Chapter 901
Shaun had a lot to say to Jordan.
Jordan had somehow become Shaun’s best “friend” and “partner” in this world. After all, the two of them had collaborated and done too many things together in the past year.
Walking over, Shaun patted Jordan’s shoulder.
To Shaun, this was a friendly gesture but it instantly angered Jordan!
Jordan got up from his seat, turned around, and punched Shaun in the face!
Bang!
Jordan was furious. “You b*stard, how dare you appear in front of me? If your wife, Clara, hadn’t controlled Victoria’s body and made her sleep with an 18-year-old boy, Victoria wouldn’t have committed suicide and wouldn’t be unconscious now!”
“Ding! Face bleeding detected. Beginning treatment.”
A mechanical voice rang out from Shaun’s body.
Shaun was wearing a Rong family invention that could defend and treat the body. But Shaun didn’t bother. He said to the system, “Stop the treatment.” novelbin
Retrieving a tissue from the small table by the balcony, Shaun wiped the blood from his nose. He then said to Jordan, “Jordan, can you be reasonable? You were the one who caused my wife and me to be homeless first. You exposed us and chased us out of the Schmid family.”
Jordan said angrily, “That’s Lota’s home, not yours at all!”
Shaun said, “Alright, even if you were right to uphold justice, didn’t you kill my wife with your own hands? It has been so long since you killed my wife. Did I try to take revenge on you? Did I ever scold and hit you like you did to me just now? If I had killed your wife, would you be willing to speak to me in a friendly manner?
……
“My wife and I were childhood sweethearts. We knew each other since we were young children. You’ve only known Victoria for just over two years, right?”
From the looks of it, what Jordan did to Shaun was indeed more cruel than what Shaun had done to Jordan.
After all, Jordan had killed Shaun’s wife with his own hands. On the contrary, Jordan’s wife had attempted suicide and was not dead yet, just in a coma.
When Clara controlled Victoria, she never intended to really hurt her physically. If Clara had jumped down from a building dozens of stories high when she was controlling Victoria’s body, even Jordan would have been helpless to stop her.
What happened to Victoria was considered not that bad in the scheme of things.
Jordan said coldly, “You can also kill me to avenge your wife!”
Shaun said, “Don’t always talk about fighting and killing. We have to foster a harmonious society! Just because we can’t save Victoria doesn’t mean Rong Huangde can’t!”
“Rong Huangde?”
At the mention of the unfathomable Rong Huangde, hope rose in Jordan’s heart.
“Can Rong Huangde save Victoria? By the way, why didn’t Rong Huangde kill you after I left?”
Shaun complained resentfully. “Thank you. You finally remembered to show some concern for me! I’ve been here for half a month, but you only asked me this question today. As your best partner for the past year, I’m so disappointed!”
Jordan stated coldly, “Whether you die or not has nothing to do with me. If you don’t want to tell me, then don’t. I’m not that interested.”
Exasperated, Shaun hurriedly said, “Rong Huangde is not a simple character. You b*stard, you were so disloyal. You flew me to Fort Rong in the middle of the night. When we reached the fort, I told you to go back and watch the movie first, but you disagreed. You were the one who insisted on barging into the second floor of the fort. In the end, I begged you so hard, but you didn’t bring me with you when you left. We’ve known each other for a long time. Couldn’t you have shown me some kindness?
“After you left, I thought Rong Huangde would kill me. But he didn’t. He actually endured the fact that I killed his son. Instead, he fed me poison to control and use me.
“Sigh, I thought that after switching minds with Rong Bailun, I would be the number one person in the world. I could kill whoever I wanted. Everyone in the world would have to listen to me! Who would have thought that I would just end up becoming a puppet of you and Rong Huangde? Both of you have your methods of controlling me.
“F*ck, if I had known that it would be so frustrating after becoming Rong Bailun, I wouldn’t have swapped minds with him!”
Jordan snorted. “Blame your greed. You can’t blame anyone else.”
Rong Huangde didn’t kill Shaun. Instead, he poisoned him and held his life in his hands.
On one hand, it was for the sake of his family.
“Rong Bailun’s wife, son and daughter don’t know that you’re a fake, right?” Jordan asked.
Shaun nodded. “They don’t know. Rong Huangde didn’t tell them.”
Jordan had guessed correctly.
Now that Victoria was unconscious, Jordan understood the pain of losing a beloved family member.
Ban Luming was just an outsider but his death already made that brat Rong Bingshao so angry that he wanted to kill Jordan. He had cried until tears streamed down his face.
If he knew that his father had been killed and his mind replaced, he would not be able to withstand such a blow.
Jordan asked, “You said that Rong Huangde can save Victoria?”
Shaun smiled. “I can only say this. If Victoria can still be saved and there’s only one person in this world who can do it, then that person will be Rong Huangde. That old b*stard Rong Huangde is too f*cking unfathomable. He even knows our Handley family’s secret techniques. Is there anything in this world that he hasn’t seen before?
“You’re a Deity. Just rely on your intuition to analyze if Victoria will wake up one day. If you believe that she’ll wake up, then come with me to find Rong Huangde at Fort Rong. If you believe she’ll be like this for the rest of her life, lying on the hospital bed like a vegetable, never waking up, never calling you husband again, then don’t come with me.”
It could be said that Shaun was an expert at persuasion.
His goal was not to help Jordan at all. Instead, he wanted to trick Jordan into going to meet Rong Huangde.
Rong Huangde had given him this mission.
Shaun seemed to be giving Jordan a choice, but in fact, he was not giving him any choice at all. As Victoria’s husband, how could Jordan believe that she would never wake up?
In fact, Jordan had fantasized countless times that after Victoria woke up, she would cry and tell him that she would never do such a foolish thing again. They would live happily ever after.
However, Jordan did not immediately agree. Instead, he asked cautiously, “Did Rong Huangde ask you to invite me?”
Chapter 902
Shaun smiled. “That’s right. Rong Huangde did ask me to advise you to return to the fort and have a good chat with him about returning to the past and exploring the secrets and origins of the secret techniques of the Deity and the Handley family. Regardless, I stand by what I said earlier. Rong Huangde is indeed the only one who can save your wife now. You have to go find him.”
Jordan thought of the old man who had almost killed him and still felt a lingering fear.
If he wasn’t a Deity and Rong Huangde wasn’t in awe of him… If Jordan didn’t have the abilities of a Deity and of use to Rong Huangde… novelbin
Jordan would have died then and there.
“Rong Huangde is not a simple person. I don’t want to come into contact with him. As the number one person in the world, he pretended to be dead for 10 years. Over the past 10 years, not only did he control our world, but he was also exploring it. He knows everything about me and you. Even if we join forces, we won’t be his match.
“Do you know why I rejected him so decisively and refused to help him?”
Shaun thought for a moment and suddenly frowned.
With his understanding of Jordan, he should be very interested in something as magical as a space- time revolving door!
Jordan liked Nolan’s movies so much because he was obsessed with time, science fiction and dreams. It was impossible for him not to want to try going back in time.
Moreover, Jordan would definitely want to know the secret of Deities. How did he become a Deity? What was the origin of Deities?
Jordan was also very interested in Shaun’s mystical techniques.
However, Jordan rejected Rong Huangde resolutely.
Shaun said, “Are you worried that Rong Huangde will kill you after using you? Just like what I did to you previously?”
……
Jordan said, “It’s not that simple. You’ve underestimated Rong Huangde. My gut tells me that Rong Huangde is even more terrifying and ambitious than you!”
Shaun was shocked. His ambition was to become the number one person in the world!
This ambition was already the greatest. Rong Huangde was a half-dead old man. Even if he was given a beautiful girl, he might not be able to get it up. How could he have greater ambitions than Shaun?
Jordan said, “Once he discovers the origins of Deities and your Handley family’s secret techniques, perhaps he might understand how to recreate them. By then, Rong Huangde can become a creator and modifier. He can travel to the past at any time. He might change the parameters of my Deity ability or your techniques.”
Shaun was shocked. “Oh my god, can this be done? It’s like the author of a novel. He can modify the settings and ability parameters of a character.”
Jordan sighed. “It’s possible. There are so many major secrets in this world. No one knows what they are. I only know that the closer you are to the truth, the more dangerous it will be. The more powerful and terrifying existences you will come into contact with.”
Shaun cursed angrily. “F*ck, every time I see that old thing, I tremble! I feel like even a strand of his beard can blow me up. You’re right. This damn old man isn’t willing to die at 80 like your grandfather.
That’s why he created such a heaven-defying thing. Only a lunatic would dare to play with such a thing.
“But Jordan, although Rong Huangde must have some terrifying plan in mind, you really have to beg him if you want to save your wife.”
Jordan gave a big sigh. “You’re right. Although I don’t want to see him and become his chess piece, I have no choice for Victoria’s sake. Shaun, I’ll come with you.”
Shaun was delighted. If he could bring Jordan back to Fort Rong with him, he would complete the mission Rong Huangde had given him. He could finally receive the antidote on time.
Before Jordan left, he walked to Victoria’s bed again and held her hand. He kissed her forehead and looked at her sleeping face.
“Victoria, wait for me to come back. No matter what it takes, I’ll definitely wake you up.”
Shaun smiled meaningfully. “Maybe the next time you come back, she will already be awake.”
Jordan did not say anything else and walked out with Shaun.
At this moment, Lauren had just sent Geng Anli and the rest off.
Seeing Jordan and Shaun walking out together, Lauren was a little surprised.
“Is Chairman Rong leaving too?”
Shaun smiled at her. Actually, she could be considered his disciple. After all, Shaun had taught Lauren all about remotely controlling another person.
However, Shaun did not expose his identity. Since Jordan chose not to tell Lauren, why go asking for trouble?
Although he had taught Lauren some spells, he also imprisoned her for more than half a year.
Shaun smiled. “Ms. Lauren, I’m not the only one leaving. Your husband will also be leaving with me.”
Lauren looked at Jordan in surprise. “Hubby, really? You’re leaving too?”
For more than a month, Jordan had been watching over Victoria day and night. Lauren didn’t expect him to leave.
Jordan nodded. Under the dazzling sunlight, this was the first time over the past month that he noticed Lauren’s haggard and thin face.
He knew that Lauren had suffered this month.
Reaching out, Jordan gently touched her face. “Lauren, I’m going to China. You should go home and rest for a few days. You don’t have to stay here all the time. Victoria won’t wake up anytime soon. There’s nothing you can do here. Just let Salvatore and Emily watch over her.”
Lauren asked, “Hubby, have you forgiven Salvatore? Ever since Victoria shot herself, Salvatore has been so anxious that he can’t sleep at night. He was afraid that you would come and punish him one day. He also said that if you want to execute him, he would accept it without any complaints.”
Victoria had killed herself after snatching Salvatore’s gun. As Salvatore didn’t react in time, he blamed himself. He was indeed somewhat responsible.
However, Jordan had previously already dreamed of Victoria being shot.
Even if Salvatore managed to stop her in time, Victoria would find other opportunities in the future to commit suicide with a gun. It was inevitable.
Jordan nodded and caressed Lauren’s face. “Hurry up and go home.”
Lauren could feel Jordan’s love and instantly felt a wave of happiness. All the hardship she had suffered the past month melted away.
“Hubby, when will you be back?” Lauren asked with concern.
Jordan shook his head. “I’m not sure. It might be very soon or it might be much longer.”
Jordan knew that he might end up like the Ghost Rider.
The Ghost Rider had sold his soul to the devil.
If he wanted Rong Huangde’s help, Jordan would have to satisfy his desires first!
Chapter 903
Jordan and Shaun flew straight to Fort Rong.
Arriving at this place again, Jordan no longer felt as nervous and awed as when he first came. After knowing the Rongs’ heaven-defying secret, he had already started treating it as normal.
But he did not see Rong Huangde when he entered the secret room.
“Where’s Rong Huangde?” Jordan asked.
Shaun said, “You know, this old man is already 71 years old. He’s only a few years away from turning 80. So he has been living in the past. He went back in time a few days ago. He won’t be back until two days later.”
Shaun snapped his fingers and ordered. “Dr. T, bring out two bottles of red wine and a few snacks. I want to have a drink with Jordan here.”
A system voice sounded. “Yes, Master.”
A claw-shaped object emerged from a wall with red wine, glasses and some tasty-looking dishes.
Jordan knew that Dr. T was the artificial intelligence system in this room. Previously, when Rong Huangde had ordered Dr. T to kill Shaun and Jordan, they had almost died.
It seemed that now that Rong Huangde was not around, Shaun was the master.
Shaun was also very arrogant and wanted to show off. “Although I’m controlled by you and Rong Huangde now, I am having a pretty glorious life when you two are not around.”
With that, he snapped her fingers again. “Dr. T, give us some fries and meatloaf.”
Dr. T replied, “What is meatloaf? This item isn’t on the system menu.”
……
Shaun said in disdain, “Trash, to think that you’re the most advanced artificial intelligence in the world. You don’t even know how to make a simple meatloaf. Serve us the fries first.”
Shaun raised his wine glass and clinked it with Jordan’s. “This red wine was already opened and given time to breathe. Come, let’s drink.”
Jordan picked up his wine glass. Ever since Victoria’s accident, he had not touched alcohol. Now, he really wanted to drown in his sorrows.
Taking a sip of wine, Jordan asked, “Why did you order all these dishes?”
Shaun took a sip of wine and sighed. “Ever since you left me to my fate in this place, my heart has been cold. Rong Huangde forced me to drink a poison specially developed by their family. I have to take the antidote once a week, or my body will turn into a puddle of water and disappear. Rong Huangde time-travels every day. I really pray for him every day. If something happens to him and he doesn’t return, I’ll be doomed!”
Jordan asked cautiously, “Where did he go again? Did he go to Cocodrie 30 years ago to investigate your Handley family?”
Shaun nodded. “Yes, Rong Huangde is very familiar with my little town now. He might be even more familiar with it than I am. He knows all the streets and the location of each shop and household.
Jordan asked, “Why didn’t he bring you along? You’re from the Handley family after all. You’ll be of some help to his investigation while he is there.”
Shaun took another sip of wine. “How can I help? My father never met me as an adult and he kills people without hesitation. He’ll probably murder me in the blink of an eye. I’m no match for him.
Besides, I have to stay here and convince you to come over to help Rong Huangde. You are a Deity and I’m not as useful as you are.”
Jordan downed a glass of wine and poured another for himself. He said, “Shaun, I have a feeling that in order to save Victoria, I might have to agree to enter the Time Gate and return to the past.”
Shaun was delighted. “Did you predict this?”
Jordan shook his head. “No, but I don’t need to predict it. I know it will happen. Shaun, no matter what, we’ve worked together many times in the past year. You and I can be considered good partners. If I really have to travel back to the past, I hope you can come with me. Your abilities will be very useful to me.”
Jordan wanted Shaun to come along. It was very dangerous to travel back in time. His own abilities were not enough to ensure his safety. novelbin
Shaun said, “If I help you, will you get rid of my golden headband curse?”
Jordan nodded. “Sure. I only did this back then because I was worried that you would do something to destroy the world order after you became the number one person in the world. But now, this world is not being controlled by you. Rong Huangde is the one controlling it. I don’t have to worry about that anymore.”
Shaun was delighted. He raised his wine glass. “Alright! From now on, I’ll help you with anything you do! Of course, we are good brothers and must help each other. Jordan, I’m not as cold-blooded as you, not caring if the other party lives or dies. It’s better for this world to fall into our hands rather than the Rongs, right?”
Jordan clinked glasses with Shaun.
To deal with an unfathomable fellow like Rong Huangde, Jordan had to cooperate with Shaun.
…
Two days later.
Jordan and Shaun were drunk and lying on the soft bed in the room.
Rumble! Rumble!
A rumbling sound could be heard as the white door opened.
Rong Huangde walked out of the Time Gate.
Rong Huangde was overjoyed to see Jordan. “Hahahaha, Deity Jordan, I didn’t expect to see you so soon. This is much earlier than I expected!”
Jordan and Shaun also hurriedly woke up.
Shaun got up and brought a cup of hot water over. “Dad, how did things go over there? Did you gain anything? My town is cold and there are no heaters. You must be cold, right? Have some hot water first.”
Rong Huangde took off his oxygen mask but pushed the cup aside, and did not drink the water. “I went back to the month of August, 30 years ago. It was not wintertime.”
Rong Huangde shook hands with Jordan. “It’s good to see you again.”
Jordan returned Rong Huangde’s handshake respectfully. He said sincerely, “Mr. Rong, I’m here for my wife, Victoria.”
Rong Huangde wiped his hands with a hot towel and nodded. “Yes, I heard that Victoria committed suicide, right? She also contracted a new illness called death depression. Shaun, have you sent our family’s medical team over?”
Shaun replied, “Yes, Dad. The top doctors in our family can’t cure her either. This is a mental illness. Victoria is determined to die. Unless we can change her mind, she won’t wake up.”
At this moment, Rong Huangde let out a meaningful laugh.
Jordan could feel from his laugh that Rong Huangde seemed to have a way to save Victoria!
Chapter 904
Jordan hurriedly cupped his hands and said, “Mr. Rong, your family’s technology and medical standards have long reached perfection. Please save my poor wife. If you can save my wife, I’m willing to help you in any field and help you improve your strength in every aspect!”
Rong Huangde was very polite to Jordan. He smiled. “Thank you for your generosity, Deity Jordan. However, from what you said, it sounds like you think that the medical team we sent to help you isn’t our best one?”
Jordan did think that. He felt that the team which Shaun brought was the best under Rong Bailun’s level. And now, Jordan knew that Rong Huangde was the real mastermind.
Perhaps he had a group of even more powerful experts that he had yet to reveal.
Rong Huangde smiled and did not answer the question directly. Instead, he asked,
“Deity Jordan, medicine has been developing for thousands of years, right? Over the years, we’ve conquered countless illnesses. We can treat them with medicine now. However, even though medicine has been progressing for thousands of years, is there any medicine or surgery that can change a person’s state of mind?
“Do you think there is a medicine that can change a person’s personality and thoughts? To make them happy or sad? There isn’t, right?
“Ms. Victoria’s current situation can’t be resolved with just high medical standards. Even if we develop for another thousand years, I believe no medicine can make her go from begging for death to being determined to live. She is suffering from a mental illness, and one that can’t be resolved with medical skills.”
Jordan’s expression instantly turned to despair. “So even you can’t save Victoria?”novelbin
If even Rong Huangde couldn’t do anything, then Jordan really didn’t know who to look for.
Perhaps, there was really no hope for Victoria.
Unexpectedly, Rong Huangde smiled again. “Actually, there is a solution.”
Jordan immediately became excited. “Can you save my wife? How?”
……
Rong Huangde said, “The problem with your wife is that she’s already dead inside and doesn’t have any desire to survive. Her mind died the moment she was shot. Even after the doctor healed her gunshot wound, her mind is still in a dead state. Therefore, if you want to save her, you have to plant an idea in her mind, that no matter what difficulties she encounters, she has to be positive and live on!”
Jordan hurriedly asked, “How?”
Rong Huangde pointed at the Time Gate he had just walked out of and said, “Go back in time. You definitely need to do it now. You have to go back in time to complete this.”
Indeed, Rong Huangde was enticing him to go back in time.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Jordan realized that Rong Huangde was right. The only solution now was to return to the past.
Rong Huangde continued, “After you return to the past, you can subtly instill an idea in her whenever you’re with her. For example, you can frequently mention how you two would be decades later when you and she have become an old couple. The two of you would still hold hands and take walks in the park together. You will get to hug your grandchildren together and so on.
“When her heart is filled with anticipation for this future and she remembers this deep inside her heart, she will be filled with hope. That is what will allow her to wake up.”
Jordan slowly thought about the feasibility of this matter.
“Implant an idea in her?”
Jordan suddenly remembered Nolan’s movie “Inception”.
In the movie, in order to make an heir of a financial group give up his father’s assets, the protagonist implanted an idea into the heir via an illusory dream. They influenced him that money was not the most important thing. Family and love were.
In the end, after waking up, that heir indeed gave up on inheriting his father’s business and chose to live an ordinary life.
If Jordan returned to the past, he could implant an idea in Victoria’s mind, the idea that she must stay with Jordan until she grew old.
As long as this idea was strong enough, Victoria would definitely wake up and not seek death!
Shaun said, “Dad, there’s no need to go through so much trouble. Victoria committed suicide because my wife controlled his body and slept with that boy. Go back in time and stop my wife from sleeping with him. Jordan, if you do this, I don’t mind you slapping my wife a couple of times. This woman actually cheated on me to take revenge on you.”
However, Rong Huangde said bluntly, “Shaun, stop calling me Dad. Your IQ is not worthy to be my son. Didn’t you guys watch Director Nolan’s ‘Creed’? I had him explain the concept of time travel very clearly in the movie. What happened in the past cannot be changed. Victoria and the little boy slept together and she chose to shoot herself, these two things cannot be changed.
“Once you try to change either one of the events, a new timeline will appear, which is…”
“A parallel world!” Jordan answered quickly.
Rong Huangde nodded. “That’s right. In this parallel world, your wife wasn’t violated. She didn’t commit suicide and is living well. But the Victoria in this world is still unconscious.”
Jordan quickly said, “No, I don’t want to create a parallel world. I won’t change the past. I don’t care about Victoria and that boy. I just want her to wake up!”
Parallel worlds were what Jordan was most afraid of. He did not want to create a new flow in time.
Rong Huangde smiled. He knew that Jordan was a person who saw the bigger picture. He said, “Jordan, what happened has already happened. Anyway, you can’t create a parallel world even if you want to. At the very least, in my long experience of time travel, I’ve never been able to create a parallel world.”
At this moment, Shaun felt a little dizzy. He asked, “Dad, since you can’t change what happened in the past, why did you ask Jordan to return to the past? Didn’t what should have happened already happen? In the past, Jordan didn’t instill this idea in Victoria. If he goes back to the past and instills this idea, wouldn’t it be equivalent to changing the past?”
Jordan was also a little puzzled by this.
Rong Huangde pointed at Shaun and said in a gratified tone. “This is a good question. You are qualified to be my son. Now, I want to tell you about another very important time travel concept. You must listen carefully.”
Chapter 905
At those words, Jordan and Shaun became very attentive.
Rong Huangde said slowly, “Before we talk about this concept, I want to tell you a little story. Perhaps you’ve heard it before. Legend has it that this world originally didn’t have a moon. God only created Earth. Earth was the only planet in the entire universe. But as time passed, suddenly one day, a fellow called Galileo invented a telescope that could look beyond the skies of Earth. God was shocked and hurriedly created a moon.
“It means that the moon doesn’t exist until you have the ability to see it. Only when you have the ability to see it will the moon be placed there. Do you understand what I mean?”
Shaun was confused, but Jordan seemed to have understood something.
Jordan said, “You mean that what I saw with my own eyes in the past will still happen? But what I didn’t see it, I can still change it?”
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Rong Huangde clapped happily and praised Jordan. “As expected of a Deity! As expected of a descendant of the Steele family! Jordan, you’re too smart. That’s exactly what I meant!”
Shaun had a low education level. While he was good at his demonic techniques, he knew nothing about physics and science. He tugged at Rong Huangde’s arm.
“Dad, I don’t understand. What do you mean? What are you talking about? Can you explain to me?”
Now, Shaun would call Rong Huangde “Dad” every time he saw him. As Shaun was indeed using Rong Bailun’s body, Rong Huangde would sometimes mistake this person in front of him to be his real son.
This was also the reason why Shaun insisted on calling him “Dad”. It was to confuse this old man and make him sympathize with him.
Rong Huangde explained patiently, “Let me give you another example. If you drive to work in the city in the capital, you will encounter many cars along the way. However, you only remembered seeing two cars: a black Audi A8 and a white Ford Focus. There were hundreds of cars you didn’t remember seeing. And you can change all of them.
“I can change a Tesla that has been following your car to a Porsche, or I can change a Volkswagen that was far away into a Buick. Do you understand?”
……
Shaun swallowed. He… still didn’t quite understand.
Seeing how confused Shaun was, Jordan quickly intervened to explain. After all, they had already agreed to work with each other.
Jordan said, “Let’s not use such complicated examples about the past and future for now. Let’s just talk about the present. We’re in this room now, right?”
Shaun nodded blankly.
Jordan asked, “What’s outside this fort?”
Shaun was stunned for a moment before replying, “There are lawns, soldiers and weapons outside the fort.”
Jordan said, “No, I say that it’s a desert outside this fort.”
Shaun smiled. “That’s impossible. This is Chengdu, a large city. There are other cities nearby too. How can it be a desert?”
Rong Huangde smiled and joined in. “I say that outside this fort is the sea.”
Shaun’s expression changed. “Did something happen to your brains? Why don’t you let Dr. T examine you?”
Rong Huangde smacked Shaun’s head. “You fool, why can’t you understand? Let me ask you, can you see what’s outside the fort now? Let’s not talk about when you came in. Let’s talk about now. Can you see it this very second?”
Shaun shook his head.
Rong Huangde said, “So it can be the sea or the desert outside. Only when you really walk out of the fort and see those lawns can they really exist.”
Shaun was enlightened. “I understand! We’ve all experienced the past, but everyone’s understanding of the past is limited. It’s impossible for one person to experience everything in the past. So we can return to the past and can change things that we didn’t experience personally! Is that what you mean?”
Jordan and Rong Huangde nodded. Shaun finally understood. And this was indeed a very difficult concept to understand.
Jordan thought for a moment and said, “If we want to go back to the past and implant an idea into Victoria, I can’t do it myself because I didn’t do it in the past.”
Rong Huangde smiled and nodded. “That’s simple. Put on a mask or disguise yourself as an old man or an ugly freak and quietly approach her. Make her listen to you and then slowly implant that idea.”
Jordan said, “If I travel to the past, there will be another me in the past, right? It’s equivalent to having two Jordans at the same time.”
Rong Huangde nodded. “That’s right. Therefore, you must never meet your past self, or your worldview will collapse. But you don’t have to worry about that. Like I said, what should have happened has already happened. If you’ve really seen your other self in the past, it’s impossible for you not to know now.”
Shaun felt a little dizzy when he heard this.
However, he understood one thing. Jordan could return to the past and save Victoria. Moreover, he was about to do so. novelbin
Jordan said, “Mr. Rong, please let me return to the past and save my wife!”
He had confirmed that as long as he returned to the past and found an opportunity to implant the idea of growing old with Jordan into Victoria, she would wake up.
Jordan couldn’t wait to do this now!
However, Rong Huangde stretched lazily. “Ah, I’m so tired. Dr. T, give me a glass of whiskey.”
Rong Huangde ignored Jordan and walked to the side to drink.
Jordan knew that Rong Huangde would not help him so easily. Since he had chosen to come here, Jordan was already prepared to pay any price.
“Mr. Rong, if you’re willing to send me back to the past and save my wife, I’m willing to return to 30 years ago to help you explore the secrets of the Handley family, as well as the origin and secrets of the Deity.”
Rong Huangde was delighted. “Hahaha, Deity Jordan, you’re finally enlightened! Actually, you’re not helping me. You’re helping yourself and the entire human race. As long as I can know the Handley family’s spells and the secret origins of the Deity, I will have no regrets even if I die! Let’s not delay a moment longer. Why don’t we start immediately?”
Jordan said, “Before I help you, I have to save my wife, Victoria.”
Rong Huangde became cautious again. “Deity Jordan, your condition seems a little too much. Since you’re begging me to help you, you should solve my problem first before I can help you.”
Jordan was very determined. “I must save my wife first. I promise you that after I save my wife, I will definitely help you finish what you started. If you don’t trust me, you can let me take the poison you gave Shaun to control me!”
Chapter 906
Jordan offered to let Rong Huangde control him with poison so as to dispel Rong Huangde’s worries about him.
All for the sake of waking Victoria up as soon as possible. On one hand, he was doing this because he loved Victoria deeply and wanted her to wake up quickly. On the other hand, it was also for safety’s sake.
If Jordan helped Rong Huangde explore the secrets of the Handley family’s ancestors first, who knew what kind of danger he would encounter? He might never return. If Jordan died, who would save Victoria?
Jordan didn’t think Rong Huangde would be so kind as to save a woman who was as good as a stranger to him.
In addition, Rong Huangde had explored the Handley family’s secrets for so many years, but he had not discovered anything. Even if Jordan was a Deity, it would definitely take a long time.
Jordan didn’t want Victoria to wait that long. novelbin
Rong Huangde frowned as he quietly considered the feasibility of this matter. The Rong family’s poison was the most advanced in the world. It was not something other normal poisons could compare to.
Even if Jordan was a Deity and had a top-notch medical team behind him, he might not be able to develop an antidote in a short period of time.
One had to take the antidote once a week or they would die.
With this thought in mind, Rong Huangde was confident that he could use this poison to control Jordan.
However, he was reluctant to do so.
He didn’t want their relationship to be based on a threat.
Rong Huangde hurriedly said, “Jordan, what are you talking about? Why would I poison you? I’m not a demon who will poison people to control them. I gave Shaun the poison because I was worried that he would use my son’s identity to do nefarious things.
……
“As you know, he is a demon. He has killed countless people and enjoys the pleasure of being a ruler. Previously, he didn’t hesitate to use biochemical weapons to endanger so many innocent lives! If I was really someone who liked to kill and threaten others, I wouldn’t have spared Shaun’s life after he killed my son!”
Looking at Rong Huangde’s sincere gaze, Jordan was slightly moved. Perhaps this old man really had a good heart.
He had been the number one person in the world for the past few decades, and the world developed well. He had not abused his power or used advanced technology to commit bad deeds.
Jordan’s grandfather mentioned to Jordan before that Rong Huangde was a respectable person.
Rong Huangde sighed. “Jordan, it must be hard on you to love this ordinary woman so much. Alright, I’ll let you save your wife first. Then, we’ll discuss other things.”
Jordan was very excited. “Thank you, Mr. Rong!”
Rong Huangde agreed to let Jordan save Victoria first.
Shaun stood up. “Dad, I want to travel to the past with Deity Jordan, okay?”
Rong Huangde was a little surprised. “Aren’t you very afraid of traveling to the past?”
Shaun smiled awkwardly. “I’ll be following Dad sooner or later to explore the secrets of our Handley family. I’ll treat this expedition as training. After all, this particular trip wouldn’t be that dangerous.”
Rong Huangde smiled. “As long as Jordan agrees, I have no objections.”
Jordan nodded. “Alright, let’s go together. If anything happens to me, you can come back anytime and report to Mr. Rong.”
Jordan didn’t want to reveal that Shaun was going to help him. He didn’t want Rong Huangde to see that he had a good relationship with Shaun. Instead, Jordan made it sound as if Shaun could be used as a way to help Rong Huangde monitor him.
All of a sudden, Shaun said, “Dad, this is our first time traveling. As we are not familiar with the process and might take a long time. Can you give me the antidote for two weeks first?”
Shaun had to take the antidote once a week, or he would die.
Rong Huangde glanced at Jordan before agreeing to Shaun’s request.
Rong Huangde said, “I hope you can finish this within two weeks. Two weeks is enough to instill an idea into a simple woman like Victoria. If it were me, I would do it within a week.”
Victoria was not in a special profession, such as a special agent or assassin. She was just an ordinary businesswoman. To someone like Rong Huangde, he would find her very easy to deal with.
“Jordan, how far back in time do you plan to go?” Asked Rong Huangde.
Jordan thought for a long time. How far back in time should he return to?
One week? Or one month?
After pondering for a long time, Jordan said, “I want to go back to the first time I met Victoria. Two years ago!”
For some reason, Jordan suddenly wanted to go back to the first time he met Victoria. He wanted to experience the process of falling in love with Victoria all over again.
Moreover, the earlier he could implant the idea, the deeper it would take root in her heart and become an unshakeable notion.
Rong Huangde didn’t object. “Tell me the exact date. The year, month and day. I need to set the date for you on the Time Gate.”
Shaun smiled. “Deity Jordan, do you still remember the first time you met Victoria? I’m afraid you’ve already forgotten, haha.”
Jordan blurted out, “10 April 2020 was the first time I met Victoria. How could I forget?”
“Victoria isn’t the only one. I also remember very clearly the date I first met Lauren at the coffee shop.”
Rong Huangde went to set the date on the Time Gate.
Reaching out his old fingers, he set the date on the touch screen to 8 April 2020.
“Why did you set it two days early?” Shaun asked curiously.
Rong Huangde replied, “This is your first time travel. There will definitely be many things that you won’t be able to adapt to. You will need at least a day or two to adjust. Therefore, I brought forward the date by two days. The location is Orlando, right?”
Rong Huangde set the time-travel location to Orlando in the US.
“Now, come and collect this backpack which you will need.”
Rong Huangde asked Dr. T to give Jordan and Shaun a backpack each.
Opening the bag, there were many things inside, such as oxygen masks, protective suits, bank cards, cash, expensive watches, weapons and drones.
Shaun sighed. “This backpack is really comprehensive. Thank you, Dad!”
Rong Huangde looked at Shaun. “When you reach Orlando from two years ago, you have to protect Jordan at all times, understand? Jordan is a Deity, an important figure who can affect the world. Even if you die, you can’t let him die.”
Shaun smiled. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely protect him.”
Rong Huangde turned toward Jordan and extended his hand. “Jordan, congratulations on starting this exciting journey. I can guarantee that after this, you will fall in love with time travel. I wish you success!”
Chapter 907
Jordan was indeed quite excited. He didn’t know what would happen and what would change if he traveled back to two years ago.
This would be the most daring and exciting thing he had ever done in his life!
The two of them did not waste any more time. They put on their oxygen masks, carried their backpacks, and walked towards the Time Gate!
The white Time Gate kept spinning. One could vaguely see the dazzling light from another space-time.
The two of them walked to the door and realized that there was a mirror on the left wall. An image appeared in the mirror.
It was the image of Jordan and Shaun emerging from the Time Gate.
Rong Huangde saw the image and said with a smile, “You will return safely. Jordan, go back to two years ago and do it boldly. Make up for your regrets over the past two years within the rules. This is the purpose of time travel, right?”
Rong Huangde knew that Jordan was a cautious person and was not too worried that he would mess around with the past. On the contrary, he wished that Jordan would be a little bolder and not be too cautious in his actions.
Only when Jordan was completely familiar with time travel would he be able to explore the secrets of the Handley family to his greatest ability. novelbin
“Mm.”
Jordan nodded and didn’t say anything else. With that, he entered the Time Gate with Shaun!
“Don’t f*cking hold my hand!”
This was the last thing Rong Huangde heard Jordan say before the two men disappeared from sight.
……
“Sigh…”
Rong Huangde couldn’t help sighing when he saw Shaun and Jordan travel back to two years ago.
Rong Huangde muttered to himself. “Interesting. To think that the new Deity and the descendant of the mysterious Handley family travel back to the past together using my Time Gate. Hehe, Jordan, Shaun, both of you have huge secrets. I suspect that both your secrets are like rivers that will eventually converge at the same spot.
“I hope you both will have a good time over there. Have fun and resolve all your regrets, such as Hailey betraying you. You will only help me like a good boy after you have no more regrets.”
If Jordan was still here, he would definitely be very surprised.
Rong Huangde knew about Jordan’s entire history with Hailey. He knew everything about Jordan’s past relationships.
Rong Huangde picked up his glass of whiskey again and ordered Dr. T, “Dr. T, pull up all the video conversations between Jordan and Shaun in this house over the past two days. I want to see them.”
“Yes, Master!”
…
Meanwhile, Jordan and Shaun had already arrived at their destination.
8 April 2020.
Beep beep beep…
F*ck…
Beep beep beep…
Jordan and Shaun felt dizzy. They could hear a lot of noises.
There was the honking of cars, the meowing of cats and the barking of dogs, as well as the sound of construction going on. Moreover, these noises seemed to have some major “delay” audio effect, creating a constant echo in their ears.
When Jordan opened his eyes, he saw the dazzling sky. The sun was at its strongest at noon, and the sunlight was so bright that no one dared to look straight at it.
Jordan realized that Shaun was still holding his hand. He hurriedly shook him off.
“Why are you f*cking holding my hand!”
Just now, when Jordan and Shaun were walking towards the Time Gate, Shaun suddenly grabbed Jordan’s hand from behind.
Shaun was also feeling very dizzy. He kept gasping and replied, “I was afraid.”
Jordan was speechless: ‘I formed an alliance with you because I wanted you to protect me. How have I become your protector!’
Jordan and Shaun took two steps forward, but they stumbled to the ground after just a few steps.
“Oh no, I’m too dizzy. It’s fine if I close my eyes, but if I open them and see anything, I’ll feel like spinning. What should I do?”
Shaun started to worry.
No wonder Rong Huangde had them travel back to a date two days in advance. It would indeed take some time to adapt to their first trip back in time.
Jordan was also sitting on the ground. He looked at the cars on the road and realized that they were all driving in reverse.
Shaun also realized that humans and animals walked in the opposite direction. He asked, “Jordan, we should have returned to the year 2020 now. Are things in this past world supposed to be the opposite?”
Jordan shook his head. “If this was a permanent thing, Rong Huangde would definitely tell us in advance. I guess it’s because we just experienced the Time Gate and were spun around, so everything we see is the opposite. Things should return to normal after a while.”
The two of them rested for more than half an hour before finally getting used to this new world and being able to walk slowly.
After walking for a while, the two of them arrived near a commercial district with more traffic.
Jordan said, “Find someone to confirm if it’s 2020.”
Shaun nodded. Just as he was about to ask someone, he suddenly saw a traffic police officer giving a ticket to a car that was illegally parked.
After the traffic police issued the ticket, Shaun walked over and retrieved it for Jordan to see.
The date on the ticket was clearly stated.
“Jordan, look. It’s indeed 8 April 2020. We’ve successfully traveled back in time!”
Shaun was overjoyed.
However, Jordan still felt uneasy. He was worried that he might fall into a trap set by Rong Huangde. He was worried that there was no such thing as time machines in this world.
Therefore, he had to confirm that he had really traveled back two years ago. Hence, he grabbed a beautiful woman who was walking toward them. She had a good figure and was wearing shorts.
“Ah, what are you doing!”
The beauty cried out.
Jordan said, “Pretty lady, I want to see your phone.”
The girl glanced at Jordan with a look of disdain. “If you want someone’s number, you should at least dress up before coming out. This is the most fashionable place in Orlando! Look at what the two of you are wearing. You’re both wearing oxygen masks as if you don’t have long to live. You don’t even dare to show your faces. I don’t even know what you two look like. How would I dare to give you my number?”
Shaun was impatient. “Why are you so polite to this silly girl? You can just snatch her phone!”
As the “world’s number one man”, Shaun didn’t have the patience to waste time with an ordinary pretty girl from Orlando. He snatched her phone and waved it in front of her face to unlock it with the facial recognition function.
“Hey, why are you like this? Why did you snatch my phone?”
The girl became angry.
Jordan didn’t waste any time. He took over her phone and opened the calendar. He saw the date on the phone.
It was indeed 8 April 2020.
Jordan was finally certain that he had indeed returned to two years ago!
Chapter 908
“We have gone back in time. We’ve really returned to two years ago!”
Jordan suddenly felt as if a lifetime had passed. He felt that all of this was like a dream. It was too magical. He could actually return to the time two years ago and meet and talk to people from two years ago.
Two years ago, he was still the son-in-law of the Camden family and was still undergoing the mental training arranged by his grandfather.
He was still in love with that b*tch Hailey and had yet to meet Victoria and Lauren.
Jordan had a subconscious feeling that he would be doing many things during this trip back in time!
Not just implanting an idea in Victoria.
“Are you crazy? Why are you looking at my calendar? Don’t you have a phone?!”
The pretty lady snatched her phone back.
She looked at Jordan and Shaun as if they were crazy before walking away.
Shaun patted Jordan’s shoulder and smiled. “How f*cking insane. We’ve really returned to two years ago! At this time I was still in Switzerland. Do you think I should go to Switzerland now and send a message to my past self to ask him to quickly bring Lota away? Otherwise, you’ll be snatching her away in another year!”
Everyone had past regrets, including Shaun.
One of his regrets was Lota.
He had raised Lota because he wanted to take her as his woman when she turned 18. However, just before she turned 18, she met Jordan and asked him to save her from the Swiss castle.
……
Jordan rolled his eyes at Shaun and threatened, “You can try.”
Shaun laughed. “I’m just joking. Hahaha, what will happen has already happened. Since you’ve already taken away Lota’s first time, even though I have come back in time, I can’t change that fact, right?”
Jordan shook his head. “No, Lota’s first time is still with her. She didn’t give it to me.”
Shaun was shocked. “Damn, stop fooling around. Didn’t you two sleep together?”
Jordan said, “On our way to the US from Chaoyang Park, she alluded to it. She said something about how she still hadn’t given away her first time. I don’t understand what she meant. Previously, she clearly said that when I was unconscious in that special room in Switzerland, she did it with me.”
Shaun couldn’t help chuckling. Jordan didn’t know the reason, but he did. However, he was too embarrassed to tell Jordan. He was also afraid that Jordan would beat him to death if he knew the truth.
Jordan could tell that something was up with Shaun. He asked, “Do you know something? What nonsense did you teach Lota?”
Shaun quickly changed the topic and pointed at a cafe in front. “I’m thirsty. I’m going to get a cup of coffee. Do you want some?”
Shaun walked to the cafe and was about to order a cup of coffee.
At this moment, a delivery rider suddenly attracted Shaun and Jordan’s attention! When Shaun noticed the young man wearing a helmet and delivery uniform, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
Jordan was taken aback by the sight of that delivery man.
The young delivery man turned around. Shaun and Jordan got a good look at his face at the same time!
“F*ck! It’s you!”
Shaun was shocked. He realized that the young man delivering takeout was none other than Jordan from 2020!
At this time two years ago, Jordan was indeed a delivery man!
[I’m the happiest every morning. I’ll meet you again on this train.]
After Jordan was injected with the Mirakuru serum, his hearing had improved a lot. He could even vaguely hear the music playing in Jordan’s Bluetooth earpiece.
It was his favorite song to play when he was out delivering takeout.
He didn’t expect to meet his past self from two years ago!
Jordan remembered Rong Huangde’s advice. He could not let his past self see him.
Otherwise, if a person saw someone who looked exactly like them, they would realize that something was wrong and their worldview would collapse.
Therefore, Jordan hurriedly took out a cap from his backpack and put it on. He lowered the cap so that his past self wouldn’t get a chance to see his face clearly.
Shaun was amused. He was looking at two Jordans at the same time.
Shaun said to Jordan, “Deity Jordan, how about I go greet your past self from two years ago?”
Jordan became nervous. “Don’t mess around!”
But Shaun just lowered his head and walked over.
At this moment, the Jordan from 2020 had just finished retrieving the takeout order from the cafe. He turned back to leave.
Bump!
Shaun deliberately bumped shoulders with Jordan from 2020.
“Excuse me.” novelbin
Jordan from 2020 was often in a hurry to deliver his orders. He thought that he was the one who had accidentally bumped into someone due to his haste. Therefore, he apologized first.
Without waiting for the other party to respond, he left on his motorcycle.
Looking at the back view of Jordan from 2020, Shaun smiled. “Look, nothing happened at all. Don’t be nervous, haha.”
But Jordan frowned and said, “I remember. I remember what happened just now.”
“Huh?” Shaun didn’t understand what Jordan was talking about.
Jordan said, “I remember two years ago, I was at a cafe in this district. After retrieving the takeout order, I bumped into a man wearing an oxygen mask. This really happened two years ago!”
Jordan suddenly recalled this incident. What just happened actually existed in his mind for the past two years!
Shaun smiled. “Indeed, what should happen has already happened. I understand more and more how time travel works.”
The two of them ordered two cups of coffee. Shaun took off his oxygen mask. After taking two sips, he couldn’t take it anymore and put the mask back on. They had just experienced a space-time reversal. For the time being, they could not survive without the mask.
Shaun was a little frustrated. “I’m tired and dizzy now. Let’s find a hotel to rest in. Anyway, you’ll only see Victoria the day after tomorrow.”
Jordan nodded and said, “But we won’t go to a hotel. Let’s go to the New City residential estate.”
Shaun felt that this place sounded a little familiar. He had previously investigated Jordan’s background and remembered that the New City residential estate was where Jordan lived with Hailey when he was married to her.
“Why are we going to the New City residential estate? Isn’t that where you live now?” Shaun asked.
Jordan said, “Yes, let’s get a house opposite my old house to monitor my past self.”
Shaun didn’t say anything. If it were him, he would also want to find a secret place to monitor his past self.
The two of them took a taxi to the New City residential estate.
“Which building did you and Hailey stay in?”
Shaun asked Jordan as they entered the estate.
Jordan pointed at the building in front.
Shaun smiled. “That one. Alright, let’s find a place opposite that building to monitor you and Hailey’s every move in 2020. Hehe, let’s go and rob someone. Let’s see which family is so unlucky!”
Chapter 909
Jordan and Shaun arrived opposite the building where Hailey lived. Their apartment was on the ninth floor so Jordan also went to the ninth floor of the opposite building.
Knock knock! novelbin
Jordan knocked on the door.
A woman’s voice rang out. “Who is it? What do you want?”
This was a high-end district in Orlando. There were cameras at the door and the woman inside could see Jordan and Shaun, and how they were dressed.
The two of them were wearing oxygen masks and completely wrapped up. They did not look like decent folk.
Jordan knew that she would not open the door so easily.
Shaun said impatiently, “Open the door quickly. We’re here to buy your house!”
“Buy my house? Don’t treat me like a three-year-old. I can tell at a glance that you’re not good men. Hurry up and leave, otherwise, I’ll call the police!” The woman threatened.
Shaun was about to speak again when Jordan stopped him.
Jordan shouted at the door, “You are Yasmine, right?”
Shaun was stunned for a moment. Jordan actually knew the owner of this apartment. No wonder he chose the ninth floor.
Actually, if it was for surveillance, it would be better to choose a higher floor.
……
The woman inside suddenly panicked. “How did you know? Why does your voice sound so familiar? Do you also live here?”
Jordan knew the owner of this apartment because he had come here before to deliver takeout. Coincidentally, they lived in the same neighborhood and were on the same floor, just from different buildings.
As this woman was quite good-looking and had a good figure, Jordan was able to remember her. In fact, not only did Jordan know her name, but he also knew her little secret.
Jordan said, “Yasmine, open the door. Otherwise, I’ll call your husband and tell him that you slept with someone else behind his back.”
Shaun was dumbstruck. This woman was having an affair?
Good lord, so many cheating women in this little estate.
“This place should be renamed Cuckold Residential Estate.” Shaun chuckled.
Jordan was not trying to fool her. He did know about her dirty little secret. He didn’t follow her on purpose. It was just a coincidence that he met Yasmine many times and knew what her husband looked like.
Occasionally, when he passed by a hotel entrance, he would see Yasmine holding the arm of an unfamiliar man as they entered the hotel.
Yasmine panicked. “You… you’re spouting nonsense! If you dare to spread lies, I’ll call the police to arrest you!”
Jordan said calmly, “Alright, call the police. Call your husband over too. I can send a photo of you and that man sleeping together to your husband to enjoy.”
Shaun was getting impatient. “B*tch, open the door quickly. Without evidence, do you think we’ll knock on your door?”
Yasmine opened the door shakily and let Jordan and Shaun in.
Yasmine’s house was quite luxurious. It was not much different from Jordan and Hailey’s place.
Yasmine was very nervous. “What do you want? Are you here to extort money from me? I can give you money if you promise not to tell my husband. However, I can only give you $10,000 at most. This is all the cash I have now.”
Jordan sat on the sofa and said, “We don’t want money. We just want you, your husband and your family to move out.”
Yasmine widened her eyes. “You want my house? That’s impossible. This house is worth more than $2 million!”
Shaun said angrily, “Cut the crap. We won’t be staying here for long. Just treat it as us renting this place. This is the rent!”
Taking out an exquisite watch from his backpack, Shaun threw it at Yasmine.
Yasmine looked at it and was overjoyed. “Oh my god, it’s an Audemars Piguet watch from the Royal Oak Offshore Collection. It’s worth over a hundred thousand dollars!”
Jordan knew her secret and they were still offering a watch worth a hundred thousand dollars in rent. As a result, Yasmine immediately agreed.
“Alright, I’ll persuade my husband to rent this house to you.”
Shaun urged, “Hurry up and move your things. I’ll give you two hours!”
Shaun was tired and didn’t want any trouble. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be bothered to give an expensive watch to this cheating woman.
Soon after, Yasmine moved her family’s personal belongings out of the house.
After Yasmine left, Jordan and Shaun fell asleep from exhaustion. They only woke up at eight in the evening.
Shaun rubbed his eyes. He no longer needed an oxygen mask and could breathe steadily now.
He took a big gulp of cold beer and said, “Finally, I don’t feel dizzy anymore. Even strong people like us have to rest for a long time after traveling back in time. That old man Rong Huangde will probably need to sleep for a day and night?”
Jordan was also awake but he did not answer. Instead, he took out a pair of binoculars from his backpack and looked at the building opposite. He saw that the lights on the opposite floor, in the apartment where he and Hailey used to live, had just been turned on.
“Yo, are you and Hailey home?”
Shaun also picked up his binoculars and took a look.
As they were too far away, Shaun could only see and not hear anything. He smiled. “I’ll install a surveillance camera and a listening device at your house. This way, you won’t have to keep looking through binoculars.”
As a member of the eight secret families, these high-tech devices were easily available to him.
Controlling an invisible drone, Shaun discreetly installed cameras and listening devices in various rooms in Haileys’ house, including the bedroom, living room and even the washroom.
Seeing that Shaun had installed cameras in the washroom, Jordan hurriedly stopped him. “Why are you installing cameras in the washroom? Remove them!”
Shaun smiled. “Why are you so nervous? You don’t love that b*tch anymore.”
Jordan punched him. “F*ck you. No matter what, Hailey is my ex-wife. How can I let you peek at her bathing?”
Shaun chuckled and put the camera away. He only installed a listening device in the washroom before controlling the drone to fly back.
All the surveillance equipment was ready. Jordan and Shaun sat on the sofa. They could see Hailey and past-Jordan’s every move.
At this moment, Jordan was cooking for Hailey.
Hailey was wearing a white Chanel T-shirt and white shorts, revealing her fair and beautiful legs. She was also wearing a pair of cute red slippers.
“Hubby, hurry up and make dinner for me. I’m starving,” Hailey said coquettishly.
She was already at the dining table and couldn’t wait to eat.
“Alright, it’s almost done.”
Jordan was busy preparing everything in the kitchen…
Chapter 910
Hailey took off her slippers and lifted her long and fair legs. She placed her fair and tender feet on the chair. Meanwhile, she hugged her knees with her slender arms. She was also holding a phone scrolling through social media.
At this moment, Hailey was still a virgin. She was also very young, and many people her age were still in university. She still exuded an innocent and childish aura.
[When I think of you, I feel like crying.]
[Oh, oh, oh, oh. Burn the paper and bury the willow tree.]
Hailey was watching a short reel on her phone. The tune playing in the video was the most popular song on the Internet in the past few days.
This was a characteristic of TikTok’s short videos. After a certain song became popular, about half of the videos you watched would feature that song. Hailey had only watched three videos, and two of them had this song as their background music.
Just this song alone was enough for Jordan to confirm that the current year was indeed 2020. Traffic police tickets and the calendar of a passerby’s phone could be deliberately altered.
However, this particular song was only popular in April 2020.
If it was in 2022, it would be impossible to continuously hear this song on social media.
It was apparent that Hailey enjoyed this song. She would nod her head in time to the tune. She put on her shoes again and walked to the kitchen. She asked Jordan, who was cooking,
“Jordan, listen to me sing this song.”
[When I think of you, I… oh, oh, oh, oh. I wish I hadn’t slept for so long.]
“How is my singing?”
……
As Jordan cooked, he turned to look at her with a blissful expression. At this moment, Jordan still liked Hailey very much. The two of them had been together for three years and were getting used to each other.
If one of them would be returning home late due to work that day, the two of them would call each other and chat for a long time.
Jordan smiled. “Which part are you referring to? If it’s the words part, it’s just so-so. But your “oh oh oh” was quite nice.”
Smack!
Hailey smiled shyly as she smacked Jordan on the back. “Annoying! Jordan, you pervert!”
Hailey had a smile on her face. She did not mind Jordan teasing her.
“Hurry up and cook. I’ve had a long day and want to eat.,” Hailey urged Jordan before scrolling through her phone as she returned to the dining table.
Soon, Jordan placed Hailey’s favorite dish, stir-fried shrimp with cucumber, on the dining table.
“Wow, it smells so good. Hubby, your cooking is really good! Quick, get the cutlery. Hurry, hurry!”
Hailey praised as she urged Jordan.
Handing her a fork and spoon, Jordan said, “I am not just good at cooking, I have many other merits.”
Hailey said with a look of disdain, “Forget it. You’re just a little handsome and cook well. What else are you good at? But never mind. You married into my family. I can’t ask too much from you.”
After eating, Hailey said coquettishly to Jordan, “Hubby, my shoulder aches a little. Come and give me a massage.”
Jordan, who was still eating, quickly put down his spoon and walked behind her.
Before he could reach out, Hailey reminded him. “Hey, you can only massage my shoulders. Don’t think about touching other parts of me, understand?”
Jordan felt aggrieved. This was not the first time Hailey said such things to him.
As Jordan massaged her shoulders obediently, he asked, “Hailey, we’ve been married for three years. When can we be a real couple?”
In the three years they had been married, Hailey slept in separate rooms from Jordan. The two of them were very close and often said many sweet nothings to each other.
However, the two of them had not made much progress in the bedroom.
Hailey said, “We’ll see when you can obtain my parents’ approval.”
Hailey also felt that it was unfair to Jordan, but she had no choice. Her mother, Sylvie, often reminded her not to sleep with Jordan.
Otherwise, if she divorced Jordan in the future, it would be difficult for her to marry again.
“We just need to get your parents’ approval?”
Jordan looked relaxed.
He calculated the dates. Tomorrow would be 9 April 2020.
On this day three years ago, Jordan began the “live-in son-in-law” training mission arranged by his family.
Tomorrow would be the day the mission came to an end!
In other words, after tomorrow, Jordan could tell the Camdens that he was the son of a billionaire! By then, Sylvie and Benedict, these money-loving snobbish parents, would be begging Jordan to sleep with their daughter!
A smile gradually appeared on Jordan’s face.
Hailey noticed Jordan’s smile. She asked, “What are you thinking about? Why are you so happy?”
Jordan naturally couldn’t tell her what he was thinking about. Otherwise, the mission he had endured for three years would be wasted.
Jordan said, “Oh, it’s nothing. I just remembered that tomorrow is our third anniversary.”
Hailey was stunned for a moment. She clearly didn’t remember their anniversary. “Is it… tomorrow?”
Hailey’s expression became a little awkward.
Jordan was familiar with psychology and could tell at a glance that she was a little nervous. He asked, “What’s wrong? Do you have something on tomorrow? Aren’t you coming back tonight?” novelbin
Hailey hesitated for a moment before saying, “I should be able to come home at night. What are you planning?”
Jordan said, “I’ll make a few of your favorite dishes. Let’s have some wine to celebrate, okay? Tomorrow, I have something very important to tell you.”
Beep.
Hailey’s phone beeped with an incoming message.
Hailey didn’t read the message because Jordan was standing behind her and could see her phone screen. She pressed the lock button and held the phone in her hand, afraid that Jordan would snatch it away.
“Oh, let’s talk about it tomorrow. I’m going back to my room to rest,” she said instead.
With that, Hailey returned to her room.
After returning to her room, Hailey sat on the bed and opened the message.
The moment Hailey opened it, Jordan ordered Shaun, “Zoom in and point the camera at Hailey’s phone screen.”
Shaun had planted a hidden camera in Hailey’s room.
Although it was so small that it was invisible to the naked eye, the clarity was very high and it could zoom in very close.
Shaun operated the device. Soon, they could clearly see the contents of Hailey’s phone.
The message was very flirtatious.
‘Baby, is it convenient to video call? I miss you.’
The sender was Tyler Collins!
