Chapter 114 Successful Arrest
Chapter 114 Successful Arrest
Her makeup was heavy, her lips a near-black red, a stark contrast to her usual image. What was she doing standing there now? Was she contemplating jumping?
Bai Mengfei naturally wouldn't stand idly by and watch her jump from the high building. She immediately shouted, "Don't be impulsive! We can discuss anything properly. There's no need to take this step!"
Fan Nianzhen smiled slightly and asked, "Can you understand?"
As a man, Xiang Yuntian found this difficult to understand and could only stand quietly without speaking.
His eyes were fixed on the swaying Fan Nianzhen, and he didn't dare to breathe loudly, secretly sweating.
Bai Mengfei, being mature, tried to slowly approach, hoping to find the right moment to hug Fan Nianzhen, lest she really take her own life out of fear of punishment.
"Didn't you say you wanted to be friends with me? I agree now, let's be friends."
As she approached, she tried to distract Fan Nianzhen by talking to her: "If you have any worries, you can tell me! Friends should share with each other, right?"
Fan Nianzhen sniffed hard, sucking back the snot that was about to drip down her nose, while tears welled up in her eyes.
"Don't come any closer." She looked at Bai Mengfei with a bitter smile. "I know in my heart that you've come here to arrest me. Xu Sanmin has already told me, and I know I can't escape. Yes, I admit that I killed her by mistake, but I really didn't mean to."
"Why should I ruin my future? Besides, I like women, and that's not something I can control."
Upon hearing the last sentence, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but gasp and subconsciously stopped in her tracks.
Standing at the entrance to the rooftop, Xiang Yuntian was equally astonished; this was something he found hard to accept as well.
Bai Mengfei paused for a moment, then, in order to save Fan Nianzhen, she had no choice but to fabricate a white lie: "Actually, I used to like women too, so I can really understand how you feel. If you don't believe me, I can tell you, I even thought about..."
At this point, Bai Mengfei couldn't continue her story, but Fan Nianzhen actually believed her.
As if she had found a kindred spirit, she turned back, gazed at Bai Mengfei, and asked softly, "Is what you're saying true?"
"Yes, of course it's true," Bai Mengfei replied affirmatively.
Fan Nianzhen turned around with some doubt, and Bai Mengfei seized the opportunity to rush forward and hug her tightly.
At the same time, Xiang Yuntian also rushed over and helped Bai Mengfei subdue Fan Nianzhen.
After successfully subduing Fan Nianzhen, the two immediately took her downstairs.
Just as she was about to get into the police car, Fan Nianzhen glared fiercely at Bai Mengfei and said through gritted teeth, "You dare to lie to me, you'll regret it."
……
As expected, Fan Nianzhen received the punishment she deserved under the law. Regardless of her status as a female principal, she could not escape her guilt.
The court pronounced its verdict: "The defendant, Fan Nianzhen, is found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to ten years in prison, and ordered to pay the victim's family 150,000 yuan in compensation for mental distress and alimony, effective immediately."
Afterwards, in the drizzling rain outside the courthouse, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian stood side by side on the steps.
Xiang Yuntian turned to Bai Mengfei and smiled, saying, "This matter is finally over, and it's all thanks to you. If it were an ordinary person, even a seasoned detective, they probably wouldn't have guessed that the murderer would be Fan Nianzhen."
Bai Mengfei nodded in affirmation, "Indeed, I didn't think of her at first. But to say it was all my credit, I dare not accept it."
Bai Mengfei modestly declined.
Xiang Yuntian knew Bai Mengfei's personality well, so he just smiled faintly.
As the two were preparing to leave for home, they saw a man and a woman arguing and struggling on the roadside. It was still raining outside, and their behavior on the roadside was particularly eye-catching.
Bai Mengfei had no interest in such trivial matters, so she turned her face to the other side.
Xiang Yuntian drove the car over there.
When Bai Mengfei noticed this, she turned around in surprise and discovered that the boy who was putting on this scene on the roadside was actually Jiang Fan.
No wonder Xiang Yuntian drove there.
After the car stopped, Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei got out one after the other to inquire about the situation.
"What happened?" Xiang Yuntian asked.
The girl's makeup was ruined, making her look quite disheveled.
Jiang Fan wasn't in much better shape either. He turned his face away, looking helpless, with his right hand slightly outstretched, as if he wanted to grab the girl.
It's obvious that Jiang Fan knows this girl.
Bai Mengfei instantly realized that the girl who sent him the last message after she touched Jiang Fan's computer must have been this girl, who complained that Jiang Fan was too timid.
Xiang Yuntian, being kind-hearted, stepped forward and asked with concern in a friendly tone, "Are you alright? Did you break up?"
"No, we're not dating yet, we're just ordinary friends," Jiang Fan replied.
What kind of places would ordinary friends go to?
Bai Mengfei didn't believe it.
At this moment, the girl turned her head and stared intently at Xiang Yuntian.
This girl was no different from Bai Mengfei's classmates; she had nothing special about her.
She was slightly overweight and not particularly pretty, especially after her makeup smudged, which made her look even less attractive.
No wonder Jiang Fan didn't like her.
Xiang Yuntian, worried that Bai Mengfei would get wet in the rain, suggested, "Let's get in the car first and talk about it later."
Knowing she couldn't dissuade her, Bai Mengfei returned to the car on her own.
Seeing that Xiang Yuntian had also gotten into the car, Jiang Fan led the girl to the back seat.
The two remained silent throughout the journey, but the girl would occasionally steal glances at Xiang Yuntian.
This kind of gaze made Bai Mengfei feel very uncomfortable.
After all, Xiang Yuntian was the man she admired, and although she never expressed it, that was an undeniable fact.
Along the way, Xiang Yuntian didn't pay attention to these things and even suggested that they go for a barbecue to warm up.
The girl named Zheng Xiuxiu next to Jiang Fan immediately agreed.
Upon arriving at the barbecue restaurant, one of her actions displeased Xiang Yuntian, Bai Mengfei, and especially Jiang Fan. She walked straight to Xiang Yuntian's side and insisted on sitting with him.
Xiang Yuntian couldn't just kick her out, so he reluctantly agreed and let her sit next to him.
This is really strange. She clearly has a special relationship with Jiang Fan, but now she's sitting next to another man.
Jiang Fan gritted his teeth silently, keeping his head down and remaining quiet.
Although he is far from being a "male god" compared to Xiang Yuntian, he is still a rare talent.
Even Zhao Fei is a loyal fan of his, so why did he choose a girlfriend like this?
To be honest, Jiang Fan was utterly perplexed by this.
I couldn't help but cry out in my heart, "God, how unfair this is!"
