Chapter 1359: Sharp-tongued, Arrogant Celebrity & Super-Rich Insecure Wife 35

Xiang Xiaoyu and Cheng Xi had finished picking; they should have taken advantage of Jin Chen not having found the answer yet, hurriedly left to buy time, but they were really curious what the token of this amazing couple would be.

After all, the remaining keys and locks, as well as the tokens between locks and locks, were even more abstract.

They unanimously decided to wait for Jin Chen to find the token, then compare speeds; anyway, Yang Ji, who didn't participate in the task, would bring up the rear.

Jin Chen: "The program team is definitely deliberately making things difficult for me."

He thought for a moment, then took the foremost key and the half-open lock.

This time it was Xiang Xiaoyu and Mu Sen's turn to ask the reason simultaneously.

Jin Chen said righteously: "I don't know."

Xiang Xiaoyu: "Then why did you choose this?"

Jin Chen pointed to the last two locks: "By elimination, I think Yang Ji's pair should be locked."

Xiang Xiaoyu: "……"

Mu Sen strained to hold back his laughter.

The three of them simultaneously flipped over the cards to judge, and they were actually all correct.

The explanation on Jin Chen's card was that no matter how hard the lock, it would find its own exclusive and unique key.

"That's not wrong either."

Jin Chen was quite satisfied with this explanation.

【Host!! Oh no!】

0731 now had eaten a lot, his voice full of vigor.

【Yang Ji used a dirty trick, the Main God was temporarily assigned a task, and now he's been locked up in the little black room!】

Jin Chen's expression suddenly changed; even though he knew the program team wouldn't harm Shen Shi, but Shen Shi was so afraid of ghosts…

"Hey! Why are you running so fast!"

Xiang Xiaoyu only felt a gust of wind sweep past her side; startled, she turned around and saw only Jin Chen's back.

Mu Sen: "Just now Jin Chen seemed… to have heard something? His expression changed in an instant."

"Oh no, nothing could have happened up there, right?"

The two hurriedly followed.

Jin Chen quickly climbed up to the well opening, and when only a short distance remained he stepped and jumped down.

"Shen Shi!"

Lin Cheng widened his eyes, about to speak, but was frightened into swallowing his words: "How do you know?"

"You can still hear that from down there?!"

Cheng Xi spoke extremely fast: "Director Shen has been assigned a task; you must find him and rescue him within ten minutes after the task ends!"

He then pointed in a direction: "He was taken away from over there!"

Before Jin Chen could set off, Yang Ji reached out to stop him: "Hey, wait a minute!"

Yang Ji said provocatively: "You have to follow the rules, but you yourselves said that according to the rules you can only go look for someone after completing this task."

"You just crawled out of the well, and you haven't even…"

Jin Chen grabbed his collar and slammed him toward the well opening: "Get lost!"

"Damn it!"

Yang Ji's lower back struck the brick-stacked well rim, pain making his face turn ashen: "Jin Chen! Aren't you supposed to be following the rules!"

Before leaving, Jin Chen turned back, gave Yang Ji a cold glance: "I'll come back later to teach you a lesson."

【Jin Chen, hurry!! Speed! Danger!】

【How dare Yang Ji do that…… Doesn't he want to stay in the entertainment industry?】

【Yang Ji gives off a reckless vibe, as if he'll quit the industry after pulling this job.】

【I think the footage of Shen Shi's side looks fine; he shows no expression change, but he really is just sitting still.】

In fact, Shen Shi really didn't dare to move.

The program team, following the rules written by Yang Ji, found a relatively narrow small black room and locked Shen Shi inside; the whole room had only a tightly shut door and a window letting in a faint light.

The wall facing away from the main gate alternately played horror scenes, but they didn't dare turn on the sound.

Shen Shi didn't turn back, and he didn't even notice the movement behind him.

He just sat there, facing the main gate, his interlaced fingers clenched until they turned white, his whole body tense to the extreme.

But with Jin Chen not by his side, the more fearful Shen Shi became, the colder he appeared on the surface, expressionless.

Such a scene, together with the occasional footsteps from outside, made Shen Shi involuntarily overlay his current situation with his buried memories.

The dim, filthy apartment basement, the ugly faces, the two-day-and-night imprisonment.

Shen Shi closed his eyes; in the darkness, his long eyelashes fluttered lightly, the tip of his tongue, savagely bitten, oozed blood streaks that stained his tightly pressed lips.

Jin Chen……

In his heart he repeatedly whispered his lover's name, hoping to stay calm until Jin Chen found this place.

"Shen Shi!"

In the darkness, the one waiting finally heard a familiar voice.

Shen Shi slightly opened his eyes, looked doubtfully out the window, feeling dazed, unable to tell whether he had heard Jin Chen's voice or just a figment of his imagination.

Until the main gate was pounded, making a booming sound.

"Shen Shi! Are you in there!"

"I'm…"

Shen Shi responded, but his voice came out hoarse and trembling, sounding pitiable and wronged.

Hearing the response, Jin Chen forcibly broke the wooden door lock that required a long bar key to open, then kicked it open.

In the dim light, Jin Chen saw Shen Shi, tears streaming down.

Jin Chen...

Jin Chen half-kneeled, raised a hand to stroke Shen Shi's face, and said, "I'm here, don't be afraid."

Fear and grievance surged instantly.

Shen Shi sobbed, threw themself into Jin Chen's embrace, wrapping arms around his neck, and said, "Take me away, I want to leave… this place is not good at all."

"This place is so dark, I don't know the way… and I don't know them…"

Shen Shi's words were jumbled, some mixed with old memories; Jin Chen frowned in confusion and said, "Alright, I'll take you away."

But Shen Shi continued to tremble uncontrollably, even their teeth chattering.

Jin Chen realized something was wrong, slipped a finger into their mouth, and fresh blood flowed from the bitten tongue tip onto the back of Jin Chen's hand.

"Shen Shi, honey… look at me."

Jin Chen's heart clenched suddenly.

Jin Chen pulled a strong flashlight from the space, turned it on, and casually placed it on the table.

Clean hands gently stroked Shen Shi's cheek, and said, "Look, this place is bright."

Shen Shi's hurried breathing gradually eased; the strong light illuminated every corner of the room, and they finally dared to look around, but… it was still unfamiliar.

"No… I don't want to look."

Shen Shi, startled, shrank into Jin Chen's embrace, burying their cheek against the reassuring neck, and said, "I want to go home… okay?"

"Okay, of course."

Jin Chen gently stroked Shen Shi's back and said, "We're going home, we'll go now."

Jin Chen held Shen Shi in their arms, the hand on their shoulder lightly rubbing the back of the neck to soothe, strode out of the door, Jin Chen's face extremely grim.

The on-screen comments were frightened by Shen Shi's reaction just now.

【Oh my god!!! What's wrong with Shen Shi? Why is there blood?!】

【Ahhhhh, damn Yang Ji!!! Shen Shi isn't fearless; they're obviously terrified to the extreme!】

【The Program Team is doomed…… I can't even imagine how angry Jin Chen will become.】
