Chapter 361 Courage
"I believe you!" Bai Mengfei quickly replied.
"Of course you can do that, but if you kill her, will you still have any leverage to talk to me? Actually, I suspect you're just doing this for revenge, aren't you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the thug became agitated and questioned, "Why would you think that?"
"Seeing how nervous you are, it seems I guessed right, didn't I?" Bai Mengfei was stalling for time while also trying to get information out of the other party.
Since there are currently no leads in the case, she has no other choice but to resort to this drastic measure.
Although the thug was somewhat deranged, he was extremely meticulous and did not glean any useful information from Bai Mengfei; he only sneered.
After laughing for a while, he hung up the phone.
After Bai Mengfei gently put down her phone, Zhu Heng asked, "What did he say to you?"
"They didn't say anything of value, just a lot of vulgar nonsense. But one thing is certain: Xiaoyun is safe and sound for the time being."
After listening to Bai Mengfei's explanation, Zhu Heng asked nervously, "What about Zhen Liang?"
“I didn’t hear Zhen Liang’s voice, and he didn’t mention Zhen Liang’s condition, so it’s still unclear whether Zhen Liang is alive or dead,” Bai Mengfei said.
Zhu Heng was immediately disappointed. He lowered his head dejectedly, sighed, and said wistfully, "So, Zhen Liang is likely in grave danger?"
"That's a fair assessment," Bai Mengfei replied in a deep voice.
Zhu Heng sighed heavily, then turned around, placed his hands on the desk, and looked extremely dejected.
As a man, Xiang Yuntian could better understand his feelings, so he stepped forward, gently put his arm around his shoulder, and offered encouragement: "He should be alright. Zhen Liang still has a 50% chance of survival, so we must stay hopeful."
"Don't try to comfort me." Zhu Heng smiled bitterly, his smile full of bitterness. "If it were really as you say, that would be good. But I know that it's more likely that he was murdered. This murderer is very likely the one who killed Lin Xueyi, and what he's doing now is definitely a serial crime."
Just then, the door was pushed open and a person walked in.
Upon seeing Zhu Heng there, the man immediately stepped forward and said, "Chief, we've all come up empty-handed, and everyone is waiting for your redeployment. Shouldn't we take a new step?"
Zhu Heng raised his left hand, waved it, and said, "No need, you can go out first. Tell the brothers to go back and rest."
It seems that Zhu Heng is planning to give up!
In order to solve the case, Bai Mengfei turned around and left with the policeman who was walking out. Seeing Bai Mengfei turn around, Xiang Yuntian followed without hesitation and left the office together.
Upon reaching the corridor, Xiang Yuntian hurriedly caught up with Bai Mengfei and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to find the murderer," Bai Mengfei replied calmly.
Xiang Yuntian tensed up and said, "Wait, where are you going to look? The situation is special right now, it's dangerous for you to go out alone. Besides, we don't even know where he is, do we?"
Bai Mengfei's expression turned serious. She took a deep breath and said to him, "We've faced many dangers before. And you should have sensed it too, that the murderer seems to be targeting me. So, the only way is to give him the opportunity to attack me, and that's the only way to lure him out."
"Really?" Xiang Yuntian asked doubtfully, "But do you think it's worth it? To risk your life to lure the murderer out."
Bai Mengfei smiled calmly, looked up at him, and asked in return, "What do you think?"
Xiang Yuntian fell silent. In truth, he would have made the same choice if he were in Bai Mengfei's shoes, but he was unwilling to risk Bai Mengfei's life.
Seeing that he was silent with his head down, Bai Mengfei turned around and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, he reached out his left hand and gently grasped Bai Mengfei's left hand, stopping her from leaving, his grip tightening slightly.
"What are you doing?" Bai Mengfei immediately turned her head and looked at him in confusion.
He remained silent for a long time before asking Bai Mengfei, "Can't you not go? Promise me this time, because this murderer is no ordinary person, and I hope you understand."
Bai Mengfei pondered for a long time before finally pulling her hand back forcefully.
As she frowned, she sadly looked away, her face showing a hint of stubbornness beneath the coldness.
Bai Mengfei left, and Xiang Yuntian could only stand there, watching her departing figure. He dared not step forward to stop her, fearing that too much restraint would hasten the fading of their relationship.
His eyes reflected her departing figure; she was completely gone, while he remained standing in the corridor, staring blankly into space.
Kelly then came out of the office and saw that he wasn't leaving with Bai Mengfei. She wanted to go up and check on him, but seeing how lonely he looked, she didn't dare approach. After all, she knew his personality too well.
After leaving the police station, Bai Mengfei took out her phone as soon as she stepped down the stairs.
The first thing she did was try to contact the killer who had been hiding in the shadows using her phone.
Just as she was clinging to a sliver of hope and trying to call back, another unknown number called. This number, like the previous ones, was very long and clearly not ordinary.
It must have been the murderer calling again, right?
Bai Mengfei answered the phone without hesitation. As she walked quickly out of the police station, she said, "Hey, where are you now? I just left the police station. If you're really here for me, you can make your move now."
A burst of laughter immediately came from the other end of the phone, the voice still sarcastic: "Heh, aren't you afraid of dying?"
"I'm not afraid." As she said this, Bai Mengfei thought to herself: I've been through life and death before, what's there to be afraid of?
After leaving the police station, Bai Mengfei looked around and then said, "If you can still monitor me, you should know I'm not lying to you, I really am out. You've always been the one setting the conditions, now it's my turn, isn't it?"
The other party was clearly surprised by Bai Mengfei's courage and was taken aback by her words.
