Xu Sanmin searched for a while before finally taking a book off the shelf.

His fingertips slid rapidly between the pages, while his thumb quickly turned the pages.

Judging from his practiced manner, his reading speed was practically ten lines at a glance.

From Bai Mengfei's perspective, the other party should have a fairly clear understanding of the approximate location of some core content in each book.

Seeing this, Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but have doubts. He felt that Xu Sanmin was probably not a true expert in this area and was somewhat unreliable. What doctor would forget something and have to look it up in a book?

He suddenly felt uneasy about entrusting Bai Mengfei to him, so he stepped forward and asked, "Are you reliable or not?"

He didn't want Bai Mengfei to become someone else's guinea pig.

Xu Sanmin slammed the book shut, turned around, and his gaze sharp as a torch.

His eyes held a sinister glint, as if questioning, "If I can't, then can you?"

Seeing Xu Sanmin's dissatisfied expression, Xiang Yuntian didn't want to say anything more, since he needed Xu's help now.

He turned his face away helplessly, no longer looking at Xu Sanmin.

Xu Sanmin put the book back on the shelf, then took down another one and looked it over for a while before turning around and looking at Bai Mengfei, saying, "Alright, now come with me."

Xiang Yuntian was worried that Xu Sanmin would do something inappropriate to Bai Mengfei, so he followed closely behind Xu Sanmin and they went into the inner room together.

The three entered the room, and Xu Sanmin told Bai Mengfei to lie down on the bed first. With Xiang Yuntian by her side, Bai Mengfei felt somewhat at ease.

However, Xu Sanmin's identity was somewhat special, which made Bai Mengfei feel uneasy.

She was trembling with fear, glancing at Xiang Yuntian sitting next to her every now and then, her inner panic was obvious.

Then, Xu Sanmin simply asked a few questions: "Do you still feel uncomfortable lying like this?"

Bai Mengfei slowly shook her head and answered firmly, "No."

Xu Sanmin then asked a few more questions, but did not take any treatment measures afterward. He simply asked Bai Mengfei to get up first.

Xiang Yuntian immediately leaned closer anxiously and asked, "Is that all? Is the illness cured?"

Xu Sanmin said with a troubled expression, "Of course not, this is too strange. What if I said I couldn't cure it?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei felt a wave of disappointment.

After all, she had long heard that Xu Sanmin was quite capable in this area, but now, faced with her illness, Xu Sanmin seemed helpless.

Bai Mengfei never liked to cause trouble for others. She sighed softly and said, "Since that's the case, then let's just forget about it."

Xiang Yuntian thought so too. Since Xu Sanmin himself admitted that he had no way to continue, it would be unreasonable to force him to continue.

Moreover, in that case, Bai Mengfei might really become a test subject.

Xiang Yuntian naturally didn't want to see this situation, so he walked to Bai Mengfei's side and said gently to her, "Shall we go?"

Bai Mengfei gave a soft "hmm" and walked towards the door.

After politely saying goodbye to Xu Sanmin, Xiang Yuntian quickly followed Bai Mengfei.

As soon as the two left, Xu Sanmin rushed to the bookshelf and began searching for books again.

He pulled a book from the shelf and, relying on his intuition, precisely turned to a page.

This page records similar symptoms to Bai Mengfei's, along with related cases. The cause is mentioned as stemming from an ancient Western legend where a soul entered another person's body, triggering rejection or adverse reactions.

At this moment, Xu Sanmin couldn't help but doubt Bai Mengfei's true identity, secretly wondering whether the soul inside Bai Mengfei's body was truly her own.

The best way to find out the answer is to investigate it.

However, Xiang Yuntian stayed by Bai Mengfei's side the whole time, so Xu Sanmin had no chance to check.

On the other side, after Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian left, Bai Mengfei felt heavy-hearted, thinking that her illness seemed incurable and that she might leave Xiang Yuntian at any time. She did not speak for the rest of the way.

Fortunately, Xiang Yuntian had also studied psychology, although mainly in the field of crime, which is different from Xu Sanmin's approach of hypnosis and therapy. He was still able to roughly guess Bai Mengfei's thoughts even without her saying anything.

"I will definitely find a way later, we will not be separated." Xiang Yuntian promised firmly to encourage Bai Mengfei.

Bai Mengfei gave a soft "hmm" and continued to gaze at the receding scenery outside the window.

Halfway there, it started raining again, and the whole world became hazy.

Bai Mengfei usually enjoys this kind of environment and likes to watch the rain outside through the window.

But at this moment, the inexplicably increased humidity in the air made her feel as if her head was under even greater pressure.

After returning home, she went straight into the bedroom, closed the door, and lay down on the bed to rest.

She couldn't sleep at all, yet felt utterly listless. She knew in her heart that she couldn't adapt to this rapidly changing environment.

After lying quietly for a while, she got up.

Since she couldn't sleep anyway, lying down was pointless for her.

She opened the door and went into the living room, wanting only to sit quietly by herself.

Because of the pain she harbored, she couldn't confide in anyone, including Xiang Yuntian.

She worried that if she spoke out, Xiang Yuntian would be even more worried than she was, which was the last thing she wanted to see.

She sat quietly for a long time before taking out her phone and looking through it absentmindedly.

At that moment, she had no interest in the contents of her phone; she was simply feeling that her soul, which did not belong to this body, was becoming increasingly ethereal.

She had a feeling that she was really leaving this time, and the sense of uncertainty in her heart was indescribable.

She sat quietly for a while, then vaguely sensed someone behind her. She turned around and saw Xiang Yuntian standing behind her, saying nothing.

She forced a calm smile and asked, "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Xiang Yuntian then slowly walked over, sat down beside her, and asked in return, "You weren't asleep either, were you?"

“I’m different,” she said.

Xiang Yuntian smiled slightly and asked, "How come you're different?"

She thought about it carefully and replied, "It's because I have something on my mind."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Yuntian stared intently into her eyes and said sincerely, "Your affairs are my affairs, and it has always been so."

Xiang Yuntian's words came from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for Bai Mengfei, he would never have wanted to investigate that serial murder case.

But for Bai Mengfei's sake, even if Bai Mengfei asks him to give up, he will persist in investigating.

Not for any other reason than personal glory, but simply to seek justice for Bai Mengfei.

Eyes don't lie, and Bai Mengfei believed him.

She pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, and then nodded gently.

Seeing Bai Mengfei's approval, Xiang Yuntian finally smiled, because Bai Mengfei understood his good intentions.
