Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

Zhou Ji was originally finishing up the cleanup of the traitors that night, cleaning up Songpa's remaining connections one by one.

In addition, things have been unsettled within the Xu family these past few days. The third branch of the family is taking advantage of the incident on the southern route to try and interfere with the warehouse operations in northern Thailand.

Jia Ye was already impatient, and at this critical juncture, he was suddenly asked to investigate a girl.

The investigation into a girl named Shi Luyu was so detailed it was almost abnormal.

Zhou Ji had followed Xu Yuanjia for so many years and was used to how he tormented people, seduced them, and manipulated their lives. But he had never seen Master Jia take any woman seriously, let alone go to such lengths.

So when he led his men across the plaza outside the mall and saw a girl standing next to Xu Yuanjia in the distance, he paused for a moment.

The girl, holding two cups of milk tea, wearing a white dress and with long hair, stood under the neon lights, looking so clean and out of place in this place.

Before he could even step forward, the girl suddenly turned pale as if she had seen a ghost, and grabbed Xu Yuanjia's hand.

Then--

He turned and ran.

They run pretty fast.

Zhou Ji: "..."

The black-clad henchmen behind him were also completely dumbfounded.

After holding it in for a while, someone finally couldn't help but mutter a curse under their breath: "Brother Ji, when did Master Jia... get a woman?!"

Another person was even more shocked: "No way, Jia Ye was being dragged along? He actually let her drag him?"

Zhou didn't speak, only staring at the tall figure being dragged away by the girl.

Xu Yuanjia clearly noticed them.

But just a second before the girl pulled him away, he turned his head and gave Zhou Ji a very subtle look—

No need to follow.

That look was so clear that Zhou Ji didn't dare to move an inch.

The underlings behind him were still muttering, "Isn't Master Jia most afraid of being touched? Last time, that woman got drunk and poured herself on him, and his hand was ruined on the spot."

"So what if he's crippled? Two years ago, there was some clueless guy who handed Jia a room key in the club, and the next day he was thrown into the Mekong River to be fed to crocodiles."

"So, who exactly is this woman?"

Zhou Ji frowned, then suddenly remembered something.

That face...

He felt that the face looked familiar.

It feels like I've seen it somewhere before.

-

Shi Luyu didn't care about anything else.

Only one thought remained in her mind: run.

The Xu family has arrived! She would never mistake those people in black uniforms, or that black badge with a gold snake and eagle emblem!

The darkest memories surged up, chilling her to the bone and making even her breathing falter.

So she grabbed Xu Yuanjia's hand and ran.

She still held the milk tea in her arms, the ice cubes clattering loudly as she dragged him through the crowds in the square, running quickly past the flashing GG signs, and finally plunging headfirst into an unusually quiet dead-end alley behind the mall.

She ran so hard her chest felt like it was going to explode, her steps were all jumbled, until suddenly her wrist was tightened, and in the next instant, she was pulled back.

Xu Yuanjia grabbed her wrist and pulled her to a stop.

"There's no one here, stop running." He lowered his gaze to look at her, his breathing too steady, not even his chest rising and falling, as if the jog he had just run was just a stroll for him.

Shi Luyu leaned against the cold wall, panting heavily, her face deathly pale.

Her hair was disheveled, with a few strands clinging to her sweaty cheeks. She was still clutching the two cups of milk tea tightly in her hands, her knuckles trembling.

Xu Yuanjia lowered his eyes and slowly scanned her from head to toe, a mischievous glint in his eyes: "You're panting like this after just a few steps?"

Shi Luyu had no time for arguing with him; she was still in shock. "Didn't you see those men in black just now?"

Xu Yuanjia gave a lazy "hmm" and finally responded.

Shi Luyu lowered her voice, her eyes still filled with lingering fear: "Those are people from the Xu family, I can't let them see me."

Xu Yuanjia's eyes flickered slightly: "Are you very afraid of them?"

Shi Luyu suddenly got stuck.

Of course, she couldn't tell him the truth; she didn't want to drag this innocent "Brother Jiajia" into what happened that night.

But she couldn't lie, and her expression quickly became flustered. After stammering for a long time, she finally managed to squeeze out, "Anyway, the Xu family is just extremely terrifying."

As she spoke, she became more and more emotional, her eyes even turning red: "They killed and set fires, they committed all sorts of evil deeds."

Xu Yuanjia looked down at her and suddenly chuckled softly. The smile, mingled with the night, sent chills down one's spine.

"Then you didn't think..." He lowered his voice, his magnetic tone deliberately pressing down on her ear, "...that I also have the surname Xu Yao?"

Shi Luyu froze on the spot.

She opened her eyes wide, the color draining from her face little by little, and instinctively backed away.

But there was a wall behind her, with nowhere to retreat. She could only instinctively hug herself, her arms tightening and her shoulders trembling, like a small animal that finally realized it had wandered into the jaws of a beast.

Xu Yuanjia took a step forward.

His tall figure completely enveloped her.

One hand rested on the wall beside her ear, its knuckles long and distinct, while the other hand hung limply at her side, her posture exuding an utterly elegant languor.

But that sense of closeness was utterly devoid of any hint of ambiguity. It was a trap. It was like a hunter cornering his prey and then slowly watching her despair.

He lowered his head, his nose almost brushing against the top of her soft hair, as if he were sniffing something.

"You know what?" His voice was low and deep, with a hint of pleasure in the lingering tone, "The fear emanating from you right now smells sweet."

Shi Luyu's scalp suddenly exploded.

Her whole body went numb, her eyelashes trembled wildly, her back pressed tightly against the wall, and cold sweat slid down her spine.

Too close.

Too dangerous.

She caught an untimely whiff of his cool fragrance, a faint, clear scent mixed with a damp, indescribable chill.

Like a ghost approaching a person in the mountains on a rainy night.

Before she could react, Xu Yuanjia suddenly straightened up and took a half step back.

The oppressive aura surrounding her subtly loosened.

"Just kidding."

He laughed heartily, as if he was quite pleased with her reaction.

"There are countless people in Taimai with the surname Xu." His eyes were languid, and his tone sounded somewhat innocent. "How could my brother be a bad person?"

Shi Luyu was still in shock and doubt, her chest heaving violently, unable to tell which of his words were true and which were false.

Xu Yuanjia looked at her and slowly added, "Your brother just bought you a camera."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, his fingertips lightly touching her hair, and asked in a slow, guiding tone, "Would a bad guy buy you a camera?"

As Shi Luyu stared at the outstretched hand, a sudden thought snapped in her mind.

Suddenly, she grabbed his wrist and bit down hard!

They really gave it their all.

The little rabbit was cornered, and its teeth were bared in fierceness.

She clenched her teeth until they ached, and only when she tasted a faint metallic taste of blood on her lips did she suddenly release her grip.

Xu Yuanjia lazily lowered his eyes, looking at the faint red teeth marks on his wrist, his expression surprisingly unchanged.

It was as if he wasn't the one who was bitten.

On the contrary, he was admiring and praising in an ambiguous way:

"The little rabbit has really sharp teeth."

Shi Luyu's eyes reddened with anger as she glared at him, her voice trembling, "Brother, you've become so wicked!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and ran, rushing out of the alley without even looking back.

Xu Yuanjia did not stop him.

He stood there, lowered his head, and rubbed the teeth marks on his wrist with his fingertips, the smile in his eyes deepening.

A few seconds later, he slowly followed him out.

The alleyway was dimly lit, and his tall, thin figure was stretched long by the streetlights, spreading silently along the ground, just like a ghost crawling out of the damp night.

Shi Luyu walked very fast, as if afraid that something deadly was following her. Xu Yuanjia lagged behind at a leisurely pace, a few steps away, and lazily spoke:

"Slow down, little sister."

"My brother is scared."

Shi Luyu: "..."

Without turning her head, she grabbed her bag, rushed to the roadside, waved down a taxi, and practically pounced on it.

The car door slammed shut, she quickly gave him the address, and the driver sped away.

In the rearview mirror, that tall and handsome figure was still standing by the roadside, looking in the direction she had left, his expression obscured in the distance.

However, Shi Luyu's unease did not lessen.

His words, "My surname is also Xu," were like fine needles, pricking her mind again and again.

She knew he had lied to her later, but she couldn't help but think about it over and over again, and it made her anxious every time she thought about it.

When she got home, took a shower, and lay in bed, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

The night was deep outside the window, and the air conditioner was blowing silently. She hugged the blanket and finally reached for her phone to call Lin Jing.

It rang a few times before the other end answered.

"Lulu? Why aren't you asleep yet so late?"

Shi Luyu's throat felt a little dry, and after a pause, she spoke softly:

"Hello, Mom."

"I want to ask you..."

She gripped her phone tightly, her heart pounding.

"About Jiajia's brother."
