Chapter 264: Chapter 264 - The Man Who Has Love in His Heart
The arrested members seemed to be brainwashed . No matter how the police interrogated them, they refused to sell out their leader .
“Is Xiangxiang in danger now?” He Wei frowned .
“This is a profile our psychological experts gave . ” Captain Luo gave a document to Yun Xiangxiang . “This man is highly intelligent, a master of disguise, and very affable . Nobody would suspect him of anything . He’s also a cruel and vindictive individual . ”
The police gleaned their characteristics through the previous heists . They already had everyone that matched the list of characteristics, save for the head honcho .
“The only trait this man has is his jewelry obsession . ” Captain Luo continued, “We’ve cordoned off their base and investigated the members’ financial situations . ”
They had committed more than four heists over ten years . Every time they had a new member, they would be given an initiation mission . But since the execution was different, nobody was able to link them together .
Their assets reached eight figures in terms of value . They had more than enough money, yet they kept on doing the heists . That meant they were not in it just for the money .
“We’ll find out where the stolen jewelry went . Hopefully, we can get more clues . ” Captain Luo proposed, “Miss Yun, I suggest that you accept our protection . ”
“I want you to protect my family . ” Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t worried about herself . “Also, can I see that security guard?”
Captain Luo hesitated, but he agreed in the end . “I’ll make the arrangements . ”
These people were caught red-handed . They had not stood trial yet, but it wouldn’t be long until they did . The security guard was called Dai Hua .
Yun Xiangxiang sat opposite him . He kept quiet, nor did he look at Yun Xiangxiang .
“Do you know why I suspected you?” Yun Xiangxiang asked .
Dai Hua kept his head down, pretending Yun Xiangxiang did not exist .
“Because your gaze is calm,” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t mind his silence .
Dai Hua looked at Yun Xiangxiang with mockery in his eyes .
“I’m confident in my looks . I don’t think anyone wouldn’t be surprised when they see me for the first time,” Yun Xiangxiang talked as if he was a friend . “Unless their view on aesthetics is different . ”
There might be loads of perverts in the world, but there were also people who would be unfazed by beauty .
But those who were unfazed and unsurprised were rare, especially for those who lived at the bottom of society, where beauty was a rare sight . They would need an incredible will to look at beauty as if it were a regular thing .
“You could ignore my looks even at your subconscious level . I think you must have some history,” Yun Xiangxiang probed .
She wasn’t narcissistic, but humans were visual animals, including her . Even when she didn’t have any ideas toward Song Mian when she first met him, she would still look at him from time to time .
Everyone loved beautiful things .
Yun Xiangxiang wouldn’t make this guess if Dai Hua grew up with gorgeous ladies around him just like He Shen was .
But Dai Hua didn’t grow up like that . That reaction to Yun Xiangxiang, or lack thereof, was out of the norm . That only meant one thing: Dai Hua had his own irreplaceable, most beautiful woman he cherished .
When a dedicated man met their unforgettable love, nobody else would be able to enter their sights .
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t think a guy who could ignore other girls just for his one true love would be too bad .
“Is she gorgeous?” Yun Xiangxiang talked about his lover .
“Not as much as you,” Dai Hua finally spoke . He had a gentle voice .
“You have someone you love dearly . I’m curious as to what drove you to crime . ”
Dai Hua was silent again . Only Yun Xiangxiang and Dai Hua were in the room . The silence in the claustrophobic space was depressing .
Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t in a hurry . She waited patiently . After ten minutes or so, Dai Hua spoke .
His voice was hoarse . There was also despair in it, “Her illness needs a lot of money to be treated . ”
“What illness?” Yun Xiangxiang asked .
Dai Hua glanced at her . “I don’t know either . I remember something about myelophthisis . ”
Yun Xiangxiang started paying attention to some diseases after she knew Song Mian . Whenever Song Mian was working beside her, she would take a look at the documents . Myelophthisis was a blood-related disease .
It referred to an anemia in which the hematopoietic function was impaired because of the bone marrow being displaced by fibrosis, tumors, or granulomas .
“What caused it?” Yun Xiangxiang asked gently .
Yun Xiangxiang’s concern warmed Dai Hua’s heart . He wasn’t as angry anymore . “Tumor . ”
“The bone marrow is displaced by a tumor?” Yun Xiangxiang added .
“Yes . ”
Yun Xiangxiang’s heart sank . Song Mian mentioned this disease before . If a tumor caused it, then the chances of treatment would be slim .
“Can you tell me which hospital she’s in?” Yun Xiangxiang asked .
Dai Hua got his guard up .
Yun Xiangxiang looked at him, “I know an amazing doctor . I can’t guarantee a successful treatment, but I will help wherever I can . ”
“What do you need me to do?” Dai Hua didn’t think Yun Xiangxiang would lie to him .
“You know what I need you to do,” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t hide her motive .
Dai Hua lowered his head . His hands were rubbing against the chilly cuffs . “I want your help, I do . Even if it’s hopeless, but I can’t lie to you for that . To be honest, I don’t have the right to contact the boss right now . I only saw him from the back before, but…”
Dai Hua recalled something, “He wears a thumb ring . Brother Zhan said that the boss loves this jade ring the most . He told them that the ring was his reason for existence . He would rather die than lose it . ”
“In other words, he would never take it off unless he is dead . ”
“Tell me, where is she?” Yun Xiangxiang asked again .
Dai Hua knew who “she” meant . ” He looked at her in puzzlement, “Why?”
She didn’t have any reason to help him . He didn’t have any more clues that he could give .
“You are a cautious person . Why did you tell the cops you know I leaked your operation?”
They would have succeeded if not because of her . He knew his partners had their eyes on Yun Xiangxiang, but he still told the police to remind Yun Xiangxiang of the danger .
“You haven’t fully turned your back on your conscience . ”
