BXBX NOVEL Chapter 117 - You will beg me
"HuMing, if you improved greatly in your exam scores this month, then... then I\'ll take you to my hometown! I\'ll be your tour guide!"
"Sure," HuMing responded with a smile and a nod. He waved goodbye as Ye QiuXue watched him leave, only turning to go upstairs once his figure had disappeared.
But as soon as he walked a short distance, HuMing\'s smile vanished.
Instead of heading home, he walked towards a car parked by the roadside.
Tang De, seated inside the car, felt his heart jolt.
HuMing\'s approach made it clear---he knew he was here the whole time!
Panicked, Tang De fumbled to start his car, planning to make a quick getaway. However, HuMing moved much faster than expected.
The car had barely started when the side window shattered with a loud crash. A fist smashed into Tang De\'s face, sending his head spinning, and in seconds, he lost consciousness.
There weren\'t many people on the street---Tang De had chosen this spot well, but ironically, that same choice led to his downfall.
HuMing dragged Tang De to the passenger seat and then got behind the wheel, driving off towards an unknown destination.
...
Yu YueLuo paced back and forth in her room, clutching her phone tightly while waiting for Tang De\'s call.
She needed to retrieve the evidence from HuMing, but she had no idea what to do about him afterward. As long as he was alive, the greater the threat he posed. Getting rid of him might just be the best solution.
Her gaze grew cold---sometimes, one had to be ruthless.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Tang De\'s number!
She quickly answered and asked,
"Tang De, how did it go? Did you capture Han HuMing?"
"Yes, I caught him."
The voice on the other end responded, and Yu YueLuo\'s face lit up excitedly. She didn\'t seem to notice that the voice sounded slightly off from Tang De\'s usual tone.
"Good, once he hands over everything, make sure you deal with him. He knows too much about us. We can\'t let him live."
"What should I do?"
"How should I know? You figure it out! Don\'t you realize how dangerous he is for us? The Han family hasn\'t completely abandoned him yet. If Han LiTian believes what he says, we\'re finished!"
Her voice grew louder as her agitation rose.
At that moment, her daughter, Li Yue, was passing by the room. Hearing her mother\'s voice, she paused and knocked on the door.
"Mom, is everything okay?"
The door opened, and Yu YueLuo greeted her daughter with a smile.
"Nothing\'s wrong, Yue\'er. Mom\'s just discussing something with someone. Didn\'t ShuYi invite you out for dinner? You should go quickly."
Watching her meticulously dressed daughter, Yu YueLuo became even more certain about getting rid of HuMing.
That guy HuMing had been wasting her daughter\'s time for far too long, and his presence would also affect Han ShuYi. That boy will definitely be her son-in-law in the future. Taking care of HuMing now would only benefit them!
With this thought, Yu YueLuo closed the door again.
She then continued speaking into the phone.
"Tang De, Li Yue is your daughter too. Taking care of Han HuMing will be good for you as well."
"I also feel the same way."
A soft laugh came from the person on the other end of the line, and only then did Yu YueLuo realize something was off about the voice.
Tang De\'s voice wasn\'t this young.
Her breath caught, and her pupils suddenly constricted.
"Do you have any other plans, Ms. Yu YueLuo?"
"You... you\'re Han HuMing!"
"Of course, I\'m Han HuMing. I never denied it, but you told me a huge secret yourself just now. I had been wondering who Li Yue\'s real father was, and I never expected you to answer me. Thank you for that."
HuMing\'s words left Yu YueLuo utterly devastated. It felt like her world was collapsing. Initially, she had planned to have Tang De capture HuMing, but she never imagined that HuMing would turn the tables and control her instead.
Now, she truly had no chance left.
She collapsed helplessly onto the floor, her phone slipping from her hand and landing on the bed.
At the same time, HuMing hung up the call.
He looked at Tang De, who sat slumped in front of him, barely clinging to life. Tang De\'s breath was shallow, and his face was bruised and battered from the beating HuMing had given him. Blood stained the corners of his mouth.
Earlier, HuMing had put the phone on speaker, but Tang De didn\'t even have the strength to warn Yu YueLuo.
He listened as Yu YueLuo spilled their biggest secret, and his face turned ashen.
He knew that now that the secret was out, they would become HuMing\'s puppets---assuming HuMing even wanted to use them.
A glimmer of hope flickered in Tang De\'s heart.
He lifted his head to look at HuMing, then spoke weakly.
"Han HuMing, give me... give me a chance. Whatever you want, I can get it for you. Just don\'t let this secret get out."
Hearing Tang De\'s plea, HuMing tapped his fingers rhythmically on the gas tank beside him.
The tapping sound struck Tang De\'s heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Actually, I\'ve known for a long time that Li Yue isn\'t Lee Tian\'s daughter."
HuMing pulled a copy of a document from his pocket and tossed it casually in front of Tang De. Tang De recognized the contents immediately.
It was a paternity test between Li Yue and Lee Tian, and even without reading it, Tang De knew the results.
But what shocked him was that HuMing had discovered the secret that no one else had noticed!
\'When did he find out?\'
"You didn\'t hand this evidence to Lee Tian because you wanted to use it to bring him down, so you approached us. Am I right?"
"Of course. Lee Tian humiliated me at the banquet. Do I look like someone who can be easily bullied?"
HuMing flashed a bright, innocent smile like a harmless rabbit.
But seeing that smile, Tang De only felt a chill down his spine.
He knew all too well that this young man in front of him wasn\'t as simple as he appeared.
HuMing glanced at his wristwatch before continuing.
"Ten minutes. In ten minutes, Yu YueLuo will call. When that happens, you guys better do your best."
