The delicate cannon fodder is stunning, saving the male supporting role but getting teased instead

Chapter 395 Awakening of the Maiden Hero & Cannon Fodder NPC 06

Li Chen suddenly realized that if everyone related to him would be innocently implicated, then the homeless man who had helped him block many women before might be among them.

Thinking of this, Li Chen remained calm, but went back to his study on the pretext of having something to do. Then he called his company's secretary and asked him to help him check on the homeless man.

Li Chen frowned and sat in the study, waiting for news from his secretary.

Fortunately, the homeless man had mentioned the hotel where he was staying, so the secretary would probably be able to find him as soon as possible. Li Chen thought to himself, if the homeless man was safe and sound, perhaps his previous guess was wrong, and perhaps everything was just a sad coincidence, and not the game behind the scenes manipulating Wenrou to death.

However, this lucky break didn't last long. His cell phone suddenly rang, and Li Chen quickly picked it up. The secretary's grave voice rang out, "Mr. Li, we found the homeless man, but... he's deceased. The scene looks like an accident, but it's incredibly suspicious."

Li Chen's grip on the phone suddenly tightened, his knuckles turning white from the strain, and his expression instantly darkened. He remained silent for a long moment, his voice low and subdued, "I understand. Keep an eye out for any other unusual activity."

After hanging up the phone, Li Chen felt a deep sense of powerlessness overwhelming him like a tide.

The facts were before his eyes. His guess was correct. To ensure the smooth progress of the strategy, this game required the extermination of all obstacles. It was only because he was the male protagonist, the target of the strategy, that the game had not yet targeted him, but instead targeted Wenrou and others.

Li Chen was filled with regret at this moment, regretting that he had dragged Wenrou into this terrible storm. He pursed his lips tightly, and his expression gradually became firm, as if he had secretly made a major decision in his heart.

====================================================================== ================

Over the next few days, Wenrou's foot injury improved significantly. But strangely, Li Chen still showed no signs of ending his vacation and returning to work.

Wenrou couldn't help but feel curious, and asked with some doubt: "Mr. Li, I'm fine now. There's no need to trouble you to take care of me. I can do it myself. You can just work normally and don't worry about me."

To be honest, Wenrou already felt very embarrassed that her employer Li Chen took care of her, and now that Li Chen's work was delayed, she felt even more guilty.

Li Chen was sitting on the sofa, looking through the packages and letters he had recently received. When he heard Wenrou's words, his movements paused slightly, and then he responded nonchalantly, "It's okay. Didn't you say I have endless money? I'll succeed no matter what I do, so it doesn't really matter whether I go to the company or not."

After hearing what Li Chen said, Wenrou thought about it and it seemed to be true.

If I had so much money, I would have stayed at home long ago. I wouldn't have gotten up early to go to the company like Li Chen did.

So, Wenrou stopped trying to persuade him and sat down to the side, picking vegetables while chatting with Li Chen. The two of them chatted back and forth, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. But in the middle of the conversation, Li Chen suddenly fell silent.

Wenrou was puzzled and looked up at Li Chen. He was holding an opened letter in his hand, his brows furrowed tightly, his eyes fixed on the letter as if he wanted to burn a hole in it with his gaze.

Seeing Li Chen like this, Wenrou felt increasingly uneasy and asked softly, "Mr. Li, what's wrong with you? What's in the letter that makes you so worried?" Li Chen suddenly came to his senses and subconsciously hid the letter behind him. He forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, just a small matter at the company. Don't worry."

Wenrou was not fooled by him. She put down the food in her hand, walked over to Li Chen, and said seriously: "Mr. Li, don't hide it from me. We have been through so much together during this period of time, and I want to share it with you. If there is anything, can't we face it together and solve it together?"

Li Chen felt a warm feeling in his heart as he looked at Wenrou's resolute eyes, but he couldn't bear to put her in danger. After much hesitation, he slowly handed the letter to Wenrou, saying with a wry smile, "The letter says that it knows about me and the game. If you want to get rid of everything, you have to go to the address on the letter tomorrow."

Wenrou took the letter and read it word by word, frowning. "This is so strange! How could this person know about the game? I have a feeling there's something fishy going on. Maybe this is a trap set by the attackers."

Li Chen nodded and said helplessly, "I've considered this possibility, but this might be our only chance to break free from the game's control. I really don't want to be manipulated like this anymore, and I don't want to implicate the people around me anymore."

Li Chen pursed his lips. He did not tell Wenrou that the game could harm people, nor did he tell her that the homeless man was dead.

This is actually the reason why Li Chen has to go. He is worried that the game will one day kill Wenrou just like it killed the homeless man.

Wenrou didn't know that Li Chen was worried about her safety. She was a little anxious, and her voice unconsciously rose a little: "But what if there is danger? We can't go there rashly."

Li Chen sighed and said in a deep voice: "I understand your concerns, but I have to try. I...I can't just sit and wait for death anymore."

Wenrou's eyes were slightly red as she looked at Li Chen and said, "Since you must go, I will go with you. I can't let you take the risk alone."

Li Chen was about to refuse, but Wenrou interrupted him, saying, "Don't try to persuade me. I know you're doing this for my own good, but if this is really a trap set by the attacker, I'm here with you, so I'll always have someone who knows the situation. It's better for us to face it together than for you to do it alone."

Li Chen looked at the gentle and determined eyes, and his heart couldn't help but warm up, and he finally nodded.

Of course he wouldn't go alone, but would arrange for bodyguards to follow him secretly.

If that's the case, it wouldn't hurt to keep Wenrou around, as it would actually protect her.

In case she leaves his sight, it would be terrible if she was harmed by the game.

The address on the letter was just an ordinary park.

The next day, Li Chen and Wenrou came to the park as promised.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves onto the ground, forming patches of light. The sound of birds singing around can be heard one after another, creating a peaceful and harmonious scene.
