Mu Nancheng gripped Yu Tang's hand tightly with all his might, gritting his teeth as he asked, "Are you really Yu Tang?"
He could hardly believe that Yu Tang was Mr. Y.
So I couldn't help but ask myself that question.
Her reddened eyes were fixed on the man in front of her, waiting for his answer.
Yu Tang just smiled, as if dealing with a child throwing a tantrum, and replied, "You can continue to call me Yu Tang if you want, but since we're already partners, I prefer to hear you call me Y."
Looking at the man's formulaic smile, Mu Nancheng felt his heart begin to tremble. He asked in a hoarse voice, "In your eyes, was I just prey you were eyeing from the very beginning?"
"Were all the things you told me false?"
"You've been acting from the very beginning. You never liked me from the start; you just wanted to use me!"
The shouting made Mu Nancheng's head ache even more, and tears welled up in his eyes.
The blow was so severe that he could barely stand, and his hand gripping Yu Tang was trembling.
"Yu Tang, tell me, did you never have even a shred of sincerity towards me?!"
The loving words the man had once uttered assaulted his consciousness; Mu Nancheng dared not imagine that those words were all lies.
"You said you helped me without expecting anything in return, you said you just liked me and liked being good to me, you said we were reincarnated lovers, and you were even jealous of me being intimate with Eileen—was all of that just acting?!"
The boy seemed like a pathetic loser in this love affair, utterly defeated.
He hoped that Yu Tang would say "no," pleading with the man for a glance, a denial.
But no.
The man's expression was even colder than when he had broken up with her that day.
He reached out with his other gloved hand and pried open Mu Nancheng's fingers one by one, which were tightly gripping his.
Then, gently patting out the wrinkles, she answered Mu Nancheng, "Yes, it's all acting."
Seeing the tears uncontrollably streaming down Mu Nancheng's face, he seemed to have discovered something new and interesting. He stepped forward, grabbed Mu Nancheng's collar with one hand, and held the boy's chin with the other, leaning close to say, "Little Nancheng, you were fooled by me because your cultivation is not enough. Consider the injury you suffered on me this time as a lesson. I hope you can learn to distinguish who is truly sincere to you in the future. Otherwise... you will suffer more losses in the future."
After saying this, Yu Tang decisively released Mu Nancheng, put his sunglasses and mask back on, and said to Eileen, "Ms. Eileen, you two talk, I'll go out and wait for you."
Eileen witnessed the whole thing and was shocked to learn that Yu Tang was indeed such a heartless person.
However, she was afraid that Yu Tang was going out now to hide his emotions, and she was eager to observe the man's expression, so she quickly chased after him: "Sir, let's go together!"
As she reached the door of the ward, she paused, thinking of Mu Nancheng.
Turning to look at the boy, one sees him with his fists clenched, head bowed, and glistening tears falling, a sight that is hard not to feel sorry for.
Eileen found it amusing, a mocking glint in her eyes, and said, "Nancheng, you really are a little fool."
Chapter 46
He died for the villain for the eighth time (46)
The ward door closed, and the room fell silent.
The summer wind was hot and dry, stirring the curtains, and the bright sunlight cast shadows on the ground.
Mu Nancheng stood quietly for a while, his lips moving slightly. If you listened carefully, you could hear him counting, "One, two, three..."
As he counted, the corners of his lips changed from downward to flat, and then slowly turned upward.
When he counted to twenty, he walked to the edge of the window, looked down, and his gaze landed precisely on Yu Tang and Eileen, who had just come out of the hospital.
As if they were telepathically connected, the man, who was completely covered up, stretched out his gloved hand, raised it above his left shoulder, and then waved it gently.
Mu Nancheng immediately stopped crying and started laughing.
But after laughing, he quickly turned cold.
He waved to the nurse outside, asking her to bring him paper and pen.
Then he wrote down what he needed to say, gave the nurse some money, and asked someone to help him get the message out.
Not long after, one of Mu Nancheng's men secretly brought the computer in for him.
Mu Nancheng frowned and began to investigate everything about Mr. Y.
Meanwhile, Yu Tang, who left the hospital with Eileen, remained outwardly calm and collected, making it even more difficult for Eileen to understand his thoughts.
She couldn't help but say, "Sir, you are really heartless. Haven't you ever felt anything for Mu Nancheng even once during all this time you've been together?"
"I won't fall for anyone," Yu Tang replied coldly. "A good assassin also has to be a good actor. If I could fall for any Tom, Dick, or Harry, I probably wouldn't be alive today."
Eileen was speechless at his words and wanted to say something, but Yu Tang changed the subject: "You promised to take me to the pharmaceutical factory this afternoon, Eileen, you won't go back on your word, will you?"
Seeing that he showed little interest in Mu Nancheng, Eileen sighed inwardly and could only agree to Yu Tang's request: "How could I go back on my word? I'll take you out for a meal later."
During the meal, Xiao Jin told Yu Tang about the situation in Mu Nancheng.
Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Xiao Jin exclaimed, "Host, I find this so strange! How could Mu Nancheng be so perceptive? He actually guessed that you were being sarcastic!"
Yu Tang communicated with him in her mind: What's there to doubt? Didn't you say we're soulmates?
His affection for me has skyrocketed to 90%, so how could we not even have this much understanding?
"Hmm, that makes sense."
Xiao Jin said: "But I still find it amazing. In terms of acting, you two are really evenly matched. That scene between you two made me feel uncomfortable."
Yu Tang replied to him: Have you forgotten? When Mu Nancheng was still a little fool, we played this kind of role-playing game. At that time, we set a secret code for our palms.
This time we shook hands twice. During the second handshake, I drew a secret signal in his palm.
So I think if he's mindful and remembers these details, he'll understand what I'm trying to say.
Yu Tang was indeed very flustered when his identity was exposed.
But after his initial panic, he realized that this might also be an opportunity to test Mu Nancheng.
If two people in love cannot trust each other, they are destined not to go far.
Mu Nancheng's previous distrust of his abilities and his concealment of his adventurous endeavors angered him.
So this time, he wanted to see how the other side would react to such a complex and terrifying impact.
Do you choose to believe him, or get angry, doubt him, and then throw a childish tantrum and mercilessly slander and expose him?
To his relief, Mu Nancheng had finally grown up.
After receiving the signal he had given, the boy, despite having many doubts and contradictions, still chose to believe him and cooperated in the performance.
In this way, Eileen would no longer be able to use Mu Nancheng as leverage against him.
The three of them will then form a delicate triangular situation, temporarily stabilizing the situation.
In the time that followed, Yu Tang finally got involved in matters concerning the pharmaceutical factory, and Eileen believed that he was indeed a person who put profit first, so she began to pay him to work for the group.
However, due to legal restrictions in South Korea, Yu Tang did not receive any missions to kill.
However, Eileen seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for him, giving him dangerous tasks that nearly led him into a trap several times.
Two weeks later, after passing all the required tests, Mu Nancheng signed the surgery agreement.
On the same day, Yu Tang secretly collected all the important information about Chengnan Pharmaceutical Factory and burned all the information related to Mu Nancheng. But just as he put the information in his car and was about to drive away from the pharmaceutical factory, Xiao Jin told him that Eileen had led a large group of people to chase after them!
"Where did they even come from?!" Xiao Jin exclaimed, feeling a chill run down his spine. "It's like they're haunted! And they're going way too fast!"
Yu Tang's heart skipped a beat. He tried to calm himself down and instructed Xiao Jin to give him a hint.
Then he stepped on the gas and sped along the suburban highway toward the city.
At this stage, he cannot drive to remote areas. Otherwise, he will surely face certain death.
If we can drive into the city and head towards the police station, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
The night was deep, and Yu Tang's gaze was cold and fixed.
Tomorrow is the day Mu Nancheng will have surgery.
He remembered that he had promised Mu Nancheng some time ago that he would definitely be there.
Therefore, we must win this battle today. It is for Mu Nan City, and also to break the final fate of this world.
As the car sped up to over 200 km/h, Yu Tang's heart raced, but his eyes remained unusually determined.
He gripped the increasingly heavy steering wheel, glanced at the dozen or so cars chasing him in the rearview mirror, and even had the mind to quip, "T Group is really rich, chasing me with such an expensive sports car."
With Xiao Jin's guidance, Yu Tang calmly navigated each turn, paying no attention to the sounds of people behind him losing control and crashing into trees or tumbling into ditches, focusing solely on driving his own car.
As the city center drew closer, Yu Tang relaxed slightly and gradually reduced his speed.
But in that moment of relaxation, an elderly woman on a bicycle suddenly rushed out from the opposite corner, intending to cross the road.
Yu Tang's eyes widened suddenly. Almost instinctively, he tried to avoid the bicycle, straining to control the steering wheel and making a sharp turn. He was only half a step away from the bicycle when he slid off with it.
Thud—
The out-of-control car crashed through the road barrier and rolled into the ditch.
The glass cracked, and Yu Tang rolled over with the car. Even though Xiao Jin hurriedly gave him painkillers, he could still feel that his body was badly injured during the vehicle's jolting.
Blood trickled down his temples, and Yu Tang felt dizzy and nauseous.
Amid Xiao Jin's tearful cries, Yu Tang shakily climbed out of the car.
By the moonlight, he looked up and saw Eileen leading a group of people chasing after him in the distance. He forced a bitter smile.
It seems this time the odds are really against us...
Chapter 47
Died for the eighth time for the villain ⩨100023456789⩨
Yu Tang was awakened by being doused with cold water.
I could hear Xiao Jin's anxious shouts in my ears.
He opened his eyes to find himself hanging upside down from the factory's roof beam, his body tightly bound, head down, facing a pool of cold water. It was probably because the ropes binding him had been pulled down, causing his head to fall into the pool, and the cold water filled his nostrils, making him choke and regain his senses.
"Cough cough cough..." After coughing a few times and spitting out the water, Yu Tang asked Xiao Jin: Xiao Jin, what's the situation now?
