Chapter 284 Interrogation
Chapter 284 Interrogation
Bai Mengfei was not one to force others, and since Xiang Yuntian had so firmly refused, it would seem too proactive of her to continue persuading him.
So she simply turned over and pulled the blanket over herself.
However, she did not actually fall asleep; instead, she kept her eyes open and stared silently at the ceiling.
That's how the two spent the night.
If Xiang Yuntian were to tell Jiang Shuai about this, he would definitely be teased by Jiang Shuai. However, Xiang Yuntian naturally wouldn't reveal such a thing to Jiang Shuai, after all, he wasn't stupid, and he knew Jiang Shuai's personality well.
The night passed, and when Bai Mengfei woke up the next day, she found Xiang Yuntian still sleeping on the floor, with his head on her arm.
She picked up the blanket, thinking of covering Xiang Yuntian with it, since it was still early and Xiang Yuntian could sleep a little longer, at least that's what Bai Mengfei thought.
Holding the blanket, Bai Mengfei walked to Xiang Yuntian's side. As soon as she squatted down, she found that Xiang Yuntian looked very cute while sleeping, like a well-behaved child, with a happy expression on his face.
Even in his sleep, his face exuded a kind and gentle aura that warmed the hearts of those who saw him.
Just as Bai Mengfei gently draped the blanket over him, she accidentally woke him up. Xiang Yuntian jolted awake in his sleep, then quickly opened his eyes and said urgently, "Mengfei, don't leave me!"
These words came out of his mouth, revealing his nervousness and excitement.
Upon opening his eyes, Xiang Yuntian saw Bai Mengfei squatting in front of him. He breathed a sigh of relief, his emotions gradually calming down.
"I won't leave," Bai Mengfei said softly with a smile. "What were you dreaming about?"
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's question, Xiang Yuntian immediately felt a little embarrassed. He propped himself up with his hands and sat up, smiling at Bai Mengfei, and said, "I dreamt of what you used to look like, and I also dreamt that you left me."
Bai Mengfei had indeed left. He never expected that his nightmare would be so similar to reality, which explained why he looked so dejected at the moment.
"Don't worry, I won't leave you," Bai Mengfei comforted gently.
Xiang Yuntian then revealed a bitter smile and said, "That's good. I used to think I was fearless, but now I realize that there really is something that scares me, and that is the fear of you leaving me."
"No, I won't." Bai Mengfei raised her right hand and gently stroked Xiang Yuntian's head. Xiang Yuntian didn't like this, and shrank back slightly, laughing as he said, "Alright, I'm not a child anymore."
"Yes, I know!" Bai Mengfei said softly.
Xiang Yuntian blinked, thought for a moment, and then said, "By the way, do we have something to do today?"
Only after he mentioned it did Bai Mengfei remember that they were going to visit Li Tie in prison today to inquire about the lawyer's information regarding his family's inheritance case.
Bai Mengfei nodded quickly, stood up, and pulled Xiang Yuntian up as well, saying, "That's right, we have to go to the prison today to ask Li Tie who the lawyer in charge of their family's inheritance case is."
After a quick wash, the two set off immediately.
On the way to the prison, Bai Mengfei said to Xiang Yuntian, "Let me see Li Tie later. After all, I bear some responsibility for his current state. I feel quite guilty and want to apologize to him."
"Okay!" Xiang Yuntian agreed without hesitation.
Afterwards, the two went to the prison together, and Xiang Yuntian took Bai Mengfei to visit Li Tie.
When Li Tie saw Bai Mengfei, a flash of resentment immediately crossed his eyes.
After angrily berating Bai Mengfei, he got up to leave.
Bai Mengfei listened quietly to his scolding, and only spoke when she saw him about to leave: "Stop right there! I'll ask you one question: do you still want your freedom back?"
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Li Tie stopped and slowly turned around, asking, "Can you get me out of here?"
"Yes, because I know that I was also tricked by your cousin!"
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Li Tie immediately looked puzzled and questioned, "My cousin schemed against me? Haha, are you kidding me? That's impossible, my cousin would never scheme against me!"
"Believe it or not, it's the truth!" Bai Mengfei said.
Li Tie then pulled out a chair, slowly sat down, looked at Bai Mengfei through the glass, and pretended to be willing to listen, saying, "Okay, go ahead and speak."
"Your cousin not only wants to kill you in order to get your family fortune, but also plans to alter the will to make herself the heir."
Bai Mengfei had already revealed the truth, but Li Tie still looked unconvinced. He gently shook his head and said, "No, it's impossible. Although my cousin and I live in different places and different worlds, she has always been very independent and strong-willed. She relies on herself for everything and has already achieved a lot. She has no reason to covet this inheritance!"
"Human nature is greedy..."
Before Xiang Yuntian could finish speaking, Li Tie raised his left hand to interrupt him, saying, "Don't talk about that. I know my cousin's character; she wouldn't do such a thing. Besides, she's always been exceptionally good to me, something you don't understand, so I trust her completely!"
Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei were also confused about what kind of spell Zheng Yueru had cast on Li Tie. Seeing that Li Tie was not listening to anything, the two of them did not want to waste any more words.
Bai Mengfei then stated succinctly, "It's okay if you don't believe us, but the truth will soon come to light. We've discovered that your cousin has sent people to kill the lawyer in charge of your case. So we need to know who that lawyer is!"
Seeing Bai Mengfei's eagerness, Li Tie wavered somewhat, but his eyes still revealed a look of doubt, and he made no attempt to hide his skepticism: "You once harmed me. Give me a reason why I should believe you?"
"You don't have to believe me, then you can stay here for the rest of your life!" Bai Mengfei also showed her tough attitude.
"Ha!" Li Tie sneered and turned his head away, clearly unwilling to cooperate.
Bai Mengfei took a deep breath helplessly and then said, "No, I need to correct what I just said. You probably won't live to old age; you'll die here!"
Upon hearing these words, Li Tie was startled. This time, he was completely overwhelmed by Bai Mengfei's aura and began to try to believe what she said.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Alright, I'll assume you're telling the truth and give you the lawyer's contact information. But if that's not the case, I won't let you off the hook even in prison."
