Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 519 - 376. This is exactly what the criminal wants (3rd watch 3)_2

Lippmann raised an eyebrow slightly, the tall, thin man’s green eyes flashing with intelligence: "What, do you think the conditions are ripe?"

Shi Nian sat down and said sincerely, "To be honest, when you initially suggested I shouldn’t directly report the connection between Yanwu Square and the Child Wife Case, I had some feelings and didn’t quite understand. But as the investigation deepened, I began to understand your deeper meaning more and more. At this point, I think I’ve completely grasped your original intention."

"Boss, you’re a famous journalist, and your experience and insight in this field are extremely precise. Now that I think about it, maybe you had already sensed something was off about this case back then: you must have felt at the time that the Child Wife Case in Yanwu Square and the case at Kangchuan University were actually two different things, which is why you asked me to temporarily set aside the Yanwu Square case and report on the Kangchuan University case alone."

Lippmann smiled: "Shi, in our line of work, you have to pay special attention to your intuition. Reporting and writing scripts are not difficult; what’s difficult is how to objectively and fairly uncover the real story. No fabrications, no bias, giving readers the truth that is closest to the facts."

Shi Nian stood up and solemnly bowed to Lippmann: "Thank you, for once again teaching me such an important lesson."

Soon after Shi Nian took his leave, when he reached the office door, Lippmann suddenly called out to him.

"Shi, do you know why I chose you, with relatively little experience and no resources in M Country, over Xiong Jie back then?"

Shi Nian subtly took a breath.

Lippmann nodded and smiled: "I know there were many external speculations about this. Even Xiong Jie once questioned you face-to-face."

Mentioning Xiong Jie again, Shi Nian felt a tinge of bitterness in his heart.

Lippmann got up and walked over, patting Shi Nian on the shoulder: "That’s because I could already see that, in your reporting, people are always at the forefront. Even though some in journalism focus more on the events themselves, spending all their energy on making the events incredibly intricate and disregarding humanity; but you’re different, your focus has always been on the people in the events, and you’re constantly concerned about humanity in these situations."

"I can see your heart, that’s why I chose you. Shi, stick to being yourself."

Warmth surged in Shi Nian’s heart, and he bowed to Lippmann once again, turning around and leaving with confidence.

After returning from Asia, Luo Xiansheng and Yan Jian both kept to themselves somewhat.

That night, Shi Nian had arranged with Tang Yanqing to bring Luo Xiansheng and Yan Jian out for dinner. The pretext was to welcome them back from their trip to Asia.

As expected, both Luo Xiansheng and Yan Jian refused at first.

So Shi Nian and Tang Yanqing split the tasks, each responsible for one, both determined to drag them out.

Tang Yanqing went straight to the Luo Family, shamelessly moved into Luo Xiansheng’s room, and threatened that if Luo Xiansheng didn’t give him face, he’d sleep in the same bed with him every night.

The Tang Family and Luo Family are old friends; Luo Xiansheng grew up in the Tang Family, so Tang Yanqing had naturally spent many nights at the Luo Family. These two kids had shared a bed many times since childhood, so the elders of the Luo Family just smiled it off. But after sleeping for one night, Tang Yanqing started making vague comments at the breakfast table the next day about last night... things like how Little Sound’s skin was so smooth, scaring Luo’s grandfather so much he lost his appetite.

After breakfast, Luo Xiansheng dragged Tang Yanqing by the ear upstairs, asking what he really wanted.

Tang Yanqing deliberately shouted downstairs, "Oh Little Sound, don’t touch it. It seems naughty..."

Luo Xiansheng nearly cried: "You’re framing me?!"

Tang Yanqing pointed his fingers together: "You know, this dinner was Shi Nian’s idea. If you don’t give face, she won’t show me a good face either..."

Luo Xiansheng felt utterly powerless: "So if she doesn’t get into your bed, you crawl into mine, huh?"

Tang Yanqing gave a wicked smile and nodded forcefully: "Since we’re both feeling empty, lonely, and cold, let’s just huddle together for warmth."

His words carried a deeper meaning.

Luo Xiansheng turned his head away, refusing to respond: "Your own woman, solve it yourself."

Tang Yanqing slowly shed his smile: "Little Sound, it’s just dinner with Shi Nian and me, not with my big sister. Don’t think I don’t see it, you’re keeping to yourself and too scared to see people because you’re hiding something in your heart."

Luo Xiansheng looked up sharply.

Tang Yanqing snorted: "I’m going to call Shi Nian right now, and tell her you’re being good."
