Chapter 456: Chapter 206 It’s Here!_1

In Xia Hongyao’s eyes, every one of Lin Baici’s transgressive acts was a work of art, worthy of her study, so she felt very sorry for having missed out.

It was like missing out on a fortune.

"What content?"

Xia Hongyao asked curiously.

"You didn’t tell her about our identities?"

Lin Baici frowned, implying, had Xia Hongyao not found an excuse to fob Li Mei off?

"I showed her my police badge, but she didn’t believe it!"

Xia Hongyao shrugged her shoulders.

"Hello, Li Mei, we are the police!"

Lin Baici took his police badge out of his pocket and showed it to Li Mei.

"What do you want with me? Abortion is not illegal, right?"

Li Mei made a self-deprecating remark, her tone full of despondence. What else could matter to a girl who wasn’t even afraid of suicide?

"I hope you can stay with us for the next few days, and we will pretend to kidnap you!"

Lin Baici explained.

Since he wasn’t feeling hungry, he was certain that the organ thief wasn’t nearby, so he discussed the plan with Li Mei verbally. Otherwise, he would’ve written his request on a note.

"I don’t understand!"

Li Mei shook her head, looking at Lin Baici skeptically, mainly because the guy was too young and looked just like a college student.

Would the authorities send someone so young to handle official matters?

They’d usually pair them with an experienced, older colleague, right?

"An organization that steals organs has its sights set on you. We’re doing this to lure them out."

Lin Baici explained.

"Then why do you want to ’kidnap’ me?"

Li Mei was very suspicious.

"..."

How could Lin Baici explain? Should he tell the girl that the organ thief seemed to like her? So he planned to pretend to kidnap her, hoping to worry the thief and spur him into coming out to save her?

"Sorry, this involves some inside secrets, and we can’t disclose them to ordinary citizens like you. Rest assured, we will protect you and prevent you from getting hurt. Also, we will compensate you. How does 100,000 yuan sound?"

Lin Baici didn’t want to explain any further and directly offered money.

For an ordinary college student, 100,000 yuan was no small fortune.

"Can’t you just trust us for once? If I hadn’t protected you just now instead of helping Bai Ci, he wouldn’t have gotten hurt!"

Xia Hongyao complained.

Li Mei noticed the dried blood on Lin Baici’s skin and clothes and furrowed her brows. Indeed, the guy looked pretty ragged.

Did he get like this trying to save me?

Li Mei took a deep breath, thinking about how she had left nothing for her mother. If she died, the twenty years her mother spent raising her would’ve been for nothing.

"I agree, but I want the 100,000 yuan now."

Li Mei suddenly spoke up.

"Give me a bank account number, I’ll transfer it to you right now!"

Lin Baici breathed a sigh of relief. As far as he was concerned, any problem that could be solved with money wasn’t a problem at all.

But could he expense this kind of outlay?

Lin Baici looked at Xia Hongyao.

At that moment, High Ponytail had a flash of inspiration and blurted out, "As long as we catch the organ thief, it can all be expensed, including your torn clothes and the broken car."

Lin Baici gave a thumbs up: "Now I feel relieved!"

After the transfer was successful, Li Mei looked at the bank balance alert on her phone in a daze. He really gave it to her?

"You’re not afraid of death, so why would you be scared of us doing you harm?"

Lin Baici stood up: "Let’s go, follow us and make a couple of rounds at the school!"

"I get it now, it’s a ploy to draw the snake out of its hole!"

Xia Hongyao nodded, a good strategy indeed.

Lin Baici flicked his finger, snapping it against Xia Hongyao’s forehead.

Pop!

"Ow?"

Xia Hongyao covered her head. Why did he hit me?

Did I say something wrong?

"What’s with her?"

Lin Baici pointed his mouth toward the door, where Cai Wenqi was hiding just outside.

"She insisted on coming along!"

Xia Hongyao had no choice, she couldn’t just knock her out, could she?

When Cai Wenqi saw Lin Baici notice her, she immediately ran over: "Lin... Officer Lin, is there anything I can help with?"

"This student, don’t be afraid. Officer Lin is a good person, he saved me before!"

Cai Wenqi had seen Xia Hongyao show her police badge to Li Mei earlier, so she knew they were disguising their God Hunter identities and helped cover for them.

Li Mei sized up Cai Wenqi.

"I’m Cai Wenqi from the Chinese Language major, a freshman this year!"

Cai Wenqi introduced herself.

"You should go back for now, it’s dangerous to stay with us!"

Lin Baici shooed her away.

"Officer Lin..."

Cai Wenqi didn’t want to leave. Who knew when she would see him again? So she wanted to plead for a chance to become a God Hunter, to follow Lin Baici.

Lin Baici raised his right hand, halting Cai Wenqi: "I’m too busy today, we’ll talk another time!"

"Be careful then!"

Cai Wenqi left reluctantly.

Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao, flanking Li Mei on either side, took a long walk around the campus before heading to the nearest budget hotel to Haijing Normal University.

Nobody had brought their ID cards, but that was no problem. The police badge was very useful, and Lin Baici directly asked for two rooms. But for safety’s sake, he, Xia Hongyao, and Li Mei stayed together.

"Sorry to put you through this tonight!"

Lin Baici apologized, letting Li Mei and Xia Hongyao rest while he sat at the desk and worked on plans to capture the organ thief.

The night passed without incident, and dawn arrived.

"What are we doing today?"

Having not encountered the organ thief the previous night, Xia Hongyao felt disappointed.

"Wait!"

Lin Baici actually had an idea, which was to spread rumors around the campus that Li Mei had been taken away. This way, the organ thief would quickly get the message and come looking for her.
