Chapter 346 Complaints
He quickly walked around the desk, stepped forward, and said with a smile, "Please sit down!"
"Thank you, Director Zhu." Under Zhu Heng's guidance, Xiang Yuntian sat down in the chair, and then Zhu Heng sat down next to him, very close to him.
In order to protect Zhen Liang, Zhu Heng tried to find a breakthrough through Xiang Yuntian, so he started to get close to him, saying, "Forensic Doctor Xiang, you are really young and promising!"
"Not at all, it's all thanks to Director Zhu and all the leaders for their kindness," Xiang Yuntian replied modestly, as was his habit.
Zhu Heng pondered for a moment before carefully getting to the point, asking, "The forensic doctor Zhang Ting who came with you, she must be your student, right?"
"This..." Xiang Yuntian pondered inwardly, thinking about how to answer. "No, when I met her, she was already very knowledgeable. Moreover, in our subsequent collaborations, her work results showed that she was actually a more outstanding talent than me."
"Oh, I see!" Zhu Heng was immediately somewhat disappointed.
He had originally intended to try to persuade Xiang Yuntian to let Zhang Ting make an exception for Zhen Liang.
Who would have thought that Xiang Yuntian couldn't actually control Zhang Ting? Because few people know that Zhang Ting wasn't just not Xiang Yuntian's student, but rather his former teacher!
Of course, few people would believe it if you told them, since Zhang Ting looks only 18 years old now.
After a moment of silence, Xiang Yuntian spoke up, "Actually, Chief Zhu, I've come here today to ask you for a favor. I hope your police station can cooperate with our investigation as much as possible and not create any obstacles. I think it's necessary to talk to you about this so that the investigation can proceed more smoothly."
This appears to be a request, but it actually carries a hint of reproach towards Zhu Heng for protecting Zhen Liang earlier; it's just a more tactful way of putting it.
Zhu Heng was a smart man and naturally understood the implied meaning, so he remained silent.
Xiang Yuntian pressed his tongue against the inside of his cheek, pondered for a moment, and then continued, "Would Director Zhu agree?"
"It should be fine!" Zhu Heng forced a smile, a smile that seemed very strained. "I'll instruct my men to provide you with as much assistance as possible. We're all trying to find the culprit behind this; our goals are the same, aren't we?"
"Yes."
While Xiang Yuntian was trying to persuade Zhu Heng, Bai Mengfei was also doing her best to persuade Zhen Liang.
There will inevitably be a generation gap between young people and their elders, so it is understandable that Zhen Liang's parents do not understand how deeply this incident has hurt him.
Bai Mengfei, however, could understand Zhen Liang's feelings very well, and was even more worried that he would develop a rebellious mentality because of it.
So Bai Mengfei invited him out for milk tea because she wanted to comfort him and also hoped to get more clues from him.
"Zhen Liang, you really shouldn't take those things to heart."
"No, Forensic Doctor Zhang. It's just that they don't understand me, and that makes me very upset." Zhen Liang lowered his head, his hands tightly gripping the milk tea cup in front of him. "Okay, it's very upsetting. My father is coming back tomorrow. My uncle just told me, and he also sent me a message himself."
"What did he say to you? Did he tell you to study hard?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Zhen Liang slowly shook his head and said, "No, he asked me to accompany him to a dinner party so he could introduce me to a girl. You know, the kind of girl who's a good match for me."
In the end, Zhen Liang smiled wryly.
In this day and age, how could such an arranged marriage still exist? Bai Mengfei found it hard to understand Zhen Liang's father's thoughts.
Therefore, Bai Mengfei supported his decision not to go!
Zhen Liang himself didn't really want to go. He only wanted to stay and find out the truth of the case so that he could get justice for Ming Jing.
The two chatted for a full hour before preparing to leave.
Just as Bai Mengfei got up, she heard a buzzing sound in her pocket. She glanced at her phone and knew it was Xiang Yuntian calling, so she answered without hesitation.
"Hey, what's wrong?" she asked softly.
Xiang Yuntian was so happy that he answered somewhat smugly, "I missed you."
Bai Mengfei chuckled softly and said, "Seriously, what exactly happened?"
"I've convinced Director Zhu, and he's agreed to fully cooperate with our investigation of this case," Xiang Yuntian said excitedly.
Bai Mengfei paused slightly, then turned to look at Zhen Liang standing beside her. She stared at Zhen Liang for a moment before saying to Xiang Yuntian on the other end of the phone, "That's definitely a good thing!"
"There's even better news!"
"What is it?"
"Director Zhu has agreed not to let Gu Ling follow us anymore. Without him, I believe our investigation will proceed more smoothly, don't you think?" Xiang Yuntian asked.
Bai Mengfei, however, didn't think so. She believed that the innocent would clear themselves, and that Gu Ling was an experienced person who had his strengths. So she fell silent and thought for a few seconds.
Xiang Yuntian sensed that Bai Mengfei seemed unhappy, so he asked, "What's wrong? You seem a little unhappy. From now on, no one will be watching us or looking at us like we're thieves. Isn't that a good thing?"
"No, that's definitely a good thing." Bai Mengfei breathed a deep sigh of relief, her breath turning into white mist because of the cold weather. "But keeping Gu Ling around has its advantages. He can not only serve as corroborating evidence, but also help us handle many trivial matters. Everything has two sides. Since Director Zhu has already agreed, let's leave it at that for now and let nature take its course."
"Okay!" From Xiang Yuntian's voice, Bai Mengfei could tell he was walking quickly across the tiled floor. "By the way, where are you now? I've searched the entire police station but haven't found you. I just asked Gu Ling, and he said he hadn't seen you either."
Bai Mengfei thought for a moment, then said, "We went out for milk tea at a shop near the police station, it's not far. We'll go back now, you wait for me at the police station."
"You guys are drinking milk tea?" Xiang Yuntian's short five-word question clearly carried a suppressed jealousy.
Bai Mengfei was afraid that Xiang Yuntian would misunderstand, so she quickly explained, "I was the one who invited him, because there are some things I think he needs to understand."
Hearing Bai Mengfei say that, Xiang Yuntian breathed a sigh of relief, said "Oh," and smiled, "I thought so too!"
