Chapter 217: If It Doesn't Work, Send Them to a Psychiatric Hospital

Liu Siyuan turning himself in at the local station was really just to show his attitude.

He didn't want any leverage falling into others' hands, nor did he hope anyone would trouble him again.

Yu Dazhang, of course, knew his thoughts.

Someone like Liu Siyuan, who seeks stability in everything he does, would surely crush all unstable factors in their bud.

Cautious and meticulous, yet advancing step by step.

He estimated Ceng Ceng Lisi would be bailed out by him before long.

Not released on bail; the domestic system has no bail.

But there is release on guarantee pending trial.

If Liu Siyuan, the victim, does not pursue the matter, Ceng Ceng Lisi actually isn't guilty of much; she could even be exempted from criminal liability.

Yu Dazhang didn't know whether to be happy for Ceng Ceng Lisi or to worry for her.

The sincerity Liu Siyuan spoke of carried moisture.

He had obviously treated Ceng Ceng Lisi as his favorite toy.

Let me give a somewhat inappropriate example.

Have you played single-player games?

Many people play single-player games once and don't want to play again.

But if they encounter one they like, they will play it over and over without stopping.

Check guides, find hidden plots, clear all hidden missions.

Understand it thoroughly, master it completely, enjoy it to the fullest...

Back and forth, repeating endlessly.

In Liu Siyuan's eyes, aren't women just single-player games?

Having finally encountered one that suits his taste, of course he would play it however makes him happy.

Think about that sentence he said before: Ceng Ceng Lisi satisfied all my fantasies about the opposite sex.

You taste it, you savor it carefully~

A Chinese-to-Chinese translation: This is the most interesting single-player game I've ever played.

After dinner.

Yu Dazhang and Qu Tuotuo sat on the sofa, watching TV while chatting aimlessly.

Su Mi came back once in the middle.

Seeing Yu Dazhang was there, she said hello, then sensibly left.

Regarding this woman, Yu Dazhang's attitude was rather indifferent.

It wasn't a matter of liking or disliking; if not for Qu Tuotuo, he wouldn't have glanced at Su Mi even once.

"I want to move out of here."

Qu Tuotuo nestled against Yu Dazhang's shoulder, her voice soft and weak.

Hearing her words, Yu Dazhang yawned and didn't respond.

He could tell Qu Tuotuo wanted to rent a separate apartment on her own.

Logically, at this moment he should wave his hand grandly and agree boldly: No big deal, I'll handle it.

But alas, Qu Tuotuo's housing standards were too high.

As for this large flat she and Su Mi currently share, Yu Dazhang simply couldn't afford to rent it.

Even if he handed over his entire salary, it wouldn't cover half the rent.

"Do you think that's good or not?"

Seeing him stay silent, Qu Tuotuo stood up and patted his stomach.

That pat almost triggered a stress response in Yu Dazhang.

"Living here is pretty good too."

Yu Dazhang rubbed the spot that had been patted and looked at her with a smile:

"Besides, the lease hasn't expired yet; moving out would be such a waste."

"But here..." Qu Tuotuo blushed slightly, her voice dropping lower:

"With outsiders around, it's inconvenient."

Yu Dazhang:????

Inconvenient?

What's inconvenient?

Could it be...

If you're talking about that, I'm not sleepy anymore.

"What you said makes sense," Yu Dazhang nodded seriously:

"This is indeed an urgent problem that needs solving."

Qu Tuotuo stared at his face:

"Why do I feel your expression is a bit lewd? Did you get the wrong idea?"

You said it yourself, it's inconvenient with outsiders around... Yu Dazhang looked at her innocently:

"How could that be? I wasn't thinking anything."

As he spoke, he slowly leaned forward, making a bending motion.

"Alright, I was thinking we should have our own little nest," Qu Tuotuo revealed a look of longing:

"We wouldn't have to go out wandering just to have some time alone occasionally."

Yu Dazhang bent over, covered his face, and mumbled in reply:

"Yes."

Among the people he knew, only Qu Tuotuo could make cohabitation sound so pure and flawless.

The same peach, in Qu Tuotuo's eyes, was a heart shape.

But in Yu Dazhang's eyes, it had to be viewed upside down. "However, I don't plan to rent a room anymore." Qu Tuotuo shifted the topic and said with a smile:

"Dad said he can sponsor us a set; a villa is fine, a flat is also fine; he let us choose ourselves."

"Us?" Yu Dazhang raised an eyebrow:

"Your dad is generous enough."

He meant generosity not regarding money.

But regarding Qu Wannian's attitude toward his daughter.

Old Qu has only this one daughter, yet he actually encourages his child to cohabit with a boyfriend before marriage.

Just thinking about it feels absurd.

"Yesterday when I went home, I told him about going to your place."

Qu Tuotuo explained:

"My dad's meaning is to find a time for both families to gather and discuss our matter."

Speaking of this, her face grew somewhat hot, her heartbeat accelerated somewhat, and her head unconsciously lowered:

"He said some matters can be decided now."

No mistake, one sentence, one release, one content, one look!

Engagement? Those two words immediately sprang into Yu Dazhang's mind.

She expressed it very clearly; only those two words were left unsaid directly.

Is it a bit too urgent?

He calculated the days in his mind; it seemed he had only been with Qu Tuotuo for a few months.

Moreover, this is in Songhai, not in the countryside.

The bigger the city, the later people marry; this has almost become a convention.

Yu Dazhang did not expect Qu Wannian's thoughts to be quite old-fashioned.

What era is this, still following the customs of the older generation.

"I actually have no objection."

Yu Dazhang spoke the truth:

"It's just that I feel your dad is a bit too concerned about our matter."

"You don't understand." Qu Tuotuo glared at him:

"This way can avoid many troubles."

Speaking, she put a hand on her hip and looked at him fiercely:

"This Miss also has many people pursuing her."

Understood... Yu Dazhang only now suddenly realized the truth.

Indeed.

As long as the engagement ring is put on the hand, it represents Qu Tuotuo is spoken for.

Wealthy families favor arranged marriages; this way, Qu Wannian has a reason to refuse those who come to propose.

And Qu Tuotuo can also get rid of those suitors.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

This day at work, Yu Dazhang was called by Li Jun to the squadron commander's office.

"Liu Qi has had an incident." Li Jun said with a Heavy, solemn face.

Hearing this, Yu Dazhang was startled:

"Did she commit suicide?!"

"About the same as suicide." Li Jun nodded:

"Counting today, she has been on a hunger strike for the third day and has already been sent to the hospital."

Three days... Yu Dazhang calculated the days; three days ago was exactly the day those two siblings met.

That is to say, Liu Qi started her hunger strike only after seeing Liu Siyuan.

"Her state is very strange." Li Jun continued speaking:

"All day she lies on her back staring at the ceiling and refuses to communicate with people, just like a vegetative state."

It's bad; Liu Siyuan played a trick... Yu Dazhang immediately realized where the problem lay.

He should not have let those two siblings meet.

The truth was too cruel for Liu Qi.

She originally thought her father favored others and thus dealt a ruthless blow, but in the end she discovered her father was truly worried about her, his daughter.

Liu Qi killed the relative who loved her most!

No one could accept such a fact.

"Find her some psychological counseling." Yu Dazhang suggested.

"We already tried yesterday." Li Jun sighed:

"The result was useless; the psychological counselor's reply was that she has closed herself off."

If it doesn't work, send her to a psychiatric hospital... The words reached his lips, but Yu Dazhang held them back.

This situation requires a judicial psychiatric appraisal.

If it is confirmed that Liu Qi suffers from a mental illness, he will inevitably end up in a psychiatric hospital.

However.

Before that, we must try some other methods; perhaps there will be a turning point.

"I suddenly remembered someone; perhaps he can pull Liu Qi out of his closed world."

Yu Dazhang suddenly laughed:

"He said that problems of the subconscious must be resolved within the subconscious."

"But if we ask him for help, there will be conditions."
