Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 572 - 419. From the beginning, you never escaped my eyes (2nd update)
Yan Jian picked up the phone and said hatefully, "James, what do you want?"
Catherine intentionally sought collaboration at Westside Fashion Design College. There might be elements of chance in this, but why did she always feel there was a reason, as if it was deliberately aimed at her?
Could this be under James’s instruction again?!
James’s tone was as dreary and sticky as the autumn rain: "You said if I wanted to move even a grain of sand in this office, I had to notify you and have you do it personally. You come over now, I want to move some."
Yan Jian’s heart skipped a beat.
Little brother just left in the morning, and James acts up in the afternoon. Could it be...?
No matter, this is still a country ruled by law. At worst, she’ll go all out against him. For what he did to her, if she exposes it, he’ll be equally guilty of a serious crime!
.
Yan Jian got out of the car at the entrance of the Fude Group, then called Tang Yan Yi: "Second sister, call my mobile in half an hour. If I don’t answer or you can’t reach me, remember that I’m currently at the Fude Group entrance, here to see James."
After speaking, she deliberately took a photo of the cab driver and sent it, along with jotting down the car license plate as evidence for her second sister.
In the top floor office, James squinted at the window, watching her get off the taxi, and even taking photos around it. He couldn’t help but frown.
That little girl, she’s damned clever!
But what angered him even more was that she truly thought he called her here to kill her?!
In her eyes, it seemed he was always at this level, and maybe her impression of him would never change in her life.
.
Yan Jian finally entered the office. She didn’t first look at James by the largest "Floating Island" desk, she first cast her eyes down at the white sand, moss, and the original stone lighthouse.
James narrowed his blue eyes on her.
The world isn’t short of smart people, but all schemes are minds’ postnatal creations, so no matter how perfect, schemes can’t rival innate human reactions. This is why behavioral analysis exists, and also the allure of micro-expression psychology.
Thus at this moment, the exceptionally clever little girl before him didn’t know that her own words and actions had long exposed her secrets.
The places she looked over most indeed—no, definitely, harbor secrets.
Yan Jian looked over once, seeing that the white sand patterns and moss orientation she deliberately left unchanged, she silently let out a sigh of relief, raising her eyes to meet James’s deep blue gaze: "How do you want to move it?"
Only the two of them were in the office, James had instructed his secretary beforehand, at this time, no one was to be seen, no matter the issue.
He gloomily pointed at the white sand with flow-like patterns: "Move that. The sand’s pattern hasn’t changed in months, I’m sick of looking at it. Rake over the white sand again, give me a different look."
Yan Jian silently inhaled, boldly saying, "Fine, no problem. You go out first."
James squinted his eyes: "Why should I go out?"
He stood up, hands in his pants pockets, took long strides over "Floating Island," crossed the stone bridge, walked to her back, leaned down, and asked calmly by her ear: "Are you afraid of me discovering something?"
Yan Jian was almost breaking out in cold sweat, she rummaged in her book bag strap: "Yes, I am afraid you’ll discover my creativity. When I initially refurbished this office for you, I already said no part of the process was for your eyes; now, rules stay the same. If you refuse, consider my visit wasted."
James, however, laughed: "Don’t act so proud. I bet even if I don’t follow your rules this time, you don’t have the resolve to turn and leave."
Yan Jian’s heart quivered again, she stared at him: "What do you mean?"
James laughed sinisterly, revealing neat white teeth like a vampire sharpening its claws: "You actually understand. Today, even if I hadn’t called you, you would’ve found a way to come to my office."
Pointing at the large file bag in her hands: "This is your best excuse. Catherine’s collaboration proposal, you didn’t accept earlier nor later, but chose today. You just wanted to use this to proactively come to my office today."
Yan Jian’s heart fell entirely into a cold abyss.
Unexpectedly, such a hidden calculation was also seen through by him!
Watching her apple-like flush gradually pale, he felt he was cruel, yet also a cruel joy—before her, no longer was she the proud one?
He took a breath, deliberately blowing a cold breath by her neck: "Because batteries have a lifespan. If you didn’t come today, the battery power would run out."
Yan Jian felt half of her body turn paralyzed...
Yet she still forced a smile: "Yes, the battery is about to run out." She pointed at the original stone lighthouse: "Can’t put candles in your lighthouse, so had to use an electric lamp. The lamp runs on battery, it should be losing power."
She said, starting hurriedly to step towards the lighthouse, but was suddenly grabbed by his arm, unable to move an inch.
She knew it was over...
Yet she still turned to face him: "James, what do you want?"
James sneered coldly: "What do I want? I want you to no longer pretend clever in front of me, stop using that proud manner looking down!"
"I don’t know what you are talking about." Yan Jian said slowly, drawing out time deliberately.
She had agreed with her second sister to half an hour, didn’t expect exposure so soon, so she had to find a way to drag time on, just needed to delay till half an hour, then it would be fine.
James gritted his teeth smiling: "Still say you don’t know? Fine, then I’ll tell you."
He said as he took out a small button battery from his pocket: "I’m talking about this battery. Its longest lifespan is 7 months. And from its size, you can tell it’s meant for special electronic devices. Like micro-bugs."
Yan Jian’s cheeks turned completely pale, watching him pull out a micro-bug from his pocket, resting it in his palm, showing it to her.
"Recognize it? Looks familiar, right? Look at how exquisite its design is, suddenly it would just appear like a small pebble. Mix it in with the white sand, or bury it in the mossy bonsai, anyone wouldn’t give it much attention right?"
Yan Jian clenched her fingertips, and shut her eyes.
"When did you find out?"
Indeed, the reason she agreed to design and refurbish James’s office, of course, wasn’t due to his intimidation, she had her plan and arrangement.
A completely Chinese design, letting this M Country person James not understand the interior arrangements, thus ensuring he couldn’t see through the intricacies within it, and would keep his distance from the decoration details;
During the entire construction process, he was not allowed himself or his subordinates to see, so it was convenient for her to plant bugs under the white sand, in the mossy bonsais and lighthouse;
Requiring him not to touch any details of the decoration, even a grain of sand, was to ensure he wouldn’t discover these bugs due to moving;
And the appearance of these bugs was personally designed and modified by her, looking just like ordinary gravel...
Everything went smoothly, allowing her to finally let out a long breath following the little brother’s morning departure: these arrangements had finally completed their mission successfully, and it was time to retrieve the bugs.
So today at school, she ultimately accepted Catherine’s collaboration plan.
At the school gate, she was still calculating how to use it as an excuse to come to settle "accounts" with him, blaming it on him. Then take the opportunity to retrieve the bugs.
But she didn’t expect at the moment all was about to succeed, he discovered it.
In fact, if discovered, so be it, she wasn’t too scared. She just wanted to know how long he had known.
If he just found out, then it’s fine, anyway, the over ten months’ mission had succeeded; but if he knew long ago, yet acted oblivious and instead used it to play with the cops... then her crime was severe.
James stared at her eyes, suddenly curled his lip: "What do you think? I might as well hear your guess, in your mind, how stupid do I have to be to satisfy you?"
Yan Jian’s heart sank, raising her eyes to look at him, her entire body trembling: "Surely you didn’t find out from the very beginning?"
James laughed, a laugh so cruel: "Then I’ll be upfront with you: I sensed it right from the start when you agreed to refurbish but told me I couldn’t see."
He reached out and pinched her delicate chin: "Tang Yanjian, I never forgot you are a child of the Tang Family. You Tang Family people always have a hidden agenda when doing things. Moreover, you originally hated me, why would you suddenly agree to refurbish for me?"
He came closer, almost kissing her lips: "...for something like what I did to you, with your nature, unless because of that you fell for me, otherwise you wouldn’t humble yourself refurbishing for me."
