Chapter 307 Tracking
Although he kept his head down, trying to hide his thoughts by concealing his facial expressions, he could not escape Xiang Yuntian's keen eyes.
Because a person's thoughts are not only revealed in their expression, but also in some unintentional little actions.
Xiang Yuntian scrutinized him again, then smiled and asked, "Old Chen, you seem very nervous. What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for us to leave?"
"Huh? Why are you asking that?" Old Chen suddenly raised his head, staring intently at Xiang Yuntian. Perhaps he thought this would cover up the flaw he had inadvertently revealed earlier?
Seeing that he seemed very interested in what he was saying, Xiang Yuntian directly exposed him: "Because your fingers were intertwined, and you even tightened them again without realizing it."
"It's cold, that's why I'm like this!" Old Chen quickly explained.
Just as Xiang Yuntian was about to press further, Bai Mengfei, knowing the principle of "forgive and forget," stepped in to help Old Chen out of the predicament, saying, "Forensic Doctor Xiang, didn't you say you were going to treat me to dinner? It's getting late, let's go!"
Although Bai Mengfei did not explicitly agree to let Xiang Yuntian treat her, Xiang Yuntian was immediately overjoyed upon hearing her say that. He hurriedly said goodbye to Old Chen, then rushed over to open the car door for Bai Mengfei and waited for her to get in.
After getting into the car, Bai Mengfei explained to Xiang Yuntian, "Actually, it's better not to expose some things."
Hearing this, Xiang Yuntian was touched and nodded slightly, pretending to understand.
Seeing that Xiang Yuntian had understood her meaning, Bai Mengfei said no more.
When the two arrived at the restaurant, Bai Mengfei was still intently pondering the case. On the surface, she appeared calm and composed amidst the crowd, but in reality, each tap of her finger on the table represented a moment of deep thought.
Only Xiang Yuntian, who was sitting opposite her, understood what she was thinking, but he only knew it in his heart and did not say it out loud.
"Have you made up your mind? The food's getting cold," Xiang Yuntian reminded him.
Upon hearing Xiang Yuntian's words, Bai Mengfei finally snapped out of her daze and looked up at him.
She smiled slightly at Xiang Yuntian, shook her head gently, and said with a look of denial, "No, cases aren't that easy to solve."
"You know that's good. It's not that simple, so there's no need to rush, right?" Xiang Yuntian said.
After listening, Bai Mengfei suddenly felt that what he said made sense, so she nodded slightly to indicate her agreement, and then stopped talking.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, let's eat first. Even though we work with our brains, we need to be well-fed to have the energy to think, right?"
Bai Mengfei felt that Xiang Yuntian's words made sense, so she temporarily put aside all her thoughts and focused on eating.
But halfway through her meal, she noticed something suspicious about a man next to her. To be precise, it was the man's socks that caught her attention. The stripes on his socks looked very familiar to her.
Bai Mengfei appeared to glance at it only briefly, but after that glance, the pattern of the socks flashed through her mind incredibly quickly. In fact, the pattern of the socks was being compared with something in her memory.
After comparing them, she was surprised to find that she seemed to have seen these socks in her own home.
"Oh my God!" she exclaimed inwardly.
Xiang Yuntian asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
She quickly shook her head and continued to focus on eating the noodles in her bowl.
After the man left, Bai Mengfei immediately put down her chopsticks, stood up, and prepared to follow. Seeing Bai Mengfei's sudden action, Xiang Yuntian didn't dare to delay and hurriedly got up to follow as well.
"Where are you going?" Xiang Yuntian asked.
Bai Mengfei didn't answer, but rushed out to catch up with the man.
Xiang Yuntian naturally wouldn't let Bai Mengfei take the risk alone, so he hurriedly followed behind, not even bothering to drive the car.
The two followed closely behind the man, who seemed to have noticed they were being followed.
Xiang Yuntian became extremely cautious and said to Bai Mengfei, "Be careful, that man doesn't seem simple."
"Yes, I know." Bai Mengfei nodded and said solemnly, "If anything happens, you run first and don't worry about me."
Xiang Yuntian is not the kind of person who would abandon Bai Mengfei.
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, he immediately frowned, feeling somewhat displeased, but he did not show it.
The two hurriedly followed the man, unexpectedly ending up at an ironworks. The man entered the factory and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
The workers who were working immediately raised their weapons, including wrenches and steel bars, as soon as they saw Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian walk in. They turned around and looked fierce.
Sensing the other party's hostility, Xiang Yuntian immediately stepped forward, showed his identification, and said, "We are forensic doctors."
But the situation at this moment is like a scholar encountering a soldier; even if one is right, one cannot reason with him.
The workers did not stop; instead, they gripped their weapons and approached step by step.
Xiang Yuntian could only protect Bai Mengfei, retreating step by step.
Just as the two men were about to reach the door, two burly men suddenly rushed over and slammed the iron gate shut. With a loud crash, they realized what had happened, turned around, and saw that the door was already closed.
"What should we do?" Bai Mengfei asked in surprise.
Xiang Yuntian took a deep breath, shook his head slightly, and frowned deeply.
Surrounded by so many burly men, all he could do was try his best to protect Bai Mengfei behind him and say to her, "Don't be afraid."
"I'm not afraid," Bai Mengfei said calmly.
Xiang Yuntian grunted in agreement, then looked up at the men and said, "If you want to fight, come at me. Don't bully the girls."
Upon hearing Xiang Yuntian's words, the burly men moved even closer.
Bai Mengfei hurriedly stepped out from behind Xiang Yuntian, looked at the group, and said, "You dare to assault a civil servant? Do you know how many years you'll be sentenced to?"
Hearing Bai Mengfei say this, the workers regained some of their senses, looked at each other, and stopped in their tracks.
"If you know what's good for you, let us out," Bai Mengfei said, glancing at them. "Otherwise, fight me one-on-one."
As soon as he finished speaking, the muscular workers burst into laughter.
"What? Are you scared?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Xiang Yuntian quietly tugged at her arm from behind, but she pulled hard and broke free.
