Chapter 2865 Why Does My Wife Follow Me Every Day? 24

That afternoon, Jinchen went out as usual to handle the ordering and settlement matters of several regular suppliers.

Before leaving, he informed Yun Jian that he would be back in about two or three hours and that Yun Jian should eat lunch first.

Yun Jian was repotting a newly arrived snow willow at the time, his hands covered in soil. Hearing this, he nodded, leaned over and kissed Jin Chen on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Come back soon."

Everything was normal at first. After finishing his work, Yun Jian sent a message to Jin Chen, but there was no reply.

Yun Jian thought that Jin Chen was probably driving or talking to a supplier and hadn't checked his phone.

Another hour later, Yun Jian prepared a simple lunch, took a picture, and sent it over:

I made your favorite dishes, but it's a pity you're not here. What would you like to eat tonight?

This time, it still went unanswered.

Yun Jian put down his phone and looked at the food on the table, but suddenly lost his appetite.

He finished eating by himself, cleaned up the dishes, sat on the sofa, and started frequently checking his phone.

Two hours passed.

Three hours passed.

Jin Chen said it would take a maximum of three hours.

Of the three raw material stores in the city, the furthest one is in the north of the city. Even considering traffic jams and necessary conversation time, it should not exceed this time limit.

Moreover, Jin Chen is always organized, and if there is any delay, he will definitely send a message in advance.

But now, a full four hours have passed.

No phone calls, no messages, nothing.

Yun Jian sat in the flower shop, holding her phone, the screen flashing on and off.

He sent Jin Chen messages one after another, anxious and restless.

Are you still busy? When are you coming back?

Why aren't you replying to my messages?

- Answer the phone.

Why aren't you answering my calls? Honey, where are you?

Jinchen, where are you? I'm so worried about you. Who are you with? Are you too busy to answer the phone?

Answer the phone...

Yun Jian stared at the screen and dialed the number again, but still no one answered.

Anxiety gripped him, tightening its grip until he could barely breathe.

He bit his tongue hard, harder and harder, until he tasted blood, his lips were bitten raw and bleeding.

Below is a long list of fifteen missed calls.

Yun Jian suddenly stood up, opened the door, and hurried downstairs.

coffee shop.

The store had just finished its peak customer flow after get off work, and there were no customers at the moment. Only Xiao Liu and another waiter were tidying up.

Seeing Yun Jian enter, Xiao Liu greeted him with a smile. "Boss Yun."

Yun Jian: "Where did Jin Chen go today?"

Xiao Liu was taken aback for a moment, "The boss went to get more stock, didn't he tell you?"

“The three raw material stores he collaborates with are all in this city,” Yun Jian said. “Even with social engagements, according to his previous habits, the round trip would not exceed three hours, even for the furthest one.”

"Besides, Jin Chen hasn't replied to my messages for four hours."

Xiao Liu: "..."

He and the waiter next to him exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat bewildered.

"We don't know either." Xiao Liu was startled by him and said in a low voice, "When the boss left, he only said he was going to get some goods, but he didn't specify which store he was going to."

Remembering something, Yun Jian asked, "Was Tan Quan not in the shop today?"

Xiao Liu felt uneasy under his gaze. "Yes, Tan Quan and Song Cun went out for a walk and said they'd be back later."

Yun Jian narrowed his eyes.

He didn't understand why Jin Chen insisted on interfering in Tan Quan and Song Cun's affairs.

Although he knew Jin Chen had his reasons, his anxious emotions made him unable to resist being jealous and even taking his anger out on others.

They must have gone to the underground casino again.

Yun Jian stared at his phone screen, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he sent another message.

I've come to find you, baby.

-

Meanwhile, in the underground boxing ring in the south of the city, in section D.

Jin Chen is indeed here.

But this time, he really wasn't there because of Tan Quan and Song Cun.

He drove to a supplier in the east of the city to buy goods, and on his way back, his car was blocked by several black SUVs.

Several people got out of the car, wearing purple masks. They were respectful but tough, saying that someone had invited Boss Jin to sit in the underground arena.

Jin Chen refused, but the other party handed her a folder.

He opened it and looked inside. There were several sets of photos, all of Yun Jian in his early years, some of which even looked like archival photos.

There was also a gene report, filled with dense data, all from Yun Jian.

Jin Chen stared at the photos for a few seconds, then closed the folder, a faint smile playing on his lips, his eyes dangerous.

If Zero Rolling were here, it would definitely scream and explode, indicating that the host is about to cause trouble again.

“Lead the way,” he said.

So he was taken here, to section D of the underground boxing ring.

Unlike the audience areas I've visited before, Section D is more secluded, and even requires special handling of communication equipment.

Jin Chen was led into an office.

The office was large, and a man was sitting on the sofa, wearing a red mask and a dark gray suit. He looked to be around forty years old.

The other party claimed to be the private secretary of a certain big boss.

Song Cun and Tan Quan were also "invited" over and sat on chairs on the other side of the office. Their wrists were loosely bound with special soft tape, and their mouths were taped shut, so they could only make muffled sounds. Their eyes were filled with anxiety and worry, especially Tan Quan, whose eyes were wide open and who kept winking at Jin Chen.

Jin Chen acted as if he hadn't seen them at all, and even took the time to look at the office decor before sitting down on the sofa opposite them, his posture relaxed and even a little lazy.

To outsiders, he still carried the faint aroma of coffee, making him look just like an ordinary coffee shop owner.

But this secretary dared not take anyone who caught Yun Jian's eye lightly.

"What brings you here?" Jin Chen asked calmly.

The secretary smiled and said in a gentle voice, "Mr. Jin, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"The main reason I invited you here today is to... talk about Mr. Yun."

The secretary's tone was somewhat meaningful, "We all know that Boss Yun cares about you, but as an ordinary person, provoking a beastman like him... you must be very afraid of him, right?"

"Afraid?" Jin Chen raised an eyebrow, seemingly intrigued by the word. "Why do you ask that?"

The secretary was not in a hurry and slowly began to list Yun Jian's terrifying deeds.

He even clapped his hands, signaling his men to bring in a few orcs.

Those orcs all looked miserable.

Some are missing arms or legs, some are blind, and some have faces covered in scars, completely disfigured.

They told Jin Chen what Yun Jian had done to them.

An orc with a missing right arm said that he had only accidentally knocked a book out of Yun Jian's hand when Yun Jian passed by, and Yun Jian had crippled his arm.

A beastman with crisscrossing scars on her face choked back tears. She had only made a few comments about Yun Jian's appearance and actions behind his back, and the next day someone had slashed her face more than a dozen times.

A one-eyed orc's voice was muffled as he said that he had his eye gouged out simply because he had upset Yun Jian.

Each of these orcs had a short story, but their endings were all tragic.

Yun Jian was known for his outspoken and violent nature, unpredictable temper, and cruel methods. He could inflict extreme torture on others over trivial matters.

Song Cun and Tan Quan listened in stunned silence.

Jin Chen listened quietly, his face expressionless, and even picked up the water glass on the coffee table and took a sip of water.

After everyone had finished speaking, the secretary finally spoke, her tone tinged with pity, "Mr. Jin, do you understand now?"

"Boss Yun isn't as harmless as he seems on the surface. He's a high-level beastman, and..."

"His emotions are very unstable."

"Being with him is like dealing with a tiger for its skin. If one day you anger him, or he gets tired of you, what will happen to you..."

Jin Chen put down her water glass, looked up at him, and then looked at the miserable-looking orcs next to her.

He tilted his head, his gaze from behind the black mask casually falling on one of the people, his voice flat.

"Yun Jian just feels that you made him unhappy?"

The orc paused for a moment, then nodded.

Jin Chen asked again, "Then why do you get in his way and make him unhappy?"

The orc being questioned: "???"

Other orcs: "???"

secretary:"……"

All the persuasion and threats he had prepared were shut down by this unconventional question.

Jin Chen seemed to be seriously considering this question, "Since you know he's not someone to mess with, why provoke him in the first place?"

“If you don’t provoke him or cross his bottom line, why would he attack you for no reason? In places like this, the law of the jungle is the norm.”

"Since you have chosen to live here, you should understand the rules. If you are not as skilled as others, or if you have ulterior motives, you can't blame anyone else for what happens to you."

Jin Chen's answer was nothing like that of an ordinary coffee shop owner.

The secretary's expression behind the mask shifted constantly.

He realized he might have seriously underestimated the man in front of him.

Just then, there was a rapid knocking on the office door.

A subordinate hurried in, leaned close to the secretary's ear, and whispered a few words.

The secretary waved for her subordinates to leave, then looked at Jin Chen with a complicated tone, "It seems that Mr. Yun cares about you more than we thought."

Jin Chen looked at him calmly, as if waiting for something.

“Perfect, you’ll see for yourself who he really is,” the secretary said.

He pressed a button on the remote control in his hand.

A screen on the office wall lit up and began projecting surveillance footage.

The image shows the entrance to Zone D.

Yun Jian's figure appears prominently in the scene.

His dark brown curly hair was somewhat messy, and his face was expressionless, but his deep black eyes were filled with an almost violent coldness.

He was holding a gun, and a bunch of people lay dead behind him.

They were all guards of Sector D, well-trained orcs, but now they lay sprawled on the ground, some unconscious, some struggling, and none of them could stand up.

Yun Jian didn't even look at them; he simply raised his eyes and looked at the surveillance camera.

Those deep, dark eyes looked terrifying on the screen.

Then he raised his hand and pointed the gun at the electronic lock at the entrance.

boom--

There was a muffled sound.

The lock was broken.

Yun Jian pushed open the door and went inside.

The screen switched to the monitoring view inside Zone D.

Yun Jian walked through the room, firing his gun as he went. Everyone who tried to stop him fell down in front of him.

Even herbivorous orcs, high-ranking orcs, exert a deadly pressure on low-ranking orcs.

The aura that Yun Jian was releasing at this moment was cold, violent, dark, and filled with killing intent.

There was dead silence in the office.

Song Cun and Tan Quanyou were startled by Yun Jian's completely different behavior.

The secretary's face turned pale, and her fingers holding the remote control trembled slightly.

Only Jin Chen.

He was still sitting on the sofa, relaxed, with even a slight smile on his lips.
