Enchanting His Heart: His Little Fox-Chapter 302 - 303: Hotpot Is for Dining Out, Everything Else Is for Home

Chapter 302: Chapter 303: Hotpot Is for Dining Out, Everything Else Is for Home

A tingling sensation spread across her leg, like an electric current sweeping through her entire body.

Song Yi trembled slightly.

Her heart tightened as she turned her head slightly, looking at Tang Si’s profile.

She heard the man drawling, "What are you staring at me for, planning to eat me up?"

As he spoke, that hand was restless.

Song Yi pulled Tang Si’s hand away: "Focus on driving."

Tang Si withdrew his hand with a laugh, the laughter coming from his chest, with a slight tremor, low and ambiguous in the listener’s ear.

"We’ll eat hotpot outside, everything else, we’ll have at home."

"..." What a rogue.

Shortly after, Tang Si spoke leisurely again: "Just joking, your body can’t handle it."

"So, later on, we should go to the supermarket to buy some nutritional supplements to properly nourish you, and once you’re healed, get up and go jogging with me. You need to exercise regularly."

Song Yi’s lips moved slightly, ready to retort something.

As they waited for the red light, Tang Si stopped the car and turned his head to look at Song Yi, his eyes flashing a mischievous smile: "If not jogging, then maybe do some morning exercise."

"..." Song Yi: "Then jogging it is."

Certain exercises, if done at night, will be too taxing if repeated in the morning.

...

The car stopped in front of a hot pot restaurant.

The host at the entrance immediately came to greet them.

Just a bit surprised, why were all the luxury car owners coming here today?

Is our little shop going to be successful?

Tang Si glanced at the person, pulling up the corners of his mouth to smile: "Why? Is there a problem? Or do you know us to look at us like that?"

"No, no." The person quickly waved a hand: "Just felt that today’s customers are all quite prestigious or wealthy."

"Please come inside."

Tang Si glanced inside.

Looks like there’s a big shot in there too.

Going in with Song Yi, they found a seat to sit down.

As soon as Tang Si sat down, he lifted his eyes and looked across, coincidentally seeing a pair of eyes looking at him.

As he looked over, that gaze immediately retracted.

Song Yi was sitting to Tang Si’s left, he knocked on the table: "Your sister is across."

Song Yi immediately raised her head.

A bit stunned.

She hadn’t expected to meet Song Nuan here.

She had left the hospital after receiving Song Nuan’s text message back then.

But before she could get out, she was taken away by someone.

Maybe someone had hacked into Song Nuan’s phone, or else how could Song Nuan now be eating hotpot here so peacefully?

If the text was indeed sent by her, and Song Nuan didn’t show up, she should have called the police immediately.

"The person across from her is..."

Tang Si: "Gu Nanjiu."

He immediately made a judgment: "Your sister is being threatened by him."

"What?"

"Your sister’s actions and behavior from start to finish exuded unease and restraint, though she hides it well, her eyes are peaceful, but her subconscious actions can’t fool anyone."

Tang Si calmly analyzed: "Gu Nanjiu is the one who kidnapped you, wants your life, and he lured me to the shooting range, wanting my life too."

"And in the small village, though there’s no evidence to prove that the small village is his, we can suspect he’s the one who lured us both into the mountains to meet, intending for us both to die up there."

"But his plan failed, which led to this current plan."

"He approached your sister on purpose," Tang Si said, "just to have the opportunity to lure you out, then me."

"Judging by the layout of the shooting range, with low personnel movement and monitoring, if I wanted to kill someone, I’d choose that location because it’s untraceable. After all, the shooting range is on the mountainside."

"After Gu Nanjiu lured you out using your sister, if you had an accident, or I did, he wouldn’t be implicated because he has an alibi with you, and currently, he seems to be just a teacher, without any motive against us."

"I have to say, his methods are clever."

But unfortunately, he failed twice.

The first time was Song Yi’s unexpected house bombing.

The second time was Tang Si’s escape, Song Yi’s suddenly increased combat ability, which failed again.

Now, Gu Nanjiu is probably feeling very frustrated and dissatisfied.

The second chance was a perfect opportunity, but regrettably, it did not meet expectations.

"So now, to convict Gu Nanjiu, we need evidence, don’t we?" Song Yi asked with a frown.

"Yes." Tang Si: "He has cleaned up everything thoroughly, leaving no trace, and he always stays behind the scenes, making it very difficult to catch any evidence against him."

"Also, what I said is all my conjecture and reasoning, only these can make sense. He and I must have crossed paths before, perhaps he holds a grudge against me, but I’ve handled too many cases, my memory of Gu Nanjiu is vague."

"I don’t even know when I crossed paths with him, but to the point of him wanting my life, it must have been something serious." Tang Si skillfully tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Criminals are always like this, endlessly disgusting, their methods catching you off guard."

"Organized, if you solve one, there’s always another." Tang Si stared at Gu Nanjiu’s back, his eyes deep, his tone cold: "Indeed, like a centipede that’s dead but not stiff."

Song Yi quietly listened to Tang Si finish speaking.

"He wants both of our lives." Song Yi glanced at Gu Nanjiu’s back: "But why must he kill us together to be satisfied."

Tang Si held the cup, gently sipped some tea: "We are lovers."

He looked at Song Yi, smiling: "Maybe he’s attempting to play some psychological torturing tactic."

"Such as, making us believe the other has betrayed us."

"Or, making us misunderstand the other, turning love into hate, or even, make us pick up a knife, or whatever, to kill each other."

"These are common psychological torture tactics, driving people to the brink of collapse." Tang Si’s tone was very bland: "But what I’ve said, counts as a more relaxed category."

Song Yi felt her heart tighten as she listened.

Psychological torture is about making a person wander in constant despair.

Grinding a person’s mental state over and over, pushing them toward madness.

Just like... just like when she was kidnapped as a child.

Thinking she was saved, only to fall into another dark abyss, time and again.

Hence the psychological shadow she left, almost driven insane, her entire mental state on the verge of collapse.

It was the rebellious youngster, arrogantly storming in, who saved her...

Song Yi raised her eyes: "Then..."

Tang Si put down the cup, stood up: "Then let’s go meet Gu Nanjiu now."
