Chapter 502: The Reason For His Betrayal

Over the past few days, not to mention Feng Yun, Lind Jones and Yuan Xi had also been trapped in the room that Liu Guang had arranged for them at the beginning.

Feng Yun did not have much of a reaction to this.

He ate and slept on time every day and spent the rest of the time quietly reading in his room.

Of course, he would occasionally open the door and ask Liu Guang why he was locked in his room, but he was always given an excuse by the people guarding outside.

They only said that they didn’t dare to guess Liu Guang’s thoughts.

Feng Yun didn’t ask further.

On the other hand, Lind Jones was considered to be cooperating with Liu Guang. At least, that was what it seemed on the surface. How could he not react when Liu Guang restricted his freedom?

Almost every day, he would flare up at the people guarding outside and ask to see Liu Guang. He even threatened that if Liu Guang did this again, he shouldn’t be blamed for being rude.

No one knew what Liu Guang was thinking. He simply ignored them.

Hei Yao followed Liu Guang out.

Other than the two of them, the two people who had been following Hei Yao for the past few days and could be deemed as his guides, were also following behind them now.

These two people were obviously Liu Guang’s trusted subordinates.

These people’s skills were not to be underestimated either.

After so many days, even Hei Yao could only spread the news of Liu Guang rejecting Yan Jinyu’s intention of using Min Sisi and the others as an exchange with Yin Xiaoxiao to Liu Yu.

Hei Yao had no idea where Yin Xiaoxiao was held by Liu Guang.

“Sir,” Hei Yao suddenly called out to him.

Liu Guang was puzzled and turned to look at him. “If you have something to say, just say it.”

“Isn’t it a little inappropriate for you to leave those people alone these few days? Forget about Feng Yun. His killing intent for you has never changed. Letting him go might cause unnecessary trouble. It’s better to lock him up, but Lind Jones…”

Hei Yao met Liu Guang’s probing gaze and his expression did not change. “Although the power of the Jones Family has been snatched by another, Lind Jones is not such a simple person.”

“It’s said that with your help, the Jones Family can surpass the Bruce Family and take back the status that originally belonged to the Jones Family. However, in fact, you only helped the Jones Family get rid of Old Bruce back then. It was all thanks to Lind Jones’s years of planning that the Jones Family could suppress the Bruce Family so quickly.”

“Do you think Lind Jones, who has been in charge of the Jones Family for so many years, will let his power fall into the hands of an illegitimate son so easily?”

Liu Guang looked at him and asked, “What do you want to say?”

“Sir, you know what I want to say. Why are you asking the obvious?”

Hei Yao’s attitude changed every now and then. Liu Guang couldn’t see through him in the past, and he couldn’t see through him now either.

He did know what Hei Yao wanted to say.

He wanted to remind him that Lind Jones wouldn’t be crippled just like that. He couldn’t believe that the power of the Jones Family had fallen into Bo Lang’s hands. He wanted him to not become enemies with Lind Jones.

“If Jones is capable, what’s his purpose of doing this then?” Liu Guang asked.

Liu Guang was asking Hei Yao and he had always been puzzled over that.

Ever since he saved Lind Jones from North City and brought him to Cloud City, Liu Guang had been suspicious when the Jones Family spread the news that Bo Lang had started to seize power and the process was very smooth.

However, Liu Guang could not think of a reason that could completely convince himself.

“Perhaps Lind Jones wants to take this opportunity to get rid of the illegitimate son of the Jones Family.”

“Lind Jones planned for three years, but that illegitimate son called Bo Lang betrayed him at the last minute. With Lind Jones’s temper, he probably won’t let it go.”

Liu Guang paused and frowned slightly when he heard that. He clearly believed Hei Yao’s words.

“He’s just an illegitimate son. It’s so easy to deal with him. Is there a need to go through so much trouble?”

“An illegitimate son is indeed nothing to worry about, but this illegitimate son is cooperating with her now. You also know how capable she is. Lind Jones was seriously injured in North City, so it gave that illegitimate son a chance. If that illegitimate son has her help, do you think it’s easy to get rid of that illegitimate son?”

Liu Guang knew very well who he was referring to.

Ever since the incident on Ghost Slaughter Island, Hei Yao rarely took the initiative to mention “her”, but every time he mentioned “her”, his expression clearly changed.

Liu Guang was used to this.

He would not suspect Hei Yao because of this.

After all, Hei Yao had chosen him between Yan Jinyu and him back then.

At that critical moment, Hei Yao chose to betray Yan Jinyu to save him. In Liu Guang’s opinion, Yan Jinyu wasn’t as important as he was to Hei Yao.

Even if he suspected Hei Yao, he definitely wouldn’t suspect him because his attitude towards Yan Jinyu was different.

In the early years on Ghost Slaughter Island, everyone, including Liu Guang, saw how friendly Hei Yao and Yan Jinyu were.

They all felt that it was normal for Hei Yao’s attitude towards Yan Jinyu to be different.

After hearing Hei Yao’s words, Liu Guang stopped talking.

However, he looked at Hei Yao again surreptitiously.

“Don’t worry, I know my limits.”

“You should be familiar with the environment here now. From tomorrow onwards, I won’t let anyone lead the way for you anymore. In this base, other than a few places that I don’t allow you to step into, you can come and go freely anywhere else.”

“Of course, you can go out if you want, but you have to inform me in advance. It’s not peaceful outside. If you want to go out, I’ll send more people to protect you.”

“There’s no need for that.”

As Hei Yao spoke, he looked up at him. “Previously, I wanted to go out to help you find Liu Yu. Now that Liu Yu has returned and it’s not peaceful outside, there’s no need for me to go out anymore.”

“However, if you have any other arrangements or missions that you need me to do, I can go out.”

Liu Guang’s expression softened slightly. “There won’t be any missions for you to do for the time being. Since you’re not going out, familiarize yourself with this place. I’ve thought about it and your words are reasonable. It’s indeed not good for us to make more enemies now. I’ll let Jones move freely here tomorrow. Watch him.”

“Although Jones is still on our side now, we have to guard against him.”

However, Hei Yao did not agree immediately. Instead, he frowned. “Move freely? Isn’t that too much? As long as we don’t trap him in the room and don’t allow him to go out, we can just allow him to move around in a small area. Move freely? I don’t think there’s a need for that.”

“Lind Jones isn’t one of us after all. You can’t trust him completely.”

When Liu Guang heard that, there was a hint of a satisfied smile in his eyes. “Do as you deem fit. As long as you keep an eye on him and don’t let him ruin things.”

Hei Yao nodded. “Yes.”

Liu Guang walked in front and the two people who were with them, followed after them.

They didn’t see Hei Yao walking in the middle looking at Liu Guang’s back with a flicker in his eyes.

It took them 20 minutes to walk from Liu Guang’s residence to Yin Xiaoxiao’s place.

“This is it.”

When Liu Guang stood in front of a mountain courtyard and said this, Hei Yao’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster.

He did not hide his emotions either. His joy was visible to the naked eye.

He looked at the courtyard in front of him and pursed his lips in silence.

Liu Guang glanced at him and then said, “Don’t you want to see your godmother very much? Why are you standing there? Let’s go.”

“Sir!” Two men in black with weapons stood outside the courtyard. The men in black were wearing masks and their faces could not be seen.

Seeing Liu Guang come over, they made way for him and bowed respectfully.

Hei Yao said nothing and followed in silence.

The environment in the courtyard was not bad.

A few small buildings were situated in the mountain. They were independent courtyards.

The courtyard was very big and there were many flowers and vegetables planted in the courtyard.

They even kept chickens.

Many of the vegetables in the courtyard were already ripe, and many of the flowers were blooming. The few osmanthus trees in the courtyard were also blooming well.

There were also sounds of insects and birds everywhere.

Stepping into the courtyard, he felt like he had arrived in a utopia.

Hei Yao was already clenching his hands in his pockets into fists tightly.

So what if it was a utopia? So what if Liu Guang treated his godmother well?

These were all built on his godmother’s pain. Liu Guang was always selfish. As long as he was happy, he would never care about others’ wishes.

Just like how he treated his biological mother back then.

Hei Yao was still young when his mother passed away and did not have much of an impression, but his memory was good when he was young. He still vaguely remembered that his mother died of depression.

After his mother left, Liu Guang sent him to his godmother to keep her company.

Although she said that he was keeping his godmother company, it was actually her who was keeping him company.

His biological mother’s death had dealt him a huge blow.

All these years, he had also found out the reason for his mother’s depression.

It turned out that Liu Guang had forced his mother to give birth to him.

In other words, her mother wasn’t willing to be with Liu Guang and give birth to him.

Liu Guang deserved to die!

Liu Guang should have died on Ghost Slaughter Island back then!

Yu’er was the one who led the plan to destroy Ghost Slaughter Island, but he had also participated in many things.

His determination to kill Liu Guang was not inferior to Yu’er’s.

Even though Liu Guang was his biological father!

However, he saved Liu Guang at the last moment.

It was not betrayal, but he suddenly realized that other than Ghost Slaughter Island, Liu Guang seemed to have other powerful forces. This was even something he had accidentally found when he was investigating his godmother’s whereabouts.

Originally, he wanted to save his godmother while destroying Ghost Slaughter Island and killing Liu Guang.

However, no matter how he investigated, he could not find his godmother’s whereabouts.

Only then did he investigate.

He really did find something.

Even if they killed Liu Guang at that time, Liu Guang’s other powers would still exist. At that time, those people would be in the dark and they would be in the open. It would be very disadvantageous to them.

It was not easy for them to escape from Ghost Slaughter Island. Be it him, Yu’er, or anyone else, they all wanted to live an ordinary life and did not want to leave such a hidden danger.

Furthermore, his godmother was still missing.

If those people found out that Liu Guang was killed by them, his godmother’s safety would not be guaranteed.

Hence, he saved Liu Guang and gained Liu Guang’s trust by infiltrating into his inner group and eradicating Liu Guang’s power. At the same time, he also investigated his godmother’s whereabouts to ensure her safety.

That was why he betrayed her later.

Undeniably, there was a reason for his betrayal.

However, a betrayal was betrayal.

Even if she didn’t mind his betrayal for a reason, with Yu’er’s personality, she wouldn’t forgive him for not telling her these things and choosing to face it alone.

Moreover, uuring his betrayal on Ghost Slaughter Island back then, in order to gain Liu Guang’s trust, he acted very realistic..
