Chapter 1680: After Meeting the Rank‑One in Person, I Was Entangled by a Yandere (Chapter 28)

But He Chulin's goading tactic still worked.

When Jin Chen returned, Jiang Sui was still sitting dazedly in the living room, head lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.

Only upon hearing the door's sound did he slowly feel something, lifting his gaze to stare at Jin Chen walking toward him for a long time.

It seemed as if nothing had changed.

The change he feared seeing was also absent; Jin Chen remained no different from before.

"Why are you sitting there like an idiot?" Jin Chen sat beside him, casually ruffling his hair, "Did you guess I went to meet He Chulin?"

Jiang Sui, as if waking from a dream, upon hearing that name again was filled with resentment, and without a word lunged into Jin Chen's embrace, burying himself deeply.

All the lingering fear and worry were fully manifested at this moment.

Jin Chen was knocked backward by the lunge, leaning back affectionately, he lowered his head and gently rubbed his brow against Jiang Sui's, saying, "It's fine; just treat his words as nonsense, we won't believe any of it."

Jiang Sui grabbed the hand that was gently stroking his cheek, slowly brought it to his lips, and lightly kissed it, his voice filled with endless fear: "Don't leave me......"

But the promise was truly illusory.

Jiang Sui lowered his moist eyes, the last trace of reason in his heart finally swallowed by darkness; he sat up straight, wrapped his arms around Jin Chen's neck, tilted his head back, and asked, "Should we leave this place?"

"Sure, where do you want to go?"

Jin Chen had no objections, feeling the delicate skin under his fingertips, he earnestly awaited Jiang Sui's answer.

"Let's go…… to a place where no one else will be, just the two of us."

Jin Chen automatically turned those words in his mind into: I want to lock you up.

Before he could say anything, Jiang Sui sealed his lips and teeth, his cold fingers twining around his neck.

The injection needle plunged into Jin Chen's nape was as cold as Jiang Sui's fingers.

Jin Chen: "……"

Jin Chen sighed, his eyelids grew heavy and dropped, and he fainted.

That day passed, still quite thrilling and heart-pounding.

——

An independent villa in the suburbs.

Jin Chen woke up from inside an iron cage.

To be more precise, it appeared not large, the floor covered with soft carpet, so beautiful it resembled an enlarged version of a goldfinch's nest…… an iron cage.

No matter how exquisite, it couldn't change its essential purpose.

Jin Chen's arms and ankles were each shackled with chains restricting movement; even if he could leave the cage, his range of motion could not exceed the living room.

He looked around, and finally his gaze met Jiang Sui's across from him, then quickly drifted away.

"How long was I out?" Jin Chen asked in a calm voice.

"……Not long."

Jiang Sui replied softly, not telling him the exact current time; the whole living room lacked anything to indicate time, and even the tightly closed curtains made it impossible to distinguish day from night.

Disrupting one's sense of time is the simplest and most effective way to prevent escape.

Jin Chen glanced at him, then leaned against the iron cage and closed his eyes again.

Jiang Sui carefully moved to Jin Chen's side, kneeling on the floor and looking up at him, his tone cautious yet revealing infinite obsession: "Are you angry with me?"

Jin Chen didn't even want to meet his gaze; he was surely angry.

Jiang Sui's eye sockets were a little red.

"This is unfair—I'm the one tied up, why are you crying so hard?"

Jin Chen opened his eyes, the hand bound by iron chains reached out and pinched Jiang Sui's cheek, "What kind of drama is this? Overbearing sugar daddy, forceful love?"

Even his tone was much fiercer than usual.

Even though Jiang Sui had steeled himself mentally, he still unexpectedly shed a few tears, leaning into Jin Chen's embrace to draw in his breath: "I cannot lose you; not even the slightest possibility can exist."

Jin Chen: "Frankly speaking, when did I ever say I wanted to leave?"

Jiang Sui nodded, being honest: "I know, I'm sick…"

Jin Chen: "……"

You've said all the nice things, huh.

He poked the back of Jiang Sui's head buried in his embrace, his tone not exactly gentle: "Illegal imprisonment, Comrade Jiang Sui Sui."

"Illegal…"

Jiang Sui hesitated a moment, lifted his head from his embrace, and suddenly it was as if a veil had lifted.

"I understand."

Jin Chen: "……You know what now."

Jiang Sui clenched his fist to cheer himself up; thinking of what he was about to do, he inexplicably felt a surge of fighting spirit, kissed Jin Chen's cheek, then left the cage.

"Wait for me."

Jin Chen: "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Sui: "Go make this…… not illegal."

That way, Jin Chen could stay with me for a long, long time, never to be separated.

How foolish; I never even thought of this before.

He rummaged around the room for a long time, then went out fully armed.

Jiang Sui, who usually moves slowly, today inexplicably showed a bit of fervor.

Jin Chen: "……" He just didn't understand what exactly was burning.

Jin Chen lowered his gaze to look at himself: handcuffs, footcuffs plus chains, and outside the iron cage there were three layers of locks.

Not to mention the nearly all-around cameras in the living room.

Nice fellow.

He gave a meaningful smile, then after a moment adjusted into a comfortable pose and closed his eyes to sleep.

One should have a sense of being kidnapped!
