Chapter 248: Chapter 198 - The Man in the Solitary Confinement Room (Second update) _1

"This is the place." After leading Jing Chen to the private room where Jing Youlan was, the man turned and left as if he was escaping.

His heart was still pounding as he left.

That was Jing Chen! The awe-inspiring Jing Chen who was only talked about in legends! His presence was so intense that looking directly at him was daunting, and he didn’t even dare steal a glance.

He pushed the door open and entered the private room.

At this point, Xue Jianbing was the only one inside the private room, gloomily’ standing guard’ with no one else around.

He had thought that following Mu Lin and his team would be interesting, but instead, aside from being a gofer and a watchman, he seemed to have nothing else to do. Why did he have to be the one left to keep watch while everyone else is on the team?

Cough cough... Of course, he didn’t want to remember that nauseating interrogation at the police station.

"Ugh~" He still felt a bit sick to his stomach and could hardly eat his dinner. Xue Jianbing couldn’t help but wonder how Mu Lin seemed to enjoy her dinner so much. Was she really not affected at all?

Is she even a woman?

Just when Xue Jianbing was immersed in his thoughts, the door opened. He turned around with a dissatisfied expression only to be stunned.

"Jing... Jing Chen?" Why was he here all of a sudden? Wasn’t he supposed to be training in his unit now? Who was going to tell him why he was given this sudden ’surprise’?

Jing Chen scanned the room with his sharp eyes, but didn’t see his beloved Linlin. "Where is Linlin?" he asked indifferently.

Linlin? Xue Jianbing’s mind was filled with question marks before he suddenly realized that Jing Chen was referring to Mu Lin.

He had almost forgotten that in the eyes of the new recruits, Jing Chen and Mu Lin were an invincible pair.

Indeed, it was Jing Chen, with exotic tastes!

"Mu Lin and Jing Youlan went out to investigate the secret passage." Xue Jianbing said; "We learned from the informants today that this place is linked to drug dealers so..." He was just about to continue when he choked on his words.

Why was he explaining everything in such detail?! I thought this mission had nothing to do with Jing Chen?!

"So..."Jing Chen raised his eyebrow, "Go on."

Lowering his gaze as if in contemplation, he continued, "So...we came to investigate." That was basically it right! There was really nothing else.

Jing Chen nodded without saying a word. He sat down on the sofa by the side, fixed his gaze on the boxing match below, and waited silently for Mu Lin.

Nobody knew that Jing Chen actually...sneaked out today.

Yes, he had sneaked out in broad daylight.

Looking at Jing Chen whose eyes were already focused on the boxing match, Xue Jianbing felt like crying but had no tears.

Even though I wasn’t afraid of him (maybe), being alone with Jing Chen in the same private room still placed great pressure on me, right?

Mu Lin, Jing Youlan you stinky brat, come back now!

Oh god, I’m having trouble breathing...what do I do...

...

Meanwhile, Mu Lin, who was on the other side, of course wouldn’t be able to hear the inner cries of the young master from the Xue family. The two of them had already reached the door to the forbidden area mentioned by the man earlier.

"Without a key, how are we supposed to get in? Should we call that Xue guy over? He’s good at this kind of petty theft." Despite the situation, he found a way to insult someone while praising them.

Actually, Jing Youlan meant that tasks like lock-picking should be delegated to Xue Jianbing. That guy had always been skilled at opening various kinds of locks since he was a kid, even a toothpick could do the job. He was born to be a thief.

Tsk tsk tsk...And he even joined the army. Jing Youlan thought to himself.

Mu Lin, who hadn’t spoken, just stared at the door lock in front of her. Suddenly, she stepped forward and reached out her hand. With a ’click’, Jing Youlan was stunned as the door...opened.

He dropped his jaw, "Are you sure we found the right place?" Jing Youlan started doubting; a forbidden area, such a grand place, guard post, sophisticated password lock, at least locked the door! This this this this...what a joke!

The door was not locked at all!

Jing Youlan expressed, he might have accidentally expressed the wrong sentiment just now.

As they stepped into the room and subsequently closed the door behind them, everything fell into darkness.

Mu Lin walked forward slowly, her calm gaze filled with alertness.
