"It's okay, I won't bother you, I won't bother you."

"Tomorrow is the weekend, both the police station and the police academy are closed, so I can have a good rest."

Xu Sanmin, with a natural demeanor and a broad smile, said, "By the way, what would you like to drink? I have red wine, coffee, and juice."

"No need, I have to drive later." Xiang Yuntian didn't seem to appreciate Xu Sanmin's enthusiasm.

Xu Sanmin seemed quite willing to help Xiang Yuntian make the decision, saying, "Then let's have a cup of coffee."

He always does things at a leisurely pace, yet with clear and logical thinking. Moreover, he has exceptional drive and is extremely efficient.

Before long, he prepared two cups of coffee and brought them to Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian.

Xu Sanmin looked to be around the same age as Bai Mengfei before, probably a man in his mid-twenties. Compared to Xiang Yuntian, he was more mature and composed, and appeared refined and polite.

Bai Mengfei suddenly developed a slight liking for Xu Sanmin.

She took the hot coffee he offered and said gently, "Thank you."

Xiang Yuntian watched from the side, his brows furrowed, a surge of anger rising within him for no apparent reason.

He immediately strode forward, took the coffee from Xu Sanmin's hand, and drank it all in one gulp.

He was testing the coffee to see if it was poisoned.

If it were poisonous, he would rather die first.

Anyway, he never liked Xu Sanmin from the beginning, always feeling that the man was so perfect that it was a little scary.

Bai Mengfei felt that his behavior was extremely rude and disrespectful.

However, she just looked at Xiang Yuntian with slight disappointment and said nothing.

"Alright." Xiang Yuntian handed the cup back to Xu Sanmin, flicked his bangs, and said, "Can we begin now?"

Xu Sanmin paused for a moment, took the coffee cup, and then smiled and said, "Let's begin."

During the hypnosis and psychological counseling process, Xiang Yuntian remained resistant, resulting in poor treatment outcomes and exacerbating his inner turmoil.

As she left, Bai Mengfei had witnessed everything and couldn't help but scold him: "What were you doing just now?"

"I...I don't know." Xiang Yuntian couldn't voice his intuition, so he turned his head and looked out the car window. At this moment, his eyes were filled with loneliness and bitterness.

Bai Mengfei was also somewhat annoyed. She felt that Xiang Yuntian had developed a psychological trauma from shooting someone, which was why he treated Xu Sanmin that way.

She thought Xu Sanmin was a nice person, so she spoke up for him: "The doctor genuinely wanted to help you. What kind of attitude was that just now?"

Xiang Yuntian was convinced that Xu Sanmin was not a good person, and he knew that Bai Mengfei wouldn't listen to him, since she already considered Xu Sanmin a friend. So he chose to remain silent.

His attitude made Bai Mengfei even angrier.

"Say something! If you don't, I'm getting out of the car." With that, Bai Mengfei really turned around and opened the car door.

Xiang Yuntian quickly said, "I was already like that, what else could happen?"

"Go apologize."

"You want me to apologize to him?" Xiang Yuntian suddenly became agitated, his brows furrowed, and he raised his voice, saying, "That's absolutely impossible."

For the first time, Bai Mengfei found Xiang Yuntian utterly unreasonable and angrily said, "Fine, I'll never bother with you again."

Xiang Yuntian placed his hands on the steering wheel, lowered his head, and remained silent. He felt very wronged; Xu Sanmin was clearly suspicious.

He had fully supported Bai Mengfei when she suspected Liu Yang. But now that he suspects Xu Sanmin, why doesn't Bai Mengfei trust her intuition at all?

After thinking for a long time, and based on reason and his own knowledge, he asked, "Do you like him?"

Bai Mengfei felt insulted by these words. She thought Xiang Yuntian was being too frivolous towards her and immediately questioned loudly, "What are you saying?"

Fearing an argument, Xiang Yuntian suppressed his rational analysis, shook his head, and gritted his teeth, saying, "It's nothing."

Bai Mengfei was quite angry. She thought to herself that she did have a bit of a crush on Xu Sanmin, so she said in a huff, "Yes, I like him. At least he's more mature than you, unlike you who's so childish. Look at your attitude just now, and look at how you are now. You're really too immature."

Xiang Yuntian didn't want to ruin their long-standing relationship because of a man, so he silently turned around, fastened Bai Mengfei's seatbelt, and planned to talk about it when they got back.

Bai Mengfei unbuckled her seatbelt and secretly turned her head.

At this moment, she felt that even if she went back with Xiang Yuntian, they would inevitably argue.

Actually, she didn't know that Xiang Yuntian didn't want to argue with her at all.

Seeing Bai Mengfei unbuckle her seatbelt, Xiang Yuntian looked at her with a puzzled expression, his eyes full of helplessness.

After watching for a while, Xiang Yuntian forced a smile and asked, "Shall we talk about it when we get back?"

"I don't think we have anything to say." Bai Mengfei realized that arguing here was inappropriate, so she reluctantly gave in, fastened her seatbelt again, and said, "Let's drive."

At this moment, Xu Sanmin was standing on the second floor of the villa, quietly watching everything. He leaned against the window, his left index finger lightly touching his lips, looking at the two people in the car, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

He turned his head and looked at the half-photograph in the frame on the table, his brows furrowing slightly.

The photo shows a woman on one half, but the other half has been torn off.

The woman in the photo has long, flowing hair, a pure and innocent look, and a sweet smile.

He stared at the photo for a while, then walked straight over and placed it on the table. He then opened a drawer.

Inside the drawer were a pair of white gloves and a pair of scissors.

He slowly took out white gloves and put them on. As he put on the gloves, his eyes were fixed on the wall, the usual carefree smile gone, replaced by endless hatred.

Meanwhile, halfway there, Bai Mengfei suddenly realized that continuing the standoff with Xiang Yuntian would be pointless, so she shouted, "Stop the car."

Xiang Yuntian obediently stopped the car, turned to look at her, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Mengfei snorted coldly, unbuckled her seatbelt, and prepared to get out of the car. She didn't want to waste any more time with Xiang Yuntian and decided to investigate the case herself to find the real culprit who had killed her.

Xiang Yuntian was worried that Bai Mengfei might be in danger walking alone at night, given the recent poor security in the area. He hurriedly got out of the car and chased after her, but dared not get too close, so he could only follow at a certain distance from behind.

Bai Mengfei felt angry when she thought about Xiang Yuntian's attitude towards Xu Sanmin. She stopped and turned around to ask, "Why are you still following me?"

"I'm afraid something might happen to you!" Xiang Yuntian said helplessly.

Bai Mengfei scratched her hair in frustration, feeling somewhat on the verge of a breakdown.

Actually, she was also worried about Xiang Yuntian's condition. Xiang Yuntian clearly had psychological aftereffects, but he was unwilling to admit it and did not cooperate with treatment.

She cares too much about the other person, but that's precisely why she gets angry more easily.
