A Female Forensic Doctor Transmigrates into a Book as the Female Supporting Character Chapter 405 -: The Truth

“However, the situation changes when this police officer belongs to the Feng family.” Sister Ling cast a hopeful glance at Feng Jing. “Let’s go inside, take a seat, and discuss this properly.”

Jiang Xing and Yin Tao accompanied them into the room. Sister Ling and Liu Jing took seats by the bed, while Feng Jing and the others settled onto the sofas and chairs nearby.

“Jingjing, what’s wrong? Why are you hiding here?” Jiang Xing hadn’t anticipated the situation evolving like this. He had merely intended to assist Yin Tao with a minor request, only to uncover such a multitude of secrets.

Liu Jing continued to gaze at Sister Ling with evident worry, seeming hesitant to disclose the reason for her presence.

“Don’t be frightened. We’re out of options, and you can’t remain in the basement forever. Placing your hope in Officer Feng is our only recourse.”

Though Sister Ling didn’t entirely place her trust in the police, she was well aware of the Feng family’s influence. Given the man’s background, he might very well succeed if he set his mind to it. Even if his target was the black market’s boss, the Feng family would stand a fighting chance.

“Rest assured, I guarantee your safety.” Feng Jing surmised that Liu Jing’s hiding was undoubtedly linked to the black market. He had already expended considerable time on this matter and was certainly not about to relinquish such a prime opportunity.

“Someone wants to kill me.” Liu Jing’s voice trembled, her visibly distressed state suggesting she had recalled something deeply terrifying.

“Speak slowly, don’t be afraid. You are safe here now.” Perhaps it was due to Liu Jing’s resemblance to Cheng Yao that Yin Tao patted her shoulder with genuine concern, her heart aching for the young woman.

“Some time ago, while working as a waitress at an auction, I encountered an exceptionally troublesome patron.”

Liu Jing, striving to compose herself, recounted the truth she had been too afraid to voice. “Those guests were not people to be lightly dismissed. To evade him, I retreated to the auction’s VIP lounge to hide. I never anticipated stumbling upon such a horrifying event.”

“Did you happen to overhear something you shouldn’t have?” Feng Jing inquired gently, observing Liu Jing’s stammering. “Tell me everything. I will find a way to assist you.”

Liu Jing nodded, her voice regaining some steadiness. “Not only did I hear what was not meant for my ears, but I also saw two men. Both were quite tall. One was clad in a black suit, the other in dark gray casual attire. They were discussing matters of a terrifying nature. It was the first time I’d ever heard individuals speak of human lives as if they were mere dirt.”

“Based on Jingjing’s description, I can identify one as the man in the suit.” Sister Ling looked at Liu Jing with sympathy, feeling she had endured too much at such a young age.

“Who were they?” Feng Jing eagerly awaited the continuation of their account. This revelation could potentially be the key to apprehending the true mastermind behind the black market.

“Yan Kai, the auction house owner. I’ve encountered him a few times previously. He is an absolute madman. Though he hasn’t been involved in the black market for long, the rumors surrounding him paint a more fearsome picture than the actual black market boss.”

“Then the other individual must be someone of even greater significance.” Feng Jing’s primary interest wasn’t the auctioneer; his consistent objective had been to capture the genuine owner of the black market.

“Indeed, not just anyone gains entry to the VIP lounge.” Sister Ling concurred with Feng Jing, taking over the explanation for Liu Jing. “Liu Jing was so terrified at the time that she dared not make a sound, allowing her to clearly discern their conversation.”

“What was the content of their discussion? Could you recount it as precisely as possible?” Feng Jing harbored a strong premonition that Liu Jing’s subsequent words would expose the black market’s true secret; otherwise, she wouldn’t have found herself in such dire straits.

“They were discussing a USB drive containing something of immense importance.” Liu Jing’s memory of their conversation was indelible, amplified by the unnatural quiet of the room and her own heightened nervousness. She could distinctly recall their voices.

“The man Sister Ling identified as Yan Kai seemed to be searching for something on behalf of the tall man.”

“Was he looking for a USB drive?” Feng Jing inquired.

“Yes, a USB drive that had already claimed numerous lives. The man in dark gray even went so far as to threaten the man in the suit, stating he didn’t care if more lives were lost over it…””
