Chapter 353: The soft-waisted educated youth was spoiled rotten by his boyfriend 16

"It's me." Jin Chen didn't hide it from him, "Who let him always bully you; if you hadn't stopped me, I would have directly crippled him."

Jin Chen said while feeding him the yellow bean cake from his hand, "But rest assured, he can still walk and jump today; looks like it's not a big problem."

"I'm not worried about him."

Mo Zhinan chewed the pastry in his mouth, his cheeks slightly puffed up, looking cute and obedient.

"Ah, what is Zhinan worried about? Could it be that he's worried I'll be discovered and punished?"

Jin Chen deliberately asked again, a smile playing on his lips, turning his head to look at the youth half-leaning in his arms.

"... Why are you asking when you already know the answer?"

He brushed off Jin Chen's hand that was trying to wrap around his waist again, gave a light snort, rather tsundere.

Only in front of Jin Chen does Mo Zhinan show such a lively side.

"Then Zhinan doesn't need to worry at all; no one saw it was me, not even Zhang Zhishuai himself."

Just as Jin Chen finished speaking, he caught sight of the two protagonists walking over from the corner of his eye; his smile vanished instantly, and he pulled Mo Zhinan tighter into his embrace.

"What, you're looking for trouble again?" His voice ice-cold, his whole expression went blank.

Xu Lin observed their interaction, growing more certain of his suspicion, though he didn't voice it outright.

He was furious, "It was you who hit Zhang ge a few days ago, wasn't it! You did it on purpose!"

Zhang Zhishuai was also angry; he now felt his muscles still faintly aching all over.

"What exactly did I do to make you hate me so much? You even stormed into the Educated Youth Courtyard dormitory to beat people!"

He deliberately raised his voice a bit, and many gossip-lovers perked up their ears, watching the movie while diverting their attention to observe this side.

Jin Chen found it amusing and let out a hum, relaxing his body as he embraced the person in his arms and leaned back against the chair; his posture was leisurely yet imposing, making it seem as if he were interrogating the two standing men.

"Why would I hit you? If you have evidence, shout it out here."

Zhang Zhishuai feigned anger and helplessness, "How would I know why you hit me!"

He wasn't blind either; he could see Jin Chen protecting Mo Zhinan, so it must be because of that, but at this moment he absolutely couldn't admit it himself, or else he'd fall into Jin Chen's trap.

Jin Chen's expression was even more bewildered, "Are you sick? You don't even know why I hit you, yet you say it was me; I'm so bored."

"You!"

Zhang Zhishuai was left speechless by him, almost dazed himself, facing the growing crowd's gaze, he was already somewhat flustered.

"Of course it's because… because you think I bullied Mo Zhinan!" He lowered his voice considerably on that sentence, but the villagers still heard it, then turned their heads to look at Jin Chen, waiting to hear what he would say.

Jin Chen remained calm and composed, "Then why did you bully Mo Zhinan?"

"I..." Zhang Zhishuai had nothing left to say, having completely fallen into the linguistic trap Jin Chen had set for him; now no matter what he says, he can't escape the logical loop—only he will be stuck in it.

"I've already said it's because you're so suspicious!"

"Oh, then what did you do that would make me so suspicious?"

Xu Lin was already completely confused; he didn't have so many devious thoughts, so he immediately spoke up.

"Isn't it just the matter of Mo Zhinan stealing money! Even if Zhang ge diverted his work points, you can't just go beating people!"

Jin Chen finally let out a laugh, "Oh~ so the matter of Zhinan stealing money was actually you guys deliberately framing him; truly malicious!"

He stood up with the person in his arms, gazing at the village head and the brigade secretary not far behind, "You both heard clearly, didn't you? Zhinan not only had his work points and monthly money stolen by Zhang Zhishuai, but was also framed for stealing money; it's truly an undeserved disaster."

"Secretary!" Zhang Zhishuai exclaimed in surprise, immediately standing up as well, utterly flustered, "How could you be here!"

The secretary's tone was neutral, "I came to watch the movie with the comrades; is that not allowed?"

"I didn't expect your little drama to be even more entertaining than the movie!"

Zhang Zhishuai gritted his teeth, glanced sideways at Xu Lin, thinking he was clueless, narrow-minded, and talkative—really annoying.

"It's not the secretary, you misunderstood, I didn't—"

"Whether it's a misunderstanding, Comrade Jin Chen has already investigated it clearly."

The secretary took out a document from his Zhongshan suit pocket, the handwriting on it was Jin Chen's, "When I received this report letter, I sent people to investigate your Educated Youth Yard; they even bribed the bookkeeper to steal work points—you really have a lot of gall! Where's any revolutionary spirit!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhishuai still had nothing unclear; this whole thing was a setup by Jin Chen!

Taking advantage of being injured and resting in bed, he hastily wrote a report letter to make it easier for the higher-ups to investigate!

Xu Lin's face turned even paler; he hadn't expected all of this to be true.

But Zhang ge is so rich, why would he steal Mo Zhinan's... His family isn't a prominent clan in the city, is it!

Zhang Zhishuai hurried forward, took out a cigarette from his pocket and offered it to the secretary, "Please don't get angry first; maybe it's a mistake, let's talk privately."

He certainly didn't want to be assigned to an even poorer place; this place alone is enough to make him drink a pot of bitterness!

"Forget it for tonight; come see me yourself tomorrow, and also the leader of your Educated Youth Group!"

The secretary didn't take the cigarette, snorted coldly, hands behind his back, walked ahead with the village head, and continued watching the movie.

【Detected Villain Blackening Value -15, total 45!】

Zhang Zhishuai's face turned completely green.

He angrily turned around, pointing at Jin Chen, "What else have you done!"

He also knew that secretary well; he's definitely not a clean and honest person, tonight he didn't even want to accept a cigarette—surely Jin Chen had pulled some trick again!

"If you dare, as an official, to set fire, why wouldn't I dare, as a commoner, to light a lamp?"

Jin Chen sneered, kicked the stool beside him toward Zhang Zhishuai, his tone arrogant.

"Anyway, I'm not short of money; since you want to play, I'll accompany you—slowly, slowly, playing."

Zhang Zhishuai clenched his fists tightly, his chest heaving with anger; his whole person was like an enraged lion, seeming about to lunge forward and tear into Jin Chen at any second.

But he clearly knew in his heart that he simply couldn't beat Jin Chen in a fight!

"You really want to go against me, don't you!"

Jin Chen gave him a once-over, "Who's going against you? At best you're an educated youth, yet you're acting like a lunatic."

"You just wait for me!"

Zhang Zhishuai kicked the stool back, turned and walked away.

He didn't wait for Xu Lin either, seemingly taking out his anger on him because of tonight's events.

The incident here finally came to a close, not affecting the people in front watching the movie at all; only those who were paying attention still observed the whole thing.

Besides the villagers' changed impression of Mo Zhinan, Gui Fang watched Jin Chen and the two stand at an overly intimate distance; although she said nothing, her expression was not pleasant.
