Chapter 168 Escape

Having said that, Bai Mengfei saw the murderous intent in the old ghost's eyes and fell silent.

Old Ghost glared at her fiercely for a moment, then gripped his knife and slowly approached her.

What is Xiang Yuntian doing right now?

In fact, he was also a little stunned by the sudden appearance of the old ghost, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream, so he just stood there blankly.

It wasn't until the old ghost came to Bai Mengfei's side and raised his knife to slash at her that Xiang Yuntian finally woke up from his dream.

Fortunately, it wasn't too late!

After training, Bai Mengfei became even more agile than before. Seeing the knife coming down, she quickly bent down, slipped under the old ghost's arm, and then ran outside.

Xiang Yuntian hurriedly followed her, partly to protect her, and partly because he was eager to escape danger himself.

In order to escape successfully, the two held each other's hands tightly and ran down the mountain in one go.

They fell countless times along the way, but each time they fell, they quickly got up and kept running.

As they ran down the long road at the foot of the mountain, the two saw a blinding light shining in the distance. They weren't sure if it was friend or foe; it was highly likely that it was one of Old Ghost's accomplices waiting to pick them up.

Xiang Yuntian took a deep breath and subconsciously gripped Bai Mengfei's wrist even tighter.

“Don’t be afraid,” he said to Bai Mengfei, but in reality, his own heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of his throat.

Meanwhile, Bai Mengfei's clothes were already soaked with sweat, but she still smiled slightly and said with feigned strength, "Well, I'm not afraid at all. Actually, being with you, I might as well die."

Bai Mengfei's words came from the bottom of her heart; she felt that this time she was probably doomed.

However, those words, spoken unintentionally, deeply moved Xiang Yuntian.

Xiang Yuntian turned around excitedly and looked at her in surprise.

Bai Mengfei noticed Xiang Yuntian's gaze and turned her head to meet his eyes.

At this moment, the two of them were in a predicament, as if surrounded by wolves in front and tigers behind, unable to advance or retreat.

But they didn't panic at all; on the contrary, they seemed exceptionally calm and composed, simply because they had each other in their hearts.

"Are you telling the truth? Are you willing to die with me?" Xiang Yuntian asked, somewhat moved. After all, he knew in his heart that this was not an ordinary romantic promise, but a statement that had a 50% chance of coming true.

Bai Mengfei simply smiled faintly, nodded firmly, and said, "Yes, I am willing."

Upon hearing this answer, Xiang Yuntian felt that even if he died, he would have no regrets.

But reality disappointed him somewhat, because walking towards them were Zhao Fei and his colleagues.

After discovering the truth, Zhao Fei was worried about the safety of the two, so he sent people to search for them.

"It's you, Captain Zhao?" Xiang Yuntian said in surprise.

Zhao Fei smiled slightly and walked over quickly with his colleagues. He frowned slightly and said, "It seems you two are both alright, that's great. I was worried about you after I hung up the phone, so I brought people over. I was wondering where to meet you. Shall we go?"

Upon learning that Zhao Fei had come to pick them up, Xiang Yuntian was somewhat delighted, but Bai Mengfei remained indifferent.

No one knows what Bai Mengfei is thinking at this moment.

In the car, Xiang Yuntian told Zhao Fei the whole story.

However, Zhao Fei's attitude was very indifferent after hearing this, and he did not say that he would go back to arrest the murderer.

It seems he still wants to hide the truth.

Xiang Yuntian saw through Zhao Fei's thoughts at a glance.

However, he couldn't understand why Bai Mengfei remained silent and sat there quietly.

After returning home, Bai Mengfei went straight to wash up and prepare for bed.

She didn't say another word from beginning to end.

Xiang Yuntian was very worried about her condition, so he hurriedly chased after her to the bathroom door and asked anxiously, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," she had to reply.

"But I feel like something's off with you. You've been so quiet ever since you saw Captain Zhao and the others. Are you sure you're alright?" Xiang Yuntian asked with concern.

Bai Mengfei leaned quietly against the door, recalling the scene from just now.

In fact, she was quite surprised and afraid when she saw Zhao Fei, because it brought her back to reality and made her realize that she should not have confessed to Xiang Yuntian.

Throughout the journey, she couldn't help but ponder this question.

Hearing Xiang Yuntian's question, it seemed he was determined to get to the bottom of it, so Bai Mengfei had no choice but to say, "I'm really fine, please stop asking me, okay?"

Sensing the helplessness in Bai Mengfei's tone, Xiang Yuntian assumed she had some private matters to discuss, so he didn't press the matter further.

"Okay, then I'll go and tidy up your room first." With that, Xiang Yuntian turned and left.

Bai Mengfei stood forlornly in the bathroom for a while, letting the water from the showerhead wash over her, soaking her clothes.

She wasn't doing this to save trouble, but because at that moment she had no interest in anything outside herself, including her own body; she was only preoccupied with their current relationship.

Should I finally talk things out with Xiang Yuntian and go our separate ways from now on?

Or should we continue to conceal it and maintain the current lukewarm state?

Or is there a better solution?

After all, in her heart, she knew she would leave sooner or later; it was an unavoidable dilemma.

She rinsed herself for quite a while before changing into clean clothes and coming out.

Seeing that she had finally come out, Xiang Yuntian figured she would say what she wanted to say, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"I've made your bed. Get some rest and don't think too much."

After saying that, Xiang Yuntian prepared to leave the room.

However, just as he was passing by Bai Mengfei, she suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

"Huh? Is something the matter?" Xiang Yuntian turned his head in surprise and looked at Bai Mengfei.

Bai Mengfei sighed and said, "I think we need to talk things out. We can't go on like this."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuntian felt a sense of foreboding and asked, "What is it?"

Bai Mengfei took a deep breath, hesitated for a long time, and then slowly said, "I want to say that we should get along like ordinary friends in the future. No, I mean... like ordinary colleagues."
