Chapter 169 Difficulties
"What? Just colleagues?"
Xiang Yuntian frowned, his emotions suddenly becoming agitated: "Bai Mengfei, can you really forget all the things we went through together in the past?"
"What's wrong with you? What are you thinking? Just tell me, don't keep it all bottled up inside, okay? Even if I did something wrong, just tell me, and I'll definitely change if I can."
“This isn’t your problem. You know what? I could leave at any time.”
However, Xiang Yuntian didn't react for a moment and asked again, "Leave? Where are you going?"
"I'm not talking about an ordinary departure, but rather that I could disappear without a trace at any moment. Do you understand? Stop clinging to this, okay? You know, my life was a gift from heaven," Bai Mengfei explained emotionally.
Xiang Yuntian suddenly realized, but it was as if he had instantly fallen into an endless abyss.
At that moment, the whole world seemed incredibly distant to him.
He realized that no matter how much he possessed, it all seemed so insignificant in the face of fate.
Bai Mengfei sighed helplessly, turned her face away, and refused to say anything more.
Xiang Yuntian stood quietly with her for a long time.
Neither of them spoke, but their eyes reflected each other's figures, and their hearts were only concerned with the other.
Even though we were so close, I wanted to reach out and touch her, but I didn't dare.
"Alright, you can go now." After a long silence, Bai Mengfei finally said, "We still need to investigate the case and find out the truth, don't we?"
"No... your situation is the most important. All other cases can go away. I don't want to think about those anymore; I'm only worried about your condition. Don't you understand?" Xiang Yuntian said emotionally.
He had never been so out of control before, and the pain on his face was utterly genuine.
"Don't be too sad, try to be rational. We are forensic pathologists..."
This time, before Bai Mengfei could finish speaking, Xiang Yuntian, like a sulking child, said excitedly and childishly, "I'd rather not be a forensic doctor anymore, just please don't make me give up on you, okay?"
His eyes were full of pleading.
Bai Mengfei knew he wouldn't listen to anything she said at this moment, so she suppressed her inner pain and pushed him away, saying, "Alright, you can go out now. I need to rest."
"Don't be like this, listen to me. Actually, God brought you back to give us a chance, Bai Mengfei."
Before Xiang Yuntian could finish speaking, Bai Mengfei pushed him out the door and then resolutely closed it.
Hearing a loud bang, Xiang Yuntian stared blankly at the door, his eyes filled with sadness.
All the words I wanted to say were stuck in my throat, unable to be uttered.
In reality, after Bai Mengfei closed the door, she leaned against it, feeling equally distressed.
She tried to hold back, but in the end she couldn't, and tears slowly slid down her cheeks.
She raised her hand, trying again and again to wipe away the tears on her face, but she couldn't wipe them away no matter what she did.
"I'm sorry," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion.
That night, Xiang Yuntian stood outside the door for the entire night, while Bai Mengfei cried inside the house all night.
She thought to herself that it would be best to return to the place Zhao Fei had arranged, so that she could avoid Xiang Yuntian and prevent the two of them from getting entangled again in the future.
Around 4 a.m. the next day, with red and swollen eyes, she packed her bags and prepared to leave.
But as soon as she opened the door, she saw Xiang Yuntian sitting calmly on the sofa, drinking plain water continuously.
He said nothing and didn't notice that Bai Mengfei had already picked up her luggage and was about to leave. He seemed to have lost his soul.
Bai Mengfei hesitated at the door for a while before finally making up her mind, dragging her luggage to leave.
Just then, Xiang Yuntian suddenly turned his head to look at her.
Bai Mengfei was startled and subconsciously stopped in her tracks, taking a deep breath.
"You've decided to leave, haven't you? Going back to Captain Zhao's place, right?" Xiang Yuntian's voice was unusually calm, with a hint of dryness in it.
Bai Mengfei hesitated for a while before gently humming in agreement and nodding.
Xiang Yuntian smiled slightly, then turned his face away, pretending not to see it.
Bai Mengfei, filled with curiosity, walked to his side and asked, "Aren't you going to stop me?"
"I've thought about it all night and I've figured it out. If your heart isn't with me, even if I tie you up with ropes, I can't keep you. So if you want to leave, then leave. If you need anything, come find me anytime," Xiang Yuntian said in a deep voice.
Bai Mengfei hummed in agreement again, and then actually dragged her luggage toward the door.
As she reached the door, she couldn't help but stop and look back at the house.
After living together for so long, even though she didn't have any special feelings for Xiang Yuntian before, they had gone through so many ups and downs together, and their feelings for each other had become deep and real without her realizing it.
But now that we're leaving, what's the point of thinking about these things?
So she steeled herself and resolutely walked outside.
After leaving, she dragged her luggage alone along the long street.
At this moment, she was in a daze, her thoughts in complete disarray.
She was conflicted, wondering if it was too late to go back now. After all, people are always full of contradictions.
However, just as she decided to go back and discuss things with Xiang Yuntian, a taxi happened to drive by.
Is this God's will?
With that thought in mind, she got into the car.
Xiang Yuntian chased after him, but when he got outside, he only saw empty streets.
He ultimately missed his chance.
The next day, the two met again at work.
Zhao Fei convened an emergency meeting to discuss the events of the previous day and announced that Lao Gui might not be dead, hoping everyone would offer their opinions.
But the police officers involved in the case couldn't come up with any good solutions.
This case has been followed for so long that everyone knows Old Ghost is extremely cunning, so no one dares to express their opinions easily.
Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian, having not slept all night, were in poor condition and in a terrible mood, so they also remained silent.
Seeing this, Zhao Fei frowned and asked somewhat excitedly, "Don't you have any better ideas?"
"I...I have it." A small hand timidly rose, and everyone's eyes turned to it. The person who raised their hand was none other than Wang Tian.
Zhao Fei initially didn't trust Wang Tian, the young policewoman who had just been transferred there, because she didn't know much about the case.
But looking at these experienced veterans, even someone like Xiang Yuntian seemed helpless.
Of course, Zhao Fei didn't know that Xiang Yuntian was so preoccupied with Bai Mengfei's matter that his mind was completely elsewhere, leaving him utterly distraught.
Left with no other choice, Zhao Fei had to believe Wang Tian. He slammed his fist on the table in anger, pointed at Wang Tian, and said, "You tell me."
