Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 620 - 462, (2nd update)

Finally returned to M Country.

At the airport, An Cheng, on behalf of the local prosecutor’s office, Jia Tianzi and Tang Yan Yi, representing the police, were already waiting on the tarmac.

Shi Nian picked up Jieyou, and Tang Yanqing stepped forward to drape a coat over both of them. He glanced back at Tang Yanxi: "Can you handle it?"

Tang Yanxi snorted, his gaze sweeping over James, who was sitting to the side: "Go mind your own business. Taking care of two is enough to keep you busy."

Tang Yanqing also glanced at James: "Then you’re also looking after two."

"More than enough." Tang Yanxi folded his fingers, giving Tang Yanqing a look.

Tang Yanqing then smiled, leaning over to whisper in Tang Yanxi’s ear: "I understand, walking George down the steps under the watchful eyes of An Cheng and handing him over, is indeed a matter of pride."

Tang Yanxi looked straight ahead, his face devoid of any extra expression, only offering his brother two words: "Get lost."

Tang Yanqing stood up with a smile, raised his eyebrows at James, then turned to wrap his arm around Shi Nian’s shoulder, and together they escorted Jieyou off the plane.

The cabin gradually emptied, and only then did Tang Yanxi tilt his head to look at James: "If you’re not willing to see your brother handed over to the police, you still have time for one last effort. Once you’re off the steps, you’ll have no chance."

James’ blue eyes filled with a cold mist: "What, is the always elegant and noble Lawyer Tang actually challenging me? It’s a pity I’m not interested in verbal battles or denouncing others."

"You’re overthinking it." Tang Yanxi tilted his head, squinting with a light smile: "You set the rules, I’ll accompany you."

"Oh?" James was slightly taken aback.

If these words came from Tang Yanqing, he wouldn’t be surprised, but hearing them from Tang Yanxi was indeed unexpected.

Tang Yanxi still sat upright, calmly looking out the window: "The time for you to hesitate is running out. If you don’t give any opinions soon, I’ll take George off the plane to the prosecutor."

James suddenly chuckled, lowering his gaze to look at his pale, slender fingers: "According to Lawyer Tang, I surely need to fight Lawyer Tang for George?"

"Not necessarily." Tang Yanxi shrugged: "It’s all up to your choice. If you think we should fight, then we’ll fight. After all, between siblings, maybe only by fighting will you not feel guilty watching him executed later."

James sneered: "Forget it, I’m not falling for it. This isn’t a place that lacks justice; we’re in M Country’s land now. If I fight a lawyer over a suspect on a plane in front of the prosecutors and police, I’m the only one who will suffer."

"Then it’s the perfect excuse for the prosecutor’s office and the police to investigate me as well. You’re clever, Lawyer Tang, but I won’t take this bait."

Saying that, James put his hands in his pockets and stood up, not even glancing at George left in the last row’s corner, and walked straight towards the exit. At the door, he roughly glanced back.

"If saving him was the goal, I wouldn’t have needed to travel. Since I’ve returned, Lawyer Tang shouldn’t have asked me like that just now."

With those words, James got off the plane.

Tang Yanxi still sat upright, his ten slender fingers interlocked. Only when James disappeared from view did he stand up unhurriedly.

Approaching George, George’s face was filled with venom.

Tang Yanxi calmly, almost gently, met his gaze: "Actually, those beetles won’t kill you, because they’re scavengers. They aren’t that interested in you before you’re dead."

"But even though the bugs won’t kill you, I originally intended for you to die. Let me tell you now, my original plan was to sell you to Isee, and then use the money from selling you to buy a water purification system for the refugees, so those little girls could live better in that temporary home."

"And I’d negotiate with Isee to have you die by fire too. Li Le Wen died in the fire, and I think you should too, so you could be together in the afterlife."

"You..." George was pale with fright.

Tang Yanxi untied his bonds, speaking slowly: "But then I met your brother. It wasn’t just James, but also Huangfu Huazhang. James did us a favor, which made me decide to let you live a few more days; and Huangfu Huazhang’s death made me think it’s better to bring you back for trial. Otherwise, if you also died, all those past events would indeed have been his sole sins."

George gritted his teeth: "I’d rather die!"

Tang Yanxi nodded with a smile: "I understand, of course you’d rather die. Finally having your revenge, you could leave with a smile. It’s just a shame you met me."

.

Tang Yanxi gracefully escorted George off the plane, and personally handed him over to An Cheng.

Jia Tianzi and others approached to help An Cheng escort George into the police car. An Cheng squinted and stared at Tang Yanxi.

"Why are you the one escorting George down? You’re just a lawyer, and you don’t have the authority. What does Tang Yanqi mean? How can he disregard his duties and just accompany his wife and kids, without even looking at me?"

Tang Yanxi shrugged lightly in the sunlight: "You’ve forgotten, Yanqing is no longer an officer. He has no obligation to do what you wish."

"Besides, George is my catch. It was I who captured him, so why shouldn’t I be the one to escort him down personally?"

An Cheng folded her arms, avoiding his gaze.

The sunlight on the tarmac was somewhat glaring; she disliked always having to look up at this man.

"Tsk, even if Tang Yanqi is not an officer, it’s only temporary. With Shi Nian’s clear preference, won’t he return to reapply for his position?"

"As for you, Lawyer Tang, I don’t care what you did outside the territory of M Country, but now that you’re back in M Country, I have the obligation to remind you: you are just a lawyer, you don’t have the authority to do this. And within M Country’s borders, if you have ever harmed a suspect, I reserve the right to hold you accountable."

Tang Yanxi squinted his eyes.

An Cheng smiled brightly: "Surprised? If you feel surprised, that’s your own issue. Prosecutors and lawyers are natural enemies; how could you forget that?"

After speaking, An Cheng laughed and turned around, walking away gracefully in ten-centimeter heels.

She walked away without looking back, thus missing the subtle smile slowly forming on Tang Yanxi’s lips.

.

Not only George, but also Xia Zuo, Senmu, and others returned on the same flight.

The two saw from a distance George being taken away by the police.

The two exchanged a glance and swiftly followed Shi Nian.

Tang Yanqing accompanied Shi Nian and Jieyou into a car, while Xia Zuo and Senmu flagged down a taxi to follow them. They escorted Shi Nian and Jieyou back to Shi Nian’s house, watching as they entered the house and closed the door before reluctantly deciding to leave.

Unexpectedly, the house door suddenly reopened, and Shi Nian came out.

The two hesitated but still pushed open the car door and stepped forward, bowing respectfully to Shi Nian.

Even though the gentleman is no longer here, they still must honor the respect he entrusted to them for the young lady.

Shi Nian, having barely suppressed her grief, felt it surge again. She lowered her eyes, tears silently falling: "Thank you both for escorting me all the way. Even though the gentleman is no longer here and you initially wouldn’t need to show me courtesy, you were once the closest people to him, so I still have something to tell you."

The two exchanged a glance, hesitated slightly, and nodded.

Shi Nian wiped away her tears, choking back sobs: "Until the end, the gentleman couldn’t manage to come back... He had his own constraints, but he certainly wouldn’t want you to be like him. So I hope, while you still have the chance, please come back. I’m sure this is what the gentleman hoped for before he passed."

Xia Zuo and Senmu exchanged another glance, both bowing their heads and shedding tears.

Shi Nian took a breath: "I know you are also worried about Jieyou. Jieyou is still young and will definitely need you in the future. So on behalf of Jieyou, I make this promise: once you return, as long as you wish, I will ensure you can come back to work by Jieyou’s side."

Only then did Xia Zuo and Senmu bow deeply.

The gentleman is gone, but the gentleman’s bloodline remains. They couldn’t accompany the gentleman on his final journey, but they naturally hope to continue staying by the young lady’s side.

Initially they worried Shi Nian wouldn’t agree, or might think of letting Jieyou stay far away from them due to her youth. Unexpectedly, Shi Nian was so magnanimous.

Xia Zuo couldn’t help but ask: "Did the young lady ask about the gentleman? How did the young miss respond?"

Shi Nian nodded, and slowly said: "Although Jieyou is young, she’s already at the age where she should know the truth. So I didn’t lie; I told her that Daddy left to save Mommy, and went to heaven—a place forever filled with sunlight, very warm, where Daddy will watch over her and accompany her as she grows."

Xia Zuo again shed tears, bowing: "The young miss and young lady take care. We are going to the police station to turn ourselves in now. If we are fortunate enough to be released early, we will definitely return by the young lady’s side, on behalf of the gentleman, to accompany her as she grows."
