"Don't hesitate, call the police immediately!"

Anyone who dares to do such a thing in broad daylight is no ordinary person. A slight misstep could result in both of them suffering the consequences.

So Bai Mengfei quickly called out to the young man.

The young man nodded in agreement and promptly did as instructed.

But who could have predicted that at that moment, the thug suddenly rushed over and punched the young man, knocking him to the ground and sending his phone flying.

The young man quickly braced himself with his hands on the ground, trying to stand up.

Unexpectedly, the assailant strode forward and stomped hard on his back. Bai Mengfei witnessed this and was truly shocked.

She never imagined that her efforts to seek justice for the deceased would implicate others.

"Get out of my way!"

Seeing the assailant pull out a knife, Bai Mengfei had no intention of taking a life, so she rushed over and forcefully pushed the assailant away.

The young man thus narrowly escaped death.

"Run!" Bai Mengfei hurriedly grabbed him and ran away.

The two ran outside, along the street, all the way to the square before stopping.

At this moment, Bai Mengfei's phone was missing, and the young man's phone was also lost. The two stood there, somewhat at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Perhaps feeling that he was older than Bai Mengfei and should make the decision, the young man said, "Shall we go call the police?"

"Call the police?" Bai Mengfei was more worried about Xiang Yuntian's safety at this moment: "Go ahead. When you get to the police station, just say that you know Xiang Yuntian, and then tell them to come to the hotel to find us."

The young man was really worried about Bai Mengfei going back alone, so he asked, "What about you?"

"I have to go back to my friend."

"No, that person might still be there. It's too dangerous for you to go back."

"It's okay, don't worry about me, I know what I'm doing."

After saying that, Bai Mengfei hailed a passing taxi, got in, and returned to the hotel.

This time, she entered the hotel through the main entrance, informed the security guards of the situation as soon as she arrived, and then decided to go with the security guards to rescue Xiang Yuntian.

To their surprise, the two ran into Xiang Yuntian as soon as they reached the third floor.

Just then, Shao Tian was about to go downstairs, his eyes darting around as if he were looking for something. Upon seeing Bai Mengfei, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why didn't you stay in the car and wait for me?"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and went downstairs with Bai Mengfei and the security guard.

As they went downstairs, Bai Mengfei told him the whole story.

After hearing this, Xiang Yuntian was astonished and asked in surprise, "Such a thing actually happened?"

“That’s right.” Bai Mengfei answered confidently, “And it’s not just that. I can’t explain it to you in a short time. Let’s go to the parking lot and talk about it.”

After saying that, the three of them went to the parking lot.

Upon arriving there, Bai Mengfei saw the young man's phone and backpack still on the ground, so she went over, picked them up one by one, and then got into Xiang Yuntian's car.

As she got into the car to leave, Bai Mengfei became curious about the young man's identity and unzipped her backpack.

It turned out that there was only a laptop in the backpack.

Bai Mengfei took out her computer, opened the app, and discovered that the young man was actually a novelist.

The computer's chat window is flashing, as if someone has sent a message.

Bai Mengfei was bored, so she clicked to watch.

Although it was a bit like invading someone's privacy, she figured she would return the computer and phone later, so she didn't think much of it.

It turned out that the message was from a girl, who was asking him why he hadn't shown up.

After reviewing numerous chat logs, Bai Mengfei learned that a girl had asked him to meet her, which was why he was there.

Bai Mengfei couldn't help but want to reply to the girl on his behalf, but just then, Xiang Yuntian reached out and closed the laptop.

"What are you doing?" Bai Mengfei asked.

Xiang Yuntian withdrew his hand and focused on driving, saying, "You're invading someone's privacy. Have you forgotten? They can sue you."

"But I really didn't mean to, I just wanted to return the things to him." Bai Mengfei cleverly gave herself an excuse.

Xiang Yuntian could only smile slightly and nod, indicating that he accepted Bai Mengfei's reason.

Bai Mengfei then said to Xiang Yuntian, "If it weren't for him, I probably would have been kidnapped by that thug. But didn't you find any clues?"

Xiang Yuntian recalled, "After I followed Xiao Hao upstairs, he disappeared."

"Alright," Bai Mengfei said with a hint of regret.

When the two returned to the police station, they saw the young man being temporarily detained there.

As soon as Old Chen saw them return, he hurried over and said to Xiang Yuntian, "This man says he knows you."

Xiang Yuntian turned his head and looked around. After thinking carefully, he realized that he did not recognize the person.

Worried about being exposed, Bai Mengfei quickly explained, "Yes, we know each other."

Xiang Yuntian immediately understood, because the young man sitting there matched Bai Mengfei's previous description.

So he nodded and smiled, saying, "That's right, he's my friend."

After saying that, he and Bai Mengfei took their computer and phone and walked over.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Bai Mengfei return, and said happily, "It's so good that you're alright. You went back during such a dangerous time, were you trying to kill yourself?"

Hearing other boys showing such concern for Bai Mengfei, Xiang Yuntian felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He frowned, his expression becoming quite serious.

Bai Mengfei quickly smiled, shook her head, and said, "It's alright, look at me, I'm perfectly fine."

The young man then noticed Xiang Yuntian and asked, "And who is this?"

"Oh, this is Xiang Yuntian," Bai Mengfei quickly introduced.

"I've heard so much about you." The young man extended his hand, wanting to shake hands with Xiang Yuntian. "I write detective and suspense novels; my name is Jiang Fan."

Xiang Yuntian merely raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. Even when shaking hands with Jiang Fan, he seemed somewhat unenthusiastic.

To ease the awkwardness, Bai Mengfei asked, "Then your IQ must be very high, right?"

"Yes!"

Before Jiang Fan could finish speaking, Zhao Fei appeared out of nowhere, stepped forward, and said with a smile, "Of course, I've read his books too. I've heard so much about him, I didn't expect him to be so young..."

In the end, Zhao Fei didn't finish his sentence.

However, to Zhao Fei, both Jiang Fan and Xiang Yuntian were indeed very young.

Jiang Fan had no idea that Zhao Fei was the captain; he thought he was just an ordinary criminal police officer. So he walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Dude, I didn't expect you to be my fan!"

Despite the age difference, Zhao Fei was indeed his fan, so he nodded sincerely.

Afterwards, Zhao Fei invited Jiang Fan to his office, ostensibly to discuss the plot together. In reality, Zhao Fei wanted to use Jiang Fan's exceptional logical thinking to help solve the case.

Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian both understood, and they turned their heads to look at each other.
