Enchanting His Heart: His Little Fox-Chapter 297: Flirting in Public

Zhou Liang just came out of the criminal investigation team and arrived at this location.

Upon arrival, he saw Ningxia Chuan busy.

"Deputy Ning." Zhou Liang walked over, "What are you up to?"

Ningxia Chuan’s cold voice responded, "Tear gas. The suspect might have escaped through the sewer."

"Is the interrogation record done on Song Nuan’s side?" Ningxia Chuan asked.

"Yeah." Zhou Liang replied, "But that little girl looks innocent, yet she’s quite clever. She knows our intention and thinks we’re suspecting her of kidnapping her sister."

"Honestly, I don’t know what’s going on in Captain Tang’s mind, pretending to suspect Song Nuan? That’s too far-fetched."

Ningxia Chuan was readying tear gas in the car, unsealing it: "Gu Nanjiu and Song Nuan went to the shooting range together. It’s possible they are accomplices."

"Moreover, assuming the mastermind is Gu Nanjiu, then his trip to the shooting range was probably an alibi."

"And contacting Song Yi through Song Nuan was actually an attempt to pin the blame on her."

"So we can reasonably suspect Song Nuan kidnapped Song Yi."

Ningxia Chuan spoke coldly as Zhou Liang watched his neat, orderly movements.

He did everything so methodically that it seemed like nothing was a big deal to him.

Suddenly, Zhou Liang reached out and poked Ningxia Chuan’s arm.

Ningxia Chuan looked up coldly at him.

Zhou Liang grinned, "You look pretty cool when you’re analyzing a case, though not as cool as me."

"I also noticed you’re not as annoying as I thought, you answer everything."

Zhou Liang initially thought this guy was cold and unapproachable, always acting aloof, uninterested in engaging with anyone.

So Zhou Liang didn’t want to deal with him.

But recently, he realized the guy wasn’t that icy cold; he was actually responsive to any questions asked, answering as long as he could.

Ningxia Chuan frowned, not used to someone praising him in such a sarcastic manner.

He pursed his lips, holding two tear gas canisters, "Move aside."

With that, he bumped into Zhou Liang, who hadn’t set up any defense, and the man’s strength was overwhelming. He bumped into his shoulder.

Zhou Liang staggered back two steps and tripped over a rock.

Lost his balance.

"Hey, hey, hey—!" Zhou Liang exclaimed.

Instinctively reaching to grab something, he clutched Ningxia Chuan’s collar in a flurry.

Ningxia Chuan, caught off guard, was pulled down.

Both of them fell to the ground.

The tear gas canisters bounced a couple of times...

Activated...

"Ow—ah—!" Zhou Liang yelled twice.

The first was from the pain of falling, the second from being crushed.

Their faces were so close they could hear each other’s breathing and see the pores on each other’s faces.

Zhou Liang stared at the face so close to him, his heart skipped a beat, and he was momentarily speechless.

The commotion was so loud that Tang Si must have heard it.

Turning around, he saw smoke everywhere.

Two figures on the ground; Tang Si frowned, covering his nose and mouth as he walked over.

Once he understood the situation.

Tang Si looked down at Ningxia Chuan and Zhou Liang.

He kicked at them: "You two are getting cozy in public and using my tear gas for cover, huh?"

They both jumped up at once.

Ningxia Chuan got up swiftly.

The unlucky Zhou Liang climbed up shakily.

"Boss, it’s not my fault, Deputy Ning pushed me, I grabbed him, and somehow, probably because I’m too heavy, pulled him down too."

"So, is there any more tear gas, or should we get some more?"

Ningxia Chuan: "There isn’t any left."

Tang Si didn’t have the time to argue about right or wrong with them.

"Strictly control the sewer exit, I’m going down to take a look now."

Zhou Liang quickly composed himself and said, "Boss, I’ll go down with you. What if there are lots of people down there, and you can’t handle them alone?"

"Stay here and report everything to me. If I really encounter many people down there, I might still have some fighting power, but with you..."

"I think my chances would be halved."

Zhou Liang: "...It’s not nice to insult people like that. I may be a bit weak, but I’m not that bad, right?"

Tang Si turned towards the sewer entrance: "Zhou Liang, you still don’t have a good grasp of yourself. To put it simply, using gaming terms, you’re not just weak, you’re a liability."

Zhou Liang: "..."

Before he could say anything in defense, Tang Si had already gone down.

He looked at Ningxia Chuan, "Was I just thoroughly mocked?"

Ningxia Chuan shook his head, expressionless.

Zhou Liang: "I knew you’d be on my side."

"No, what I mean is, that’s not mockery, that’s the truth."

"...?!"

Ningxia Chuan, uninterested in talking further, turned to handle his tasks.

Zhou Liang managed to say after a moment, "You two are heartless!"

Since both of them were his superiors, he couldn’t insult them too much, especially given their special jobs.

...

In the sewer.

It was so dim that almost nothing could be seen, only the stench and dampness.

Song Yi, breathless and nearly exhausted.

She couldn’t collapse, even if it meant dying, she wouldn’t die in this filthy sewer.

"Tap—" Song Yi thought she heard a slight footstep, then it disappeared.

Her whole heart jumped, backing away cautiously, eyes vigilant.

Staring intently at the corner.

If it was Gu Nanjiu coming... what should she do?

Song Yi clenched her teeth and closed her eyes.

If it was Tang Si... what would he do in such a situation?

Would he have many strategies to deal with it?

Song Yi believed he would stay calm, countering each move with another.

She stepped forward toward the corner, her back against the sewer wall, holding her breath.

She held a shoelace in her hand.

She tried to steady her emotions.

Gradually, Song Yi felt someone getting closer.

She gritted her teeth—

3!

2!

1!

She instantly raised her hand, the shoelace tightening around the person’s neck—
