Chapter 2843 Why Does My Wife Follow Me Every Day? 02
Do not pick up any wild men found by the roadside.
On a rainy afternoon, the villain Yun Jian and the old owner of the coffee shop next door each picked up a person who had fainted in front of their shop.
Yun Jian picked up the protagonist Song Cun, whom his friend had asked him to look after for a while, while the coffee shop owner picked up the protagonist Tan Quan.
Tan Quan fights in underground boxing matches. He is ruthless and gets what he wants. He falls in love with Song Cun at first sight and follows him even in the rain. When he sees Song Cun faint for no reason, he tries to help him up but also feels dizzy. When he wakes up, he learns that Song Cun has amnesia.
When Tan Quan heard that Song Cun, who had lost his memory, had stayed to work at the flower shop, he spent a sum of money to insist on staying at the coffee shop.
The story begins here.
Tan Quan discovered a secret about Song Cun and began to openly threaten and entice him, demanding that Song Cun be with him. Yun Jian, naturally aware that Tan Quan was no good person, tried to stop him a few times out of concern for his friend's younger brother, which earned him Tan Quan's wrath, and he almost ruined the flower shop.
Therefore, Songcun endured the situation and got along with Tan Quan for a while. However, for Songcun, who had no memory, getting along with Tan Quan was really difficult, and he was afraid that he could not hide it.
Until one day, Songcun suddenly regained his memory.
That day, Songcun went missing, the flower shop closed, and Tan Quan, who was furious and had nowhere to vent his anger, ruined the coffee shop.
Some time later, Tan Quan died in an underground boxing ring.
Six months later, the flower shop reopened, but Songcun never returned.
Jin Chen is the unfortunate coffee shop owner.
Jin Chen lay on the bed, stared at the ceiling for a few seconds, and clicked his tongue.
What a nonsensical plot.
A slightly nervous voice came from 999's mind: "[Lord Jinchen, this is how the plot goes. It's raining tonight, and tomorrow is the key plot point where you and the Main God each find the main characters.]"
Jin Chen sat up in bed without turning on the light.
The street where the coffee shop is located is not a bustling street. At this time, most of the shops on both sides are closed, leaving only the streetlights casting a dim yellow glow in the rain.
His shop is on the street corner, next to Yun Jian's flower shop. The two stand-alone buildings are close together, separated by an old camphor tree.
The plot went through my mind again.
Jin Chen picked up the now-cold water on the table and took a sip. His brows furrowed slightly. This was too strange.
It seems as if some crucial information has been deliberately hidden.
Underground black boxing ring.
Jin Chen said to 999, "It wasn't mentioned much in the original plot, but Tan Quan has a deep connection to that place. I need to go check it out."
999 was shocked: [Are you going to kill the main character directly to prevent subsequent events from happening?!]
It's no wonder it's prone to overthinking; after all, Lord Jin Chen has already established a reputation for not playing by the rules in the Quick Transmigration Bureau, and even this new auxiliary system has been instructed to be flexible and adaptable.
Jin Chen raised an eyebrow, walked to the wardrobe, casually took out a black shirt and changed into it. His ambiguous smile was vaguely reflected in the window glass.
[Good idea, but I don't want to be bothered by the Heavenly Dao as soon as I arrive; constant thunder and rain are quite annoying.]
No sooner had he finished speaking than several muffled claps of thunder suddenly erupted outside the window.
"I'm just going to familiarize myself with the surroundings and see if I can do anything in advance," he explained while buttoning his shirt. "Songcun lost his memory tonight. If we can stop this, things might turn out differently."
999 remained silent, agreeing with what Lord Jinchen said, but also feeling that the attitude was a bit too relaxed.
Okay, I'll prepare the fake identity you need to enter the underground boxing ring right away.
At one o'clock in the morning, the rain eased slightly, but it had not stopped yet.
Following the address provided by 999, Jin Chen arrived at what appeared to be an abandoned industrial area in the south of the city. He stopped in front of a building marked Warehouse No. 9 and knocked five times on the side door as instructed.
The door opened a crack, and an eye peered at him in the darkness for a few seconds before the door was pulled open.
"A newcomer?" The man who opened the door wore a purple mask and had a husky voice. "Do you know the rules?"
"I know." Jin Chen handed over his ID card to be scanned.
Jin Chen accepted the black cloak and mask handed to him. The mask only covered the upper half of his face, revealing his lips and chin.
He quickly dressed and followed the guide inside.
The warehouse was much larger inside than it appeared from the outside. After passing through a narrow, dimly lit passage, a sunken circular space came into view, with a boxing ring surrounded by an iron cage in the center and tiered seating for the audience all around.
There were quite a few people, almost all wearing the same black cloak, only their masks were different colors.
Jin Chen quickly glanced at the list and memorized the rules 999 had mentioned earlier: red masks were for VIPs, white masks were for boxers, purple masks were for staff and guests, and black masks were for ordinary spectators.
The atmosphere here is a bit strange. Jin Chen couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong, but there was just a sense of unease.
The audience was excited, shouts rose and fell, and many people behaved with an indescribable wildness.
On the left, a man wearing a black mask was tearing at the edge of his glove with his teeth, while in front of him, someone was scratching his arm and neck with his fingernails, leaving red marks.
Jin Chen continued searching for his target in the crowd. According to the plot, Tan Quan should be here tonight, but after searching the audience and looking at the white-masked men waiting by the boxing ring, he couldn't find him.
Jin Chen walked towards another passage and was about to reach the end when he suddenly heard a muffled groan coming from inside.
He stopped at the corner and looked to the side.
Inside was a small room that looked like a temporary lounge or storage room.
A person wearing a white mask was curled up on the ground, his body trembling violently. His fingers were digging into the ground so hard that his nails were worn down and stained with blood. The muscles on his bare arms were bulging and the veins were standing out, indicating that he was in a very unstable state.
Jin Chen was about to back away when the man suddenly looked up, his eyes beneath the mask piercing the darkness and staring straight in his direction.
The two looked at each other for a second.
Jin Chen calmly withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.
He quickly walked out of the side passage and back to the main passage, but near the exit he brushed past a person who had just come in from outside; the person was wearing a red mask.
The two brushed past each other. Jin Chen stepped aside to avoid them, but the other person seemed to have no intention of lingering and walked straight out.
The man in the red mask took a few steps, but suddenly stopped.
He stood still, tilted his head slightly, his nose twitched, and his eyes behind the mask hardened.
After standing there for a few seconds, the man turned around and followed in the direction Jin Chen had left.
Jin Chen had already reached the outer area of the boxing ring.
We couldn't find the two main characters anywhere, but since we were already here, we couldn't leave empty-handed.
Jin Chen put his mask back on, found a relatively secluded corner to sit in, and turned his gaze to the central boxing ring.
The fight on the stage was nearing its end. Jin Chen was losing interest and, with no one to banter with, he was getting bored and was about to leave when he felt a gaze upon him.
Jin Chen's eyes behind the mask sharpened slightly as he looked to his side and rear, only to see a black cloak flash by and disappear.
After watching for a while, Jin Chen finally fell asleep and got up to leave.
Before long, the man in the red mask slowly walked out and sat in the seat that Jin Chen had just taken. His eyes were languid, but he couldn't help but breathe in the lingering scent in the air.
