On the other side.

Luo Chen, who had separated from Langya, did not leave.

He remained on the fourth floor, awaiting further developments.

If the plot and storyline don't deviate from the expected path, those people are currently safe.

Jiang Shiyu, as one of the female leads, naturally has no problem with it either.

In the main storyline, the protagonist Ye Feng reveals his skills, defeats the group, and wins Jiang Shiyu's favor in a heroic rescue scene.

After all, in such despair, if someone suddenly reached out and saved her, anyone would be deeply moved.

But right now, the main character isn't here.

The plot was thus brought forward.

Therefore, if there is any deviation, it is undoubtedly that Luo Chen's identity has been switched with that of the protagonist.

Of course, if he hadn't stumbled upon it so suddenly, Luo Chen wouldn't have made a special trip to save people.

After all, he wasn't familiar with Jiang Shiyu and had never met her before.

They didn't even know each other, so why would he risk coming for her?

But since such a thing has happened, even though she is the female lead, she is still protected by a halo.

But what if the halo stops working and something unexpected happens?

It's hard to say, and there's a chance involved. If things develop according to the normal plot, then naturally it won't happen.

It's just not normal at all right now.

If such a situation were to actually occur, it would have a significant impact on both the plot and Luo Chen's planned scheme.

So, since we've encountered this situation, no matter how abrupt it may seem, we naturally have to take action.

Otherwise, if the protagonist finds out about this, who knows what he might do next.

Ye Lin is a case in point.

Most importantly, Jiang Shiyu is indeed quite innocent and pitiful.

[...]

Luo Chen found a spot on the fourth floor and waited there.

According to the storyline, this location is where Jiang Shiyu can be saved.

That was also the spot where Ye Feng was standing at the time.

All Luo Chen needs to do now is to tilt his head slightly upwards, then stretch out his hands to save Jiang Shiyu.

It's very simple and convenient.

Given his master-level physique, such an impact was negligible.

However, after waiting for quite a while, there was still no movement from above, which deviated slightly from the timeline of the story.

Although Wolf Fang has already secretly infiltrated the area, they will subdue all of them with lightning speed when those people are off guard.

Luo Chen was slightly puzzled. Did Wolf Fang already take care of everything without him having to do anything?

With Wolf Fang's skills, dealing with those people would be quite easy.

But we didn't hear anything.

Filled with doubt and curiosity, Luo Chen leaned against the railing, stretched his head out, and looked up.

Before Luo Chen could make his next move, a piece of fabric printed with strawberries, accompanied by two smooth, long legs, rushed towards his face.

The white skirt of her dress fluttered in the air, falling rapidly, casting her entire face into the air, leaving her unable to look around.

Bang--!

As the sound of something falling to the ground rang out, a brief silence fell over the fourth floor.

"Um……"

With a soft moan, Jiang Shiyu, still kneeling above Luo Chen, looked around in confusion before mustering her courage and jumping from the sixth floor to save everyone's lives.

I thought I would experience the greatest pain of my life, after all, jumping from such a height must be quite painful.

And it will be very ugly...

However, the expected pain and scenes did not occur. Instead, when I jumped down and touched the ground, it seemed quite comfortable.

Is death not a painful thing?

Just as Jiang Shiyu was thinking this, she suddenly felt a wave of heat coming from below her.

Still lost in thought, bewildered and dazed, he looked down.

Upon seeing this, she was immediately stunned.

[Holy crap, this isn't right, why is it like this?]

[We're both trying to save someone, so why is there such a huge difference in treatment? Ye Feng caught it with his hands, but I had to be caught on the face, and right on the face at that! What's going on here?]

Actually, Luo Chen was able to react just now, but if it weren't for the wind blinding him during the fall, causing him to lose focus slightly and an accident to occur.

This situation will absolutely not happen.

It couldn't be because the other person's strawberry was eye-catching and made them seem innocent.

Jiang Shiyu, who was still kneeling above Luo Chen, went from being stunned to being lost in thought. Because of her long skirt and her current posture, Jiang Shiyu could not see what the person being pressed down below looked like.

She also understood why she jumped down from there; she didn't feel any pain when she touched the solid object, even though the heat was still there, which made her feel strange.

But now that she knows the situation, she realizes that she is actually still alive.

and……

With a mix of nervousness and excitement, Jiang Shiyu slowly pulled away the skirt covering the other person's face.

The moment Luo Chen's face came into view, Jiang Shiyu's eyes immediately reddened.

"It's you. I've finally seen you again."

[...]

On the way back.

Luo Chen sat silently in the back.

Wolf Fang glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed that Luo Chen's expression was off, but he didn't think of saying anything.

Keep your eyes on the road ahead and drive with peace of mind.

The matter at the department store has been resolved.

Apart from the unlucky guy who died at the beginning, the others were not harmed.

However, because of the shock from this incident, I need time to recover; there are no other problems.

After all, when Jiang Shiyu jumped down, he took advantage of the moment when the other party was relaxed and quickly subdued him.

Although I was somewhat surprised that those people actually had martial arts backgrounds.

But how could a mere Ming Jin (a type of martial arts skill) be a match for him?

As for Luo Chen, Wolf Fang was not worried at all.

After all, everyone's tasks were very easy.

Wolf Fang was in charge of subduing them.

Luo Chen was in charge of rescuing people.

There was no pressure whatsoever.

only……

What Langya didn't understand was why Luo Chen remained silent and looked puzzled after the matter was over.

Adding to that, when they parted, Jiang Shiyu looked at Luo Chen with such lingering reluctance.

Wolf Fang was somewhat confused as to what had happened between the two of them in such a short time.

But Langya wasn't the gossipy type. Although he was somewhat curious, he didn't intend to investigate further.

Sitting in the back seat, Luo Chen still couldn't understand why Jiang Shiyu's first words upon seeing his face were those.

"It's you. I've finally seen you again."

The excitement and suppressed emotions in their voices suggested that the two of them had met before.

But Luo Chen was certain that he and Jiang Shiyu did not know each other.

We've never met.

Although they have a cooperative relationship with the Jiang family due to their involvement in biological research.

However, among the three families' collaboration, Luo Chen met the Ye family the most.

None of the Jiang family's representatives showed up.

Luo Chen was confused.

None of the other members of the Jiang family had ever seen him.

How could he have known Jiang Shiyu?

Moreover... it was as if the other party knew him very well.
