Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 445 - 321. Don’t be afraid, I’m still here (, Part 3)

Unspeakable...

Suddenly thinking of this phrase would make him feel depressed and stifled inside, wanting to punch through that glass wall. But gradually, he began to understand Da Sheng’s heart more and more.

Between him and Da Sheng, he was the one who could act recklessly. After all, he was himself. Once spoken, it was out, at worst hurting Yan Jian, or making the Tang Family look at him differently, at worse going home to let his grandfather give him a thrashing.

Anyway...what teenager isn’t reckless? Besides, it wasn’t his intention to provoke Yan Jian.

But what about Da Sheng?

He was not one of the Tang Family; he could stand apart. But Da Sheng was part of the Tang Family, blood-related to Yan Jian, and took care of Yan Jian like a little mother since childhood. If he spoke rashly, causing hurt to Yan Jian, how would Da Sheng face Yan Jian and the family afterward?

So after growing up, he actively chose not to speak.

Not speaking didn’t mean he wouldn’t ever speak; it meant waiting for a better time. For instance, waiting for Yan Jian to truly grow up, understand that emotions can’t be forced, and finally find someone who loves her... and maybe this knot would be untied. Otherwise, at Yan Jian’s current age, it’s the easiest time to make impulsive mistakes. If everything were revealed and Yan Jian, in a fit of excitement, encountered any issues, how would Da Sheng bear that burden?

In such waiting, in such almost blind groping through darkness, he gradually discovered some strange things.

First were Zan Hua and Xiao Kai.

He knew about these two children even earlier than anyone else in the Tang Family. That time, Da Sheng’s goods returned from Asia and were unloaded at the harbor. He secretly followed, wanting to use it as an excuse to encounter Da Sheng there. What he discovered astounded him: Da Sheng brought a child out from the cracks of newly unloaded cargo, and then another!

These two children were skin and bones, their eyes full of fear, yet even so, their beauty was apparent, leaving a lasting impression on him.

The next time he saw these children was over two years later. Da Sheng had brought them to the shop, saying she wanted to adopt them. Due to their illegal status, the Tang Family was nearly thrust to the forefront of the scandal. Fortunately, after many people’s efforts, it was proven that the institution these children had been in was illegal. The mistreatment they suffered there made Da Sheng’s actions appear as a rescue, gradually gaining court sympathy. In the end, with the Tang Family’s help, these children obtained legal status.

However, from the very beginning, he knew that wasn’t true. Da Sheng hadn’t "rescued" these children from an illegal institution; she had brought them back from Asia. In essence, this wasn’t different from human smuggling. Moreover, the fact that these children ended up in such an illegal orphanage might have been due to Da Sheng. The more he thought about it, the more haunted he became.

Later, he managed to closely monitor the shipping company and ports where Da Sheng’s containers arrived. Whenever her goods came in, he went secretly to watch... and discovered more children.

All with wary eyes, dressed in rags; yet, like Zan Hua and Xiao Kai before, they had beautiful, captivating faces.

Then these children were all taken away in different directions, never to be found again through official channels. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The more he thought, the more scared he became, and the more determined not to succumb. He didn’t believe Da Sheng was such a person; he was very worried that someone had tampered with Da Sheng’s containers, smuggling these children without her knowledge. Ignoring his own safety, he finally had a chance to track a little girl, following the truck that took her away.

The container truck made several transfers on the road. The little girl moved from the container truck to a refrigerated truck, then to a fast-food truck, and finally to a food delivery truck... until it reached Yanwu Square.

At that moment, he couldn’t explain why, but upon seeing the name Yanwu Square, seeing that "Yan" character, his heart sank heavily.

He feared this was precisely a feature linking this business to Da Sheng.

Yan, as the children of the Tang Family’s generation, all had the "Yan" character in their names.

He didn’t know how he managed to leave there, only feeling as if the whole world had collapsed. Yet beneath that rubble, he still held one belief: No, Da Sheng wasn’t that kind of person.
