Welcome to "I'm Trapped in the Same Day for a Thousand Years," exclusively produced by Feilu Novel Network, narrated by Sang Ze Wang Xiaomo Lao He.
Jiang Chuan knew very well that he might not be able to beat Wu Chen. The photo of the elevator that Wu Chen had sent him had shocked him. He couldn't believe that a human could do such a thing— Seven Kills against one, only to be wiped out by one person.
So, when Jiang Chuan spoke with the Old Blade priest later, the Old Blade mentioned that he had almost injured Li Ruobing. This made Jiang Chuan realize that Wu Chen hadn't taken down Old Blade and the others alone; Li Ruobing had arrived with her men in time, making the attack more complicated. The photos of the situation in the elevator were likely fabricated. Even so, Wu Chen, as the primary target, was unharmed. No matter how you look at it, Wu Chen must possess extremely high individual combat skills. Therefore, Jiang Chuan could judge that Wu Chen was very powerful. The fact that he dared to send others out and face Jiang Chuan alone with a knife also proved this point; otherwise, he would be courting death.
Jiang Chuan didn't know if he could beat Wu Chen, but he still had to try. He had no other choice; there was no way out. He had to give it a shot.
Even if you know you can't do it, you still have to go for it when you're in dire straits, especially since everything is just speculation and it might not actually be impossible.
The knife was still hanging towards the ground when Jiang Chuan kicked it. He was a professional; his kick was incredibly powerful.
Wu Chen's gaze was not drawn to the fallen knife. The instant Jiang Chuan raised his foot, he also moved, raising his foot as well.
Although the two raised their feet one after the other, Wu Chen was faster, and in an instant, they were kicking each other.
But then there was a loud bang, and Jiang Chuan suddenly pulled his leg back, his body tilted to the side, and he was kicked by Wu Chen until his knee bent.
Wu Chen's reactions, awareness, and control all directly created a very terrifying feeling for Jiang Chuan.
But Jiang Chuan did not give up easily. In the instant his body tilted, he swung a heavy punch at Wu Chen's chin. Wu Chen raised his hand and slapped him back!
Snap!
A resounding slap!
Jiang Chuan swayed, and in the swaying motion, he raised his knee to try and hit Wu Chen in the chest. Wu Chen swung his hand and slashed downwards, striking Jiang Chuan's inner thigh first, and then turned around and slammed his knee upwards into Jiang Chuan's abdomen.
Jiang Chuan was jolted back by the blow and swiftly chopped Wu Chen's neck with his hand. Wu Chen grabbed Jiang Chuan's wrist and twisted it sharply.
Ah!
Jiang Chuan screamed and knelt down in front of Wu Chen with a thud.
He had no choice but to kneel. Wu Chen twisted his arm at the correct angle, and if he didn't kneel, Wu Chen would break his arm. Only by bending his body downwards could he alleviate the pain.
His knees had been hit hard, and he couldn't withstand the force anymore.
Everything sounds complicated, but it actually happened in a very short time.
From the moment Jiang Chuan suddenly kicked Wu Chen to the moment Wu Chen forced him to his knees by the wrist, only a few seconds passed.
Every time he attacked, Wu Chen would fight back and beat him up.
Jiang Chuan is still very tough; he can withstand a lot of blows.
Wu Chen fought back several times, and he neither retreated nor was he knocked down, but in the end, Wu Chen still managed to force him to his knees by pulling his arm.
Ultimately, she's getting on in years, over 40, and past her prime.
In terms of fighting ability alone, there is a significant gap between him and Wu Chen, not to mention Wu Chen's abnormal reflexes and awareness.
Jiang Chuan's screams were heard by the three trusted confidants of the Old Blade in the living room outside, but they did not rush into the bedroom because the screams were Jiang Chuan's.
Wu Chen loosened the handkerchief slightly.
Jiang Chuan stopped yelling, but he didn't struggle or attempt to attack Wu Chen again.
He realized that he had no chance against Wu Chen, so Wu Chen let go.
Give them all to me.
Wu Chen spoke again.
Jiang Chuan rubbed his right shoulder and elbow with his left hand, having heard Wu Chen's words.
He glanced at the dagger he was holding on the ground, right next to him.
He picked up the knife and handed it to Wu Chen again.
This time, Jiang Chuan didn't play any tricks; he handed over the weapon that could give him a sense of security and his last resort.
Wu Chen took the dagger, examined it for a moment, then looked at Jiang Chuan and smiled, saying, "You're lucky you left yourself some room to maneuver."
Jiang Chuan did leave himself some leeway, which is that he didn't attack Wu Chen with a knife, but instead used his fists and feet. The concept of using a knife is completely different.
Jiang Chuan was unsure whether he could defeat Wu Chen, nor whether Wu Chen was carrying a gun, so he didn't use a knife.
If he loses with a knife, Wu Chen might just kill him.
I know what you fear is the Ding Family and the Li Family. Whether it's Ding Runlong or Li Ruotai, they both want you dead right now.
Wu Chen spoke again, and at the same time turned around and started pacing away.
In reality, many things are not as you imagine them to be.
As Wu Chen spoke, he passed by the cabinet on the wall, casually stuck the dagger into it, then reached out, pulled a chair on the other side, turned around, and sat down.
Wu Zhen crossed her legs and smiled at Jiang Chuan.
Let's look at it another way. Even though you don't want to die, you feel that you are doomed, so even if you die, you want to make your death meaningful, such as protecting your family.
Wu Chen smiled as he spoke, paused for a moment, and then added, "In reality, nothing is inevitable."
Meanwhile, in the living room, the burly man with broad shoulders and the fair-skinned man with glasses were both sitting on the sofa, talking in hushed tones, while the thin man paced back and forth in front of the sofa.
The three of them glanced at the bedroom door every now and then, but none of them dared to eavesdrop, because the Old Blade had told them on the phone that they knew this young man named Wu Chen was the old Old Blade's current boss, that is, the old Daoist's older brother.
The Old Blade had repeatedly reminded them that Wu Chen was no ordinary person, and they knew their elder brother well.
So the Old Blade's words could be said to have frightened them, and they now hold Wu Chen in awe.
So although they were curious and wanted to know what Wu Chen and Jiang Chuan would talk about, they didn't dare to eavesdrop, and it was unnecessary.
Twenty minutes later, the bedroom door opened, and Wu Chen came out, followed by Jiang Chuan, whose expression was complicated and who looked preoccupied.
Wu Chen's hand was particularly heavy; Jiang Chuan's face is still swollen on one side.
Mr. Wu and the others stood up and told Wu Chen that they would stay here for the time being, and that Old Blade would inform them later that they would be moved to another place.
Wu Chen, with one hand in his pocket, glanced at Jiang Chuan and gestured that he didn't need to be tied up anymore and that he shouldn't be hit.
Okay, Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu, don't worry.
The skinny man and the man with glasses quickly agreed, and Wu Chen didn't say anything more.
They left, and no one knows what Wu Chen and Jiang Chuan were talking about.
After Wu Chen left, Jiang Chuan's attitude was also strange. He went back to his bedroom without saying a word and closed the door.
The thin man saw Wu Chen off, then returned and asked a question before pushing open the bedroom door.
Looking out the window, I saw Jiang Chuan sitting in his chair, still silent and preoccupied.
When he saw someone come in, he only glanced at them before continuing to stare blankly into thought, his expression shifting between excitement, dejection, and a hint of anticipation.
Wu Chen went downstairs, got into his car, and after settling in, he first called Zhuang Xiaodie before driving off.
Nineteen minutes later, at 4:36 PM, at the Manyin Bar on Jingyang Avenue near the Clothing City in West District.
A quiet bar is a bar that features light music, is relatively quiet, and is suitable for friends to chat and discuss business.
Wu Chen parked his Lamborghini on the roadside outside the Manying Bar, went inside, and found a seat near a corner on the south side.
The bartender came over immediately, Wu Chen said that his new friend didn't have anything to offer.
A few minutes later, at exactly 4:39 PM, a man and a woman entered the bar hand in hand. The man was wearing a baseball cap, and the woman was wearing a mask. Their attire gave off a mysterious vibe, as if they were afraid of being recognized.
The two looked very close, like a married couple.
At this moment, Wu Chen took out his phone and started recording a video. He then placed the phone against one of the candle-shaped decorative lamps on each table, slightly offset from the lamp. The phone's camera was angled towards the corner where the man and woman, who were close relatives, paused, looked around, and then walked over to Wu Chen sat down in the corner next to him.
The bar was dimly lit; most bars have this style of decor. It's not that there are no windows, but rather that any windows are sealed off.
Insulating the area from street noise is one aspect, but creating a quiet and dimly lit environment is another.
The surrounding walls are decorated with many glowing ornaments, and the overall lighting is dim and yellowish. It's not completely dark yet, but in this quiet bar, you can't see the sunlight coming through the windows, giving you the feeling that it's already night and you can relax and enjoy music here.
Because of the time constraints, there weren't many customers in the bar yet. The very large space was divided into different areas by the arrangement of booths.
The man and woman sat down in two booths next to Wu Chen, separated by an aisle, but they weren't actually that far apart; Wu Chen's phone was only about two meters away from them.
The recording range was quite large, but neither of them noticed anything special on Wu Chen's table. The lighting and the fact that each table had items like candle decorations, decorative lamps, soundproof screens, clocks, and ashtrays, and that the untouched items were grouped together, made it easy to spot the important items at a glance.
Wu Chen's phone was mostly obscured by the decorative lights. Of course, if you looked closely, you could see a phone leaning against the lights, but no one would bother to look closely at what was on the next table; it was hard to notice directly.
The man and woman didn't pay much attention to Wu Chen, let alone notice that there was just a young man drinking at the bar on Wu Chen's table, nothing special.
Wu Zhen knew they wouldn't notice.
After the man and woman sat down facing each other, the man took off his baseball cap and casually tossed it onto the table.
He was a middle-aged man with short hair, in his forties, and fairly good-looking.
The woman also took off her mask. She looked to be around 40 years old, quite attractive, and heavily made up. She was much prettier than the average middle-aged woman, and had a refined air about her.
Both men appeared to be very wealthy; the man wore an expensive watch worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and his suit also looked custom-made.
The woman was adorned with jewels, wearing a dazzling diamond ring.
What would you like to drink?
The man asked.
You order, shall I?
The Way of Women.
Without the two of them even needing to ask, Qingba, the waiter, came over.
After picking up the drinks and fruit platter, the two began chatting casually.
Are you going home tonight?
The man asked.
I have to go back. Old Hu has been home these past few days. If I don't go back, he'll get suspicious. He asked me about it last time.
The Way of Women.
What do you want to ask me?
They asked me why I was going home so late.
I said.
I went to a gathering with Fang Lin.
Does he suspect you?
No, he asked casually. He's so busy every day, he doesn't have time to keep an eye on me.
The two chatted for a short while before the waiter brought over drinks and a fruit platter.
The two continued their conversation after the waiter left.
Where is your wife?
Is she still investigating you?
The woman asked.
He.
"Investigate my ass. He caused trouble for me last time, so I slapped him, and now he's behaving himself."
The man said.
You haven't suspected me, have you?
The woman asked again.
No, that's impossible. Don't worry.
The man said.
As she spoke, she picked up a strawberry from the fruit plate, reached forward, and offered it directly to the woman's mouth. The woman took it and ate it; everything seemed very natural.
Couples of this age rarely do this kind of thing; feeding each other is something young lovers like to do. The two are obviously not husband and wife, but secret lovers.
"Oh, right, about that deal from the North Market last time," the man said again, and the two started talking about business.
What they talked about wasn't important, at least not to Wu Chen; what mattered was their secret relationship.
In this relationship, the two would secretly run away to meet and chat. No matter what the topic of conversation was, they would do things that lovers would do, say things that family members would say, and naturally mention each other's families and other matters.
Both of them were cheating, Wu Chen filmed them to document evidence of their infidelity.
On July 20th of the previous year, after Wu Chen handed the matter over to Wu Yurong, he went to many places and investigated many things, and for some reasons investigated even more things.
Wu Chen knew these two would be meeting here; they told Wu Chen themselves, under duress, because Wu Chen had kidnapped them and tortured them to extract information.
Wu Chen determined the exact time the two arrived by monitoring the surveillance footage.
It was the security camera footage from this bar that showed Wu Chen had been there around 8 PM on the previous night, July 20th. Through the footage, Wu Chen knew the exact time the two of them arrived and the exact time they left, down to the second.
However, because the booth seats had very high backs, the bar's security cameras didn't capture what the two did after they sat down.
Ten minutes later, when will you bring up the topic of divorce with your husband?
The man asked.
How do I bring it up?
If I bring it up suddenly, won't he become suspicious?
I need to find fault with him first, and argue with him.
The Way of Women.
At this moment, Wu Chen glanced at his watch, then tapped his phone screen a few times to stop recording. He had saved enough; the 20 minutes of recording was sufficient proof that the two were old lovers. He got up and left.
After leaving the bar, Wu Chen got back to his car but didn't leave immediately; instead, he waited for a while.
A few minutes later, a black Mercedes-Benz pulled up behind the Lamborghini. A stunningly beautiful girl, wearing a tight-fitting short skirt that accentuated her figure and with exquisite makeup, stepped out of the Mercedes-Benz. She then walked quickly in her high heels and went straight to the blue Lamborghini, opened the passenger door, and got in.
It was Zhuang Xiaodie. The black Mercedes-Benz belonged to Li Ruobing 'Li Ruobing bodyguard. He had driven her here. Wu Chen had called her before leaving Willowbank Apartments to drive over, telling her he would be here in 10 minutes.
Zhuang Xiaodi got into the car, closed the door, turned to look at Wu Chen Mr. Wu, greeted him with a sweet smile, and then fastened her seatbelt.
Wu Chen turned his head and smiled as he looked Zhuang Xiaodie over. Zhuang Xiaodi was indeed obedient; Wu Chen had told him at noon that he would take him out.
Although Zhuang Xiaodi didn't know what Wu Chen was going to do with him, he still made careful preparations. His makeup, clothes, and jewelry all exuded a refined and charming aura.
Set off!
Wu Chen started the Lamborghini and got back on the road. About half an hour later, at the Zhizhen Manor Villa Community on Shangfeng Road the Central District, a bodyguard wearing black shoes and headphones stood outside the community gate, watching the vehicles coming and going on the street.
He had been out for a while, waiting for someone to come.
The blue Lamborghini appeared on the street and soon arrived at the gate of the primary school.
The Black-Suited Bodyguards leaned forward and peered into the car, spotted Wu Chen, then took out a remote control from his pocket and opened the gate.
Wu Chen drove his Lamborghini directly into the extremely secure Villa community.
The bodyguard in the black suit watched the car drive in, then pressed his earpiece and said, "Boss, Mr. Wu, we've arrived at Zhizhen Manor Villa Community. It's a very large community, and it's difficult for someone visiting for the first time to find the Villa they want right away. They might really get lost. But Wu Chen won't get lost, because this is his first time here since the start of Wu Chen New Life, though he's been here countless times in his Reincarnation."
Soon, the Lamborghini stopped on the roadside in front of the Villa No. 7 in the residential area.
This is a very large detached Villa surrounded by lawns. Several bodyguards in black can be seen patrolling the area, and another bodyguard is walking a large dog while looking around.
In today's society, such a scene would give people a feeling of being heavily guarded, and this place is indeed heavily guarded.
Wu Chenyu and Zhuang Xiaodie got out of the car. Zhuang Xiaodie walked to Wu Chen 'Wu Chen side, took his hand, and the two walked together toward the gate of the Villa No. 7.
A bodyguard in black immediately came over and said very politely, "Mr. Wu, this way please."
As he spoke, he walked ahead and waved to indicate that he was leading the way for Wu Chen.
This concludes this episode. We hope you'll continue listening!
