Chapter 625: Hostage, Suspect, Criminal Record

Some things must be faced sooner or later.

Yu Dazhang had a feeling that even if he didn't ask Ye Zhiyu for help this time, he would eventually remember it himself.

Rather than passively waiting, it's better to take the initiative.

If this could help capture the people who kidnapped me back then, all the better.

"As long as you've decided, that's fine."

Ye Zhiyu, though a little worried, still agreed:

"Let's go somewhere else, or just book a private room here in this café—I need a relatively quiet environment."

Cafés all have private rooms, primarily to provide secluded, independent spaces free from external disturbances.

In Songhai, many business negotiations take place in these private rooms.

"Let's stay here."

Yu Dazhang was about to stand up when he suddenly noticed two women walking in through the door—and he recognized both of them.

Qu Tuotuo and Ying Xuelian?

Soon, they turned their gazes toward this side.

Qu Tuotuo hurried over and looked at Yu Dazhang:

"What are you doing here?"

Yu Dazhang pointed at Ye Zhiyu across from him:

"Work-related matter. I came to ask him for some professional advice."

Hearing it was official business, Qu Tuotuo didn't press further and stepped forward, intending to sit beside him.

Yu Dazhang quickly stood up:

"You two sit. We've got something else to do."

Even Ying Xuelian noticed something was off.

"What's so important?" Qu Tuotuo frowned:

"Do you have to avoid me?"

In her view, even if it was official business, anything Ye Zhiyu knew shouldn't be kept from her.

Besides, their relationship was closer—they were even engaged.

Yu Dazhang sighed and sat back down.

He'd wanted to explain, but looking at the three people beside him, he suddenly laughed.

"You guys…"

He laughed harder, then extended his finger and pointed at them one by one:

"Looking at it now, you're all people I met during my investigations."

He first pointed at Qu Tuotuo:

"Hostage."

Then his finger swiftly turned to Ying Xuelian:

"Suspect."

Finally, his finger landed on Ye Zhiyu, a hint of teasing in his eyes:

"Psychologist with a criminal record."

Yu Dazhang's mood had been gloomy earlier, but for some reason, seeing these three before him, his spirits suddenly lifted.

"What do you mean!" Qu Tuotuo immediately grabbed his arm and pinched it hard.

Ying Xuelian shot him a furious glare.

"I won't help you," Ye Zhiyu said, face pale with anger as he stood up:

"So you've never respected me at all."

Realizing he'd gone too far, Yu Dazhang quickly grabbed Ye Zhiyu's arm and explained to them:

"Why are you upset over a joke?"

I really just spoke from the heart… Yu Dazhang silently groaned inside.

If I'd been alone with any one of them, I wouldn't have had this thought.

Today was rare—all three of you showed up together, and it caused my emotional intelligence to drop to zero.

There was just something inherently funny about the three of you together.

After much effort, Yu Dazhang finally calmed them down.

He claimed he'd been mentally unwell, that he'd spoken nonsense without control.

Then he also told Qu Tuotuo and Ying Xuelian about his condition.

"You lost your memory?"

Qu Tuotuo instantly grew tense:

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

As she spoke, she placed her hand on Yu Dazhang's forehead.

"What are you doing?" Yu Dazhang brushed her hand away:

"I lost my memory, not got a fever—why are you touching my forehead?"

He noticed not only Qu Tuotuo was tense, but Ying Xuelian looked worried too.

It seemed women naturally felt pity toward anyone who was ill.
