The Villain Slaps The Protagonist’s Halo - Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Love is a Green Light

Going home? The old residence of the Shi family?

Nie Jia's brows furrowed slightly. Shi Chen and Shi Lao were not close, and Shi Chen only returned to the country to look after business. He practically avoided going home whenever he could. Why go home?

Nie Jia didn't press on and, with a brief response, immediately set aside his work and left the company with Ye Ying.

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Lin Haoran stared at a stack of documents in his hands, detailing various actions taken by Shi Yiyuan against Nie Jia when they were still together. The information was more extensive than what Nie Jia had mentioned in the morning, further fueling Lin Haoran's anger.

What Shi Yiyuan did was not just troublesome; it was dangerous. She nearly cut off Nie Jia's hand to make him leave. At that time, Lin Haoran was kept in the dark while being confined at home.

His mother, Shi Yiyuan, had forced Nie Jia to leave.

This sudden revelation hit Lin Haoran hard, making his heart ache. Reflecting on his actions towards Nie Jia over the past two years, he wished he could give himself a good beating. Why hadn't Nie Jia punched him to death?

Throwing the documents aside, Lin Haoran endured the intense emotions for a while before gritting his teeth and asking, "Where is Nie Jia now?"

"He was in the company just now, preparing for a new project," a man with sunglasses, standing nearby, spoke. "By the way, there's something you should know, Young Master Sun."

Lin Haoran stood up, putting on his coat, preparing to go to Sejia Media to talk to Nie Jia. Impatiently, he looked at the man and asked, "What is it?"

"Nie Jia left with Shi Chen last night and went back to his apartment in South Bay. He came out only this morning. Also, you saw Ye Ying this morning. She's with Shi Chen. Nie Jia, who was in the company a moment ago, is no longer there. He went with Ye Ying to South Bay to find Shi Chen," the man stated matter-of-factly.

Lin Haoran's expression stiffened. He hadn't expected his uncle to be involved in all this!

"What do you mean?" Lin Haoran suppressed his anger.

"I mean, Nie Jia has dumped you," the man, She Yun, said emotionlessly. "Give up, don't continue to disappoint Shi Lao. I have other matters to attend to; I'm leaving."

Without bothering to deal with Lin Haoran any further, She Yun left.

Lin Haoran knew exactly what She Yun meant. She Yun was from his grandfather's side, never making mistakes or speaking wrongly...

So, Nie Jia...

"Haoran!" The door to the ward was pushed open again, and a young man with a bandage around his head bounced in. Seeing Lin Haoran's furious expression by the window, he walked over and slapped him on the shoulder, asking, "What are you doing? Where's Nie Jia? It's been a whole day; where is he? You're not going to let me take a beating for nothing, are you?"

Lin Haoran shook off his friend Fei Ying's hand, chest heaving violently, and a fierce look in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Fei Ying was taken aback by his expression.

"Nie Jia ran away with someone, damn it!" Lin Haoran roared, trembling with anger.

"Ran... ran away with whom?" Fei Ying said, "Everyone in Qin City knows that Nie Jia is yours. Who dares to snatch your person?"

"I'm curious too. Who gave him the guts to compete with me?" Lin Haoran kicked over a chair beside him, angrily storming out. Ignoring the pain in his recently treated arm, he ran down the hospital corridor, with Fei Ying unable to catch up.

On the other side, after Nie Jia and Ye Ying returned, they saw Shi Chen talking on the phone by the French windows.

Busy all morning and mentally exhausted, Nie Jia looked at Shi Chen's back with just one glance and immediately behaved.

He walked over and hugged Shi Chen from behind, resting his cheek against his shoulder. Shi Chen was wearing a shirt, and the warmth from his body immediately seeped through the fabric, comforting Nie Jia.

Shi Chen smiled, patting Nie Jia's head. He then held Nie Jia's waist, briefly spoke on the phone, and hung up.

"Hungry?" Shi Chen, with one arm around Nie Jia's neck, lowered his head to kiss his temple.

Tiredly nodding, Nie Jia looked at Shi Chen and asked, "Why suddenly go back? What for?"

"Taking you to meet my parents," Shi Chen said, leading Nie Jia towards the dining room.

"I don't want to see your father," Nie Jia frowned. He deliberately made things difficult for Shi Chen everywhere. Nie Jia wanted to wipe him out first.

Shi Chen chuckled, pressing Nie Jia into a seat. "Don't see him."

With her hands behind her, Ye Ying asked, "Boss, does that mean Madam woke up?"

"Just woke up," Shi Chen said. Seeing Nie Jia's slightly stunned expression, he added gently, "Taking you to meet my mom. She's not well, often in a coma. This time, she's been unconscious for over two months."

Nie Jia was indeed stunned. This didn't match the information he had received about the world.

According to the data in this world, Shi Chen's wife had already passed away, and Shi Chen didn't have a mother!

【KK, what's going on?】 Nie Jia absentmindedly ate the food that Shi Chen had placed in his bowl.

KK stammered,【I'm not entirely sure... my information database was loaded initially. Any deviation now might be because Director himself altered some data, trying to change some existing data that is unfavorable to you. There may be other discrepancies elsewhere, but since the Director did it, you don't have to worry too much.】

Nie Jia looked up and saw Shi Chen staring at him.

"What's wrong? Feeling unwell?" Shi Chen, seeing him suddenly blush, was surprised.

Nie Jia forced a smile. "No, just got a bit dizzy from the heat."

Not only in the cyclic flow of dynamic data, but even in the present world, Shi Chen was doing everything possible to rescue him as quickly as possible.

But since Shi Chen was so cautious, avoiding conflicts with the public prosecution team as much as possible, it meant that Shi Chen didn't have enough evidence to prove his innocence. Otherwise, there was no need to endure and go to such lengths. Even without evidence, Shi Chen was willing to risk being dismissed and investigated, trying his best to rescue him.

What drove him to take such risks?

You don't even know if I really killed the person. Just because you love me, are you willing to believe I'm innocent?

Nie Jia suddenly felt a little uneasy.

After having a simple lunch with Shi Chen, the two prepared to go to Shi's old residence. Ye Ying deliberately tucked Shi Chen's allergy medicine in his pocket, fearing that Shi Lao would call

the boss over and give him a rash.

Just as they exited the elevator, they saw someone rushing towards them in the lobby, radiating obvious anger.

"Nie Jia!" Lin Haoran, sweating profusely and not knowing where he came from, looked disheveled. Supporting himself on his knees, he panted heavily, glaring at Nie Jia and saying, "Come back with me."

Ye Ying was about to step forward, but Shi Chen raised his hand to stop her.

Shi Chen, with dark and indifferent eyes, looked at the panting Lin Haoran and said coolly, "He has already broken up with you. I don't want you to continue bothering him."

Nie Jia and Shi Chen stood together, holding hands. They hadn't expected Lin Haoran to come directly to Shi Chen. Instantly, a displeased look flashed in their eyes.

Lin Haoran glanced at Shi Chen, not intending to waste words with him. Finally catching his breath, he straightened up and reached out to Nie Jia, saying, "Nie Jia, come back with me. I know everything now, and I know I was wrong. Let's talk it out, okay?"

"Get lost." One word, uttered by Nie Jia with biting coldness between his teeth.

"Nie Jia!" Lin Haoran's eyes turned crimson, and a hint of anger surfaced. Seeing his lover holding hands with his uncle, his anger flared up. Despite knowing he was at fault, he tried to suppress his temper and said, "I haven't agreed to what you said before. I don't agree to the breakup! Come with me; let's talk."

"Jia Jia broke up with you, and it doesn't need your agreement," Shi Chen said softly, with a tone of disdain. He released Nie Jia's hand, instead, put his arm around Nie Jia's waist, protecting him, and walked away.

"Jia Jia?!" Passing by, Lin Haoran suddenly turned his head, uncontrollably roared angrily, "Are you provoking me? Giving my boyfriend a nickname like a woman's to insult him, to declare your dominance?"

Nie Jia and Shi Chen stopped, and Lin Haoran approached. Leaning menacingly close to Shi Chen's ear, he whispered, "Shi Chen, don't think my people are detained by the French side. My grandfather is asking for your help. It's just because you still have a bit of utility that he's seeking your assistance. Don't overestimate yourself. If I'm in a good mood, I can call you uncle. If I'm not, tomorrow, I can let your body sink into South Bay Lake. Now, immediately take your hands off Nie Jia!"

With a thud, Shi Chen's hand did loosen from Nie Jia, but it was because Nie Jia suddenly rushed out. He grabbed Lin Haoran's collar, slammed him against the wall with a dull, muffled sound, drawing the attention of passersby in the lobby.

"Whose body did you say would sink into the lake?" Nie Jia clenched Lin Haoran's shirt, his fist pressing hard against his throat. His eyes, once as light as the pale gold sun, now looked cold and dark, like a pitch-black abyss, staring at Lin Haoran.
