_1 Chu Jiayue got into the car angrily and saw Lin Chen holding his mobile phone.

Her face suddenly stiffened, and she looked embarrassed.

Lin Chen was her husband in the legal sense.

She was threatened by Sun Ye to sleep with him, and Lin Chen had overheard the conversation.

She couldn’t help but feel humiliated.

“Did you hear everything?”

Chu Jiayue’s voice was weak, as if she was guilty.

Lin Chen smiled slightly: “Yes, I’ll take care of the rest.

You just focus on your work.”

Originally, Lin Chen thought that Sun Ye was targeting Chuhe Group because of Gu Yuexi.

However, after listening to their conversation, he found out that the situation was more complicated.

There was someone behind Sun Ye.

Lin Chen naturally thought of Zhao Yiheng from the Aotian Group or the person hidden behind him.

The former was more likely since Zhao Yiheng was plotting against Chu Jiayue and hadn’t failed yet.

The person behind him had no reason to find someone else to get involved.

Tomorrow night, Lin Chen would go to the Zhao family, thoroughly solve their troubles, and take the opportunity to verify this inference.

If Zhao Yiheng was the one behind Sun Ye, would killing the monkey Zhao Yiheng and the chicken Sun Ye stop them?

Whether it was Zhao Yiheng or Gu Yuexi, both were related to him.

That’s why Lin Chen directly offered to help settle the matter.

Chu Jiayue’s eyes brightened, looking at Lin Chen with surprise: “Do you have a solution?”

Lin Chen said with a laugh: “I have some speculations, but I need to verify them first.

After tomorrow night, I might know how to solve the problem.”

Although Chu Jiayue didn’t know what Lin Chen could do to solve this problem, his calm smile made her feel extremely reassured.

“Thank you, this matter originally had nothing to do with you.”

Lin Chen chuckled, “How can it have nothing to do with me?

I haven’t received my ninety thousand commission yet.

If the company goes bankrupt, who will I ask for money?”

Chu Jiayue pursed her lips, “You’re just fooling me.”

She hadn’t interacted much with Lin Chen, but she was quite sure that Lin Chen didn’t care about the ninety thousand at all.

Previously, when she asked Lin Chen to choose a luxury car worth millions to give it to him in three months, he refused without hesitation.

Lin Chen said this to make her feel less guilty, to let her know that he was acting in his own interest.

Lin Chen smiled: “Let’s go home.”

Home?

For a moment, Chu Jiayue was a little lost in thought.

Does that count as their shared home?

Our home?

Chu Jiayue started the car and drove in silence.

When they reached the residential area, she didn’t go straight home but parked the car on the food street outside the community.

Lin Chen asked with curiosity, “Do you want to buy something?”

Chu Jiayue shook her head, “You haven’t had dinner yet, let me treat you.”

Realizing her intention, Lin Chen laughed: “You don’t have to go through all this trouble.

I can just make something at home, you know I’m good at cooking.”

Chu Jiayue insisted: “No, I’ll eat with you.

I’m not full yet.”

Since Chu Jiayue had already said so, Lin Chen didn’t refuse anymore.

“Hot pot, is that okay?”

“Yes.”

The two sat down at the hot pot restaurant.

Lin Chen didn’t bother being polite with Chu Jiayue and ordered a table full of dishes, along with ice-cold beer.

He then asked, “What do you want to drink?”

Chu Jiayue said, “I’ll have beer too.

Let’s leave the car here, and I’ll pick it up tomorrow.”

“Okay!”

Once the food arrived, they began to eat.

Chu Jiayue looked at Lin Chen across the table and suddenly asked, “You used to be a soldier, right?

Not a regular one though?”

Lin Chen smiled and didn’t hide it: “Yes, a special forces soldier.

I was in a special unit that carried out special operations, with a small number of members.

Ordinary people generally don’t know about our existence.”

Chu Jiayue realized why Lin Chen managed to get the jade earring with a hidden microphone.

That wasn’t something an ordinary person could do.

Lin Chen also had a certain temperament, an unflappable calmness even in the face of life and death.

“Are you very skilled?”

Lin Chen continued eating and laughed, “If you mean fighting, yes.”

Chu Jiayue’s eating was much more gentle, pleasing to the eye: “Can you talk about your past life?

If you don’t want to, you don’t have to.”

Lin Chen grabbed a beer bottle, poured himself a drink and said, “I was an orphan.

My master found me and raised me, taught me to fight, and taught me medical skills.

When I was 22, he tricked me into joining the special forces and stayed there for five years.

I recently retired and came back home.”

Lin Chen’s tone suddenly became agitated: “This old man was afraid that I would trouble him, so he disappeared, leaving only a letter saying that he had arranged a marriage for me.

He even took my salary card with him!

I almost didn’t have enough money to get to Pingjiang!”

Chu Jiayue couldn’t help but imagine Lin Chen looking around their empty room, full of grievances with nowhere to vent, and her lips curved into a smile, feeling unexplainably happy.

“I haven’t seen your master either.”

Chu Jiayue smiled: “It sounds like you had an interesting time together.”

Lin Chen snorted: “That lazy old man often left me alone at home when I was just a few years old.

He wasn’t even afraid that I would be taken away by wolves.

When he finally came back, he just lay on his chair, motionless.

I had to cook, clean, and make the bed for him.

He never made any money, and our lives were miserable.

This time, he left a message saying that he had taken some money from your grandpa when he was out of money, which kept us both fed.”
