Enchanting His Heart: His Little Fox

Chapter 488 - 486: Children with an Older Brother Are Always Protected

"So the motive for the crime is very important," the man’s voice was calm and magnetic.

Song Yi listened intently.

"When I went to the bathroom, he sent someone to follow me. That person wanted to kill me, and all this is enough proof. And, why do you seem off regarding this question?"

Song Yi was jolted awake instantly.

"Oh." Song Yi: "You mentioned before, the captain died in the cockpit."

Tang Si had said so.

Song Yi breathed out a sigh, realizing her intelligence was really not functioning.

Suddenly, the man’s large hand grasped hers.

Song Yi’s hand was cool, very icy.

"Still peeling an orange." Tang Si wrapped her hand in his large one, blew some warm breath, and gently rubbed it to warm her hand: "Since that incident just happened, there’s been no warmth."

Song Yi felt her hand gradually warming, becoming cozy. She adjusted her breathing and her mindset.

But outwardly, there were no anomalies, hiding her emotions tightly.

Right in front, Tang Si lowered his head to warm her hand, looking serious, so handsome she couldn’t find words to describe.

At this moment, the man raised his eyes to look at her: "Frightened, aren’t you?"

His voice was especially gentle.

Warm.

That question caused her eyes to instantly sour; clearly, she wasn’t aggrieved, yet suddenly she felt very wronged.

This truly was a peculiar emotion.

Maybe she thought she could be tough, but when someone exposes her facade, she just wants to cry.

Song Yi turned her head away: "No."

"Still not?" Tang Si’s voice carried a chuckle, holding her hand with one and turning her head back to face him: "Come, let big brother see how scared my good girl is."

Not very old, yet so good at hiding emotions.

And Tang Si was someone who, through every detail, subtly drew out your emotions.

He didn’t expose them all at once, but slowly, with a rhythmic progression.

Such exposure doesn’t make people feel uncomfortable, instead giving a feeling akin to a gentle drizzle moistening everything silently.

So gentle, before she thought Tang Si was wild and lazy, calm and introverted, yet meticulous, but now to her, he was a detailed rough guy.

Truly unexpected, he was this gentle.

Though usually he was mild, within that mildness, there was always a touch of mischief.

"Really not scared." Tang Si squeezed her cheek: "Even if you’re scared, you don’t have to hide."

"Little sister with brother will be protected."

Song Yi was amused to laughter, her whole body seemed to relax at this moment.

He always quickly and accurately found and pinpointed people’s emotions, striking at the right time and place.

Song Yi carefully felt the warmth from his hand, her curled eyelashes trembled slightly: "Actually, not really scared, just felt it was a bit incredible."

"But if it were someone else on this ship with me today, I’d be all confused."

Because not everyone is like Tang Si, calm and able to steady those around him.

Song Yi raised her eyes, looking at the man who was calm and serene, like a gift from the gods, solitary in the world, unmatched, appearing dignified and noble, unmatched in composure.

But... all this was just the facade he put up...

Song Yi sniffed, pushing down all those emotions in her heart: "Tell me the truth, are you really not afraid?"

"What good would fear do?" Tang Si’s voice came softly: "Even afraid, one must face it, right?"

"Be optimistic, be clear, sometimes you must deceive yourself a bit, then everything might turn out better, it might really get better."

Song Yi knew that self-hypnosis was also a technique.

But one can’t be hypnotized forever; at the right time, one must wake up, realize the grave situation, to become a good leader.

Otherwise, blindly believing everything will turn out well is an act of ignorance.

"Moreover, this isn’t anything much." Tang Si smiled: "You’re correct not to be afraid."

Even if he feared, there were times he must appear composed because he was the leader of the team; if he panicked, how could he lead the team?

"Mm." Song Yi sorted out her emotions, suddenly realizing that in their line of work, strong psychological qualities are necessary.

This is a profession that involves facing life and death.

Different from business’s deceit and trickery.

Here, there’s both deceit and trickery, and facing life and death directly.

"Continue talking about what’s next."

He held her tightly in his arms like comforting a child.

Song Yi felt quite at ease, she could be protected.

"The captain is fake, proving he had his motives. He was alive when the cruise started, but after the inspection, they killed this captain."

"How did this group get onboard through ticket inspection?" Tang Si said: "Here is the center city, regulations are extremely strict, so to get onboard, either they swam onboard from somewhere else, bought tickets and passed inspection, or snuck onboard through special means."

"Based on their modus operandi, they can be ruled out from passing inspection because all locations during ticketing have records. Since they boarded and killed, they obviously wouldn’t use their true identity to buy tickets."

Tang Si: "And once a person died, the ship is heading towards the so-called sea of death. When the captain came out, he calmly told us to return to our rooms, they would investigate the truth."

"There will definitely be more incidents, he might be targeting me, or perhaps you."

Tang Si pursed his lips, having a bold guess in his heart: "Or maybe, he’s targeting the two of us."

Song Yi wasn’t particularly interested in who they were targeting, regardless, the two of them were safe now, and very likely would face the scene like they just did with that person.

"Do you know how that person died?" Song Yi raised her head to look at him.

Even though she had asked this before, she felt Tang Si had the answer.

If it was poisoning, it would be too obvious, but if not poisoning, by what means could someone die at the dining table, bleeding from the seven orifices?

Tang Si: "Not very sure."

Song Yi was particularly curious: "Then why?"

"Ultrasound," Tang Si slowly answered: "This is just an initial guess, ultrasound can be directed, resulting in that person’s state just now."

Song Yi: "If the person’s death was due to ultrasound, would the captain do that to scare all of us?"

"Ah—!" Just as Song Yi spoke, a bizarre scream echoed from the room next door.

As if a cold wind enveloped everything, surrounding it, chilling—
