4-35: Strange Events
Huai Yan sat up abruptly from the bed: "...Professor."
"No need to get up."
Jin Xiuchen handed the things in his hand to the servant, and then quickly stepped forward.
He gently put his arm around Huaiyan's shoulder, pulled him into his arms, and asked softly, "Is there anything that's bothering you?"
“No,” the young man shook his head, then wrapped his arms around the man’s waist. “…Professor, what are you doing here?”
Hearing Huaiyan say that everything was alright, Jin Xiuchen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
He gently stroked the boy's back and said softly, "You fainted in the classroom. The doctor said it was because you didn't get enough rest."
God knows how chaotic the scene was when Huaiyan fainted.
Some were offering help, others were calling for the teacher; the whole classroom was in complete chaos.
The forums are probably already in an uproar by now.
After all, just a few days ago, the forum broke the news that Huaiyan and Jiang Feng had broken up.
And now, at this crucial moment, something like this has happened again.
People on the forum can hardly help but think of other places.
For example, Huaiyan fainted in the classroom because Jiang Feng cheated on her; she fainted in the classroom again because she was so heartbroken that she cried day and night; she fainted in the classroom again because the other woman was her own brother...
Just thinking about Huai inkstones makes my blood boil.
He could already guess how many versions the people on the forum would create for him.
“But that class,” Huaiyan paused, her voice tinged with doubt, “wasn’t it yours?”
Jin Xiuchen's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't even show any extra reaction, which made it impossible for anyone to see through his act.
"Your deskmate called me."
Jin Xiuchen's voice was calm, but his tone unconsciously carried a hint of heartache, "How did you get yourself into this state?"
She fainted from exhaustion after only one night apart.
It can be inferred that the boy must have stayed up many nights and hadn't had a proper rest each day.
It just so happens that it broke out today.
Huaiyan's brow twitched slightly, and she replied softly, "I'm fine."
He definitely didn't get enough rest.
Since arriving in this world, he has been living in constant fear because of the Ghost King.
Whether he's sleeping at night or attending class during the day, the Ghost King could appear beside him at any time.
Men have become almost ubiquitous.
He completely intruded into Huaiyan's life, making their originally peaceful daily life no longer peaceful.
Occasionally, something strange would happen, and Huaiyan could only comfort herself by thinking that it must be another prank by the Ghost King.
"You call this nothing?" Jin Xiuchen's somewhat indifferent voice came from above the boy's head. "He's already fainted."
If someone hadn't called him, he probably would have been the last person to know about it.
The boy would definitely not tell him on his own initiative, so he would only find out the answer on the forum in the end.
“…Professor.” Huaiyan’s voice was somewhat muffled.
He nestled in the man's arms and whispered, "Are you angry?"
"Hmm." Jin Xiuchen's voice was calm, as if he were stating a fact in a straightforward manner. "You're angry."
Of course I'm angry.
He gets angry, and things always happen unexpectedly.
The man wished he could install a surveillance camera on the boy as well.
He not only wanted to know the boy's daily life, but also wanted to know everything about the boy's movements.
This has almost reached a pathological point.
But the man didn't notice.
Or perhaps he noticed it, but didn't care at all.
Only by firmly keeping the young in our grasp.
Only then could Jin Xiuchen feel even a sliver of peace of mind.
He has lost his youth far too many times.
It's also very clear that this will definitely not be the last time.

When Huaiyan went to check the forum, it was indeed in an uproar.
It was even more outrageous than he imagined, with various versions appearing all at once.
If Huaiyan hadn't known the reason, he himself would almost have believed it.
[OP | Crying Xuanxuan: Why did Professor Jin rush over immediately when Huai Shen fainted? Are they together?]
[1L: It's not impossible, but it's clear that Huai Shen is currently recovering from his injuries and they're probably not officially together yet.]
[2L: Upstairs, what healing phase? What did I miss this time? How dare you mess with me on this forum?]
[5L: Stupid. After the breakup, wouldn't it take Huai Shen a while to fully process it?]
[6L: This is the best time for Professor Jin to make his move...]
[10L: Question: Why did Huai Shen faint? Was it because of Jiang Feng?]
[11L: My boyfriend cheated on me, and the person he cheated with was my own younger brother. No one could accept that, right?]
[15L: Suddenly remembered a piece of literature about a sister-in-law.]
[14L: Sister-in-law, open the door, it's my brother. I'm not being weak, sister-in-law, it's just that seeing you and my brother together makes me feel so uncomfortable. Sister-in-law, my brother and I have the same face, if he can do it, why can't I? Sister-in-law, you can't be so biased. Sister-in-law, your dimples don't hold any alcohol, yet I'm drunk like a dog. Sister-in-law, what is it about my brother that I don't? Sister-in-law, don't tell my brother about last night. Sister-in-law, is my brother more capable or am I? Everyone says I'm not as good as my brother, I won't argue, but you can't say that, sister-in-law. Brother, don't misunderstand, sister-in-law has a cold uterus, and I happened to have a fever and wanted to try a folk remedy, so I put it in. Sister-in-law, don't turn around, it's my brother.]
[15L: That's enough, upstairs...]
[16L: Such deep gold...]
...
Huaiyan: "......" Are you crazy?!
After reading only half of it, Huaiyan immediately closed the laptop.
I wonder if Jin Xiuchen usually reads forums.
What would men think if they saw these posts?
Huaiyan felt too ashamed to go to school anymore.
I fainted once, and people will talk about it for months when I walk around school.
Especially...
[OP | Someone chuckled: It seems like Huai Shen is heartbroken and crying?]
[1L: Correct answer. 】
[2L: In this world, we only ever see the new faces laughing, never the old ones crying.]
[3L: I introduced you to my brother, and you actually... (BGM: For all the pain of clinging to love, for all the wounds of clinging to hate...)]
[5L: Huai Shen does look quite haggard lately, and seems to have lost some weight?]
[6L: It's okay, we'll wait for Professor Jin to avenge Huai Shen.]
[7L: Why does Jiang Feng like Huai Shen's younger brother?]
[8L: I think Lin Mu still retains her charm...]
[9L: You upstairs, you must be really hungry...]
...
Huai Yan's vision went black.
He knew some people would think he was heartbroken and burst into tears.
However, since everyone on the forum was saying their own thing, it didn't actually cause any real harm to Huai inkstones.
On the contrary, it was Jiang Feng.
When Huai Yan lost consciousness and was dragged into the space by the Ghost King.
Jiang Feng's father has been arrested.
This seems to be expected.
Jiang Feng's father also owns a company that is neither too big nor too small.
This company has been operating for several years and has already reached a considerable size.
Jiang Feng's father was arrested on charges of tax evasion, involvement in organized crime, and money laundering.
It is said that their home was also raided.
However, this is only a very small part of the Huaiyan project.
The biggest crime committed by Jiang Feng and his father is not this.
Rather, they were involved in cases of illegal imprisonment resulting in death.
Generally, cases of illegal imprisonment resulting in death usually involve a minimum of ten years.
If Jiang Feng really did go to jail for ten years, he would actually be alright when he came out.
Jiang Feng is now about twenty-three years old.
Huaiyan did the math: if Jiang Feng serves ten years in prison, he will only be 34 years old when he gets out.
At 34, you're not at the end of your rope yet. If you work hard enough, you can still achieve great things.
But would Huaiyan be so kind?
Won't.
He had already asked Huaiyi to make connections in prison beforehand.
However, based on the current progress, the police have not yet discovered another case.
According to 073's calculations, the incident occurred within the last two days.
After Jin Xiuchen returned home, Huaiyan changed her clothes and went to the hospital again.
Lin Mu should be able to be discharged from the hospital in another half month.
However, Huaiyan's visit to Lin Mu at the hospital was naturally not out of concern.
He was just trying to confirm one thing.
Once this is understood, this dimension holds the key to solving the mystery.
After the car arrived at the hospital, Huai Yan went straight into the inpatient department.
He originally intended to go directly into the ward.
But before I went in, I saw a familiar figure again.
It's Jiang Feng.
Why is Jiang Feng at the hospital again? Does he have nowhere else to go?
“He really has nowhere to go,” 073 said quietly. “Hasn’t his father’s assets already been investigated?”
Huai Yan paused in his movements.
He had forgotten about that.
But that's alright, Huaiyan only needs to observe Lin Mu from a distance.
He slowly approached the ward door and heard Lin Mujiao's charming voice.
"Brother Feng." Lin Mu's eyes were brimming with tears, almost on the verge of sobbing. "You're finally here. I've been scared to death these past few days..."
Jiang Feng's tone, however, was somewhat impatient.
He frowned and asked, "What exactly happened? Why have you been urging me to come over? Is there some kind of ghost story?"
Lin Mu was oblivious; he didn't notice the impatience in Jiang Feng's tone at all.
He lay weakly in Jiang Feng's arms, looking somewhat sickly.
"It was...it was the bathroom..." Lin Mu's voice choked, her eyes reddened, and she said tremblingly, "Last night, I heard a baby crying in the bathroom..."
Jiang Feng's body stiffened.
Then, as if comforting himself, he reassured Lin Mu, "Where did all these ghosts come from? It's normal for there to be babies in the inpatient ward."
To everyone's surprise, Lin Mu cried even more miserably.
He screamed, "But I asked the nurse!"
There are no babies on this floor!
