Chapter 229 Illusion
So Wang Tian remained firmly on Qu Ying's side and even said to Bai Mengfei on his behalf, "Zhang Ting, don't overthink it. Maybe Captain Zhao and Forensic Doctor Xiang will call us back in a little while."
"You might be wrong!" Bai Mengfei was a little annoyed, angry that this girl was so confused that she couldn't even tell the difference between good and bad people.
However, Bai Mengfei didn't want to continue arguing with her, because she knew in her heart that there was no point in continuing.
At this moment, she even considered giving up on this silly girl!
She let out a slow sigh of relief, then turned around and walked towards the car.
Wang Tian hurriedly chased after him, saying as she ran, "Don't be so angry! Let's talk it out!"
Seeing that Qu Ying hadn't followed, Bai Mengfei said to Wang Tian, "This Qu Ying is too suspicious. If you listen to me, come with me and stay away from him. If you don't, you'll definitely regret it."
With her years of experience, Bai Mengfei is quite adept at judging people.
Wang Tian still didn't believe it, and even speculated about the reason for Bai Mengfei's reaction. She said to Bai Mengfei, "You must be too worried about Forensic Doctor Xiang, which is why you're overthinking things. But you're really overthinking it. I don't think Team Leader Qu is as bad as you say."
"Since you won't listen to me, then don't follow me anymore."
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Wang Tian actually stopped in her tracks and chose to stand on Qu Ying's side.
At this moment, Bai Mengfei's heart turned cold from the inside out, but what could she do if the girl wouldn't listen to her?
At the same time, Qu Ying took out a knife from behind, but when he saw a car parked outside the fence, he didn't make a move, worried that there might be some equipment in the car recording the scene.
He watched Bai Mengfei walk away, his eyes already revealing a strong killing intent.
Unable to persuade Bai Mengfei, Wang Tian had no choice but to turn around and go back.
As she walked back, she looked at Qu Ying and said disappointedly, "There's nothing I can do, I can't persuade her..."
Bai Mengfei had already left in a hurry, her emotions were very complicated.
She felt it wasn't right to just abandon Wang Tian like this. But then she thought, what good would it do if she stayed?
She felt that staying would be pointless!
So she resolutely chose to leave, though deep down she still harbored a faint longing.
She hoped that as she walked along, she would unexpectedly see Xiang Yuntian walking towards her, even though she knew that this was almost impossible.
However, she still held onto a sliver of hope.
So she walked to the street, got into a taxi, and decided to go back to the hotel to pack her things first, and then go back to their district to check on Zhao Fei's situation.
At this point, Xiang Yuntian had already given up struggling. He sat dejectedly in front of a cargo box, holding his head in his hands, enduring the excruciating pain, and trying to recall everything.
He couldn't understand why he was here, nor did he know who had kidnapped him. His mind was in complete chaos.
Just as he was lost in thought, a mouse crawled past him and headed toward the light.
This made him realize that he should also leave this place.
So he stood up and, still half-asleep, followed the mouse that had scurried past, only to discover a ventilation shaft.
Once you can climb up successfully, you can leave this place.
So he moved a box over, stepped onto it, and opened the metal cover of the ventilation duct. There were no screws on the cover; he could simply pry it open with his hand.
However, it takes a lot of courage for a person to climb up, because it is dark and damp inside.
After he climbed in, he kept his head down and kept crawling forward.
As he moved around, he gradually recalled many things: his past experiences performing autopsies, and the feeling that someone was always by his side.
But he couldn't remember who the person who had always been with him was.
He climbed to the end of the ventilation duct in one go and then jumped down safely. It was about two stories high, so injury was inevitable after the jump.
As soon as he jumped, he felt a sharp pain in his left leg, as if it were about to break. So he gritted his teeth, grabbed the wall for support, and stood up, but dared not move easily.
He waited there for a while, and the pain in his leg lessened considerably before he looked around. But he still didn't know where to go.
He looked around somewhat confusedly, then finally determined his direction and headed southeast, because that was a residential area with relatively bright lights.
Meanwhile, Bai Mengfei had already returned to her hotel by taxi. As she was packing her things in her room, something suddenly occurred to her.
Even if I go back now, it won't help; Qu Ying still has ways to deal with me. Besides, I can't get through to Zhao Fei on the phone; even if I go back, I might not be able to find him, right?
On the contrary, Xiang Yuntian should still be here, and I have already called Jiang Shuai over. Would it be inappropriate to just leave like this?
Also, Wang Tian, that silly girl, trusts Qu Ying so much now and insists on staying here. If I just leave like this, wouldn't that be too disloyal?
So she finally put down what she was holding, sat down somewhat helplessly, and thought she still had to think of another way to leave.
Just as she was sitting there lost in thought, Qu Ying actually brought Wang Tian back!
Bai Mengfei was naturally a little surprised, not expecting Qu Ying to be so kind. In fact, Qu Ying's move was easy to understand; it was like the ancient military strategy of "feigning weakness to lure the enemy into a trap."
However, Bai Mengfei still couldn't see through his true intentions.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Qu Ying asked with a forced smile.
Bai Mengfei smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for bringing Wang Tian back, Team Leader Qu."
After saying that, she quickly walked over and pulled Wang Tian behind her.
Actually, if it weren't for the fact that they were colleagues, she wouldn't want to bother with Wang Tian at all. It's just that Wang Tian never listens to advice!
Wang Tian, however, began to feel somewhat disgusted by Bai Mengfei's actions!
This young girl was misled by the beautiful illusion of love; you could tell from the way she looked at Qu Ying.
