Chapter 372 Double happiness comes to the door 368 times

"Ring, ring, ring..." On the luxurious and massive desk, a wood and metal phone combining elegance and functionality began to ring.

Harry rubbed his somewhat sore eyes, grabbed the phone, and his tired eyes suddenly bulged, "What did you say?"

The hand holding the phone grew forceful involuntarily, and the veins on the back of his hand stood out, "Make yourself clear..."

"Wait, you're saying Yue'er... has now been taken to the police station on Cultural Second Road? Are you joking?"

"Ah? Are you sure someone tried to abduct a woman in broad daylight on the street? How does this sound so... bizarre?"

"Yes, forget everything else for now, have the security troops take control of the police station... Make sure Miss Yue'er is safe..."

"I don't care about the Zhang Family or the Li Family, this is Brunas, and nobody can do anything about it! I'm on my way, don't do anything rash before I get there."

After finishing, he slammed the receiver back onto the phone with a heavy clack.

"Prepare the car!" He stood up abruptly with a worried look on his face, giving the command loudly. The secretary waiting outside the door immediately started arranging the vehicles.

"Sigh... Just when one lady walks out the door, another finds trouble... Why do I have such tough luck?" He complained as he walked to the door, reaching to take his long leather coat from the hanger.

Before leaving, he turned back to look at the replica portrait hanging directly behind his chair on the wall, shook his head and sighed, "Teacher, I wish you'd get rid of these women quickly... Hefeng, Osa... Anywhere but Brunas will do."

In the police station on Cultural Second Road, within the chief's office, Yue'er was emulating Yulin quite convincingly.

She sat in the chief's chair, cradling a cup of hot tea, observing the young and sweaty police chief.

He was her senior in school, an average achiever who, upon graduating from the military academy, had been assigned to be the chief of police here, a bottom-tier position...

Despite the title of police chief at the Great Tang Group including the status of reserve officer and being responsible for the arrangement of workers' national defense training in his area, it was no light workload. Yet, he couldn't escape the fact that it was almost the worst job for a Great Tang military academy graduate.

But poor grades notwithstanding, as a complete nobody, he once harbored a crazy dream.

He had pursued Yue'er, written love letters to her... and so he knew her background very well.

At this very moment, this embarrassed man, who could well dig a four-bedroom duplex out of the ground with his toes, stood aside, waiting for his "doomsday" to come.

He now deeply regretted not kicking those two duty officers' behinds! Wondering why those idiots had brought this great figure into his station...

After all, with Queen Yulin gone, the biggest terror at the Great Tang military academy might just be the sweet-looking, seemingly harmless cat-eared girl before him.

And now, it was too late to send her away.

Nearly 20 cars had already parked outside the police station door, displaying uniformly standardized license plates including vehicles from the security troops, the police department's upper echelons, and even the military academy's.

How he dreaded becoming infamous by the end of the day. His old classmates would likely all come to him for a meal, eager to hear the details, to boast back home.

Perhaps he'd become the first in Brunas, the first from the Great Tang military academy... to arrest the headmaster's woman, what a genius.

"Sigh..." He sighed once more in despair. Following this sigh, the door to his room was pushed open.

"So what if I did?" The Zhang Family's eldest son didn't understand why Harry was asking but readily admitted, "Your master, that is Tang Mo, is a criminal! Our... criminal!"

He paused, then continued to boast about his investigative results: "According to the law, he might scrounge a living outside Dahua's lands... But does he want to go back? Back to his homeland..."

The young master rambled on without noticing that Harry's hand, out of his sight, was already clenched into a fist.

"I came to give him good news! Understand? He will have to go back sooner or later, or else he'll be a wandering spirit... dead without a place to rest..." The Zhang Family's young master continued to talk to himself on the other side.

...

This time, it was Harry's turn to be speechless. He didn't quite understand this line of thinking, but he knew that Li'ao had a longing to return to his homeland.

He wasn't sure if Tang Mo felt the same, so he wasn't in a position to jump to conclusions. Therefore, he walked toward the door, ordering, "Keep them detained for now, don't make it hard on them, look after them well! I'll consult Mr. Tang first, then deal with this matter."

"Yes!" The police gathered at the door understood Harry's intent.

"Hey? Don't go! Come back! Get this damn thing off me! Come back!" Inside the room, the voice of the Zhang Family's eldest son came out one after another.

Harry left the police station, then got into the passenger seat of the car. Then, the Rolls Royce started and drove down the road.

After a long silence, as they were nearing the city hall, Yue'er suddenly started explaining out of the blue, "I don't want to be bullied like before, treated like an object to be thrown around and given away."

"I know. I understand you. We should all be in control of our destiny; that's the meaning of our existence," Harry said without turning his head.

In the slight jolts of the car, Yue'er's female classmate sitting beside her wished she could become invisible.

"I want to go to Dragon Island," Yue'er said abruptly.

"Hm?" Harry turned his head quickly, hardly believing his luck.

"I want to go to Dragon Island, to find him," Yue'er felt that there were things she had to face and choices she had to make.

"...Alright, I'll arrange it," seeing Yue'er's determined look, Harry nodded.

"Thank you," Yue'er was a little excited.

"No need to be polite," Harry also felt a bit of unexpected joy.

At last... off to Dragon Island.

Hmm, everyone's going, it turned out to be a double blessing...

Today I was driven to the brink of madness by my child, who managed to split-screen to watch cartoons while attending online classes... I spent half an hour scolding, and he cried out a couple of times with no real trouble, while I suffered from chest pain and dizziness all day...

Thinking back on my own childhood, I really need to thank my parents for their leniency...

The update will be postponed until tomorrow... Yeah, there should be nothing tomorrow... Probably...
