Chapter 273 Mortal
After receiving the contract, both Fan Tian and Bai Mengfei smiled, but each had their own thoughts.
Bai Mengfei was secretly pleased that Fan Tian was so foolish, while Fan Tian was overjoyed, thinking that the police had really given him such a reliable guarantee.
Seeing that the contract had been signed, Fan Tian was in a good mood and recounted the whole story to Bai Mengfei in detail: "To be honest, that Zheng Yueru is too wicked. In order to seize the family fortune for herself, she even planned to send someone to kill her cousin Li Tie in prison. Can you believe it?"
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll turn on a recording device." Bai Mengfei said, turning on the recorder and starting to record.
Fan Tian didn't pay much attention, but he gripped the contract tightly in his hand, his expression extremely solemn.
He pondered for a moment, then said to Bai Mengfei, "Oh, right, there's one more thing."
"What is it? Tell me." At this moment, Bai Mengfei was even more professional than Zhao Fei.
Fan Tian thought about it seriously and said, "It's that Zheng Yueru. She asked me to kill that lawyer. He has elderly parents and young children to support. I advised her not to do it, but she wouldn't listen to me."
Bai Mengfei silently twirled the pen in her hand, preoccupied with her own affairs, and merely listened to what Fan Tian said.
After listening for a while, Bai Mengfei asked, "So what do you plan to do now?"
Fan Tian replied matter-of-factly, "Of course I'm running away! Didn't I tell you before? You promised to help me."
“Yes, I will do my best to help you. But are you sure you have told me all the facts?” Bai Mengfei asked him suspiciously.
Fan Tian immediately dropped his relaxed expression, his face turned serious, and he looked at Bai Mengfei with a questioning gaze.
He began to suspect Bai Mengfei, and Bai Mengfei quietly turned her face away, afraid that he would see through her thoughts.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Fan Tian shook his head slightly, took a deep breath, and said, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that I suddenly felt like, are you lying to me?"
"No way! That's fine, I have other things to take care of." Bai Mengfei said, then stood up and prepared to leave.
Fan Tian hurriedly stood up and asked, "Aren't you going to take me with you? You promised me!"
"I will bring it. I'll come pick you up later," Bai Mengfei said with a smile.
Fan Tian sighed helplessly, stepped forward and said, "Anyway, I don't care. The contract is already signed. You have to come and take me away, understand?"
Bai Mengfei did not respond, but simply left silently.
After leaving the room, Bai Mengfei closed the door behind her and went outside.
As soon as she came out, she saw Zhao Fei and Xiang Yuntian waiting for her outside.
"What are you two doing standing here? You look like two door gods," Bai Mengfei said with a smile.
Seeing that Bai Mengfei was in a good mood, Xiang Yuntian smiled sheepishly and stepped forward to ask, "I've been waiting for you here. Are you alright?"
"What could possibly happen to me?" Bai Mengfei looked up at Xiang Yuntian with a smile. "Don't overthink it, I'm fine. Fan Tian has already confessed, and as long as we find more physical evidence, we can arrest Zheng Yueru."
Just then, Zhao Fei suddenly blurted out something unpleasant: "It won't be that easy to catch Zheng Yueru. Fan Tian is just an insignificant nobody, but Zheng Yueru is a big shot with a lot of influence."
Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian both shared the same sentiment, and their faces couldn't help but show a solemn expression.
However, after some thought, they made a bold decision: to bring Zheng Yueru over first!
So, Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei went to Zheng Yueru's office.
As soon as Zheng Yueru saw Bai Mengfei, she immediately stood up, still wearing that eerie smile on her face.
"You've arrived?" Zheng Yueru asked with a smile.
Bai Mengfei nodded secretly and said, "Yes, I'm here. Guess what I want to see you about?"
"Something's up. You're here to arrest me, aren't you?" It seems Zheng Yueru is well-informed.
Bai Mengfei nodded slightly and said, "That's right, I came here to arrest you. Luckily, you have some self-awareness, saving me the trouble of explaining. Come with us, Miss Zheng."
Zheng Yueru lowered her gaze slightly, frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Alright, I'll go with you. Let's see what you can do to me."
After saying that, Zheng Yueru really came out from behind the desk, ready to leave with Bai Mengfei and the others.
After the three of them went outside, Xiang Yuntian asked Zheng Yueru, "What exactly did you want to do when you went to see Bai Mengfei before?"
"Don't you all already know?" After saying that, Zheng Yueru turned her head arrogantly to look at Bai Mengfei, "And your matter, you really have a lot of nerve, aren't you afraid I'll expose your affairs?"
"Afraid? What's there to be afraid of?" Bai Mengfei asked with a smile. "What's meant to happen will happen sooner or later, won't it?"
Zheng Yueru lowered her head, pondered for a moment, and said, "Yes, what's meant to happen will happen, so my retribution has come. However, perhaps we can perish together now."
Upon hearing Zheng Yueru threaten Bai Mengfei, Xiang Yuntian was instantly enraged. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he immediately stopped Zheng Yueru, staring at her fiercely, and said, "Do you know the consequences of what you're doing?"
"What consequences could I possibly have for doing this?" Zheng Yueru looked back at Xiang Yuntian without fear. "I know you love this woman, you love her deeply. But it's no use, because she'll probably have to die again, or suffer something even worse than death."
Xiang Yuntian was helpless against her, so he could only purse his lips, nod silently, and ponder to himself.
Actually, there was something that not only he couldn't understand, but Bai Mengfei was also puzzled by.
So, he frowned and thought for a while, then turned to look at Zheng Yueru and asked, "You don't lack money, why are you doing this?"
"I didn't intend to do anything, or rather, my motives are something you mortals will never understand," Zheng Yueru said with an air of arrogance.
Bai Mengfei was furious and indignant, saying, "Ha, we are mortals? Aren't you the same? Don't think you're so great!"
"At least I'm better than you guys!"
Bai Mengfei walked directly up to her, looked her straight in the eyes, and said, "I just don't believe you have superpowers. I only believe in science."
"Oh? Is that so? Then how do you explain your background? Nothing in this world is absolute," Zheng Yueru sneered.
