Xiang Yuntian noticed that everyone's attention was still on Bai Mengfei's sudden appearance.

He quickly steered the conversation back to the case, saying, "Let's not dwell on what happened earlier. Now let's focus on this case. I think the biggest question right now is, who stole the body?"

Xiang Yuntian simplified the complex situation into this one question, which quickly drew everyone's attention, and the fright they had just experienced from Bai Mengfei was forgotten.

Led by Xu Sanmin, the police officers began to reflect on the entire incident, focusing on this issue.

Xu Sanmin pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Judging from Wang Haobin's character and behavior, he shouldn't be so foolish as to steal a corpse. But as for Wang Haobin's younger brother, Wang Haoran, it's hard to say."

Afterwards, the police launched a new round of interrogations of all the thugs they had brought back.

Unexpectedly, a startling discovery was made: the case was connected to a man named Meng Jianjun.

So, who exactly is Meng Jianjun?

The police then began investigating Meng Jianjun's background and discovered that Meng Jianjun was the protagonist of the Meng family incident years ago.

This was also a rumor that Bai Mengfei and others heard from the old woman. The poor boy who started a relationship with a woman and then abandoned her, who later became successful, was none other than Meng Jianjun.

Now, those thugs all identify this person as Meng Jianjun, so it can be concluded that he is definitely involved in this matter.

The question is, why did Meng Jianjun do this?

This truly baffled Bai Mengfei and the others.

"Meng Jianjun doesn't seem to have any reason to kill anyone, does he?" Bai Mengfei looked up at Xiang Yuntian standing in front of her and asked with a puzzled expression.

Xiang Yuntian crossed his arms, lowered his head in thought, and slowly said, "That's hard to say. Judging from the current situation, Meng Jianjun is indeed highly suspicious, after all, all the testimonies are extremely unfavorable to him. In any case, I think we should arrest him as soon as possible."

Bai Mengfei strongly agreed with Xiang Yuntian's decision.

Bai Mengfei nodded secretly, then said, "In that case, let's not delay and take action now?"

Just then, a voice came from behind Bai Mengfei: "What? You're coming with us too?"

Upon hearing this voice, Bai Mengfei quickly turned her head and saw Xu Sanmin walking towards her step by step.

Upon seeing Xu Sanmin, Bai Mengfei quickly explained, "Well, I think the risk factor of this case is relatively small, and besides, I'm a child with a lot of curiosity, you can understand, right?"

"A child?" Xu Sanmin walked closer, a sly smile appearing on his face: "You're not a child. At least in my eyes, you're very mature, maybe even more mature than me."

As he spoke, Xu Sanmin's gaze seemed to penetrate people's hearts, and Bai Mengfei felt uncomfortable under his gaze.

So Bai Mengfei quickly turned around and hid behind Xiang Yuntian, as if that would allow her to conceal herself.

Xiang Yuntian then said, "Don't scare the children."

Unexpectedly, Xu Sanmin immediately apologized humbly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"Never mind, have you made contact with Meng Jianjun yet?" Xiang Yuntian asked.

Xu Sanmin lowered his head, pondered for a while, and said, "We've made contact, but the address he gave us is a bit strange; he wants us to go to a wine cellar."

Upon hearing this news, Bai Mengfei, who was hiding behind Xiang Yuntian, couldn't help but frown secretly. She also felt that there was something strange about this matter.

Could it be that Meng Jianjun has already realized that the police are about to investigate him?

This seems unlikely. In short, this matter is full of doubts, and they are waiting to uncover the mystery.

At midnight, as agreed, the group disguised themselves as thugs and went to the wine cellar, pretending to go to retrieve the goods.

In fact, the police had already laid a trap around the wine cellar.

Xu Sanmin, Bai Mengfei, and Xiang Yuntian pushed open the door and entered the wine cellar.

Old Yu and the others were too timid; they only dared to stay outside and didn't dare to come in.

After the three entered the wine cellar, Bai Mengfei felt dizzy and nauseous as soon as she smelled the pungent smell of wine.

Xiang Yuntian had been keeping a close eye on Bai Mengfei's condition, and upon seeing this, he immediately asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

"It's alright, just not feeling too well." Bai Mengfei said, then suddenly realized that it was inappropriate to say that at this moment, so she added, "Never mind, let's not talk for now, let's find where the goods are."

Seeing that Bai Mengfei remained as decisive, independent, and strong as ever, Xiang Yuntian said no more.

The three searched the wine cellar for a while but found nothing, so they decided to split up and search separately.

Just then, Bai Mengfei's right hand accidentally bumped into a wooden barrel containing wine.

Suddenly, the wooden bucket flipped over, and then Bai Mengfei lost her footing.

After falling, Bai Mengfei realized that she had triggered a trap.

She hurriedly looked up, wanting to call out to Xiang Yuntian and the others to come and save her.

But just then, the two wooden planks above, which were clearly part of a mechanism, came together again.

Bai Mengfei was instantly enveloped in darkness.

It was dark and cold here, but fortunately the ground beneath her feet felt soft, which is why Bai Mengfei was not seriously injured after falling.

She desperately wanted to scream for help, something most people would have done. But she worried that the killer was nearby and that making a sound would attract their attention, so she had to hold back.

But she couldn't just sit and wait to die, so she mustered her courage, groped her way forward in the dark.

After walking through a corridor, she felt she saw light ahead.

That seemingly ordinary white light filled Bai Mengfei with both surprise and joy.

What frightened me was the fear that the murderer was there, but what pleased me was the thought that perhaps that was the exit and that I would soon be able to see Xiang Yuntian again.

After careful consideration, she decided to continue forward, mustering her courage to walk towards the direction of the white light.

After passing through the passageway, the scene before her greatly surprised her. It did not lead to the rooftop, but to a magnificent, brightly lit hall that resembled a palace.

This place is decorated so exquisitely and beautifully, it must have cost a fortune, right?

However, labor is relatively cheap in the Economic Development Zone.

Regardless, this magnificent golden scene is truly beautiful, giving one the feeling of being in paradise.

Bai Mengfei couldn't help but feel longing. If she could live in seclusion here with Xiang Yuntian for the rest of her life, isolated from the world, perhaps that would be a good choice?

Meanwhile, Xiang Yuntian was frantic with worry, almost going crazy, because he couldn't find Bai Mengfei.

He even suspected that Xu Sanmin had secretly sabotaged things, perhaps as a joke, so he kept asking Xu Sanmin to stop messing around and hand over Bai Mengfei.

Xu Sanmin was completely speechless and bewildered, utterly confused as to why Xiang Yuntian would say such inexplicable things as asking him for people.
