The water poured down in a pitter-patter.
Jiang Chen turned off the faucet, shook off the water droplets on his hair, and walked into the bathroom. He grabbed a towel from the clamp and wrapped it around his body.
After the shower, he felt much better, as if the smell of alcohol and drowsiness were washed away.
It was just that there was a faint fragrance in the bathroom, which made people feel a little embarrassed. While he was thinking, Jiang Chen used the towel to wipe his head.
But as he was wiping, his hands suddenly stopped.
This towel … was used by Xia Shiyu, right?
When he thought about how this towel had once wrapped a pure and clean flower, and how it had wiped the dew off its branches and leaves countless times …
Looking at the towel in his hand, Jiang Chen's expression instantly turned awkward.
But at this moment, a blurry shadow suddenly appeared on the frosted glass of the bathroom door. Jiang Chen wanted to stop it, but the bathroom door was pushed open first.
Ka.
Xia Shiyu, with a haggard face, struggled to support herself against the door frame. Just as she wanted to enter, she froze in front of the door.
The unclean thing that appeared in her field of vision made her temporarily lose the ability to think.
It was hard to describe the expression on her face. Should it be sleepy? Or shocked? Or angry …
Silence lingered between the two.
"Hi." Jiang Chen awkwardly broke the silence. His hand quietly moved the towel to cover his indescribable body.
Perhaps it was because she was drunk, or perhaps it was because the image was too impactful, Xia Shiyu didn't scream. Instead, she calmed down and silently closed the door.
Looking at the closed door, a bitter smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face.
"Uhh … maybe I should have screamed?"
In for a penny, in for a pound. Since he already used it, and it was seen, he might as well clean it up.
Jiang Chen shamelessly continued to wipe his body clean with the towel. Then he rubbed the towel in the sink for her before he put on his clothes and left the bathroom.
Turning around the corner into the living room, Xia Shiyu was already sitting on the sofa. When Jiang Chen came out, her eyes immediately locked onto him.
Just as Jiang Chen was prepared to be called a "pervert" and a "pervert", the anger he expected didn't come.
"Uh, aren't you going to ask something?" Jiang Chen's hair stood on end as he carefully sat across from her and asked apologetically.
Xia Shiyu still didn't say anything. Through the moonlight outside the window, one could see that on her cold face, her red lips were slightly trembling.
Too angry to show it?
Jiang Chen racked his brain but couldn't figure out what this girl was thinking. After the proud and arrogant iceberg beauty woke up, she found herself lying on the bed with her clothes in a mess. The first button on her collar was undone. Then, she found a man (pervert) using her bathroom to take a bath. He was even holding the towel that she had been using …
No matter how one looked at it, she was definitely in a bad mood.
"Um, you're drunk," Jiang Chen explained awkwardly.
It was hard to tell if she was in a daze or thinking about something.
"I saw you lying on the table, so I carried you back. Your car is still there. Remember to drive it back tomorrow. "Seeing that she didn't respond, he continued.
"Why?" Xia Shiyu seemed to have reacted to this sentence as she murmured in her sleep.
"Why? Is there a need to ask? "Jiang Chen forced a smile." I can't leave you there by yourself. Living alone and getting drunk, you should be more careful. If a human trafficker appeared and pretended to be someone you knew, you wouldn't even know if he sold you to the mountains. "
Xia Shiyu looked over and stared straight into Jiang Chen's eyes.
The silence lasted for a long time before she suddenly asked, "Will you come and save me?"
Jiang Chen was stunned by the abrupt question as he pondered for a moment.
"I will."
"Why?" It was still the same dreamy voice.
Was it anticipation? Or perhaps just confusion?
"Do I need a reason?" Jiang Chen let out a sigh and asked back.
Humans were not creatures that followed absolute rationality, so why should they be excessively demanding for reasons?
Xia Shiyu was obviously not satisfied with Jiang Chen's answer. The pair of cherry lips were pressed together and the slightly dull pupils looked like she was still drunk.
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Jiang Chen coughed and continued.
"You're drunk. Don't drink so much next time. Go to sleep. "
Although he didn't know why she was so confused, from her reaction, she shouldn't be angry.
She stood up shakily. Just as Jiang Chen let out a sigh of relief and thought she was going to go back to her room to sleep, she walked around the coffee table and stood in front of him.
"Who do you like?" The voice reeked of alcohol, but the tone had some of the "authority" of CEO Xia.
The incoherent question made Jiang Chen pause again.
With a bitter smile, he didn't answer. He didn't know how to answer.
In fact, behind the scenes at the press conference, he vaguely sensed Xia Shiyu's feelings for him.
Although she always put on a cold face that kept people a thousand miles away, her heart was still like a child.
As to why he said that, it was because only a child would mistake coldness for maturity.
If it was someone without integrity, it would be fine. But Xia Shiyu …
She definitely wouldn't accept the person she liked having another woman, or even a "normal" woman. Jiang Chen asked himself. He did have feelings for her, but it was only a good feeling. If he had to give up something for her, he couldn't do it.
"I." Jiang Chen hesitated, but the next words were stuck in his throat.
"I don't want to hear it." She shook her head, her slightly messy hair swaying.
Suddenly, she did something that made Jiang Chen dumbfounded.
A fair hand stretched out, and two slender fingers actually boldly pinched his chin.
Jiang Chen stared blankly at the pair of starry eyes. Her lips slightly opened and closed as they slowly moved closer.
Logic told him that she was drunk and he should wake her up.
But looking at the seductive redness that was slowly moving closer, he couldn't say a word.
A devil-like thought circled in his head. Jiang Chen gulped.
Since she was the one who initiated it, if he just pretended not to know …
But at that moment, the phone's ringtone broke the silence. Xia Shiyu's movement suddenly stopped. Her intoxicated eyes gradually regained a hint of clarity as she looked at Jiang Chen in front of her.
"I, need to take a call." Jiang Chen awkwardly got up and ran away.
Xia Shiyu stood in the same spot, dumbfounded. Her face gradually turned red. Even under the dim moonlight, it was clearly visible.
[What did I just do?]
The heat in her body caused a layer of sweat to form on her back. The alcohol immediately dissipated along with the sweat, and she also sobered up a little.
Without thinking too much, she dashed into the bedroom without looking back.
Bang!
The sound of the door slamming came from behind her. Xia Shiyu escaped into the bedroom.
Jiang Chen forced a smile and looked at the phone.
It was Ayesha.
Jiang Chen put his hand on the wall and pressed the answer button.
"Hello? What's up? "
The fact that Ayesha called at this time made him feel something was not right.
…
With the stick in her hand, Yan Xiaoyan gently pushed open a door.
No one.
She shook her head at the teammates behind her as she signaled Lu Dahu to walk to the bedroom next door.
Even if she suppressed her footsteps, her sneakers still made a slight noise when they touched the expensive wooden floor.
Because they weren't sure which bedroom Jiang Chen was sleeping in, they could only use the dumbest method and search room by room.
Zhang Chao stayed on the first floor to prevent Jiang Chen from escaping. At the same time, he turned on the signal jamming device to prevent the target from calling for help or calling the police.
Standing in the empty living room, Zhang Chao looked around.
The bright green field of vision in the night vision device made the darkness less eerie.
He looked at the home theater on the wall and was shocked.
"An 85-inch 4K UHD large-screen smart TV and a f * cking home theater. I'm afraid this set will cost hundreds of thousands," he muttered to himself. He was also quite nervous.
It was his first time kidnapping someone, and the person he kidnapped was not a nobody, but the president of Future Technology with influence and money.
Now, he could only pray that Xiaoyan could make a clean move and not let that Jiang Chen see their appearance. Otherwise, Jiang Chen would have a hundred ways to make them leave Wanghai.
They didn't have the intention to kill him.
Just as he was struggling, a sudden gust of wind hit the back of his neck.
Before he could react, he lost consciousness and fell unconscious to the ground.
On the other side.
Yan Xiaoyan already arrived at the third floor.
To increase efficiency, she and Lu Dahu agreed to split up.
Just as she entered the gym, which was the room that had been lit up earlier, she felt a sudden sense of danger. Without any time to think, she swung the baton behind her.
"Sou!" The sound of something tearing through the air could be heard. This attack had clearly missed. Ayesha easily dodged the attack as her eyes moved with a cold glare.
Yan Xiaoyan knew something was wrong as she lifted her knee to block, barely managing to block the lightning-fast whip kick.
"Ouch!"
An excruciating pain came from the bone in her calf.
Cold sweat rolled down from Yan Xiaoyan's forehead as fear flooded her mind.
They were not on the same level. She had played in the national tournament before, but even in the final match against the champion, she had never felt such power.
Yan Xiaoyan quickly backed up as she was already leaning against the window.
The bright moonlight spilled into the room as she felt her field of vision suddenly brighten.
Yan Xiaoyan ripped off the annoying night vision goggles and only left the mask on her face as she stared at the girl approaching her.
The girl was not tall and could even be described as petite. Her long curly hair was tied into a ponytail, and she had an exotic face. But that was not the point. What made Yan Xiaoyan flustered was that those cold eyes looked as if they were looking at a dead person.
The murderous intent was serious!
