Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 562 - 410. Is there anyone whose heart is indestructible? (2nd update)
How could Tang Yanqing not understand Xia Zuo’s words?
George, defeated by Huangfu Huazhang, was exiled for fifteen years. He finally used the Yanwu Square case and cooperated with Tang Yan Yi, leveraging the police force to bring him back to M Country. He thought he had a brilliant strategy, but ultimately it was all in vain.
This man couldn’t even withstand a single blow from Huangfu Huazhang. But if Tang Yanqing couldn’t even capture George, then he was even more insignificant in front of Huangfu Huazhang.
Tang Yanqing gritted his teeth and smiled, "I will definitely catch him, you just wait!"
Huangfu Huazhang was equally haggard these days, his hair at the temples turning gray. Tang Yanqing’s almost sworn words meant nothing to him; he simply turned his head, surveying the police office.
"But, how long do we have to wait? Mr. Tang, you are a detective, surely you police know better than me, that over seventy percent of hostages in kidnapping cases perish within forty-eight hours. Of the remaining fortunate thirty percent, twenty percent won’t last six months; and the final ten percent... might disappear forever, never to return."
He turned back, his blue eyes like ice: "Now it’s been six months, a critical juncture of life and death. You say you want me to wait, how long exactly do you want me to wait, tell me?!"
Tang Yanqing took a deep breath, but couldn’t control his temper, "I also want to know how much longer to wait! Huangfu Huazhang, I’m even more anxious than you, I want to find her sooner than you!"
He had already waited four years; how much longer would he have to wait this time? Eight years, twelve years, or forty years?
But actually, it doesn’t matter how many years he waits, as long as he is given a concrete number, he can count each day and keep waiting. But the current situation is such that the end cannot be foreseen, maybe indefinitely, maybe... for the rest of his life.
Huangfu Huazhang closed his eyes in disappointment, opening them after a long time to glare at Tang Yanqing.
"I really don’t understand, why you who are so useless still want to be a police officer, and have the face to receive medals! I know you don’t like hearing this because you are from the Tang Family, but frankly, I fear that’s exactly the case."
"Huangfu Huazhang, what are you saying?" Tang Yan Yi just came in from outside and rushed over when she heard it, but was tightly held back by Xia Zuo.
Huangfu Huazhang squinted at Tang Yan Yi, "Did I say anything wrong? If not, then why after six months are my Nian Nian and Jieyou missing alive, missing dead? Shouldn’t you police and him give me an explanation?"
Huangfu Huazhang contemptuously withdrew his gaze from Tang Yan Yi’s face, "Moreover, I was only chastising him as a descendant of the Tang Family. And yet you are not truly part of the Tang Family, why are you reacting so strongly?"
Tang Yan Yi’s most vulnerable point was severely struck again, she tried hard to hold back, but her vision was still blurred by tears. She laughed forcefully, "Huangfu Huazhang, I would say the same: George took Shi Nian and Jieyou away, wasn’t it because of the sins you created? It’s all because of you that Shi Nian and Jieyou are six months missing alive, missing dead! You can imagine what fate they would face in George’s hands, and all this was caused by you, they are suffering on your behalf!"
Psychological attack, Tang Yan Yi was equally adept!
She thought she could strike a decisive blow, but Huangfu Huazhang merely curled his lips slyly, raising his chin coldly, "Do not shift the focus, the criminal now is George. What you police need to do is capture George and rescue the hostages, not lecture me on principles."
"If you want to hear principles, I will go to Gao Shan Zen Temple or a church; the High Monk and the priests will speak more eloquently. Tang Yan Yi, you were never proficient in this, better keep your psychological tactics to yourself."
In the end, the commissioner personally came out to mediate.
The families of victims come to the police station to cause a scene, all kinds of tricks have been played out. The commissioner once personally handled a case of a child abduction where the parents simply pitched a tent at the station and camped out, never leaving for 24 hours. Such feelings are understood by police, so the commissioner merely advised Huangfu Huazhang.
Seeing the commissioner being courteous to Huangfu Huazhang, Tang Yan Yi felt aggrieved and couldn’t help but retort, "Huangfu Huazhang, if you think you’re so capable, why don’t you find them yourself!"
Huangfu Huazhang immediately retorted back, "If citizens rely only on their own strength when encountering problems, then why do taxpayers spend money to support you policemen?"
Tang Yanqing sat in the chair, his face pale, sweat dripping.
He finally stood up slowly and said to Huangfu Huazhang, "Alright, give me another month. If in this month there is still no progress, I will resign automatically. I am not fit to be a police officer!"
Huangfu Huazhang coldly stared at him, "Actually, whether or not you’re a police officer means nothing to me. All I care about are my Nian Nian and Jieyou! If they never return, you just resign lightly... I feel that your words have really no value at all now."
Tang Yanqing’s forehead veins throbbed, "Do you think if they never come back, I can continue living? Merely resigning is indeed nothing, but I cannot disgrace the police. After resigning, I will accompany them in death, I will keep my word!"
Tang Yanqing was too anxious, speaking recklessly, but everyone around heard the anomaly.
Huangfu Huazhang indeed snorted coldly, "Together in death? Mr. Tang, you are too much. They definitely won’t be in trouble; if anyone is to die, it should be you alone."
Tang Yan Yi was about to rush up again, but the commissioner held her tight.
The Detective ordered someone to restrain Tang Yanqing again, then smiled and escorted Huangfu Huazhang out. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
.
Huangfu Huazhang left, and the entire office fell into a dead silence, everyone looking at Tang Yanqing with sympathy.
Six months had passed since the handsome young man, now with hair past his ears and a face full of stubble. The uniform that once was immaculate now seemed like a pile of rags thrown over him.
Even though this person is alive, his spirit is already destroyed.
Tang Yan Yi watched, heartsick and anguished. She couldn’t help but walk over with tears in her eyes, pushing aside colleagues to personally support Tang Yanqing: "Little brother, don’t listen to Huangfu Huazhang. Quit what job, life and death, I think he’s the one who’s suspicious."
Tang Yanqing gently closed his eyes: "Don’t talk nonsense, it’s not him. He’s always been in our sight, from when the incident happened until now, almost appearing in front of you and me every day. How could it be him."
The Detective came back, urging Tang Yanqing sternly: "Go see the psychologist quickly! Your condition is really getting worse!"
.
In the distant Rolls-Royce, Huangfu Huazhang relaxed his demeanor. His hands held the crystal skull on his cane, and he closed his eyes in leisure.
Only then did Xia Zuo turn his head and ask: "It’s been six months. How much longer will the gentleman wait?"
Six months, yet the gentleman has been able to stay steadily in place for so long, and it seems he has no intention to leave. How can the gentleman be so calm, so assured?
Anyone else would have long been eager to abandon everything at hand and fly off to the ends of the earth.
Huangfu Huazhang slightly curled his lips: "What’s the rush? What I want is not just these few months; I want a lifetime. Only by spending time now to handle everything will there be a long future."
Moreover, how could Tang Yanqing be someone easy to deal with? If he doesn’t remain still, leaving Tang Yanqing without a trace, once he moves, he bets Tang Yanqing will definitely follow.
This is a game testing patience, like hunting, like fishing; those of low rank seek grand scenes, while true masters can hold their breath and stand firm until the best moment arrives to strike fatally.
.
Tang Yanqing had to go see the psychologist.
Upon entering the interview office, he frowned: "Uncle Du, why is it you?"
Du Songlin also smiled helplessly: "Considering my long years of friendship with the Tang Family, when your second uncle invited a psychologist to the police bureau, naturally he thought of me. Besides, the psychologists your Detective wanted you to see before couldn’t bring any positive effects for you, so he thought of me. He hoped, given our many years of camaraderie, I could help you open up and accept treatment."
Tang Yanqing raised an eyebrow: "I’m fine, just anxious."
Du Songlin sighed softly: "Anxiety can be fatal."
Tang Yanqing lowered his head and stayed silent.
Du Songlin shook his head: "I know why other psychologists are at a loss for you because they forgot you’re also a criminal psychology expert. You’re already familiar with their methods, and you know how to deceive them, so you haven’t received real treatment for so long."
"This won’t do, Yanqing, you’re at your most vulnerable psychological state now, you need someone to help you. Uncle Du may not solve cases or know much about the law, but Uncle Du is somewhat more experienced in this field than you. Let Uncle Du help you."
Tang Yanqing finally nodded.
Du Songlin slowly said: "In front of Uncle Du, you can let go of your defenses and give yourself completely to Uncle Du. Trust me; I can definitely help you get out of this predicament."
Tang Yanqing’s breathing became increasingly slow, his eyelids gradually heavy, eventually closing.
Du Songlin’s mouth subtly curved into an unfamiliar arc.
