Chapter 876: I Exist for You 12

Yishen finished replying to the message, then saw Jin Chen sullen and unhappy leaning on the sofa, brow furrowed, still biting the corner of the cushion.

"You met him, then what am I supposed to do."

Tone resentful, like a pitiful abandoned lover.

Yishen sweated, "You can wait for me at home, or… go out and play?"

"No, I have to go with you."

Jin Chen expressed refusal, covering his ears and falling into the sofa corner, "I want to protect Shen Shen's safety, in case that annoying ghost tries to harm you."

"How could it be," Yishen patiently explained to him, "I've known Xuyuchuan for many years, he won't harm me."

"Hmph, I don't believe it."

Jin Chen suddenly sat up, both arms wrapping around his waist in a strong embrace, "The person least likely to harm you is right here."

He took Yishen's hand and slapped it onto his own face, puffing his cheeks, saying: "Dear creator, please believe what I say."

Yishen only felt his palm heating up, subconsciously wanting to pull away, but he restrained himself, still not used to being this close to a person.

"Then… you stay obediently in the book tomorrow, I'll bring the book over."

Facing Jin Chen, Yishen always repeatedly compromises.

Whether it's identity or because of other reasons, Jin Chen is too special to him.

"Really a good method." Jin Chen is very satisfied.

【Host, you let me investigate the author who framed the Main God, he indeed is Xuyuchuan's person, indirectly obtained something from the Time Exchange using time travel.】

Jin Chen gazed at Yishen still scrolling online info, the corner of his mouth gradually disappearing, staring at the screen his eyes turned cold.

【Grasp all evidence of his transaction with Xuyuchuan.】

【Got it!】

Yishen ultimately still didn't respond to this.

The so-called "evidence" is too absurd, to the point he can't produce anything to refute.

Perhaps after meeting Xuyuchuan tomorrow… he could get some clues.

Yishen lowered his eyes, turned off his phone.

For some reason, he always feels Xuyuchuan is inseparable from this matter.

So tomorrow's meeting still needs preparation.

——

Next morning, coffee shop.

"Over here."

Xuyuchuan saw Yishen enter, smiling and waving at him, seeming forever this suave demeanor.

Yishen glanced at him, sat opposite, his face showing no expression.

"What do you want from me."

"Last night's Weibo… frankly, I was also startled."

Xuyuchuan saw him cut straight to the topic, not intending to make small talk, so he didn't waste time.

"The publisher has been pressuring me, you are my signed author under my hand, yet you caused this mess, everyone thinks it's ugly."

Yishen ordered a hand-ground black coffee, hearing this his expression slightly changed, "So?"

Xuyuchuan avoided his sharp gaze, expression helpless, "So…… possibly the team helping you will be withdrawn, then the lawsuit dropped."

"This matter ends here."

Yishen frowned, his already expressionless face grew colder. "Even if you know I didn't plagiarize?"

Xuyuchuan: "But netizens don't know, the evidence the other side produced is too solid, I feel…."

Yishen: "Xuyuchuan, if you know the truth behind the plagiarism incident and still don't tell me, you definitely won't get to drink this coffee."

He directly interrupted Xuyuchuan's words, sitting quietly observing reaction, indeed caught a flash of obvious panic on Xuyuchuan's face.

"Ah Shen?!"

Xuyuchuan instantly sat upright, eyes alert scanning the bustling coffee shop.

"You promised not to use this ability on me!"

He almost gritted his teeth, hand already instinctively moving to his waist item.

Yishen's tone calm, even tinged with mockery.

"If you're not guilty, why be afraid."

Xuyuchuan tried to use Fortune Value to let himself escape misfortune, fingers constantly fiddling with the substitution device given by the Time Exchange.

But with Jin Chen present, how could he succeed.

The book in the backpack was opened, a surge of Spiritual Power emerged.

Fortune Value was canceled.

"Ah!!"

A passing waiter suddenly slipped, the coffee in his hand prepared for Xuyuchuan also left the tray.

Amid the waiter's astonished scream, the whole cup of coffee precisely splashed onto Xuyuchuan's head.

Then slowly slid down, wetting the carefully coordinated beige coat and scarf.

Xuyuchuan: "……"

Unable to dodge, he instinctively closed his eyes to bear it, the anger in his heart instantly ignited.

"Yishen! You…"

"You lied to me."

Yishen took over his words, his voice also already carrying anger, even more imposing.

You know what's going on with this, yet you still fabricate a lie you know nothing about.

Xuyuchuan had just wanted to curse, but he swallowed it back.

Regardless, we cannot openly fall out with Yishen now.

He still needs to rely on Yishen's exceptionally favorable Fortune Value to smoothly advance to headquarters; he cannot stop here.

You misunderstood...

Xuyuchuan anxiously explained, hastily took out a few tissues to wipe clean, completely ignored the waiter, waved his hand signaling him to leave quickly.

I only know who the author is, but I have no idea what method he used.

If you don't believe me, you can continue using this ability to test me.

When he said this, Xuyuchuan's tone was obviously helpless, as if he were disappointed by Yishen's behavior that disregarded their over-a-decade friendship.

Xuyuchuan originally didn't know what method the Time Exchange used; when he wasn't lying, his attitude had to be even more resolute.

Yishen could see that, and there was no need to test again with the same method.

All that needs to be known is that the whole affair is indeed connected to Xuyuchuan.

Xuyuchuan knows but says nothing to him, which represents the attitude of the entire publishing house.

Yishen suddenly understood why the publishing house's so-called legal team had investigated for so long without any feedback.

They never even considered clarifying this matter.

Hey, Yishen actually didn't scold him. Jin Chen thought, not intending to let Xuyuchuan just leave like that.

He came out of the book, appeared in the corner outside the coffee shop, peeked around to see if anyone noticed, then immediately stepped out and brushed off the rainwater on his clothes.

Yishen perhaps didn't notice that today he himself was still wearing the same style and color scheme as him.

Jin Chen was extremely satisfied; he pushed the door open, his expression instantly turning noble and icy, he lifted his gaze and gave a disdainful sweep at the bewildered Xuyuchuan.

There were also Time Exchange members at the neighboring table.

Just now when he entered, Jin Chen noticed that the members who came this time were stronger than the previous ones; he guessed they were targeting him, not Yishen.

Yishen slowly turned his head in Xuyuchuan's astonished gaze, met Jin Chen's eyes, raised his brows in puzzlement, his expression helpless.

Weren't you supposed to stay quietly in the book?

He glanced at the backpack to signal.

Jin Chen received the signal, blinked innocently.

You never said I had to stay put; I came out for a breather.

Yishen:...

Is that even something to say?
