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

Chapter 396 Awakening of the Maiden Hero & Cannon Fodder NPC 07

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.

But they did not dare to let their guard down. Sitting on a park bench, they looked like a couple enjoying a leisurely time, but in fact their eyes kept darting among the passers-by around them, trying to find the mysterious sender.

Time passed by minute by minute, and people passed by one after another, but no one came towards them, nor did they make any unusual moves.

The two sat on the bench, their doubts and anxieties growing stronger.

Suddenly, a slight noise came from the trash can beside me, as if something was thrown in.

Li Chen instantly became alert and quickly turned around, his eyes full of vigilance and suspicion. In order not to miss any suspicious points, he quickly walked to the trash can and leaned over to check.

Sure enough, a square package was found in the trash can. The packaging was exactly the same as the letter I had received before. It had a rough texture, yellowed color, and exuded a stale smell.

Li Chen carefully picked up the package, returned to Wenrou, and slowly opened it. Inside the package was a key and a letter. Scribbled on the envelope were the words: "Have you been conquered by that woman? Don't you want to get rid of this?"

Li Chen opened the envelope and found another address inside.

Wenrou looked at the contents of the letter, her face full of confusion. She couldn't help but ask, "What on earth does this person want to do? If he's not a capturer, why has he been hiding so much and not daring to show up? And he knows so much about game captures, there's a good chance he's one of those who want to capture you."

Li Chen pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, "No matter who he is, this is my only clue to escaping the game's control. I can't give up, I must keep tracking him down."

After saying that, he took out his cell phone, called the bodyguards, and arranged for them to come and protect Wenrou.

"This person seems to only want to see me, so I'll go alone this time. I'll have the bodyguards protect you, so you must never act alone." Li Chen turned his head, his eyes fixed on Wenrou, his eyes full of worry and concern. He once again reminded her worriedly, "You must not leave the bodyguards' sight. I'll feel at ease if they protect you."

Being looked at so intently by Li Chen, listening to his worried instructions, Wenrou felt her heart beating uncontrollably. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes unconsciously dropped, not daring to meet Li Chen's gaze. She subconsciously bit her lower lip, trying to suppress the panic that was like a fluttering deer in her heart.

She quickly suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, nodded vigorously, and instructed: "Okay, I'll listen to you, don't worry. But you must be careful, and contact me immediately if anything happens."

She quickly suppressed her feelings, nodded, and instructed, "Okay, I'll listen to you, don't worry. But you must be careful, and contact me immediately if anything happens."

Not long after, the bodyguard arrived. After Li Chen gave repeated instructions, he went to the address on the letter alone.

Following the address, Li Chen arrived at a bustling subway station.

People were coming and going in the station, and the noisy voices and the roar of the trains entering the station were intertwined.

The address pointed to an ordinary luggage storage area. People around were in a hurry, busy with their own things, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

With the key in his hand, Li Chen found the corresponding one among the many cabinets.

He put his hand on the cabinet door, paused, and took a deep breath, as if gathering strength.

Then, he slowly opened the cabinet door and saw a USB flash drive lying quietly inside. In the dim cabinet, the shell of the USB flash drive was shining with a cold luster.

He looked around with a sharp gaze, trying to catch a trace of suspicion in the crowd.

However, everything seemed so normal and no one suspicious was found.

After hesitating for a moment, he decisively picked up the USB drive and quickly left the subway station.

After he left for a long time, a man wearing a hat and a mask, covering himself tightly, slowly walked out from behind the cabinet.

He looked in the direction where Li Chen left, and an elusive light flashed in his eyes.

Then, he blended into the crowd and disappeared in an instant.

Li Chen returned home and, with trepidation, inserted the USB drive into his computer. As the file slowly opened on the screen, his expression grew grave. The file detailed the method for escaping the game: find other captives, awaken them all, and rebel against the capture. Once all captives were no longer being captured, the game would cease, unable to progress. The world would become a normal one without the capturers. The game consciousness, deprived of its energy source, would no longer be able to manipulate the world or their actions.

Wenrou, standing nearby, also saw the contents on the computer. She frowned, lost in thought, and then suggested, "If what's written here is true, our most important goal right now is to find the other captured victims. How about I go and get some information from the capturers? Maybe we can find the other captured victims faster."

Li Chen rejected the proposal without a second thought: "No, it's too dangerous. Those attackers will do anything to achieve their goals. I can't let you take such a risk."

Wenrou wanted to fight for it again, but Li Chen pursed his lips and said firmly, "Wenrou, you were innocently implicated by me in the first place. This is my business. I pretended to be conquered so that I can get close to them and ensure your safety. Believe me, this is the best way."

As he spoke, he subconsciously reached out and gently held Wenrou's hand. The warmth of her palm was transmitted through her skin, making Wenrou's heart tremble suddenly.

Li Chen's eyes were full of determination and tenderness. He looked at Wenrou, and seemed to be drawing strength from their clasped hands.

Wenrou looked at Li Chen's determined eyes, feeling mixed emotions.

She felt Li Chen's strong desire to protect her, and this feeling of being cherished made the love in her heart surge even more violently. She nodded slightly and said softly, "Okay, I believe you. But you must come back safely."

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

"Li Chen, what are you thinking about?" The woman looked at the handsome man sitting opposite her, her heart pounding. Noticing that he was distracted, she couldn't help but remind him softly.

Li Chen came back to his senses and saw the woman opposite him. Her expression hadn't changed much. She was still cold and said, "Nothing. I just remembered something about work."
