Chapter 3211: Saving Zero Protein Bai Ze Love Chronicle 12

Early morning. The morning breeze carried the scent of plants and trees, the sunlight was just right, it was a fine morning.

But those without a wife to sleep beside can only wake up early.

Jin Chen sat on the rattan swing chair on the fourth-floor terrace, a freshly brewed cup of coffee on the small round table before him, steam and aroma rising together.

He had just finished a video conference with his subordinates from the Tenth District, arranging the coming days' duties, and now he had a rare moment of leisure, slowly sipping his coffee when the system terminal on his wrist chimed.

Jin Chen lowered his gaze and saw that the plot generator had updated again.

He curiously clicked into it.

The misunderstanding about who Qibuman really was has been cleared up, Qiqi and Bai Ze have reconciled, so the ending should be different, right?

If he quickly settles things here, he can quickly go to the Ninth District to find Chenshu.

Lines of text floated up one by one in midair. Jin Chen held his coffee cup, leisurely scanning them, the smile at the corner of his mouth gradually, gradually stiffening.

The coffee lingered in his mouth, its bitterness melting on his tongue, he couldn't taste any aroma at all.

This time's plot is as follows——

Because the misunderstanding and unspoken secret lingered unresolved, the past joy and happiness turned out to be founded on deceit. The devoted Qiqi suffered betrayal from her fiancé Bai Ze, and she and her elder brother Jin Chen nearly lost their lives together in the Ninth District!

In her fury, Qiqi swore never to have anything to do with Bai Ze again, driving the gravely injured Bai Ze out of China. Bai Ze, with nowhere else to go, fled to the Ninth District, where he met his close friend Chenshu and launched a new force.

During that time, she happened upon Qiqi, who had come to avenge her brother; she was bound, maltreated, hatred brewing, they tortured each other painfully. At the crucial moment, Bai Ze sacrificed himself to save Qiqi, repaying his deception with his life and proving his sincerity. Yet Qiqi had lost everything in her ordeal with Bai Ze, even the brother who had treated her well died because of it, and in anguish she committed suicide for love.

Jin Chen: "……"

Jin Chen nearly choked on a mouthful of coffee.

He coughed violently twice, the coffee cup swayed in his hand, a few drops splashed onto the back of his hand, which he didn't bother to wipe, and he stared at the words, reading them through again from start to finish.

What the hell is this!

How come he died this time too!

How many misunderstandings do you guys have! You're crazy!

Jin Chen slammed the coffee cup onto the table, leaned back in the swing chair, tilted his head to gaze at the sky, and pinched his own philtrum.

Clearly Qiqi and Bai Ze have already reconciled, so how could the plot still develop this way? Could it be that Qibuman's death didn't truly resolve the issue but instead triggered a bigger chain reaction?

Or perhaps Bai Ze is still hiding something from Qiqi?

He felt he needed a moment to digest this information, but the system terminal obviously wasn't going to give him that time.

The floating text in midair suddenly began to sizzle and distort, specks of white noise flickering at the screen's edges like an old TV with poor reception.

Jin Chen frowned, reached out, picked up the terminal and shook it twice, then patted it, asking, "Broken?"

After a few crackles of electric noise, a distorted voice came from the terminal, "... Is it me... can you... hear me?"

Jin Chen sat up straight in an instant, lifted the terminal to his ear, "I can hear you. Where are you?"

"... You can't find me right now..." Chenshu's voice came in fragments, as if speaking from far away, "I'm in another... timeline. Or rather... the future's ending line."

Jin Chen: "……"

Indeed it is. So annoying!

"I've detected a change in the plot line," Chenshu said, "I suspect it's a shift caused by your intervention. The speed of the world's collapse... has slowed somewhat."

Jin Chen asked, "Then when can we meet?"

Chenshu, on the other end of the terminal, fell silent for a moment, then softened her voice like she was consoling, "I didn't expect this either... once we resolve the crisis, we'll be able to meet in the Ninth District."

Jin Chen leaned back against the chair, pressed the terminal to his ear, tone a bit displeased, "Fine."

Chenshu soothed him from there, "Hard work, husband."

"I will monitor the collapse situation here in real time..." Chenshu's voice came through the crackling static, gentle and patient, "Let me know if anything changes."

Chenshu obviously knew him well, adding a few kind words: "You're the best," "What would I do without you," "When you come I'll compensate you properly."

Jin Chen was complained at length, "This is totally unfair—why are you there and I here?"

"Then remember to eat on time, don't just stare at the data."

"Alright alright I got it, hang up."

After dawdling a good while, he finally nodded in satisfaction.

From the terminal side came two sizzles, and the communication cut off.

Jin Chen stared at the now calm screen, his feelings mixed. The good news: he'd finally gotten in touch with his wife; the bad news: his wife is in a future timeline, so he can't see her for now.

A sound came from below the terrace.

Jin Chen glanced downward, and the servant hurried up to report, "Young Master, the young master and Young Master Bai Ze have come, saying they're delivering a pass."

Jin Chen stood at the terrace's edge, head lowered, gazing at the courtyard below where Qiqi raised his head and waved at him, the corner of his mouth curling into an arc that was meaningful and hinted with danger.

"Let them come to the garden."
