Chapter 379 Meeting by Name
Chapter 379 Meeting by Name
"Where did Forensic Doctor Xiang go?" Kelly pressed.
Bai Mengfei said calmly, "I'm leaving."
"Gone? Where did he go?" Kelly asked nervously, grabbing Bai Mengfei's left hand with her right hand while scrutinizing Bai Mengfei's icy face with sharp eyes.
Bai Mengfei didn't want to respond, and secretly turned her face away, saying, "If there's nothing else, you can go back first. I need to get ready, I have to go to work soon."
Just as Bai Mengfei was about to close the door, Kelly reached out to stop her, urgently asking, "Where did he go?"
Look at Kelly's posture, it's like she's about to make a move at any moment.
Bai Mengfei knew perfectly well that if Kelly really attacked her, she would be the one who suffered. Therefore, Bai Mengfei wasn't afraid at all; instead, she looked at Kelly with a slightly displeased expression and coldly asked, "So what exactly do you want?"
"Heh, what do I want to do?" Kelly's eyes instantly turned fierce. "I want you to stay away from Xiang Yuntian, or I'll make you disappear from this world completely!"
After all, Kelly came back from the United States, and her behavior was influenced by her ideology; there are indeed some things she is capable of doing.
Bai Mengfei remained completely unfazed, her heart as calm as still water. "Oh? Is that so? Then I'll see how you make me disappear. Let me tell you, the more you act like this, the less likely I am to tell you where he went."
After saying that, Bai Mengfei closed the door directly, and Kelly's hands couldn't stop her at all.
After washing up, Bai Mengfei opened the door to go to the police station, only to find Kelly sitting right outside.
As soon as she saw Bai Mengfei come out, Kelly immediately placed her hand on the door frame, blocking Bai Mengfei's way.
Is the height of that raised hand meant to make Bai Mengfei crawl through?
Without hesitation, Bai Mengfei raised her right hand and forcefully slapped Kelly's hand away, then walked forward. Kelly, her hand knocked away, took a few steps back, angrily shouting, "I know karate and judo! How dare you lay a hand on me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Kelly rushed over and reached out her right hand, trying to grab Bai Mengfei's hair.
With a "snap," before her hand could even touch Bai Mengfei's hair, Bai Mengfei grabbed her hand in mid-air.
"Have you made enough of a scene?" Bai Mengfei asked coldly.
At this moment, Bai Mengfei used some force, making it impossible for Kelly to move her hand in or out. Kelly secretly tried to pull her hand back, but she couldn't break free no matter what she did. Finally, she had no choice but to give up and said, "Let go of me!"
Bai Mengfei then let go of her hand and told her, "Forensic Doctor Xiang has gone back to the city center to handle a case. Don't bother me again! Otherwise, next time, we'll see who deals with whom!" After saying that, Bai Mengfei hurriedly left so as not to be late.
Kelly stood alone in the hallway, waging a fierce internal struggle.
At this moment, she felt both inferior and resentful, because she knew that she couldn't even beat Bai Mengfei in a fight, and she felt that the distance between Xiang Yuntian and her seemed to have grown even further.
Back at the police station, Bai Mengfei saw Zhu Heng walking quickly towards her.
"Why are you so late today? Where is Forensic Doctor Xiang? Didn't he come with you?" Zhu Heng asked anxiously.
Bai Mengfei nodded gently and said, "Yes, Forensic Doctor Xiang went back to help Captain Zhao investigate a case. I'll stay here today to assist with the investigation."
"Oh dear, what should we do?" Zhu Heng's face showed great disappointment.
Bai Mengfei glanced at him and asked softly, "What do you mean, what should we do?"
"The criminals contacted us this morning, specifically requesting that you meet them on the mountain road for the transaction. Originally, the plan was for you and Forensic Doctor Xiang to go together, which would have given me more peace of mind. But now that Forensic Doctor Xiang is gone, can you manage on your own?"
Bai Mengfei suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why did the thugs target her as soon as Xiang Yuntian left, and even specifically ask her to go?
Could there be any connection between these two?
Just as Bai Mengfei was lost in thought, Zhu Heng's subordinates brought two bags of money and handed them to Bai Mengfei, saying, "We must rescue Zhen Liang today, no matter what."
"Could this be a trap?" Having gone through so much, Bai Mengfei became more cautious and kept a close eye on things.
Zhu Heng thought for a moment and then said, "You don't need to worry about that. We'll lay a trap there, and as soon as the criminals show up, we'll catch them immediately!"
“Okay!” Bai Mengfei agreed.
Around nine o'clock in the morning, Bai Mengfei drove alone to that highway.
As soon as she got off the bus, her phone rang; it was a call from the criminals.
The assailant demanded that she immediately go to the small pavilion over there, put the money inside, and then come out.
She decisively walked over and did as the thug instructed. After finishing, she stood outside the pavilion, gazing at the gray sky, and asked, "Any other requests?"
"Yes!" came the thug's sarcastic, low voice. "You can get in the car now and come see me."
"I'm coming to see you? Where are you?" Bai Mengfei looked around but didn't find anything suspicious, nor did she see any cameras or anything like that.
The thug pondered for a moment before saying, "You'll find out when you drive."
Bai Mengfei had no choice but to follow his instructions and start the car. After driving for more than 500 meters, the assailant told her to turn. Somehow, she ended up in the grove of trees where the crime scene was located.
"You can get off the bus now!" the assailant said.
"What exactly do you want? Didn't you want money? Why did you bring me here?" Bai Mengfei asked as she got out of the car.
However, there was no response, so Bai Mengfei had no choice but to get out of the car and slowly walk towards the woods. Then, she had to follow the thugs' instructions and head towards the wooden house.
She already had a thought in her mind: "He might be trying to trick me into going in and then lock me inside."
So when she reached the cabin, she stopped and said to the thugs, "I'm just here to deliver money!"
"I know, but if you don't listen to me now, Zhen Liang will be dead! Do you want to just watch him die?"
A thought suddenly popped into Bai Mengfei's mind: Could Zhen Liang be the murderer?
That's possible!
After all, many murderers are very good at disguising themselves; they can even deceive themselves and put on a show of deep affection.
Just as Bai Mengfei was pondering, the murderer said again, "What are you still standing there for? Go inside!"
"Are you waiting for me to go in so you can lock the door? Heh, are you trying to imprison me?" Bai Mengfei said definitively.
The voice from the other end grew low and hoarse: "Do you know that throughout history, those who think themselves clever have often had short lives?"
The voice grew louder towards the end, carrying a clear sense of threat.
