Chapter 456 Protection
Due to recent news reports of the murder of members of this tour group, the company's business has been severely impacted, and it has become deserted.
Han Xue thus became very free.
When Han Xue saw Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian arrive, she naturally came out to greet them with great joy. However, she did so not as the group leader or tour guide, but as a friend, because she knew in her heart that the two of them would most likely not dare to travel anywhere with a tour group again.
After welcoming Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian to the tea station, Han Xue generously served them tea and enthusiastically brought up the matter of pearls: "Do you know, the pearls Lao Yu gave us last time are worth at least tens of thousands of yuan! Last time I showed them to a knowledgeable friend, and he offered 30,000 yuan, but I didn't sell them!"
Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian didn't care about money; they just smiled politely.
Seeing their serious expressions, Han Xue keenly sensed something was wrong and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you two? Didn't you come to see me? Why do you both look so preoccupied?"
Bai Mengfei took a deep breath and pulled Han Xue to her side.
Han Xue was startled and hurriedly asked, "Zhang Ting, what's wrong?"
Seeing that there was no one else around, Bai Mengfei solemnly said to Han Xue, "Someone wants to kill you!"
"Huh?" Han Xue was taken aback and instinctively moved to the side. "Are you kidding me?"
Bai Mengfei said seriously, "I'm not joking, I'm serious. Someone really wants to harm you! Miao Xiaoxiao, who escaped death with us on the island, has been killed!"
"I've heard about this too, but wasn't it said that it was He Bin's fans who did it?" Han Xue muttered to herself.
Seeing that she was still clinging to a sliver of hope, Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but remind her, "Don't be so naive! We've already identified the murderer who killed Miao Xiaoxiao—it's the serial killer! We later found the pearls Lao Yu gave us at Miao Xiaoxiao's house, which means the murderer wasn't after money!"
Upon hearing this, Han Xue's face instantly turned gloomy, and she seemed somewhat dazed.
Bai Mengfei quickly reassured her, "You don't need to worry too much!"
Hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Han Xue finally came to her senses, looked up at Bai Mengfei in disbelief, and said, "So you came here just to tell me about this, right?"
"Yes, that's right!" Bai Mengfei answered affirmatively.
Han Xue asked urgently, "Then who will the murderer hurt next? Me, or you?"
"It's very likely to be you!" Bai Mengfei said without any hesitation.
Han Xue's emotions instantly became extremely unstable. She stood up, muttering to herself repeatedly, "No way! It can't be! How could he have found me? You must be joking with me!"
Bai Mengfei quickly said, "We're not joking, we're serious!"
Han Xue's face still looked confused and flustered, and her eyes were filled with fear as she looked at Bai Mengfei. She paced back and forth anxiously for a while before sitting down next to Bai Mengfei and asking softly, "Do you mean that I am in danger of being killed, that I will die a violent death, and that I will be dismembered and left without a complete corpse?"
Upon hearing this last sentence, Xiang Yuntian suddenly seemed to have a flash of inspiration and turned to look at Bai Mengfei. Perhaps the murderer took something from the victim's body after dismembering them, just to ensure the victim died without a complete corpse!
Bai Mengfei also thought of this, and turned her head to meet Xiang Yuntian's gaze.
After a moment of eye contact, the two turned to look at Han Xue, carefully observing the expression on her face.
At this moment, Han Xue appeared extremely flustered, her expression solemn and uneasy, with a deep sense of fear emanating from it.
Bai Mengfei quickly comforted her, "Actually, you don't need to think too much. We're here to protect you. We're police officers, you must believe us, we will definitely protect you!"
Han Xue stood up excitedly, turned around with a wry smile, her back to Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian, and said, "Protect me? If you could really protect me, you would have caught that murderer on the island! He's a ruthless and deranged killer, and you make it sound so easy!"
Bai Mengfei quickly got up and went over, saying, "Trust me!"
Han Xue turned around agitatedly, blocking Bai Mengfei's outstretched hand. She turned to look at Bai Mengfei and said, "I can't believe you! If you were in my position, you wouldn't believe me either!"
Xiang Yuntian also hurriedly stood up and said to Han Xue, "But now you have no other choice but to let us protect you!"
"No, there must be another way!" After saying that, Han Xue hurriedly walked out.
Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian, worried that her unstable emotions might lead her to do something unexpected, quickly followed her. They saw her go outside and start making phone calls, intending to sell the pearls.
After agreeing on a price of 40,000 yuan, she bought herself over 200,000 yuan in personal insurance and had someone come here to sign the contract.
After she finished her call, Bai Mengfei asked, "What are you doing?"
Han Xue suddenly burst into tears, sniffling as she said, "I'm definitely going to die this time! I need to secure a way out for myself so that someone can take care of my parents and younger brother! You all have to help me!"
After saying that, she tightly grasped Bai Mengfei's hands, "If I die and the insurance company tries to renege on their promises, you are forensic doctors, and I hope you can provide relevant evidence to prove that I was murdered so that they can pay me compensation, okay?"
"You won't die, we will do everything we can to ensure your safety!" Bai Mengfei said firmly.
However, Han Xue wouldn't listen to any of it and actually signed the contract with the insurance company representatives after they arrived.
After signing the contract, Han Xue seemed distracted and absent-minded.
Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian were also helpless; they could only follow her wherever she went and protect her at all times.
Han Xue does not live at home, but lives in a studio apartment.
Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian followed her to the single apartment and took good care of her. Ever since learning that her life might be in danger, Han Xue seemed to feel that she was about to die, and she even refused to eat. Bai Mengfei had no choice but to cook for her herself.
Xiang Yuntian was responsible for looking after her to prevent her from doing anything foolish due to her suicidal thoughts.
Sure enough, just as Xiang Yuntian turned to go to the restroom, Han Xue picked up a fruit knife.
Fortunately, Bai Mengfei came out of the kitchen and saw this scene.
With a "crash," the plate of food in Bai Mengfei's hand fell to the ground, scattering dishes and food everywhere. Just as Han Xue was about to cut her own arm with a knife, Bai Mengfei reacted quickly and stopped her in time.
