Chapter 254 Plan
She sat there until dawn before finally calming her chaotic thoughts and lying down to rest.
Alone in her room, her heart was as dark and chilling as ink. She was filled with confusion about the future, and looking back on her past experiences, it all seemed like a dream.
She knew in her heart that without Xiang Yuntian's companionship and support, she probably wouldn't have been able to persevere until now.
Fortunately, she was able to sense that Xiang Yuntian was in the house, which allowed her to fall asleep peacefully.
In her dream, she saw Xiang Yuntian, and even dreamed that she cornered him against a wall.
Perhaps she is her truest self in her dreams, and the scenes in her dreams are exactly what she longs to do deep down?
Despite her seemingly fragile appearance, she is still the same aloof and strong-willed woman from her past life! At least, her inner strength remains undiminished, and no amount of pressure can break her.
The night passed, and the next morning, under the sunlight, Xiang Yuntian slowly opened his eyes and got out of bed. He rolled over, but unexpectedly fell straight off the sofa.
Fortunately, there was a soft mat on the floor, so it didn't make too much noise.
After he got up, he was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had slept on the sofa all night.
Turning to look out the window, he saw that it was already bright. He worried that Bai Mengfei had already left, or that everything yesterday was just an illusion. So he hurriedly ran to Bai Mengfei's bedroom and pushed open the door without thinking.
His movements were so violent that they woke Bai Mengfei from her sleep!
Seeing Xiang Yuntian rush in so urgently, Bai Mengfei instinctively sat up, pulled the blanket tighter, and asked, "What happened?"
"I...I'm fine. I thought you had already left!" As he spoke, Xiang Yuntian scratched his temple with his right hand, his face full of embarrassment.
Bai Mengfei actually found his nervous appearance somewhat amusing, but she held back in the end and said seriously, "You can go out now, I won't leave."
"Okay, sure!" He tiptoed out and closed the door behind him.
Startled by Xiang Yuntian's words, Bai Mengfei was fully awake, and therefore remembered the contents of her dream from last night with exceptional clarity.
She then realized how much she longed to be with Xiang Yuntian and how much she needed his company.
After taking a deep breath, she got up and slowly walked out of the room.
Upon seeing Xiang Yuntian, she immediately changed the subject and asked, "Regarding Qu Ying's case, what should we do next? Do you have any plans?"
Xiang Yuntian quickly told her everything he had done yesterday.
After listening, Bai Mengfei looked at Xiang Yuntian with new respect, never expecting him to be so brave!
"Really? You really did that?" Bai Mengfei was still somewhat incredulous.
Xiang Yuntian nodded quickly and affirmed, saying, "It's absolutely true. I was worried they would harm you, so I went directly to the police station to ask them to release you. Who knew you weren't arrested, so I came here to find you. Actually, the reason I had so much courage is because of you, do you understand?"
"Because of me?" Bai Mengfei was flattered and lowered her head shyly.
Xiang Yuntian usually seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, but at this moment he couldn't guess what Bai Mengfei was thinking, so he moved closer and said firmly, "You are really important to me!"
"Even though I look different now than before, you don't mind?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Xiang Yuntian nodded without hesitation and said, "I don't mind. As long as I know it's you, that's enough!"
Bai Mengfei looked away again, pondered for a moment, and said, "What if I leave one day and this body is returned to its original owner? Have you ever thought that it would be very irresponsible of me to use someone else's body to have a relationship with you? Do you understand?"
"At worst, I won't do anything too intimate with you!" Xiang Yuntian actually made this decision.
"Huh?" Bai Mengfei was taken aback, thinking to herself, what kind of romance is this?
Xiang Yuntian remained steadfast and said, "We just need to hold hands and hug, that's enough! Please accept my advances, okay?"
He knew that Bai Mengfei was not a materialistic person; as long as one treated someone sincerely, there was no need for things like rings or flowers.
Bai Mengfei was indeed that kind of person, but at this moment she was still weighing the pros and cons, feeling that this was not quite right. However, she could not make a decision immediately, so she could only remain silent.
Seeing Bai Mengfei's hesitation, Xiang Yuntian said, "How about we become very good friends first? That should be alright, right?"
"Even if I don't like you, even if I'm just using you, would you still be willing?" Bai Mengfei asked tentatively.
Xiang Yuntian nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, I'm willing, because I know your character. If I'm wrong, I'm willing to bear the consequences."
Now that things have come to this, how else could Bai Mengfei refuse him? After all, they were colleagues; she couldn't keep treating him with indifference, could she?
“Alright, but we’re both carrying criminal charges right now, so we need to figure out a solution to that dismemberment case first. As for our personal relationship, I think we can deal with that later,” Bai Mengfei said rationally.
Xiang Yuntian turned his head, thought about it seriously for a while, and then bravely made a decision: "I'll call my parents right now and ask them to hire the best lawyers and go through legal procedures to report Qu Ying first."
“Reporting a team leader without any evidence is not easy and is hard to convince people,” Bai Mengfei analyzed.
Xiang Yuntian suddenly became excited and said with a smile, "How could there be no evidence? We have it! Isn't Yinhua the best witness? Those corpses are the best physical evidence! As long as we find the murder weapon, then his crime of murder can be established!"
Although Xiang Yuntian's explanation was logical, Bai Mengfei still felt something was amiss and retorted, "But he's a policeman, and a cunning one at that. He would definitely try his best to cover up clues when committing the crime. Finding the murder weapon is no easy task."
“The net of heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it. He has done so many bad things, I believe there must be some clues left behind. No matter how meticulous he is, it will be of no use,” Xiang Yuntian firmly believed.
Seeing his confidence, Bai Mengfei decided to support him, saying, "Alright then, let's try it as you say! Anyway, we've been driven to a dead end by him because of our involvement in this case, it's time to fight back!"
Hearing that Bai Mengfei had finally supported him, Xiang Yuntian breathed a sigh of relief and laughed heartily.
He then immediately took out his phone and called his parents.
After he had arranged everything, Bai Mengfei suggested, "The most important thing right now is to find a way to rescue Commander Jiang! So let's start with Commander Jiang and get Qu Ying to hand him over first."
