Chapter 2859 Why Does My Wife Follow Me Every Day? 18
Tan Quanwei shrank back on the sofa, looking aggrieved. "The jackal and I... are both beastmen bred from the same genetic group. Rather than brothers, we're more like another version of ourselves."
Jinchen: "..."
He remained silent for a few seconds.
Orcs.
What a strange thing.
This is definitely not an ordinary world.
"So," Jin Chen sorted out his thoughts, "you are an orc, and the jackal is also an orc, so you are... clones?"
"More or less," Tan Quan nodded, "but not exactly the same. We each have our own consciousness and our own bodies."
Jin Chen didn't speak, her mind racing.
"Then how do we find the jackals?" Jin Chen asked.
Tan Quan's expression became even more conflicted. "Actually... I also find it strange. I saw the jackal die with my own eyes, so logically he shouldn't still be alive. But if it really is him..."
"If he catches Songcun, he won't let me go, nor will he let go of those who saved Songcun..."
Tan Quan stopped abruptly at this point.
He initially thought he would definitely not let Yun Jian go either, but then he thought again, Yun Jian is Mr. Yun from the underground boxing ring, does Jackal know that? Would he dare to touch Mr. Yun?
But when Jin Chen heard these words, they meant something completely different.
The person who will not let go of the person who saved Songcun is Yun Jian.
In the original storyline, Yun Jian was hated by Tan Quan for helping Song Cun, and in the end, the flower shop was ruined.
Although Tan Quan has changed, jackals have appeared, and the plot is still developing in the original direction.
Jin Chen's eyes turned cold.
Tan Quan was startled by the coldness emanating from him and shivered. He quickly explained, "I have absolutely no relationship with Jackal! The last time I went to the underground arena was to return the medal and then cut ties completely!"
Jin Chen glanced at him. "Pack your things, let's go find the jackals."
Tan Quan was taken aback. "You know where he is?"
Jin Chen said, "But there's always a way to find it."
As the two walked out of the lounge, they saw Yun Jian still standing by the bar.
He was holding his phone, on speakerphone, and answering a call.
Song Cun's sobbing came from the other end of the phone, along with another man's fierce voice:
"If you want this person to be unharmed, bring over what Songcun hid in the flower shop! Otherwise..."
The voice paused, then spoke slowly and deliberately:
"Yun Jian, Jin Chen, and my foolish hyena, I will not let you go."
When he heard his name, Yun Jian's expression did not change; he remained gentle and calm.
But upon hearing Jin Chen's name, his expression clearly darkened.
He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes concealing the fleeting murderous intent in them, making his smiling eyes appear inexplicably cold.
On the other end of the phone, Jackal gave the address in an arrogant tone, clearly not taking them seriously.
After saying that, the phone was hung up.
Jin Chenzhan thought this was a good thing, saving them the trouble of searching everywhere.
He walked over to Yun Jian and saw that Yun Jian had his head down, so he reached out and cupped his face, pressed his palm against his slightly cool cheek, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Yun Jian raised her eyes and looked at Jin Chen, her voice soft and gentle, "With you here, I'm not afraid."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but rub his cheek against Jin Chen's palm.
Yun Jian greedily basked in the worried gaze that Jin Chen was currently focusing on, as if Jin Chen could only see him in her world.
He pursed his lips and asked Jin Chen again, "Are you going?"
"I'm going." Jin Chen nodded, her tone firm. "But don't worry, I'll handle it."
Yun Jian didn't offer any further advice, only saying, "Then you should be careful."
After he finished speaking, as if unable to contain his emotions, he looked up and kissed Jin Chen's lips.
This was their first kiss while Jin Chen was awake.
Jin Chen reached out and gently touched Yun Jian's reddened earlobe. "Okay."
The two left the coffee shop.
Yun Jian stood at the door, watching the car leave. The gentleness and dependence on his face gradually faded, and his eyes darkened, becoming cold and gloomy.
How wonderful! Jin Chen did not resist his kiss, and even responded to his concerns and indulged his intimacy.
So, clearly today they could have taken it a step further—hug, hold hands, do whatever they wanted.
But it was disrupted by that foolish and arrogant wolf.
As soon as Xiao Liu looked up, she saw Yun Jian's expression. She had never seen the usually gentle florist look like that before, and she was startled.
Yun Jian noticed his gaze, turned his head, and glanced at him expressionlessly.
Xiao Liu shuddered.
Yun Jian didn't say anything, turned around and left the coffee shop.
He returned to the flower shop, went up to the second floor, took out his phone, and made a call.
"Send some people over."
“Keep an eye on him. If the jackal hurts even a single hair on his head... you know the consequences.”
The person on the other end of the phone shuddered and repeatedly agreed.
-
Abandoned cement plant.
This place has been abandoned for many years. The factory buildings are dilapidated, all the windows are broken, and the yard is full of abandoned cement pipes and steel bars.
Jin Chen and Tan Quan parked their car some distance away and walked in.
In the open space in the center of the factory, a jackal stood there.
He does look very much like Tan Quan, or rather, he looks very much like Tan Quan before he became a teenager.
But unlike Tan Quan, the jackal possessed a more pronounced wildness; its eyes gleamed with an eerie green light, its breathing was heavy, and...
It can't control its tail and muzzle.
A grayish-brown tail drooped down behind him, his mouth was open, revealing a few sharp canine teeth, and the muscles in his lips twitched unnaturally, making him look somewhat eerie.
Jin Chen looked away in disgust and clicked his tongue, "It's really outrageously ugly."
Tan Quan stared intently at the jackal, "You're really still alive..."
The jackal sneered, its voice hoarse, "Disappointed?"
“I’m very surprised,” Tan Quan said. “I saw you die in the ring with my own eyes.”
"I did that on purpose," the jackal said sarcastically. "Do you think everyone is as stupid as you, willing to be controlled by those people for the rest of their lives?"
Tan Quan didn't say anything, he just clenched his fists.
Jin Chen's gaze swept over the jackal, then landed on the corner of the factory.
Songcun was tied to a cement pillar, his mouth was taped shut, his eyes were closed, and he looked like he was close to unconsciousness, his consciousness was hazy.
"What do you want?" Jin Chen asked calmly.
The jackal turned its head and looked at Jin Chen, "One key, you..."
Before the words were finished, another set of footsteps came from outside the factory.
The jackal turned its head warily and looked towards the doorway.
A group of people dressed in black uniforms and wearing purple masks surrounded the place.
The purple-masked man at the head of the group took a step forward and said coldly to the jackal, "You have disturbed our distinguished guest. You should be taken back to the underground arena for retraining."
The jackal's expression changed. "...How did you get here?"
He abruptly turned to look at Tan Quan, his eyes filled with rage, "You actually managed to get the upper echelons of the underground scene to do this!"
Tan Quan: "??"
He subconsciously looked at Jin Chen.
Jin Chen stood there, his brows furrowing even more deeply.
Here we go again. It's been like this every time. Before he can even make a move, some kind of person always appears and takes care of the problem.
Who exactly is that pervert behind the scenes?
The purple-masked man at the head ignored the jackal's roar. He raised his hand and waved it lightly, and the other orcs subdued the jackal in no time.
The jackal struggled desperately, roaring, "The underground arena shouldn't concern itself with these matters! This is a personal feud between me and them!"
"Disturbing our distinguished guests is a matter for the underground," the purple-masked man said coldly.
"A distinguished guest?" The jackal's crimson eyes suddenly turned to Jin Chen and Tan Quan, finally fixing on Jin Chen. "It's him? What kind of distinguished guest is he! Just an ordinary human!"
The man in the purple mask paused slightly, nodded respectfully to Jin Chen, and then left with his men.
Several cars came and went silently, as if nothing had happened.
Jinchen: "..."
Tan Quan was stunned for a while before he realized what was happening and quickly ran to the corner to untie Song Cun.
Songcun had completely lost consciousness. Tan Quan picked him up, checked him over, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, he just fainted from fright."
Jin Chen looked at the empty factory, and the doubts in his heart grew stronger.
He took out his phone and, sure enough, received another text message from an unknown number.
