Chapter 1718: Old Dreams of Beiping: The Beauty Actor Overwhelms the Big Shot 33

Jin Chen used his sleeve knife to dig out the bullet; the pain was no less than being shot again. Yun Cunxuan broke out in a cold sweat, his gaze scattering.

After simply treating the wound, Jin Chen's hands were already covered in blood.

He raised his hand and wiped Yun Cunxuan clean.

Just recovered, Yun Cunxuan: '……'

Your grandpa!

"How do you feel?" Pei Yinnian asked, testing his pulse with the back of his hand; he was still not in mortal danger.

Not bad, much better than before.

Yun Cunxuan's face was ashen; he slowly lifted his freshly bandaged leg, glanced puzzled at Jin Chen, "Thanks, but how do you even know how to treat a gunshot wound?"

I told Youyou're not simple!

Jin Chen's answer remained the same four-character maxim: 'Innate extraordinary talent.'

That sentence left Yun Cunxuan unable to retort.

"How to get the box out? Even if Fifth Master could beat those foreigners and Japanese, getting it safely to the dock would be hard." Yun Cunxuan forced himself to forget the pain, focusing his attention on the big picture.

He patted the safe, muttering: "This safe is impervious to knives and guns; it can only be opened with a password, but the informant who knew the transmission password is already dead."

Pei Yinnian tried to turn the combination lock, but no matter how hard he forced it, it didn't budge an inch, as if it were welded shut.

They didn't have much time to waste.

"I'll try." Jin Chen picked up the sleeve knife stained with fresh blood, attempting to pry open the safe's seam with its tip, but the safe had been specially treated to resist blades, so the knife couldn't pry it open.

Forget it, it won't open.

Pei Yinnian frowned sternly, made up his mind: "I'll go out to draw their attention; part of their force is after me, then we can split up and move the box."

No." Jin Chen immediately refused, his handsome face tightening: "That's too dangerous."

Provoked by his wife's decision, Jin Chen simply wrenched open the safe's welded seam, expressionless, pushing it over: "It's done; you're not allowed to risk yourself."

Pei Yinnian: '……'

He stared blankly at the opened safe, slightly dazed, raising a hand to press his brow, silently chanting calm.

Holy shit!" Yun Cunxuan exploded in profanity, staring at the safe forcibly pried open, then looking at Jin Chen's slender fingers without a single callus: "You fucking monster!"

Jin Chen retracted his fingertips into his sleeve, his sidelong glance at Yun Cunxuan clearly spelling out another four characters.

Rarely seen, strangely odd.

Just before Yun Cunxuan lost it, Pei Yinnian again interrupted their eye-lock, taking out the Gold Thread Robe and hiding it under his suit.

Jin Chen held his hand, but before he could speak, Pei Yinnian shook his head to stop him: "Jin Chen, this is what I promised—I must personally deliver the Gold Thread Robe map to Jiangning."

Pei Yinnian calmly took Jin Chen's hand away, kissed his lips, and said: "Listen to me on this, be good."

"Oh." Jin Chen sullenly lowered his hand, still wanting to argue: "I can accompany you to Jiangning."

The journey is dangerous; I disagree.

Pei Yinnian's tone allowed no rebuttal; he closed the box again and walked toward the door.

"Hey brother, lend a hand." Yun Cunxuan raised his arm toward Jin Chen.

Jin Chen frowned displeased, pulling Yun Cunxuan up with little restraint, causing him to grit his teeth in pain.

In the midst of the melee, Pei Yinnian, holding the safe, became the focal point.

"Stop! Everyone stop!" Wei Er shouted, eyeing Pei Yinnian with deep wariness, raising a hand to try to steady his emotions, sneering: "Mr. Pei, if you don't hand over the safe, you won't leave this place safely."

Zao Liang Hai Dou strode out from behind the table, speaking in even more broken Chinese: "Mr. Pei, I think you should give me the safe; we will be more trustworthy than the British, sending someone to deliver the map to wherever you want to go."

I spit, you damned things, who's more shameless!

Chu Wu spat on the ground, then noticed Pei Yinnian's gaze held some deeper meaning; having been friends for years, Chu Wu almost instantly understood his meaning, nodding silently.

On the other side, Wei Er was still trying to persuade, stepping closer slowly: "Only the mighty British Empire can protect your treasures, Mr. Pei; you have no other choice."

Pei Yinnian set the safe on the ground and kicked it over: "Businessmen don't take sides; whoever grabs it gets the safe."

Wei Er didn't expect Pei Yinnian to be indifferent to the contents; after his surprise, he instinctively lunged for the safe, but was shot by the Japanese soldiers behind Zao Liang Hai Dou.

"Shit! Take it back!" Wei Er roared.

The fight flared again; Chu Wu charged forward, shouting: "Even if I die, I won't let you damned lot steal the map!"

"Hurry up!" Under Pei Yinnian's escort, they left the basement; Jin Chen supported Yun Cunxuan close behind, while Chu San, knocked unconscious by Chu Wu and hiding in a corner, suddenly realized something.

He climbed up, "You opened it……uh!"

Nagging.

Jin Chen kicked him to the edge of the pillar, knocking him completely out.

He was still unhappy.

Annoying!

Yun Cunxuan twitched the corner of his mouth, weakly advising: "Don't keep fighting, brother; let's get out first."

Do you actors all have such fiery tempers!

The Gold Thread Robe was successfully transported out; Chu Wu no longer had any reservations: "You bastard sons, Grandpa I'll show you what real mettle is!"

Another squad of soldiers armed with guns rushed out of the hallway, completely blocking the basement's exit.

"Mr. Pei, here!"

Outside the casino, the military vehicle driver who had been waiting long hurriedly got out and opened the door, asking: "Did you get the thing?"

"Got it."

"Fifth Master specially had me wait here for you; the ship at the dock is ready, and at the next stop we'll switch to a train for Jiangning."

Pei Yinnian tightened his coat, before boarding he glanced back at Jin Chen standing at the door; thinking of the impending parting, a deep reluctance welled up in his heart.

He realized once again that, without noticing, Jin Chen's existence had become crucial to him.

Pei Yinnian turned, took a few quick steps, embraced Jin Chen, kissed the corner of his mouth, and coaxed: "Wait for me to return; even half a month at the latest will do."

I really can't go? Jin Chen had already begun secretly preparing to follow stealthily.

Don't let me see you in Jiangning.

Pei Yinnian realized something and said alertly.

Jin Chen: "……"

He was innocent and clueless, silent, he released Yun Cunxuan's arm, turned to embrace Pei Yinnian, burying his face in the crook of the neck, his mood sinking into low spirits.

That older brother, hurry back, I can only wait fifteen days.

If after fifteen days I still haven't seen you, then we'll meet in Jiangning.

It's just a threat, who wouldn't!

... Good." Pei Yinnian agreed, a smile flickering in the depths of his eyes.

He took off the sandalwood Buddhist bead bracelet he had worn for a long time, placed it on Jin Chen's wrist, "These days I won't be around, try not to run around recklessly."

Mm-hmm." Jin Chen nodded, his fingers flicked the Buddhist beads.

Strange, still not repulsed.

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +10, total 85!】

【Detected Villain Blackening Value -20, total 35!】

Ling Gun Gun quietly tested the Buddhist beads; inside there was no trace of the Host's former power.

The carriage drove away into the distance.

Yun Cunxuan on the ground kicked Jin Chen's leg with his good leg, "Can you now take charge of my life or death?"

Jin Chen's previously strong tea scent vanished instantly; he grabbed Yun Cunxuan and threw him to the soldiers protecting them, "Come on, settle the score."

Yun Cunxuan remained silent.

He felt he should go to the hospital now.

But after witnessing the decline of the Xiao family and Chu San, going there afterward doesn't seem bad either.

Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!

Pei Yiqing was escorted down from the second floor, his arm wound treated, but he was still frightened, his heart trembling; at this moment, seeing Jin Chen gave him a sense of security no less than seeing his own older brother.

The entire hall echoed with his shout.

The soldiers guarding the hall looked at Jin Chen with curiosity, unable to help but stare closely, both amazed at his overly handsome appearance and puzzled by this inexplicably fitting form of address.

Jin Chen was overwhelmed by the shouting, furrowed his brows to shield his eyes, unwilling to look.

Pei Yiqing grabbed Jin Chen's arm and burst into wailing sobs, "I was scared to death! I've never experienced anything this terrifying in my life, waa waa waa!"

... You," Jin Chen felt a bit disgusted, afraid of getting snot on him, he pushed at his forehead.

You're pressing my hair.

Pei Yiqing: "……"

Ah! Cunxuan Ge, what's wrong with you!" He only then noticed Yun Cunxuan standing behind.

Yun Cunxuan leaned on that soldier's shoulder and gave a thumbs-up, "Still alive!"

Being alive is already fortunate.
