Chapter 2495: My Wife Is a Pirate 25

Jin Chen easily broke the ropes, moved his somewhat numb wrists and ankles.

Outside the stone chamber it was quiet; he pushed open the flimsy wooden door, nimbly slipped out, and leisurely swayed toward the exit of the stone building.

Ling Gun Gun blew air at him, 【whoosh—】.

【whoosh—】

Jin Chen's forehead twitched, he grabbed it, 【What the hell are you blowing for.】

【Let you calm down!】 Ling Gun Gun also felt guilty, after all the original plot was wrong from the start, otherwise it wouldn't have developed to this point.

Meanwhile, Bu Changji heard Hai Shisan's report, saying Jin Chen was threatening suicide to see him immediately, otherwise he would go on a hunger strike, and his heart clenched instantly.

He dared not delay any longer, immediately got up and rushed to the room where Jin Chen was locked up.

He pushed open the door, but there was no sign of Jin Chen; all that met his eyes was an empty bed and the hemp ropes scattered on the floor, broken by brute force.

At the head of the bed, with a half-charred wooden stick, he hastily wrote a line of large characters:

You came too late, I starved to death.

Hai Shisan looked at those characters and couldn't hold back his laughter.

Bu Changji turned his head and glared at him, his eyes icy and terrifying.

Hai Shisan was startled, quickly clapped his hands over his mouth, not daring to breathe.

Bu Changji's heart was instantly flooded with panic.

He could accept Jin Chen's anger, accept his questioning, but no matter what he could not accept Jin Chen just leaving like that!

Bu Changji immediately turned and rushed out the door, anxiously searching everywhere.

At this moment, at the exit of the stone building.

Jin Chen strolled over, preparing to leave the pirate den, when he bumped head-on into a sneaky figure that moved in furtive, halting steps.

It was Fang Yun Yao, tormented inside, coming to confess to Bu Changji and try to explain.

Fang Yun Yao lifted his head and saw Jin Chen, as if seeing a ghost, he flailed backward several steps, almost tripping himself.

Jin Chen looked at him expressionlessly, "Fang Yun Yao."

Fang Yun Yao: "Ahhhhh!"

"How are you here!"

Jin Chen: "?"

He really had nothing to say.

This legitimate Heir Apparent, how can he look so stupid.

Compared to his family's that scheming, ruthless "imposter" who could pierce the heavens, he is simply worlds apart.

【Oh dear, this is double standards to the extreme.】

Jin Chen couldn't be bothered with the frightened Fang Yun Yao, who was about to shrink into a ball, looking straight ahead, preparing to leave this place of right and wrong.

However, just as he took a step, Bu Changji jumped down from the low earth wall ahead and blocked his path.

Bu Changji saw Jin Chen, and the terrified Fang Yun Yao trembling; the jealousy and anger in his heart burned hotter, consuming his last shred of reason.

His eyes turned red, he stared at Jin Chen, and the repressed anger and grievance spilled out.

"You…… still like Fang Yun Yao! Whenever you get the chance, you seek him out!"

Jin Chen: "???"

He was practically laughing with anger at this baseless accusation.

"You rushed over in a hurry just to tell me this?"

Fang Yun Yao beside them had never seen such a scene; seeing the two about to clash, he wanted to interject a couple of words of mediation: "Um… you guys don't…"

"Shut up!" Bu Changji snapped, turning his head, his eyes fierce as if he wanted to kill.

Fang Yun Yao was startled into silence, shrinking his neck, not daring to speak again.

Bu Changji looked at Jin Chen again, his tone firm: "I won't let you leave!"

Jin Chen looked at him and countered: "Why?"

"Because you belong to me! You are mine!" Bu Changji almost shouted, overbearing and domineering.

Jin Chen also lost his temper, stern-faced: "But you deceived me, lying from start to finish."

Thinking back on all that, he felt utterly embarrassed, losing face completely.

Bu Changji was choked by his words, a flicker of guilt crossed his face, but then he seemed to find an excuse and retorted: "……It was you who first mistook me!"

But in love, one shouldn't delineate right and wrong too clearly, nor should one argue about who wins or loses.

But Bu Changji, his mind clouded by anger, panic, and strong possessiveness at this moment, could no longer grasp that principle.

His heart and belly were filled with a possessive desire that had taken root and sprouted in darkness; he only wanted to keep the person at any cost.

Jin Chen looked at his unyielding demeanor, suppressed his anger, his tone calming: "All right, sorry, I was the one who mistook the person, I was wrong."

But this apology didn't reassure Bu Changji; instead, it was like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing all his vigor, leaving only boundless panic.

Bu Changji froze, "You… you don't do this…"

He would rather Jin Chen argue with him, fuss with him, even beat him up, than accept such a calm apology.

Jin Chen looked at his pale face, his heart softened a bit, his tone involuntarily gentler: "Then tell me, why didn't you make things clear with me last night?"

"Why did you knock me out, and why rush to move the treasure—are you doing all this just for those treasures?"

Bu Changji, hearing him ask this, felt even angrier and more anxious.

What he fears is hearing from Jin Chen's mouth that answer he cannot accept.

He fears that once Jin Chen realizes he mistook the person, he will go look for the real Fang Yun Yao.

So he panicked and, without choosing means, first tied the person up, then grasped the treasure in his hand, as if that would increase his leverage to keep the person.
