Chapter 399: Gorgeous Supervisor aggressively flirts 22

The day after Mid-Autumn, Xuan Che personally went to the East Factory to interrogate Song Lian again, but this time Jin Chen accompanied him inseparably.

He thought Jin Chen might know the reason for Song Lian's oddness, so he did not stop him.

Entering the interrogation hall together with Jin Chen, Xuan Che showed no change on his face, but the interrogation process was much gentler than before, and he did not even start with torture to force a confession.

This caused the East Factory guards in the interrogation hall to keep exchanging glances, feeling that today's supervisor was really off, being too gentle.

Jin Chen, however, felt his wife was very spicy; this kind of strikingly contrasting personality was simply amazing.

He sat interestingly in the left-side nanmu chair, leaning casually, his gaze constantly on Xuan Che, who was interrogating Song Lian face to face.

Inside the interrogation hall, to create a oppressive atmosphere for the prisoner, there were only a few small skylights; light could not get in, so illumination relied solely on the burning candles and night pearls inside the hall.

In the flickering candlelight, the reflected Xuan Che's cheeks had a dark hue, red lips and a cold face, making him appear even more mysterious.

"You mean…… last night you just felt a stuffy chest, wanted to come out for air, but suddenly lost consciousness, and when you woke up you were already in the interrogation hall?"

Xuan Che looked at the guard's submitted black-and-white statement, repeated this sentence alone, obviously asking Song Lian.

At this moment Song Lian's hands were hoisted high, he was practically fish on a chopping board, daring not to lie.

"Absolutely true, sir! Your position is high and your power great; even if you gave me a hundred guts, I would not dare to gossip about you behind your back!"

He felt he was simply an innocent victim of disaster.

Moreover, those inexplicably extra memories in his mind could not be faked at all; he could only grit his teeth and swallow them.

Hearing this, Xuan Che turned his gaze and exchanged a look with Jin Chen.

If this were told to anyone else, they would completely not believe it.

But Xuan Che is skilled in heavenly calculations and divination, and Jin Chen does not belong to this world at all, so he would only feel that this matter indeed has some hidden twist.

The investigation results of 0731 have also come out.

【Host, this person yesterday should have been invaded by that system force into the brain, indicating that the controller last night should not be far away.】

Jin Chen responded with a sound, his fingertips flashing a faint golden light for a moment.

On the contrary, Xuan Che lowered his eyes and remained silent.

He glanced at the guard beside him; the latter immediately understood and loosened Song Lian's bonds.

"This matter, I will not pursue further either; after all, the Third Prince is present today, so it is inappropriate to see bloodshed."

Suddenly summoned, Jin Chen raised his brows in doubt and looked toward his own wife.

Song Lian, who had been immersed in officialdom for many years, almost instantly understood the meaning in Xuan Che's words, and immediately knelt and kowtowed to Jin Chen.

The implication, both explicit and implicit, was that Song Lian's life had been saved by Jin Chen's help, so naturally he would have to wholeheartedly become Jin Chen's supporter when choosing sides.

"I…… request to retire?"

Xuan Che nodded slightly.

Song Lian scrambled and crawled behind the guards as he left; upon seeing the sunlight outside the East Factory again, he instantly felt as if he had been reborn.

He took a few breaths, then hurried home to report his safety.

At this moment inside the East Factory.

"Your Highness, do you know what's going on with Song Lian?"

Xuan Che watched the person leave, walked a few steps closer, and sat on Jin Chen's thigh, his tone somewhat hesitant.

Jin Chen opened his mouth.

【Host! Can't talk about system matters!】

Jin Chen closed his mouth.

"……" Then how should he explain, having suddenly gone into qi deviation?

"Your Highness?"

Seeing Jin Chen's expression of wanting to speak but holding back, Xuan Che had some guesses in his heart: "Your Highness, is it inconvenient for you to say?"

Jin Chen nodded.

He lightly coughed, trying to make his words easy to understand and barely conform to ancient logic.

"His…… soul and spirit, uh, were used by someone to control him, making him do things that do not match his own nature.

Xuan Che had never heard Jin Chen speak a sentence so haltingly before, and he couldn't help finding it somewhat amusing.

It doesn't matter if the explanation isn't clear; as long as Jin Chen is willing to speak and not hide it from him, that's fine.

He thought over Jin Chen's words carefully, then finally said: "Your Highness means that Song Lian's soul and consciousness were controlled by someone with intent, deliberately provoking me, and taking the opportunity to go to the main hall to summon Emperor Qian Yong and Jin Hua Xuan, but didn't expect the emperor to truly not care at all."

Jin Chen's eyes lit up; his wife is really smart!

"That's exactly it; also, if one wants to succeed in control, the controller must be near the controlled person. Last night I heard a very clear breathing sound, which might be that behind-the-scenes person."

Xuan Che lowered his phoenix eyes slightly.

The strength of the East Factory Dark Guard is already among the best in Jin State; last night they didn't hear any breathing sound, so Jin Chen might be……?

He pursed his lips, wrapped his arms around Jin Chen's neck, and kissed him on the lips, seemingly drawing a sense of security.

"Your Highness, do you know martial arts?"

Facing his lover's such gaze, how could Jin Chen bear to lie?

"Yes, I know martial arts, so I could protect you when the carriage overturned then, so I could hear the breathing last night; I never thought of hiding it from Xiao Qi."

"Then will Your Highness leave me? … I really fear that one day I might suddenly wake up and Your Highness will no longer be Your Highness."

"No," Jin Chen embraced him tightly, signaled the guards to withdraw, and explained in a low, soft voice: "I will never leave Xiao Qi, forever."

"No…… I have to calculate it myself."

Xuan Che suddenly came out of his embrace, threw out several jade tablets from his sleeve, and began to calculate with his fingertips.

Jin Chen watched, his heart pounding with fear and trembling.

Afraid that his wife would calculate the existence of 0731.

After a while, Xuan Che suddenly widened his eyes in shock and stared straight at Jin Chen.

Jin Chen was so scared his whole body trembled.

Even the 0731 in the sea of consciousness held its breath.

The interrogation hall fell silent for several seconds.

"Your Highness, I discovered something."

"Speak." Jin Chen forced himself to stay calm.

"Inside your body…"

0731 covered its eyes with both claws.

【No way, no way! Little Pitiful One couldn't have really found me, could they!?】

Xuanche's phoenix eyes overflowed with a smile, and after a deliberate pause, he said: "Inside your body there is only your own soul; it seems the former Third Prince has left no trace."

Jin Chen let out a breath of relief; turns out that's what he wanted to say.

0731 went completely limp on the ground, its black-bean eyes devoid of any spark.

Little Pitiful One is so scary!

How did Boss White Marsh manage to survive under his command before!

"That's right, so I am me, I won't suddenly leave."

Jin Chen pulled the person back into his embrace and gave them a kiss.

"Your Highness, according to palace tradition, after Mid-Autumn comes the autumn hunt; this year with three princes joining, the emperor will likely make it even more grand, so don't hide your talents then."

He seemed to know Jin Chen's lazy nature, and softly advised, "These days more and more people support you; you must also put them at ease."

Jin Chen drooped his face and nodded, "I know."

"That Xiao Qi must come with me; I won't let you get hurt."

"Of course."
