Gu Yong squinted as he looked over: "Why do you ask, little brother?"
Tang Yanqing lowered his head: "I think I must have missed so details: You said you were imprisoned and released 15 tis, surely it wasn’t Shi Haoran who caught you every ti?"
It was only at this mont that he realized he had made a common mistake. He had used M Country’s detailed classification of police types to speculate about China’s situation, assuming Shi Haoran belonged to the major cris unit, and that the ordinary public security cases that Gu Yong was involved in wouldn’t be under Shi Haoran’s jurisdiction, so they shouldn’t even have the chance to cross paths.
Yet he forgot that in the setup of China’s police departnts, the major cris unit is a relatively new concept, currently only available in police departnts of cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Wuhan, and other direct-controlled municipalities and provincial capitals. In cities like Yun City, police departnts are not divided so finely.
Gu Yong laughed with sadness: "You said ’I’ve been imprisoned 15 tis’, I rember I didn’t tell you that, I only said my na is Da Yong."
Tang Yanqing chuckled softly: "Are you still trying to hide your identity in front of ? Forget it. I know you are ’Gu Cheng’."
Gu Yong felt a wave of coldness rise in his heart and nodded: "That’s right, I am Gu Cheng. And the one who arrested 15 tis, ruining my reputation, making a mouse crossing the street forever, is Shi Haoran!"
With that said, Tang Yanqing completely understood.
——Why Gu Yong was originally helping him "tie up" Shi Nian, but instead, Gu Yong was detaining Shi Nian, even at the risk of cutting off contact with him.
It turns out that he was the one who personally handed her over to her father’s enemy.
The sudden realization twisted his organs in pain, even breathing tugged at his ribs, the pain was excruciating.
"So, what’s your plan for this setup?" He endured the heartache, raised his eye, and stared at Gu Yong.
Gu Yong then laughed: "Now, I have Shi Haoran’s daughter in my hands, she is the best bait. So let’s just set up a trap to lure Shi Haoran in. After all these years, we should finally settle accounts between us."
Tang Yanqing snorted: "That’s simple, you could send a call or letter to the police station and get Shi Haoran here."
Gu Yong laughed heartily, reaching out to pat Tang Yanqing’s shoulder: "That’s the conventional way. If I wanted to do it that way, I would’ve done it already, without bringing you in, little brother."
"I know the consequences of doing it that way, it would be tantamount to exposing my location, and it would bring not just Shi Haoran, but a whole squad of officers along. I’d be dood then."
Tang Yanqing understood: "You want here to help you design a setup that can lure Shi Haoran in but also prevents him from bringing officers along."
"Well said," Gu Yong smiled in approval: "You’ll help , won’t you?"
Gun Si glanced over at Tang Yanqing: "Since you’re already inside, and know our plan, you have two paths before you: either obediently follow Brother Yong’s orders, or die."
Tang Yanqing looked back at Gu Yong and Gun Si, then laughed loudly after a long ti: "No need to worry. I wouldn’t be so foolish to seek death myself. Besides, I ca to help friends just for fun this ti, there’s no way I’d let myself die here."
"So you’re agreeing?" Gu Yong also felt a pleased surprise.
"Yes, I agree." Tang Yanqing raised his brows and smiled brightly at Gu Yong: "What reason do I have not to agree?"
"If Shi Haoran captures you, then he’ll grab too, and he’ll know I’m involved in designing the virtual case over the past three years... What benefit is there for ? From this standpoint, Gu Cheng, we’re on the sa side."
Gu Yong heard this and laughed aloud: "Well said, we’re on the sa side. If we’re caught, neither of us should expect to survive!"
Tang Yanqing nodded slowly: "Leave the setup to . But I have a condition."
Gu Yong squinted at him: "What condition?"
Tang Yanqing sighed: "You people in the underworld prioritize loyalty; I’m the sa. I ca to China this ti to help a friend, for Yan Qi. So the girl Yan Qi wants, before Yan Qi arrives, I have to keep an eye on her."
"Regardless of whether she is Shi Haoran’s daughter, before Yan Qi shows up, I must ensure she remains safe. Our grudge with Shi Haoran can be settled with Shi Haoran, but it actually has nothing to do with his daughter."
Gu Yong slowly nodded: "You want to leave that girl alone. No problem, I’m only using her as bait. As long as Shi Haoran arrives, pays with his life, I’ll naturally let her go."
Tang Yanqing nodded: "I trust Gu Cheng, you’ll keep your word. But if I can’t see it with my own eyes, I won’t be at ease. So my condition is: you need to let that girl follow . I must see her safety with my own eyes."
"What a joke!" Xiao Mao flared up at once: "Brother Yong already said she’s the bait, we have to keep her locked up. Letting her follow you, what sense does that make?"
Tang Yanqing raised an arrogant eyebrow, her long eyes provocatively staring at Gu Yong: "If you don’t agree, then I’m not playing this ga. If you think killing will benefit you more, then go ahead and do it."
Gu Yong tilted his head and glanced at Xiao Mao, who dropped his head, then suddenly made a swift move, a switchblade falling from his sleeve into his palm, the blade clicked open. As he lunged, the blade aid at Tang Yanqing!
Tang Yanqing’s thin lips curled into a contemptuous arc, her upper body swayed slightly, dodging Xiao Mao’s attack, and with a sudden move of her foot, she kicked straight at Xiao Mao’s waist and abdon!
Xiao Mao’s lunging posture relied entirely on his waist and abdon to control strength and balance, so he quickly withdrew his force to protect himself, yet lost his upper hand. Allowing Tang Yanqing to grab his hair with one hand and with a quick twist, push him directly towards Gun Si!
Gun Si was startled, and though he wanted to react, it was too late. He was pushed against the wall along with Xiao Mao by Tang Yanqing. Tang Yanqing wrenched her wrist, seizing Xiao Mao’s switchblade, and held the blade horizontally against Xiao Mao and Gun Si’s throats.
With just a slash, the tracheas of both would be severed.
Xiao Mao and Gun Si cried out together, desperately looking back at Gu Yong.
Tang Yanqing glanced leisurely back at Gu Yong: "I’m just worried for you, afraid that killing isn’t that simple, and then I’d take care of a few of you in the process. If I successfully escape from your bunker afterward, do you think I wouldn’t report to the police imdiately and bring officers here to raid your den?"
There was a chill in Gu Yong’s gaze.
After two minutes, he suddenly clapped and laughed: "Brother, what impressive skills! Don’t misunderstand, don’t misunderstand, I just wanted to test Brother’s skills and courage. I now understand, treating Brother as a partner is much better than as an enemy."
Tang Yanqing snorted and released Xiao Mao and Gun Si. They scurried back to Gu Yong’s side, their eyes filled with terror.
Gu Yong, arms crossed, pondered for a mont: "How about this, it’s getting late anyway, we’ve been at it the whole night, let’s take a break first. Brother, let think it over, I’ll give you an answer first thing tomorrow morning."
Tang Yanqing raised an eyebrow: "Okay."
.
Gu Yong led Xiao Mao and Gun Si out, with the two chattering nonstop: "Brother Yong, this kid is too dangerous, he can’t just hit us for nothing!"
Gu Yong glanced back at them with annoyance: "Who told you two to be useless and get hit, it’s your own fault!"
Returning to his room, Gu Yong thought for a long ti, finally, he frustratedly went online.
To his disappointnt, Smiling Face wasn’t there.
Helpless, he could only post his query: "Dear experts, does anyone know a good way to prevent people locked together from communicating?"
Without Smiling Face’s help translating, he didn’t care much and posted directly in Chinese. He could only hope that there were Chinese or people who understood Chinese to answer him.
He hadn’t held too high of any expectations, but to his surprise, soone responded within minutes.
The person used traditional Chinese characters: "It’s actually simple, the primary senses people most instinctively rely on are sight and hearing. When people are locked together, just make sure they can’t see or speak to each other."
"The simplest thod throughout history has been to blindfold and gag. Haven’t you seen all those cop and robber dramas? It’s always portrayed like that."
Gu Yong frowned. He certainly knew about blindfolding and gagging; he had previously used this thod on "Yan Qi" and Shi Nian. But he was worried this thod wouldn’t work on Tang Yanqing.
After all, he still needed sothing from that young man, and using such a thod would surely displease him.
"So there’s no other way?" He further inquired: "If I don’t want to use the blindfold and gag thod, what should I do?"
Soone else answered: "That’s simple, just fundantally isolate visual and auditory senses. If you can’t blindfold the eyes, then simply make the surroundings dark enough that they can’t see anything."
This was simple, especially since they were already in the basent. Once the lights were off, it would be pitch black.
"But what about speaking? What thod can make it so soone can’t speak?"
Gu Yong’s persistence attracted a host of netizens, and the thread’s participant count started to rise.
Then user A answered: "If you want soone to permanently be unable to speak, you’d have to do a vocal cord surgery. Or, cut off the tongue."
