Just then, the headlights of a car next to them suddenly turned on. Two blinding beams of light shone directly on Bai Mengfei, illuminating half of her profile and making her face appear as white as if covered with a thin layer of frost.

She instinctively turned her head, her bright eyes meeting the glaring light without flinching.

Just then, the car suddenly emitted a deep roar, clearly indicating that the driver was preparing to start the car.

In the blink of an eye, a figure pounced from the side.

Bai Mengfei was only the size of a little girl, and had no time to dodge. She was tackled to the ground.

At that moment, the car started up and sped past where she had just been standing.

She looked up and realized that it was Jiang Shuai who had saved her.

At this moment, Jiang Shuai shielded her with his body, his face unusually serious as he shouted, "Are you crazy? You didn't even try to dodge!"

Bai Mengfei was determined to memorize the car's license plate, so she gently nudged Jiang Shuai with both hands. By the time she managed to stand up, the car had already disappeared into the underground parking lot.

"Oh dear, he got away."

Bai Mengfei sighed deeply, feeling regretful.

Jiang Shuai was unaware of the reason for the incident and simply thought that Bai Mengfei was an ignorant young girl.

He stepped forward and asked with concern, "Where's Yun Tian? Why were you running around alone?"

Bai Mengfei's face was cold. She turned her head, glanced at him indifferently, but did not say anything.

In her opinion, even if she explained it, Jiang Shuai might not understand.

Jiang Shuai, however, assumed that since he had just saved Bai Mengfei's life, she should be grateful to him, and continued to lecture her: "Hey, hey, are you even listening? That was so dangerous! If it weren't for me..."

However, Bai Mengfei really didn't want to waste any more words on him, so she just glared at him and turned to leave.

……

As soon as the two returned to the police station, Jiang Shuai went straight to Xiang Yuntian and complained, "Tell me, what kind of behavior is this? I kindly saved her, and she has this kind of attitude, she didn't even say thank you."

Xiang Yuntian listened to Jiang Shuai's complaints and slowly turned his head.

Bai Mengfei sat alone at a table, seemingly lost in deep thought, as if she were in a meditative state, oblivious to everything around her.

Seeing this, Xiang Yuntian knew that her behavior must be related to what had just happened in the parking lot.

He knew even better that Bai Mengfei would never go to the parking lot alone without a reason.

So he turned to Jiang Shuai and asked, "Did you write down the license plate number of that car?"

When Xiang Yuntian asked him this question, Jiang Shuai was speechless and didn't know how to answer.

From Jiang Shuai's expression, Xiang Yuntian understood that he definitely hadn't noticed the license plate at the time.

Then, Xiang Yuntian slowly walked to Bai Mengfei's side and gently knelt down.

Bai Mengfei stared straight at the ground in front of her, her eyes unblinking and devoid of any light, clearly still immersed in what had just happened.

Xiang Yuntian raised his right hand and gently waved it in front of her eyes, asking tenderly in his deep and magnetic voice, "Are you alright?"

Seeing that it was Xiang Yuntian asking the question, Bai Mengfei blurted out her thoughts without thinking: "Don't you really feel that reporter Fang gives off a very strange feeling?"

"Is this the same question again?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuai immediately connected the dots: "So you went to the parking lot just to verify this?"

Bai Mengfei was about to answer when she heard Zhao Fei's voice from the side: "What are you three doing?"

Upon hearing the sound, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian turned their heads to look at the same time.

Zhao Fei quickly walked to the two of them, his gaze falling on Xiang Yuntian.

Is she sick, or what?

"No, no. By the way, Captain Zhao, what was your impression of that reporter Fang?"

Although Xiang Yuntian himself did not notice anything unusual about the reporter, he was willing to respect Bai Mengfei's intuition.

Zhao Fei was slightly taken aback, not expecting him to ask that question.

Zhao Fei thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's alright, nothing special. But it's quite interesting that he switched from being a doctor to a journalist. I even asked him about it, and he said he likes the feeling of pursuing the truth."

As the two were chatting, the female forensic doctor from before came over again and continued to complain to Zhao Fei: "Captain Zhao, you're here. It was him who broke the rules. What do you suggest we do?"

Zhao Fei had cleverly avoided this matter before.

But now it seems that there's no way to avoid it after all.

Helpless, Zhao Fei could only continue to defend Xiang Yuntian: "What's done is done, there's no way to reverse it. Let's just let it go, I'll definitely arrange your work properly next time."

His words still carried a hint of bias towards Xiang Yuntian. After all, the female forensic doctor was the one who should be blamed. Seeing this, even if the man wasn't very emotionally intelligent, he understood the situation. He glared angrily, nodded fiercely, and stopped complaining to Zhao Fei, turning and walking away.

After the female forensic doctor left, Zhao Fei began to give Xiang Yuntian a lecture.

Based on his understanding of Xiang Yuntian, the other party would never have done such a thing before.

Especially since they brought a little girl along this time, the scene of dissecting a corpse was so bloody, it must have a very bad influence on the child.

Zhao Fei said a lot, but Xiang Yuntian just let it go in one ear and out the other, not taking it to heart.

A while later, the city bureau chief sent someone to find Zhao Fei, and he hurriedly left. Before leaving, he didn't forget to give Xiang Yuntian some more instructions.

That's roughly what it means.

If you do something foolish like this again, I won't help you.

"I know, I'll be more careful next time!"

After Zhao Fei left, Bai Mengfei, who had been silent all along, finally apologized to Xiang Yuntian.

She also knew that because of her, Xiang Yuntian had taken the blame.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

"They just don't understand you. It's nothing, don't take it to heart," Xiang Yuntian comforted her with a smile.

Bai Mengfei gazed intently at Xiang Yuntian's handsome face and said sincerely, "Yes, in this world, you are probably the only one who understands me."

Hearing this, Xiang Yuntian felt a surge of flattery.

Just as he was about to respond modestly, a police officer suddenly ran over: "Brother Xiang, the chief wants to see you in his office."

Helpless, Xiang Yuntian had no choice but to stand up, supporting himself on his knees with his hands.

As someone who had been through it all, he knew that the bureau chief wasn't as easy to talk to as Zhao Fei.

Therefore, I dare not bring Bai Mengfei along.

"Stop running around, I'll be right back, okay?"

"I understand," Bai Mengfei replied softly, then sat there blankly.

To outsiders, she seemed to be just an ordinary, quiet girl.

However, no one knew that at this moment, her thinking about the case was more profound than that of any of the police officers present, and her understanding of the details was more thorough.

Just as she was lost in thought, Jiang Shuai, who was playing a game on his phone, suddenly walked over. He pulled up a chair, sat down next to her, and said with a smile, "I said, you're so young, why do you always look so gloomy? What's on your mind? Why don't you tell your brother?"

Bai Mengfei glanced at him coldly, frowned, and remained silent.

Jiang Shuai chuckled and put down his phone, asking, "You must have something on your mind. I've known Yun Tian for so long, I've learned a bit about psychology. Don't hide it from me, tell me about it, I can help you with some advice."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei was startled.

I hope my identity won't be exposed.

Thinking of this, she slowly turned her head and stared at him with icy eyes.

That icy gaze sent chills down your spine.

Jiang Shuai shuddered at the look in his eyes, and suddenly the game didn't seem so appealing anymore.
