Who moved her body?

The house was very large, and Xu Haiyang and Shanshan, representing two groups of people, spontaneously split into two parts.

Xu Haiyang occupied the first floor, Shanshan occupied the third floor, and the rest of the people moved into the second floor.

Guan Jie did not see Shan Shan before lunch.

At lunchtime, Shanshan and Xu Haiyang arrived at the dining hall at different times, because Guan Jie had to protect Xu Haiyang at all times, so he hadn't met Shanshan yet.

Although Shanshan would be staying here for a week, giving him plenty of opportunities to meet, Guan Jie was already impatient. Besides wanting to confirm Shanshan's true identity, he realized that time was running out.

He didn't know who was helping him conceal his identity or what their intentions were; all he could do was race against time.

After lunch, Xu Haiyang yawned and went back to his room. "Don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary. I need to rest and recharge now!"

After Xu Haiyang closed the door, Mugua said to Guan Jie, "You've been so absent-minded all day. It must be because you're overheated and it's affecting your mind. Tonight, the boss will take you out to cool down. It'll cure all your ailments."

"Tonight? Didn't the boss say the boss had to stay at the villa 24/7?"

"That's just something I said to the boss. Do you really think he can stay put?" Papaya yawned as she lay down on the first-floor sofa. "If we go out at night, the boss won't know. Besides, do you really not want to go out for 'that'? Huh?"

Papaya gave Guan Jie a knowing look that any man would understand, which made Guan Jie grin.

"I'm just recovering from my injury, and I'm afraid I'll be too weak to do it, otherwise I would have died long ago."

Papaya nodded slightly in agreement and said, "I knew you were hot-blooded, how could you live without women? But holding it in can be bad, take it easy, it'll be fine."

With his back to the two-seater sofa, the floor-to-ceiling window offered a view of the backyard pool. Guan Jie sat in a single seat, half-heartedly accepting Mu Gua's offer while letting his gaze follow the shimmering light reflected in the pool. Suddenly, Shan Shan, draped in a snow-white towel, came into Guan Jie's view.

Shan Shan moved her arms slightly, and the towel slipped off her shoulders as if she had received a royal decree. A red bikini outlined the endless beauty below, and Guan Jie froze.

The skin, more captivating than the shimmering light, as smooth as milk, aroused Guan Jie's desire, and his throat suddenly felt dry and burning.

Papaya raised his upper body, staring in disbelief as two streams of blood flowed from Guan Jie's nostrils. "Damn, he's really young and vigorous!"

Guan Jie was startled and raised his hand to wipe his nose. It was indeed blood.

A splash of water rose, and the beautiful scene disappeared into the pool. Guan Jie felt a refreshing coolness.

……

"I'll overtake that bastard; he tried to cut me off earlier!"

Guan Jie floored the accelerator, turned the steering wheel all the way to the left, and then suddenly straightened it again. In less than three seconds, Papaya in the back seat had been thrown from the right to the left, and the cruiser that was trying to cut off Xu Haiyang's G-Class was now parallel to the right side of the G-Class.

"Hold on tight!"

After saying that, Guan Jie stepped on the gas pedal, and all that could be heard was an excited roar from the exhaust pipe. Before Mu Gua could even grab onto something to hold onto, he was thrown into the air to the right, his dark face leaving a comical outline on the right rear window.

The moment the red light came on, the front of the G-Class cut between the Land Cruiser and the car in front of it. Before the Land Cruiser could react, the G-Class spun sharply and came to a smooth stop in front of the Land Cruiser. The tires screeched against the ground with a satisfying crunch, and wisps of smoke rose up. Xu Haiyang opened the window and took a satisfied drag.

"You've practiced, haven't you? Your drifting skills are top-notch."

The cruiser, having been rebuffed, honked its horn a few times in frustration. "What the hell are you doing driving? Are you looking for death?"

Xu Haiyang leaned halfway out, raised his right middle finger high, and then poked it downwards. "Go ahead and hit me if you dare! If you don't have guts, don't race me. You can't accept defeat!"

The cruiser's driver trembled his lower lip and waved his fist in the air.

Guan Jie saw the cruiser driver's expression in the rearview mirror, as if he wanted to strangle Xu Haiyang, and said, "He's struggling between the car and his dignity."

"They definitely wouldn't dare get out. If they wanted to, they would have done it already." Xu Haiyang chuckled as he swayed back into the car. "Those who drive cruisers are either pseudo-intellectuals or idiots who think they're so cool just because they've driven the Qinghai-Tibet Highway once. They're stingy and trying to use that little bit of experience to get attention and fool young girls. If you actually made them bleed a little, pfft, no way. In my eyes, these guys are all idiots, just bluffing."

"That makes sense," Guan Jie said.

Completely disoriented, Papaya rolled down the car window, stuck her head out, and began vomiting violently.

"Are you a weakling? You even get carsick!"

Xu Haiyang cursed in disgust.

This time, the cruiser's windows closed quickly, as if Papaya's vomit might drift into his car.

Guan Jie looked in the rearview mirror and said, "After being scolded by you, I'm forced to watch the papaya vomit. The guy in the back should skip his midnight snack tonight."

After spitting out the vomit, Mugua rinsed her mouth, then closed the window and said helplessly, "I finally understand why you need to wear a seatbelt even in the back seat. From now on, if I ride in Zhao Ren's car, I'll not only wear a seatbelt, but I'll also prepare a plastic bag!"

Xu Haiyang glanced at the papaya.

"How embarrassing! After following me for so many years, you're getting worse and worse."

Throughout the journey, Papaya was extremely cautious, clinging to the front seat at the slightest disturbance, which made Xu Haiyang laugh hysterically the whole way, occasionally lying to him that Guan Jie was going to speed.

Finally arriving at the place Xu Haiyang had mentioned, Mugua got out of the car, leaning on the door for support, and complained with a sallow face, "Boss, can't you be kind enough to help me? Look at my legs, they're like sieves. I can't work tonight."

"What are you doing? If you can't do it, just take a break." Xu Haiyang whistled and walked away first.

Guan Jie locked the car door and followed Xu Haiyang through a small alley to the outside of a residential building.

This is a self-built villa, three and a half stories high. Like the other self-built villas in the area, it has the same style: brick red walls and a brass-colored gate. In front of the house is a garden of about ten square meters, where a man is sitting, seemingly enjoying the cool air.

Xu Haiyang pushed open the gate outside the garden. The man who was enjoying the cool air stood up, and after seeing Xu Haiyang's face, he hurriedly pushed open the villa's main gate, leaving a gap large enough for one person to pass through.

"Is Gege here today?" Xu Haiyang asked.

"Yes, I heard you were coming. I didn't see anyone all night, just waiting for you."

Mugua and Guan Jie followed Xu Haiyang into the house, and the door closed behind Guan Jie.

The sweet aroma seemed to be emanating from inside the walls, reminding one of sweets and whetting their appetite.

No one dislikes desserts; this is a universal truth. Sweets are relaxing, and of course, they can be addictive.

The living room is right inside the entrance, with the dining room, which is half a meter higher than the living room, located behind it. The kitchen is to one side of the dining room. The living room contains a set of European-style sofas, and nothing else.

A burst of laughter came from one side of the kitchen; it was more than one girl.

Guan Jie took a few steps toward the side from which the laughter came, and the staircase, which had been hidden by the restaurant which was half a meter higher, came into view.

Xu Haiyang pressed a number and said, "301, I'm coming up now, baby."

"Go ahead, just don't exhaust yourself to death." Xu Haiyang gestured towards the downward staircase, then went upstairs on the other side of the stairs.

"This is actually... a chicken coop?" Guan Jie asked Mu Gua. "Hidden in a residential area, that's really unexpected."

"Unexpected, isn't it? Nobody would have thought."

"Let's go." Papaya took the lead and stepped down the steps, saying, "This is a place that ordinary people can't come to. We're only here because of the boss, so let's not waste it."

After making three turns and going down more than ten meters underground, we finally arrived at the outside of this glass room filled with laughter.

Two handsome men dressed as waiters sat outside the glass door, nodding amicably to Mugua and Guan Jie as they came down.

Two rows of crimson velvet sofas were placed against the wall, and a dozen girls were huddled together in twos and threes, seemingly having some kind of secret conversation. Then suddenly they burst into laughter, and the long white legs in the room trembled.

Papaya swallowed.

"This is one-way glass. Just tell them when you've chosen." Papaya squinted, finally pointing to a voluptuous girl, then turned to the man at the door and said, "She's the one."

Guan Jie watched as Mugua and the plump girl went upstairs.

Guan Jie frowned; he felt a little nauseous.

Just as he turned to leave, a girl came out of the restroom and called out to him.

"Handsome guy? Is that you?"

Guan Jie turned around. "What a coincidence."

"I knew it was you just by looking at your back. I thought you were really some kind of otherworldly being." The girl smiled dreamily, then walked closer to Guan Jie, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said, "If you say you're here to chat with someone tonight, I won't believe you."

"I don't even believe I'm here to chat."

"That's good, let's go."

What are you doing here?

"We're not doing the papaya line anymore, so I need to find myself a place to stay. I don't want to go to nightclubs anymore; the result is the same anyway. I prefer the most direct approach: men pay, I provide the service." Ali shuddered and said, "Simple and straightforward, straight to the point."

"If I had known you were here, I would have come looking for you directly," Guan Jie said.

"Missing me?"

Guan Jie chuckled, "We're just old acquaintances, so why should I miss you?

"What a frivolous man! But I like him." Ali opened the door to room 202 on her bracelet, kicked off her high heels, and then opened the refrigerator to get a Coke.

Ali tossed the cola to Guan Jie and lay down on the bed, propping her chin up with one hand.

"I told you Xu Haiyang was going to the Butterfly Club that night, and you went there too, and even happened to save him. Can I call that a coincidence?" Ali's gaze moved from Guan Jie's feet to his eyes, and she gently patted her hair with her fingers supporting her head as she said, "Or were you after all that, eyeing Xu Haiyang from the beginning?"

Guan Jie took a few sips of cola, put the can on the bedside table, and then sat down.

The room contained only a bathroom and a bed. Guan Jie sat down, leaning against Ali.

"Women are always too suspicious, which makes them age faster."

"Really? But I heard from the girls in the underworld that Xu Haiyang is more suspicious. Do you think I should tell him my doubts? Maybe he'll dispel them. What do you think, my handsome guy?"

"I will dispel your doubts. Through my actions."

Looking into Ali's smiling eyes, Guan Jie knew he couldn't just chat tonight.
