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 felt 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 agent from Taobao and said, "I'm sorry, dear, our family doesn't have that kind of leveling up. It is suggested that you consider trying other games."

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

Xiao Churan said with a smile, "I'm sorry, dear, our family 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 and said, "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 input it wrong. 4 is very dissatisfied!"

Xiao Churan said huffily, "Congratulations, dear, 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 in her mouth. After spinning for a while with a squeaking sound, she said, "Congratulations, dear, you have received a random gift—demoted one level on the spot! The gift takes effect immediately!"

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

Xiao Churan giggled and said, "Dear, once the hidden random treasure chest is opened, it cannot be returned!"

Ye Chen said, "I want to 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 feedback on the result. However, before the feedback result comes out, you still need to accept the random punishment of being demoted one level on the spot."

Ye Chen said, "I am a regular customer of our game. Can you give me some face? Let's waive the punishment this time!"

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

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 evaluation. Today's connection ends here. See you next time."

That night, Ye Chen slept very restlessly.

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

Of course, although they were sharing a bed, there was no chance to share a pillow; the two of them each used their own pillows and slept in their own quilts.

Ye Chen truly didn't dare to cross the "38th parallel" in the middle; otherwise, if he were really demoted one level on the spot, wouldn't he have no tears left to cry?

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

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

Well, this was, after all, 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 awake for a long time, each with their own thoughts, before falling asleep one after the other.

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

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

Xiao Churan was a girl who loved cleanliness; basically, she took a bath every morning and evening, and Ye Chen was long used to it.

He stretched, and just as he was about to get up, the phone under his pillow suddenly buzzed.

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

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

Ye Chen asked hurriedly, "What's going on?! What happened at the welfare institute? 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 welfare institute could actually be stolen, Ye Chen was both anxious and angry. He asked hurriedly, "Xiaofen, tell me specifically, what exactly is going on?"

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

Ye Chen was suddenly furious and scolded, "What kind of person is so bold? To actually dare to steal even the children from a welfare institute?!"

Li Xiaofen cried and said, "This kind of thing has happened before, but they were all discovered by us in time before. Human traffickers are especially rampant now. They don't just dare to come to welfare institutes to steal; they also dare to go to hospitals to steal, go to people's homes to steal, and even snatch children directly from people on the street!"

As she spoke, Li Xiaofen added, "The main thing is that this business is too profitable for them. Any child can be sold for about 100,000 yuan. If it's the kind of 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 asked hurriedly, "Then what is the situation now? Have you called the police?"

Li Xiaofen said hurriedly, "Auntie Li and the director called the police a long time ago. They have already filed a case for investigation, but the police officer said they speculate that the night-shift auntie was anesthetized around 3:00 AM. That is to say, 4 hours have passed since they stole the children. In these 4 hours, they might have already left Jin Ling, or even left the province!"
