"Hmm, yeah... I like it."
Bai Fang murmured softly, as if answering unconsciously.
Yu Yao's eyes curved and she smiled brightly, "I like Doctor Bai, too!"
The clear and resolute voice was extremely certain of his own thoughts, and like a brilliant smile, it was like an arrow that easily penetrated Bai Fang's defense and hit her heart.
The sound of the accelerated heartbeat echoed in the chest, forming a contrast with the silence of the whole room.
Although Yu Yao didn't say anything deliberately flirting, Bai Fang felt a little shaken.
She gently rubbed Yu Yao's smooth cheek with her fingers and asked softly in a trance, "What do you like about me?"
Yu Yao squinted her eyes in enjoyment, and tilted her head slightly to touch Bai Fang's fingers. The temperature of her human body was transmitted through her cheek to Bai Fang's fingertips, which made her feel as hot as Yu Yao's words.
"I like everything about Dr. Bai."
These light words were like a spell that made Bai Fang's heart become unusually soft, and even his expression became gentle.
"You don't know everything about me, so how can you like all of me?"
She didn't know how to explain to Yu Yao her identity as a gang leader with a dark history.
Yu Yao's cheeks flushed, and she acted coquettishly and softly, "I can get to know you slowly. I'll start by liking you first."
A soft and crisp voice sounded in his ears, and whatever little resistance Bai Fang had left disappeared in an instant.
Yu Yao was usually fine, but at certain times, she really played to her weaknesses.
"Okay, you can understand it slowly, but I hope you won't run away after you understand it." Bai Fang's eyes were very gentle, and he reached out and hugged Yu Yao.
"But I will stay by your side and will not care about the strange phenomena you see and hear."
Yu Yao was slightly stunned. Bai Fang’s words and the warmth of his embrace made her feel a little dazed.
I don’t know whether to say it was happiness or being touched, her eyes were slightly red.
Afraid that Bai Fang would see her, she lowered her head and hung around Bai Fang's neck in a shameless manner.
Bai Fang was very keenly aware of her reaction. He reached out and patted Yu Yao on the back, sighing slightly.
Yu Yao is really as Shu Wen said, actually quite fragile, but she won't show it to anyone.
"I won't run away. I'm still lusting after Doctor Bai." Yu Yao's voice mumbled in his arms. Her emotions came and went quickly, and she soon regained her composure.
"Pestering me?" Bai Fang was puzzled.
Yu Yao smiled with her head tilted back, and was about to say a few flirtatious words when she heard a loud rustling of the quilt from the bedroom next door.
"Don't take this opportunity to flirt with my Xiaobai!!! I won't allow you to come into our house!"
The quilt made a resentful sound like that of an evil mother-in-law.
Yu Yao really wanted to rush over and chat with it, but she was reluctant to leave Bai Fang's arms, so she took the rare opportunity to hug it shamelessly.
Noticing Yu Yao's tightening arms, Bai Fang placed his palms on her back, supporting her body. Yu Yao's body wasn't as muscular as Bai Fang's, but rather soft, petite, and voluptuous.
At this moment, she was leaning softly in Bai Fang's arms, rubbing her head against Bai Fang's neck, as obedient as a little pet.
Bai Fang likes it very much.
The atmosphere in the living room was just right, but the quilt in the bedroom was full of resentment and kept muttering until Bai Fang got up to take a shower and let go of Yu Yao.
After watching Bai Fang enter the bathroom, Yu Yao leaned against the bedroom door and stared at the quilt inside.
"Be quiet at night. I'm already here, and you can't drive me away. Why don't you just give up struggling?"
"Bah, bah, bah, I won't give Xiaobai to you easily!"
Yu Yao hummed angrily and turned back to the living room.
After Bai Fang came out of the shower, she also went into the bathroom carrying her pajamas.
After washing up, Bai Fang turned off the lights and the two went back to bed to sleep.
It was the second time they slept on the same pillow, and Yu Yao was still extremely excited. She turned sideways and stared at Bai Fang without blinking for a long time.
At first, the quilt was noisy and dissatisfied with Yu Yao, but Yu Yao was probably in a particularly good mood today, so she didn't argue with the quilt and stayed quiet until the quilt gradually lost interest in arguing.
She quietly moved her body and moved closer to Bai Fang's side, sighing with satisfaction. Listening to Bai Fang's long breathing in the room, she closed her eyes peacefully.
The next morning, Yu Yao woke up and yawned. She glanced to her side and found that Bai Fang was already up.
She lay softly on the place where Bai Fang had been lying and rubbed Bai Fang's pillow.
"How can a girl do such a shameful thing!" The quilt immediately protested.
Yu Yao ignored Bai Fang's pillow and rubbed it, then sat up and obediently folded the quilt that was making so much noise.
"Since you are the one who got the quilt from the Bai family, I won't bother with you!" Yu Yao snorted, turned around and ran out of the bedroom quickly.
Bai Fang had probably finished exercising and was standing in the kitchen cooking after changing into casual clothes.
Yu Yao tiptoed to the kitchen door and secretly peeked in to watch Bai Fang cooking, looking intoxicated.
The goddess looks very beautiful even from behind when she is cooking!
Yu Yao was a very quiet person. She walked to the kitchen door without making any sound, but her enthusiastic gaze was very obvious.
Bai Fang was cutting vegetables when he turned around and met Yu Yao's extremely passionate gaze.
"What are you doing standing here?" Bai Fang couldn't help laughing.
Yu Yao was no longer embarrassed about being caught, and said confidently, "I wanted to secretly see what Doctor Bai was doing."
Bai Fang was cutting cucumbers. She pinched a cucumber strip and handed it to Yu Yao.
Yu Yao quickly stepped forward, took a bite of the cucumber strips, and ate them happily.
"I cooked some porridge and planned to mix some small cold dishes with it." Bai Fang turned back calmly and continued to pick up the kitchen knife. "Go wash up and change your clothes. We'll be ready to eat when you come out."
"Okay!" Yu Yao ran to the bathroom with an excited look on her face.
When she washed her face, brushed her teeth, and changed her clothes and came out, Bai Fang had already placed two bowls of porridge on the table in the living room, with two plates of cold dishes next to them.
Yu Yao happily went over and sat down with Bai Fang. She blew on the boiling hot porridge and picked up the cold dishes with chopsticks, eating happily.
Regardless of how it tastes, what Dr. Bai makes is definitely delicious.
"Can Yu Yao cook?" Bai Fang asked while staring at Yu Yao eating happily.
"Yes, I have to take care of myself after all." Yu Yao nodded, "But I can only make a few small dishes. I can't make more complicated dishes. I can still support myself."
Bai Fang chuckled, "Then you can come to my place for dinner when you have time. I can make delicious food for you."
Yu Yao held her chopsticks with a touched look on her face. "Doctor Bai is good-looking, has a good personality, and can cook. He's truly a master of both civil and military skills!"
I don't know why I suddenly used the term "versatile in both civil and military affairs" to describe Bai Fang, but Yu Yao felt that this term was very suitable for him.
When Bai Fang heard the words "both civil and military", he nodded thoughtfully, thinking that he should not have shed his identity as a gang leader yet.
After breakfast, Yu Yao volunteered to wash the dishes. Bai Fang was waiting for her in the living room.
After cleaning up the house, the two of them went out together and headed towards Yelai River.
"You mean Miss Wu? Will she still be waiting for me there today? If not, wouldn't we have come here in vain?"
Bai Fang said calmly, "It won't be in vain. The other party is a murderer. She will definitely investigate your whereabouts. Hunters won't let their prey escape so easily. And if she's not around, we can just go dig up the evidence you mentioned."
"Yes, there's another piece of evidence in that flower bed." Yu Yao nodded, a little worried. "That sound was very thin and weak. It might be a very small object, or it might be hidden very deep. I was wearing gloves and searched for a long time but couldn't find it."
"Did Miss Wu become suspicious of the evidence?"
Yu Yao shook her head. "I was judging by the sound at the time. I think Miss Wu thinks I'm a weirdo. She doesn't believe in the supernatural to begin with. Besides, that thing is really hard to find. I don't think she would be able to find it even if she looked for it."
Bai Fang nodded. Regardless of whether Miss Wu was waiting at Yelai River or not, they would always gain something from the trip.
The entire park will not be open to the public until the case of Ye Laihe's disappearance is resolved. The two of them sneaked into the cave that Miss Wu had pointed out last time.
After Yu Yao crawled into the cave, she suddenly felt a little strange and looked back in confusion.
"Now think about it, why did Miss Wu know there was a cave entrance here?"
Bai Fang also stopped and said, "Because he thoroughly checked every corner of the park before committing the crime. After all, checking the crime scene is a habit of the murderer, right?"
"But didn't the staff who get off work here every day notice it?" Yu Yao mused. "This location is indeed very remote, hidden in the green belt. It's hard to find unless you come here specifically to look for it. The entrance is not big, and the surface of the entrance is covered by plants. There are also green plants behind the entrance, which creates a visual misleading effect. Even if you pass by, you may not notice it."
"You can only find it if you know there's an entrance here."
"It's not surprising that the security guards and the staff responsible for accidents within the park didn't notice it, but how did she find out? Without enough time to carefully survey the entire park, she wouldn't have noticed."
"It can only mean that this Miss Wu is from the park."
Bai Fang nodded. "If you put it that way, it's unlikely that the park's top management would find out. Only someone who frequently wanders around the park would find out."
The two men looked at each other silently, turned around and continued walking towards the Yelai River.
"Doctor Bai, what kind of job do you think would allow someone working in a park to notice a hole in such a hidden place?"
Bai Fang smiled slightly. "They're cleaners and gardeners who take care of and prune plants."
Yu Yao nodded in agreement; she had similar thoughts.
The two of them walked slowly to the Yelai River. Along the way, they did not see any other figures, neither outside the park nor by the Yelai River. It seemed that Miss Wu was not here today.
"Is this Yelai River? It seems like a very peaceful place." Bai Fang stood by the lake and looked into the distance. The wind was light today and the lake was very calm, reflecting the sky, the sun, and the city, like a huge mirror embedded in the ground.
Yu Yao echoed, squatting beside the flower bed she had checked last time. She took out rubber gloves from her pocket and continued to search in the flower bed. "It's quiet, but there's a lot going on. There's a murderer and a ghost."
Bai Fang suddenly remembered, "Is this the ghost you saw here?"
"Yeah, I was really scared at the time. At first I even suspected that the ghost was related to the case, but when I thought about it carefully, there were quite a lot of inconsistencies."
"It would be better if the ghost has nothing to do with this case, otherwise it would be difficult to handle."
"Liang Yubai has been investigating the ghost incident very attentively, but there's still no news. Anyway, from the noises I heard that night, I feel like the ghost incident is related to the construction of Yelai River in previous years, but that was all many years ago."
"I guess it's quite troublesome to investigate, so Liang Yubai hasn't replied yet."
Yu Yao kept talking while leaning her head against the edge of the flower bed, trying to distinguish the sounds inside.
"It's strange...it's so loud today."
"Huh?" Bai Fang turned around and stared at Yu Yao. "Is it very loud?"
Yu Yao nodded silently and lay down beside the flower bed, listening carefully.
Last time, there was a very faint sound coming from below, but this time, there was a bunch of chaotic sounds, a large area buzzing like mosquitoes. I could vaguely feel that it was a human voice, but I couldn't hear what it was saying at all.
"There seem to be a lot of... people down there?" Yu Yao looked a little confused.
"Let me listen." Bai Fang also quickly lay down beside the flower bed and listened carefully.
Just as she held her breath and prepared to listen carefully to the sound under the flower bed, she suddenly felt a piercing gaze appear behind her. She straightened up suddenly and turned her head to look not far behind her.
A figure had appeared there at some point. He was wearing a white coat and casual clothes, a familiar mask, and his hands were in his pockets. He stood there motionless, staring at this side.
"She's here." Bai Fang muttered softly and pulled Yu Yao up from the flower bed.
When Yu Yao turned around, her eyes met with Miss Wu in the distance. When she noticed that the two men had noticed her, she slowly walked over.
"Trick her into talking and make her want to kill us." Bai Fang said in a low voice.
Yu Yao glanced around nervously, "But there are only two of us here, are we okay?"
Bai Fang smiled and patted Yu Yao on the back, "Don't worry, it's okay."
Although there was no basis for this statement, Yu Yao still felt great courage. She took a deep breath, smiled, and ran towards Miss Wu with a cheerful face, looking very happy.
"Ms. Wu! Why are you here? Are you here to look for evidence as well?" Yu Yao's expression was very natural, just like the state Bai Fang usually saw her in. Moreover, she got straight to the point and immediately caught Ms. Wu's attention.
"What evidence?" She was slightly stunned and quickly grasped the topic of concern.
Yu Yao turned around and pointed at the flower bed behind her. "That's what I searched for in the flower bed for a long time last time and couldn't find. I felt like there must be evidence in there, but I couldn't dig it up."
Miss Wu glanced at the flower bed that Yu Yao had just been searching, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled, "There probably isn't much evidence in there. Even if there was, it would have been taken away by the police long ago."
Yu Yao suddenly realized, "Yes!"
There was no doubt then that the sound she heard came from somewhere below.
"Then I really don't understand where Miss Wu's companion went." Yu Yao turned and cast her gaze towards the Yelai River. "Could she have been dragged into the lake by a ghost in the Yelai River?"
Bai Fang stood aside, secretly watching Miss Wu's movements.
After she relaxed, her hands in her pockets moved slightly in the pockets of her white coat, as if she was preparing for something.
Noticing Bai Fang's gaze, she turned her head and smiled.
Facing two people, she didn't look nervous at all, and seemed very confident that she could take down both of them at once.
Perhaps in her eyes, the two women standing in front of her were just two very easy to deal with.
She took a slow step forward, bypassing Yu Yao and Bai Fang, and stood on the bank of the Yelai River, looking down into the lake. "I don't know if there are ghosts in the Yelai River, but I heard that the bottom of the Yelai River was originally a river channel project. There must be a lot of secrets under the lake. Maybe my companion accidentally fell in."
"River channel engineering renovation..." Yu Yao instantly remembered the conversation she heard here that night, which seemed to contain similar information.
The Yelai River was later transformed into an artificial lake. The originally constructed river channel seemed to have been some kind of river recreational facility. After the proposal was rejected, it was directly filled with water and turned into a lake. So underneath... there should still be some remaining projects?
Miss Wu stood on the shore and looked down. Yu Yao also wanted to go over and see if she could catch something useful through the deep lake water.
She stood on the shore, squinting her eyes and staring at the lake, hoping to find something useful, but the lake was very reflective and the water was very deep, so she couldn't see anything just by standing on the shore.
"Ms. Wu." Yu Yao slowly turned her head to look at the person next to her. She smiled harmlessly, but with a hint of meaning. "Do you think those missing people are hidden under the lake?"
Miss Wu narrowed her eyes and said, "Then the police will definitely be able to find it."
"Yes." Yu Yao nodded thoughtfully. "If the police had this clue, they would have immediately searched the lakebed to confirm whether the missing persons had fallen into the lake and drowned or been thrown into the lake."
"If no body is recovered, it can be confirmed that it is not at the bottom of the lake."
Yu Yao turned her gaze towards the lake again.
The sound she heard was really small, and she could confirm that it came from below, but if it wasn't from the bottom of the lake... then where below could it be?
Yu Yao pondered, her eyes scanning the entire lake.
Ever since Miss Wu and Yu Yao stood together, Bai Fang's eyes never left the two of them, and he was wary of Miss Wu's every move.
If she is really the murderer, we can definitely get a lot of information out of her.
After Yu Yao asked some questions, her eyes began to wander around, as if she was observing the terrain here.
Miss Wu next to her shifted her gaze from the lake, stared at Yu Yao for a few seconds, and suddenly turned to look at Bai Fang.
Being suddenly stared at like this, Bai Fang suddenly became alert.
"Miss, what do you do for a living?" Miss Wu asked with a smile.
Bai Fang replied calmly, "A psychological counselor."
Miss Wu narrowed her eyes slightly and nodded, a smile in her eyes, "It really is a job that requires you to sit in the house all the time."
Bai Fang took two seconds to realize that she meant a job that didn't require much movement.
In her eyes, people like those who work in offices are probably easy to deal with.
"Ms. Yu is a detective. She usually interacts with people outside, so she should be able to handle many situations, right?" She turned her gaze to Yu Yao again.
"Hmm?...I guess so." Yu Yao nodded, a little confused, not knowing why she suddenly asked this.
Miss Wu suddenly moved closer to her, lowered her voice in front of her, and whispered, "I don't know if you can swim, but it doesn't matter if you can. It only takes a few seconds to deal with people like you."
Yu Yao was stunned and suddenly became alert, but Miss Wu was very close to her. She raised her hand in an instant and pushed Yu Yao into the water.
It was so sudden that Yu Yao was even a little dazed. Her entire head plunged into the water with a splash, and water instantly filled her ears, nose and mouth, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"You!" Bai Fang frowned suddenly and stepped forward quickly.
Miss Wu seemed to be on guard. There was a mocking smile in her eyes. She pulled her hand out of her pocket in an instant. In her rubber-gloved hand, she was holding a stun gun, which she quickly waved towards her.
The moment Bai Fang caught the moment, he took a step back and dodged quickly, which made Miss Wu stunned.
"I wonder how long you can hide!" Her brows furrowed, her eyes revealing an unfathomable ferocity. Holding the stun gun, she rushed towards Bai Fang.
Yu Yao, who fell into the water, had no idea what happened on the shore, but the moment she entered the water, her nasal cavity was full of water, and she was unable to recover for a while.
Fortunately, she could swim and float up quickly, but after falling into the water, she unexpectedly discovered that the tiny sounds she had heard before were clearer in the water than on the ground.
The sounds were indeed right down there... at the bottom of the lake.
Yu Yao frowned, floated to the surface, took a deep breath, coughed out all the water that accidentally poured into her throat, adjusted her disordered breathing, and turned to look at the shore.
Bai Fang was pressing Miss Wu to the ground. She was a little disheveled, breathing slightly, and looked a little tired. A stun gun was lying on the ground next to them.
"Doctor Bai! Are you okay?" Yu Yao raised her voice nervously.
"It's okay!" Bai Fang glanced at Yu Yao and responded, holding Miss Wu's hand tightly without loosening his grip.
Although she was subdued in a short time, she vaguely caught a glimpse of several dangerous things besides the stun gun in the pocket of Miss Wu's upside-down white coat. It was estimated that she used these things to knock down the missing people in the past.
If Bai Fang hadn't reacted quickly and dodged the electric/stun gun quickly, a normal person would have fallen to the ground in an instant.
"Then I'll dive down and take a look. You wait for me up there! I'll be back soon!" Yu Yao shouted twice. After waiting for Bai Fang's response, she took a deep breath and dived down hard.
She heard the sound at the flower bed and could confirm that the sound came from that area. After diving down to the bottom of the lake, she began to swim towards the source of the sound in the vast lake water.
