Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 666: Epilogue 26, How Can I Make You Fall in Love with Me? (First Update)
Such a scene in Li Le Wen’s eyes was like steel needles piercing his heart.
He quietly turned off the screen, got up, and walked to Gu Yong’s room, leaning against the door frame, uttering just one word: "Scram."
Gu Yong stared at him in shock for a long time, not knowing what kind of person he had provoked, wondering why each newcomer was more domineering than the last.
Xiao Mao and Gun Si were also frightened and quickly supported Gu Yong, leaving the bunker first.
Xiao Mao and Gun Si advised Gu Yong, saying that a hero doesn’t suffer unnecessary losses.
From a distance, Lu Zhao’s car had not left yet. Seeing the three of them coming out, he was a bit stunned. He personally reassured them, telling them not to go too far, just to buy a pack of cigarettes nearby, take a break, and then return.
Lu Zhao, being meticulous, even personally gave them some money to buy cigarettes.
Lu Zhao personally drove the three to the nearest small village, watched them enter the store, and then drove away.
He also felt Li Le Wen’s temper was somewhat strange today, so he called Li Le Wen to ask what was going on.
Li Le Wen explained lightly over the phone, "The bunker needs some arrangement, having those three around is a bit of an eyesore."
Lu Zhao felt relieved, "Xiang Jingsheng is also a suspicious person. If I stay away for too long, I fear he might become suspicious. I’ll meet with him and come back to help you as soon as possible."
Li Le Wen agreed, but despair flickered in his eyes.
As Lu Zhao’s car drove away, the three of them had already picked out their cigarettes. As they walked to the counter to pay, someone silently walked out from the room behind the counter.
Gu Yong looked over in surprise and was so frightened that he dropped the cigarettes from his hand. Xiao Mao and Gun Si were also stunned, staring at Gu Yong incessantly.
Because in their eyes, the person who walked out was the man in black they had just locked in Shi Nian’s room.
Isn’t this a supernatural event?
Gu Yong and the others didn’t know that the person who entered their sight at this moment was not Huangfu Huazhang, but George.
George looked at the three with a smile, his gaze especially targeting the injury on Gu Yong’s face, "Even now, do you still not understand that you are just being used by them? It was their idea to kidnap someone, but when the police catch you, the one facing a severe sentence will be you."
Gu Yong was shocked, "What did you say?"
George laughed heartily, "Did you think they set a trap to catch Shi Haoran? Wrong, it’s exactly the opposite. They set it up to capture you and then deliver you to the police to achieve a great achievement for Shi Haoran. He’ll wash away the shame from three years ago, and with this achievement, he can retire gloriously."
Everyone knows Huangfu Huazhang, and he understands as well.
This house is Huangfu Huazhang’s, and he risked providing it for Shi Haoran to set up this trap. Even if this house is traced back to him in the future, he can explain it as assisting the police with a case.
Huangfu Huazhang plans to use this method to win Shi Haoran’s favor, to win over Shi Haoran’s daughter. According to Huangfu Huazhang’s plan, after he puts himself beside Shi Nian, his subordinates will soon lead Shi Haoran and the police here.
When the kidnapping case is resolved and the father and daughter reunite, he will appear before them both, low-key yet elegant. It can be imagined that Shi Nian will be moved, and Shi Haoran will feel at ease entrusting his daughter to him.
The illegitimate child has been waiting for this day.
.
Gu Yong was a bit stunned, but he wasn’t stupid, after thinking for a while, he tasted the implications.
"Who do you mean by ’they’? Do you mean ’Smiling Face’?" he said, pointing outside, "He drove us here, he just left."
George sneered coldly, "You’ve been sold out, only knowing to help count money, not knowing who sold you."
Gu Yong was shocked, "Is it not him?"
George shrugged, "It’s the person you locked in Shi Nian’s room."
Gu Yong stared dumbfounded at George’s face, "That person... isn’t it you?"
George laughed loudly, "Saying you have eyes but no sense indeed does not wrong you."
Gu Yong was even more unable to decipher the situation, so he could only ask dumbly, "Then who are you?"
George smiled, brought over a suitcase, and opened it, revealing neatly stacked money inside.
"I am here to help you. Not only to help you escape death but also to provide you with money to flee. Now, whether to die as per their trap or listen to me, live safely, and then enjoy life elsewhere with this money is your decision."
.
That night, Lu Zhao had dinner with Xiang Jingsheng, then found an excuse to return to the bunker.
Since entering that room, he hasn’t come out, evidently focusing entirely on matters inside, leaving everything outside to the two of them.
Lu Zhao knew the responsibility on his shoulders was significant, so he carefully discussed it with Li Le Wen.
Li Le Wen lowered his head, "Gu Yong and his group don’t matter, nor do the police; the real trouble now is just Tang Yanqing and Xiang Yuan."
Lu Zhao nodded, "Tang Yanqing is easy to deal with. I believe he already has a plan for him. The problem now is Xiang Yuan."
Xiang Yuan is someone he has had his eyes on, and crucially, he is Xiang Jingsheng’s son. Xiang Jingsheng has already arrived in Yun City, and he appears to have had private contact with Shi Haoran, so it’s not a simple matter of life or death with Xiang Yuan; a proper arrangement is needed.
Li Le Wen frowned, "But he is a witness, and being a lawyer, he is unlikely to not have gleaned something from these days of captivity."
Lu Zhao nodded, "So we can’t let him die, nor can we let him guess the truth."
After an hour of discussion, Li Le Wen and Lu Zhao decided on a method.
Lu Zhao personally edited the video footage of Shi Nian and Tang Yanqing together, then gave it to Gun Si to show Xiang Yuan.
Xiang Yuan, who had been held in darkness for days, was already at the brink of mental collapse. When he saw the image of Shi Nian appearing in the footage, suffering unbearable harm, he completely broke down.
He instinctively took the blame upon himself, thinking that due to his incompetence, he hadn’t saved Shi Nian despite having discovered clues. The crystal swan necklace he bought for her as a meeting gift was still in his pocket, yet he watched as she suffered harm that no girl should endure...
Seeing Xiang Yuan collapse before the footage, Li Le Wen and Lu Zhao watched Xiang Yuan’s reaction from the monitors.
With the camaraderie formed by being college roommates, Lu Zhao could tell that Xiang Yuan was genuinely collapsing, truly believing it.
Li Le Wen then nodded slightly, "That will do. Even if Xiang Yuan is questioned by the police in the future as a witness, he’ll only recount what he saw in the footage, indicating Shi Nian was kidnapped and harmed by people on the screen. Although he doesn’t know it’s Tang Yanqing now, he will later point to Tang Yanqing, and that’s sufficient."
After all, the police need a witness for the case to go forward, so they might as well give them a heavy-hitting witness.
Lu Zhao looked at the monitor showing Xiang Yuan, who was almost bestial in his agonized despair, feeling a touch of pity, hoping for it all to end soon. So he quietly remarked, "Everything is arranged; we await his order to bring Shi Haoran and the police here."
Li Le Wen tilted his head to look at Lu Zhao, his face revealing nothing, but his heart layered with despair.
Neither Lu Zhao nor he was aware that he had already become one of George’s people. So even with all their plans in motion, he had already sent Gu Yong to George, making this setup unexpectedly variable.
Lu Zhao sensed that something was amiss and asked, "What’s wrong? Do you feel something’s not right?"
Li Le Wen looked down, "Gu Yong and his group don’t matter, neither do the police. Right now, our only complications are Tang Yanqing and Xiang Yuan."
Lu Zhao nodded, "Tang Yanqing is manageable, I believe he already has a plan for him. The trouble now is Xiang Yuan."
Xiang Yuan is someone he has his eyes on, more importantly, he is Xiang Jingsheng’s son. Xiang Jingsheng has arrived in Yun City, and seems to have made contact with Shi Haoran privately, so we can’t handle Xiang Yuan with finality; a proper arrangement must be made.
Li Le Wen furrowed his brow, "But he is an eyewitness, and he’s a lawyer. With this period of detention, it is hard to believe that he hasn’t somehow caught onto the situation."
Lu Zhao nodded, "So we can neither let him die nor let him realize the truth."
After an hour’s deliberation, Li Le Wen and Lu Zhao chose their course of action.
Lu Zhao would personally edit the video footage taken earlier of Shi Nian with Tang Yanqing and then give it to Gun Si to show to Xiang Yuan.
Xiang Yuan, who had been detained in the darkness for many days, was already on the verge of a psychological breakdown. When he saw that the person in the image was indeed Shi Nian, but she was suffering unbearable harm, Xiang Yuan completely broke down.
He instinctively blamed himself for the mistake, believing it was his own incompetence that kept him from saving Shi Nian despite noticing the clues; the small swan crystal necklace he had bought for her as a meeting gift was still in his pocket, yet he watched her endure harm beyond any girl’s ability to bear...
Xiang Yuan watched the footage break down completely, and Li Le Wen and Lu Zhao were both able to recognize from the monitors that he was genuinely shattered, truly believing it.
Li Le Wen lowered his head, nodded lightly, "That will do. Even if Xiang Yuan is questioned by the police as a witness in the future, he will only say that the person in the footage kidnapped and harmed Shi Nian. Although he doesn’t yet know it was Tang Yanqing, it’s sufficient for him to identify Tang Yanqing later."
The police need a solid witness to file a case, so they might as well hand over a powerful witness to the police.
Lu Zhao looked at the monitor and saw Xiang Yuan, genuinely torn like a shattered beast, feeling a sense of reluctance in his heart, and hoped that everything would turn up as soon as possible. Thus, he quietly said, "Now that everything is in place, just waiting for him to give orders to bring Shi Haoran and the police here."
On the surface, everything seems to be arranged very "smoothly," but what really perplexed Huangfu Huazhang was that since entering that room, Mr. has not come out even once.
Although he tried to impersonate Tang Yanqing, wearing his jacket, using cologne identical to his, and mimicking his mannerisms, Shi Nian somehow began to avoid him, both intentionally and unintentionally.
Even though at first, she would still voice her questions directly, later she started hiding her suspicions, pretending not to have them anymore.
This was a bigger problem, just proving that she was becoming more convinced of her suspicions!
If it continued, should the police arrive, some exceptional measures had to be taken.
