Chapter 2671 It’s raining in Nancheng tonight 32
Late at night, at Lin Island Bar.
Jin Chen was mixing drinks for several regular customers who had pre-booked and topped up their accounts at the main bar, which, unsurprisingly, attracted a lot of attention from those around him.
However, the bar had been open for some time, and those who confessed their love to him were repeatedly rejected. People gradually accepted the owner's cold-heartedness, and things were finally somewhat peaceful.
Ren Xian walked into the bar and saw this scene.
From this angle, Jin Chen is surrounded by people, and he looks like a sharp, lazy, and unpolished but aggressive blade.
Ren Xian sat down in a booth not far from the bar, propped his chin up with his hand with interest, and watched Jin Chen's figure for a while.
Huo Feng, carrying a wine glass, passed by, saw him, stopped, and casually asked, "Why are you here again?"
Ren Xian raised his eyes, a half-smile on his face. "When you're in business, how can you not let customers come?"
Huo Feng shrugged, not wanting to get involved in his good brother's love triangle, and quickly slipped away.
Their conversation was also observed by regulars at the bar. As the protagonist, Ren Xian was naturally outstanding in appearance. Coupled with his overly familiar expression when looking at Jin Chen, it reminded several people of the rumors circulating in the group a few days ago that the boss was already taken. They immediately felt like they had stumbled upon some fresh and hot gossip.
Unable to contain their curiosity, someone approached Ren Xian and tentatively asked, "You wouldn't happen to be Boss Jin's boyfriend, would you?"
Ren Xian watched as Jin Chen temporarily left the bar and headed backstage, feeling rather regretful that he wouldn't be able to drink a drink made by Jin Chen himself.
Upon hearing this question, he immediately burst into laughter, leaning lazily back on the sofa and resting his chin on his hand, asking in return, "What, do I look like a good match for him?"
"They're not a good match."
The indifferent voice rang out before the guests in the booths could speak.
Jin Chen walked out from the side corridor, glanced at Ren Xian who showed no embarrassment, and turned to the curious guests, "My boyfriend isn't here."
The people who asked the questions were quite embarrassed, apologized repeatedly, and quickly dispersed.
Ren Xian then slowly straightened up and smiled at Jin Chen, "What a pity, we almost let them misunderstand."
He toned down his joking expression. "But I've come to see you today because I have something important to discuss."
Ren Xian waved the small silver USB drive in his hand. "I know you've never given up on the idea of getting Xie Shao in jail completely. I have something here that might solve the problem once and for all."
Jin Chen indeed had not given up on this plan.
Even though Xie Linzhou said he would no longer be obsessed with revenge, given Xie Shao's character, it's hard to guarantee that he won't cause trouble again someday.
Xie Linzhou could no longer withstand any more unexpected blows.
Jin Chen lowered his eyes and pondered for a few seconds before saying briefly, "Let's talk upstairs."
The lounge on the second floor.
After Jin Chen entered, he sat down on the single sofa and opened his laptop. Ren Xian followed him in and closed the door behind him.
Jin Chen sneered, "You really can't keep a secret, it doesn't matter whose it is."
Ren Xian sensed the sarcasm in his words but didn't seem to care. Instead, he smiled and said, "I suppose you're praising me for having any use, but..."
He changed the subject, looking at Jin Chen meaningfully, "I might not be able to keep a secret from you."
Jin Chen ignored him, opened a folder on the computer, and turned the screen towards Ren Xian.
"Look at this first."
Ren Xian glanced at the screen casually, and a few seconds later, the smile on his face froze, and his expression gradually darkened.
What was displayed on the screen was enough to bankrupt his businesses.
Ren Xian's joking expression vanished, and a chill inexplicably crept up his spine.
At that moment, he also realized that Jin Chen was not someone that anyone could easily control.
In such a situation, this man was still able to say something that could instill despair in people with such a calm tone.
Jin Chen looked away. "I told you, don't mess with me."
Ren Xian: “…”
Jin Chen picked up the USB drive and toyed with it between his fingertips. "What kind of reward do you want?"
Ren Xian twitched the corners of his mouth, and the words he had prepared to bring up about going on a date rolled in his throat, but he just couldn't say them.
He changed to a more practical request: "I won't make things difficult for you. I just want a clear guarantee that you won't target my club again."
But I was still unwilling to give up.
Ren Xian looked at Jin Chen, trying to see something in his eyes, but it was like looking at flowers through a fog.
He couldn't help but ask, "Given Xie Linzhou's intolerant nature, what are the chances of you two getting back together? Since you've already broken up, why not try someone else?"
Ren Xian leaned forward slightly, trying to close the distance, his tone ambiguous as to whether it was enticing or persuading.
"Am I not good to you? In fact... I knew you before he did."
This was not the first time he had shown goodwill towards Jin Chen. Whether it was the slightly dejected and gloomy boy from many years ago or the aloof and outstanding man now, he seemed reluctant to give anyone an emotional response.
Ren Xian could never understand why it had to be Xie Linzhou.
"Do you think you know him well?" Jin Chen said coldly, leaning back to create distance.
Do you think you know me well?
Outside the door, a cold voice and Jin Chen's words rang out simultaneously.
The door to the lounge was pushed open, and Xie Linzhou stood in the doorway, looking sharply at Ren Xian.
Huo Feng, who brought the group up, peeked half his head out from behind Xie Linzhou and exclaimed in amazement, "Wow, it's really lively here! Alright, I'll make room for you guys, I promise no one will bother you anymore."
After saying that, he closed the door tightly and decisively.
