Chapter 457 is missing again.
With a sharp "snap," Bai Mengfei reacted swiftly, grabbing Han Xue's wrist and stopping her suicidal attempt.
Han Xue's emotions, suppressed all day, erupted like a burst dam, and she burst into tears. She turned around, threw herself into Bai Mengfei's arms, and cried out in anguish, "I don't want to die! I'm so young, I really don't want to die!"
"You won't die," Bai Mengfei whispered, trying to soothe her fear.
However, Han Xue remained filled with despair, sobbing as she said, "Don't try to comfort me. I've seen the news too, and I know how cruel that murderer was. He's so ruthless, killing so many people. Taking my life would be as easy as turning his hand, simpler than stepping on an ant!"
Since things had come to this point, Bai Mengfei had no choice but to reveal a little of her secret in order to put Han Xue at ease.
"Here, let me show you something." With that, Bai Mengfei picked up a fruit knife from the side and stretched out her arm. Without hesitation, she made a cut on her arm with the fruit knife.
Immediately afterwards, bright red blood slowly flowed out from the wound.
Han Xue was shocked to see this and said in a panic, "What are you doing?" She was about to look for the first aid kit when Bai Mengfei grabbed her arm.
"Don't go anywhere, keep an eye on my arm," Bai Mengfei said firmly.
Han Xue stared wide-eyed at Bai Mengfei's arm. The wound was miraculously beginning to heal. Witnessing this unbelievable scene, Han Xue was stunned, her mouth agape, unable to utter a word, simply staring blankly at Bai Mengfei.
After the wound had completely healed, Bai Mengfei finally spoke, "See?"
Han Xue nodded subconsciously and murmured, "I saw it, your hand, your wound actually healed by itself!"
Just then, Xiang Yuntian came out of the restroom and witnessed this scene.
Seeing that Bai Mengfei's method worked and Han Xue gradually calmed down, Xiang Yuntian did not go forward to disturb her, but simply stood quietly to the side and watched.
Han Xue stopped crying and became quiet and confused.
During the meal, Bai Mengfei asked softly, "Now you know I have the ability to protect you, right? Why do you still seem so dazed?"
Han Xue sighed and said, "I bought so much insurance, now even if I don't want to die, I probably have no choice. Really!"
"Why were you so impulsive?" Bai Mengfei smiled gently. "But since you've already bought it, there's nothing we can do. Just don't be so impulsive next time. I'll give you our pearls later with Forensic Doctor Xiang. There's only hope if you live well."
Xiang Yuntian didn't care about money, so he naturally nodded in agreement: "Okay."
Han Xue felt a little comforted and lowered her head to say softly, "Thank you!"
At 10:23 p.m., Han Xue, who usually goes to bed around 10:30 p.m., was already very sleepy.
"I'm going to take a shower first, and then I'll go to sleep. I went to bed a little late tonight, and I feel quite tired now," Han Xue said to Bai Mengfei.
When Bai Mengfei heard that she was going to take a bath, she did not follow her, but only instructed her: "If anything happens, shout loudly, and we will come when we hear you."
"Mm," Han Xue replied.
However, Han Xue still hadn't come out of the bathroom by 11:15.
Xiang Yuntian walked over and said, "It seems like she's been washing for quite a while. Why don't you go check on her?"
Bai Mengfei thought for a moment and said, "I don't think so. Girls need to wash their hair and bathe separately, which takes a lot of time. Let's wait a bit longer."
However, by 11:43, Han Xue still hadn't appeared. The shower had taken over an hour, and Bai Mengfei couldn't help but worry that Han Xue might have suffered carbon monoxide poisoning.
With a nervous heart, Bai Mengfei stood up and said to Xiang Yuntian, "I'll go take a look." Then she quickly walked towards the bathroom.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Bai Mengfei called out loudly as she knocked on the door, "Han Xue, are you in there?"
However, there was no response from Han Xue inside, only the sound of rushing water.
Bai Mengfei frowned, her intuition telling her that something must have happened to Han Xue. Without hesitation, she raised her right leg and kicked the bathroom door hard.
With a loud bang, the door was kicked open, but the bathroom was empty, with only water gushing out. By then, the water from the electric water heater had already turned cold.
Bai Mengfei went over to test the water temperature, her brows furrowing even more as she muttered under her breath, "Where did they go?"
At this moment, Xiang Yuntian saw Bai Mengfei enter the bathroom and sensed something was wrong, so he slowly walked in and asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Mengfei turned to him and told him what had happened: "The person is missing!"
"What?" Xiang Yuntian said in surprise, "How could it be gone?"
As he spoke, Xiang Yuntian glanced around the bathroom and noticed that the bathroom window was open.
He immediately went over to take a look and said, "The person may have already left."
"Leave?" Bai Mengfei picked up Han Xue's clothes that she had changed out of and the new clothes that she hadn't changed into yet, and said, "The clothes are still here, where could she have run off to? In my opinion, she has most likely been kidnapped! You call Captain Zhao right away, I'll go downstairs to check."
After saying that, Bai Mengfei rushed to the living room and ran downstairs in one breath.
Once downstairs, Bai Mengfei frantically searched for clues and finally found a slipper on the ground.
She remembered that these were Han Xue's slippers. It seemed that Han Xue had likely met with misfortune and been dragged elsewhere by the murderer.
Left with no other choice, Bai Mengfei could only stand still and wait for Zhao Fei and the others to come to her aid.
Zhao Fei quickly led his team to the scene and cordoned it off before questioning Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei: "How were you two watching her? How did she just disappear? Even if it were a magic trick, it wouldn't be this outrageous!"
Xiang Yuntian quickly explained, "Captain Zhao, she was taking a shower just now. We can't exactly go in with her, can we?"
"Alright, stop making excuses!" Zhao Fei said impatiently. "Judging from the current situation, after the killer dealt with them, your next target is likely to be the two of you. You have two choices: either I send people to protect you 24 hours a day, or you're on your own!"
Without hesitation, Xiang Yuntian said, "Then I'll definitely choose the first one!"
However, Bai Mengfei said, "I choose the second one."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuntian decisively changed his mind and stood on the same side as Bai Mengfei, saying, "Then I'll choose the second one too. Let's just hope for the best!"
Zhao Fei didn't understand Bai Mengfei's thoughts at all and glared at her angrily. But he felt that Bai Mengfei must have her own plans, so he didn't say anything more and let her stick to her choice.
After Zhao Fei and the police left, Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but ask Bai Mengfei, "Why did you choose the second one?"
"With so many of them here, would the murderer dare to show his face? And can they stay with us forever?" Bai Mengfei countered.
