Chapter 272 Contract
Chapter 272 Contract
"You..." Zhao Fei was so angry that he couldn't speak. His eyes widened as he stared at Xiang Yuntian, his eyes filled with shock. "How could you back down at such a crucial moment?"
"If you're so capable, then you do it!"
After saying this, Xiang Yuntian turned his face away and refused to look at Zhao Fei again.
However, Zhao Fei was also helpless against Bai Mengfei.
At this moment, Bai Mengfei said to Fan Tian, "You don't want to talk, huh? Fine, just sit there. I have plenty of time to waste with you. You intentionally injured someone, so you should be detained. If you don't talk, I'll keep asking, but I won't do anything to you. I want to see how long you can hold out without eating, drinking, or sleeping."
Upon hearing this, Fan Tian panicked and suddenly pretended to be in severe stomach pain, saying, "Ouch, I can't take it anymore. I need to be released on medical parole. My stomach hurts so much I can't stand it anymore."
"Does your stomach hurt?" Bai Mengfei immediately stood up, tilted her head, and stared at him. "Sure, I'm a forensic doctor, and I'm best at dealing with the dead. Let me treat you."
Fan Tian was so frightened that his face changed drastically. He quickly backed away, shouting frantically to prevent Bai Mengfei from getting close.
Bai Mengfei immediately raised her hands and said, "These hands of mine have touched countless dead people. If I touch you, you're in for a world of trouble. If you still don't talk, you'd better watch out!"
Fan Tian was completely stunned by Bai Mengfei, because here, even if he shouted himself hoarse, it would be to no avail.
In the end, he could only compromise, saying, "Fine, I'll talk! But you have to reduce my sentence, and besides, it wasn't murder, it was manslaughter!"
"Fine, go ahead and say it." Bai Mengfei stared at him coldly.
After considering it for a moment, Fan Tian saw that Bai Mengfei was not easy to deal with, so he took a step back and said, "Could we find a small room so we can talk alone?"
When Zhao Fei saw that the case had made progress, his eyes lit up.
He was initially quite opposed to Bai Mengfei's actions, but now he immediately agreed and even helped to clear out a room for her to use.
The change in attitude was so rapid, it was comparable to the face-changing act in Sichuan opera.
Bai Mengfei was assigned to Zhao Fei's office. She sat in Zhao Fei's seat, crossed her legs, and drank the coffee that Zhao Fei had personally brewed for her.
"Can we talk now?"
Bai Mengfei asked Fan Tian while drinking her coffee.
Fan Tian hesitated for a moment before lowering his voice and saying, "Actually, it's just as you guessed. The mastermind is Zheng Yueru. You know Zheng Yueru, right? We can't afford to offend her."
"What's so intimidating about him? He's just a guy who makes money by leading others to superstitions," Bai Mengfei said coldly.
Fan Tian sighed helplessly and said, "That's not all. Listen to me, she's incredibly capable!"
Before Fan Tian could finish speaking, Bai Mengfei slammed her hand on the table and said angrily, "Enough! You know what you're going to say. I don't want to hear this nonsense, understand?"
"Okay, then what do you want to hear? I'll tell you everything!"
Bai Mengfei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and said, "I want to hear how Zheng Yueru instigated you to commit the crime. You know the answer to that, so I don't need to explain it too clearly, do I?"
"You're trying to trick me into giving the wrong answer." It seems Fan Tian is trying to play the rogue again.
Bai Mengfei's eyes darkened, and she said coldly, "Hmm? Are you sure you want to say that?"
Fan Tian was the kind of person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Seeing Bai Mengfei's face darken, he became somewhat frightened and shifted uncomfortably. Then he said, "Alright, I'll be honest with you. It's just as you said. She asked me to kill someone."
"Anything else?" Bai Mengfei asked coldly.
"And..." Fan Tian hesitated for a moment before whispering, "And the person she originally wanted me to kill wasn't that woman, but that guy named Li Tie, the one you provided evidence against and sent to prison."
Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei said angrily, "I never thought I would actually be used by her. What a clever trick to kill someone with a borrowed knife!"
Fan Tian wasn't stupid either. He realized that Bai Mengfei and Zheng Yueru knew each other, so he immediately said, "Judging from your tone, you two should know each other. Why don't you just go find her?"
"What business is it of yours to interfere in my affairs? You should explain your situation clearly first! If you don't, you'll be in big trouble for possessing a controlled knife and injuring someone, plus the charge of suspected murder."
Startled by Bai Mengfei's words, Fan Tian had no choice but to tell the truth: "Sigh, alright! I'll tell you, actually Li Tie is Zheng Yueru's cousin. Their elders passed away in another city, and now there's a matter of inheritance. Although Li Tie isn't the eldest son, he's a boy, so his grandfather's inheritance should rightfully go to him, understand?"
"Just because of money, you'd kill someone?"
"Yes, it's all about profit. But she gave me a pitiful amount of money and was always yelling at me. She only gave me a million to do this. Her family has hundreds of millions in assets! Humph!"
Bai Mengfei lowered her gaze, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Well, who did she want you to kill later at the hotel?"
“A lawyer,” Fan Tian said in a low voice.
Bai Mengfei thought for a moment, then frowned and asked in a low voice, "Lawyer? Which lawyer?"
“It was the lawyer who handled that will!” Fan Tian said. “As for why he killed that lawyer, I don’t know either.”
Bai Mengfei lowered her head, silently sorting out the whole story. After much deliberation, she said, "Although Li Tie is in prison, he's not dead! So..."
Before Bai Mengfei could finish speaking, Fan Tian revealed another shocking secret: "I think you're quite smart, so I'll tell you. Actually, Li Tie is also about to die."
"Huh?" Bai Mengfei's face showed a look of shock.
Fan Tian hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I can tell you all of this, but you have to promise to help me escape. If you promise to help me in private, I will tell you everything."
Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment, and surprisingly agreed. She nodded and said with a smile, "No problem, we can even draft a contract."
"Really?" Fan Tian was overjoyed. "If it's true, I'll tell you everything once I get the money and run away. Anyway, I really hate that Zheng Yueru."
"Okay!" After agreeing, Bai Mengfei immediately printed out a contract using Zhao Fei's printer. She then picked up a pen and red ink from Zhao Fei's desk and signed this absurd contract with Fan Tian.
It's often said that the older generation emphasizes the importance of reading more books, and there's definitely some truth to that!
Fan Tian thought he was very clever, but he was just being cunning.
It would be absurd if such a contract could be enforced in court!
