A forensic doctor is reborn, sir, please don't bully me!

"That's just how he is. He's always been cheerful, so don't take it to heart."

Bai Mengfei quickly stepped in to explain.

"I won't mind." Pan Li smiled faintly, turned around and left: "Just tell me what you need me for. If there's nothing else, I'm leaving now and going to have some fun by myself."

Looking at her back, which is about the same age as me now, why does it exude such a strong sense of loneliness?

Was she always alone, just like she used to be?

Bai Mengfei was full of curiosity and hurriedly caught up with him.

"Hey, is something on your mind?" Bai Mengfei asked softly.

Pan Li turned her head, glanced at Bai Mengfei, smiled, and said, "What do you know, you little girl?"

Does she really think of herself as an immature little girl?

After saying that, Pan Li forcefully shook off Bai Mengfei's hand and said, "I have things to do, don't bother me."

Bai Mengfei was naturally very curious, so she wasn't about to give up and continued to follow behind her.

Pan Li arrived at the foot of a large tree. This tree was extremely thick and towered into the clouds, giving people a sense of awe as it seemed to pierce the sky.

Bai Mengfei stood under the tree, looking up, and was utterly astonished.

There was a door under this big tree.

Unable to contain her curiosity, Bai Mengfei went inside. Upon entering, she was astonished to discover a completely different world inside; the tree had been hollowed out, resembling a strange cave—it was truly unbelievable.

Bai Mengfei looked up and saw Pan Li alone above, continuing to dig upwards. She held only a small iron shovel, no bigger than the palm of her hand.

Upon seeing this, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but frown.

Just then, Xiang Yuntian walked in from outside. Upon seeing this scene, he was also stunned and stood frozen on the spot.

The scene before me was as unreal as a dream, giving off a sense of unreality.

Just as Xiang Yuntian was in shock, Bai Mengfei turned to look at him.

She never expected that this girl would have such perseverance and do such an amazing thing.

What exactly is the reason that makes her so persistent in doing this?

Xiang Yuntian sensed a deep sadness from Pan Li's innocent little face.

He approached slowly and asked softly, "Why are you so sad?"

Pan Li initially ignored him, but after a while she turned her head and glanced at Xiang Yuntian.

"It's none of your business." Her tone was unusually firm, which surprised Xiang Yuntian.

While Xiang Yuntian was still in shock, Bai Mengfei understood the girl's thoughts. She felt that Pan Li must have encountered some kind of misfortune.

So Bai Mengfei stepped forward and asked gently, "Miss, did something bad happen to you?"

"Me?" Pan Li stopped what she was doing and only replied, "I'm fine."

Is it really okay?

Judging from her expression, Bai Mengfei didn't think so.

Clearly, Pan Li simply didn't want to talk about it.

Bai Mengfei didn't want to force her, and just watched her quietly.

As I was watching, I saw Pan Li suddenly burst into tears, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam.

His heartbroken appearance was truly distressing. Bai Mengfei quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Why are you suddenly crying?"

Pan Li cried and said, "He doesn't want me anymore, I have nothing left. I... I'm really all alone now."

Xiang Yuntian instantly understood that Pan Li must have encountered a heartless scumbag.

Women of this age are prone to having romantic feelings.

Although this was unrelated to the case they were investigating, seeing a girl crying so sadly over a relationship issue, Xiang Yuntian quickly stepped forward and, together with Bai Mengfei, comforted her: "Don't be too sad."

“You don’t understand at all,” Pan Li said.

Xiang Yuntian majored in psychology, how could he not understand?

He walked up the intricately carved staircase that ran along the wall, saying to Pan Li as he went, "Some people often find it difficult to open their hearts to others at first, and may even have a resistant attitude. But slowly, they will accept someone."

"However, most of them still end up going through periods of separation and reunion. In fact, many people have experienced similar things."

"But he's different."

"What's different?" Xiang Yuntian asked in a slightly harsher tone, "Aren't they still just two eyes and one mouth?"

These words left Pan Li speechless for a moment.

Xiang Yuntian then added, "Alright, stop worrying yourself. Take it easy, there are plenty of people in this world who are more unfortunate than you."

Are you talking about yourself?

No sooner had she finished speaking than Pan Li retorted, "Your lives are so much better than mine!"

"Really? Then why don't you try experiencing my life? Actually, I'm not happy at all."

As Xiang Yuntian spoke, he lowered his head slightly: "Can you understand the feeling of your loved one being murdered, or even dismembered? As a man, I only regret that I couldn't protect her back then."

These words were filled with deep remorse.

Even Bai Mengfei, who was listening quietly to the side, couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. She simply lowered her head and remained silent.

Xiang Yuntian gave a wry smile and said, "Am I even more unfortunate than you?"

After pondering for a moment, Pan Li's attitude wavered. She looked at Xiang Yuntian with suspicion and asked softly, "So you mean you really will take me with you to investigate the case?"

“Yes,” Xiang Yuntian answered affirmatively.

Bai Mengfei nodded in agreement.

Pan Li, a young girl with no one to rely on, came down from up there and left with Xiang Yuntian. However, she became closer to Bai Mengfei, perhaps because she had developed a resistance to men.

Moreover, Bai Mengfei is mature, steady, and very good at taking care of people.

After the three of them got back into the car, Xiang Yuntian sat in the driver's seat and asked, "Where are we going?"

Seeing that Pan Li's clothes were dirty and she was quite thin, as if she hadn't eaten properly for many days, Bai Mengfei said, "Driver, let's go shopping first."

Hearing Bai Mengfei's teasing, Xiang Yuntian just smiled and readily agreed, "Okay."

The three then returned to the city.

Two girls were shopping, and Xiang Yuntian, a handsome, rich, and successful man who could attract the attention of countless girls, followed behind them, carrying their shopping bags and paying for them.

Those who didn't know the situation might have thought Xiang Yuntian was their brother.

With a handsome and dashing guy like Xiang Yuntian by her side, Pan Li's originally negative and depressed mood improved a lot.

However, the three of them eventually had to return to the police station to report.

Back at the police station, as soon as Xiang Yuntian saw Zhao Fei, he told him what had happened: "We went to investigate, but we only brought back this girl. She... is that woman's granddaughter."

To Zhao Fei, who is his age, Pan Li is a very individualistic young woman.

Moreover, her words and actions were much more complex than Bai Mengfei's. Although she seemed more at ease on the surface than Bai Mengfei was when she first arrived, one could sense that she was actually extremely restrained and had no sense of freedom at all.
