4-44: "I'm afraid you'll hate me."

Huaiyan didn't know how to face Jin Xiuchen.

Especially after Jin Xiuchen made a promise to him.

On the one hand, he felt it was best not to disrupt the current peace. Playing dumb would suffice.

No matter what kind of ghost king or fierce ghost, he can get away with it as long as he pretends to be stupid.

Moreover, things have already come to this point, and in the future, dealing with Lin Mu might require the Ghost King.

Huai Yan dared not make any rash moves.

But given the current situation, Huaiyan couldn't bear not to speak out.

He wanted to know what Jin Xiuchen's mindset was when he started dating him.

In fact, Huaiyan had noticed these things a long time ago.

However, he was never sure, so he took every step with extreme caution.

But today, the moment Huaiyan saw Jin Xiuchen at the door of the ward.

He knew he could no longer play dumb.

The harsh reality was laid bare before him, forcing Huaiyan to confront it.

"Jin Xiuchen".

At this moment, only Huai Yan and Jin Xiuchen were in the ward.

Huai Yan no longer had any reservations and said directly, "Should I call you Ghost King or Professor Jin?"

The boy's voice was clear and cold, like cool mountain spring water poured over Jin Xiuchen.

“Baby,” Jin Xiuchen said calmly, stepping forward to kiss the boy’s forehead and exclaiming, “So smart.”

These three words resonated deeply within Huaiyan's heart.

Huaiyan finally realized the truth and breathed a huge sigh of relief.

He had originally thought that men wouldn't admit it so easily.

After all, Huaiyan had already gone straight to the point from the very beginning, asking Jin Xiuchen directly.

At that time, Jin Xiuchen pretended not to hear and covered up his question.

"Why didn't you tell me?" After struggling with her inner conflict, Huaiyan calmed down instead.

Because he had guessed this, he wasn't entirely unable to accept it.

"...It wasn't intentional."

Jin Xiuchen explained quickly, his dark blue, somewhat cold eyes looking into Huai Yan's eyes.

“I thought,” Jin Xiuchen said in a cold, deep voice, as if he were talking about something that didn’t concern him, “that you would like Jin Xiuchen a little more.”

"Is that all?" Huaiyan asked softly. "Have you considered what will happen after I find out about this, and what I will think?"

Huai Yan couldn't help but feel regretful.

Mingming clearly didn't want their relationship to escalate to this point.

But in the end, he still couldn't calmly recount his own story.

He had to let Jin Xiuchen know about his grievances, his fears, and his love.

"I'm sorry." Jin Xiuchen's voice was as clear as if it had been washed by water.

His throat was dry and hoarse; when facing the boy, the man no longer possessed the eloquence he had displayed when dealing with Huai Yi.

"I don't want to hear you apologize," Huai Yan interrupted Jin Xiuchen before he could finish speaking.

His voice was calm and steady, "I just want to know how much sincerity you truly had for me."

Now that things have come to this, Huaiyan no longer wants to end things in a dignified manner.

Or rather, things have come to this point that a dignified ending is no longer possible.

Once Jiang Feng is imprisoned and Lin Mu has received his just deserts, Huai Yan should finally be released from the public eye.

Time is running out anyway, and there's even less time left for them to spend together.

“Such two completely separate personalities,” Huai Yan said with a hint of sadness, but her expression remained calm, “what was your mindset when you were with me?”

Jin Xiuchen and the Ghost King have very different personalities, and it is generally difficult for ordinary people to realize that they are the same person.

If it weren't for the evidence and clues found, Huaiyan would have remained completely in the dark.

Therefore, he had to admire the man's acting skills, which were so exquisite and so ingenious.

It's hard to imagine that these two seemingly disparate individuals are actually the same person.

After speaking in one breath, Huaiyan quietly gazed at Jin Xiuchen's face.

He just wanted an answer.

The ward was quiet, with only the sound of the two people breathing as they looked at each other.

The clock on the pure white wall continues its tireless ticking.

In this quiet environment, Jin Xiuchen lowered his eyes, concealing all his emotions.

"Actually, I'm very afraid that you'll hate me." After a long while, the man finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "I don't know what kind of relationship I should have with you."

Initially, when the young man was deeply involved in Jiang Feng's conspiracy...

Jin Xiuchen tried every possible way to remind the boy, but in the end he used an extremely harsh method.

He was afraid the boy would get hurt, and afraid he would encounter setbacks in his emotional journey.

What I fear even more is that the boy will fall in love with that scumbag Jiang Feng.

Later, Jin Xiuchen appeared before Huaiyan as a university professor.

He then realized that Huaiyan seemed to prefer Professor Jin Xiuchen.

Even before Lan Chu asked Jin Xiuchen, he had already sensed it.

“I wasn’t playing you, including when I first pursued you in school, that was true,” Jin Xiuchen said softly. “I knew you long before you knew me.”

He searched for Huai inkstones for a long time.

So long that I've forgotten many things, yet I've also experienced many things and traversed countless worlds.

He traveled across vast planes and made deals with the Supreme God in the world of intelligent intelligence.

Finally, I was able to come here.

But Huaiyan seems to have forgotten who he is, and has completely forgotten about the person he met in previous worlds.

Jin Xiuchen was initially furious.

He hated the youth who played around with life, burying the past in the endless wilderness.

I hate myself even more for not discovering it sooner.

It's just a world of AI; nobody can do anything to it.

"What did you say?" Huai Yan was stunned for a moment.

In his daze, he felt a sense of dread.

He was only here to complete his mission and didn't want to have anything to do with the people here.

Jin Xiuchen knew him before this, but did he know the original owner of the body, or did he know him?

impossible.

No one in the AI ​​world will recognize him.

He came into this world alone, and he should leave alone as well. How could he possibly leave any ties with anyone?

"Yan Yan," Jin Xiuchen said in a deep voice, "my heart is true."

If I fail, may I be torn to pieces.

_

When Jiang Feng was taken away, he was still in a state of frenzy.

...That's impossible, absolutely impossible.

Huai Yan has already been captured, and it looks like he's about to succeed; all he needs is the Huai family's approval.

Why did things turn out this way? What exactly did he do wrong?

"Let me go...!" Jiang Feng struggled, trying to turn back to find someone.

In fact, this was just a subconscious action of his, because no one would be waiting for him behind him.

But in a fleeting glance, Jiang Feng caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

Then, before he could react, his foot seemed to trip over something.

In an instant, Jiang Feng fell straight to the ground.

He almost fell face-first to the ground, his cheek slamming hard against the concrete floor, leaving him completely stunned.

Then, Jiang Feng suddenly heard a sobbing sound.

Those were the shrill, piercing cries of an infant.

In broad daylight, Jiang Feng felt a chill run down his spine and his hair stand on end.

A thin layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his body.

His clothes were soaked with sweat, leaving him completely exhausted.

The baby's cry... Isn't that what Lin Mu told him back then?

"A ghost! Ahhhhhh, a ghost!" Jiang Feng suddenly struggled violently, scrambling to his feet and shouting, "Don't come any closer! A ghost! Ahhhhhh! Help!!"

As he spoke, Jiang Feng, as if he had lost his mind, broke free from the restraints of several policemen.

He pushed through the crowd and, for some reason, ran into the police car.

The police officers looked at each other, their expressions growing increasingly puzzled.

The young man is so young, he shouldn't have gone crazy after suffering such a big blow, right?

In broad daylight, there wasn't a single ghost, not even a crow.

-

Lin Mu looked away from the window with satisfaction.

He watched as Jiang Feng ran into the police car, and the police drove off.

Only then did Lin Mu finally feel a huge weight lifted from his heart.

His plan succeeded.

Unexpectedly, the exchange of fates was so simple. He had simply asked someone to use a trick, and the effect was even better than he had anticipated.

If Jiang Feng hadn't been so foolish, perhaps his plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief after finally getting rid of the lingering ghost.

He lay back down on the bed with ease, his mind preoccupied with other things.

Since he used this method to defeat Jiang Feng, does that mean...?

Could he use the same method to deal with other people?

Lin Mu felt a sudden enlightenment, as if he had found a good solution.

Thinking of this, Lin Mu lay on his side on the hospital bed, a small smile on his lips, and slowly closed his eyes.

And at the foot of his bed.

The hideous ghost was silently watching him, revealing a sinister smile.

A vengeful ghost isn't so easily banished.

-

When Huai Yan learned that the case was going to trial, he had already been transferred from the ICU to a regular ward.

Huaiyi was worried that he wouldn't be comfortable, so he made sure the ward was a deluxe single room.

“Given the situation, Jiang Feng will likely get at least ten years in prison,” Huai Yi said, turning on the news channel in City A. “He probably won’t be getting out.”

The news is broadcasting the biggest news in City A recently.

The CEO of a well-known listed company imprisoned his wife for five years with his son.

The reason was that his wife discovered the company was evading taxes and had ties to organized crime, so she wanted to report it.

The father and son cruelly imprisoned the man for five years, depriving him of his ability to move, ultimately leading to his death.

This case immediately caused a sensation throughout City A.

The case became the talk of the town, and Jiang Feng and his father were already infamous.

Huai Yan looked at the screen and saw Jiang Feng with a full beard, facing a group of reporters with a blank expression.

Only then did he experience the thrill of revenge.

The pain that the original owner experienced is far more than just a fraction of what Jiang Feng is feeling now.

While in prison, he had already arranged "connections" for Jiang Feng.

As long as the other person is alive, the care will not stop.

So, what's next?

It was Lin Mu's turn.
