HCB Chapter 225 Danger
Chapter 225 Danger
Bai Mengfei was not so naive; she still firmly believed in her inner intuition.
She held Wang Tian's hand tightly, perhaps a little too forcefully.
Wang Tian felt the pain, turned around and looked at her, saying, "You're hurting me so much."
"Don't go." At this moment, Wang Tian and the others were unaware that Bai Mengfei's heart was pounding with anxiety.
Bai Mengfei took a deep breath, but her breath was still trembling slightly.
Meanwhile, Qu Ying, standing outside the door, concealed a knife in his hand. Though his voice sounded gentle, a fierce killing intent flashed in his eyes.
After a while, Bai Mengfei finally mustered up her courage and raised her voice, saying, "Team Leader Qu, we're both a little tired and want to rest for a bit."
"Aren't you all planning to eat?" Qu Ying smirked and said, "Come out and eat! After we eat, I'll show you around, and you can help me investigate this case."
Wang Tian believed it to be true, broke free from Bai Mengfei's hand, and walked towards the door.
"No..." Bai Mengfei had barely uttered a word when Wang Tian had already walked to the door and opened it for Qu Ying.
Just as Qu Ying was about to make his move, the lobby manager happened to be patrolling nearby, and smiled and nodded slightly at Qu Ying.
Left with no other choice, Qu Ying could only politely return the smile while secretly hiding the knife.
At this critical moment, Wang Tian came out and happily called out, "Team Leader Qu."
Qu Ying immediately turned to look at her, a rare smile on his face, and said, "Officer Wang, shall we go have dinner together?" After saying that, Qu Ying's gaze kept wandering into the room, seemingly looking at Bai Mengfei.
When Bai Mengfei saw him looking over, she could only manage a forced smile. In truth, at that moment, Bai Mengfei was extremely flustered.
Just as Bai Mengfei was struggling with her inner turmoil, Qu Ying suddenly reached out and grabbed Wang Tian's hand. This unexpected action startled Wang Tian, and she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
Qu Ying said nonchalantly, "Let's go eat."
Seeing how genuine the smile on Qu Ying's face was, Wang Tian nodded slightly and followed him.
As she was leaving, she turned back to Bai Mengfei and asked, "Do you want to come along?"
Bai Mengfei thought it wouldn't be safe for Wang Tian to go with Qu Ying alone, so she nodded gently, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, then I'll go with you."
After saying that, Bai Mengfei quickened her pace and caught up with Wang Tian and Qu Ying.
After the three of them went outside, Qu Ying walked towards the parking lot.
At this moment, he was plotting to find a secluded place and eliminate both of them. However, Bai Mengfei and Wang Tian were completely unaware of this.
Looking at Qu Ying's back, everything seemed normal.
Qu Ying opened the car door and said to the two ladies in a very gentlemanly manner, "Ladies, please get in the car?"
“Okay.” Wang Tian was completely unsuspecting.
Bai Mengfei, however, remained rooted to the spot. Knowing she couldn't stop Wang Tian, she didn't reach out to stop him. She looked at Qu Ying from afar, her eyes filled not with fear, but with utter disbelief.
Qu Ying looked back at her with a questioning gaze, and after a while, asked, "Aren't you getting on the bus?"
"Fine, I'll get in the car." Bai Mengfei's tone was full of reluctance.
But she had no choice; she felt powerless to do as she was told, because if she didn't go, Wang Tian might be in danger.
And so, the two got into Qu Ying's car and sat in the back seat.
After the car started moving on the road, Qu Ying finally asked the two men, "By the way, has forensic doctor Xiang been found?"
Hearing his meaningful question, Wang Tian no longer doubted him and said, "We haven't found Forensic Doctor Xiang yet, and we don't know where he went. I'm really worried that something might have happened to him."
Actually, Xiang Yuntian wasn't dead; he had just suffered a severe head injury and was in a dazed state. He was locked in a dark warehouse, the door tightly shut. He stumbled around inside, constantly calling out if anyone was there.
As for what happened before, he suffered from intermittent amnesia and couldn't remember anything.
"Is anyone there? I need water, please give me some!"
His lips were chapped and he had been locked up for a day and a night without a drop of water. He was also bleeding heavily and desperately needed to replenish his fluids.
In fact, Qu Ying had the opportunity to kill Xiang Yuntian last night, but why didn't he do it?
Because Xiang Yuntian was, after all, a civil servant, Qu Ying knew how serious the crime of murdering a civil servant was. If he really killed Xiang Yuntian, he simply couldn't bear the consequences.
As for the two people who were brutally dismembered, was he the one who killed them?
Why did he do that?
None of this is known.
And this is exactly the question that Bai Mengfei, sitting in the back seat, most wants to figure out right now!
Bai Mengfei sat in the back seat next to Wang Tian, but her eyes remained coldly fixed on Qu Ying, who was driving in front.
She did not relax her vigilance towards Qu Ying at all; on the contrary, she became even more wary.
Watching Qu Ying's retreating figure, a thought flashed through her mind: she really wanted to pounce on him, grab him by the neck, and confront him. But she knew very well that she was just a girl, and she knew how much patience she had.
Two girls fighting a well-trained man will definitely be at a disadvantage!
Therefore, she had to be patient and suppress her impulse for the time being. She silently told herself, "A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan!"
But after a while, she started to panic!
Because Qu Ying drove around in circles, he ended up on a rather dimly lit road.
"Team Leader Qu, this isn't the way to dinner, is it?" Bai Mengfei finally couldn't help but question.
Qu Ying immediately smiled and said, "That's right, Zhang Ting, you have a really good eye! Young people do have good eyes! I just think food outside isn't very hygienic, so I wanted to take you two to my house. I'll cook for you myself and let you try my cooking. What do you think?"
Wang Tian immediately replied, "Okay, okay!"
Bai Mengfei immediately turned her head and glared at her coldly.
Her gaze carried the authority of a forensic doctor from her past life; due to her strong inner strength, this deep and cold gaze was extremely intimidating.
Wang Tian lowered her head under that gaze.
