Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 464 - 335, Face to face, how much can I tell you? (2 more 1)
Huangfu Huazhang stared at the opposite Tang Yanqing.
The Tang Yanqing of today also made him take notice. He was exceedingly patient, notably never clashing with him, no matter what he said, Tang Yanqing could digest it smoothly without offering correction or questioning.
So he nodded: "Okay, now we should get to the part you want to hear: Yes, in the case of Xiong Jie, I lied: Xiong Jie’s kidnapping case is related to me."
He smiled leisurely: "Actually, this is also a huge flaw I left myself, who told me that it was I who found Xiong Jie. It’s just a pity that Nian Nian insisted on handing Wang Dong over to the police, that’s when I knew I would eventually face this day."
Tang Yanqing’s face showed indeed not much surprise, he still just nodded lightly: "Is cousin admitting to the kidnapping of Xiong Jie?"
"No." He patiently corrected: "I just said Xiong Jie’s kidnapping case is related to me, not that I kidnapped Xiong Jie. The reason is simple, because Xiong Jie repeatedly provoked Nian Nian, I couldn’t stand by without doing anything, so I ordered my men to teach her a lesson and to shut her up."
"Yanqing, your father is running for governor, you must have seen many means of silencing people. So my original intention was actually to hope that my subordinates could follow a bright path that didn’t involve crime. For example, go see Xiong Jie’s boss Ali. Ali is a snobbish woman, very resentful about the fact that Xiong Jie’s articles repeatedly lost to Nian Nian’s, so as long as one thinks a bit from her perspective and lets her refuse Xiong Jie’s articles, that would mean shutting Xiong Jie up as well."
"But you understand, even my subordinates vary in quality. Someone took it upon themselves to want an easier way and bribed Wang Dong to kidnap Xiong Jie."
"Originally, it was nothing serious, because Wang Dong did not actually harm Xiong Jie, but the problem lay in the miscommunication with my subordinates: I did not know in advance that my subordinates kidnapped Xiong Jie, and Nian Nian was in a hurry to find her, so I dispatched my own subordinates. The result was my people contradicting my own people; by the time I led Nian Nian to the scene to understand the situation, there was no way to turn things around."
"I could only comply with Nian Nian’s wishes and take Xiong Jie away; but Wang Dong didn’t know this, and when he returned home and found Xiong Jie missing, he worried about being unable to account to my subordinates, so he harbored the intention to kill Xiong Jie... The result led to such consequences, I am also deeply regretful."
Huangfu Huazhang reached this point, squinting to look at Tang Yanqing.
Compared to admitting to Rosa’s affair, admitting to this matter involved greater risks.
Tang Yanqing’s face remained calm, "So, this means Wang Dong was merely a clumsy executor found by cousin’s subordinates; he was even George’s former employee. But this clumsy Wang Dong, evidently knew a lot of cousin’s habits and secrets. For example, he took Rosa away without making Xiong Jie look miserable, instead gave Xiong Jie a light makeup and matching dress, which fits cousin’s style; more importantly, Wang Dong placed Xiong Jie in front of the window every day, fixed on a chair... I heard this was once cousin’s own lifestyle."
Tang Yanqing’s eyes slowly climbed: "How could someone unqualified to know cousin’s identity be so familiar with cousin’s style and former lifestyle? I even can’t help but think, Wang Dong might actually be a fan of cousin."
Huangfu Huazhang couldn’t help but smile: "Oh? So there are such details. But actually, it’s not strange. Hasn’t Mr. Tang forgotten, Wang Dong was George’s former employee? Not to mention Wang Dong, even my dear elder brother himself, didn’t he remodel his face based on my facial features? George himself is my admirer, his former employee learned about my past from him and arranged everything according to my style, what is strange about this?"
Tang Yanqing nodded, but then slightly raised an eyebrow: "Makes sense, and I also know George had never really given up his thoughts of revenge against cousin in these past ten years. So he took the opportunity to send his people to arrange the details to frame cousin, which makes perfect logical sense."
Huangfu Huazhang spread his hands, nodding with a smile.
"But there’s one point, however, that doesn’t fit the logic." Tang Yanqing kept smiling calmly and suddenly looked over with a serious expression.
"Speak." Huangfu Huazhang remained leisurely.
"Cousin says his subordinates vary in quality, I understand, this is cousin being modest. With cousin’s perspective, how could he choose subordinates with varying quality? I believe strong generals have no weak soldiers, so the person who selected Wang Dong must not have been bad either. But cousin’s long-standing grudge with George, cousin’s subordinates would have known long ago, so how could that person select one of George’s subordinates?"
Huangfu Huazhang appreciated it and nodded: "Well said. It sounds like another major flaw that makes it impossible for my previous words to hold water. So in order to defend myself, I have to throw another truth at you."
Tang Yanqing nodded with a smile: "Please do." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Huangfu Huazhang chuckled, his gaze gliding over the glass, as if lightly brushing over Shi Nian’s face.
"Just like you said that George never gave up on the idea of revenge, how would I ever let my guard down against him? So this matter was also a special arrangement by my subordinates, intentionally finding someone related to him. Since I wanted to teach Xiong Jie a lesson, why not kill two birds with one stone and involve George as well."
Tang Yanqing nodded with a smile, wickedly blinking: "I thought so too. If it were me, I’d do the same."
Tang Yanqing leaned forward, narrowing the distance with Huangfu Huazhang: "And I believe that this matter was still cousin’s subordinate acting on their own to please cousin; you didn’t know beforehand. But now that I have to file the case, I’d trouble cousin to give me that subordinate’s name."
Huangfu Huazhang laughed too, leaning forward and getting closer to Tang Yanqing: "Yanqing, isn’t that person already in your hands? Nian Nian has seen her, she should have told you by now, right?"
"Who is it?" Tang Yanqing looked all innocent: "Recently, we indeed have a lot of people in our hands, yet I haven’t heard anyone mention this, so I can’t confirm who it is."
Huangfu Huazhang didn’t mind Tang Yanqing’s expression at all, just raised his eyes and looked again in Shi Nian’s direction.
"Professor T, how can you forget your own student? Even more, that girl once deceived Nian Nian, mocked Nian Nian. How can you forget her so easily?"
Tang Yanqing remained expressionless: "My student? Let me think. Ha, among the girls in room 507, there’s only Marina left now. Could cousin be talking about her?"
Through the glass, several people frowned a bit. Guan Liang was thoroughly confused, continuously asking: "Isn’t Huangfu Huazhang talking about Spicy Girl? What’s Mr. Tang doing?"
Tang Yanyi glared at him: "Right now, Huangfu Huazhang controls the direction and pace of the narrative, my brother disrupts his rhythm and plan by interjecting, in order to force him to say more unexpected truths."
Shi Nian thought for a moment and added: "Marina’s identity is also special; she’s from a Mexican gang family. I’ve even suspected before that her family might have had cooperation with the person behind all this. So now Mr. Tang is making a subtle trade, watching to see if Huangfu will give up Marina or Spicy Girl."
Jia Tianzi was also surprised, suddenly looking over: "You’re saying you think the two remaining in room 507 are actually related to the previous cases?"
Shi Nian firmly nodded: "Yes. It’s just that Mr. Tang is holding back on them now, so it seems like everything has settled."
.
On the other side of the glass, even Huangfu Huazhang couldn’t resist raising an eyebrow, surprised at how far Tang Yanqing pulled the thread.
Then he laughed: "Where’s that going? We are talking about Xue Ping. Oh, right, Nian Nian calls her Spicy Girl."
Tang Yanqing seemed slightly shocked: "Oh? Spicy Girl is also cousin’s subordinate? It was she who found Wang Dong?"
After hearing this sentence, even Huangfu Huazhang couldn’t resist raising his eyebrows high.
Tang Yanyi was even more excitedly punching the air: "Yes! See? That’s my brother catching Huangfu off guard, forcing him to speak a truth! He admitted with his own mouth that Spicy Girl was his subordinate, which naturally links him to the Kangchuan University series of cases!"
Shi Nian couldn’t help but smile too, looking intently through the glass at the man in the police uniform.
Today he had reined in his style, like a patient hunter, discreetly and silently setting an ambush, finally finding the opportunity to strike and seize the spot he wanted!
Huangfu Huazhang also realized his slip, but quickly adjusted, giving a calm smile.
"Mr. Tang can say so, but that’s not accurate. Spicy Girl is half my subordinate, but her words and actions do not represent my intentions. Because she is my servant Xia Zuo’s personal contact, and sometimes when Xia Zuo is too busy, he entrusts things for her to do. They came from the same orphanage, have a strong relationship, so I also tacitly agreed to Spicy Girl’s existence in my team. However, many of her actions only represent herself, and she does not directly follow my orders."
Tang Yanqing remained unhurried, smiling gently: "I certainly trust cousin. But with Spicy Girl, I have to suspect Xia Zuo. Thank you, cousin, for helping me find Xia Zuo’s suspicious point. Next, I’d still need your help to persuade Xia Zuo to come and chat with me as well."
