Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 603 - 448. Darkness, Confrontation (2nd update)

In the darkness, although Shi Nian couldn’t see anything, the gentle call filled her heart and face with an involuntary sweetness.

He was always here, she could feel it.

In this dark world, it wasn’t hard to imagine that George, as the "dominator," would certainly have night vision equipment, so hiding under such circumstances was actually more difficult, which is why he always carefully concealed himself, never showing up.

But he was here, not far away, she just knew it.

This intuition came from telepathy, even more from their shared hardships. She didn’t need to see with her eyes or hear with her ears, but as long as he was here, she could know.

Perhaps, in the small world where he was present, the flow of air and breath were different; his heartbeat and blood flow would change the arrangement and combination of the matter particles in the entire field... In short, the entire small confinement space felt different because of him.

So even though she was trapped here, her heart wasn’t truly panicked or fearful. And when facing George, she could still relatively calmly use psychological attack methods to hit George’s mental defense.

Because of his presence, this small cage was no longer dark and terrifying; instead, the darkness filled the distance, making her feel like this was a private space shared between him and her.

Everything seemed to reverse time and bring back the past. In the darkness, undisturbed by other senses’ interference, many previously unconnected fragments of memory suddenly found their companions at this moment, then automatically pieced together.

So the appellation "Mr. Tang" almost slipped out like this.

The old memories returned, yet for her, they also felt fresh. The same darkness, the same confinement, made her feel like she traveled back six years in time.

When she called out "Mr. Tang," she couldn’t help but smile in the darkness.

That guy, turns out he did become a cop later.

At that moment, satisfaction and tranquility welled up from the bottom of her heart, and she understood why he ultimately chose to become a policeman. She also understood even more why, even after being together for so long, she still liked to call him "Mr. Tang." Even when he stomped his foot in protest, wanting her to call him something else nicer, she still insisted on "Mr. Tang."

Just because calling him "Mr. Tang" was her dream come true, it was the highest praise for the man she loved.

Although many years had passed, in the seams where time and space seemed intertwined, she re-encountered the happiness she once missed.

And as she called out to him like this, he was still deliberately hiding and not coming out, being mischievous again.

Just like before, even in the darkness and despair, though he couldn’t speak, he still did everything possible to be mischievous, making her smile in despair.

.

In the darkness, Shi Nian was waiting for an answer, and Huangfu Huazhang was also waiting for an answer.

But his situation was different from Shi Nian’s. Shi Nian couldn’t see anything, but he was wearing night vision goggles. So although he was waiting quietly, he had already looked around.

As long as it was a living creature, as long as it radiated heat, it would definitely not escape his infrared sensing night vision goggles. Unless Tang Yanqing was already dead!

And he believed that when Tang Yanqing accompanied Shi Nian to rescue Jieyou earlier, there wasn’t enough time to put on the "Thermal Invisibility" suit. Unlike himself, who was equipped so comprehensively at this moment.

So even though Tang Yanqing was here, even if Tang Yanqing also had night vision goggles, Tang Yanqing still couldn’t see him; but he could clearly see Tang Yanqing’s outline.

This created a perfect battleground, the enemy in the open, himself in the dark. For Tang Yanqing, he would be a bizarre invisible man.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Huazhang laughed.

It’s good, it seems tonight is destined to be greatly rewarding. Not only can he deal with George, but he can also rescue Shi Nian, and finally, completely get rid of the future trouble, Tang Yanqing.

.

In a subtle moment, there was finally a gentle movement in the darkness.

Shi Nian couldn’t see, relying only on hearing, it was as if a gentle breeze brushed her cheeks. Immediately, her fingers were gripped.

Shi Nian was startled and then smiled, softly murmuring, "I knew you were always here. Where are you hiding? In the ventilation shaft?"

With Shi Nian’s coquettish tone, Huangfu Huazhang squinted, staring at the fellow who was so close.

It really was him, Tang Yanqing!

.

Back when Shi Nian rushed into Li Le Wen’s room to save Jieyou, Tang Yanqing had already knocked out all the hidden sentries outside. He was heading towards the ruined building, ready to pick up Shi Nian and Jieyou, but the inexplicable silence made alarm bells ring in his heart.

Originally, it was agreed to team up with Huangfu Huazhang. After confirming that Li Le Wen’s hideout for Jieyou had been found, he sent a signal to Huangfu Huazhang.

But Shi Nian had already gone into the room, and there was still no sign of activity from Huangfu Huazhang’s side.

No, it can’t be said that there are none. He lay low on the ground in the night, able to hear footsteps surrounding him from afar. From the stride and pacing habits, he could deduce that they were Huangfu Huazhang’s men.

——In military training, as the saying goes, each instructor has their own training method. Every subordinate trained under an instructor is like a mold imprint. So over the years, every time he came face to face with Huangfu Huazhang’s men, Tang Yanqing carefully noted their gait and force habits, and thus could naturally recognize them now.

But he couldn’t spot Huangfu Huazhang himself among them.

The people in the room should be Jieyou and Shi Nian, the ones Huangfu Huazhang should be most worried about. But since he hadn’t come in person, it indicated two things: one, his men had absolute confidence in victory; two, Huangfu Huazhang’s attention had shifted, and he planned to personally deal with someone more important.

Thus, Tang Yanqing naturally understood that Huangfu Huazhang aimed to be the hidden predator behind.

His mind racing, he already heard the gunfire inside the room. The trigger sound of a miniature Browning was rather distinctive. Shortly after, he saw white smoke emerging from the room. He knew Shi Nian had succeeded.

Immediately after, he saw Senmu leading people to charge in... The safety of Shi Nian and her mother was no longer in peril.

He then decisively ran back the other way.

And fortunately so, as it allowed him to discover George.

To prevent George from harming Shi Nian and to avoid making noise that could attract Huangfu Huazhang, he endured the pain and tailed them closely, slipping together into the tunnel beneath the ruins.

To ensure absolute safety, once in the tunnel, he hid in the ventilation pipe, carefully estimating the strength of George’s men.

Since Li Le Wen was one of George’s men, it meant that among those who followed Li Le Wen to escort George, nearly all were actually George’s men. Out of a total of more than ten people, nine were placed around Jieyou. Seven outside were eliminated by him, and the two inside couldn’t break through Senmu and their firepower web.

Besides these nine, among those originally guarding George at the hotel, there must have been George’s men, enabling George to escape successfully.

Following Huangfu Huazhang’s usual approach, if he arranged for people to guard George, at least two men would be assigned; and given George’s injuries, his successful escape indicated that Huangfu Huazhang didn’t leave many to guard him.

Counting this way, it should be one class of two people, at most two classes, possibly a maximum of four people.

This was the entirety of George’s assets.

When George finally left the tunnel due to Li Le Wen’s death, Tang Yanqing knew it was time to reveal himself.

He had to take the opportunity to leave with Shi Nian.

.

Across the iron bars, their hands finally clasped together.

Shi Nian was so overjoyed she was almost choked with sobs, but he whispered "shh..." softly in her ear.

Shi Nian asked in surprise, "What’s wrong?"

There was no sound at the entrance of the tunnel leading to George’s room; neither did George nor his men arrive. So why was he being so cautious?

Tang Yanqing held Shi Nian’s hand, quickly scribbling in her palm with his fingertips: "Someone."

It was an intuition, an intuition of being watched.

It’s said that human gazes have weight and magnetic fields, so being stared at for long periods definitely makes one feel it. Although Tang Yanqing couldn’t see, he just knew that in this silent darkness, someone was glaring at him hatefully!

.

Tang Yanqing’s thoughts turned in an instant, and he accurately faced the direction where Huangfu Huazhang was standing, smiling arrogantly, "Dear cousin."

Shi Nian was so startled by the voice that she didn’t dare to move.

When did he arrive? How did she have no idea?

Moreover, he had arrived with so little noise, yet caught her together with Tang Yanqing, didn’t that mean...

There was no time for Shi Nian to hesitate, she hurriedly turned her head to look in that direction too: "Just now, that mouse’s squeal was actually made by you, right, sir?"

Huangfu Huazhang still stood silently in the dark, quietly shifting his body but didn’t reply.

He knew that neither of them had any night vision or thermal equipment, so solely relying on their senses wouldn’t help them against him. Even though their intuition was incredibly sharp, as long as he remained silent, they couldn’t immediately determine his exact position.

"Mr. Tang"... just from Shi Nian’s call, he knew she had remembered.

Time no longer allowed him to hesitate; he had to eliminate Tang Yanqing here!
