Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 705: [Yan Jian Side Story] 14. Kill? (2 more updates)_2

He knew what James was hesitating about.

Considering Luo Xiansheng’s importance to Tang Yanjian, if Tang Yanjian ever found out that Luo Xiansheng died at James’s hands, he would hate James to death... So again, because of that girl, James was fatally indecisive!

But as for Ben Shaming himself, he was more determined to get rid of Luo Xiansheng.

With Luo Xiansheng dead, Tang Yanjian would hate James... then he could finally be at ease.

That night, Ben Shaming decided to lay all his cards on the table with James.

He explained each part of his setup to James clearly, then concluded, "The timing is perfect, tonight is the best opportunity to act. Jam, you understand better than anyone how fleeting timing can be. If we miss tonight, then everything set up before needs to be overturned."

James stared into Ben Shaming’s eyes and saw determination within them.

Just then, James’s phone suddenly rang again.

This ringtone was different from any other call ringtone, it was a specially set melody.

James actually leaped up and, after glancing at Ben Shaming, walked quickly toward the balcony.

Ben Shaming didn’t need to guess to know it must be Tang Yanjian!

.

James walked to the balcony, closed the glass door tightly, and then answered.

The signal here was unstable; his phone card had been unresponsive for days. Unexpectedly, it rang tonight.

He took a deep breath, and an involuntary trace of pride appeared at the corner of his brow.

Little girl, in the end, you still contacted me first.

You lost, I won.

He snorted pridefully and asked coldly, "What is it?"

Such a simple three words stumped Yan Jian.

Indeed, she was looking for him, for what?

How could she express the inexplicable intuition in her heart to him, wouldn’t it just anger him if she spoke out? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

So she took a deep breath and said carefully, "Just wanted... to thank you."

The nervousness upon hearing his voice lingered in her heart, and she carefully delayed, "I heard from my second brother that you were a big help. Actually, when you guys just came back that day, I... sent you a message."

Damn it, she ended up telling him after all.

"Oh?" He was surprised, "When? How come I didn’t receive it?"

So it was all a misunderstanding on his part, she wasn’t as heartless as he imagined... she had sent a message, he just hadn’t received it.

Yan Jian carefully inhaled, "That’s right, it was the night you came back. Before midnight."

James was slightly startled, then couldn’t help but glance back at Ben Shaming through the glass door.

Before midnight, he was still in M Country, soaking in the bath.

At that time, he seemed to hear the phone ring once and even asked Ben Shaming, but Little Ben said "never".

Yan Jian ironically consoled herself with an awkward smile, "Uh, I know you might not have received it. After all, cell signals can be unstable."

Inside the glass door, Ben Shaming stared at James’s back, meeting his gaze with a calm smile.

James furrowed his brow and withdrew his gaze, "Listen, I really didn’t receive it. But I’m very glad, even if it’s a few days late, to hear you say that."

He’s such an easy-to-pacify child, despite being angry for so long, just a small piece of candy, and he could forget about all the frustration from those days. As if he was never mad at her.

She let out a small laugh, but that laughter still betrayed her nervousness.

He snorted again, "Calling me, not just to thank me I suppose, there’s something you need me for. Go on."

Yan Jian racked her brains for a reason, and finally, the adorable face of Jieyou appeared before her.

She then let out a low cheer, "Jieyou!"

"Hmm?" James was taken aback, not understanding, "What did you say?"

"It’s Jieyou," Yan Jian replied joyfully, "You know, after surviving this ordeal together, Shi Nian will definitely marry into our Tang Family as my sister-in-law. Then Jieyou will certainly come along and become a child of our Tang Family, my niece."

James furrowed his brow upon hearing this.

A strange feeling: clearly that child had never had any interaction with him, especially considering she was Huangfu Huazhang’s child; yet... it was so peculiar, just thinking about how that child’s bloodline ultimately still belonged to the Ford family; and the Ford family had almost been reduced to just himself... an unwillingness and reluctance arose in him.

Through the receiver, his breathing pattern revealed his tension and dissatisfaction, which Yan Jian detected.

She knew she had found the right reason, so she carefully advised, "James, I don’t need to remind you that you’re actually Jieyou’s real uncle, right? Jieyou is a lovely child, but she’s also a pitiable one, she never had the opportunity to fully experience familial love... Although the Tang Family will provide the best for her, will certainly make up for all the familial affection she missed; but, I think, if she had one more blood-related uncle, she would definitely be happier."
