Chapter 1955: After the Rewind, Love You Again 31

Jin Chen steadied his state, completely unaware of how pale his face looked because the soul link was mismatched.

"I don't have a brain tumor."

"It's a pity; I haven't shown my wife the heart-shaped brain tumor diagram yet."

Ruan Fu stared, seeing Jin Chen's weak appearance as if he might faint at any moment, and ultimately did not retort.

"... Hmm."

"Hmm?"

Jin Chen was even more surprised than him, "Is your reaction really so bland?"

I've already prepared to coax you so you won't get angry!

【Detected Heartbeat Value +5 for villain Ruan Fu, total 60!】

"That's good." Ruan Fu nodded, showing a gentle compliance completely unlike his nature, even appearing somewhat obedient.

He suppressed the rising sourness and inexplicable heartache within, stared blankly at Jin Chen, and said, "Tomorrow, you and I will go out together."

"What for?"

"A physical checkup."

Even if it were a terminal illness, he has a way to save him.

Jin Chen: "..."

So you didn't believe me after all.

Jin Chen simply stopped talking, merely clearing the shadow looming in his mind; the checkup would naturally reveal it.

On the contrary, in Ruan Fu's earlier worry, Jin Chen sensed a deeper concern, and looking into his eyes now, the smile was clear.

"You don't want to kill me now, do you?"

Ruan Fu's expression dimmed slightly, deep emotions churning beneath his eyes, he clenched Jin Chen's back clothing, saying, "I hate you."

Before Jin Chen could even react, he heard the hoarse voice tighten, "... but you can only belong to me."

He now doesn't want Jin Chen to die; nothing can take this life away.

Jin Chen felt that Ruan Fu had said something before the half-sentence, but it was too faint to hear clearly.

He embraced the person in his arms, lowered his head and lightly kissed the cheek, easily overturning the deep ink in Ruan Fu's eyes.

"I love you, you hate me, we are a perfect match."

Ruan Fu: "..."

It seemed all the awkwardness and unspoken words had vanished at this moment.

Ruan Fu had never met someone like this; he half-heartedly pushed his shoulder, using little force.

"Why... do you like me."

After abandoning the killing intent, in such a setting, he simply could not utter the word "love" openly.

"Because you are my wife."

Jin Chen spoke earnestly, almost hypnotically whispering in Ruan Fu's ear, "You also need to like me."

Ruan Fu remained silent, eyes closed; his gloom was deeply buried, his cold brows and eyes frosted, and when nestled in Jin Chen's embrace, the intimacy was something no outsider could see.

【Detected Blackening Value -15 for villain Ruan Fu, total 60!】

——

The final secret left for Jin Chen by the game rules was a string of URL.

But when Jin Chen entered the query, he got a webpage with only a wave image, and there was no trace of anyone having visited it.

Thus Jin Chen entrusted the task to Ling Gun Gun.

And the day after leaving the game, Ruan Fu received a message.

"Mr. Ruan, Mr. Jin Chen wishes to purchase property using your inheritance fund in the name of your late husband."

Ruan Fu: "... What?"

Jin Chen, who had been researching the webpage in the room, looked up blankly, "What what what?"

These days, scams are keeping up with the times, huh!

"When did this happen?" Ruan Fu asked calmly, his unfathomable gaze fixed on the newspaper in his hand.

Two days ago.

Jin Chen made a gesture with both hands spread, indicating he truly had no idea.

"Freeze the account funds, bring that person—Jin Chen—over to see me."

Yes, Mr. Ruan.

Jin Chen sat beside Ruan Fu with his computer, tousling his silver hair, questioning doubtfully, "You want to meet the scammer—what for, to help the police catch him?"

"Look at this." Ruan Fu handed the newspaper to Jin Chen.

It was precisely the report about the research institute fully controlled by capital, which was about to change hands again, and Jin Chen still needed to hold a press conference to clarify.

Jin Chen furrowed his brows, "Which bastard did this."

He had finally managed to return that little thing to Yun Zaozao, just wanting to quickly wash away the Blackening Value.

On the next page, there was a picture of himself wearing a suit and tie.

Jin Chen: "..."

【Zero Egg!】

Ling Gun Gun, who was buried in the Star Net tracking the URL, let out a sound, 【I'll look right away… ah my boss! Host!】

Whenever Zero Egg startles, something bad is bound to happen.

Jin Chen had a faint suspicion in his heart.

【The protagonist has returned! No way…… how could this be, this is an existence prepared especially for your appearance.】

Well, I really should thank you.

Jin Chen set down the newspaper, then looked at Ruan Fu, whose eyes were deep, his low voice sounding significant.

Can you tell the difference?

Ruan Fu frowned, "I'm not blind."

Although they look alike, the person he ought to kill—when his photo appeared in the news, it was already crystal clear.

So…

Ruan Fu leaned close, lifted a hand to lightly caress Jin Chen's face, and asked without emotion, "And you—who are you?"

How can there be identical people in this world?

As she spoke those words, Ruan Fu finally felt a vague unease welling up inside.

This person suddenly appeared—will they leave again?

I am Jin Chen.

He spoke with full confidence, "He's an impostor."

After saying that, Jin Chen thought of something and kept chattering, "Anyway, all the bad things were done by him; I know nothing."

Ruan Fu half-understood, asking, "Then why do you seek atonement?"

Because…

Jin Chen mysteriously kissed Ruan Fu's lips, saying, "I'm a jinx."

Ruan Fu unconsciously licked her lips, speechlessly pushed him, and said, "You're too weird."

Jin Chen came up with another reason, tightly gripping Ruan Fu's wrist and pulling her into his arms, his tone not serious: "Because I'm the real one—I cannot let others ruin my reputation, and also use my identity to do bad things."

"Honey, you need to help me."

Clinging to one's wife's thigh carries no psychological burden whatsoever.

This trust was won by taking a stab.
