Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 668: Epilogue 28: Tearing Through the Silence (Part 1)

This night’s bunker was extremely peaceful, almost giving a sense of tranquility.

Everything was set to launch the next day, and everything was ready, so this night was for the final relaxation and to recharge.

With years of experience following Mr., Lu Zhao and his subordinates were not nervous, because they all trusted Mr., having long gotten used to relying on his intuition.

The only one feeling a bit unusual tonight was Li Le Wen.

Lu Zhao did not think much of it and even jokingly said to Li Le Wen, "You’ve never been by Mr.’s side since childhood, only following George, so you see, you haven’t learned Mr.’s calmness, but instead become as neurotic as George."

Li Le Wen did not deny it, nodding with an awkward smile, "Who could say otherwise."

In everyone’s eyes, this was the difference between Mr. and George, and also what George couldn’t stand, like a thorn in his throat. And that was why tonight... perhaps after tonight, the status contrast between George and Mr. would undergo a dramatic change.

Lu Zhao went to rest early, and Li Le Wen went out to patrol.

He walked along the red-carpeted corridor, the lights dimly lonely, his heart growing increasingly lonely.

He knew what reaching the end of this road would mean.

George said he just wanted to sabotage Mr.’s plan, to make Mr. lose the person he loved; but he knew well that George was just saying that to reassure him.

George’s real intention was to use this plan to take Mr.’s life.

So over these past few days, he had continuously asked himself: was he really going to completely betray Mr., really going to help George take Mr.’s life?

Indeed, he now had little choice: he had already betrayed Mr., so for Mr., betraying once or multiple times made no difference; once discovered, he would not survive, so if he wanted to protect himself, he should help George take Mr.’s life...

But honestly, could he bear to do it?

No matter how long the corridor was, it always had an end. He found himself at the door of the small storeroom at the end of the corridor.

Lu Zhao had told him that the bombs were hidden behind this door.

Though from World War II, with Mr.’s subordinates’ military backgrounds, these bombs were still maintained regularly, so detonating them was not an issue.

Bombs were the most uncontrollable objects; once detonated, the consequences were difficult to predict. Under such conditions, it was uncertain how many intact eggs would remain in this bunker.

This aligned perfectly with George’s expectations.

If he could seize the situation to keep Mr. in the bunker too... George’s wishes would be fulfilled without a trace.

Anyway, Mr. was now locked in that room, to be convincing, he was really locked in, and he himself had no key.

Moreover... Mr.’s leg was already bad, and now in the deep autumn of October, the bunker was even colder, making it even harder for his leg to function once running was necessary. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

So the situation before him was: fulfilling George’s wish might be easier; whereas deceiving George while saving Mr. would be more difficult.

He squatted down before that door, covering his face with his hand.

Struggling with the decision, how should he choose?

Once the bomb detonated, he dared not even ensure his own survival, let alone think of rescuing Mr.?

.

After Li Le Wen left, Lu Zhao, who had initially intended to sleep, found himself unable to sleep.

Unable to resist, he turned on the monitor again, looking at Xiang Yuan through the screen.

He was Mr.’s man, sent early on to Xiang Yuan’s side by Mr., but indeed, he had accompanied Xiang Yuan through four years of university and truly struggled alongside him.

Faced with the impending explosion, he had also made up his mind to ensure Xiang Yuan’s safety.

.

That night, everyone harbored their own secrets.

Gu Yong and others were no different.

Both Li Le Wen and Lu Zhao placed Gu Yong in charge of detonating the bomb.

He knew it was dangerous, but the thought of possibly killing Shi Haoran excited him uncontrollably.

Moreover, George had given him money, telling him to ensure he killed one more person. George said the money given that day was just an advance payment, with more reward to come after the deed, and promised to help them go abroad.

The promising future made Gu Yong wholly devoted to George.

That night, he was exceptionally careful, always listening to the sounds outside through the crack of the door.
