A forensic doctor is reborn, sir, please don't bully me!

Chapter 354 Suspicion of Xiao Dong

“That’s right.” Kelly turned her head, glanced at Zhu Heng, and then quickly looked at Xiang Yuntian.

After all, Xiang Yuntian had invited her, so she only listened to Xiang Yuntian. "That's why he just managed to evade my tracking. Actually, if it were me, I could have located him in just one minute and forty seconds, but I was just a few seconds short."

Xiao Dong, who had just come out of the restroom, immediately squeezed through the crowd, walked forward, and said while shaking the water droplets off his hands, "If only it had been a few more seconds!"

The atmosphere at the scene became tense, and no one was in the mood to pay attention to him.

After a while, Zhu Heng said with a worried look, "We haven't even raised ten million yet, and now we have another ten million. Moreover, the criminals seem to know a lot about our situation, they even know that we have so many police officers here."

After pondering for a moment, Xiang Yuntian guessed, "Maybe he was just guessing randomly? He just happened to guess right."

Zhu Heng sighed heavily, shook his head slowly, and said, "Impossible. If it were just a guess, he wouldn't have been so certain. I always felt that he was among us, one of us."

After speaking, Zhu Heng glanced at the police officers present.

The officers looked at each other, sizing each other up, all wondering if it was someone close to them who had done it.

Finally, when Zhu Heng's gaze fell on Xiao Dong, everyone else turned their attention to him as well.

"Hey, why are you all staring at me like that?" Xiao Dong asked, a little flustered.

Zhu Heng's eyes sharpened, and he asked, "Where did you go just now?"

"Going to the toilet!" Xiao Dong held up his hands to show everyone. "My hands are still wet, you can see for yourselves!"

Bai Mengfei also began to suspect him, and stared at him quietly.

Because he was quite familiar with Bai Mengfei, Xiao Dong cared a lot about her opinion, so he asked Bai Mengfei, "They don't believe me, so you don't believe me either, do you?"

Bai Mengfei simply said, "You're very suspicious. I received that phone call as soon as you left."

"No way, so you don't believe me at all?" Xiao Dong's face turned red with anxiety, and he put his hands on his hips. "Fine, since you don't believe me, you can lock me up."

Zhu Heng actually nodded and said, "This is a good idea. Lock him up first."

"Director Zhu, is it really that serious? I have a younger sister, you know, I have to go home and feed her every day!"

“I will take care of your sister. During this time, you just stay in the detention room and clear your name,” Zhu Heng decided.

Xiao Dong reluctantly agreed and said nothing more.

After Xiao Dong was locked up, everyone felt heavy-hearted, and almost everyone was worried about their own situation.

So the place was so quiet all morning that you could hear a pin drop.

In Zhu Heng's office, Bai Mengfei, Xiang Yuntian, and Kelly sat facing Zhu Heng, watching him with a perpetually furrowed brow.

Zhu Heng held his phone, hesitating whether or not he should call his brother-in-law. Actually, both professionally and personally, he should.

But considering that his sister and brother-in-law were getting old, he was very conflicted.

"Director Zhu, go ahead and fight if you want!" Bai Mengfei said.

Zhu Heng immediately put down his phone, looked up at Bai Mengfei, and said, "Do you think I don't want to fight?"

Bai Mengfei slowly shook her head, sighed, and said, "I can understand why you're so conflicted."

"Really?" Director Zhu asked.

Bai Mengfei nodded firmly and said, "It all comes down to four words: human relationships and social customs. You're worried they can't handle it, right? But out of a sense of responsibility, you feel you should make this call, which is why you're so troubled."

“That’s right,” Zhu Heng agreed. “That’s why I’m really in a dilemma right now, and I have no idea what to do.”

After saying that, Zhu Heng stood up, turned around and walked towards the window.

Without hesitation, Bai Mengfei grabbed the phone and dialed the number that Zhu Heng dared not call.

After the call connected, Zhen Chuan asked on the other end, "Hey, Zhu Heng, why did you suddenly decide to call me?"

“Mr. Zhen, I am not Zhu Heng, I am Zhang Ting, forensic doctor Zhang.”

Upon hearing Bai Mengfei make a phone call to her brother-in-law, Zhu Heng immediately turned around in surprise, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Xiang Yuntian and Kelly were also surprised, not expecting Bai Mengfei to be so courageous.

Zhen Chuan asked in confusion on the other end of the phone, "How come you have my brother-in-law's phone number?"

“Because there are some things he doesn’t dare tell you, so I’ll tell you,” Bai Mengfei said calmly. “Mr. Zhen, Zhen Liang has been kidnapped, and the kidnappers are demanding a ransom of 20 million yuan. I know you will pay that money, but that’s not my main point. I just want to tell you that Zhen Liang has been kidnapped.”

On the other end of the phone, Zhen Chuan remained silent for several minutes. After a heavy sigh, he lowered his voice and asked, "If I pay the money, will I be able to get my son back?"

His voice trembled slightly, making Bai Mengfei sense Zhen Chuan's vulnerability.

Zhen Chuan has always been strict with Zhen Liang, making Zhen Liang tremble with fear whenever he hears someone mention "your dad".

His current status in the business world is also due to his tough attitude.

But today, he compromised, agreeing to the thugs' demands without even discussing it. From his tone, Bai Mengfei could sense that he seemed to have reached the point where he was willing to give up everything.

It is clear that even a father has moments of weakness.

After careful consideration, Bai Mengfei rationally gave a clear answer: "That's not necessarily true. There's a possibility that the hostage will be killed. However, we will cooperate with your brother-in-law to minimize the risks and try our best to pay the ransom to ensure Zhen Liang's safety."

"Don't try!" Zhen Chuan, who had been calm, suddenly stood up, his voice trembling with excitement. "As long as my son can be saved, I'll give him 100 million, let alone 20 million. But my son can't be hurt in the slightest. Otherwise, I will make sure that thug is crushed to pieces."

"Mr. Zhen, please calm down and take care of your health."

Before Bai Mengfei could finish speaking, Zhu Heng strode over, snatched the phone, and said to Zhen Chuan, "Brother-in-law, I'm sorry. As the director, I couldn't guarantee that I could rescue you and my sister's only son. I'm sorry, I'm useless."
