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

Chapter 249 Another Assassination

Yingying pondered for a moment before standing up and deciding to leave the police station first.

However, just as she stood up, something extremely important suddenly flashed through her mind.

How should I face Xiang Yuntian and Zhang Ting when I get back?

She knew in her heart that the relationship between the two was anything but ordinary.

Even if Bai Mengfei doesn't really like Xiang Yuntian, Xiang Yuntian's feelings for Bai Mengfei are undeniable.

Standing at the entrance of the police station, she gazed at the drizzling rain outside, lost in thought for a long while with a forlorn expression, before gently blinking her eyes and slowly walking out.

Because she hadn't brought an umbrella, she had to brave the rain and walk across the street to wait for a bus. At that moment, she exuded an aura of indifference; her face was devoid of any smile, and her expression was as gloomy as the night sky.

The policewoman across the street noticed her situation, walked over with an umbrella, and said with concern, "Shall I take you home? It's so late, it's not safe for a girl like you to go home alone."

The policewoman was very considerate, but Yingying still shook her head and declined her offer.

She knew that once the policewoman took her home, she would definitely see Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian, and she didn't want to face that scene right now.

Just then, the evening bus arrived. As soon as Yingying saw the bus, she immediately stretched out her hand and waved vigorously at it, signaling the driver to bring the bus over.

After the car came to a complete stop, she got in.

On the bus at night, Yingying was all alone.

She gently rested her head against the car window, her face unconsciously revealing a lost and forlorn expression, with a faint sadness between her brows.

After returning to the countryside by car, she walked a long way.

She finally got home around 11 p.m.

In the quiet countryside, a light drizzle fell in the night, and the icy wind seeped into her clothes.

She had just reached her front door when she heard that familiar barking.

That was a dog kept by a family at the edge of the village. It often barked in the middle of the night, and the barking only made it clear how late it was.

She tiptoed back to the room and gently pushed open the door, only to find that Bai Mengfei was still awake, sitting alone on a stool in the corner, looking somewhat listless.

Yingying naturally stepped forward and asked with concern, "Zhang Ting, are you alright?"

Upon hearing Yingying's voice, Bai Mengfei slowly raised her head and looked over, her eyes red-rimmed.

Seeing this, Yingying knew without asking that Bai Mengfei must have cried, and cried for a long time.

She quickly stepped forward, squatted down in front of Bai Mengfei, looked at her gently, and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"

"No, it's just that thinking about what we're going through now makes me feel a little sad." As she spoke, Bai Mengfei naturally lowered her head.

After Yingying finished washing up, the two lay in bed, just like they had earlier the night before. Although they already knew each other, there was still a slight awkwardness between them.

Yingying would occasionally glance at Bai Mengfei lying beside her, because over the years, she had long been accustomed to living alone.

"Zhang Ting, are you still having trouble sleeping?" Yingying suddenly asked.

Bai Mengfei gave a soft "hmm" and said, "How can I sleep after such a big thing? Sigh, let me tell you, Jiang Shuai is really innocent. If I could examine Uncle Hu's body, I would definitely be able to find the real culprit."

“I know.” Yingying’s voice suddenly choked up. “But there’s nothing I can do. It’s all my fault for being incompetent. Even though Forensic Doctor Xiang taught me the methods, I still couldn’t get things done.”

As she spoke, she was filled with guilt.

Bai Mengfei quickly comforted her, "It's not your fault, it's all because that Team Leader Qu was too cunning! If it were me, I probably would have been turned away too. It's good that you came back safely, that's already a good thing."

No sooner had they finished speaking than they heard the barking of dogs coming from outside.

Bai Mengfei immediately turned her head, became extremely alert, and stared intently at the door, worried that someone might break in.

Yingying glanced at it too, then explained, "It's nothing, it's just Big Yellow barking at the village entrance! It does this all the time, I don't know what it's barking about."

After hearing Yingying's words, Bai Mengfei swallowed hard, feeling slightly relieved, and stopped thinking about those things.

However, as soon as she turned her head, she heard some noises coming from the other side of the door.

What's going on? It sounds like someone is picking the lock!

Yingying heard it too, and turned her head in astonishment, her pure eyes widening as she stared intently at Bai Mengfei, her eyes filled with undisguised panic.

Bai Mengfei quickly raised her left hand, making a "shh" gesture to her, and frowned, indicating that she should be quiet. Yingying nodded gently in response to Bai Mengfei.

Immediately afterwards, the two heard a "creak" sound, like the sound of a door opening.

Bai Mengfei frowned, staring at the bright light shining through the crack in the door, her heart pounding in her chest.

Just as Bai Mengfei was trembling with nervousness, Yingying actually took the initiative to get out of bed, seemingly wanting to check on the situation.

"Don't go!" Bai Mengfei hurriedly grabbed her hand.

Just then, the door opened, and a long shadow was cast on the ground.

Bai Mengfei stared intently at the figure, then followed the figure to the person. She saw a man standing in front of the door, wearing a dark black mask, a baseball cap, and a tracksuit, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light.

The man pulled out a knife from behind his back and slowly approached them.

Yingying screamed in fright, "Help!"

The man immediately ran over, covered her mouth, and then tried to stab her with a knife! Without thinking, Bai Mengfei reached out and grabbed the knife.

The blade cut Bai Mengfei's hand, and blood dripped down the blade.

Bai Mengfei knew that the assassin in front of her was Qu Ying, so she stared coldly into his eyes. Qu Ying also looked back at her, and their eyes met for a moment, both of them knowing the same thing.

In order to expose Qu Ying's true colors, Bai Mengfei hesitated for two seconds, then endured the pain, reached out her left hand, and ripped off the mask from his face.

In that instant, Yingying was stunned and exclaimed in surprise, "Team Leader Qu!"

Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Qu Ying immediately pulled hard and snatched the knife from Bai Mengfei's hand.

However, just as he was about to take action again, the villagers heard the shouts from before and rushed over.

The sound of gongs and drums rang out outside, and the once quiet village suddenly became noisy, which caught Qu Ying off guard.

Qu Ying dared not make any more rash moves, quickly grabbed his mask back, put it on, and hurriedly left the room.
