Chapter 89: Jinjiang Dufa Which Jiang Chen are you...

Gu Tingsen was reluctant to die, especially after he knew that he could have another life. Ambition drove out the desire to die and expanded his desires, and he began to have other plans.

The car was driving on a dark road. There were no lights on both sides. There were shadows of trees. The cold white headlights shone past, and the darkness advanced inch by inch, as if walking into hell step by step.

Gu Tingsen lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Chen, fiddling with the blade with his fingers. Darkness would amplify a person's senses, and memories of the past would haunt him like a ghost.

When he and Shen Zhiyi were in danger overseas, his memory was awakened and he learned the truth about this world.

Shen Zhiyi, who was supposed to be his helper, had no Lu family and no education, and was like a jumping clown, dragging him into the abyss.

Jiang Chen, who was rejected by the world, still firmly chose Lu Chiyuan, as if no matter how the world changed, he would stand by Lu Chiyuan.

He and Lu Chiyuan were like an inseparable whole.

Jealousy and anger almost made Gu Tingsen lose his mind. Now that he had broken away from the fate of the past, why couldn't Jiang Chen belong to him?

Gu Tingsen used Shen Zhiyi to plan this kidnapping. He also wanted to know how long the world standing beside him could last.

Jiang Chen woke up again and found himself lying on an iron bed with his right hand handcuffed to the head of the bed. The space he could move was very limited.

He sat up and observed the layout of the house. The room looked to be no more than 20 square meters, with simple furniture. The windows were old-fashioned wooden frame structures without guardrails. The white paint on the walls had turned yellow, perhaps because there were not many people living there. There were spider webs hanging in the corners, covered with a layer of dust.

Jiang Chen could see the whole room at a glance. There was no place for anyone to hide. The driver who kidnapped him sat on a chair at the door to catch up on his sleep, with his gun tied around his waist.

Gu Tingsen disappeared. Jiang Chen didn't know what happened to him after he fell into a coma, so he subconsciously asked Xueqiu.

[Qiuqiu, where is this place? ]

There was no response. Jiang Chen waited for a while and suddenly realized that the system that had been in his mind had disappeared and the light spot no longer existed.

He was stunned for a moment, then looked out the window.

The sun had risen high in the sky, but the temperature in the room was not high. There was no direct sunlight where he slept, and it was even a little cool.

This old house does not have a constant temperature device, nor does it have cooling methods such as air conditioning and fans. The only reason it is so cool in the hot summer is because of its unique geographical location.

Jiang Chen thought about the summer resorts around the city in his mind, and most of them did not have such an effect. His current location could only be farther away than those summer resorts.

Was he sent into the mountains?

Jiang Chen looked at the handcuffs, which were made of titanium alloy and locked tightly. His wrists had only struggled a few times when he woke up, and there were obvious red scratches on them.

There was no way he could open the handcuffs by brute force except for the key.

However, Jiang Chen soon noticed that the bed that fixed the handcuffs had a layer of rust on the iron railings, probably because it was so old, and the welding joints were not that strong.

Jiang Chen pulled it and felt an obvious pulling force. If the bed was dismantled, there would be a lot of noise.

Jiang Chen put aside his thoughts on the experiment and shook the handcuffs, making a loud noise, which woke up the sleeping driver.

"I want to see Gu Tingsen." Jiang Chen had a stern face and did not look happy.

The driver did not step forward to argue, but glanced at Jiang Chen, opened the door and walked out.

The sun was shining brightly outside the door. As far as Jiang Chen could see, there were large tracts of green plants and no useful information.

The driver didn't go far, and soon Gu Tingsen came in. He was wearing a silver-gray shirt with his cuffs rolled up at the elbows, revealing his tight forearm muscles.

He wasn't wearing a tie today, and the top two buttons of his shirt were undone, revealing a small area of ​​his chest.

As Gu Tingsen approached, Jiang Chen noticed that there were traces of gauze bandage on his chest and he was injured.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Chen looked at Gu Tingsen with dissatisfaction.

"It's a guarantee that we can sit down and have a good chat."

Gu Tingsen sat down on the stool in front of Jiang Chen. He reached out and picked up the handcuffs. He rubbed the red marks on Jiang Chen's wrists with his fingertips and said, "If the person who handcuffed you was Lu Chiyuan, would you still be so excited?"

"He's not as perverted as you." Jiang Chen broke free from Gu Tingsen's hand, "What do you want to do?"

Gu Tingsen did not answer. His eyes fell on Jiang Chen's face with a little inquiry and scrutiny.

After a while, he asked, "Which Jiang Chen are you?"

Jiang Chen frowned in confusion, his heart was filled with turmoil. He suppressed his emotions and asked, "What do you mean?"

Gu Tingsen fiddled with the watch on his hand, and a faint smile appeared on his sinister expression: "Jiang Chen, we were friends before. Now that it has come to this, wouldn't it be better to be honest?"

When Gu Tingsen mentioned the past, a subtle sense of uneasiness came to his mind, and Jiang Chen suddenly understood why Gu Tingsen had tied him up.

In fact, the grudge between him and Gu Tingsen is even deeper. From friends to enemies, there must be an irreparable rift between them.

In comparison, the feud between Gu Tingsen and Lu Chiyuan is more about business. When everyone competes, friction is inevitable.

Reality and fan fiction are completely different. After experiencing all these absurdities, Jiang Chen was not as excited as he had imagined when he met the original Gu Tingsen again.

He said, "You also said that was in the past. Am I still your friend now? No matter how I look at me, I look like a bargaining chip that you have tied up. You want to be honest? Then just tell me, what do you want from me?"

Jiang Chen didn't pretend and asked directly.

Gu Tingsen's face turned cold, and his voice was so cold that it seemed like ice chips were about to fall off: "Do we have to talk about interests between us?"

"Besides interests, what else can I talk to you about?" Jiang Chen sneered and said sarcastically, "Boss Gu, you are a noble man who forgets things easily! All along, including your approach to me, wasn't it all for interests?"

Jiang Chen is an extrovert, like a green plant growing in the wind, full of vitality. He has a good personality, is loyal, and has a good reputation in the circle. Even if people cannot make friends with him, they will not offend him easily. Whenever they meet someone who has something to do with him, they are willing to give him some face.

Gu Tingsen was attracted by his popularity and got in touch with him, but when the two of them became familiar with each other, he used Jiang Chen's favor to do business.

Jiang Chen treats him as a friend, and he treats Jiang Chen as a signboard.

Gu Tingsen obviously thought of this as well. He trembled his lips, wanting to refute Jiang Chen, but he couldn't find the right words to say.

Jiang Chen also remembered the past, and those unpleasant things were stuck in his heart.

The atmosphere between the two people suddenly became awkward.

The iron bed was a little too low, and Jiang Chen was not comfortable sitting on it, so he simply lay back down.

He leaned against the pillow, wanting to close his eyes and forget about what he was seeing, but the hunger he felt in his body made him change his mind.

He has not eaten or drunk anything since last night, and his physical energy is declining.

In the current situation, this is not a good thing.

Jiang Chen said: "I'm hungry, is there nothing to eat?"

Gu Tingsen got up and went out. After a while, he brought bread and water and threw them to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen checked the sealing of the item and made sure it was intact before opening it.

Gu Tingsen did not leave, but remained sitting aside. After sitting for a while, he spoke again: "Jiang Chen, can we start over?"

Jiang Chen sneered twice, as if asking Gu Tingsen why?

He used Jiang Chen's popularity to seek benefits for himself, but disappeared after his failure, leaving Jiang Chen to face the malice and harm without knowing it.

Jiang Chen still feels sick when he thinks about it now.

How can a person who has made a mistake just brush it off so easily, without even apologizing or waiting for others to forgive him, and just move on?

Jiang Chen finished his bread, drank half a bottle of water, thought for a while, and asked, "What did you do to Shen Zhiyi?"

Before Jiang Chen lost consciousness, Snowball said that Shen Zhiyi was in critical condition. Now that Snowball is gone, Jiang Chen guessed that Shen Zhiyi is in great danger.

"Why mention her? People like her who overestimate their own abilities will only bring disaster upon themselves no matter what the outcome." Gu Tingsen's tone was cold. He had no feelings for Shen Zhiyi and even felt angry about her. His brows were furrowed when he mentioned her.

He looked at Jiang Chen, and seeing that Jiang Chen looked annoyed, he sneered, "What? You're still sympathizing with a fake who robbed your life?"

In the story, Lu Chiyuan tolerates Shen Zhiyi everywhere. In addition to the author's attempt to reduce his personality, it is also because the world consciousness allows Shen Zhiyi to replace Jiang Chen's existence.

The feelings that Lu Chiyuan projected onto Shen Zhiyi, all the indulgence and acquiescence, were Jiang Chen’s privilege.

Jiang Chen did not sympathize with Shen Zhiyi, he was frightened by Gu Tingsen's cold-bloodedness.

Shen Zhiyi is the heroine who was born according to his needs. According to the original novel, she is his beloved wife because she helps him. Once the plot gets out of control, she will be abandoned by him.

"Gu Tingsen, no matter what kind of world it is, you only love yourself."

"If a person doesn't care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. What's wrong with me loving myself? Do I have to expect others to love me?"

Gu Tingsen didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He had also expected love, the love of his parents, relatives, friends, and even lovers, but in the end he found that all this love was fake.

Even this world, this so-called world created for him by the author is fake.

What's the point of giving him a woman who can't tell the difference between good and bad? Should he be grateful for her stupidity?

There is clearly a ready-made choice, and Jiang Chen should be given to him, which would satisfy both his desires and his ambitions.

But the author didn't. The author would rather go to great lengths to write a fool and let this fool replace Jiang Chen and become the one who is constantly indulged by Lu Chiyuan, rather than give him a shortcut.

After all, the author does not love him, but just loves the arrogance of fooling everyone and manipulating everything.

"Jiang Chen, not everyone is you, not even Lu Chiyuan. Shen Zhiyi is dead, and I let him take the blame in exchange for your safety. What do you think he will choose?"

Gu Tingsen stared at Jiang Chen with great interest, unwilling to miss the expression on his face. He wanted to see him panic, in pain and conflict.

But Jiang Chen was very calm, so calm that it seemed as if he was treating him like a fool.

The Lu family is wealthy and powerful. Lu Chiyuan must be crazy to do such a stupid thing. If he wants to take the blame, he would have searched the city countless times.

Although Jiang Chen is not in the city.

Not seeing Jiang Chen sad, Gu Tingsen's expression froze, and then anger and jealousy filled his chest: "Do you trust him so much?"

"I believe you." Jiang Chen said, "I believe you don't keep your word."

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Gu Tingsen's lips curled up slightly, but before the smile could stay on his face, it was suppressed by Jiang Chen's second half of the sentence.

He really hadn't thought about letting Jiang Chen go.

Jiang Chen is now the life-saving straw in his hand. As long as he can tame Jiang Chen and break up him and Lu Chiyuan, he can gain the support of the Jiang family.

By then, he will definitely be able to make a comeback.

"Jiang Chen, I know what you are thinking. But your hopes will be dashed. Lu Chiyuan can't find you."

Gu Tingsen is confident in the place he has chosen, and he has time to spend with Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen glanced at him and said nothing.

Gu Tingsen still didn't understand him well enough.

How could he be the kind of person who would just sit there and wait for death?
