Chapter 82: Jinjiang Dufa When did you want to...

It was already that afternoon when Lu Chiyuan and Jiang Chen drove in the rain to the city where the branch was located.

The weather here is not exactly sunny, but compared to the pouring rain, lightning and thunder on the other side, the cloudy days here become lovely.

Lu Mingxuan has been transferred from the emergency room to the general ward. His condition is very strange. He has no wounds on his body and his vital signs are normal. The only problem is that he is not conscious.

The hospital kept him in for observation.

When Jiang Chen and his friends arrived, there was Xu Chen in the hospital besides Chen Xingxu.

Jiang Chen and Lu Chiyuan were a little surprised to see Xu Chen.

"Why are you here?"

Jiang Chen and the others rushed over as soon as they received the news, but they only arrived at this time. Xu Chen couldn't possibly walk faster than them.

Xu Chen said: "I'm nearby."

Then he paused and added, "Travel."

After Xu Chen left Huanyu, he tried to stay away from Lu Mingxuan and no longer actively organized weekend gatherings and looked for opportunities to spend time with him like before.

He started to keep to himself, but after a while he found that the effect was not as good as he had imagined.

If you really care about someone, you won't forget them just because you can't see them. Missing them will give rise to thousands of hands and feet, scratching your heart and liver, making you unable to sleep.

He knew that Lu Mingxuan was on a business trip, and he came here because he had something to talk to him about, but he didn't expect to encounter something like this.

It was not convenient for him to say that he came for Lu Mingxuan at the moment, so traveling became a good excuse.

Jiang Chen and the other two saw it, but without saying much, they exchanged a few pleasantries and let the matter pass.

Chen Xingxu told them about Lu Mingxuan's situation. All they could do now was wait for Lu Mingxuan to wake up.

"You guys haven't eaten yet after rushing here, right? I've ordered a meal, do you want to go eat something first?"

Chen Xingxu had been busy all day. He didn't notice how nervous he was before, but now that he had relaxed he realized that he was starving.

Xu Chen finished his meal and said, "You guys go ahead, I'll be here."

Jiang Chen and his friends didn't bother to be polite with Xu Chen. The three of them had their meal near the hospital. As they were preoccupied with things, they finished the meal very quickly. They hardly spoke during the meal and went back to the hospital right after dinner.

As soon as they walked to the door of the single room where Lu Mingxuan was staying, they heard the sound of conversation coming from the ward. They were excited for a moment and thought that Lu Mingxuan had woken up.

Chen Xingxu pushed open the door first, and the person inside turned around. It was not Lu Mingxuan, but Jiang Yu, whom he had just met in the morning.

Jiang Yu was wearing casual clothes and had a shaved head. He looked energetic and capable. He was sitting opposite Xu Chen, and he was the one talking to Xu Chen just now.

"Brother Jiang Yu, are you off work?" Chen Xingxu was slightly disappointed and looked up at Lu Mingxuan. He was still in the same state as at the beginning, with no signs of waking up.

Jiang Chen and Lu Chiyuan walked in from behind. Jiang Chen greeted them first, saying, "Big brother."

Lu Chiyuan looked at Jiang Yu and observed his expression. He was about thirty years old, and his many years of working on the front line made him look a little serious.

When Jiang Chen greeted him, he forced a smile on his stern face and nodded slightly.

Lu Chiyuan figured out their relationship and followed Jiang Chen's words and called him "big brother".

He and Jiang Chen grew up together, and their relatives must have met countless times, so they shouldn't address each other in a strange way.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, no one questioned his address, and Jiang Chen even gave him a knowing look.

Jiang Yu was used to it and nodded, "When did you two arrive?"

"I just arrived a while ago and just came back from lunch." Jiang Chen replied, noticing that there was a fruit basket on the cabinet next to him. He knew without guessing that it was sent by Jiang Yu.

Lu Mingxuan and Lu Chiyuan have known each other for more than ten years, and have worked with him for more than a year or two. He has met many people from the Jiang family and the Lu family.

Jiang Yu had a good impression of him, and he should come and visit him both for official and private reasons.

"We intercepted Lu Mingxuan's car on the highway and caught the driver, but the driver was a designated driver who was paid to drive the car away. He didn't know what happened. We checked based on the information he provided and found that the order was placed by Lu Mingxuan himself. In other words, someone did this in his name."

Fortunately, everyone was there and they were not outsiders, so Jiang Yu told them about the progress of the matter.

There was nothing wrong with the driver himself, it was just a platform transaction, and he did not see Lu Mingxuan from beginning to end. The other party used the excuse that he was too drunk and unwell, and instructed him to take the keys and drive through his mobile phone.

Jiang Yu also checked the information about Chen Xingxu's ex-girlfriend provided by him. This clue is worth further investigation. As it involves the case handling information, Jiang Yu did not reveal too much.

"This group of people are doing this, if not for money or profit, what are they trying to achieve?" Chen Xingxu complained casually.

After Lu Mingxuan got into trouble, no one blackmailed him or kept him under guard. They just left him in an abandoned warehouse. It is really puzzling.

Jiang Yu didn't say anything, but just glanced at Lu Chiyuan. His professional intuition told him that the other party's ultimate target was not Lu Mingxuan.

Judging from the speed at which Jiang Chen provided him with information, they had an idea in mind.

Lu Chiyuan and Jiang Chen were both people who knew their limits, so Jiang Yu did not press the issue to get to the bottom of the matter.

He sat in the ward for a while and then left.

Not long after that, Xu Chen also stood up and said he wanted to go back. The three looked at him in surprise.

Chen Xingxu touched his prickly short hair and said, "You want to leave?"

The person who forced him to ask for Lu Mingxuan's whereabouts, has just sat there for how long and is about to leave?

Xu Chen said: "What else? I have to go to work tomorrow."

Xu Chen's tone was very calm. On the surface, he was just a friend visiting, and after visiting, he would naturally leave.

But the other three knew his friendship with Lu Mingxuan, so it was unreasonable for him to leave.

Xu Chen didn't care what they thought. He picked up his bag and clothes and stood up. He walked in front of Jiang Chen and said, "Chenchen, take me there."

Jiang Chen did not refuse, he followed Xu Chen out of the hospital building. Xu Chen's car was parked a little far away, about ten minutes away from the hospital.

The hospital is much quieter on weekends than at other times. There are few pedestrians on the road. Xu Chen and Jiang Chen just keep walking downstairs.

On the way, Xu Chen said, "Chenchen, don't you have anything to say to me?"

This was a vague statement, and Jiang Chen could only think of Lu Mingxuan. He said, "Lu Mingxuan's incident was most likely Gu Tingsen's doing. I initially thought he wanted to use Lu Mingxuan's safety to threaten me to give up the project, but now it seems that this matter has started well but ended badly, which makes it hard to understand."

Gu Tingsen arrested people and took photos, which was very threatening, but he never revealed his purpose.

Without a purpose, it would be difficult to verify other people's speculations about him.

"I know the project you're talking about. Gu Tingsen is having a hard time. Haven't you noticed that he's been keeping a low profile recently? The old man of the Gu family gave him an ultimatum. This project is his only chance to turn things around." Xu Chen sneered, "The old man can't control his lower body. He has more than one son, Gu Tingsen."

Putting aside the halo of fan fiction, the difficulties faced by Gu Tingsen are not only the business transformation, but also the chaotic power struggle in the Gu family.

As the face of the society, he seems to have a glorious life, but in fact, a single move can affect the entire body.

Fan fiction exaggerates his recklessness, which means that after things return to normal, the bad consequences of his recklessness will become his death warrant.

Regardless of whether Lu Mingxuan did this to fit the contract partner's plot or Gu Tingsen had other plans, it foreshadowed that he was forced into a corner and took a risky move.

Xu Chen has another relationship with him. Even if you don't pay special attention, you can still hear some rumors about him.

"If he is really pushed into a corner, he can really do anything."

The fan fiction and the original novel have grown and waned, and the current plot has changed with time. Jiang Chen doesn't dare to guarantee that he knows everything.

Xu Chen put his arm around his shoulders and sneered, "It's just a grasshopper in autumn, don't take it to heart. I didn't call you out for this."

Jiang Chen was stunned, and his mind was full of thoughts. There shouldn't be anything between him and Xu Chen that he needed to hide from others. They were friends who grew up together. Even if Xu Chen didn't remember the details of the past, he wouldn't be on guard against them.

Jiang Chen didn't say anything else. He turned his head to look at Xu Chen and waited for the next words.

He has a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes with a light color. When you look along the light, they have the clarity of amber and seem somewhat harmless.

Xu Chen was very familiar with his look. During the years when they grew up together, Jiang Chen was the one they all protected. If he made a mistake, or knew he had done something wrong, he would use this look to escape.

"Chenchen, how did we become like this?" Xu Chen asked.

Jiang Chen tilted his head: "Aren't we always like this?"

Xu Chen was helpless and said, "It's always like this? Am I a illegitimate child? Shouldn't the illegitimate child be Gu Tingsen? Why am I the one who can't be seen in public now? When did I allow Gu Tingsen to have any say in the Xu family's business?"

Xu Chen's voice was very calm, but in his calmness there was a sense of absurdity that went against the will of Heaven.

He was the legitimate son whose family was destroyed by Gu Tingsen's mother. He woke up from a dream and found himself the son of a mistress. The person who destroyed his parents' relationship turned out to be a wealthy lady. Her son had not only stolen his father, but now he was also reaching out to Xu's property.

Although Xu Chen had no feelings for the cheating bastard, only disgust, he shouldn't distort the facts like this.

What’s even worse is that he and Lu Mingxuan became friends.

What? Those years when they slept in the same bed were just pure brotherhood?

Xu Chen was completely confused, and Lu Mingxuan's accident deepened his confusion. He couldn't remember when things started to become so ridiculous.

He was really silent for a long time, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, before he allowed himself to accept this fact.

He came here to see Lu Mingxuan in order to resolve the doubts in his heart and kick that awkward secret love out of his life.

But things didn't go as planned...

While in the hospital, he vaguely discovered more things from the different attitudes of Chen Xingxu and Jiang Yu.

Chen Xingxu and Jiang Yu were little affected, and their conversation was familiar from normal memory.

The second is Jiang Chen, and Lu Chiyuan seems to be in between the two.

No matter how hard Xu Chen thought, he couldn't understand why Lu Chiyuan gave up Jiang Chen to take care of a non-blood-related adopted sister. In Xu Chen's eyes at this moment, all the things he had done in the past were simply obsession.

It is gratifying that even in that strange memory, Xu Chen did not approve of Lu Chiyuan's unconditional pampering of Shen Zhiyi.

The reason why he called Jiang Chen out and asked Jiang Chen to answer his questions was because when he was reviewing these things, he could feel that Jiang Chen was different.

He broke free from the vicious circle of maintaining his bodyguard persona at the beginning, became an assistant, saved Ling Qi, and pursued his career...

This is correct and matches the development of Xu Chen's memory, so Xu Chen guessed that he might have realized something was wrong earlier.

Jiang Chen was startled by Xu Chen's words. He looked at Xu Chen in doubt, trying to figure out whether his words were true or false.

"Brother Chen, have you remembered everything? Me, who am I?" Jiang Chen asked. His identity had changed the most and the gap was the most obvious.

Xu Chen frowned, thinking who else could it be? Of course it was their most tolerant younger brother. Could he really be a bodyguard?

Lu Chiyuan was under a spell, which is why he ordered Jiang Chen to be his bodyguard.

He was angry when Jiang Chen was injured during training before. He must be crazy to let Jiang Chen engage in such a dangerous job.

Xu Chen complained in his heart, but he soon realized what Jiang Chen meant. Jiang Chen asked him which identity he recognized. He said, "You are my brother who grew up under my watch. You and Lu Chiyuan are engaged, and Lu Mingxuan and I have agreed to be your best men."

After this was said, there was no need to question him further. Jiang Chen was certain that Xu Chen had broken free from the control of the world consciousness.

He was very surprised and happy: "When did you remember this?"

Xu Chen said: "After you told me about your relationship with the Jiang family, I gradually remembered a lot of things, but it was not very clear at that time. You really know what happened, what is the current situation?"

Xu Chen has been confused for too long and urgently needs someone to answer his questions.

Jiang Chen didn't rush to explain. He communicated with Xueqiu first: [Will Brother Chen be in danger if he knows the truth? Will the world consciousness target him? ]

Snowball said: [No, he is no longer controlled by the fan world.]

With Snowball's assurance, Jiang Chen felt much more at ease. After making sure Xu Chen was safe, he explained the current situation to him.

However, he did not reveal everything and carefully concealed the existence of Snowball.

Xu Chen was stunned by what he heard. If he hadn't experienced it himself and hadn't had an extra confused memory, he wouldn't have believed that there were such strange things in the world.

He pulled a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "She likes Gu Tingsen, but she doesn't like Gu Tingsen's background. She tries her best to confuse right and wrong. I think this person loves everything she imagines. Reality is not the utopia she created. Is he worthy of letting Gu Tingsen embezzle my property?"

Xu Chen has taken the time to liquidate his assets, and he is now going to take back everything that was taken away from him.

Seeing that he was determined to leave, Jiang Chen sent him to the car and reminded him worriedly: "Don't have a head-on conflict with Gu Tingsen."

Xu Chen smiled and said, "I'm not stupid."

Knowing that there was something strange about Gu Tingsen, it was even less likely that he would just rush up.

But Gu Tingsen's weirdness can only radiate to himself, and the people around him do not receive such treatment.

Xu Chen started the car, and before closing the window, he looked up at Jiang Chen, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Lu Mingxuan doesn't look like a simple coma. I suspect Gu Tingsen fed him banned drugs. Don't worry if he doesn't wake up. I will arrange for another doctor to come."

The Gu family's disgraceful background is used in both worlds. After Xu Chen regained his memory, he knew even more.

The Gu family has many gray industries. Among them, the special pharmaceutical industry base is not in the country, and the main consumers are not in the country. They only occasionally supply medicine to the family.

There were all kinds of medicines. Lu Chiyuan had been taken by them before and had forgotten everything about them afterwards.

The doctors here have not done any research on this banned drug, and the treatment plan is conservative, so Xu Chen has to find someone who can develop an antidote.

After seeing Xu Chen off, Jiang Chen stood in the parking lot for a long time. He asked Xueqiu, "Brother Chen remembered everything because of my identity. Can other people do the same?"

[I'm afraid it will be difficult.] Xueqiu explained, [We overlooked one thing before. In the early stage of the fan fiction, Xu Chen did not appear. But this is a good sign. The fan fiction world is collapsing.]

Xu Chen's plot is very late, he appears because Jiang Chen changed his fate. He became an assistant, and thus came into contact with Xu Chen, who has the same personality, and Xu Chen's appearance was advanced.

At this time, Xu Chen had no plot support and was little affected by the plot. All his actions were more like subjective will.

Of course, the reason he could remember it was because of Jiang Chen's repeated changes to the plot, which made his original appearance disappear, his story line collapsed, and he broke free from the plot.
