Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 351 - 231, Face-to-Face_4

George raised his voice in a mocking laugh.

"Call the police? This naive lady, haven’t you heard that there are things like handheld signal jammers in this world?"

As he said this, he confidently extended his hand toward Tang Yanyi and slowly opened his palm.

A small black electronic transmitter-like block lay in his palm.

Tang Yanyi was shocked, but she still stubbornly glanced at the phone in her hand—

Sure enough, the signal strength was zero at that moment!

Tang Yanyi gripped the chair tightly, her heart slightly tense but not panicked. She lifted her chin, defiantly meeting George’s eyes.

"What do you want? Do you really intend to imprison me in this secret room of yours?"

.

George smiled leisurely and walked over to sit on the chair opposite his desk, casually crossing his legs.

"You’re a female detective."

"You don’t mind being detained by me. To tell you the truth, I wouldn’t mind actually imprisoning you here. I’m the owner of this hotel, and I can erase every bit of surveillance footage showing you ever being here. Even the local restaurant you went to with Li Le Wen, I have the capability to have them delete any video evidence of you, even erase their memories."

"I just think that clever people shouldn’t do foolish things. Us confronting each other like this, blindly pushing each other to a dead end, doesn’t seem to have any positive significance, does it? How about we sit down and have a good talk? Why don’t you tell me why the police are investigating me in secret? Did I do something illegal?"

Tang Yanyi felt her scalp tingle: "What makes you say I’m a female detective?"

She felt exposed by him, who seemed to have captured the surveillance footage, which was understandable. But she was confident that she had never revealed her identity as a detective!

George tilted his head: "Ma’am, I always thought you were somewhat smart. How can you not figure out such a simple question?"

He extended his long fingers, lightly pointing toward the computer: "See the first image in the middle row? That’s the footage of you collecting evidence in my bathroom. Look at your professional technique; it’s clearly something you learned in police school. I think that course is called ’Forensic Techniques,’ isn’t it?"

"If you weren’t a female detective, why would you collect my DNA? How else would you use methods learned in police school? How could I, George Ford, not see through such things?"

Tang Yanyi immediately experienced ringing in her ears.

Sometimes a person’s educational background is like an innate inheritance, causing one to perform habitual actions without being aware of it.

George gazed with satisfaction upon Tang Yanyi’s expression and smiled contentedly: "Since we’ve come to this point, let me say one more thing: underneath the theory of forensic techniques, each officer’s evidence collection method is different. Your technique is very unique, it couldn’t help but remind me of someone."

With that, George took a book off the shelf.

Tang Yanyi looked at it and was fiercely shocked!

It was indeed her father Tang Mingxiang’s monograph, which discussed the methods of evidence collection by crime scene investigators!

George’s gaze calmly covered Tang Yanyi’s face, unsurprised by her drastic change in expression.

He gave a faint smile: "Miss Tang, please sit down."

.

Tang Yanyi sat as if struck by lightning, falling into the chair, facing George coldly across the desk.

George shook his head with a faint smile: "As expected, Miss Tang is still Chinese; you like to do things so rigidly, often forgetting to maneuver even when there’s room to do so."

Tang Yanyi raised her eyes to look forward: "What do you really want?"

George’s fingers didn’t leave the diamond embroidered mouth, with his elegant yet arrogant long fingertips remaining tucked in his sleeve.

"...Tell me, why are you investigating me? Going to such great lengths with undercover operations, cross-border evidence collection, even breaking into my room and accessing my computer without a search warrant. Such determination implies a significant motive."

"I’m very curious about this. So let’s strike a deal: you tell me your motive for the investigation, and I’ll wipe today’s incident clean, neither reporting to the Chinese authorities nor lodging a complaint with your police department... nor will I harm your father’s reputation."

He rolled his eyes slightly, a smug laugh escaping him: "Your father is about to retire. With the years of contribution he’s made in law enforcement, he can retire perfectly. As his daughter, you surely wouldn’t want to jeopardize his perfect send-off, would you?"

Tang Yanyi tightly closed her eyes.

George is truly cunning, targeting her weak spot directly.

She wasn’t a real Tang Family member, though Dad and Mom loved her dearly, she always knew her own identity, and thus she was especially respectful to them, fearing she’d make a mistake and lose their love.

Dad was about to retire perfectly, and her joining the police force in his stead naturally meant she didn’t want to burden him...

If Dad and her colleagues knew she came to such a downfall today, her status in her parents’, brother’s, and the Tang Family’s hearts would be lost.

This was a consequence she couldn’t bear.

She struggled to breathe, finally resolutely opening her eyes, coldly focusing on George: "I’m investigating Huangfu Huazhang!"
