Rebirth: I Am Not the Movie Queen This Time-Chapter 139 Interrupt

Looking at the three insignificant thugs lying on the ground, Jiang Kechu’s face was as dark as it could get. Chen Ke beside him held his breath, not daring to move an inch, as the boss was now furiously enraged, and he didn’t want to be turned into a scapegoat.

"Take them away, find out what happened, and then throw them to the police station, burglary."

"Yes."

Chen Ke let out a sigh of relief and quickly dragged the people outside.

The next day, Wan Chu’er woke up feeling dizzy. She turned her head and saw Jiang Kechu lying beside her, still deep in sleep.

Looking at Jiang Kechu sleeping so soundly, Wan Chu’er suddenly became furious, reaching out to push him, about to shout, "Jiang Kechu, you sneaked into my bed again while I was asleep!"

Suddenly, her gaze flickered to the black and white wardrobe beside her, and she snapped back to reality, stuffing the words back into her mouth.

She had already lived once again; this time she hadn’t married Jiang Kechu, and she couldn’t yell at Jiang Kechu like she did in her previous life.

Then she remembered what happened last night. Yes, she was almost in trouble last night, and it was Jiang Kechu who saved her. Jiang Kechu must be exhausted, which is why he lied down here and fell asleep.

Wan Chu’er sheepishly withdrew her hand, just about to sneak out of the bed and slip out of the bedroom when Jiang Kechu woke up.

"What’s wrong?" Jiang Kechu was groggy for a few seconds, and then his eyes cleared up, looking anxiously at Wan Chu’er.

She had actually wake him up, feeling a bit embarrassed, she said: "It’s nothing, nothing, you go back to sleep, I’m going to wash up, sorry for waking you."

After saying this, she blinked and came back to her senses, why would Jiang Kechu be lying on her bed sleeping?

And so brazenly!

They were not at the stage of sharing a bed yet!

Wan Chu’er bounced out of bed, hands on her hips, and glared angrily at Jiang Kechu, "Why are you sleeping next to me? You could sleep on the sofa outside."

Jiang Kechu secretly chuckled to himself inside; the girl had finally realized it. Thankfully, she wasn’t as furious as he had imagined.

In fact, he wasn’t asleep at all. After dealing with matters it was already past four in the morning, and he wasn’t sleepy at all, so not only did he lie beside her, he even held her and watched her sleeping face for several hours. Just before she was about to wake up, he pretended to be asleep.

If she knew this, who knows how furious she would be.

With these thoughts in his mind, Jiang Kechu maintained a calm face but asked with concern, "How are you feeling? Have your strength recovered? Is there still anywhere that feels uncomfortable?"

Wan Chu’er looked at Jiang Kechu suspiciously, unsure if he was trying to divert the topic or genuinely concerned about her.

After thinking for a moment, she swung her arms and replied, "My strength has recovered, it’s just my head still feels a bit heavy."

Hearing her words, Jiang Kechu appeared to sigh with relief and said, "That’s good, it’s a normal reaction. Just rest some more."

"Last night, besides Li Gang, three clumsy thieves came with ill intentions, but fortunately, I was here and dealt with them. I was worried that you had gotten into trouble with someone else outside, fearing that more people would come to bother you, so I didn’t dare to leave.

The sofa outside could work for sleeping, but what if I slept too soundly and someone skilled didn’t go through the living room but instead climbed directly through the window into the bedroom? So, to ensure your safety, I had no choice but to lie in your bed.

Don’t worry, your bed is quite big, I made sure not to touch you."

Wan Chu’er, stunned by Jiang Kechu’s words, seemed to recall seeing three sleazy figures before she fell asleep, one of them seemed to have said something.

What did they say?

Wan Chu’er frowned and tried hard to remember, but couldn’t recall at all.

Who were these three people again?

"Uncle Jiang, who are those three clumsy thieves you mentioned? How did they find me here?"

Jiang Kechu’s mouth showed an almost imperceptible smile, and he seriously said, "Around dawn, I interrogated them briefly. Someone hired them to teach you a lesson; they were from out of town. We’re still looking into who the employer is. There should be some results today."

Wan Chu’er was even more confused. Out of town? Besides the people she knew in Wutong County, there was only Beijing. Could it be Zhuo Yao and Liu Li from Wutong County?

That seemed unlikely. Zhuo Yao might engage in some petty tricks, but this act of hiring thugs seemed beyond her; as for Liu Li, Xiao Bai had told her that Liu Li’s life was mired in a quagmire, and she surely wouldn’t have the energy to bother her again.

Then who could it be?

"Which place? Wutong County?" Wan Chu’er still asked Jiang Kechu.

Jiang Kechu shook his head and said, "Province Z."

Province Z? Wan Chu’er immediately thought of Ma Tianjiao, whose family was from Province Z. Considering the deep grudge Ma Tianjiao held against her, this matter was very likely related to her.

Seeing the expression on Wan Chu’er’s face, Jiang Kechu asked, "What do you know?"

Wan Chu’er, with a slight "Huh?", replied, "I don’t know." Her wide eyes conveyed an utterly innocent expression.

Unfortunately for her, Jiang Kechu, a seasoned officer, was not easily fooled by such tricks. Amused, he said, "It’s alright if you don’t know. I have already arranged for people to investigate further. With some effort, the truth should emerge soon."

’The effort’, these words weighed on Wan Chu’er’s conscience, forcing her to grit her teeth and say, "It might be related to my roommate, Ma Tianjiao. We’ve never gotten along, and her family is from Province Z."

Jiang Kechu nodded, his eyes twinkling with mirth.

Little girl, trying those tricks on me.

Distracted by this exchange, Wan Chu’er was now wholly preoccupied with thoughts of Ma Tianjiao, forgetting her prior irritation with Jiang Kechu for sleeping beside her.

Absentmindedly brushing her teeth and washing her face, she pondered how to confront Ma Tianjiao at school on Monday.

While washing her face, she remembered that disgusting guy, Li Gang, who had touched her the day before.

She turned off the tap, closed the door, and began to strip for a shower.

She scrubbed herself intensely, almost peeling a layer of skin off, which somewhat eased her mind.

When it was time to dress, Wan Chu’er couldn’t help but slap herself.

How could she be so scatterbrained this morning and not prepare her clothes to change into!

The clothes she had taken off earlier were out of the question; she even planned to throw them in the trash later, as just thinking about them made her skin crawl.

After hesitating in the bathroom for a while, she clenched her teeth and called out to Jiang Kechu outside.

"Uncle Jiang, are you there?"

Jiang Kechu, who was cooking in the kitchen and watching the bubbles in the Xiao Mi porridge, suddenly heard Wan Chu’er calling him from outside.

"What’s up?"

Wan Chu’er: "...Um... Could you help me get two pieces of clothing from the wardrobe in the bedroom, a t-shirt and a pair of pants will do. Anything is fine."

Jiang Kechu paused for a moment, then quickly realized that the girl must have forgotten to take her clothes for changing before the shower.

The aftereffects of Flunitrazepam can cause short-term memory issues.

He hummed a response and went to retrieve the clothes from the bedroom wardrobe.

Following Wan Chu’er’s instructions, he picked a t-shirt and pants and was about to take them to the bathroom when he suddenly stopped, feeling something was off.
