Chapter 760: Lots of Fun in the Sanatorium 45

~7 min read 1,283 words

Wait a moment, I'll take Shangguan Hao to get his medicine later; you go back on your own.

Qiao Qing suddenly spoke up to stop them.

Yi Fei An looked over, puzzled.

How come it feels off?

"No need, I'll arrange his medicine."

Shen Yan gave back that excuse, then grabbed Shangguan Hao's collar and walked out.

"Oh dear, everyone's fighting over me, I'm really embarrassed."

Huakui suddenly became extremely shy, shook off Shen Yan's arm, covered his face, and ran out.

This time nobody caught him.

Qiao Qing breathed a sigh of relief and stopped intervening.

If Shangguan Hao truly hasn't regained his memory, that's fine; but if he has recovered his memory and still wants to be loyal to Jin Chen, then isn't he just being a sucker?

Shen Yan didn't say much more; after leaving the cafeteria, he had Liu Sheng follow Shangguan Hao, while they walked back.

Jin Chen leisurely watched the hallway monitors, saying nothing, just being affectionate with Shen Yan.

This was tough on Bai Wenran.

She wanted to quickly chat with Jin Chen, but had to watch out for the monitors and also endure their lovey-dovey.

It's the Jin Team who's lucky—though they all went mad from the experiment explosion, only he ended up with a wife for free.

Damn it, damn it.

Only after the room was tightly shut did Bai Wenran finally let out the breath she'd been holding.

"Jin Team!"

Jin Chen's eyes widened, "Afraid nobody can hear you, huh?"

Bai Wenran hastily covered her mouth, her eyeballs rolling around.

"Isn't this a bit too excited…"

"What's wrong with you? How did you recover before me? What's been happening lately? Do you know Yi Fei An is undercover? What's up with Jiang Qiu? And what exactly is Dr. Shen's identity?"

Jin Chen, Shen Yan: "……"

He opened his mouth, unsure which question to answer first.

After a silence lasting several seconds, Jin Chen decisively gave up.

"Jing Ming! Come in!"

Jin Chen shouted.

"You explain it to her."

Thus Jing Ming began a lengthy explanation.

A few minutes later, Bai Wenran silently raised her hand with a question.

"Why did you initially suspect Jiang Qiu?"

Jin Chen tossed the USB drive to her.

Bai Wenran was naturally very familiar with it—it was exactly what she had made the last time she regained her senses.

She felt out a crystal core card slot from the necklace on her neck, placed it on the table and tapped it a few times, making a simple computer.

Bai Wenran inserted the USB drive into the slot to read it.

She re‑examined her complete record from start to finish; upon seeing one entry, she suddenly looked up, shocked.

"This entry wasn't written by me."

"I know, it also appears in my records."

Jin Chen pulled his wife into the sofa, chin resting on her shoulder, "Whenever my investigation hits a dead end, a diary shows up to guide the way."

"It really makes it hard not to suspect the motive."

"Take a look at this."

He took a crystal core from behind his ear and handed it over.

Shen Yan was somewhat astonished, cradling his face and looking again: "Where did you pull that out from?"

"Shangguan Hao just made it; it startled me—I thought he was going to kill me."

Jin Chen's wife fiddled with his face, his neck got a little itchy, so he scratched it with his hand.

"He's also recovered his memory."

Shen Yan suddenly pinched his cheeks, "Shangguan Hao took the medicine Qiao Qing gave him to recover his memory, yet he's still loyal to you."

"You two didn't really have anything going on before, did you?"

"Oh dear, a bit of jealousy."

Jin Chen chuckled, hugged and kissed his wife, "Of course not! I saved the lives of these few people—being disloyal would be strange, take Jiang Qiu, that brat, for example."

He kissed her eyes, "Honey, don't overthink it."

"Mmm…"

Bai Wenran could barely bear to watch.

After reading the crystal core, she had some understanding of Shangguan Hao's encrypted information; her fingers flew over the virtual keyboard on the table and soon decrypted it.

"The reason Yi Fei An betrayed… he knows his days are numbered, so he pretended to cooperate with the w plan people, intending to steal the complete E‑crystal; but halfway he turned against them and allied with Black Rock, planning to burn the bridge after crossing."

"Black Rock's goal isn't the E‑crystal but the lab's core data; the w plan folks want to monopolize the E‑crystal, and that's why the lab exploded."

"Qiao Qing's target is the heart‑blood inside the Jin Team members, in a huge amount, the reason unknown and urgently needing investigation; as for Jiang Qiu…… he's just sick, his betrayal motive unclear."

"Moreover, based on Jiang Qiu and Qiao Qing's recent discussions, they intend to lure the w plan's core leadership to the sanatorium and wipe them out in one sweep."

Bai Wenran opened her mouth wide.

He investigated it too thoroughly!

He truly is their organization's confidential specialist!

Shen Yan frowned slightly, endeavoring to merge the writer of this information with that dissolute Huakui young master.

The contrast is still quite large.

He moved closer into Jin Chen's embrace, whispering: "Is Shangguan Hao trustworthy?"

To be honest, if it weren't for Jin Chen, he wouldn't trust any member of this organization.

He can be trusted; he's the first person I saved, and also the one I've been with the longest.

Jin Chen had no hesitation.

After saying that, he felt something was off and quickly changed his wording.

What I mean is, he won't betray.

Shen Yan gave a light laugh, "This time I didn't overthink it."

Bai Wenran silently raised his hand.

I'm the second one!

Speaking of Jin Team, we might as well let the bullets fly a bit longer, let Qiao Qing deal with those from the W plan, and we'll deal with the Three Gray and Yi Fei An!

Jin Chen hummed, "It's good that Shangguan doesn't reveal his identity; as for Yi Fei An…"

Thinking of today's events, "He will lose patience before we do."

There's another issue.

Shen Yan pondered, his expression somewhat tense: "We still don't know who killed today's corpse, and… what does the 8‑day countdown mean?"

I tend to think it's already a member of the Black Rock organization disguised as Gray Three.

As for this speculation, the others in the room had no objections.

After all, given the current situation, neither Sheng Jiping's people nor Qiao Qing have a reason to kill an ordinary nurse.

And the Black Rock people, fearing the world not being chaotic, causing panic in the sanatorium, is more favorable to their disguise and plan.

Bai Wenran put things away, the crystal core was instantly destroyed, and he drooped his head in worry.

How did we come to this point? Once the sanatorium affair is over, what should we do?

Jin Chen: "Go to the ST Guild."

Shen Yan raised his brows in surprise: "You… have decided?"

"Decided, I'll go wherever you are."

Jin Chen raised his eyebrows, the corner of his mouth curling into a deep smile, his peach blossom eyes rippling with amusement: "Anyway, I'm just clinging to my wife."

Their eyes met; Shen Yan's depths stirred, his aloof face softening into a smile as he turned his head, cupping Jin Chen's face and pressing a kiss upon it.

Then, in an instant, he was wrapped around the waist, inseparable.

The other two in the room: burp.

Can't stand it, can't stand it.

Bai Wenran was the first to run out, and incidentally grabbed Jing Ming.
