Chapter 1662: After Meeting the Rank‑One Player In Person, I Got Entangled by a Yandere 10

~8 min read 1,433 words

Brother Chen, you have no idea how bloody and tumultuous the old residence has been these past few days.

Grandfather was so angry he ended up hospitalized and suddenly became critically ill; Jin Xiao and the others went crazy, terrified of missing out on even a penny of the inheritance, they'd bite anyone who came near, and no one was allowed into the old residence.

Jin Xue happened to be passing by on her way to the hospital to see her grandfather; upon seeing Jin Chen, she couldn't help but want to pour out her grievances.

Naturally, airing grievances was secondary; getting to the point was what mattered.

But Brother Chen, the inheritance that belongs to you… and to your second uncle and his wife, are you really willing to just hand it over to them like that?

Jin Chen was still holding the vegetables he'd just bought; the bustling street and its lively atmosphere made Jin Xue speak much louder than before, completely lacking the careful caution she'd shown that night at the old residence.

What a fine young lady—once she entered the old residence, it was as if she'd walked into a man‑eating palace.

I'm not using that inheritance anyway, but you're right—we can't let that lunatic Jin Xiao's family get it for free.

Jin Xue nodded vigorously. "So Brother Chen, what's your plan? My mother said she'd join forces with other relatives to try to preserve the inheritance that belongs to you—how long it could last… well, that's uncertain."

"Then give it to them." Jin Chen made the decision on behalf of his deceased parents.

Putting myself in my father's shoes, if he didn't want it, he'd probably give it to the sister who'd raised and supported him since childhood.

"Go back first; I'll contact you later."

Jin Xue hadn't even finished being surprised when she asked, "Have you already figured out a way?"

"Yes, I'll handle this." Jin Chen spoke in a calm, steady tone that naturally inspired confidence: "Tell Aunt to wait for my news."

"All right, I'll go back and tell Mother." Jin Xue didn't ask further; she had always admired this cousin's independent spirit, his ability to do what he wanted.

Suddenly the surroundings grew noisy; the two looked left and saw a crowd gathered around a squatting young man who was struggling to breathe, people wanting to step forward and show concern.

Jiang Sui!

Jin Chen was startled, quickening his steps to walk toward him.

Jiang Sui, oddly surrounded, was about to lose his breath; he squatted down, thinking it might help, but the crowd only grew larger.

Jin Chen's voice came too late; Jiang Sui's pent‑up grievance and possessiveness were about to overflow, breaking the docile façade he'd struggled to maintain.

But at that moment, it arrived especially timely, letting Jiang Sui feel as if he'd grabbed a lifeline.

Jiang Sui drew a breath, stood up, and flung himself into the arms of the Jin Chen who had pulled him up; his thin arms clung tightly to Jin Chen's waist, his icy forehead pressed against the collarbone, feeling the scorching warmth.

"All right, all right, it's fine." Jin Chen, holding the vegetables in one hand, embraced Jiang Sui, patted his back, and led him to a quieter corner.

"No one's watching you now, Jiang Sui—don't breathe so fast."

Jiang Sui's hurried breathing gradually steadied under Jin Chen's guidance; his fine, long lashes trembled, his eyes filled with a glint of grievance: "It's so slow… I came to find you."

Jin Xue walked over slowly, saw them embracing, and looked astonished: "Brother Chen, this is……"

Before she could finish, Jiang Sui's stare frightened her, and she swallowed her words.

Jin Xue inexplicably felt a chill run down her spine.

Jiang Sui's forehead still beaded with cold sweat, his dark strands clung to his pale face; when his cold eyes flicked toward Jin Xue, narrowed warily, they resembled a venomous snake flicking its tongue.

"She's my cousin." Jin Chen loosened his embrace slightly, put an arm around Jiang Sui's shoulders, and introduced her.

"Hello…" Jiang Sui's bloodless lips twitched slightly, his voice soft.

Jin Xue shuddered again.

"Hello, hello… um… Brother Chen, I'll head off now, waiting for your news."

She hurriedly made an excuse to leave, feeling that Brother Chen's friend was very strange.

What news? What secret could they possibly have that they can't speak of?

Jiang Sui's shoulders still trembled slightly; he turned his head to rest against Jin Chen's chest and whispered, "Come on, please…"

Jin Chen's brow twitched slightly; thinking Jiang Sui was truly suffering, he put an arm around him and headed for the car.

"You can call me later; don't get out of the car alone." As he spoke, he brushed the sweat‑dampened hair from Jiang Sui's forehead, feeling helpless: "Why put yourself through this?"

"……"

Jiang Sui didn't speak, merely rubbing his cheek lightly against Jin Chen's palm.

What's the use of calling?

Jiang Sui realized his possessiveness toward Jin Chen had become severe; he buried his face in Jin Chen's shoulder and couldn't help but draw a deep breath.

Jin Chen pried his head apart, saying, "Don't rub around like that, you little dog."

Jiang Sui: "……"

He suddenly fell silent.

Back in the car, Jiang Sui slowly removed his mask, his innocent, pleading eyes flickering with a hint of expectation: "Am I very much like a little dog?"

"No, you're far better‑looking than a little dog." Jin Chen ruffled his hair, feeling he'd answered quite well.

Jiang Sui, however, felt it was a pity.

Being Jin Chen's little dog isn't bad at all; it even lets you keep people confined at home, nowhere allowed to go.

Jin Chen's eye twitched as he sensed something, and he declared solemnly, "You're nothing like anything else—you're just yourself."

But don't spend all day thinking about things that can't be aired.

【Hey Host, you're being monitored everywhere.】

Ling Gun Gun clicked his tongue, "The Main God's desire to pry is so strong! Scary."

Jin Chen couldn't help but feel it too—it's just that Jiang Sui's Blackening Value is too high; if he wants to look, let him look.

After arriving at Jiang Sui's home, Jin Chen helped him make lunch and meanwhile probed a bit.

As expected, Jiang Sui strongly rejects both psychiatrists and hospitals; when the topic comes up he deflects with another subject, and if pressed further he silently refuses to answer with those truly pitiful eyes.

Jin Chen could do nothing about it, so he could only think of another excuse later.

Jin Chen couldn't possibly stay with Jiang Sui all the time; after lunch he left.

But the old residence's steward began urging Jin Chen to go to the hospital and see the old master.

That night, Jin Chen's inexplicable healing of the old master who was about to keel over from anger was witnessed by them all, and the old master himself could feel that something was out of the ordinary.

Now his heart disease flared up again, and even the doctors thought there was nothing they could do, so the Old Master once again placed his hope on Jin Chen, not even considering that Jin Chen might refuse.

The result was that Jin Chen not only refused to go to the hospital to see him, but also, on the side, made a trip back to the old residence and moved his parents' and his own household registration entirely away, severing all ties with the Jin Family proper.

When leaving the old residence, he also gave Jin Xiao a beating.

The Old Master waiting at the hospital heard this news and was so angry he almost went straight to see his ancestors.

"Damn it! He's grown wings, thinking I, the Old Man in the hospital, can't do anything to him! He's starting to run wild!"

Old Master Jin lay trembling with anger on his sickbed, while Jin Xiao stood at the bedside covering his face, which was bruised blue and purple from the beating.

"But Grandfather, Chen Brother now has nothing to do with our family, and he even has his own coffee shop; I'm afraid he won't come back."

"A coffee shop, hum! How long can that rundown place stay open?" Old Master Jin glared at Jin Xiao, furious but helpless, "Just go ahead and do as you please—once he has nothing left, he'll realize that only the Jin Family can give him everything he wants."

"I understand, Grandfather."

Jin Xiao gave a gloomy smile; finally he could openly make Jin Chen completely harmless.
