Chapter 512

After Ye Chen asked this question, he was extremely nervous.

He didn't know what kind of reply Xiao Churan would give him.

Just at this moment, he suddenly felt an object hit his face. The next moment, he realized that the object was the little bear Xiao Churan usually hugged to sleep.

At this time, he heard Xiao Churan say in his ear: "You are so greedy. When you play mobile games, leveling up gets harder the further you go. How could it be so simple?"

Ye Chen said aggrievedly: "Wife, mobile games level up very fast now. One slash and you're level 80!"

Xiao Churan pretended to be a customer service representative and said: "I'm sorry, dear, our shop doesn't have that kind of leveling up. I suggest you consider trying other games."

Ye Chen hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I don't want to try other games. I just want to ask if our game has a faster way to level up?"

Xiao Churan smiled and said: "I'm sorry, dear, our shop doesn't have any shortcuts for now."

"Alright!" Ye Chen sighed and said: "I will continue to work hard."

Xiao Churan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Since that's the case, customer service is going off duty now. If you have any other questions to consult, please come back tomorrow morning."

Seeing that she was in a playful mood, Ye Chen hurriedly cooperated: "Alright, then let's talk about it tomorrow morning."

Xiao Churan added: "Then please don't hang up yet. After the beep, please rate my service. 1 is very satisfied, 2 is satisfied, 3 is dissatisfied."

Ye Chen said: "4!"

Xiao Churan said: "Sorry, input error, please re-enter."

Ye Chen said: "I didn't enter it wrong, 4 is very dissatisfied!"

Xiao Churan said huffily: "Congratulations, you have activated a hidden random treasure chest in the game. You will receive a random gift. To open the chest, please press 1; to give up the chest, please press 2."

Ye Chen blurted out: "1!"

Xiao Churan imitated the sound of a prize wheel spinning. After spinning for a while, she said: "Congratulations, you have received a random gift—immediate demotion by one level! The gift takes effect immediately!"

Ye Chen screamed in fear: "No, no, I don't want this gift!"

Xiao Churan giggled: "Dear, once a hidden random treasure chest is opened, it cannot be returned!"

Ye Chen said: "I want to file an appeal! I pressed the wrong button just now, I wanted to press 2!"

Xiao Churan laughed for a while before saying: "Dear, the system has received your appeal. We will process your appeal within two days and provide you with the results. However, before the results are out, you still need to accept the random penalty of immediate demotion."

Ye Chen said: "I am a loyal customer of our game. Can you do me a favor? Please waive the penalty this time!"

Xiao Churan thought for a moment before saying: "Dear, considering that you are indeed our loyal customer, we have decided after discussion to give you another chance to choose."

After saying that, she cleared her throat and said: "To open the chest, please press 1; to give up the chest, please press 2."

Ye Chen could only say: "2! I choose 2!"

Xiao Churan then said: "It's a pity that you missed the random gift in this hidden random treasure chest. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Ye Chen sighed: "No, nothing else. I'm going to continue leveling up."

Xiao Churan said: "Then please don't hang up yet. After the beep, please rate my service. 1 is very satisfied, 2 is satisfied, 3 is dissatisfied."

Ye Chen wailed: "1! Very satisfied!"

Xiao Churan then said with satisfaction: "Thank you for your rating. That's all for today's connection. See you next time."

That night, Ye Chen didn't sleep very soundly.

Although he had only leveled up by one level, this was the first time he had shared a bed with Xiao Churan since they got married.

Of course, although they shared a bed, they didn't share a pillow; the two of them used their own pillows and slept in their own quilts.

Ye Chen really didn't dare to cross the "38th parallel" in the middle; otherwise, if he were really demoted on the spot, wouldn't he be crying without tears?

Xiao Churan actually hadn't fallen asleep for a long time either; she also felt very nervous in her heart.

Although she and Ye Chen were sleeping in their own quilts and there was no skin-to-skin contact, she still felt her heart beating very fast.

Well, after all, this was the first time she had shared a bed with a man since she started sleeping in a separate room from her parents in her childhood.

It would be strange if she weren't nervous.

Just like that, the two of them lay there with their own thoughts, suffering from insomnia for a long time before falling asleep one after the other.

The next morning, Ye Chen opened his eyes, and Xiao Churan was already gone from his side.

Hearing the sound of the shower coming from the bathroom, Ye Chen knew that Xiao Churan was taking a bath.

Xiao Churan was a very clean girl who basically took a bath every morning and evening, and Ye Chen had long since become accustomed to it.

He stretched and was about to get up when the phone under his pillow suddenly buzzed.

He took out his phone and discovered that it was actually a call from Li Xiaofen.

After answering the call, Li Xiaofen's anxious voice came from the other end: "Brother Ye Chen, something happened at the orphanage!"

Ye Chen hurriedly asked: "What happened?! What happened at the orphanage? Don't be anxious, tell me slowly."

Li Xiaofen choked with sobs: "Ten children are missing! We suspect they were stolen!"

"What?!" Hearing that the children at the orphanage had actually been stolen, Ye Chen was both anxious and furious. He hurriedly asked: "Xiaofen, tell me specifically, what exactly happened?"

Li Xiaofen hurriedly said: "This morning, the day-shift auntie in charge of the infants and toddlers went to take over from the night-shift auntie and found the night-shift auntie unconscious. All ten children in one room were gone. The night-shift auntie still hasn't woken up, and the doctor said she was drugged with a very strong anesthetic!"

Ye Chen was instantly enraged and scolded: "Whoever did this is too bold, isn't it? How dare they even steal children from an orphanage?!"

Li Xiaofen cried and said: "This kind of thing has happened before, but we discovered it in time previously. Human traffickers are especially rampant now. They don't just dare to steal from orphanages; they also dare to steal from hospitals, steal from people's homes, and even snatch children directly from people on the street!"

As she spoke, Li Xiaofen added: "The main thing is that this line of work is too profitable for them. Any child can be sold for about 100,000 yuan. If it's a child who looks pretty, those rich people who can't have children are even willing to pay a very high price to buy them..."

Ye Chen hurriedly asked: "What is the situation now? Have you called the police?"

Li Xiaofen hurriedly said: "Auntie Li and the director called the police a long time ago, and they have already opened a case for investigation. But the police officer said they estimate the night-shift auntie was drugged around 3:00 AM. That is to say, it has already been 4 hours since they stole the children. In these 4 hours, they might have already left Jin Ling, or even left the province!"
