Chapter 735: The Sanatorium Is Full of Fun 20

「What do you want to say, wife? I'm listening. 」

Jin Chen wrapped his arms around his waist, forcefully pulling him into his embrace, even holding him tight in an overbearing way.

A rich agarwood scent surged in an instant; Shen Yan's eyelashes fluttered, he cleared his throat, pursed his thin lips, and said, 「I want a few drops of your blood. 」

「But you can't tell anyone; treat it as our little secret, okay? 」

His clear voice now carried a hint of tenderness, his usually cold and indifferent gaze softened, and he locked eyes with Jin Chen.

Jin Chen...

He agreed without hesitation.

He repeatedly said okay, rolled up his sleeves to reveal his muscular forearms, and said, 「Wife, go ahead! 」

Although I knew the beauty trap would work on Jin Chen, I didn't expect him to agree without hesitation.

Shen Yan frowned slightly, his cool fingertips wandering over the forearm for a moment, feeling somewhat reluctant.

But the blood he had collected was about to lose its potency, and there was no time to wait.

Thinking this, Shen Yan hardened his heart, drew blood with a disposable needle, and withdrew it as soon as the sample amount was reached.

Jin Chen blinked, completely unbothered by his forearm, his eyes continually fixed on Shen Yan's profile.

He was feeling sorry for himself.

Suddenly he lowered his head and lightly kissed the side of his face.

「Wife, blow on it. 」

Shen Yan didn't refuse; even though the needle left no mark, he cupped the arm and gently blew on it.

A cool breeze brushed the skin, Jin Chen suddenly shivered, pulled back his arm, and clung tightly to Shen Yan.

「All right, all right. 」

「Thank you. 」

「No saying thank you. 」

Jin Chen pinched Shen Yan's cheek and said, 「Aren't we very unfamiliar with each other? 」

His tone was nasty.

Shen Yan chuckled, brushed off his hand, and said, 「All right, then I won't say it anymore. 」

「But you must remember, you can't tell anyone. 」

「I know, I know; every couple has their secrets. 」

Jin Chen nodded with an inscrutable expression.

【Villain Heartthrob Value detected 10! Accumulated 25!】

Just then, the room door was pushed open again.

Shen Yan instinctively hid the collected blood in his clothing pocket.

The two turned their heads in unison to look.

Upon seeing Shen Yan here, Chu Ling showed a moment of surprise, then immediately returned to normal.

「Could you trouble Doctor Shen to step out for a moment? I have something to discuss with Jin Chen. 」

Jin Chen: "……"

Suddenly I had a bad premonition!

You brat, you wouldn't also come to draw my blood as a sample, would you?

Don't you already have Jiang Qiu!

Could it be that you also know……

Knowing that I am the carrier of two E-crystals.

Jin Chen and Shen Yan both thought of that.

Each of their expressions changed.

Shen Yan immediately stood up, and in an instant felt killing intent toward Chu Ling.

Jin Chen hurriedly shrank into the blanket.

「I don't want to! I don't want to see you! Last time you even hit me! 」

Shen Yan guarded the bedside, a scalpel already resting in his palm.

「What do you want with Jin Chen? 」

Chu Ling also did not yield, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

「Whatever you want him to do, I'll do the same. 」

Shen Yan's expression was stern, his glasses reflecting a cold light.

「If you want to die, go ahead and try. 」

While the two were in a standoff, Jin Chen had already slipped to the door and run out.

Chu Ling hurriedly chased after him.

Jin Chen ran all the way to Jiang Qiu's room, grabbing the person attempting suicide with toilet paper and bringing them outside.

「Ow ow ow hey!! 」

Jiang Qiu was grabbed by the collar by him, almost strangling his breath.

「Let him go! 」

Chu Ling roared in anger.

「Hehehe! If you bully my wife, I'll beat your wife to death! 」

Jin Chen made a face at him.

Jiang Qiu used his not-so-smart brain to analyze the meaning of the two words "wife," then hurriedly denied it.

What wife! I don't have a wife!

Shen Yan never expected him to pull this stunt; the anger-fueled emotion suddenly eased, and he couldn't help twitching his mouth.

Seizing Chu Ling's tense moment, Shen Yan's body flashed, and with another syringe he carried, he drew blood from Jiang Qiu's arm.

He swiftly blocked Chu Ling's arm, gave a cold smile, and said, "What you want."

He shoved the syringe into Chu Ling's hand.

"Next time, remember to find the right person."

Poor Jiang Qiu yelled in agony, clueless about the situation, and had half a syringe of blood taken for nothing.

He felt terribly wronged—human society is truly dangerous!

Better to be dead; a corpse is far safer!

Looks like the grand suicide plan still has to go on!

Chu Ling gripped the syringe, shot Shen Yan a cold look, and asked in a voice only they could hear:

"Which organization are you really from?"

Shen Yan: "It's polite to introduce yourself before asking others."

Chu Ling snorted, "Even if you don't tell me, I can find out."

He took Jiang Qiu back, shoved him into the room to soothe him.

Jin Chen snorted contemptuously, swiping his thumb over his nose.

Going up against me, you're still quite green!

He then rushed to Shen Yan to demand a reward.

Wife! Am I not awesome?

Shen Yan rubbed his head, "Yeah, very smart."

I'm going back; you stay in the room and rest.

"Alright."

Research can't be delayed, so Jin Chen didn't pester further.

He also needed to make a solid plan for how to sneak onto the top floor to investigate at night.

Just as he was about to go to the room, he spotted an unknown creature curled up in the wall corner, trembling, inching its way out step by step.

"Miss Squirrel?" Jin Chen, already unfazed, approached very friendly and peacefully to greet.

"What are you doing here?"

"Shh... Miss Squirrel feels extremely dangerous today; she needs close contact with nature to feel at ease."

Bai Wenran made a hushing gesture at him.

"I'm heading to the small grove to play, bye-bye!"

Jin Chen could only watch her go, at a loss for words.

——

That night.

Top-level Laboratory.

A figure pried the door open and slipped inside.

Smart lock—no problem!

The darkness posed no obstacle to Jin Chen's search.

He observed the vast laboratory, first checking the inspection report in the outermost cabinet.

A data sheet clearly recorded how many times each of the five people had blood drawn for research.

The fewest red marks were on Bai Wenran and Yi Fei An.

This undoubtedly increased Yi Fei An's suspicion.

Jin Chen had 0731 record all that data, then kept searching inside; as he passed the cabinet's side, he suddenly stepped on something.

He instantly went on alert, slowly lowering his head to shift his foot.

It was… a pen cap.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief, about to step past, when a sudden flash of insight struck his mind.

In the hidden compartment of the original owner's room, isn't that pen missing its cap?

He had been here before.

——May 14, ……the things I investigated……must remember, absolutely cannot let these things leak out!

The keywords from that diary resurfaced in his mind.

Jin Chen frowned, scanning the cabinet that stored the data.

Because it's in the innermost layer, the stored documents are a mess; if some waste paper is mixed in, they indeed won't be found.

So……the things he previously investigated……are they hidden in here?

Jin Chen immediately began searching; manual flipping was too slow, so he had 0731 scan quickly, and indeed he found something.

Before he could examine it, a sound came from outside the laboratory.
