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

Chapter 316 Heartbroken

Bai Mengfei was about to reply to Zhao Fei, explaining the rules and the difficulties they faced in detail, when she saw another message from Zhao Fei: "Don't worry about the procedures. I'll send Wang Tian to participate in the investigation. You two can go together under the guise of 'assisting in the investigation.' I need your and Yun Tian's keen insight. Don't reply anymore, it's settled then, listen to me!"

Upon seeing the last word, "obedient," Bai Mengfei couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly. However, since Zhao Fei didn't want her to reply anymore, she was too lazy to argue with him. She simply held her phone, sat on the edge of the bed, and drifted into deep thought.

After much thought, the only thing she could be sure of was...

No matter what, you still have to rely on yourself in the end.

Just then, Xiang Yuntian finished washing up and came out of the bathroom.

Upon seeing Bai Mengfei sitting there blankly, Xiang Yuntian quickly walked over and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine!" Bai Mengfei didn't want Xiang Yuntian to know what she was thinking, so she forced a smile and said, "Okay, I'm really fine, you don't need to worry about me so much."

How could Xiang Yuntian not worry about her?

Seeing her worried expression, Xiang Yuntian slowly squatted down beside her and looked up at her.

"Honestly, sometimes I really feel sorry for you."

Faced with Xiang Yuntian's sudden and affectionate confession, Bai Mengfei was flustered and at a loss, her face turning bright red instantly.

She lowered her head slightly, smiled shyly, and nodded gently.

In Xiang Yuntian's eyes, her smile was incredibly moving. The starlight outside the window shone on Bai Mengfei's face, adding a touch of gentleness to her usually cold and serious expression, which deeply touched Xiang Yuntian's heart.

Feeling embarrassed by Xiang Yuntian's affectionate gaze, Bai Mengfei quietly turned her face away and changed the subject, saying, "The main suspect in this case is Cai Qi. Captain Zhao has instructed us to keep a close watch on him."

"Yes, I know." Xiang Yuntian didn't actually know the specifics, but he casually agreed when Bai Mengfei said that.

He stood up gently, intending to sit next to Bai Mengfei. But just then, his phone rang; he didn't know who had to call at this particular moment.

Upon hearing the phone ring, Xiang Yuntian immediately perked up and took out his phone to check. Unexpectedly, the call was from Zhao Fei.

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Fei's stomach felt much better. The first thing he did after recovering from the agony was to call Xiang Yuntian.

"Hey, Yuntian, I think it's necessary to talk to you about this case. You need to keep a close eye on it," Zhao Fei instructed.

Xiang Yuntian immediately replied, "Okay, Captain Zhao, please go ahead!"

"Well, let me tell you, this Cai Qi is very suspicious right now, so I've already told Zhang Ting that this case will be handled by the two of you. I hope you can handle it well, okay?"

Xiang Yuntian pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly and said on the other end of the phone, "No problem, Captain Zhao."

“Okay, I’ll send Wang Tian over to assist you later,” Zhao Fei said.

Hearing this, Xiang Yuntian was actually a little disappointed, but he still nodded and agreed, "Okay, then let her come to me tomorrow. In that case, we won't go back to the police station for the time being."

"Yes, that's what I mean."

The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up one after the other.

As soon as Xiang Yuntian turned around, he saw that Bai Mengfei was already asleep in bed, covered with a blanket. He tiptoed to Bai Mengfei's side, bent down, and looked at the sorrow on her face, his heart filled with heartache.

He raised his right hand and gently reached out, wanting to brush the hair from Bai Mengfei's forehead. But just then, Bai Mengfei suddenly rolled over, startling him so much that he quickly withdrew his hand.

Fortunately, the action did not wake Bai Mengfei. Xiang Yuntian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Seeing that Bai Mengfei was sleeping so peacefully, he couldn't bear to disturb her, so he silently turned away.

That night, Xiang Yuntian couldn't sleep a wink, his mind filled with thoughts of Bai Mengfei. He desperately wished he could become stronger so he could better protect Bai Mengfei and lessen her worries and sorrows.

It wasn't until the next morning that Bai Mengfei woke up from her sleep, while Xiang Yuntian was still sitting by the window, leaning against the window, staring blankly out the window.

"Why are you up so early?" Bai Mengfei asked.

Actually, she got up early, while Xiang Yuntian didn't sleep all night.

Hearing Bai Mengfei's question, Xiang Yuntian naturally turned his head, looked at her, and smiled, "Yes, I got up very early." He didn't reveal the fact that he hadn't slept all night because he didn't want Bai Mengfei to worry about him.

Bai Mengfei got out of bed and slowly walked to him. In the sunlight, she was surprised to find that Xiang Yuntian had a few gray hairs on his head.

"You actually have gray hair?" Bai Mengfei said in surprise.

Xiang Yuntian then realized, but still stubbornly said, "No way? You must have seen wrong."

"Really, if you don't believe me, go look in the mirror in the bathroom."

"Alright, no need!" Xiang Yuntian hurriedly stood up, trying to avoid the topic. "Didn't Captain Zhao tell us we still have a mission to do?"

Hearing Xiang Yuntian say this, Bai Mengfei suddenly remembered and exclaimed, "Oh, right, we need to find Cai Qi now and follow him. We must get there before he leaves. What time is it now?"

After saying that, Bai Mengfei hurriedly looked for her phone. She had gone to bed early last night and had casually tossed her phone next to her pillow, so it was a bit difficult to find now.

Xiang Yuntian didn't check the time and said directly, "It's already past six o'clock."

Bai Mengfei picked up her phone and saw that it was indeed time.

"Oh my god!" she exclaimed anxiously. "If Cai Qi leaves at 6:30, it'll be a disaster. Let's hurry!"

With that, she grabbed her coat and hurriedly went out the door. Xiang Yuntian didn't even remind her that she hadn't washed up yet, and quickly followed her.

The two arrived at the elevator, and as soon as the elevator doors opened, they saw Wang Tian standing inside.

Bai Mengfei was genuinely surprised to see this, not expecting Wang Tian to arrive so quickly. Xiang Yuntian was even more shocked, as he had no intention of cooperating with Wang Tian at all.

He knew in his heart that this woman had feelings for him, and getting too close to her would inevitably lead to some unnecessary entanglements.

He understood very well that if any unexpected situation arose and he was misunderstood as having two relationships at once, it would definitely bring trouble in the end.
