Chapter 3 Night Raiding a Man's Room

Bai Ruoxi was thrown against the wall of the room, her back hitting the wall and causing her pain. She let out a cry of surprise, and the deafening sound of the door slamming made her tremble, leaving her in a state of panic. A dark shadow loomed before her as the man pinned her against the wall, looking down at her from a higher position. The action was swift, leaving her no chance to react. She could only feel the dangerous aura emanating from the man, his anger rising rapidly. His cold gaze could intimidate anyone, and she felt uneasy, unable to move as if she had been paralyzed. In Bai Ruoxi's eyes, the man's body was as strong and massive as a mountain, and his invisible threat made her tremble with fear. Qiao Xuanshuo's gaze was filled with anger and desire, his Adam's apple moving up and down sensually. His voice, unexpectedly husky and magnetic, warned her word by word, "I don't care if you're a prostitute or not, but if you dare to dress like this in my army, I'll throw you into the sea." Bai Ruoxi's fingertips trembled as she pulled down on her clothes, her face turning red at the thought of being seen like this by Qiao Xuanshuo and his comrades. She felt embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry... I... I heard your voice just now and got too anxious, forgetting about my appearance. I hope you can give me five minutes, I want to talk to you." Qiao Xuanshuo sneered sarcastically, "You dress like this and you want five minutes with me? It will take at least fifty minutes." Fifty minutes? Bai Ruoxi looked puzzled, staring at the man's cold and frosty face, but his eyes were burning with desire. "What my brother means is that he's willing to talk to me..." Bai Ruoxi suddenly felt the man's rough hand touching her leg, and she was so frightened that her voice stopped and her face turned pale. Her body stiffened, and the next second she pushed with all her strength against the man's chest. Through the white military uniform, she felt the strength of his solid muscles, and she couldn't budge him at all. But she felt him becoming more and more audacious. "Smack." A crisp slap echoed. Bai Ruoxi's slap landed hard on the man's resolute cheek. The air instantly became heavy, and the world fell silent, blank and icy. In that moment, Bai Ruoxi was stunned, unable to believe that she had actually struck Qiao Xuanshuo. Tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to spill over. Her hand trembled, her heart ached, and it was a piercing pain. How could she bear to hit this man? But why did he have to mock her like this? Qiao Xuanshuo released his grip and took a step back, using his tongue to touch the cheek that had been slapped. It seemed painless and it brought out a wicked and chilling smirk. The man's casual and frivolous appearance couldn't hide the anger burning in his eyes. Suddenly, he grabbed Bai Ruoxi's neck with one hand, the force not heavy but enough to make her face turn pale and her body stiffen. His icy tone sent chills down her spine as he said word by word, "Playing such a perverted game with a man on a ship, and now pretending to be innocent? Dressing like this, aren't you just trying to seduce me?" Biting her lip, Bai Ruoxi clenched her fists, trembling with anger. The softest part of her heart felt like it had been torn apart, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't utter a word. Qiao Xuan narrowed his cold eyes, his voice low and frivolous, "I only talk to women who lie in my bed. If you're ready, come find me anytime." Leaving behind these cold words, Qiao Xuanshuo turned and left without hesitation. Bai Ruoxi's clenched fists dug deeper into her palms, wishing she could draw blood. Tears filled her eyes, silently sliding down her fair cheeks. - The night was dark and the wind was high, the sea breeze howling. Soldiers stood guard all over the warship, but a petite figure sneaked along the corridor, moving forward stealthily. She skillfully avoided the guards and quietly slipped into a dark room, carefully closing the door. Bathed in the dim night light from the window, the small figure approached the edge of the bed. Thinking she had gone unnoticed, little did she know that the man sleeping on the bed had already woken up the moment she opened the door. He pretended to be asleep, breathing evenly. Every movement and stillness of the shadow was under the man's watchful eyes. Just as the man was wondering about her intentions, he heard the sound of clothes, and suddenly, a click. He realized that something was amiss and sat up abruptly. But it was already too late. "Don't move." Bai Ruoxi's clear and decisive voice rang out. In the dim night, she could see that she had already reached for the pistol placed beside her, aiming it directly at the man who had sat up. The man couldn't help but let out a cold smile, underestimating the woman's intentions. He calmly spoke, his magnetic voice incredibly sexy and deep, "Do you know who you're pointing the gun at right now?" Bai Ruoxi pretended to be calm and said word by word, "Yes, the man I'm pointing the gun at right now is my stepfather's third son, my third brother Qiao Xuanshuo." "And?" The man asked calmly, without a sense of urgency, while Bai Ruoxi's hand holding the gun trembled. "And... he is also the highest commander of the special forces in the Xiguo military." Bai Ruoxi swallowed hard, because with just this one crime, she could spend her whole life in prison. The man let out a cold chuckle, a contemptuous sound coming from his nose. He raised an eyebrow as he looked at the shadow in front of him, easily able to subdue her, but he was curious about why Bai Ruoxi, who didn't even care about her own life, had come to his room. "Lie down and raise your hands." Bai Ruoxi held the gun with both hands, giving orders. The man's lips curled up slightly, his dangerous gaze sharp in the dim night. He obediently lay down, placing his hands on top of his head, crossing them. Bai Ruoxi didn't dare to relax for a moment. She slowly climbed onto his bed, her nerves on edge, her breathing becoming heavy. She pressed the gun against the man's abdomen and lay down beside him. Qiao Xuanshuo furrowed his brows, looking at the woman beside him in surprise. This was not what he had imagined. After Bai Ruoxi settled down, she slowly said, "Brother, since you like to have conversations with women in bed, I am now lying on your bed. Let's talk." The man remained silent, his masculine aura refreshing and pleasant. It had been affecting Bai Ruoxi's senses all along. This was the first time she had lain on this man's bed, so close to his body, feeling his breath, his warmth, his presence. It felt like a dream, so unbelievable. Bai Ruoxi was so nervous that her whole body trembled slightly, her heart pounding violently. She used all her willpower to keep herself calm. Clearing her throat, Bai Ruoxi began to talk about the matter at hand, "Brother, my mother is a kind woman. She would never kill her own sister-in-law, let alone kill your aunt for no reason." "Besides, my mother is such a smart woman. If she had committed murder, she would have taken care of the crime scene. How could she leave the murder weapon, her phone, and her coat with her fingerprints at the scene? It's clearly a frame-up." The man remained silent. "Brother, are you listening?" Bai Ruoxi looked up and saw that the man had closed his eyes, breathing evenly as if he were asleep. "Brother?" The man's hoarse voice murmured, "What brand of shower gel are you using?" "Huh?" Bai Ruoxi was dumbfounded. "It smells nice." Bai Ruoxi felt annoyed, "What are you thinking? I'm talking to you about my mother's situation." "I'm thinking that you're going to have a hard time next."
