Only when she was in such a place did Bai Mengfei feel as if her life had been infused with a vibrant energy.

She quickly lifted the white sheets one by one, but did not find the body she had seen the day before yesterday. So she hurried to the refrigerator where the body was stored and opened the doors one by one to check.

Having come this far, Xiang Yuntian naturally wouldn't just stand there doing nothing, so he quickly stepped forward to help search.

The two searched for a long time but still couldn't find any trace of the female corpse.

"What's going on? It should be stored here, right?" Bai Mengfei asked, full of doubt.

Xiang Yuntian stood there, his brows furrowed, lost in silent thought.

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, Xiang Yuntian caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a figure outside the glass door.

He quickly turned his head to look outside the door and found that there was indeed a man in a hoodie sitting there quietly.

Out of concern for Bai Mengfei, Xiang Yuntian immediately turned around and shielded her behind him.

Bai Mengfei also stared sharply at the door, secretly speculating in her heart.

Who is this person?

Why are you standing there?

Could he be the murderer?

Moreover, could it be that this person stole the missing body?

"Who are you?" Bai Mengfei shouted.

Xiang Yuntian immediately rushed to the door, pushed it open, and tried to grab the man. But just then, the man turned and ran.

Bai Mengfei hurriedly chased after them.

Xiang Yuntian reached out to grab, trying to stop the man.

However, the man's movements were very strange. He tilted his shoulder slightly, and Xiang Yuntian missed his target.

After missing his target, the man seized the opportunity to escape.

Bai Mengfei continued her pursuit relentlessly, as she believed this person was very likely the suspect.

"Stop! Police! Don't run!" Bai Mengfei shouted.

Xiang Yuntian was worried that Bai Mengfei might encounter some misfortune, so he hurriedly followed behind her.

The two chased him all the way to the lobby, but the man had vanished without a trace.

"Who is it?" Bai Mengfei couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Xiang Yuntian also looked around the hall, glancing left and right, and said, "I don't know either, but it's very likely the murderer."

As they were talking, Xiang Yuntian saw a figure flash by in the passageway ahead.

He immediately hurried after him, determined to catch up with that person.

Just after Xiang Yuntian left, the man quietly appeared behind Bai Mengfei, and a hand reached out from behind her to cover her mouth.

Bai Mengfei struggled fiercely, but was forcibly dragged away by the man.

She made muffled noises and waved her hands frantically, but she could never catch the man.

"Who are you? Let me go!" Bai Mengfei shouted indistinctly.

However, she was eventually dragged away by that man.

The man dragged her into the storeroom and whispered in her ear in a hoarse voice, "Mind your own business."

The sound was terrifying.

Bai Mengfei was so frightened that she trembled all over, her voice shaking, and she could only swallow hard. She could feel a bead of sweat slowly sliding down her forehead.

She was flustered and her heart was in her throat.

Fortunately, just then, footsteps sounded outside. The sound was hurried and heavy, and it seemed to be a man.

Upon hearing footsteps, the man who had covered Bai Mengfei's mouth immediately released his grip, shoved Bai Mengfei away, and then opened the door and fled.

It all happened so fast.

Xiang Yuntian, who was rushing over, saw the man run out and instantly realized that Bai Mengfei might be inside. He was even more worried about Bai Mengfei's safety and rushed into the storeroom without hesitation.

Seeing Bai Mengfei fall to the ground, Xiang Yuntian rushed over and helped her up.

"Are you alright?" Xiang Yuntian asked anxiously, his nervousness evident in his voice. "Are you okay? Did he do anything to you?"

Bai Mengfei was surprisingly calm. She simply shook her head and said, "He didn't do anything to me, but he threatened me and told me not to meddle in other people's business."

Xiang Yuntian lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a moment, he made a decision: "Let's go back to the police station first."

Bai Mengfei was indeed quite frightened. She nodded slightly and replied, "Okay."

When the two returned to the police station, it was already past 2 a.m.

Seeing that Bai Mengfei looked exhausted, Xiang Yuntian gave her the bed to rest.

"Then what will you do?" Bai Mengfei asked with concern.

Xiang Yuntian smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine, you should get some rest."

Feeling Xiang Yuntian's meticulous care, Bai Mengfei's originally panicked heart gradually became stronger, and her body, which had been cold from fright, warmed up a bit.

"Okay," Bai Mengfei agreed.

Around 4 a.m., Bai Mengfei heard a knock on the door.

She was already restless and a light sleeper, so she immediately got up when she heard the noise.

Just then, Xiang Yuntian was about to open the door when he saw Bai Mengfei get up. He stopped, smiled slightly at her, and said, "You can continue to rest."

"Who's here?" Bai Mengfei asked curiously.

Xiang Yuntian quickly said, "It's alright, I'll go take a look."

Then, Xiang Yuntian quickly walked to the door and opened it.

The person standing outside the door was someone he knew all too well; he was a senior colleague from the Municipal Bureau, which was quite unexpected.

"Old Chen, what brings you here?" Xiang Yuntian asked.

Old Chen immediately said to Xiang Yuntian, "Team Leader Zhao sent me to help."

"Oh." Xiang Yuntian nodded gently, but his heart was full of doubts.

Why did Zhao Fei send Elder Chen over?

And it happened in the middle of the night, which really aroused suspicion.

However, Xiang Yuntian still took a step back to let Old Chen in.

After Old Chen came in, he said to Xiang Yuntian, "By the way, Xu Sanmin should be coming over in a while."

Upon hearing the name Xu Sanmin, Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei's expressions instantly turned gloomy.

Because neither of them liked Xu Sanmin very much; his behavior was too strange, and who knew what secrets he was hiding when he came this time.

Not to mention the potential changes his appearance might bring.

Seeing the displeasure on their faces, Old Chen quickly changed the subject, asking Xiang Yuntian, "Is this all the police station has arranged for you to stay here?"

“Yes, let’s leave it at that!” Xiang Yuntian was somewhat aloof by nature, and at this moment, he turned around and walked toward the chair against the wall.

There was only one chair and one bed in the room.

Seeing that Xiang Yuntian had taken the chair, Old Chen turned around and walked to the bedside, sitting directly next to Bai Mengfei.

Xiang Yuntian immediately stared at him intently, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

This kind of look is rarely seen in Xiang Yuntian.

Old Chen was quite frightened and secretly swallowed.

He pondered for a while before realizing why Xiang Yuntian was staring at him like that, so he slowly got up and walked away.

He muttered to himself.

Why is this kid so protective of his own? I've never seen him care about anyone like this before, except for the forensic doctor Bai.
