Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 581 - 428. Use your spear to attack your shield (Second update)
George listened and then let out a series of sarcastic, cold laughs: "Well said. Isn’t this method exactly what you used on Tang Yanqing? I’m just borrowing it for myself."
As he spoke, George stepped forward, pushing his face through the gaps in the iron bars to get closer to Huangfu Huazhang.
"You see, I’ve even transformed this face into your likeness, so it’s even easier for me to adopt your thinking. Bastard, I know I can’t defeat you with my own methods, so I’ll learn your ways and use your strategies. The method of fighting fire with fire works exceptionally well."
Huangfu Huazhang pressed his throat, letting out a series of hollow coughs.
Xia Zuo hurried forward to support him: "Sir!"
Huangfu Huazhang raised his arm to wave him off, "I’m fine."
As he spoke, his brain rapidly calculated, and then he slowly lifted his eyes to meet George’s gaze: "It’s James."
In recent days, George had been kept confined in the castle’s dungeon. Even when he left a few times to take away Shi Nian and Jieyou, they were always closely watched by his men, and Huangfu Huazhang was confident there was absolutely no way George could have contacted his people, let alone arranged someone to infiltrate Mo Ya Village beforehand.
The only variable in this equation could be James. Because every month, there were a few days when Huangfu Huazhang utilized George as a stand-in to quietly leave the castle for Mo Ya Village; and around those days, James would always visit under the guise of reclaiming the castle.
Despite outward appearances, for the benefit of the Ford Group, George and James seemed to have fallen out long ago; even when George went missing, James reacted very coldly. But they were blood brothers, and in regard to matters surrounding Huangfu Huazhang, their interests remained unified.
So, thinking back now, Huangfu Huazhang realizes there might have been some special form of communication between George and James while he wasn’t around that outsiders would never understand. Thus, George could have informed James about Mo Ya Village and his plan, entrusting its execution to him.
Thinking of this, Huangfu Huazhang tightly shut his eyes.
Indeed, in the later stages of the plan, he had somewhat relaxed his vigilance against James to wholeheartedly monitor Tang Yanqing. He never anticipated that James, who seemed to have severed ties, would quietly partake in a lethal strike for George!
George laughed triumphantly: "Huangfu Huazhang, actually I know, your attitude towards me and James is different. You hate me more, but you let James off easily. I didn’t understand why before, now I realize it better."
"Because you feel a bit of inappropriate sympathy for James. You know it’s because of your arrival that at 13, his life was ruined... and you were once a child hurt by family affection, so your defense against him was never as thorough and ruthless as it was against me from the start."
George’s blue eyes danced with pleasure and mockery: "Now do you regret it? Bastard, be ruthless to the end, don’t show mercy. Otherwise, you deserve the downfall you face today!"
Xia Zuo couldn’t stand it any longer, ready to act again. Huangfu Huazhang tiredly raised his hand to stop him.
He lifted his eyes to fixate on George: "Say, what exactly must happen for you to release my Jieyou? Any condition, as long as you say it."
George looked at Huangfu Huazhang with satisfaction, appraising him like a work of art: "What I want, you should already know in your heart, shouldn’t you?"
Huangfu Huazhang closed his eyes.
From beginning to end, George just wanted him dead.
He sneered: "Actually, if I don’t die, you could gain more. Such as everything I own, I can give to you. Even if you wish to become Huangfu Huazhang, I can grant you this identity."
George laughed, shaking his head: "I’m not that foolish. Bastard, as long as you’re alive, whatever I take from you, you’ll inevitably reclaim double in return. I won’t take that risk. I want you dead; I want to watch you die with my own eyes to feel at ease."
.
M Country.
Yan Jian coldly glared at James: "You think you’re clever! I agreed with you, one year, thirty nights, I can give you! But you have to turn off the lights, you simply do what you want, I won’t accompany the rest!"
James continued unfazed: "For thirty nights, whatever I want you to do, you must comply."
Yan Jian stared at him with despair and anger. He wants to watch her bathe!
She would rather the kind of activity where the lights were extinguished, and everything was covered by darkness. At least then she could maintain her spiritual independence, and with the protection of darkness, she could mentally drift outside the world.
But if she were to bathe under his watchful eyes... then she would become a prisoner locked by the chains of his gaze!
James’s phone rang, he glanced at the number, then raised his eyebrows towards Yan Jian, reading the digits one by one, "Tsk, this number looks familiar, but I really forgot whose it was."
Yan Jian’s face turned pale upon hearing it.
It was her older brother’s!
What’s her brother calling James for?
James held the phone but didn’t answer it, letting it ring urgently, then strode towards Yan Jian, his voice hoarse as he asked, "It seems he’s quite eager to find me. Do you think I should answer it, or not?"
He said this as he walked to her side, lowering his head to ask brazenly in her ear, "Are you going to wash, or not?"
Yan Jian began to tremble slightly.
Her brother was alone outside, suddenly calling James directly, there must be something urgent. If she refuses, it might delay something important...
Tears fell from her eyes like raindrops, she bit her lip fiercely, then tore open her blouse. Then, she shouted with grief and indignation, "Hurry up and answer, you beast!"
Only then did James press the answer button, satisfied as he listened to the phone and watched Yan Jian undress in front of him.
It seemed as if a light breeze was stirring, pink cherry blossom petals floated up one by one. Before his eyes was an increasing amount of pink, more and more soft white... His heart softened, as if he had no regard for the killing intent coming from the other side of the phone.
Tang Yanqing directly asked him through the receiver, "Was it you who did the Mo Ya Village incident?"
James laughed, a very happy laugh.
Huangfu Hua Zhang was very shrewd, but being too shrewd makes it easy to assume others are fools. Moreover, George had behaved like someone who had lost his mind due to a big blow in the palm of his hand back then. So when Huangfu Hua Zhang made George a stand-in, placing him in various castle windows, Huangfu Hua Zhang didn’t know he was making a major mistake.
He even neglected it himself, and his subordinates were more careless at times, so the words "Mo Ya Village" were overheard by George.
James had grown up with George, and although their brotherly feelings had faded later on, there were times of intimacy when they were young. Back then, the family rules were strict, and they invented various small body language tricks to communicate words that were not suitable for direct expression.
When he discovered the figure at the window was not Huangfu Hua Zhang but George, he began to closely observe George’s body language. George gradually conveyed the news about Mo Ya Village to him.
And knowing his office was bugged, he also intentionally or unintentionally revealed the name Mo Ya Village to Tang Yanqing.
Tang Yanqing would thus go looking, but James had already planted personnel in Mo Ya Village.
No matter how isolated Mo Ya Village was, it still needed to communicate with the outside world, buy necessities, connect with communication cables, and have people collect grain and lotus roots. So long as there is intention, there is no flawless egg in this world.
Yan Jian in front of him was now down to her last piece of cover.
His breath careful, yet he coldly said into the phone, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."
For him at that moment, he could only see the cherry blossoms flying in front of his eyes, how could he care about who lived or died?
But Yan Jian sensed something amiss, her face reddened, eyes blazing with anger, silently mouthing the words, "Don’t lie to my brother."
He raised an eyebrow, his gaze boldly sliding to her bra.
No words were needed; a silent transaction was on the table.
Her cheeks suddenly turned pale, yet she resolutely turned her hands behind and unclasped the hook...
The instant the red checkered bra slipped away, the phone in his hand almost dropped directly.
He gasped deeply and said into the phone, "I won’t admit to anything with you, because I know that’s a confession. Mr. Tang, between forcing me to confess and the safety of lives, you have to choose."
Tang Yanqing said bitterly, "Fine, I won’t ask who did it. I’ll ask differently: where’s the child?"
His gaze seemed like two fires, burning hotly on her body... Yan Jian turned her head away hopelessly, trying her best to endure it without raising her hands to cover herself.
But hearing him intentionally pause again without speaking, she turned her head to glare at him hatefully.
And his gaze continued its bold descent, sweeping past her waist, to the lower section...
Yan Jian’s tears once again fell uncontrollably.
Beast, he was just a beast!
She shut her eyes tightly, hardened her heart, bent over, and personally removed that last cover...
