Chapter 1673: After Meeting the Top Fan in Person, I Got Caught Up with a Yandere (Chapter 21)

Jiang3 sui1's injuries looked severe; at the time of the accident, he happened to be gashed in the thigh by shattered windshield glass, his blood blurred, but it was not life‑threatening.

After his condition stabilized he was moved to a ward; Lin Yu rushed to the hospital in a panic, looking even more disheveled than Jiang3 sui1 had right after his stitches, his whole body nearly drenched in cold sweat.

Jiang3 sui1 couldn't help feeling puzzled, "I'm hurt—why are you so frightened?"

"Sui‑brother… what exactly happened to your injury, how did the car crash occur?"

The friend on the phone hadn't explained things clearly, and Lin Yu hadn't been able to take it in at the time; only now did he barely regain his senses.

Jiang3 sui1 now curses his bad luck when he thinks back: "Just as I rounded the intersection, a beggar came out of nowhere, hit the car and then vanished without a trace!"

The friend who entered from outside the ward had a grave expression: "The police said that beggar is a mentally unstable madman with no relatives, so there's no way to keep pursuing liability."

How could such a low‑probability event happen to them—running into a beggar who had gone mad just like that?

"It's not bad luck… it's not bad luck." Fear filled Lin Yu's eyes; he couldn't imagine how Jiang Sui had the gall to do this, "It's Jiang Sui! Sui‑brother, it's Jiang Sui who did this to you!"

"What are you saying?" Jiang3 sui1 exclaimed, sitting up straight, "Speak clearly—what do you mean 'Jiang Sui harmed me'?"

Lin Yu, trembling, told Jiang3 sui1 about the parcel he had received, but he didn't dare say it was because he wanted to ruin Jin Chen and destroy the people Jiang Sui cared about.

Jiang3 sui1's friend exclaimed after hearing this, "What are you waiting for? Call the police!"

"Calling the police… no, we can't!" Lin Yu suddenly thought of the leverage he held, almost shouting his objection, his heart leaping to his throat, "You think… Jiang Sui could obtain a recording for no reason and even hire a killer—there might be some power we don't know about behind him."

"Huh, what police report?" Jiang3 sui1 didn't see anything special, just felt his anger finally ignite, "I'll make him disappear from this city!"

"Speaking of which, that Jin Chen sounds a bit familiar—could he be from the Jin Family?" his friend mused, stroking his chin, "If it really is him, we just need to let Jin Xiao know; the future head's son is quite formidable."

Jiang3 sui1 gave no reply, coldly clenching his back teeth as he thought, his face dark.

"You go back first." Jiang3 sui1 said to Lin Yu in a flat tone, "You've been frightened too—go home and rest."

As he spoke, he glanced at his friend, who raised an eyebrow in understanding, pulled a bank card from Jiang3 sui1's jacket pocket and handed it to Lin Yu.

"You…" Lin Yu bit his lip, eyes reddening; he really wanted to ask whether he was being treated as a boyfriend or a kept lover, but he didn't dare, fearing that asking would leave him with nothing at all.

Lin Yu took the bank card and left the ward under his friend's ambiguous, half‑smiling gaze.

But he hadn't imagined that today's fright would go far beyond this.

The landlord was waiting especially in the hallway; seeing him return, he said he would no longer rent the place to him, telling Lin Yu to move out quickly, and that he wouldn't help him deal with Jiang Sui any further.

Faced with Lin Yu's questioning, the landlord merely sneered and said, "Otherwise we could all just call the police—nobody would be better off." Lin Yu of course didn't dare; he knew the landlord didn't dare either, he was only afraid of Jiang3 sui1's status back then.

Lin Yu suddenly realized that Jiang Sui's first uploaded recording had been a warning.

And he now had no leverage whatsoever in his confrontation with Jiang Sui.

At this moment Lin Yu truly began to regret—regretting that after realizing the mistaken identity was a misunderstanding, he hadn't apologized in time.

How could he have known he would provoke such a reckless madman who never considers consequences?

——

Although the online uproar aimed at today's "Chen‑shí sleep" fans gradually subsided with the clarification, it wasn't gone completely; there were still people in the live‑stream who firmly believed in the incident and spared no effort to heap abuse there.

And doing so often had the effect of provoking Jiang Sui to shower even more gifts on a large scale, like a fan‑vs‑hater battle.

Jin Chen simply stopped broadcasting for a while, devoting himself to staying home and nursing Jiang Sui's health; life turned out to be quite pleasant.

The only downside was that he couldn't eat meat.

Was it that Jin Chen didn't want to eat meat? No—it was because his wife's constitution was too weak to handle it, yet she still liked to tease him now and then.

Jin Chen had already started brewing himself a fire‑reducing tea.

After another short while, Jin Xue sent a message: the old master had stubbornly clung to life in the hospital for a period but eventually passed away, and the funeral rites were set for two days later.

And according to the family's internal vote during this period, the new head of the family is Jin Xiao's father, the original owner's cheap uncle Jin San.

Jin Xue: "Chen‑brother, the new family head will be announced to the public the day after tomorrow; word has already spread through the circle—are you sure you can still change things then?"

If the old master had still been alive, perhaps there would have been a chance.

Jin Chen: "Yes."

After attending the old master's funeral, he would then have completely severed ties with the Jin Family.

The original owner had long suspected that his parents' deaths were linked to Jin San, and the old master, though aware of it, neither blamed anyone nor spoke up—he even suppressed the matter, so the original owner had always held a grudge.

After Jin Chen investigated, this turned out to be true as well; however, whether the old master knew about it is now impossible to ascertain.

One can't just shake a person awake to get an answer and then kill him.

【……】That's far too unscientific!

"Sui‑sui, have you finished the soup?"

Jin Chen turned off his phone and called out toward the bedroom.

The person who usually couldn't wait to cling to him and never leave, today not only gave no response but pretended not to have heard and refused to open the door.

The wife was eerily quiet—she must be up to mischief.

Jin Chen turned the doorknob, stood at the bedroom doorway and peered inside; Jiang Sui startled to his feet, clutching his sketchpad, feeling guilty he shifted his steps slightly, blocking the view behind him where he had only taken a few sips of soup.

"Hot… I'll drink it later." Jiang Sui whispered, trying to explain.

Jin Chen stood at the doorway with arms crossed, teasing, "Comrade Jiang Sui‑sui, this bowl of soup was brought to your room forty minutes ago."

Jiang Sui: "……"

He put down the sketchpad, hurried a few steps to embrace Jin Chen's arm, and coquettishly said, "I forgot…"

"Really."

Jiang Sui blinked, trying to make that statement believable.

Jin Chen poked his forehead with a finger, "Believe you? Fat chance."

"There's still hot soup in the kitchen—go on, pour yourself a bowl and drink it; the day after tomorrow I'll take you to the old master's funeral."

Jin Chen pinched his cheek, "Otherwise you can just wait here for me to come back."

Jiang Sui shook his head in panic, clutching Jin Chen's hand tightly, "Take me with you, I'll drink the soup."

Even if it means facing many people, as long as I can be by Jin Chen's side, that's fine.

I don't want to just wait alone at home in silence—it's too hard to bear.

His voice was soft, and after a moment he felt a bit wronged; he ran to the kitchen, drank up the prepared soup, and with red eyes flung himself into Jin Chen's arms.

"Don't be aggrieved, I'm just teasing you." Jin Chen felt his neck itch from the rubbing, pulled the person from his embrace, pinched their chin and planted a kiss, his voice amused: "Look at that aggrieved look—who knows what you think I'm doing to bully you."

Jiang Sui slowly lifted her eyes, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back, her voice tinged with anticipation: "You can bully me."

Jin Chen: "……"

He pinched Jiang Sui's waist in annoyance, then patted her, saying, "Go play by yourself."

Jiang Sui twisted her slender waist, then snuggled back into the comforting embrace, unwilling to leave.
