money but no money, looks but no looks, body but no body. Capturing the hearts of most women isn’t a problem, but this man looks like the kind with very high demands.

Facing such a woman, just having these things isn’t enough. You have to do something big in front of her to…”

Before she could finish speaking, Cheng Miao slapped her on the head.

Cheng Yan yelped in pain and looked at him aggrievedly: “Brother, why did you hit me?”

“Because you’re asking for a beating. Shut up if you don’t want to get hit again.”

Although Cheng Yan was angry, she didn’t dare to say anything and could only glare at him with aggrieved eyes.

Cheng Miao also walked over and looked down at the portrait: “Is she the Robber?”

Bai Wu had always known that Cheng Miao was smart, but he didn’t expect him to be this smart, and he was really surprised: “I only told the Commander about this, how did you know?”

Cheng Yan was also very surprised and no longer sulking, asking curiously: “Yeah, yeah, brother, how could the Robber be her? They all said it was a man.”

Cheng Miao retorted: “Who said it was a man?”

“I heard those people who escaped from the Milk Tea Shop say it. They said she shattered the car window with an elbow, and her voice was very thin.”

“Shattering the car window with an elbow only shows that she has some strength, and her voice can also be disguised. Bai Wu wouldn’t draw a person for no reason. He’s drawing her now, so obviously this person is very important at this stage.

The most important person at this stage, the only one I can think of, is that Robber. Moreover, I heard that Bai Wu chased the Robber for a distance. You know Bai Wu’s strength, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to cut off a mask.”

“But,” Cheng Yan interjected, “Why can’t it be a woman he likes? He suddenly saw this beauty in the crowd today and fell in love, so it’s reasonable for him to draw her down.”

Cheng Miao shook his head: “You know Bai Wu’s personality very well. If he likes someone, he wouldn’t go back and secretly draw her. He would definitely go up and flirt. If it worked out, he should still be on a date inside now, and if it didn’t work out, he would be hiding in a corner crying alone now.”

Cheng Yan suddenly understood: “I see. Too bad, I really wanted to see the boss cry his eyes out. Boss, when were you rejected?”

Bai Wu had just finished drawing and glared at her after hearing her words: “I’m not sick.”

Cheng Miao said: “Okay, Cheng Yan, don’t bother him, he still has to give the drawing to the Commander.”

Hearing this, Bai Wu was surprised again: “How did you know?”

“Because you didn’t catch up with that girl.”

“So?”

“To be able to escape from your hands, either she’s too powerful, or you deliberately let her go. She kidnapped Qian Kefu but didn’t ask for a ransom. If it wasn’t for him, then it could only be for you.

I guess she should know something about the MIB, so you can’t hand her over to the police and can only let her go. Because you already know her appearance, it’s not difficult to find her. I guess now the Commander wants you to draw her face first, to issue a wanted order.”

Bai Wu couldn’t help but say, “6.”

“I’ll wait for you here for a while. You give this to the Commander first, then come back and pick me up. I have something to discuss with you.”
