Chapter 415 Plan
Chapter 415 Plan
Throughout the journey, Bai Mengfei's thoughts were tangled up like a jumbled mess.
She kept asking herself if this was too risky. What if something really happened to her? How would she explain it to Xiang Yuntian?
These thoughts kept swirling in her mind, making her feel agitated. Gradually, she felt drowsy and eventually fell into a deep sleep.
As dawn broke and the sky gradually brightened, Bai Mengfei, who was still fast asleep, was gently awakened by the staff in the car.
"Hey, young lady, wake up, you should wake up!" the staff member said softly.
Bai Mengfei slowly opened her sleepy eyes and looked up. Turning her head, she saw that the sky outside the window was already bright, and the scenery outside had changed to a rural scene. Only then did she realize that she had arrived at her destination.
"Okay!" she replied softly, then stood up and picked up the backpack beside her.
Under the watchful eyes of the staff, Bai Mengfei slung her backpack over one shoulder and stepped out of the car.
As soon as she got off the bus, she looked towards the village. After a brief pause, she walked towards the village alone. This time, she embarked on this adventure alone, yet she felt no fear, but rather a sense of familiarity.
After walking for a long time, she finally arrived at the village.
Upon entering the village, she went straight to the neighborhood committee and found the village chief. Taking advantage of the fact that only the village chief was present, she asked, "Could we find a place to talk privately?"
The village chief looked up, saw it was her, and realizing she seemed to have something important to say, nodded and granted her request.
Then, the village chief led Bai Mengfei to a banana grove and asked solemnly, "What do you want with me?"
“Village Chief, I hope you can help me!” Bai Mengfei said solemnly. “I’m here to investigate a case, but I can’t reveal my identity. So I would like to ask you to help me conceal my whereabouts and keep me as undetected as possible, so that it will be easier for me to carry out my investigation.”
The village chief immediately understood her meaning, nodded slightly, and said, "You want to play a trick of 'the enemy is in the light, and you are in the dark,' right?"
Bai Mengfei smiled slightly and nodded in confirmation: "That's right!"
The village chief lowered his head and pondered for a moment. After some consideration, he said, "Alright, I will do my best to help you, after all, you are also trying to catch the murderer. I can help you prepare a house, some changes of clothes, three meals a day, and some other living supplies."
“Yes, that’s fine!” Bai Mengfei nodded gently. “I think these are enough. I’ve already packed everything else I need in my backpack.”
The village chief nodded slightly, and then led Bai Mengfei to a house in the banana grove.
“This house is made of cement and originally belonged to the owner of this forest. Later, the forest was sold to my brother-in-law, and the house became his property. However, my brother-in-law rarely comes over, so you can stay here without worry. I will bring you food every day, so please be careful,” the village chief explained.
"Okay, thank you, village chief!" Bai Mengfei said gratefully.
"No need to be so polite. We've worked together before, after all. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." With that, the village chief turned and left in a hurry.
Bai Mengfei then turned her gaze to the room, turned around, reached out her hand, and gently pushed. With a creak, the door slowly opened.
She walked in unhurriedly and casually placed her backpack on the floor. Then, she walked towards the bed in the room, but she didn't intend to rest. Instead, she began to plan her next investigation.
She decided to start her investigation with Linghu Bin, but she still had to wait for the village chief to deliver the prepared clothes.
It wasn't until dusk that the village chief brought the clothes over. Upon seeing Bai Mengfei, the village chief said apologetically, "I'm sorry, all my colleagues are here today, so I'm not available. Here, these are clothes my wife prepared for you. Try them on and see if they fit."
Bai Mengfei nodded immediately and took the clothes. Actually, she was still somewhat wary of the village chief.
After the village chief left, she carefully checked the clothes to make sure there were no problems before changing. At the same time, she cautiously checked the entire room to make sure there was nothing unusual.
That evening, after dinner, she went to Linghu Bin's residence to observe him. Because the clothes the village chief had given her were black, she almost blended into the darkness under the cover of night.
Arriving outside Linghu Bin's house, she cautiously observed the situation inside through the window.
Linghu Bin and Qi Han were already living together.
Qi Han finished preparing the meal and said gently, "Come and eat!"
"Oh!" Linghu Bin responded, then walked over and ate with Qi Han.
During the meal, both of them appeared very calm. From their expressions, it was clear that they both had something on their minds, so they remained silent and did not exchange many words.
Qi Han seemed to want to resolve some issues, and occasionally glanced up at Linghu Bin.
After glancing at it several times, Qi Han finally spoke up, "Actually, it's all in the past now, don't take it too hard."
Linghu Bin immediately looked up at her, smiled slightly, and said, "I didn't take it to heart. Let's eat. Once things calm down, we'll go back, and I'll make sure you live a good life."
"Mmm!" Qi Han nodded gently, a happy smile appearing on her face.
After eating for a while, Qi Han suddenly said, "By the way, I saw on the news that your family's business was having some problems. Is that true?"
"It's all just rumors, there's no truth to it. Stop overthinking and just eat!" Linghu Bin said.
Qi Han said "Oh", and then added, "Actually, I've been feeling quite restless lately."
"What's wrong?" Linghu Bin immediately stopped what he was doing, gently put down his chopsticks, and asked with concern, "Perhaps you're overthinking it. I told you everything because I trust you and didn't want to hide anything from you. But you really don't need to worry too much, I'm here for you!"
"Yes, I know. I'm just worried about that thief and those security guards. I'm afraid that if the higher-ups investigate seriously, they won't keep quiet and will give you away," Qi Han said.
At this moment, Bai Mengfei, who was eavesdropping outside, fell into deep thought, recalling everything that had happened before. She suddenly realized that those events were likely related to Linghu Bin. It seemed that Linghu Bin was an extremely deep and cunning person.
Just then, Linghu Bin said, "Don't worry, they won't tell anyone!"
"What makes you so sure?" Qi Han pressed.
Linghu Bin suddenly stood up, walked to the window, and closed it. Bai Mengfei was startled by this sudden action and quickly crouched down even lower.
Fortunately, Linghu Bin closed the window and immediately returned to his seat.
