I Was Trapped in the Same Day for a Thousand Years: Blow Your Cover! Then Do It Again! Something's Seriously Wrong!
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 and Lao He.
Wu Chen was essentially revealing himself; he first claimed to know about guns, thus providing an impeccable reason.
Whether his reasons are believed or not is not important; what matters is that he has reasons, and that's enough.
This can be considered sophistry. Whether you believe it or not, whether you question it or not, is not important. What matters is that there is an explanation.
Wu Chen never intended for Li Maoren to believe his words; in fact, it could be said that Wu Chen wanted Li Maoren to doubt him. He was proactive, and he wanted to be even more proactive.
A silence fell over the room. Li Maoren's expression was clearly off, but his unease was different from that of his son and daughter, because he knew more about guns than they did.
He was a genuine soldier and had even held a leadership position in Military Factory, so he knew better than anyone that Wu Chen was lying. However, he took the pistol from Wu Chen and looked at it again before asking Li Maoren, "Let me open it and take a look."
He seemed extremely curious about the internal structure of a real gun, wanting to see if it matched what he knew.
Without waiting for a polite response, he immediately began disassembling the gun.
Pulling the slide, removing the empty magazine, the bolt hold-up lever, unscrewing the slide, removing the nearby yellow parts, and taking the scalpel—after removing each part, Wu Chen first placed it on the coffee table. His movements were exceptionally fast and skillful, without any hesitation or pause. He disassembled the pistol and then began reassembling it without stopping.
Reassembling is generally slower than disassembling because it requires precise placement.
But Wu Chen still moved very quickly.
After pulling the slide up, Wu Chen took another bullet and casually put it into the magazine. He then shoved the bullet into the magazine with one hand and shoved the magazine back into the pistol.
Snap!
Wu Chen slammed the loaded pistol onto the middle of the coffee table.
Finish.
That's interesting.
Wu Chen looked directly at Li Maoren and smiled.
Li Maoren stared at Wu Chen expressionlessly.
From the moment Wu Chen began disassembling the gun, he remained expressionless and calmly watched Wu Chen quickly disassemble and reassemble the pistol.
He estimated that it would take Wu Chen less than 20 seconds to disassemble and reassemble the pistol.
This has reached the level of a firearms expert in the SWAT Brigade.
Even in the military, one would need to be a veteran or an outstanding instructor for several years to achieve a similar speed, though it's hard to say it's faster than Wu Chen's.
Li Maoren used to be able to disassemble and assemble a pistol at that speed, but he can't anymore; he's gotten older and his skills have rusted.
Li Maoren joined the army as Vanguard, carrying the honor of his family. He had to be outstanding and faced immense pressure to get promoted. This pressure didn't come from the military, but from his own family. He had to reach a certain position and rank at a certain age.
Family support is only one aspect; if he himself is incompetent, he certainly won't succeed.
That's why, based on his attitude, he even wondered if Wu Chen might be from some elite special forces unit, because only such a place could produce such a young elite.
But he happened to know Wu Chen's background; he had checked everything. He knew that Wu Chen was really ordinary, a recent college graduate, and had never served in the military.
Based on the available intelligence, it's impossible for Wu Chen to know so much about guns. Guns are inherently sensitive and special, not to mention that this Type 92 is a military version.
Wu Chen is a very problematic person.
Li Maoren confirmed it, and that was Wu Chen's goal. Everyone— Li Ruobing, Li Ruotai, and even Li Maoren— had fallen into a cognitive trap.
Li Maoren felt that Wu Chen was faking it, hiding his own problems, and didn't want him to expose that it was his daughter's fake boyfriend.
Li Ruobing was worried that her father would think Wu Chen was a fake boyfriend, so she was very concerned that Wu Chen would make a mistake and that her father would find a way to expose him.
The biggest mistake in this thinking is that anyone who says there's a problem with their boyfriend is automatically a fake boyfriend.
The reality is quite the opposite. If Wu Chen were truly an ordinary person who only follows Li Ruobin's orders, then he would be the fake one.
Li Maoren will never believe that Wu Chen is real, because his daughter would never fall for an ordinary person.
Because Wu Chen exposed his problem and escalated it to an inexplicable and absurd degree, this is a crucial issue that needs to be addressed significantly.
It seems like Xiao Wu has been handling guns for quite some time.
Li Maoren finally spoke, looking at Wu Chen expressionlessly, his eyes clearly conveying a hidden meaning.
It wasn't short at all, more than ten years old, and before even starting junior high school, that he began his first online search.
Wu Chen smiled and responded to Li Maoren, clearly telling Li Maoren, "I was lying to you."
But Wu Chen's approach was rather helpless. He said, "I learned it from the internet. If you think it's unreasonable, then sorry, I'm a genius, okay?"
Wu Chen didn't need to say any of this, and Li Maoren wouldn't ask. He knew that if Wu Chen didn't want to talk about it, he could just brush it off. He already suspected that Wu Chen had a very deep, complex, and secretive background, a background that Li Jia would find difficult to investigate in a short time, otherwise there would be no way to explain it.
With the wisdom of a polite person, it's not hard to figure out that Wu Chen told him on purpose. It seems that Wu Chen is really capable.
Li Maoren replied, "Uncle, you flatter me. It's just some hobbies."
Wu Chen maintained his smile, and as he spoke, he raised his hand again, seemingly out of habit, and placed it on Li Ruobing 'Li Ruobing leg, gently squeezing her knee. He continued to look at Li Maoren.
Inducement.
But to be chosen by Ling Ai, there must be something special about you, Uncle, don't you think?
It wasn't until Wu Chen said those words that Li Ruobing Wu Chen suddenly understood what he was doing. This directly refuted the possibility that Li Ruobing had actively sought out him for the role, but it also triggered a new and bigger problem: a man of unknown origin, who should have a special background, was dating the eldest granddaughter of the Li Family Heir and Fang family.
It's just dating, what's the purpose?
This trouble is Wu Chen's own doing.
I was wondering why.
Li Maoren maintained the same expression and tone, glancing at Li Ruobing before looking at Wu Chen. Ruobing has always had high standards; she looks down on most men. Her pride is so high that it gives me, her father, a headache.
Xiao Wu, you really are a surprise!
Let's open the city gates. Ruobing and I fell in love at first sight.
Wu Chen smiled and said, "I don't believe you! Love at first sight, you idiot!"
Mother-in-law and husband, how about we talk alone?
Wu Chen suddenly spoke up again, taking the initiative.
Li Ruobing and Li Ruotai's expressions both hardened, but Li Maoren's expression remained unchanged, still expressionless.
Wu Chen looked at him, remained silent for three seconds, and then said, "Okay."
Li Ruobing suddenly stood up and asked, "Shall we talk privately?"
What should we talk about?
Are you still going to carry me on your back?
He reacted very strongly because he was worried that he didn't know what Wu Chen was up to again, and he knew very well that his father would never have spoken to Wu Chen in such a restrained manner if he hadn't been there.
Now Wu Chen has actually taken the initiative to suggest talking to Bingbing alone.
Li Maoren looked up, frowned, and said to his daughter, "Take your brother out first." He wasn't asking her; he was giving her a command.
I'm not going out.
Li Ruobing immediately retorted, "I'm not worthy to hear anything shameful you're trying to say."
That's just an excuse. Xiao Wu said we should talk privately, so why are you arguing with me?
Li Maoren retorted with a stern face, which actually stumped Li Ruobing.
Ruobing Wu Chen remained seated on the sofa, raised his hand to pull Li Ruobing's hand as she stood beside him, and smiled up at her, saying, "I'd like to have a private talk with your dad. Don't bother me here. There are some things I can't say to your uncle. He's been taking care of your feelings, so it's better to talk things out."
Li Ruobing turned her head and glared at Wu Chen, furious. On the way here, in the car, she had explained the situation to Wu Chen in detail, saying that her father had taken a plane early that morning to come for A Tai, and that meeting her daughter's boyfriend was just a side trip to deal with him carefully. Wu Chen hadn't told Li Ruobing what he was planning to do, and now things had come to this.
However, although Li Ruobing was angry, she couldn't vent her anger on Wu Chen. She couldn't argue with Wu Chen, because that would make him seem too guilty, as if he was afraid of revealing something.
After glancing sideways at Wu Chen for a few seconds, Li Ruobing, with a cold expression, abruptly shook off Wu Chen's hand. "You two talk."
After saying that, Li Ruobing turned around the sofa and walked quickly out in her high heels.
As Li Ruotai followed his sister out, he said, "Um, Dad, Sister, Father, you two talk, my sister and I will go out first."
The siblings went out, and the hallway outside was full of bodyguards. Li Ruotai gently closed the door after he left.
Li Ruobing was furious. Her face was icy as she paused, then turned around abruptly and asked Li Ruotai in a low voice, "Grandma, is there a security camera in this room?"
Well,
Li Ruotai hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "No, I won't open it."
His Crown Entertainment Club is practically covered in surveillance cameras that can be used to secretly film people and catch them in the act, including his pretentious suite.
It's said to be his suite, but it's actually used to entertain important clients. The security cameras in his suite are only turned on when important clients come.
Today his father is here, so of course he can't turn on the surveillance camera.
Can it be opened?
Where can I watch it?
Li Ruobing asked again.
Li Ruotai hesitated, then turned his head to look in the corridor. Not only were there his and Li Ruobing's bodyguards, but Li Maoren's bodyguards were also there; they were all Li Maoren's confidants.
Is it really okay for you to just say that so bluntly, sis?
For Li Ruobing, this wasn't really a bad thing. She just wanted to know what Wu Chen was going to talk about with her father. She wasn't afraid her father would find out; it's just that with their tempers, weren't they afraid of causing trouble?
You know your brother-in-law's personality perfectly well.
Li Ruobing continued.
As far as we're both concerned, you can delete it after they've finished talking.
Several polite bodyguards in the corridor listened to the siblings' conversation, their expressions somewhat strange, but they certainly wouldn't say anything or stop them. At most, they would tell Li Ruobing That Li Man that Li Ruotai was Li Maoren's biological daughter, and that a biological son would never harm his own father. They urged him to hurry up.
Li Ruobing glared at the hesitant Li Ruotai.
Yeah, right across from me.
Li Ruotai hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed to the corridor.
It's right across from the large suite, very close by.
Li Ruobing said something, then turned and the two entered the opposite room, which was also a large suite. There were several bodyguards sitting in the living room; this large suite was for the bodyguards.
When they saw the two enter, they both stood up, but neither the siblings said a word.
Li Ruota led the way, guiding his sister towards a room in the suite.
Upon entering the room, which appeared to be a suite bedroom, there was no bed or anything like that. Instead, there was a long table, many computers, and a wall full of surveillance screens, with some staff members sitting in front of the row of computers.
You all go out first.
Li Ruotai said as he entered the room.
Everyone got up and left.
Li Ruotai casually found a computer, sat down, and personally adjusted the settings, entering the password to access all the hidden surveillance cameras in the suite.
Upon seeing the surveillance footage, both siblings' expressions changed.
Some images were no longer displayed due to a lack of signal, but some surveillance footage was still available, showing Wu Chen's face at close range, before the signal was lost again.
In the suite, after Li Ruobing and Li Ruotai left without closing the door, only Wu Chen and Li Maoren remained sitting facing each other in the living room.
Bingbing seems to listen to Xiao Wu quite a bit.
Li Maoren's tone immediately changed; with his daughter not around, he no longer needed to pretend.
Not really, it's just that he's always been reasonable with me.
Wu Chen remained unchanged, maintaining his smile.
What are you trying to say, Li Maoren?
Uncle, please wait a moment.
Wu Chen suddenly interrupted Li Maoren, stood up abruptly, straightened his evil attire, and turned to walk towards the wine cabinet.
Li Maoren stared at Wu Chen with a sullen face, watching Wu Chen's retreating figure.
What's the meaning?
Want a drink?
No.
Wu Chen walked over, opened the transparent glass wine cabinet door, and then pulled out a bottle of red wine.
The bottle is pure black, and the opaque opening is somewhat odd; you wouldn't notice it unless you took it out.
Wu Chen took it out without even looking at it and threw it directly to the ground.
Snap!
The bottle shattered, but no liquid spilled because it contained batteries, wires, electronic components, and other things, all connected to a well-disguised pinhole camera at the bottle's opening.
After shaking it, Wu Chen even stomped on it; he was wearing leather shoes.
Afterwards, Wu Chen walked to another corner of the room, picked up a small sculpture from the cabinet, and scratched at its base.
After removing the battery, Wu Chen walked to another shelf in the room, not far from the Piano, where an old-fashioned gramophone was placed!
Nowadays, having this gramophone in the room is considered very classy, and there are also many Vinyl Records next to it.
Wu Chen pulled the old-fashioned phonograph up, moved it aside a bit, and then pulled it back, ripping out the power cord.
After finishing up in three places, Wu Chen walked to the sofa and coffee table, sat down opposite Li Maoren, and picked up a metal ornament on the sofa and coffee table—a Fortune Beast.
Wu Chen unscrewed the bottom of the Fortune Beast ornament and pulled out a bunch of random things, including batteries, electronic components, cameras, and pinholes.
After the camera was pulled out, the eye of the Fortune Beast ornament was missing a hole, because the camera was originally installed from the inside out, disguised as the Fortune Beast's eye.
All the hidden surveillance cameras in the four locations were removed, but Wu Chen then reached under the coffee table, felt around, and peeled off a black box that was taped to the bottom of the coffee table.
There's a flashing red light above it; that's for close-range sound pickup.
Wu Chen simply turned off the switch and left it aside.
Looking at Li Maoren, Wu Chen crossed his legs again and smiled, saying, "Alright, Uncle, we can talk now."
Li Maoren stared at Wu Chen with a grim face. He had witnessed everything Wu Chen had done. Suddenly, while maintaining a polite stare at Wu Chen, he reached out, grabbed the pistol from the middle of the coffee table, abruptly stood up, pointed the gun at Wu Chen, and coldly asked, "Who are you?"
Why are you with my daughter?
This concludes this episode. We hope you'll continue listening!
