Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night
Chapter 36 Has it truly learned to recognize its master?
Chen Yutang's kneeling was like a thunderclap, silencing the entire banquet for a few seconds.
Soon, more and more people gathered around.
"What happened?"
"Has Chen Yutang gone mad?"
"Was she just begging Xu Yuanjia?"
"Don't talk nonsense, didn't her family just have a bad accident..."
……
Waves of discussion crashed over, and the champagne, lights, and cameras were all thrown into chaos.
Shi Luyu stood there, still holding her camera, but her mind was somewhat blank.
Chen Yutang was crying so hard that she was sobbing uncontrollably and her words were slurred. The surroundings were also noisy, so she couldn't hear exactly what Chen Yutang was shouting. She only vaguely knew that Chen Yutang was kneeling in front of Xu Yuanjia and begging for mercy.
She turned to look at Xu Yuanjia in surprise.
Xu Yuanjia lowered his eyes even faster than her, his brows furrowing slightly, his expression seemingly genuinely bewildered by the scene before him.
He softened his voice and called her softly, "Lulu."
Shi Luyu was taken aback.
Xu Yuanjia took half a step closer to her, his tone surprisingly aggrieved: "Look at her..."
"She used to harass me a lot back in school, telling everyone that she and I were connected. I ignored her, and she just got more and more crazy."
He lowered his eyes slightly, his eyelashes obscuring the fleeting darkness in his pupils. When he looked up again, he had an expression of innocent and annoyed at being implicated.
"Now that the Chen family has offended the Xu family, she can't have me, so she wants to drag me down with her."
He paused, lowering his voice even further, as if to show weakness, "Oh dear, I'm so scared."
Shi Luyu believed it almost immediately.
She hadn't really heard Chen Yutang call out "Master Jia," and she was already used to Xu Yuanjia's carefree yet affectionate manner in front of her. Seeing him like this now, her doubts were instantly overwhelmed by heartache.
She immediately grabbed Xu Yuanjia's hand, pulled him to her side, and looked warily at Chen Yutang on the ground.
"Don't talk nonsense." Shi Luyu frowned, her voice low but serious. "What does your family's business have to do with my brother?"
Xu Yuanjia stood behind her, quietly being protected by her.
But Shi Luyu didn't see that he glanced over her shoulder and gave the school board member beside him a very indifferent look.
The school board member's expression changed drastically, but he immediately understood and waved for someone to come forward.
Several staff members half-dragged, half-pulled Chen Yutang up from the ground. Chen Yutang was still crying and tried to rush towards Shi Luyu, but she was quickly covered and taken away, leaving only a series of broken sobs, which were drowned out by the music that started playing again at the banquet.
Xu Yuanjia withdrew his gaze and lazily put his arm around Shi Luyu's shoulder.
"Lulu, let's go." He gave a slight smile, as if nothing had happened.
"Brother will accompany you on a field trip."

That evening, accompanied by Xu Yuanjia, Shi Luyu went home to pack her luggage, and then met up with the photography club members at the school gate to set off.
The photography group's location for this trip was the Suwan Old River Valley.
The location is far from the city of Thamai. During the day, it boasts wetlands, old railway tracks, tropical rainforests, and river valley sunsets, making it ideal for photographing natural and cultural landscapes. At night, it offers stunning views of fireflies, starry skies, and distant mountains. It's a fantastic spot for photography enthusiasts.
No one knew that beyond an abandoned mine beyond the old Suwan Valley lay a forbidden zone in Taimai, a place no one dared to approach.
That's Jia Ye's territory.
At night, members of the photography club took photos in groups near the camp.
Shi Luyu had only intended to photograph the fireflies along the old railway, but a gust of wind blew, and the fog in the woods pressed down, making several side paths appear identical in the night. She looked down to adjust her camera settings, and when she looked up again, she could no longer see her companion's flashlight beam.
"Senior Lin?" No one answered.
"Brother Jiajia?" There was still no response.
What happened?
She seems to be... lost?
She took out her phone, only to find that the signal was extremely poor, with only one bar of light that flickered on and off.
She could only walk forward along the stone path.
At first, the surrounding area was just an ordinary abandoned mining area. Rusty rails, collapsed wooden sheds, and some old signs entangled by vines, the air filled with damp earth and the smell of rust.
But the further you went in, the more unsettling the atmosphere became.
Black warning posts began to appear along the roadside.
The pillar is unmarked, bearing only a chilling emblem—
Black background with gold serpent and eagle emblem.
A snake coils around an eagle's wings, and an eagle's claws tread on bones.
Shi Luyu stopped abruptly, a chill slowly creeping up her back.
She would never forget that mark, even if it meant her death.
Mountain temple… Night meeting… The epaulettes of the black-clad guards… It’s a heavy shadow, always appearing in the most dangerous places.
She finally realized where she was.
The Xu family.
Jia Ye's territory.
Rumor has it that the Xu family's forbidden zone is mysterious and terrifying, more secure than a military camp and deeper than the black market; outsiders who enter have almost no chance of coming out alive.
No one knows the exact locations of these restricted areas scattered in secret places, and no one dares to spy on them.
Locals don't even call it a restricted area; they privately refer to it as...the Gate of Hell.
And Master Jia is the king of the Ghost Gate.
Shi Luyu turned around and wanted to leave.
But behind them, the forest was shrouded in mist, and the path they had come from had been swallowed up by the night.
Suddenly, many blinding lights appeared in the distance.
It was a row of searchlights high up, like eyes suddenly opened in the underworld.
Shi Luyu was startled and raised her hand to block the light. Once her eyes readjusted to the light, she could see that in front of her was a high black stone platform built against the mountain.
Black-clad guards stood in rows on both sides of the platform, silent and menacing. Black banners, embroidered with serpent and eagle emblems, hung between the stone pillars, fluttering in the night wind.
Zhou Ji stood at the bottom of the steps.
At the highest point stood a man.
He was wearing a Black Hawk mask.
He wore a dark black robe, the surface of which was embroidered with snake-scale-like patterns in dark gold thread, and it was loosely draped over his shoulders.
His upper body was unclothed beneath the robe, revealing well-defined muscle lines and a lean waist and abdomen. He wore matching trousers, and his posture was casual and languid, yet he exuded an extremely powerful and aloof noble air.
Like the king of all ghosts who has emerged from the depths of hell.
Shi Luyu felt her blood run cold.
Jia Ye.
The man stood on high, looking down at her through the mask, his voice laced with mockery:
"How did they manage to break in this time?"
Shi Luyu retreated in alarm, her throat tightening, but she had no choice but to tell the truth: "I'm...I'm lost..."
"Lost?" Jia Ye chuckled.
The laughter was very soft, yet it was like a snake's tongue brushing past the ear.
"Why do you always like to come to my territory, you little wildcat?" He slowly tilted his head, his tone becoming even more rude.
"Could it be..."
"Have you truly learned to acknowledge God now?"
Shi Luyu's face turned pale, and she quickly shook her head: "I'll leave now. Please pretend I was never here, okay, Master Jia?"
"Since you're already here, why leave?" He slowly stroked a black jade thumb ring on his wrist, his voice seeming to seep from the night fog.
Let's play together.
