Chapter 537 in 1 Possibility
Bai Mengfei nodded slightly and said with a solemn expression, "Since this is a possibility, we might as well follow this clue and think about it more deeply."
"Hmm!" Xiang Yuntian responded, his expression serious. He then quickly raised his head and looked at Zhao Fei.
Zhao Fei sighed softly and said helplessly, "Why are you looking at me?"
Xiang Yuntian smiled slightly, shook his head, and explained, "It's nothing. I just feel that this case is a bit strange, and I wanted to see if you could come up with any clues."
"If even you two geniuses can't figure it out, how could I possibly come up with it?" Zhao Fei retorted.
Upon being praised by Zhao Fei, Xiang Yuntian felt a little embarrassed and quickly said, "No, no, you are the captain and have a lot of experience. We still need to ask you for advice on many things."
"Alright, stop flattering each other." Bai Mengfei's mind was completely focused on the case, and she had no interest in watching them compliment each other. "Instead of wasting time praising each other, you should think about how to solve the case."
Xiang Yuntian and Zhao Fei felt that Bai Mengfei's words made sense, so they both quieted down.
Bai Mengfei frowned, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "Is it possible that this group of people has some kind of connection with the criminal police?"
"No way? You've actually suspected a criminal investigator?" Zhao Fei said in surprise.
Xiang Yuntian echoed, "That seems unlikely, doesn't it?"
"Why is it impossible?" Bai Mengfei pressed.
When she asked this question, Zhao Fei and Xiang Yuntian were speechless for a moment, looking at each other, not knowing how to answer.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Fei suggested, "How about this, instead of guessing here, let's think about where we should investigate next."
"Where should we investigate?" Bai Mengfei asked, puzzled.
Zhao Fei immediately replied, "You two will have to use your brains to figure this out. Do you expect me to do it? This kind of brain-intensive work is exactly what you young people should be doing!" After saying that, Zhao Fei turned around and walked back to his desk, pretending to be approving documents.
He glanced casually at the documents on the table, then looked up, asking with a blank expression, "Why are you two still here? Why aren't you leaving?"
Xiang Yuntian smiled helplessly and said, "We didn't say we weren't leaving, we just stayed to see if there's anything else we can help you with."
"No, no, you guys should hurry up and leave! Solve this shocking case as soon as possible! Go now!" Zhao Fei said somewhat perfunctorily.
Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei exchanged a glance and then left the office together.
As soon as they stepped outside, Bai Mengfei asked Xiang Yuntian, "Do you have any good ideas?"
"What brilliant ideas do I have?" Xiang Yuntian said with a wry smile. "Right now, I just want to find the murderers as soon as possible, bring them to justice, and settle this matter quickly. I have other things to do."
Upon hearing Xiang Yuntian say he had something to do, Bai Mengfei said, "If you have something to do, then go ahead and do it. Don't worry about me."
"I..." Xiang Yuntian opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.
Bai Mengfei noticed that he seemed to have something to say, and a puzzled look appeared on her face. She looked him over carefully and asked, "Is there something you need?"
Xiang Yuntian hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said, "Of course there's something."
"What is it?" Bai Mengfei asked.
"Let's go eat, I'm hungry." Unexpectedly, Xiang Yuntian used food to change the subject.
Bai Mengfei sensed that Xiang Yuntian was definitely hiding something from her, but she still agreed to his suggestion and accompanied him to the restaurant.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, seeing Xiang Yuntian sitting there looking uneasy, Bai Mengfei became even more certain that something was wrong, and pressed him for an answer: "What are you hiding from me?"
Xiang Yuntian quickly shook his head, forced a smile, and said, "No, what could I possibly be hiding from you? Don't overthink it, let's order."
After saying that, Xiang Yuntian raised his hand and beckoned the waiter over.
After the waiter arrived, Xiang Yuntian focused on ordering the food.
Bai Mengfei sat opposite him, quietly observing his expression, wondering what he was hiding.
Xiang Yuntian carefully concealed his emotions, keeping his head down after ordering the food, occasionally glancing out the window, but not daring to look directly at Bai Mengfei.
Bai Mengfei couldn't help but point at him and say, "What exactly happened? Tell me quickly!"
"It's actually nothing."
Seeing this, Bai Mengfei stood up and pretended to leave.
Xiang Yuntian quickly reached out to stop her, saying, "Okay, don't do this, I'll tell you."
Hearing him say that, Bai Mengfei slowly sat down and waited quietly for him to speak.
After hesitating for a while, Xiang Yuntian finally revealed the truth: "Actually, my parents forced me to get married."
"Your parents?" Bai Mengfei asked in surprise. "Why are they pressuring you?"
Xiang Yuntian took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said, "Because they don't want us to be together, do you understand?"
Bai Mengfei found it hard to believe. Didn't her aunt and uncle like her a lot before? So she asked with a doubtful look, "Are you telling the truth?"
Xiang Yuntian nodded firmly, his expression almost as if he were swearing an oath to the heavens. He said helplessly, "It's true. They wanted me to go into business and handle my work properly. But when they found out I was still hesitating between forensic medicine and the business world, they blamed you for it. So now they want me to get married as soon as possible."
Bai Mengfei smiled lightly and said in a cold tone, "That's good."
"What's so great about it? I don't want to get married at all! No, wait!" Xiang Yuntian immediately changed his tune, "I only want to marry you."
After he finished speaking, he gazed at Bai Mengfei with deep affection, his eyes full of expectation.
Bai Mengfei shook her head gently with a wry smile and said, "I think the possibility of us being together is very small, almost nonexistent."
"So, you mean you can't be with me, or you don't want to be with me?" Xiang Yuntian pressed.
