<h4>Chapter 1683: Where is Traceless? (3)</h4>


    “They hired Liang Liang specially for the crime unit that is tracking Traceless. After all these years, he’s the one that knows Traceless the best. Tracelesses and goes silently, there are less than a handful of people in this world who know her true identity. But in his relentless pursuit of Traceless, he got to know her.”


    Qiao Lian was stunned and asked, “Are you saying that they fell in love?”


    Shen Liangchuan nodded and replied, “That’s not too far from the truth. They liked each other and gradually found out that it was mutual. At some point, they met up frequently.”


    Qiao Lian frowned and asked, “What happened then?”


    A police officer falling in love with a thief.


    What could be the result?


    Shen Liangchuan cast his gaze down and continued, “You can see what happened. Traceless disappeared and Liang Liang has been hunting her all over the world. About what happened between them, I heard rumors, but it was just talk. The people involved never told anyone, so I can’t be sure either.”


    Qiao Lian was stunned. “Well then, you have no idea whose fault it was. Why are you so mean to Liang Liang?”


    Shen Liangchuan spoke with a mocking tone. “I just feel that a man who can’t even protect the woman he loves is a good-for-nothing. Besides, a woman like Traceless has the courage to take responsibility for her own actions. When she fell in love, she did wholeheartedly. So even if I don’t know the full story, I still think Liang Liang is at fault.”


    Qiao Lian fell silent. After a moment, she took a deep breath and spoke, “If you were a police officer and I were a thief, what would you do?”


    Shen Liangchuan was silent for a while before he reached out and drew her into his embrace. He said, “I don’t know how others prioritize responsibility and love. I’m not a police officer and have never trained to be one. I’m an ordinary man and nothing else is more important than you.”


    Just as he said these words, the baby started crying.


    Qiao Lian: ...


    Shen Liangchuan: ...


    At a loss for words, Qiao Lian finally said, “Alright, alright. Your son needs to change his diapers and that’s more important than your wife. Hurry!”


    –


    Liang Liang left the hospital. Bai Anan was waiting for him in the parking lot. When she saw him, she immediately greeted him and asked, “How was it? Any clues?”


    Looking gloomy, he replied, “He really didn’t cooperate.”


    This angered Bai Anan, who said, “How could he?! I’ll go and talk to him! If he doesn’t cooperate, we’ll find an excuse to take him back to the police station.”


    Liang Liang stopped her and said, “Where do you think we are? This is Beijing. Stop your nonsense. Shen Liangchuan’s family is not a regr one, we shouldn’t mess with them.”


    She stamped her foot in anger and said, “So what do we do now?”


    He suddenly said, “I don’t think it’s him.”


    Bai Anan was surprised. “Why?”


    “If he had wanted to hire Traceless to steal the bracelet, why didn’t he do it during the wedding? You know how Traceless works. Usually when she gets a job, she does it the following day. However the day she stole it was the day that Shen Liangchuan’s good friend, Mo Xicheng, was getting married. I just think that it doesn’t make sense.”


    Bai Anan fell silent for a moment and then said, “But if it wasn’t Shen Liangchuan behind this, then who could it be?”


    Suddenly, both of their eyes lit up at once.
