Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 608 - 451. Willing Even in Hardship (3rd Update)_3

.

In the darkness, Shi Nian could hear his breathing growing heavier.

Shi Nian asked worriedly in a low voice, "Sir, what’s wrong?"

Huangfu Huazhang didn’t want her to know, so he brushed it off lightly, "It’s nothing. Just having some trouble unlocking."

Shi Nian worried that he had been squatting for too long, which might trigger his leg condition, so she tried to persuade him again: "Unlocking a password is also a process of deduction. If you take the wrong path from the start, or if you’re unable to stay objective and calm during the process, no matter how much time you spend, you’ll only end up with the wrong result. It’s not suitable for you today, sir, let’s stop here for now."

"No." He took a deep breath, trying hard to control his emotions, "I have to save you. Otherwise, George won’t let you go, even if he lets you live, he’ll use every means to torment you!"

Shi Nian smiled with effort, "I’m not afraid. Because I know Jieyou is safe and sound, and I know that you will come to save me. But all of this needs a suitable opportunity, doesn’t it? If not today, sir, then find another chance."

Huangfu Huazhang closed his eyes, "No... I said I would protect you, I will never let you get hurt."

He almost self-destructively reached the tendrils of his memory into the deepest and most painful past events.

He thought of the loneliness since childhood, and the gaze of pity from outsiders he had to endure, despite being dressed properly.

He thought of his mother’s indifference to him, his grandfather’s disregard, and when he was still little, eagerly approaching his relatives, only to be pushed away by them...

He also thought of those three years when he, at all costs, worked day and night to prove himself and pull Fude Group out of crisis, and the prices he paid for that goal...

In the very end, he thought of Yanwu Square, of the love nest his father had designed to grow old with his mother—they, a pair of tragic lovers, finally ended up together. After he frantically worked to resolve Fude Group’s crisis and won the Ford family’s recognition, they finally ended up together.

At that time, he thought he could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, thought all his efforts were worth it for a day like this... That morning, he even woke up in the dream of a family reunion, only to get the shocking news — his mother had killed his father in that house.

That day, he didn’t even know how he put on his clothes and left the house. When he had given everything, utilized all his efforts, and thought he had finally realized the dream of a lifetime, everything shattered without warning, completely shattered.

He inhaled deeply, very deeply. The air rushing into his nose made his ribs ache.

He forced himself to recall that date.

That date was destined to be deeply ingrained in his memory, unforgettable, yet at this moment he found he couldn’t think clearly. Some year, some month, some day—it should be a string of six digits, but he could only ever recall four, always missing the last two.

He grabbed his hair with one hand, secretly commanding himself: Huangfu Huazhang, you must remember!

No matter how painful or difficult, you must remember.

This kind of pain, on the contrary, made him even more believe that this string of numbers might just be the answer, the weapon George set up to torment him.

For the sake of his little girl, no matter how much he wants to escape, he must remember!

Seeing his condition worsening, Shi Nian quickly asked, "Sir, tell me, what’s really wrong with you? Speak out, I’m here too, you don’t have to bear it alone forever!"
