Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 604 - 449. You all, listen to me (First Update)

The passageway is narrow, and even though Shi Nian cannot see Huangfu Huazhang in the darkness, she can still feel the pervasive resentment emanating from his side.

"Sir!" Shi Nian shouted loudly, "Is it really you? What about Jieyou, is she alright?"

At this time and place, only she might have a chance to distract Huangfu Huazhang.

One can imagine, if the situation before them is allowed to unfold, the long-standing resentment between these two men will only become unbearable, eventually leading to an irreparable outcome!

Huangfu Huazhang took a deep breath, originally unwilling to speak, but ultimately let out a hum, "Jieyou is fine. She was startled, but she’s better now."

Shi Nian was slightly reassured and hurriedly asked again, "And you, sir? Are you alright as well? How did you discover this place?"

Shi Nian’s tone was too urgent, and Mr. Tang understood. Shi Nian intended to use herself to provoke Huangfu Huazhang to speak. As long as Huangfu Huazhang responded, in the darkness he could determine Huangfu Huazhang’s location.

He felt a slight warmth in his heart and squeezed Shi Nian’s hand.

Huangfu Huazhang naturally understood this reasoning in his heart. Thus, his reaction was slow, and almost at the moment of speaking, his body had already changed position.

In the darkness, the silent contest had quietly begun.

Shi Nian could tell that Huangfu Huazhang’s responses were not warm. She understood his state of mind at that moment, but could only try to smile, "Sir, it’s strange; I’ve started recalling many things again. For example, your friend here, I remembered he was once Officer Tang sir."

Shi Nian’s sudden mention of "Tang sir" earlier had let Huangfu Huazhang know that Shi Nian had indeed remembered matters from M Country. However, everything happened so suddenly that he couldn’t precisely determine how much Shi Nian ultimately recalled.

What’s more important is that he couldn’t help but harbor a bit of fantasy. Fantasy that even if she remembered some things, perhaps she didn’t recall too much in her haste, or those memories remained fragmented.

If that were the case, then his dream might still find continuation. After this matter concluded, he might still have a chance to disappear with her and Jieyou.

So seeing Shi Nian take the initiative to mention this topic, he couldn’t help but quietly take a breath and softly ask, "You remembered a lot about Tang sir, didn’t you? Seeing your attitude towards him, you seem quite familiar."

Shi Nian clenched her fingertips nervously in the darkness but smiled warmly, "Yes, remembered a lot. I remember chasing him for interviews, I remember Ye He secretly admired him; I remember how for Kangchuan University’s case, we cohabited in the school."

Shi Nian turned towards Huangfu Huazhang’s direction in the darkness, "Initially, Tang sir was very arrogant, but later getting along showed that he was naughty and kind-hearted. Even at Kangchuan University, though his official role was a visiting professor, he privately mingled well with the students. So gradually, I wasn’t so reserved speaking with him, it became as casual as before."

She cautiously toned down the accidental intimate tone from earlier.

"In my mind, he gradually stopped being the serious visiting professor, nor the arrogant Mr. Tang acting as if the world owed him money. Instead, I started thinking of him as my younger brother, a little mischievous sort."

Though prepared in his heart, Mr. Tang couldn’t help but sigh quietly after hearing this.

At least hearing it, it was still quite saddened him.

Huangfu Huazhang also emitted a soft "Oh?" "Why did such a notion arise?"

Facing Huangfu Huazhang in the darkness, Shi Nian smiled calmly, "Because didn’t he always call you ’Big Cousin’, and I also remembered your white horse... That night you took me on the white horse to a Tang Family big party, saying the Ford family had a marriage alliance with the Tang Family a century ago. So in that sense, seeing Tang sir as a younger brother isn’t excessive. Would you say so, sir?"

Shi Nian grew increasingly composed, and her final words carried a gentle smile. Although the night vision device somewhat restricted the recognition of details, specific facial expressions have distinctive curve degrees, allowing him to still comprehend Shi Nian’s smile and minor mischief.

He couldn’t help but laugh too, letting out a soft hum, "Mhm, well said."

Shi Nian then laughed happily, reaching her hand through the iron bars to shake hands with Mr. Tang, "Cousin Tang, I’ve heard so much about you."

Mr. Tang gritted his teeth in annoyance and let out a hum, "Who’s your cousin?"

Shi Nian promptly followed, "Since the sir is your big cousin, how are you not the sir’s little cousin? If you’re the sir’s little cousin, then naturally you’re my little cousin."

Mr. Tang coldly hummed repeatedly in anger, but Huangfu Huazhang couldn’t help smiling sincerely.

"Big Cousin" had always been used by Mr. Tang to hit him. But given his demeanor and identity, it wasn’t easy to directly retaliate. For so long, he had deeply felt tormented yet helpless.

Unexpectedly, today, in such a situation, his young girl unexpectedly retaliated on his behalf so effortlessly. Mr. Tang was similarly seething, yet utterly defenseless.

More importantly, his young girl’s words revealed her understanding of their three-way relationship: she reasoned Mr. Tang was his little cousin, so naturally also hers.

This thought warmed his heart again.

It seems she has remembered some matters from M Country, yet memories remain on the initial encounter with Mr. Tang. At that time, she was still with him, still the publicly announced legitimate girlfriend he had declared to the world.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help stepping forward, reaching through the iron bars to hold Shi Nian’s hand, "Well said."

Whether intentional or not, as he approached, he naturally used his shoulder to isolate Mr. Tang’s position.

Shi Nian’s small hand trembled slightly in Huangfu Huazhang’s palm, but her face carried a reassuring smile, "Thank goodness, with sir and little cousin joining forces, I don’t have to worry about George." She sighed softly and shook Huangfu Huazhang’s hand, "Thank you both for coming to rescue me together. With the two of you here, I know I definitely won’t be harmed."

.

Hearing Shi Nian say this, Huangfu Huazhang couldn’t help but furrow his brows, "I came to save you, but it has nothing to do with him."

Shi Nian feigned surprise, "What? Aren’t sir and little cousin here together?"

She herself followed up with a laugh, "How could it be? Little cousin must have come out of consideration for sir to delve into perilous conditions and rescue me. Otherwise, relying solely on my personal rapport with Tang sir wouldn’t warrant such life-risking rescue."

She let out a charming smile as she gazed through Huangfu Huazhang’s night vision goggles, "Sir, could it be otherwise? How could I have such deep friendship with Tang sir."

Huangfu Huazhang squinted his eyes. Shi Nian’s words sounded like a little girl’s playful teasing, yet logically it was a perfect "strategy from both sides." If he disagreed with her, she might become wary of having potentially deep enough ties with Mr. Tang warranting a life-risking rescue, possibly recalling her feelings for Mr. Tang, which he naturally wished to avoid.

He was forced to bite his teeth lightly, letting out a chuckle, "Yes, you’re right. It’s only because you’re my wife that he cares about our familial relations and came to assist."

Despite the darkness, Shi Nian knew Mr. Tang must be fuming. She quickly seized the opportunity to prevent Mr. Tang from speaking, "Then I really must thank Tang sir. Once this matter’s resolved, come home, and I’ll personally cook for you."

Mr. Tang helplessly rolled his eyes in the darkness, "You’re trying to poison me, aren’t you?"

He’s eaten her cooking before; he’s seen her cooking before... Thinking of it now, although couldn’t help poking fun at her, evidently—his was more bittersweet nostalgia.

He had been apart from her for too long, long dreaming of such daily exchanges for far too long.

.

Shi Nian quickly raised her finger, "Shh... I think the three of us have spent too much time chatting. It might be discovered by George. He’s temporarily overwhelmed by grief now, but I’m concerned he might come down when he regains his senses."

Saying this, Shi Nian pushed the two men, "You both hide quickly. To deal with George, we should use strategy."

In the darkness, Huangfu Huazhang and Mr. Tang glanced at each other.

Both were strong men with comprehensive plans for today’s rescue mission, yet for a moment, the situation seemed to be led by Shi Nian, while they both became obedient followers?

Huangfu Huazhang felt more sigh: he originally had the chance to indiscriminately raise his gun against Mr. Tang, ending it once and for all. Yet now, circumstances have turned where he couldn’t readily raise his gun anymore, having to align with Nian Nian’s wishes to collaborate!

Shi Nian then freely smiled in the darkness.

Since she couldn’t see any wrongdoing, she could also pretend not to predict their thoughts, just freely maneuvering the situation, issuing orders.

Mr. Tang first let out a helpless hum, speaking to Huangfu Huazhang, "Two immediate tasks: unlocking her door’s code, and dealing with George’s four subordinates outside. We should divide responsibilities."
