Chapter 2580: Dear Detective Mr. 32

The shouts of killing and gunfire outside the window were intense, reminding them they were still in danger.

Jin Chen, satisfied, did not continue to provoke.

He shoved the pistol back into A'erruike's sweaty hand, then leaned in and bit his split, bleeding lip again with moderate force.

Immediately afterward, Jin Chen did something A'erruike never expected.

Jin Chen tore a corner from the hem of A'erruike's shirt, then pressed the cloth against his bitten lip, staining it with blood.

"I'll take everything in this textile factory as compensation, okay?" Jin Chen said.

"What?" A'erruike, dizzy from the kiss, didn't react for a moment.

Jin Chen grabbed his hand, aimed at the broken window, and fired a shot, shattering the glass that was swaying and about to fall.

Jin Chen turned back, gave him a slightly mischievous smile, glanced meaningfully at his swollen, split lip, and said, "Cooperate with me, help me take over the textile factory, or there will be punishment."

As the words fell, Jin Chen nimbly turned and leapt out the window.

"Wait!"

A'erruike's heart jumped, he lunged to the window, and anxiously looked down.

But he saw that black silhouette dart through the chaotic battle below, then land steadily on a pile of discarded cotton-spinning material, unharmed.

Jin Chen even had the leisure to turn back, wave at A'erruike at the window, and then plunged into the fierce combat.

That black cloak, amidst the gunpowder and dust, appeared especially composed, even… possessing a captivating charm.

He was a genuine strongman. A'erruike had to admit.

A'erruike's fingers gripping the window frame trembled, his heart pounding wildly in his chest.

He unconsciously stuck out his tongue, licked the stinging corner of his lip, and fixed his gaze on the black figure moving through the chaotic battlefield.

——

Inside the main factory building.

Jin Chen returned to the area where the Griffon Gang members had gathered.

He wasn't wearing a mask; his overly handsome appearance, contrasted with the dangerous aura emanating from him and the bloodstains on his face, created a stark contrast, making him look even more sinister.

Several Griffon Gang thugs around him froze for a moment.

Meierjie saw him return, his face first lit up with joy, he hurried over, "How is it? Chen! Did you kill that damned Scarlet Gentleman?"

Jin Chen raised his hand, casually wiped the blood from his lip with his fingertip, "The leader is dead."

Their side's leader?

Isn't that the Scarlet Gentleman Keluofute!

Meierjie, after all, was seasoned; amidst his excitement he still retained vigilance, suppressing his agitation and asking, "Where's the body? Have you confirmed it? The Scarlet Gentleman isn't so easily taken down."

Jin Chen, hearing that, looked at him with impatient arrogance, "I have no hobby of carrying corpses."

He also showed Meierjie the blood-stained shirt fabric.

"You don't believe me?"

Thinking of this person's terrifying power, Meierjie's last lingering doubt was also dispelled.

He fully believed Chen had the ability to single-handedly kill the Scarlet Gentleman!

"Haha! Great! Well done!"

Meierjie finally relaxed, and vigorously patted Jin Chen's shoulder, "Now let's see how those headless mad dogs can still be arrogant!"

The news of the Scarlet Gentleman's death spread quickly among the Griffon Gang members, and the morale that had long been suppressed and low instantly surged.

Meanwhile, on A'erruike's side, because the leader hadn't appeared for a long time, they began to show signs of anxiety and chaos.

With one side waning and the other waxing, the Griffon Gang's defense and offense grew fiercer, as if victory were within sight.

Meierjie gleefully prepared to tally the spoils soon to be in hand.

Just as the Griffon Gang members, excited, let their guard down, a sudden change occurred.

A blood-soaked Griffon Gang member came crawling and rolling over, shouting in terror.

"Not good! Mr. Meierjie! The warehouse has been seized by the Scarlet Gentleman and his men! Everything inside is ruined!"

"What!"

Meierjie jerked his head back, glaring fiercely at the arms-crossed onlooker, the inscrutable Jin Chen, "You! You didn't say he was..."

His words trailed off.

The gun barrel steadily pointed at his forehead.

Jin Chen raised the gun, slightly raised his brow, holding a hint of a smile, "I said the leader died, but I never said which side's leader."

Meierjie's pupils shrank to pinpoints.

"Bang!"

The gunshot rang out.

Meierjie fell backward stiffly, hitting the ground hard.

Jin Chen didn't even glance at Meierjie's corpse, kicked the wooden crate holding the latest firearms to his feet, and stepped on it to steady himself.

Then he raised his hand and fired several shots at the thick iron chain on the door leading from the hall to the warehouse area!

The chain snapped with a sound.

The iron door was pushed open, and A'erruike appeared at the doorway.

His suit was stained with blood, and he looked with a complex expression at Jin Chen standing in the center of the hall, stepping on the arms crate.

"Clear the scene, pack everything up and take it away!" A'erruike.

His subordinates immediately sprang into action, quickly moving the crates containing important ledgers, evidence, and new firearms out.

Jin Chen leisurely sat on the wooden crate where Meierjie had just sat, still fairly intact, and let out a sigh of relief.

Even big shots get tired.

A'erruike gestured to the big-bearded Luoke, who still wanted to come over to ask about the situation, and had him first take people out to check supplies and stand guard.

When the hall grew quiet, leaving only the two of them and several corpses, he then walked toward Jin Chen.

A'erruike stopped in front of Jin Chen, a shadow falling over them, raised his hand and choked Jin Chen's jaw, forcing him to lift his head.

Jin Chen obediently tilted his head back, even leaning back slightly against the pile of junk behind him.

The bloodstains on his face had dried, the wound at the corner of his mouth was obvious, his blue eyes narrowed slightly in the light, reflecting A'erruike's tense expression.

As if knowing what A'erruike was thinking, in an instant Jin Chen's expression shifted—his fierceness and carefree attitude quietly faded, his gaze drooped slightly, and the corner of his mouth tightened.

Innocent, helpless, appearing completely reliant on A'erruike.

"A'erruike..." Jin Chen whispered.

It seemed as if the person who had just blown someone's head off with a single shot, shocking the whole crowd, wasn't him.

A'erruike closed his eyes, the veins on his forehead twitching.

Xili'er's pure innocence, Chen's danger... overlapped on this face before him.

A'erruike muttered a curse, grabbed Jin Chen's shoulder hard, shoved him back, and fiercely leaned in to kiss him.

This kiss had no tenderness whatsoever, it was utterly aggressive.

A'erruike's knee forcefully pried open Jin Chen's legs, wedging between his thighs, his whole body exuding aggression and a sense of control.

A flicker of smile passed through Jin Chen's eyes, happy to comply, he relaxed his body submissively, letting him take as he pleased, even actively tilting his head up to meet the rough kiss.

His brows slightly furrowed, his blue eyes quickly grew moist, shimmering with a hazy spring water, his gaze gradually losing focus.

It seemed as if he was breathless from A'erruike's kiss, his consciousness blurring.

A'erruike's breathing suddenly grew heavy, seeing Jin Chen's eyes glistening with tears, heat and desire surged up.

A'erruike reached out and grabbed the blond hair at the back of Jin Chen's head, forcing him to meet his gaze, his voice hoarse to the extreme, yet he finally let it out.

"Is it fun to toy with me? Watching me like a fool being kept in the dark by you, is that amusing?"

Jin Chen, being grabbed by him, frowned slightly, let out a tiny hum, and replied in complaint.

"You're hurting me."

A'erruike: "……"

"Damn!"

He seemed to be scalded by those words, instantly releasing his grip on the hair, then somewhat clumsily rubbing the spot that had just been grabbed.

His tone remained fierce, yet inexplicably it sounded a bit shorter.

"Damn it! You... you're just a complete bastard!"

Jin Chen, going with the flow, extended his arm, wrapped it around his neck, and gently stroked the tense muscles on his back and obliques.

"You're scolding me again, A'erruike," his blue eyes blinking, "you shouldn't call me that."

Jin Chen even generously placed a few gentle kisses on the corners of A'erruike's eyes, saying, "Change it a bit."

A'erruike: "……"

He panted, glaring at the guy before him who couldn't be hit or scolded, yet somehow made his teeth itch with hatred.

After all, he first admitted defeat.

A'erruike forcefully pressed Jin Chen's head into his embrace, holding him tightly, his voice rough.

"Let you kiss!"
