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

Chapter 146 Persuasion

Jiang Shuai smiled knowingly. He knew that Xiang Yuntian was worried about Bai Mengfei being hungry, but he didn't say anything. He silently started the car and drove the two of them to the place where they would eat.

Unable to decide what to eat, the three of them chose a KFC.

During the meal, Bai Mengfei felt a little uneasy. She would turn her head from time to time to look at the bustling street scene outside the window, silently enduring it and unwilling to speak.

"Aren't you going to explain what happened this morning to me?" Xiang Yuntian finally couldn't help but ask.

Bai Mengfei then put down the scallion pancake in her hand and turned to look at him.

Under Bai Mengfei's gaze, Xiang Yuntian became somewhat flustered, lowered his head uncomfortably, and said in an almost pleading tone, "Don't do that next time."

Bai Mengfei felt that some things really needed to be clarified, so she said, "What if I do it again next time?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuntian, who had already made concessions, suddenly raised his head, looked at her in surprise, his eyes full of doubt.

Jiang Shuai originally wanted to mediate the conflict between the two, but suddenly received a phone call. He had no choice but to stand up and say, "You two should talk things out and not start arguing!"

In reality, the two of them would never argue. If Bai Mengfei glared at him, Xiang Yuntian probably wouldn't dare to say a word.

After Jiang Shuai left, Xiang Yuntian continued to earnestly persuade him, "Can you please stop? You know you're putting me in a difficult position. I'm just worried about your safety."

"I know, I know everything!" Bai Mengfei's emotions erupted instantly. "But have you ever thought that the deceased also needs to seek justice?"

"Can't you leave these things to me? I'm the professional forensic pathologist."

As Xiang Yuntian finished speaking, he attracted the attention of many onlookers.

Bai Mengfei turned to look out the window and said angrily, "That's right, you're a forensic doctor. But you've made a big mistake. You're acting like you don't care about anything except my business."

"No, it's just that the serial murder case is more crucial."

As soon as he spoke, Xiang Yun realized that many people around them were watching them, and he immediately felt that it was not a good place to talk for long.

So they forcibly pulled Bai Mengfei up and took her outside.

Bai Mengfei reluctantly followed him out, frowning as she looked at him with a mixture of distress and helplessness, hoping to make things clear here today. She herself was prepared to tell him the truth.

"Do you know? Every life is incredibly important," Bai Mengfei said.

Xiang Yuntian turned his head and looked at the blazing sun high in the sky, his thoughts racing.

After a long silence, he retorted helplessly, "Then let me ask you, is the life of an ant equally important?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei instantly assumed that Xiang Yuntian was belittling Tong Qian's life, and she was filled with rage.

She raised her right hand, clenched it into a fist, and pretended to hit Xiang Yuntian, but Xiang Yuntian grabbed it with his uninjured hand.

Xiang Yuntian gazed at her face with deep affection, his eyes still filled with undisguised doting.

After watching her quietly for a while, Xiang Yun realized that he had caused Bai Mengfei to misunderstand, and quickly explained, "What I mean is, everyone's life is important."

Bai Mengfei calmed down a bit, but still angrily withdrew her fist.

She angrily pulled her arm back, shoved her hands into her pockets, turned her head away, and deliberately avoided looking at Xiang Yuntian, wanting him to know that she was really unhappy at the moment.

"Okay, I was wrong. I did have ulterior motives."

Finally, Xiang Yuntian took the initiative to admit his mistake: "That's right, I made a big mistake. I was too emotional."

However, what Bai Mengfei cared about was not his admission of wrongdoing, but rather a clear and satisfactory guarantee and outcome.

Unfortunately, Xiang Yuntian failed to make such a promise, and Bai Mengfei naturally couldn't wait for it.

So Bai Mengfei simply turned around and left.

Seeing this, Xiang Yuntian hurriedly chased after him and said, "Wait, can't you think about me? I'm only doing this because I'm worried about your safety."

"But do you know? There are things in this world more important than my life, such as seeking justice for the deceased." Bai Mengfei looked at him, her eyes involuntarily revealing disappointment.

At this moment, Xiang Yuntian was also at a loss, as these two options seemed impossible to balance. If he agreed to Bai Mengfei's request, she might be in danger; if he didn't agree, Bai Mengfei wouldn't be happy.

Just as he was caught in a dilemma, Bai Mengfei said, "Can I choose my own life?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but gasp.

He once said the same thing to his parents, which led him to become a forensic pathologist instead of going into business.

Today, Bai Mengfei said the same words to him. At this moment, he finally understood his parents and Bai Mengfei's feelings.

Finally, he slowly released Bai Mengfei's hand, letting her choose the path she wanted to take.

Bai Mengfei was actually very sad. When she left, although she didn't look back, her heart was breaking and a feeling of self-blame welled up inside her.

She felt no guilt about the deceased or the case. But she felt deeply ashamed of the man who loved her so deeply, of his affection and devotion, and even felt like a sinner.

As Xiang Yuntian watched Bai Mengfei's retreating figure, he secretly resolved that he would never stop her from doing anything again.

He looked at his injured arm and felt that he could no longer offer her much help. He couldn't help but waver and began to wonder if he had loved the wrong person.

After Bai Mengfei left, she planned to take a car back to pack her things and then return to her old place.

Although doing so might seem abrupt and arouse suspicion, it was the path she chose, and she would never regret it even if she had to do it all over again.

However, on the way, she received a message from Fanghua: "Are you free to come over now? I have some case details I'd like to discuss with you."

It was rare that Fanghua finally put aside her prejudice against her because of her young age and was willing to cooperate, so Bai Mengfei naturally agreed happily.
