A Female Forensic Doctor Transmigrates into a Book as the Female Supporting Character Chapter 410 -: Willing

“We’re aware that Liu Jing’s disappearance stems from someone intending to end her life,” Feng Jing observed Liang Yi’s gaze drifting towards the kitchen, and obliged by lowering his voice.

“End her life?” Liang Yi questioned, a note of bewilderment in his tone. “She’s merely a young girl, frail of spirit. Who on earth would target her?”

“Yan Kai.” The utterance of Yan Kai’s name elicited a flicker of astonishment on Liang Yi’s face, just as Feng Jing had anticipated.

“Is he so petty as to eliminate a mere child? If that’s the case, why aren’t you apprehending him? And why seek my assistance?” Liang Yi displayed a distinct lack of concern for Yan Kai, opining that a scoundrel like him would inevitably face repercussions in due course.

“We lack concrete evidence, hence our need for your cooperation,” Yin Tao stated plainly. Having been aided by Liang Yi in the past, she harbored no suspicion of him being an adversary.

“I cannot assist you.” Liang Yi’s demeanor shifted, revealing visible distress, as though wrestling with a profound internal conflict.

“Then we shall be forced to await the discovery of Liu Jing’s remains.”

Before Feng Jing could conclude his sentence, Liang Yi let out a derisive scoff. “You law enforcement are truly inept. If you only act when confronted with the deceased, how then do you expect to apprehend the perpetrator?”

“Precisely why your help is indispensable.”

Just as Liang Yi prepared to deliver a sharp retort, Cheng Fei’s voice intervened from behind. “Brother Liang, lend them your insight. Help them devise a strategy.”

Cheng Fei presented a cup of freshly brewed tea. Liang Yi accepted it with haste, then clarified, “However, I am loath to expose you and Yaoyao to any peril. Yan Kai is by no means a honorable man; corner him, and he will resort to desperate measures.”

“That is precisely why we must eradicate him completely. He warrants the punishment he deserves and must cease to pose a threat to others.”

Feng Jing, sensing Liang Yi’s lingering apprehension, quickly added, “I acknowledge your limited involvement in the black market’s dealings. It would be prudent to disengage before matters escalate further. Surely, you do not wish for Cheng Fei and Cheng Yao to remain perpetually concerned for your well-being?”

A period of silence followed, after which Liang Yi finally nodded, a sense of relief washing over him. He then addressed Feng Jing, “I possess certain incriminating documents pertaining to Yan Kai’s illicit activities. At the time, this was a measure of self-preservation. While the evidence may not be exhaustive, it is sufficient to ensure he spends the remainder of his days incarcerated.”

He observed the pile of documents Liang Yi presented. These detailed Yan Kai’s fraudulent financial practices and instances of violent conduct, even including records of illicit substance trafficking.

“This is more than enough.” Feng Jing efficiently organized the documents and dispatched them to the precinct. Though these represented only a portion of Yan Kai’s transgressions, the evidence would enable him to swiftly gain control over Yan Kai, making his confession to other crimes an inevitability.

“Are you acquainted with the black market’s principal figure?” Feng Jing’s prior perception of Liang Yi underwent a significant alteration.

Liang Yi abstained, admitting with some difficulty, “I truly have no knowledge of him. Only those implicated in murder cases are afforded the opportunity to ascend to the status of a true inner circle member of the black market. I maintain boundaries regarding certain actions, particularly since my relationship with Cheng Fei commenced. I have largely abstained from any unlawful conduct.”

Witnessing Liang Yi’s compliant demeanor, Yin Tao could not suppress a chuckle. It seemed that love indeed possessed the power to transform an individual; even someone like Liang Yi exhibited such a surprisingly docile facet. Yin Tao found this quite astonishing.

“Xiaotao, I can vouch for him. I made him swear upon his life that he would cease all illegal activities.”

Cheng Fei appeared genuinely pleased with Liang Yi’s transformation. He explained to Yin Tao and Feng Jing, “While his past actions might be deemed excessive, they were primarily business-related. I can comprehend his methods. The individuals under his former command are now employees of the security firm. I have already directed him to engage in legitimate professional endeavors.”

“Brother Cheng Fei, we trust your judgment implicitly, and we also place our confidence in Mr. Liang. However, there remains one further matter…”

“Please, do not hesitate to speak. With me present, Liang Yi will undoubtedly extend his utmost cooperation.” Cheng Fei was genuinely eager to assist. Furthermore, Cheng Fei had long harbored a desire for Liang Yi to extricate himself from the clutches of the black market.

Yin Tao and Feng Jing exchanged a glance before continuing, “It pertains to locating a specific locust tree.”

Upon hearing this, Liang Yi’s expression contorted slightly, and he cast a guilty look towards Cheng Fei.

“A locust tree? Are you still entangled with the black market? Is there a corpse buried beneath this locust tree?”

Observing Cheng Fei’s impassioned outburst, Yin Tao couldn't help but admire his vivid imagination. The transformation in both individuals was striking. Previously, Cheng Fei had been as meek as a timid hamster in Liang Yi’s presence, fearful and hesitant. Now, however, their dynamic had completely inverted.
