Huangfu Huazhang crouched down in front of the door: "I’ll unlock it."
Tang Yanqing laughed: "So you’re saying that all four of those people upstairs are mine to handle, huh? Seems like my cousin has great confidence in my abilities. Should I be glad about that?"
Huangfu Huazhang glanced at him indifferently: "This is a code lock, and you don’t have night vision equipnt. Not seeing isn’t the problem, but you can’t let this delay rescuing her."
Tang Yanqing shrugged: "Alright, leave the technical work to you, I’ll handle the physical labor."
After speaking, he turned and headed outside.
Shi Nian couldn’t help but call out: "Mr. Tang, be careful!"
In the darkness, Tang Yanqing paused and looked back, raising his hand high in a wave: "Don’t worry. There’s only four of them, five with George at most."
Through the darkness, neither could see the other, yet both clearly believed the other could perceive their deanor and actions.
The heart can see.
Tang Yanqing then vanished, the last sound of footsteps fading away, and Shi Nian grasped the iron bars, closing her eyes.
Actually, it’s trust in his ability; he once took down seven on his own while rescuing Jieyou. From a nurical standpoint, maybe this danger is slightly smaller.
Yet how could she forget that this ti there’s George.
.
Shi Nian’s intuition wasn’t wrong; George, although trapped in sorrow, wasn’t defeated by it.
He sat firmly in front of the surveillance screen, a sinister cold smile on his face.
In the infrared surveillance footage, the three people in the tunnel seed like ghosts shrouded in green light. He watched as the trio transitioned from wary stances toward each other to gathering together, and then separating again.
Seeing Tang Yanqing leave alone toward the tunnel’s exit, he chuckled.
Tang Yanqing had left, leaving only Huangfu Huazhang and Shi Nian in the bunker. At this mont, Shi Nian was still confined to a small room, and Huangfu Huazhang’s full attention was on unlocking. That code lock really requires so effort to decipher. This way, Huangfu Huazhang completely drops his guard behind him and to his flanks.
George made a gun shape with his hand through the screen and shot at Huangfu Huazhang.
"Bang," he’s dood.
Because of Li Le Wen’s death, his hatred for Huangfu Huazhang deepens further. Now, rely having Huangfu Huazhang die cannot soothe the pain in his heart; he wants Huangfu Huazhang’s death to be exceedingly painful.
If a re sneak attack were employed now, Huangfu Huazhang’s death would be too easy.
George thought again, recalling the heartache of seeing Li Le Wen burn to death... and he smiled, intending for the illegitimate son to taste the sa bitterness.
His gaze shifted from Huangfu Huazhang crouched over the lock to Shi Nian’s face, barely visible through the iron bars.
He smiled.
Since the illegitimate son made him witness Li Le Wen’s death, he would let the illegitimate son watch Shi Nian’s death.
With a smile on his lips, he picked up binoculars and went to the window. Pulling back a corner of the curtain, he saw Tang Yanqing had arrived in the ruins at another entrance to the bunker. He was hiding behind a broken wall, observing the two guards on duty.
George laughed, then took out a walkie-talkie to alert his n.
Indeed, he wasn’t in the original room at the entrance at that mont. He had moved to a nearby high-rise building remarkably spared from the conflagration. From this vantage point, he could watch the commotion unfold without interference.
His n, receiving the signal, were imdiately on alert. George, through the binoculars, watched the trio playing cat and mouse.
In broad daylight, none dared to fire recklessly, lest they provoked misunderstandings between the warring factions, summoning long-range artillery where all would be obliterated. So, the three refrained from gunfire, patiently circling each other.
Even George grew impatient watching, so he turned back and pressed a remote device on the table.
Simultaneously, in the surveillance footage, a blinding electrical spark flashed in the small room where Shi Nian was!
Shi Nian cried out in shock, Huangfu Huazhang swiftly stood up, clearly losing his usual composure.
George watched the surveillance footage, laughing happily.
Maybe the commotion underground reached the surface, as the three people above finally engaged in a fight.
George poured himself a drink with great interest, standing by the window, watching the fight among the three as he sipped.
As he watched, his gaze beca sowhat grave, and he pressed the intercom, calling over the other two subordinates who were resting between shifts. Four against one, Tang Yanqing gradually began to show signs of fatigue. From a distance, it seed the lone fighter had already been knocked to the ground by the four opponents.
He drank the rest of the glass contentedly, then returned to the surveillance screen, pressing the remote control again...
.
In the dungeon, Huangfu Huazhang and Shi Nian had realized that the earlier electrical issue was no coincidence but soone intentionally manipulating it.
Huangfu Huazhang raised himself up, looking around the surroundings.
Shi Nian took a deep breath and hurriedly said to Huangfu Huazhang, "Sir, go quickly, don’t worry about ."
The current situation felt like a ga; she and the gentleman were like little white mice trapped in a cage, while George was the one controlling the power switch. He’d close the switch at will and enjoy watching the electrified mice in the cage.
Huangfu Huazhang held Shi Nian’s hand, his gaze finally landing on a heavily disguised little red dot.
He was sure, that was the location of the infrared cara.
He shouted, "George, what exactly do you want?"
George smiled contentedly, turned on the microphone, letting his laughter be transmitted over.
"Bastard, you’ve got so nice gear today. Let’s see, what exactly are you wearing—tsk, tsk, is that the multispectral camouflage suit known as the ’Turkey Suit,’ jointly developed by Gore Company and Raven Aviation Star? These things cost thousands of US Dollars and are indeed impressive; they disperse and conceal your body heat, making it invisible to my infrared night vision equipnt."
"But why did you insist on going to your woman’s side? She doesn’t have the ’Turkey Suit’; as long as I keep my eyes on her, I can see you."
"Bastard, if I were you, I’d stay far away from her. She has always been your jinx, you should understand this, with your intelligence, as long as you stay away from her, no one can do anything to you. Not even I could find a way to attack."
Having heard that, Shi Nian pushed Huangfu Huazhang away with her hand: "Sir! Listen to , you go first!"
This was not just a rescue attempt now; it was highly likely the trap George had prepared all along.
"I’ll be fine. Sir, you have to understand, as long as you’re alive, nothing will happen to in his hands. He needs to keep to lure you, so you must not fall into his trap now. Sir, go, Jieyou is still waiting for you to return safely!"
.
George laughed loudly at the sound, pressing the remote control again. Imdiately, a stream of electricity collided with the dampness in Shi Nian’s small room, sparking fire!
George shouted with laughter over the microphone: "Bastard, your woman is right. As long as you’re alive, I won’t kill her, I’ll just—play occasionally. Just like you made witness Li Le Wen being burned alive, it was indeed quite a spectacle, wasn’t it?"
Huangfu Huazhang stood in the darkness, listening. He was trying to discern the sound of fighting from the ground to assess the current situation of foes and allies. Moreover, whether Xia Zuo, who he left above to assist, had heard the commotion.
With Shi Nian still trapped and George using such tactics, he could not risk taking reckless actions easily.
For many years, his Heart Demon, George would naturally not miss this mont of Huangfu Huazhang’s silence. He laughed: "Bastard, I know what you are looking for. Trying to find Tang Yanqing on the ground, aren’t you?"
"Ha, honestly, I’m quite surprised; this ti, you really managed to join forces. But I advise you to give up that hope early; he was knocked down long ago above. A wealthy scion is still a wealthy scion; in this life, there might be occasional monts of brilliance, but eventually, their ineptitude will still be revealed."
Huangfu Huazhang silently clenched his fingers.
George might not have been entirely wrong; indeed, the commotion on the ground seed to have subsided, and listening closely, there was nothing more to be heard.
The last loud noise ca from the painful cry of Tang Yanqing, he could hear it distinctly.
Shi Nian urged softly: "Sir, go!"
If this bunker was destined to be a tomb, she would rather it only bury her alone.
No matter how much resentnt and vigilance she had against Huangfu Huazhang over the years, at this mont, she sincerely hoped he could live on well.
Live for Jieyou; and also for... perhaps there is a day he might even voluntarily return to the court.
Huangfu Huazhang finally moved, but instead of heading outward as Shi Nian hoped, he walked back to Shi Nian’s door and reached out to grab her hand.
Raising his head, he looked arrogantly toward George on the other side of the cara: "You said if you were , you would stay away from her. Haha, you spoke well. Too bad, George, even if you had costic surgery to look like , you could never beco ."
"Perhaps in your eyes, she is a jinx; but in my eyes, she will forever be the little girl I can’t let go of."
