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

Chapter 375 Conversation

Bai Mengfei turned around and realized that it was Xiang Yuntian who had stopped her.

Xiang Yuntian's expression was solemn. He silently shook his head, his deep gaze seemingly conveying a silent message: "Don't go over there."

After all, this was a family matter, and it was undoubtedly more appropriate for them to handle it themselves. From Xiang Yuntian's eyes, Bai Mengfei understood his meaning, so she did not rush forward.

Zhu Xi stood there, choking back tears. After a while, she slowly turned her head to look at her husband, Zhen Chuan, who was standing on the stairs.

Zhen Chuan subconsciously turned his head to look at Bai Mengfei. He knew that among the people present, Bai Mengfei was the one who could communicate best with his wife. Firstly, Bai Mengfei was intelligent and sensible, and secondly, as women, they might be more able to understand each other, so he placed his hopes on Bai Mengfei.

Bai Mengfei sensed Zhen Chuan's gaze and immediately understood his intention, so she walked towards Zhu Xi.

Seeing Bai Mengfei approach, Zhu Heng was somewhat surprised, and deep down he didn't want her to get involved at this time. However, Bai Mengfei still walked up to Zhu Xi and gently comforted him, "Please don't worry too much."

At this moment, what Zhu Xi needed most were these comforting words.

She quickly turned her head, her hazy eyes reflecting Bai Mengfei's gentle yet resolute expression. As Zhen Chuan's capable wife of many years, Zhu Xi had seen countless people, and from Bai Mengfei's eyes, she sensed the other woman's sincerity and reliability.

So she waited expectantly for Bai Mengfei to make a promise.

Bai Mengfei sensed Zhu Xi's expectations and felt conflicted, unsure how to make a promise.

But after a brief moment of thought, she gave Zhu Xi a reassuring reply: "I will do my best to investigate this matter. We are here now to find out the truth."

After she finished speaking, she looked intently at Zhu Xi, hoping to convince her of her determination.

Zhu Xi looked back into Bai Mengfei's eyes, and after a moment, chose to believe her.

Considering there were so many people around, Zhu Xi felt that some things were not suitable to be discussed here, so she suggested, "Why don't you come upstairs with me? I have some questions I want to ask you. Besides, don't you need my help with something? It's not very convenient here, is it?"

Bai Mengfei immediately understood Zhu Xi's meaning and nodded quickly: "That's right."

Then, led by Zhu Xi, Bai Mengfei went upstairs to Zhu Xi and Zhen Chuan's bedroom.

Upon entering the bedroom, Zhu Xi closed the door and locked it from the inside.

Hearing the door close, Bai Mengfei, who was looking around the bedroom, turned her head and looked at Zhu Xi standing in the doorway.

Zhu Xi realized that her actions might have been a bit abrupt, so she quickly smiled and explained to Bai Mengfei, "I'm sorry, I'm a rather sensitive person and I don't like others knowing or disturbing my affairs."

"Yes, I understand." Bai Mengfei glanced at Zhu Xi, her suspicions resurfacing. Could Zhu Xi be the murderer? After all, everyone is a suspect until the real culprit is identified. "Then, Madam Zhu, would you mind if I performed a physical examination on you?"

"No problem." Zhu Xi stepped forward quickly, a hint of anticipation in her eyes. "But before that, I'd like you to introduce yourself first. You won't mind, will you?"

"Of course I don't mind. My name is Bai Mengfei, and I'm a forensic pathologist in the city's forensic department."

"Huh? A forensic doctor?" Upon hearing this identity and seeing Bai Mengfei's youthful appearance, Zhu Xi was somewhat incredulous.

She found it unbelievable that such a young girl could become a forensic doctor. When she was Bai Mengfei's age, she was still studying hard at school and was rather impulsive.

For a moment, Zhu Xi couldn't help but gasp, her eyes filled with admiration. After a moment's thought, she finally spoke, "Forensic Doctor Zhang."

Bai Mengfei responded frankly, "Yes, Madam Zhu, may we begin the examination now?" After saying that, she tried to approach Zhu Xi. At this moment, she only wanted to complete the examination as soon as possible so as to advance the next investigation.

However, Zhu Xi suddenly raised her right hand and exclaimed in surprise, "Wait a minute!"

Bai Mengfei stopped in her tracks, her brows furrowed slightly, and looked at Zhu Xi with a puzzled expression.

She really didn't understand why Zhu Xi suddenly stopped her.

So, she looked at Zhu Xi with a puzzled expression and asked softly, "Madam Zhu, is there anything else?"

Zhu Xi pondered for a moment and said, "I'd like to know more about my son's situation first. How much do you know about his kidnapping?"

“I know quite a bit. I was friends with him before he was kidnapped.” Bai Mengfei paused here, wondering whether she should tell Zhu Xi the whole truth. After all, as Zhen Liang’s mother, Zhu Xi had the right to know some things.

Seeing Zhu Xi looking at her expectantly, Bai Mengfei continued, "What we can confirm at the moment is that Zhen Liang is not in immediate danger. This is because the criminals are likely after money, and Mr. Zhen is willing to pay the ransom to get Zhen Liang back."

Upon hearing this news, Zhu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't help asking, "Did the thugs say when or where to pay the money? I want to get my son back as soon as possible."

After saying that, Zhu Xi suddenly moved closer and grabbed Bai Mengfei's hands.

Bai Mengfei was startled by her sudden action. After regaining her senses, she looked at Zhu Xi's hand and said, "We don't know yet, because we don't know what other tricks the criminals might use. However, I speculate that this matter may be related to your son's ex-girlfriend."

"My son's ex-girlfriend?" Zhu Xi's expression darkened. After a moment's thought, "Could it be that girl named Ming Jing?"

"You know Mingjing?" Bai Mengfei was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Zhu Xi knew about her son's relationship.

Zhu Xi sighed helplessly, nodded slightly, and admitted, "Yes, I know. My son and that girl used to be very close, but I didn't approve of them being together. Because my son is still in school, you understand?"

“I understand.” Bai Mengfei nodded as if she understood. “So I suspect this matter may be related to your son’s breakup. Because not long ago, Mingjing was also brutally murdered in the woods.”
