Chapter 408 Missing

Seeing that Bai Mengfei was still so anxious, Xiang Yuntian was afraid that something might happen to her, so he quickly followed closely behind.

The two went outside and, relying on their memory, found the house where Linghu Bin lived.

Bai Mengfei strode forward and forcefully knocked on the wooden door with her right hand.

Not long after, Linghu Bin came to open the door.

His listless appearance clearly showed that he hadn't slept well last night, with his dark circles under his eyes being particularly noticeable.

However, this wasn't Bai Mengfei's main concern at the moment. Her mind was completely occupied with: Where had Qi Han gone? Had she left on her own, or had she been kidnapped?

Of course, the latter possibility is relatively small.

"Have you seen Qi Han?" Bai Mengfei asked, looking directly at Linghu Bin.

Linghu Bin rubbed his sleepy eyes, and it took him a while to react before he said, "I didn't see him! Why are you suddenly asking this? Has Qi Han disappeared?"

"Yes, I didn't see her when I woke up this morning," Bai Mengfei told the truth.

Linghu Bin said "Oh," with a somewhat disappointed look on his face, and said, "This matter cannot be taken lightly. I think we need to inform the village chief and see if he has any ideas."

This was truly the only option available at the moment, so Bai Mengfei had no choice but to nod in agreement.

The three then went together to the village chief's office.

Upon arriving at the village chief's office, Linghu Bin nervously explained the situation to the chief. Hearing that the missing person had come with government officials, the chief immediately took the matter seriously and hurriedly used the village's public address system to mobilize the entire village to help search for him.

However, even after searching until after 5 p.m., when it was getting late and dusk had fallen, there was still no trace of Qi Han.

Left with no other option, they had to return to the village committee.

In the neighborhood committee office, Bai Mengfei sat silently, her heart filled with worry, her right thumb nail constantly digging into her left thumb.

Xiang Yuntian was very worried about Bai Mengfei's condition and stood by her side the whole time. He dared not relax for a moment, paying close attention to the changes in Bai Mengfei's expression, and stood quietly by her side, not disturbing her thoughts.

At this moment, what Bai Mengfei needs most is this peace and companionship.

The village chief said somewhat dejectedly, "Sigh, it seems this person really is missing. Now that this has happened in our village, I'm afraid I should retire as the village chief!"

Sensing the village chief's worry, Bai Mengfei quickly said, "No, village chief! Although the person disappeared in the village, we understand the actual situation and won't blame you."

"Really? That's wonderful!" the village chief exclaimed with delight.

Sitting to the side, Linghu Bin said, "This is not good at all! Alas, Qi Han is just a girl, and such a big thing has happened to her family. I'm worried that she might do something foolish when she's confused and helpless."

"It shouldn't be a problem!" Bai Mengfei quickly encouraged him, saying, "Although I haven't known her for long, I feel that she is a very strong girl, so she should be fine. I'm quite relieved about that."

Linghu Bin remained seated, shaking his head and sighing repeatedly.

After some remorseful reflection, he said, "To be honest, this is all my fault."

Xiang Yuntian felt this was none of his business, so he asked, "How can I blame you?"

"It's my fault for being here, that's why Qi Han came; it's my fault for becoming a suspect and dragging her into this, which led to her disappearance."

Bai Mengfei immediately denied it, saying, "It's really not your fault! There are many things you don't know about Shengyang's case. Besides his accidental death on the railway tracks, two other people were murdered before him. Moreover, those two were just customers who went to his business, and what's even stranger is that one of them was his friend. I've never been able to understand, given these relationships, what exactly was the motive for the murders?"

As she finished speaking, Bai Mengfei lowered her head even further, and her brows furrowed involuntarily.

Seeing that Bai Mengfei was a little irritable, Xiang Yuntian raised his right hand and gently placed it on her shoulder, encouraging her, "Don't think too much. There's always a way out. When things come to you, we'll deal with them."

"Mmm!" Bai Mengfei responded softly, but her mind was still in turmoil.

Since it was getting late, Linghu Bin invited the two of them to have dinner together. Being in an unfamiliar place, they couldn't refuse and had no choice but to accept his hospitality.

After arriving at Linghubin's place, they ate while discussing Qi Han's disappearance.

"Have you gone back to your residence since then?" Linghu Bin asked. "Maybe she's already gone back?"

Xiang Yuntian shook his head helplessly and said, "I went back and checked, but she didn't go back at all. As a forensic doctor, I can clearly determine whether there are any traces of someone being at the scene. I also left a note on the cabinet next to the sofa, telling her to wait for me there after she saw it. But she still didn't go back."

"Where could she possibly run off to?" Linghu Bin couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Seeing that the two were racking their brains over this matter, Bai Mengfei decisively said, "Forget it, let's eat first. We can go back to look for it after dinner. We've done what we can, and the rest is up to fate."

Xiang Yuntian nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with her idea.

So the two of them quickly had dinner with Linghu Bin and then returned to their lodgings.

As soon as they got back to the house, Bai Mengfei sat on the sofa and said to Xiang Yuntian, "If you feel sleepy, you can go upstairs to rest. I want to wait here a little longer; maybe she'll be back soon."

Xiang Yuntian felt that the hope was very slim, and he was also worried about leaving Bai Mengfei to wait alone in the downstairs living room, so he went over, sat down next to her, and said, "Then I'll wait with you."

“You know she might not come back,” Bai Mengfei said. “Besides, your injuries haven’t healed yet, so the most important thing to do now is to rest.”

"I know." Xiang Yuntian nodded gently, a faint smile on his face. "Actually, I'm already very grateful to have you care about me like this. But I know my own physical condition. I'm fine, and I can wait with you for a while."

"I'm planning to stay up all night!" Bai Mengfei said with a faint smile.

Looking into her clear eyes, where his own reflection was clearly seen, Xiang Yuntian smiled and said, "Even if it takes a lifetime, I'm willing to stay with you. Because I love you."
