Chapter 216 Eavesdropping

Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's news, Xiang Yuntian's face instantly darkened, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Bai Mengfei didn't need to look closely to clearly notice the change in Xiang Yuntian's expression.

In an instant, she frowned, blinked slightly, and turned her gaze to Xiang Yuntian, her eyes full of interest.

"Why have you suddenly become so worried?" Bai Mengfei asked.

Xiang Yuntian frowned, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "I don't think this matter is that simple. In other words, the consequences could be very serious!"

Did Xiang Yuntian really need to say that?

Bai Mengfei had already realized it.

Just as Bai Mengfei was about to pack these things up as evidence, Wang Tian rushed back in a panic and said to the two of them, "Something bad has happened! Hou Heping is back!"

Upon hearing this news, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian's expressions involuntarily darkened.

The two turned their heads and looked at each other, their faces full of worry.

Xiang Yuntian frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then made a decisive decision: "Let's find a place to hide first!"

Besides, they had no other choice, so Bai Mengfei could only nod silently and agree to Xiang Yuntian's suggestion, saying, "Okay, then let's quickly find a place to hide."

The three then found some tables or similar objects for cover and quietly hid.

Hou Heping had forgotten his phone, so he came back to get it.

However, he was always very cautious, and after taking the phone, he went back to check it again.

Only after the inspection was completed did he leave, feeling relieved.

Fortunately, Bai Mengfei hadn't had time to pack up yet, and most of the equipment remained in its original state. Of course, this was also because Hou Heping never expected that Bai Mengfei and her group would trace it back to him.

After waiting for He Ping to leave for a long time, Bai Mengfei and the other two finally emerged from their hiding place.

Xiang Yuntian said, "We can't stay here any longer; it would be better if we left as soon as possible."

Bai Mengfei completely agreed with this statement, so they quickly packed up the things on the table and left with those items.

However, as they walked down the corridor, Bai Mengfei had another idea in order to find out the truth of the case as soon as possible, and said, "Why don't we go and take a look?"

Girls are usually very curious, so Wang Tian immediately agreed, "Okay!"

Xiang Yuntian frowned and pondered for a moment.

After some consideration, he nodded slightly, agreeing with Bai Mengfei and Wang Tian's idea, and then they left together to conduct an investigation.

Filled with curiosity, the three of them tiptoed to the dormitory and teaching building.

After sneaking up to the upper floors of the teaching building, Bai Mengfei, Xiang Yuntian, and Wang Tian searched for quite a while before finally finding Hou Heping's trail. In fact, they owed a lot to Wang Tian.

Wang Tian recognized the shoes Hou Heping was wearing.

“Look, these shoes belong to Hou Heping,” Wang Tian said in a low voice.

Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian noticed it too, so they quietly went over and hid under the dormitory window, carefully listening to the sounds inside.

The voices of a man and a woman talking could be heard coming from inside.

"Will your wife be sentenced to death?" a woman asked.

The man replied, "I don't think it's that bad! But now I finally have a reason to divorce her, don't I? And Xiaomeng, who worried you the most, is gone now, so we can have our own children in the future."

The woman said, "Sigh, I still feel a little uneasy. What if the police find out?"

At this moment, Bai Mengfei had already taken out her phone and secretly started recording their conversation.

After a moment of silence, the man said with certainty, "I've won countless chemistry awards before; I'm a genius in this field! Even if those police know I did it, they won't be able to find any evidence. Besides, I chose our school as the location for my lab; they'd never guess that, would they? The most dangerous place is the safest place."

That man's voice belonged to Hou Heping!

At this moment, Bai Mengfei felt nauseous upon hearing his voice!

She never imagined that the culprit who killed Xiaomeng was actually her own father.

It is said that even tigers do not eat their cubs, so she simply cannot imagine what kind of mindset a person has to do such a thing.

Thinking of this, Bai Mengfei felt a pang of sadness.

Wang Tian was getting impatient and wanted to rush in and bring them to justice. Fortunately, Xiang Yuntian held her back tightly, otherwise things would have gone awry.

Hou Heping was still inside, talking intimately with the woman, and said, "Come on, no one will know anyway!"

Bai Mengfei simply turned on the video function and secretly recorded from outside the window.

However, the two were so engrossed in their own world that they didn't realize their every move had been recorded.

Initially, Xiang Yuntian thought the time was right to go in and expose them on the spot, but Bai Mengfei felt that doing so was inappropriate. Because Bai Mengfei felt that they were currently on someone else's turf, and even if she was in the right, she was afraid that a powerful dragon could not suppress a local snake.

So she held Xiang Yuntian's hand, signaling him not to make any rash moves.

Then, she quietly slipped away.

Left with no other choice, Xiang Yuntian and Wang Tian had to leave with her.

That evening, the three returned to the house that Zhao Fei had lent to Bai Mengfei.

Since there was only a bed and a sofa, Wang Tian hurriedly sat down on the floor after entering. However, the only thing on the floor wasn't actually for sitting on, but rather Xiang Yuntian's "bed" for sleeping that night!

So Xiang Yuntian blinked and watched silently, a look of unspeakable suffering on his face.

Unfortunately, Wang Tian was oblivious to Xiang Yuntian's expression and remained seated on his "bed," offering his opinion on the case: "This case is really difficult. Although we have physical evidence, we lack witnesses. Moreover, I think it's hard to prove anything based solely on audio and video recordings."

"But have you considered that even under those circumstances, if we had rashly stepped forward, it probably wouldn't have helped?" Bai Mengfei said seriously.

"Why do you say that?" Xiang Yuntian asked.

Bai Mengfei rolled her eyes at him, then smiled faintly and said, "Under those circumstances, they could have easily renege on their promises, didn't you know that?"

Xiang Yuntian suddenly realized that this made a lot of sense, nodded, and said, "That's right. If they turn around and accuse us of being bad people or thieves, then we will have no way to defend ourselves."

“That’s exactly what I mean!” Bai Mengfei said.
