Chapter 310 Same realization

Chapter 310 Same realization

Jun asked in disbelief, “…What happened here?”

The laptop lay broken on the floor with a glass jar shattered into pieces beside it.

“Oh dear!” Chen Liling covered her mouth.

Jun hastily walked towards Yubi and pulled her aside. “Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”

“…No,” Yubi burst into tears. “I am really sorry Bro. The laptop fell because of me…” she hung her head guilty, tears rolling down her cheeks. “I-I-“

Jun wiped her cheeks. “First, you stop crying. Your safety is more important. You are not hurt anywhere, right?”

“No…”

Yunru looked at her ankle and glared at her. “What do you mean not hurt? There are scratch marks on your leg from the glass shards.”

Chen Liling quickly said, “Oh god! I will bring the first aid kit quickly!”

After Jun quickly disinfected the blood and put a bandaid on her scar, he said, “All done. Thank God it’s not something major,” he sighed in relief, “What happened though?”

Yubi sniffled. “Sorry, Bro. I was searching for the drawer key, and I found it behind the laptop. I got excited and I bumped into the worker when I turned…Th-then my hand hit the laptop and it fell with the glass jar. I am sorry, Bro! The laptop was important-“

“Sshh. You don’t have to apologize. It’s not your fault,” Jun patted her head.

The worker bowed and profusely apologized. “I am sorry Mam! I just wanted to tell you that I was done stacking all the things in the box. But I didn’t know this accident would happen…I was careless and you got hurt! Please forgive me. You can cut off my wage if you like…”

Chen Liling said, “No, no. It’s okay. You didn’t do it on purpose.”

“Mam…”

“No. Do one thing. Take all the boxes outside.”

“Yes, mam.”

He quickly took the boxes and left.

Yubi cried. “Sorry, Bro. This laptop…”

Jun bent on his knee and picked the laptop dripping with water. Not only that, the screen had cracks in it too. It looked in a pitiful state.

“Will this get repaired? It could have information about what Bro knew…and I ruined it…”

Yunru pouted and gave her a tight squeeze of a hug. “You look ugly when you cry.”

“Broooo…” she looked at Jun with grievance.

Jun pinched her cheek. “Well, he is right. I don’t want an ugly cousin. Don’t worry about the laptop. Let’s give it to Chyou if she can do something about this. It’s not the end of the world, silly. I will still find the truth anyhow,” he chuckled.

Chen Liling hugged her. “Yes, dear. You are thinking too hard.”

Yunru nodded. “You already have limited brain cells. Don’t exhaust them.”

Yubi gritted her teeth and smacked him. “You are mean!”

Jun asked, “You take rest now. Oh and where is the key?”

“Key…” she looked left and right, “It must have fallen somewhere here when I bumped into him…”

“Got it,” Yunru found it near the bed.

Jun took the key from him and unlocked the drawer. He opened it to check inside, but it was empty. There wasn’t even a single sheet of paper inside.

“Ah? There’s nothing inside,” Yunru scratched his head.

Jun frowned.

Strange…

Yubi sighed. “I worked hard for nothing.”

Jun tilted his head. “No. If it was empty, then why was it locked?”

—

“My stomach feels so empty now,” Jin mumbled to himself, tired.

He had studied all of Zixin’s projects in detail until his eyes burned with fatigue, yet he didn’t get any conclusive results.

I cannot see anything suspicious in these projects. And on top of that…

Jin secretly shot deathly beams towards Ai, who had completely made herself at home right in Jin’s room. She even had his laptop on her lap as if it was her own.

Damn she fooled me!

“Give me back my laptop!” Jin snatched it away from her.

Ai furrowed her brows. “I am still reading.”

“Now you are not. Since you proved to be useless, you can leave now,” he sneered.

“How was I useless? I told you about MrPerfect.”

“And how is it relevant here? Bro Jun said that he is using the ID now, not Bro Zixin. The matter ends there itself. And Bro Zixin has a woman he likes, but we don’t know who. How does this help? Didn’t you say that Yunru said that he was going to confess to that woman?”

“Yes.”

“But nobody knew about it until he said it himself on that day to Aunt and the twins. If his own family got to know at the very end, naturally, that woman or anybody else would have no idea at all. Plus, it was meant to be a surprise. Also, even if she did know, so what? If she loved him back, she would accept him or else reject him. There is no need to orchestrate such a violent accident against him.”

Ai pursed her lips. She knew Jin made sense. She had only pointed out about MrPerfect to get to stay in the room anyway.

Jin scowled. “You only wanted a reason to stay here.”

“Of course, not. MrPerfect is or was related to Chen Zixin at one point, so you should know about it.”

“He just has a woman he likes who he hasn’t told anybody about. I don’t see how it can be deadly to him.”

Ai stared at him and remarked. “Jun also just had a woman he liked in his last life. We all know what deadly turn it took. Love is not always so simple.”

“…”

Jin smiled. “Except that I wasn’t really a rival to Bro Jun-“

He suddenly froze and so did Ai as a realization struck them simultaneously.

Jin straightened up and slowly said, “A rival…What if…What if Bro Zixin had a rival who knew that he would be confessing to that woman and wanted to stop him?”

Ai had exactly the same thought. She wondered. “Will he really try to kill him over that? He didn’t even know what her answer would be.”

Jin sneered. “If Bro Jun could point a gun at me over something I didn’t even do, then why cannot this rival do something similar? As you said, love is not always so simple. I think we need to know who this mystery woman is.”
