Chapter 2223: Love Trapped in the Fate Cycle 22

"How do you know that's a woman?"

Chen Bo stared gloomily at Xu Yi, as if he had just met this young man who had moved in a few months ago.

Xu Yi was frightened by his gaze, retreated half a step back, and could barely catch his breath.

Shao Huai shoved him behind him, saying, "Why are you asking so many questions? Are you feeling guilty after being exposed?"

Even at this point, Song Gong and Chen Bo had hardly any truthful words in their mouths.

Upon hearing Xu Yi's rebuttal, the grief and anger on Chen Bo's face ceased abruptly, replaced by an even more sinister expression in an instant.

"Yes, yes, there is a woman."

Chen Bo didn't refute either; after a while he tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "That's his wife. We messed up and killed them both…… Is that not okay?"

Xu Yi: ……

What do you think!

"I was actually feeling sorry for you just now……" Shao Huai, angry, rubbed the back of his head.

"Who is that woman?" Jin Chen asked.

The axe in his hand pointed at Song Gong, his eyes showing only coldness; Song Gong felt a bit intimidated and didn't dare to look directly at him.

A strange taste of the black pill still lingered faintly in his throat.

Song Gong's heart pounded wildly; the muscles at the corner of his mouth and his neck twitched nervously, and he actually flung the chair hard against the wall!

"Holy shit! What are you doing!" Shao Huai rushed to grab him, but still let Song Gong's forehead take the blow, instantly turning black and blue.

"You killed me, killed me, I won't say anything!" Song Gong shouted hysterically.

Jin Chen: ……

【Calm down, calm down~】 Ling Gun Gun blew air onto his forehead.

Jin Chen noticed Song Gong's hesitation to speak.

Jin Chen put away the axe, casually placed a monitor in the corner of the wall, facing Song Gong and Chen Bo.

They were immersed in anger and fear, and didn't notice.

"Then let's drag it out, see how long you can last."

"But I warn you, don't think about escaping; outside there is someone…… perhaps more than one, who wants to kill you even more than I do."

Having said that, he paid no attention to the two people who reacted strongly to his words, grabbed Zhou Jin who wanted to curl up under the desk, and slammed the side bedroom door shut.

Zhou Jin: ……

Still, he didn't escape.

He lifted his head, showing Jin Chen a face streaming with tears and snot.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me! I'll say anything!"

Zhou Jin didn't know what secret Song Gong was keeping, but anyway, his life wasn't important!

"You're being honest," Shao Huai finally relaxed his tone a bit.

Zhou Jin cried so pitifully that Jin Chen, fearing tears and snot would get on him, quickly stepped back and tied the rope binding him to the sofa.

…… hiccup. Zhou Jin stared blankly, slowly squatting down.

Jin Chen asked: "How does your behind-the-scenes landlord contact you?"

"Phone… phone, but he changes his number after a while, and I don't know which…… ah! Right!"

Zhou Jin suddenly got a bit excited, hurriedly turned his body and said to Xu Yi: "Xiao Xu! There's a phone number taped with transparent tape behind the door in my room; the boss said to contact this person if anything happens."

"I've never urged for debt collection before, so I felt embarrassed to call…… Is this useful? Can you let me go?"

Shao Huai pressed down on Xu Yi's shoulder: "I'll go to his room to get it; those people outside will finally calm down, otherwise if we get blocked again it'll be disastrous."

Not long after, Shao Huai found the note, returned to room 306, and dialed using the landline.

Jin Chen pressed the speakerphone button.

After a few rings, a voice they were somewhat familiar with came from the other end of the phone.

Courier Han Dong.

"Zhou Jin? Or Zhou Lang, what do you need?"

Han Dong's tone was no longer the gentleness he had when facing Jin Chen and them; it even carried a subtle agitation.

Jin Chen put the microphone to Zhou Jin's mouth, letting him respond.

"Yes… it's me! Zhou Jin."

Probably because the pause was a bit long, Han Dong's side immediately became alert, even changing the subject.

Zhou Jin was extremely nervous, so he simply replied sentence by sentence as Jin Chen had taught him, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

Han Dong finally dispelled his suspicions.

"Yes, the big boss asked you to contact me, but that was only a while ago."

Han Dong cursed, "You kicked up such a fuss—don't you realize? The two new guys in room 306 are trouble; all those residents are busy trying to drive them out."

"Advance some money? Where do I get money to give you? The big boss doesn't even know where he is now, I can't reach him! If you still want to stay here, shut up!"

Han Dong's side hung up first.

"Han Dong counts as an upstream contact, but he's never seen the behind-the-scenes boss."

Just as Jin Chen finished speaking, he saw Xie Guan at the master bedroom door reaching out a hand, saying, "Disappointed?"

Xie Guan curled his lip: "I've searched for four months and found nothing; there's nothing to be disappointed about."

"Hey, as long as you're still in this building, you definitely can't escape." Shao Huai hurriedly offered two words of comfort.

Suddenly, a fierce chopping sound came from outside the room door.

"Who……" Xu Yi exclaimed, "Could it be Uncle Wang and them?"

"If soft doesn't work, then go hard?!"

Let me check the monitoring Chenzi set up... hiss. Shao Huai's words were startled back.

On the computer screen, the outside of room 306's door was packed.

Wang Bo held an axe and repeatedly chopped the door; behind him, the residents, with Zhao Chunmei at the front as their leader, almost all held kitchen knives and iron hammers.

No, no, Chenzi—this way the door won't hold much longer.

Xie Guan immediately went to the kitchen and also took out a kitchen knife, his expression grim.

"No need." Jin Chen pressed his hand, taking the kitchen knife back. "The kitchen knife should stay for cutting vegetables."

"Let them smash."

Jin Chen moved the sofa to block the doorway, and while the people behind him weren't paying attention, a silver light flashed across the door frame.

Wang Bo and the others outside didn't know how long they had been smashing, but they began to feel something was off.

Even if what stood before them was an iron door, there should be a dent by now, yet this door hasn't changed at all!

They were exhausted to the point of collapse; even if there was no movement inside, a faint aroma of food drifted out.

... and it really is fragrant!

After all, they're all elderly; they couldn't hold out, and soon dispersed on their own.

Finally, Zhou Jin, no longer having to listen to the noise, changed his posture to a squat, ate the rice that had been portioned out to him clean, and turned his head to look at Jin Chen.

After a moment, Zhou Jin even asked Jin Chen with a hint of expectation.

"Big brother, you said earlier... you're mixing with the East Glory faction, right? Can you take me along?"

Jin Chen's motion of setting down his bowl paused slightly.

"Pfft..." Shao Huai almost choked on his rice, turned his head to cough and couldn't help laughing, "Oh man, I knew something would happen eventually!"

"You can't mix in."

Jin Chen coldly refused, "Mixing with the East Glory faction requires achievements."

Zhou Jin hurriedly said, "Although I've never seriously mixed with the underworld, I've been in fights and brawls! Aren't these achievements enough?"

Jin Chen glanced contemptuously, "College entrance exam scores."

Zhou Jin: "..."

Zhou Jin was deeply struck, and squatted down again.

Nowadays, even mixing with the underworld requires academic achievements?!

As for Xie Guan, who knows what he was thinking, he glanced at Jin Chen, then looked at Shao Huai, lowering his eyes thoughtfully.
