Chapter 2826 The Substitute Was Forcibly Taken by the Bandit's Wife 31

The sun shone brightly in the warm courtyard. Jin Chen lay lazily in a rocking chair, covered with a thin blanket, reading a book of supernatural tales in the warm sunshine. A Yan peeled an orange beside him.

Ling Gun Gun nestled on Jin Chen's shoulder, watching with great interest and occasionally offering a few comments.

[Hmm? Host, someone's here.]

The courtyard gate was pushed open, and the bandit rushed in, panting. He didn't care about etiquette and shouted to Jin Chen, "Young Master Jin, that Ruan Shutong went to the training ground to find the boss!"

Jin Chen paused in his flipping through the book and looked up.

The bandit, panting heavily, said, "He said he had a dream the night before, and the chief let him in to talk. The fourth chief told me to come and tell you right away!"

"A dream?" Jin Chen put down his book, his eyes calm. "Did Ruan Shutong tell me what kind of dream it was?"

The bandit shook his head. "I was standing far away, so I didn't hear very clearly. I only vaguely heard him say something about... past lives, reincarnation, and... mistaking someone for someone else..."

"What?!" Zero exclaimed in surprise. "What nonsense is this protagonist spouting?!"

Jin Chen suddenly stood up, surprised and suspicious. "Lead the way to the training ground."

Ayan quickly retrieved the outer robe, but Jinchen waved his hand, casually adjusted his cloak, and strode out of the courtyard.

Ayan and Xiaofei quickly followed.

-

Outside the training ground hut, Liu Mianfeng and the others gathered around, each with a different expression as they stared at the tightly closed wooden door.

Faint voices could be heard coming from inside, but they were not clearly audible.

Hearing footsteps, everyone turned around and saw Jin Chen walking quickly towards them, wearing a cloak and with a cold expression.

"Brother Jin!" Yan Qi hurriedly went up to him, lowering his voice, "Big Brother is inside, talking to that Ruan Shutong alone, talking about dreams and past lives, all very mysterious. You mustn't let Big Brother be bewitched by him!"

Jin Chen nodded to Yan Qi, and without stopping, walked straight toward the small house.

As they drew closer, Ruan Shutong's voice drifted out from inside, broken and fragmented, "In my dream, we shared so many past lives, how could you mistake me for someone else..."

Jin Chen didn't hear the rest of what was said clearly, but there was no need for her to hear it clearly anymore.

He was furious.

That bastard Ruan Shutong.

Can be killed.

Having received the signal, Yan Qi kicked the door open.

The wooden door opened with a click, revealing the scene inside.

Gu Fanghe stood in the room with his back to the door.

Ruan Shutong stood a few steps away from him, her face showing a hint of anticipation.

Hearing the sound of the door being broken down, the two of them turned around at the same time.

Jin Chen stood at the door, backlit, so his expression was not visible. His gaze went over Gu Fanghe's shoulder, landed directly on Ruan Shutong's face, and then looked away.

"Gu Fanghe, do you believe him?"

Gu Fanghe turned around, glanced at Jin Chen at the door, and then looked at Ruan Shutong in front of him.

Ruan Shutong was displeased when Jin Chen suddenly appeared and interrupted her, but when she saw Gu Fanghe looking at her, she thought that he had finally been touched and was overjoyed. She quickly pressed her advantage.

“Brother Gu, you wanted to hear me say what I said in my dream, and I have already said it.”

"How could you forget the many lifetimes we've shared? I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ruan Shutong suddenly shuddered and slowly lowered her eyes to look at her chest.

A section of the knife tip protruded, piercing through his heart.

"you……"

Ruan Shutong raised her head, staring intently at Gu Fanghe, her expression a mixture of confusion and horror, "Why..."

why!

Gu Fanghe... no, this wisp of the main god's soul, shouldn't we be shocked, shaken, and believe in him?

Gu Fanghe gripped the hilt of his knife, his face expressionless. "That was just a dream."

"So what if you can say it?"

He slightly turned his wrist, and the horizontal blade stirred inside Ruan Shutong's body.

Gu Fanghe stared into his unfocused pupils. "Why should I believe you just because of an absurd dream?"

Gu Fanghe remained expressionless, twisted his wrist, pulled out the horizontal sword, and then reinserted it in the same spot.

Ruan Shutong staggered back a few steps, then fell heavily backward to the ground, her body convulsing unconsciously, large mouthfuls of blood gushing from her mouth, her eyes completely glazed over.

Jin Chen blinked, his gaze shifting as Ruan Shutong fell to the ground, his expression softening.

Well... fine, I'm dead anyway.

He looked at Ruan Shutong's body and suddenly noticed that Ruan Shutong touched her earlobe.

Gu Fanghe casually tossed the blood-stained sword to the ground, turned around, and faced Jin Chen at the door, as well as Liu Mianfeng and the others who had gathered around after hearing the commotion.

His robes were splattered with warm blood. He exhaled a deep breath and ordered in a deep voice, "Drag him out and throw him into the old forest behind the mountain to feed the wild beasts."

"Yes!" Yan Qi was the first to react and quickly agreed, then beckoned two bandits to drag Ruan Shutong's body away.

"Wait a minute," Jin Chen suddenly said.

Everyone looked at him.

Jin Chen glanced at Ruan Shutong's hand that had just touched her earlobe, his eyes flashing slightly. "First... find an empty room and put the body in there. I need to go see some things later."

Yan Qi was taken aback, but still nodded despite his confusion. "Oh, that works too! I'll listen to Brother Jin!"

He directed the bandits to carefully carry Ruan Shutong's body out and dispose of it according to Jin Chen's instructions.

Inside the room, only a mess of bloodstains remained, along with two people standing opposite each other.

Gu Fanghe stood there, just looking at Jin Chen, his fingers twitching slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but the words stuck in his throat.

Jin Chen walked up to him, touched Gu Fanghe's face, and gently wiped away the glaring crimson blood.

"Our boss is truly a man of his word." Jin Chen suddenly smiled, his eyes crinkling.

Gu Fanghe suddenly raised his hand and grasped Jin Chen's hand that was touching his face, then placed it on his waist in a hugging motion.

He lowered his eyes and rested his forehead on Jin Chen's shoulder. "I'm sorry."

Jin Chen was slightly taken aback. "What?"

Gu Fanghe remained silent for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and finally looked up at Jin Chen.

“I told you before that you were the person in my dreams.”

"But now, I seem to have lost track of who the person in my dream is."

"I don't believe what Ruan Shutong said, but..."

Gu Fanghe shook his head and looked at Jin Chen, afraid that he might accidentally say something wrong and lose him.

"I told you before that the person in my dreams was you, so... was that a lie?"

This man, who was usually decisive, ruthless, and tough, now had a slight frown, revealing a somewhat vulnerable and uneasy look.

Jin Chen suddenly realized, then pretended to think for a moment, and then curled the corners of her lips, "This doesn't count."

He raised his other hand, cupped Gu Fanghe's face, and ran his fingertips over the dark red scar under his eye. "You told me, so it wasn't lying to me."

After saying that, Jin Chen leaned over and kissed Gu Fanghe's thin lips, which were stained with blood but still looked exceptionally sexy.

"This is a reward."

Jin Chen stepped back slightly, looking at Gu Fanghe's eyes that lit up because of the kiss, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

Gu Fanghe's tense thoughts relaxed, leaving only a heart full of love, the most sincere and the most precious.

He thought that the portrait should also be torn up.
