Chapter 294 Old Chen Has a Problem
Bai Mengfei didn't want Xiang Yuntian to get involved in this complicated situation, so she said softly, "I'm capable of handling things on my own now, you should go back first!"
This rare gentle tone warmed Xiang Yuntian's heart, but at the same time it made him even more worried.
Because he knew Bai Mengfei's personality too well, her current gentleness was quite unusual.
"Are you really alright?" Xiang Yuntian asked with a look of suspicion.
Left with no other option, Bai Mengfei resorted to her trump card: if soft tactics failed, she would resort to hard ones. Her face darkened, and a serious expression naturally appeared between her brows. "Are you going back or not?"
Xiang Yuntian was afraid of displeasing Bai Mengfei, so he could only nod, turn around and leave.
But he didn't actually leave; instead, he went outside, opened the car door, and got in.
This time, he didn't close the car door gently as usual; instead, he slammed it shut with a loud "bang."
Although he has never cared much about material things and values spiritual matters more, such behavior is understandable. However, he is usually gentle and refined, but tonight he couldn't help but sulk and lose control of his emotions, something he himself didn't understand.
He placed his hands lightly on the steering wheel and lowered his head with a somber expression.
After sitting quietly for a while, he realized that Bai Mengfei hadn't eaten much that evening and must be hungry now.
In order to maintain their relationship, he immediately started the car and drove away, intending to buy some food for Bai Mengfei.
At the same time, Old Chen, who was standing on the second-floor corridor, turned around and walked towards the lobby after seeing him leave.
Bai Mengfei was alone in the police station, sensing that something was about to happen. She was essentially gambling with her life, hoping to solve the case as quickly as possible. It was incredibly risky! But taking risks was always her style.
Three minutes later, Mr. Chen arrived at her large office and walked towards her.
There are definitely other people at the police station at night, but it's quite unusual for someone to come so late in their department.
Upon hearing footsteps, Bai Mengfei immediately looked up. When she saw that it was Elder Chen, she was somewhat surprised, but the astonishment in her eyes was fleeting.
"Old Chen, it's so late, what brings you here?" Bai Mengfei asked in a deep voice.
Old Chen strode over, saying as he walked, "Team Leader Zhao is looking for you; it seems he needs you to do something." In fact, Zhao Fei had already left long ago; Old Chen's visit was merely a pretense of conveying a royal decree.
Bai Mengfei also sensed that Old Chen might be lying, but after hearing what he said, she felt there was a 50% chance, so she decided to go and see, just in case Zhao Fei really had something important to tell her.
Bai Mengfei rushed to Zhao Fei's office, only to find, as expected, that Zhao Fei was not there at all.
Bai Mengfei, feeling puzzled, left Zhao Fei's office. Just as she stepped into the corridor, she bumped into Old Chen, who was about to enter. Both were startled by the sudden collision.
"Old Chen, Captain Zhao isn't in his office. Did he say what it was about?" Bai Mengfei quickly calmed down.
"He just mentioned that there was a burglary on Xiyuan Road and that a forensic doctor needs to go to the scene to conduct an examination."
Hearing what Old Chen said, Bai Mengfei frowned and said with a puzzled look, "Really? Why not just ask the criminal investigation team for this? Why do we need a forensic doctor?"
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's question, Old Chen's expression immediately turned somewhat grim. He said, "It seems there are some special circumstances, but I'm not entirely clear on the specifics. Let me put it this way, the case might be a bit strange."
"Alright, I'll go take a look now." After saying that, Bai Mengfei hesitated for a moment before leaving.
After she left, Old Chen called out from behind, "Team Leader Zhao has probably already gone ahead. Just give him a call when the time comes!"
Hearing this, Bai Mengfei believed Old Chen's words even more. But in reality, Old Chen knew that Zhao Fei's phone had just run out of battery and that he had said he needed to go back and charge it quickly.
After arriving at the lobby on the first floor, Bai Mengfei quickly walked towards the door, taking out her phone as she went, preparing to call Zhao Fei.
However, she couldn't get through on the phone. She thought to herself: It's not far from here to Xiyuan Road, so I might as well walk over and take a look!
Unbeknownst to her, Old Chen had been secretly watching her and even following her closely.
Bai Mengfei remained vigilant as she walked, choosing only main roads. But it was already quite late, and there were hardly any people on the streets.
Old Chen followed her in his car.
A thought popped into his head while he was in the car: to run over Bai Mengfei, because Bai Mengfei knew far too much.
Moreover, Old Chen secretly received money from someone and promised to deal with Bai Mengfei.
After walking for a while, Bai Mengfei realized that a car had been following her. Although she didn't turn around, her sixth sense told her that it was true.
So she would occasionally stealthily turn her head to keep an eye on the slowly moving car behind her.
She even walked to the flowerbed by the roadside, thinking of letting the car pass first, while also leaving herself an escape route so that if the car hit her, she could cross the flowerbed to escape.
But after waiting for a while, the car didn't come.
Feeling puzzled, she turned to look. At that moment, two blinding beams of light shone upon her, making her dizzy. She immediately raised her right hand to shield her forehead from the glare.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, the car suddenly started and accelerated towards her.
What happened? Bai Mengfei was terrified, cold sweat pouring down her back.
In an instant, she lifted her eyelids, her eyes widening, her pupils filled only with the blinding light. Judging from the light, the car was getting closer and closer.
Fortunately, she had been on guard when she stopped by the roadside. Seeing the car speeding towards her, she immediately took a deep breath and ran towards the flowerbed by the roadside.
With a loud bang, the car crashed into the low wall protecting the flower path, and Bai Mengfei jumped aside and fell on the pedestrian street.
She turned around in surprise and saw that the high beams were still on, the car door was open, and a foot was sticking out of the car.
