Chapter 1176: Little Angel and Psycho 18

Amid the doubtful gazes of everyone in the room, Jin Chen stood up, then froze.

Jin Chen scanned the crowd, then sat down again.

His deep, handsome face was set, extremely cold.

All the relatives who knew his legs were not disabled were still immersed in shock.

0731 saw through everything.

【Let you be lazy sitting all the time, your legs gone numb, huh hahahaha! I even thought you were going to pull a big one!】

【……】

Jin Chen gritted his molars, locked the schadenfreude‑filled 0731 in the small dark room, gave a low cough, and continued.

"As you can see, the so‑called disability is merely a smokescreen; you are all core members of the Jin Family and should know whom to work with to stay alive."

Thus, another person who had been kneeling on the ground stood up, and in the end only the injured man and his wife remained.

Jin Chen lowered his eyes, "You have backbone."

"... Hiss, I had forgotten."

Jin Chen suddenly recalled the original owner's memories and said wryly, "That car accident that crippled my legs was plotted by you together with Jin Xiangming."

No wonder, when he stood up just now, he looked like a mouse seeing a cat.

"Sir, the head of the Jin Family is looking for them."

The aide standing by the door heard the servant's report, immediately approached to inform, and glanced at the two people on the ground.

"They mistakenly entered my residence tonight and were bitten to death by wolves."

Jin Chen stared at them as he spoke, his smile growing ever more frenzied, as if venting the bone‑deep pain of that car accident.

"Just ten minutes later."

"No!! Jin Chen! You… uh!"

The man flared with rage, but as soon as he opened his mouth he was injected with a drug, and he and his wife simultaneously lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

The black‑clad bodyguard who had received the order to feed the wolves put away the syringe and dragged the two out through a secret door.

This scene again filled the others with dread.

Jin Chen's people could now move freely about the old residence.

The little girl who had just seen blood on Jin Chen's hand quietly handed him a tissue; she was still afraid, but she gathered her courage.

Jin Chen took it casually, then pulled out a check as a reward.

Others: "……"

Damn, this guy just can't spend all his money!

"Please disperse for now; I will have someone invite you again."

Jin Chen tossed the tissue aside and gestured for the aide to open the door.

After the crowd had gradually left, the aide reported, "It's time for the gift‑giving segment."

Jin Chen hummed, "What is Xi Er doing?"

"The young lad went to the garden to wait as you instructed, with three bodyguards following; he should be fine."

"Come on, let's give that 'good mother' a big gift."

Jin Chen once again put on a teasing smile.

——

Xi Er's situation here is not good.

Not long after arriving in the garden, Xi Er, who was alone admiring these beautiful flowers of Diqiu, collided head‑on with Jin Zhiyan, who had been specially summoned.

Xi Er did not want to speak to any stranger.

Moreover, he is Luo Rui'an's lover, which to him is no different from an enemy.

Xi Er turned and walked away, his steps growing faster.

Jin Zhiyan grew somewhat anxious, took a shortcut from the other side of the corridor to intercept him, "What are you running from?"

Xi Er frowned, stepped back a few paces to keep his distance, his voice cold.

"What are you chasing?"

"I…"

Jin Zhiyan lifted his gaze, suddenly staring blankly.

Even though they are twin brothers, there are differences; under the moonlight, Xi Er wore a light‑blue shirt and formal attire, his hair loosely draped, resembling a moon‑night elf… truly handsome.

Jin Zhiyan's gaze made Xi Er even more uncomfortable, and he again wanted to leave.

Having come to his senses, Jin Zhiyan hurriedly blocked him, his tone urgent, "I have something to say to you!"

"It's about Jin Chen."

Xi Er's steps halted, he turned to face him, "Go ahead."

Jin Zhiyan organized his words, his attitude sincere.

"I know you come from Tian Shi Xing, you are completely unfamiliar with this place, and you have never learned about my uncle's past."

"But… I still want to tell you."

Jin Zhiyan's expression gradually became hard to put into words, "Do you know… why my uncle has a mental illness?"

Xi Er shook his head.

Seeing him take the bait, Jin Zhiyan secretly rejoiced inside, while outwardly he remained sorrowful.

"Because of a car accident… in order to survive he spared no expense, yet he personally witnessed his birth mother lose her life before his eyes."

"Afterward he seemed to have changed his nature; even before we separated, we often saw in the backyard various small animal carcasses he had dissected… truly frightening."

"Not only that, he! He also… he also killed people."

Xi Er listened expressionlessly, then suddenly asked.

Why do you have to tell me?

Jin Zhiyan looked at him gently, light rippling in his eyes, "Because I want you to live, not to be suddenly killed by him one day."

Don't you think... he's ruthless? To get what he likes, he'll spare no expense, even if it destroys it, he won't let it escape.

Xi Er: "I don't think so."

Jin Zhiyan blinked, "... What?"

He was a bit taken aback, but saw Xi Er lift his eyes, the blue in his depths growing ever deeper, like a bottomless sea.

Other people's lives have nothing to do with me.

Jin Chen won't hurt me.

Xi Er said, his eyes flickering, even thinking in his heart that if it were truly as Jin Zhiyan said, he wouldn't need to worry about Jin Chen abandoning him.

He will always belong to Jin Chen.

A secret excitement rose in his heart; Xi Er slowly curled his lips, his snow-white lashes trembling, wishing he could see Jin Chen right now and then demand a kiss.

Xi Er curled his lips and actually said to Jin Zhiyan, "Thank you."

Jin Zhiyan:???

He watched Xi Er slowly walk away, utterly baffled as to what he was thanking for.

Weren't you just threatening him?! You've added so much embellishment, isn't that enough to scare someone?

Jin Zhiyan took a long time to come to his senses, silently cursing that both of them were lunatics.

He still wanted to chase after him, but then received a message from Jin Xiangming, urging him to hurry back to the banquet hall to deliver a gift to his grandmother.

Jin Zhiyan glanced up at Xi Er's solitary back sitting beside the flower bushes, clicked his tongue in reluctance, and hurried back to the banquet hall.

Jin Chen sat in the corner; seeing Jin Zhiyan walk in, he suddenly received a notification.

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +5, total 60!】

Jin Chen raised his brows in surprise, brought up the spatial display, and saw Xiao Tian Shi sitting alone in the flower bushes, as if in a daze.

After looking for a while, Jin Chen's lips curled up, and he finally came to his senses.

When it was Jin Chen's turn to present the gift, the guests on both sides were eagerly anticipating, after all, every year it's a big surprise.

It's strange to say, I don't know why the Jin family members, despite having torn apart their faces, still insist on putting on a show of maternal kindness and filial piety.

Jin Chen moved forward in his wheelchair, gesturing for the assistant to bring the items up.

This year's gift is very suitable for you.

The red cloth was lifted; when Fu Suhua saw the object clearly, the smile she had feigned twitched, and she trembled with anger.
