A forensic doctor is reborn, sir, please don't bully me!

Chapter 368 Rooftop

His last sentence was so persuasive that Xiang Yuntian was speechless for a moment.

As dusk fell and the two were on their way back, Bai Mengfei noticed that Xiang Yuntian seemed downcast in the car, so she asked with concern, "Why do you look so unhappy?"

Xiang Yuntian sighed, "I miss our old place a little."

"The original place? But this place and that place are both in the same city!" Bai Mengfei said in confusion.

Xiang Yuntian sighed softly, then explained, "But the environment here is different, the people we work with are different, and the cases we handle are different from before."

"You don't miss Captain Zhao, do you?" Bai Mengfei couldn't help but laugh after saying that.

"What? Don't talk nonsense, how could I possibly miss that old geezer!"

The two continued chatting and joking as they drove toward the intersection.

Xiang Yuntian saw that the traffic light on the other side was green and prepared to drive through, but he didn't expect that several cars on the other side would run a red light. A large truck suddenly rushed out and crashed into their car.

With a loud bang, the car window shattered instantly, shards flying everywhere, some even hitting Bai Mengfei's cheeks directly.

Bai Mengfei quickly turned her face to the side, her cheek was cut by the glass, but in the blink of an eye, the wound healed automatically.

Xiang Yuntian wasn't so lucky; his hand was cut by glass, and his head slammed hard against the car window next to him.

In an instant, the steering wheel went out of control, and the entire car crashed into the roadside flowerbed at high speed.

Another loud crash, and the car finally came to a stop. However, the large truck continued to rush over at high speed and crashed into their car again.

Bai Mengfei immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly pushed open the car door on Xiang Yuntian's side, trying to force him out of the car. Unfortunately, Xiang Yuntian was stuck in the deformed seat and couldn't move at all.

"You run, don't worry about me!" Xiang Yuntian stared out the car window, sweat pouring down his face with nervousness.

Bai Mengfei remained calm and struggled to pull her leg out, even as the car continued to be hit. After being struck several times, the truck driver, seeing the growing crowd, drove away from the scene.

The entire process took less than five minutes; the truck driver escaped extremely quickly. Furthermore, the vehicle's license plate was obscured, making it impossible to obtain the license plate number.

More than ten minutes later, the police arrived at the scene and helped Bai Mengfei rescue Xiang Yuntian.

At 8:30 p.m., Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian were both at the hospital.

Xiang Yuntian was bandaging his wound in the ward, while Bai Mengfei sat alone on a chair in the corridor outside, waiting quietly. Zhu Heng also rushed to the hospital after finishing his work.

Seeing Bai Mengfei sitting there alone with a forlorn expression, Zhu Heng hurriedly went over and sat down beside her.

Bai Mengfei subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Zhu Heng before lowering her head again. Seeing Bai Mengfei so dejected, Zhu Heng gently put his hand on her shoulder and comforted her, "Forensic Doctor Xiang is fine now, so don't worry too much."

"I know," Bai Mengfei said softly, "Just because things are fine now doesn't mean they'll be fine in the future, right?"

After speaking, Bai Mengfei turned to look at Zhu Heng.

Zhu Heng frowned slightly and remained silent for a long time before asking, "So you're planning to give up? Not continue investigating this case?"

"No!" Bai Mengfei shook her head slightly, answering a different question. "Has the driver who caused the accident been caught? He hit us once, and then hit us several more times."

Zhu Heng nodded and said, "That's right, I've checked the street surveillance footage. This wasn't an accident, but a premeditated murder. Unfortunately, we don't have a single clue right now. I was investigating this matter before I even arrived."

"Oh." Even without Zhu Heng saying it, Bai Mengfei had already guessed it.

When Xiang Yuntian finished treating his wounds and came out, Bai Mengfei and Zhu Heng went to greet him together.

"Forensic Doctor Xiang, how are you feeling?" Zhu Heng asked.

Xiang Yuntian looked at Bai Mengfei and said in a deep voice, "It's good that Cheng Xiao is alright."

Bai Mengfei quickly said, "I'm really fine." As she spoke, she walked to Xiang Yuntian's side and said with some guilt, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have disobeyed you."

"Don't say that." Xiang Yuntian didn't want to see Bai Mengfei blame herself. "Look, I'm fine now, aren't I?"

After saying that, Xiang Yuntian even revealed a faint smile.

Bai Mengfei, however, always felt that it was her fault that Xiang Yuntian had been involved. She said, "Actually, I know in my heart that the murderer's target was me, because I betrayed him and lured him out. Besides feeling sorry for you, I feel even more sorry for Xiaodong. Because Xiaoyun might have to bear the consequences for my broken promise."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Mengfei felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She immediately took it out and saw that long, strange phone number again.

She answered the phone without hesitation.

Before she could even speak, a deep, hoarse voice, like a ghost, came from the other end of the phone: "You still know you betrayed me, and you still want someone else to take the consequences for you."

What happened? Did the murderer hear what I just said?

Bai Mengfei panicked and hurriedly looked around, but she didn't see anyone suspicious in the corridor, only a caregiver busy at work.

Seeing Bai Mengfei's actions, Xiang Yuntian and Zhu Heng immediately realized that the murderer was likely nearby.

So they followed Bai Mengfei's gaze and looked around, trying to see if there were any suspicious people nearby. But apart from the elderly caregiver who was cleaning, they didn't find anything suspicious, not even a security camera.

In order to buy more time to find the murderer hiding among her, Bai Mengfei asked, "Is there anything I can do to make amends?"

"Do you want to repent?" the murderer asked.

Bai Mengfei nodded and said affirmatively, "Yes, then are you willing to give me this opportunity?"

"Okay, come to the rooftop. I'll wait for you here. Come alone." After saying that, the murderer hung up the phone, and Bai Mengfei could only hear the dial tone.

She hung up the phone and then said to Zhu Heng and Xiang Yuntian beside her, "I'm going to the rooftop alone now."

After saying that, she walked towards the end of the corridor.

Xiang Yuntian hurriedly followed, wanting to go with her.

She suddenly stopped and turned to look at Xiang Yuntian. At this moment, the two were already more than ten meters apart.

In truth, she knew in her heart that going to the rooftop this time was likely to be fraught with danger.

But she still told Xiang Yuntian, "I'll be fine, don't worry."

Xiang Yuntian understood her personality and knew she was stubborn, so he smiled and said, "I know you'll be fine, but one more person means one more source of strength, right?"
