Chapter 485: All Kinds Of Precautions
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Before Lind Jones could speak, Yuan Xi thought of something. “He wants to use you as a hostage to gain the support of the Jones Family?”
Seeing that Lind Jones was calm, Yuan Xi paused, “You knew long ago?”
“It’s not too long ago. I had a guess when Liu Guang got someone to blindfold us.”
“Obviously, Liu Guang’s plan is wrong. I’m not in charge of the Jones Family now. They can’t threaten me.”
“Are you sure? You’ve been in charge of the Jones Family for many years. If you hadn’t given them instructions, they wouldn’t have been subdued by Bo Lang so quickly. How could they not care when they found out that you were in danger?”
Lind Jones raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Didn’t you just say that I have given them an instruction?”
“Since they have an instruction, they definitely won’t act rashly without my orders.”
Yuan Xi fell silent.
The big families in Country Y were not like the families in the country. They were all absolutely obedient to the head of the family. Since Lind Jones had already instructed them beforehand, even if he died here, his subordinates would never disobey his orders.
“On the other hand, you continue to put on the mask. It’s fine this time. From now on, you can’t take off the mask again. Your Yuan Family isn’t like the Jones Family. If they find out that you’re in Liu Guang’s hands, they will definitely satisfy whatever request Liu Guang has.”
“We can’t let Liu Guang discover your identity.”
Yuan Xi’s expression suddenly turned serious.
Lind Jones sighed. “That’s why I told you not to take the risk with me.”
“I’m not doing this for you either. If Liu Guang isn’t eliminated, it’ll be very difficult for our Yuan Family to live in peace. I’m doing this for the Yuan Family. Don’t worry, I’ll be careful. I won’t let Liu Guang discover my identity.”
There was one thing Yuan Xi didn’t say.
That was, even if Liu Guang didn’t discover his identity, he probably wouldn’t let the Yuan Family off either.
The Feng Family and Yu Family under Liu Guang were all crippled. He needed someone to work for him outside.
And the Yuan Family was undoubtedly the best choice.
After all, Liu Guang had already interacted with his grandfather before.
However, even if Yuan Xi didn’t say it, Lind Jones could still think of that.
He knew that Yuan Xi had thought of it too.
“Don’t worry too much. Old Master Yuan is very wise. As long as Old Master Yuan doesn’t know that you’re in Liu Guang’s hands, Old Master Yuan most probably wouldn’t be threatened by him.”
From the beginning, Old Master Yuan didn’t agree with them cooperating with Liu Guang.
He did not say anything because he cared about their safety.
“In the current situation, Liu Guang is obviously at a disadvantage. Old Master Yuan will make the right choice.”
“I’m afraid that Grandfather doesn’t know the situation. If Liu Guang comes looking for us, he will compromise for the sake of the entire family.”
“No, I just said that Old Master Yuan is wise. Liu Guang has never had any designs on the Yuan Family. Do you think Old Master Yuan won’t have any suspicions if he suddenly comes looking for you guys?”
“If Old Master has doubts, he will investigate. As long as he investigates, it’s very easy to find out about the Feng Family and the Yu Family. With a little analysis, Old Master will understand the situation.”
Yuan Xi thought about it and agreed.
He had already sent the news of the Feng Family and the Yu Family being used by Liu Guang to his grandfather previously.
His purpose was only to make his grandfather vigilant. He didn’t expect it to be useful now.
“Don’t think too much about these things for the time being. Since you’re here, plan well and see what to do next.”
If he was alone, he didn’t mind perishing together with Liu Guang.
Now?
If he could survive, he naturally wouldn’t want to perish together with Liu Guang.
Anyway, they were not the only ones targeting Liu Guang.
Liu Guang had many enemies.
“Put on the mask and open the door to tell them that I want to see Liu Guang. Although we might not be able to see him, we can’t not react at all. Otherwise, it’ll easily arouse suspicion.”
“We’re in a cooperative relationship with Liu Guang, not his prisoners. We have to set our identities straight.”
Because they wanted to set their identities straight, when Liu Guang got someone to cover their eyes and search their bodies, they both resisted symbolically and even argued with Liu Guang.
In the end, they were convinced by Liu Guang to stop that.
They were blindfolded and searched.
Yuan Xi put on his mask and did as he was told.
Just as Lind Jones said, the people outside didn’t agree to bring them to see Liu Guang. They only told them to wait patiently. He would inform them when it was time for Liu Guang to see them.
In comparison, Hei Yao was better than them.
Hei Yao found himself in a living room after taking off his blindfold.
Liu Guang was sitting on the sofa in front of him.
“Sit,” Liu Guang said.
Hei Yao did not sit down as instructed. Instead, he frowned slightly. “Where is this place?”
He looked at Liu Guang, “Are you guarding against me?”
Other than the slight frown at the beginning, Hei Yao was expressionless after that. There was no emotion in his voice when he asked this.
It sounded like a casual question.
Liu Guang looked at him with an unknown meaning, “Do you think I’m guarding against you?”
“It doesn’t matter,” Hei Yao said. “I just want to know where this is. I don’t want to put myself in an unknown place and my life in the hands of others.”
“Yao’er, if you hadn’t saved me back then, I’m afraid I would have disappeared with Ghost Slaughter Island. You’re my son and the person I trust the most.”
Hei Yao glanced at him.
He clearly had no expression, but Liu Guang felt the mockery in his eyes.
He seemed to sigh helplessly. “I know you’re angry that I made you follow me here blindfolded. I’m not doing this because I don’t trust you. It’s just that this is my last guarantee. I have to be wary of even the person I trust the most.”
“I just don’t want you to know where you are, but I won’t limit your actions here. You’re free here.”
“But I can’t come and go freely here, right?” The expressionless Hei Yao said with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Before Liu Guang could reply, he said, “It doesn’t matter.”
“It doesn’t matter if you trust me or not. It doesn’t matter if you’re guarding against me. I just want to know if Godmom is here too?”
“I knew that’s all you care about. This is also why I don’t want you to know the exact location and don’t allow you to enter and leave freely for the time being.”
Hei Yao looked at him. “Are you afraid that I’ll save Godmom from you?”
Liu Guang didn’t deny it.
“Sir, have you forgotten that I’m your biological son? Do you think I’ll betray you for Godmom? Of course, the premise is that you won’t hurt Godmom. Otherwise, I really can’t guarantee that I won’t betray you.”
“Do you think I’ll hurt her? All these years, other than keeping her by my side, did you ever see me forcing her to do anything? For her, I didn’t even touch Feng Li… Feng Li’s son. I even brought him around unscathed. Isn’t that enough?”
“I don’t know if you’ve ever forced Godmom to do anything. After all, I haven’t seen her for almost three to four years.”
“Besides, Godmom suffered too much back then and often became confused and couldn’t recognize anyone. Who knows if you’ll use Godmom’s ignorance to force her… or lie to her and make her do something that she’s unwilling to do? I once heard you tell her with my own ears that you’re her husband…”
“Damn you!”
Bang! Liu Guang threw the teacup in his hand and it smashed on the ground beside Hei Yao’s feet.
Hei Yao did not dodge either. It almost hit him.
However, he didn’t seem to care at all.
Liu Guang was clearly furious.
“Is this how you talk to me?!”
“You don’t have to be angry. I’m just telling the truth. Fortunately, Godma woke up in time. Otherwise, wouldn’t you have taken advantage of her?”
“It’s obvious how much Godma hates you. She is often confused, but she woke up when you lied to her and said that you were her husband. You didn’t succeed…”
“Damn you! Get lost! Get lost!”
Liu Guang still had no intention of killing Hei Yao even now.
It shocked everyone else who was wearing masks and carrying weapons.
This was the first time they had seen Sir being so tolerant of someone.
They couldn’t help but glance at Hei Yao.
“You don’t have to rush me. I’ll leave myself. Where do I stay? I want to take a shower and change my clothes.”
Liu Guang suddenly narrowed his eyes, “Yao’er, you know that I hate disobedient people the most. You’ve always been the most obedient. Don’t disappoint me.”
“This is my place. Even you definitely can’t leave successfully without my permission. So, don’t disappoint me.”
“I’ll treat this as your first offense and will not pursue it, but I don’t want it to happen again.”
Hei Yao stopped in his tracks but did not turn back. “I’m sorry.”
Liu Guang looked at him deeply with an unfathomable gaze. “I know. You wanted to see your godmother and got a little carried away. I’ll forget about it this time.”
“Your room is the last room on the left of the second floor. In the future, you can act as you please here. However, you’re not allowed to leave privately.”
“Mm-hm.”
“I’ll arrange if you want to see your godmother.”
Hei Yao’s eyes lit up. “When?”
Liu Guang stared at him. “Wait for my arrangements. It will be in a few days.”
The light in Hei Yao’s eyes suddenly darkened.
Liu Guang said, “You won’t wait long. After confirming that Liu Yu is fine, I’ll bring you to see your godmother. The most important thing now is to ensure Liu Yu’s safety.”
“I can go confirm it myself and bring him back,” Hei Yao said. “Don’t think too much. I don’t care if he’s dead or alive. I just want to see Godma sooner.”
“You don’t have to do this. This place is very far from the capital and even further from North City. It’s not convenient for us to go out. I have other arrangements for Yu. You’ve had a hard time following me these few days. Have a good rest.”
Hei Yao looked at him silently.
“It will be 10 days at most. I’ll bring you to see your godmother whether there’s any news of Yu in 10 days.”
Hearing his words, Hei Yao’s face finally relaxed.
“I hope you keep your word and don’t change your mind at the last minute like last night.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t go back on my words again.”
Hei Yao glanced at him and was about to go upstairs.
After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and turned back. “Does that woman from the Chu Family have something on you?”
Liu Guang was not surprised that he asked that.
Everyone present had heard his conversation with Yan Jinyu last night.
“Yes, she accidentally found out.”
Hei Yao frowned slightly. “Since she can threaten you for so many years, it must be very important news. Will it harm you?”
“Looking at the situation last night, that woman from the Chu Family is probably already in their hands now.”
