A second chance with my billionaire husband-Chapter 1444 - 282: Bewitched and Shocking the World

"Did he say anything else?"

Mingyue whispered, "Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird are the four major halls entrenched in the north, occupying the key northern passages, powerful enough to overshadow everything. When their strength reaches a certain level, even the world’s systems can’t restrain them. Historically, the north has been the domain of nomadic tribes, and these four halls are the descendants of those horseback tribes, inherently fierce and bloodthirsty."

"So?" Yun Ya raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Mutual benefit and win-win, these people have no small ambitions," Yun Ya mocked.

"Miss is right, the Bauhinia Society smuggles people into the country through these four major halls. After all, they’ve had years to establish their own channels, doing so without anyone noticing, not even Interpol. If it weren’t for Lin Tao’s painstaking undercover work, this secret might never have been uncovered."

"How do we find the Bauhinia Society’s lair through the four halls?" Yun Ya asked.

"Among the four halls, Vermilion Bird ranks last, White Tiger is revered, Black Tortoise follows, and then Azure Dragon. The true power core lies within White Tiger and Black Tortoise. Lin Tao’s next target is to infiltrate these two power centers. However, he has already discovered a bit: the true coordinates of Bauhinia Island are jointly held by the four hall masters. Only with the hall master’s token can the treasure box be opened to obtain the real coordinates. So far, he has obtained a quarter of the coordinates."

"Whatever he needs, fully cooperate with him," Yun Ya instructed.

In the evening, Yan Song didn’t return. Yun Ya had slept too much during the day, so she wasn’t sleepy now. She planned to see Yan Nanfeng and Yan Hua. When she reached the door, she heard sobbing inside, mournful and pitiful.

Yun Ya paused before knocking and heard Yan Hua’s crying voice inside, "Uncle Five, are you still trying to drive me away like three years ago? I won’t go anywhere, not even if you beat me to death."

The voice was heart-wrenching, leaving the listener filled with sorrow.

"I am just a dying person, staying by my side brings misfortune... cough cough... Huahua, Uncle Five understands your good intentions... but... don’t waste your time on me... In the last moments of my life, I want to spend them alone."

The voice was weak, like bubbles in the sunlight, bursting with a gentle touch.

"No, no, I won’t..." She cried, throwing herself into his arms, "I’m not going anywhere. If you try to drive me away, I’ll die in front of you." In her desperation, the girl grabbed a coat hook, aiming the sharp wire at her throat. The once gentle and elegant girl now had eyes that were stubborn and unyielding.

Tears blurred the girl’s eyes, "Uncle Five, I’ve never felt misfortune, nor do I think it’s a waste of time. If you don’t agree to me, I’ll die in front of you right now." As she spoke, the hook pierced her fair skin, blood seeping out, her eyes filled with determination. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Yan Nanfeng’s pupils suddenly constricted, and he sighed, "I promise you, put that thing down."

Yan Hua’s hand fell weakly, and Yan Nanfeng quickly took the hook away, frowning as he looked at the red mark on her neck, his heart aching, "Why don’t you know how to take care of yourself?"

"Uncle Five, don’t push me away anymore. I’ve figured it out. Life is so fleeting, why should we care about other people’s opinions? What do they have to do with us? I just want to live for you. At the end of your life, are you willing to... give your heart to me?"

It took her immense courage to say something akin to a confession. She could no longer deceive herself...

She looked at him cautiously yet expectantly. She saw the man’s expression change slightly; he too must find it shocking, perhaps even disgraceful and shameless that she could love her own uncle? Heh...

The sparkle in her eyes gradually dimmed, becoming dead and calm.

"I’m sorry... consider what I just said as nonsense, a moment of madness...." She started slapping herself but was quickly stopped by Yan Nanfeng, who caught her wrist.

His hands were always as cold as ice.

"Huahua, my time is short...."

"I know." She looked at him with a smile, "So what? Every day we have is a gain."

"I... can’t give you everything you want."

"So what? Just give me yourself."

"I’m afraid if I die, leaving you alone, you’ll be heartbroken...."

She finally burst into tears, yet her lips curled into a bright smile, so radiant and beautiful.

"So what? I have memories, enough to live out the rest of my days."

"Huahua...." He sighed, holding her tightly, "Why are you so foolish?"

She nestled in his embrace, her lips curling sweetly as her tears soaked through his shirt, the scalding tears scorching his heart.
