Enchanting His Heart: His Little Fox

Chapter 529: Chapter 527: The Kidnapper Found, Captain Tang Loses His Cool

"Knock, knock, knock—" Just then, there was a sound of knocking on the door.

Tang Si immediately let go of Song Yi.

Song Yi also shrank slightly into the blanket. What embarrassing things were they doing?

Ningxia Chuan walked in expressionlessly, holding a USB flash drive.

As he walked, he said, "I say, can you two be mindful of your behavior in public places?"

Tang Si raised an eyebrow calmly, "What’s wrong?"

Ningxia Chuan handed him the USB, "This is your wife’s."

"Yours?" Tang Si held it up to Song Yi, asking.

Song Yi took it, looked at it, then shook her head, "I don’t have a USB like this."

"But you were unconscious at the police station entrance, and this USB was in your hand," Ningxia Chuan stated, "How did you faint at the police station entrance?"

"I’m not sure," Song Yi frowned, "I was kidnapped. You should check the surveillance footage."

Ningxia Chuan: "We’ve already investigated. You walked there yourself and fainted there."

Song Yi furrowed her brows, did she really walk there and faint?

She had no recollection of that.

"I was covered and possibly inhaled something that confused my mind," Song Yi looked at the USB, "Is there a computer? There might be something on this USB."

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been placed in her hand.

Tang Si frowned, "You should rest well first. I’ll look at the USB."

Song Yi: "Get the computer here, and we can look together."

She was very curious about what was in the USB.

Ningxia Chuan spoke up, "I’ll get it from the car; my computer is there."

...

Soon the computer was brought in, and the USB was inserted.

The document inside was opened.

There were simple personal profiles, about two police officers.

Song Yang, An Lanting.

Graduated from the Academy of Criminal Law in year xx, officially entered the police force in year xx for criminal investigation work.

Song Yang was the captain of the criminal investigation team in Ning City, An Lanting was a forensic pathologist handling Case 001 and sacrificed themselves in the case.

Case 001 was a major vicious criminal case involving more than two thousand people.

Song Yang led the investigation of the case, the process was as follows —

"Zizz—" The computer screen suddenly blacked out.

The latter half of the information instantly disappeared.

It seemed that it only allowed viewing up to this point.

Ningxia Chuan and Tang Si immediately frowned. This was a special method and technology, rare in the information network, allowing remote control. Not many possessed such abilities.

This means... this is not a simple matter.

Case 001, in criminal investigation terms, is a well-known case, involving many complexities.

To this day, it remains unsolved.

This posture... is it an attempt to overturn the case?

Song Yi wanted to restart the computer and view it again, but it was impossible.

She anxiously looked at Tang Si, "They are my biological parents. Why can’t I see the rest?"

"Did you know something about that case back then?"

She was eager to know the truth, and her biological parents were also a point she was investigating.

Now, with the information in front of her, it disappeared halfway, making it unreadable.

Tang Si held Song Yi’s hand gently, "First, stabilize your emotions. Try not to get too agitated."

"I’ll explain this to you little by little," Tang Si touched the back of her head, "Right now, you can’t have emotional fluctuations."

Song Yi tried hard to control her emotions.

She was relatively strong at controlling her emotions.

During this time, a doctor came in to check on her condition which was stable, gave some instructions, and then left.

"That person kidnapped me, I don’t know who he was, but it was definitely intentional. He must have placed this USB in my hand and then led me to the police station entrance. He was bold."

Song Yi looked up at Tang Si, "This is a provocation."

"He wants to tell me that he knows my parents’ information, and he knows I’m investigating my parents."

"But why did he only give me a USB?"

Song Yi fell into thought.

Is this a warning?

Some things, if investigated on your own, can be done slowly, but this forcible insertion of events means it’s reached a severity level that requires systematic formal investigation.

Tang Si pursed his lips, organizing his thoughts, "Since this happened to you, have you decided to report it?"

Ningxia Chuan furrowed his brows, glancing at Tang Si, reaching out to tug on Tang Si’s sleeve, signaling with his eyes to not lead towards filing a report.

Case 001 was inherently sensitive, people were reluctant to touch it.

The network of relationships and interests behind it was too vast.

Basically, those who tried to investigate deeply had already failed.

If you led in that direction, it would inevitably stir up a storm, and the scene and situation would become uncontrollable.

If it could be suppressed, that was best, to quietly observe and adapt.

Tang Si glanced at Ningxia Chuan, shook his head, indicating there was no issue.

Song Yi looked at him, "How was that case back then?"

"I can’t tell you," Tang Si’s tone was slow, "But when the time is right, I will."

"For now, the kidnapping is a criminal case, and this USB might be something to warn or threaten."

"If you file a case, an investigation can be conducted."

Song Yi listened, taking a deep breath, lowering her eyes.

What if this was a warning not to report?

However, if the other party knew about her investigating her parents, they would certainly know she had a criminal investigator boyfriend.

"Fine," Song Yi raised her head, "Report."

...

The case was taken over by Tang Si, and he handled the procedures.

Director Cheng called him to the office.

"I hope you won’t let emotions interfere with this case," Director Cheng looked at Tang Si, "Don’t let those things affect your judgment."

"You need to separate the public from the private. I trust your professional ability in this domain, which is why I’ve entrusted you with this investigation. You can’t have reservations due to Song Yi being your girlfriend."

"I understand," Tang Si responded calmly.

"I hope she also understands," Director Cheng’s tone was heavy, "I have high expectations for you and hope your future will be bright. Don’t disappoint me."

Tang Si smiled slightly, "I do my job."

He never bore others’ expectations in his work, especially not Director Cheng’s, nor in his professional duties.

Such responsibilities would bring enormous psychological burdens. Tang Si always understood how to balance these things.

Those who studied criminal law and worked in criminal investigations must not have too much emotional resonance, nor be too empathetic or emotional.

Such things are deadly to the officers investigating cases.

Excessive empathy towards victims or criminal suspects can affect one’s own professional judgment.

People working in this industry must learn to be rational. Sometimes, strong empathy is not a good thing. If every case involves one’s own emotions, one’s own emotions are bound to collapse.

In this matter, Tang Si has always done well, and Director Cheng has always had high hopes for him.

Because Tang Si has always been rational and sensible, others describe him as having cold blood, and his ways of handling cases are steady, accurate, and ruthless, making people feel at ease when cases are handed over to him.

But this time, Director Cheng is worried that he might act out of emotion.

However, he only briefly mentioned it, not saying much, knowing that Tang Si, being a smart person, could understand his meaning.

Director Cheng: "Song Yang was your captain in previous terms."

"The content on the U-disk must be studied thoroughly. Also, that person needs to be captured and investigated. These two points are crucial. What is the purpose behind this? What are their intentions?"

Director Cheng’s tone was heavy: "We still don’t know these things."

"Lead the team, hold a meeting, and sort out this case even though it may seem simple on the surface. But behind the scenes, there is definitely a conspiracy we don’t know about."

Director Cheng sighed: "The 001 case involves many people, and there are countless threads of connections. Without severing the ties of those involved, they may have revengeful intentions."

"Song Yi is their daughter, and her personal safety may be at risk." Director Cheng said, "These people are insane enough to do anything possible, so you must ensure her protection."

He looked at Tang Si, speaking sincerely: "You need to be careful as well. Don’t treat your life lightly. I’ve watched you grow, and I don’t want anything to happen to you."

Tang Si listened and then smiled, the expression on his face light and breezy, his tone apathetic, seemingly not too pessimistic about this matter: "I know. No worries, I’m tough."

Director Cheng observed him, looking him over and then inquiring: "I heard your health isn’t great lately, and you’re recuperating. Can you handle this case? Do you have the energy? If not, tell me in advance."

Tang Si leaned back lazily in his chair and replied with a smile: "Why are you always concerned about my health? How could I be incapable at my young age?"

Seeing his playful demeanor, Director Cheng did not pay much attention.

If this case were handed over to someone else, Tang Si wouldn’t feel at ease; he had to handle it himself.

Moreover, Director Cheng was right; Song Yi must be adequately protected.

The insane tactics of those people back then make it probable they’re still searching for Song Yi’s whereabouts.

Otherwise, why would Song Yang and his wife have sent Song Yi to Father Song?

Also, the family insisted Song Yi shouldn’t do any public-facing work, surely fearing she would be found by those people.

There’s undoubtedly a significant reason behind this.

...

In the meeting room.

Tang Si outlined the key points of this kidnapping case.

"The victim is Song Yi."

"She left the company to go eat, was kidnapped, drugged to confuse her mental state, walked to the police station, collapsed, holding a U-disk with only half the data on it."

"Now, investigate the origin of the U-disk and the people who kidnapped Song Yi."

"Xiachuan will assign the fieldwork tasks."

...

Tang Si finished the meeting and headed straight for the hospital.

Song Yi was still in the hospital, not discharged.

He had also arranged people to watch over Song Yi, ensuring nothing would happen to her.

When he arrived, Song Yi was looking down at a book, and hearing movement at the door, she immediately lifted her head.

Seeing Tang Si, she asked: "How is it going?"

"Not bad." Tang Si held the food in his hand, walked to the bedside, pulled up a chair, and sat down: "It’s under investigation, you’ll be informed of the results."

"If the investigation becomes extremely difficult, you can take a break. I’m not in a rush." Song Yi said: "Take your time."

"Hmm." Tang Si lowered his head, taking out the porridge, chuckling lightly: "Don’t worry about it."

"I’m mainly interested in knowing about the past. Perhaps there’s some secret about me, which is why those people are constantly looking for me, and my biological parents left me with my current parents, prohibiting me from engaging in public work. There must be some reason behind it." Song Yi’s confusion centered on this.

Tang Si knew the stakes of the 001 case, his brows relaxed: "Do we really have to find out, right?"

Song Yi nodded: "Ideally, yes."

But he could see the expectation in her eyes.

Tang Si held the spoon, feeding her porridge: "Call me brother, and your brother will investigate for you."

Song Yi took a bite: "You’re taking advantage."

Tang Si continued feeding, gazing at her with his peach blossom eyes: "Call me?"

Song Yi: "Brother."

"Say it sweeter."

"Brother~"

The man let out a low laugh, continuing to feed her: "So soft that it’s melting my bones."

His eyes were full of doting and tenderness.

Investigate it; eventually, someone needs to look into the 001 case. It can’t be suppressed indefinitely.

No matter the intricate web of relationships or the risks involved.

Tang Si fed Song Yi a lot, and Song Yi said: "I can’t eat anymore."

"But you have to eat." Tang Si said: "My little darling has to eat."

He glanced at Song Yi’s belly.

Actually, there’s one inside, taking nutrition from the mother.

Tang Si’s main concern was Song Yi’s body. She’s so delicate and fragile, how can she nurture another life?

His heart was tightly clasped.

To him, Song Yi was still a little girl.

When the little girl has a little one, his focus remains on Song Yi, the little girl.

Without her, nothing matters.

With her, anything can be forgone.

Song Yi was forced to eat a lot, feeling bloated.

Tang Si stayed with her in the hospital for quite a while, chatting a lot, with Song Yi’s lips never lowered in a smile.

Constantly smiling at Tang Si.

Tang Si saw her smile and followed suit.

Eventually, he received a call and had to leave.

"Is there news?"

"Yes, I’m going to check."

Somehow, Song Yi felt Tang Si’s departing back carried an intense sense of hostility and frigidity.

...

The call was from Zhou Liang, saying Ningxia Chuan had reviewed the surveillance and identified the person who covered Song Yi’s mouth and nose. In the footage, the person struck Song Yi’s neck, forcibly knocking her unconscious, with actions rough and violent.

Tang Si said: "Pin him down there; I’m coming right away."

"Not going to interrogate him at the bureau?"

Tang Si: "No."

...

In the dark night, a narrow alley.

The man was pinned down; at the alley’s entrance, a man walked swiftly, taking large steps as if carried by a fierce wind.

The hostility and somberness were overwhelming.

"Tang..." Zhou Liang started, but hadn’t begun speaking.

Tang Si grabbed the man under his hand and delivered a heavy punch to his face.
