A bonfire party had everyone thoroughly enjoying themselves, and Lu Chen had even drunk quite a few cocktails, leaving him rather tipsy. Liu Sha suggested they stay the night instead of going back.
Looking at the time, it was already past eleven. No problem, they'd stay.
However, Lu Chen was still hoping to stay with Xu Jiaqi. He found the guest rooms quite luxurious; the round bathtub in the bathroom was as big as an average person's bathroom. How wonderful it would be to take a bubble bath together with Jiaqi! It would truly be a worthwhile experience.
However, things didn't go as planned, as his father was there, making it inconvenient.
Liu Sha arranged a guest room for each of them.
Lu Chen, of course, wasn't giving up. He chuckled, "Once everyone calms down, I'll call Jiaqi. Either I go to her place, or she comes to mine. How comfortable! I can still enjoy myself." After the guest rooms were arranged and everyone settled in, Lu Chen's heart was pounding with anxiety. He was just about to call Xu Jiaqi when suddenly, with a whoosh, something darted in through the open window!
Then, with a thud, the thing was embedded in the wall cabinet, still swaying.
Lu Chen jumped in fright. Damn! What was that? A throwing knife? And a piece of paper stuck to it? Was this the legendary flying knife message? This was too unbelievable!
Lu Chen was very cautious. He rushed to the window and carefully peered outside. He was on the second floor, and outside was a lush forest; he couldn't see anything.
However, that person could very well climb a tree and throw a knife here.
Lu Chen frowned. He remembered that in martial arts novels, flying knife messages were usually warnings, saying that there was danger in your current location and you needed to evacuate immediately to avoid bloodshed or something. Could it be?
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, a murderous glint in his eyes. Whether it's Liu Sha or Frank, they want to deal with me? Hmph, not so easy! He pulled out his throwing knife, unfolded the paper, and froze.
Inside the paper was a pair of men's swimming trunks, and on the paper were three crooked Chinese characters: Swimming Pool.
The handwriting was delicate, almost like a woman's. However, it was clear this person didn't know how to write Chinese.
Who is it?
Lu Chen scratched his head. A swimming pool? And they're sending me swimming trunks? Is this an invitation for me to go swimming? A message delivered by throwing knife to invite me swimming? And swimming trunks too, damn, this is interesting?
Lu Chen was always bold and skilled, and he already had some guesses. He smiled frankly, muttered, "Who's afraid of who?" With that, he grabbed the swimming trunks and strode out.
When he came back, Lu Chen had already seen where the swimming pool was.
The swimming pool was quite large, and shaped like an "S," its curves quite beautiful when viewed from above.
It was late at night, and the pool was quiet; it didn't seem deserted. Lu Chen was startled. Was someone playing a prank on him? Suddenly, there was a splashing sound on the surface, and Lu Chen's eyes widened.
Wow, what a beautiful sight!
Two slender, snow-white legs suddenly emerged from the water, seemingly piercing the night sky, then swung their arms across the surface, sending up streaks of shimmering white light.
Lu Chen swallowed hard.
Those legs were so long and beautiful. Those two delicate pink feet, glistening with water, looked like two white lotus flowers just emerging from the water. These two enchanting legs danced on the water, displaying breathtaking poses, completely on par with national-level synchronized swimmers. It was clear they had received professional training.
Lu Chen's mind was filled with fantasies. How beautiful it would be if those two snow-white, soft legs were wrapped around him!
Two or three minutes later, the two white legs suddenly retracted, and then, apart from ripples, the water remained still.
Lu Chen took a deep breath and calmed down.
He realized it was indeed that person who had summoned him. That person was, of course, the ruthless and cunning beauty, Liu Sha, the first leader of the third generation of John Wen.
Lu Chen had always been wary of this beauty and quite disliked her. Now, seeing her summon him to the swimming pool, in the dead of night, with two long, white legs suddenly appearing!
Something was definitely amiss.
Lu Chen stood awkwardly with his arms crossed.
Not long after, there was another splashing sound on the surface of the water, and Liu Sha's head emerged. She didn't just surface; she leaped out of the water, half her body above the surface.
Lu Chen was instantly dumbfounded. Holy crap! That was incredibly sexy! Those two jade-like breasts, at least an E-cup, were encased in two pieces of lace. What was the difference between that and not wearing anything at all?
No, there was a difference!
It was far more alluring than being naked!
And that serpentine, snow-white waist—it was irresistible!
Lu Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath and asked casually, "Miss Ryusha, what brings you out here in the middle of the night? If there's nothing else, I'm sleepy and need to go back to sleep."
Ryusha tilted her head back, tossing her wet hair behind her, sending countless glistening water droplets flying.
This was truly the signature move of all beautiful women, a classic, especially when Ryusha used it now, causing her…that alluring thing to sway rhythmically, almost melting Lu Chen's heart. No! I must control myself. That's a femme fatale; I absolutely can't let her bewitch me.
Lu Chen even bit his tongue.
Ryusa, seemingly oblivious to Lu Chen's words, softly asked, "Mr. Lu, can you swim?"
Lu Chen scratched his head: "A little."
"Then put on the swimming trunks I gave you and come in!" Ryusa smiled sweetly. "If you're not very good at it, I can help you. I'll protect you. I'm an excellent swimmer; I've crossed many small straits, some over ten kilometers long."
That sounds impressive. However, what worried Lu Chen wasn't the swimming pool, but Ryusa.
Heaven knows what she's up to.
"No need," Lu Chen said calmly. "Miss Ryusei, just say what you need to say. After you're done, I need to go back and rest. I'm really quite tired."
"You seem very afraid of me? Or rather…hate me? Dislike me?" Ryusei tilted her head and asked, "Just because I sent assassins to kill you?"
Lu Chen said coldly, "I was just one of the lucky ones who weren't killed by you. As for those who weren't so lucky, there seem to be many others, aren't there?"
Ryusei giggled. "So that's how it is. So Mr. Lu is blaming me for killing those doctors who could have cured my grandfather's illness. But I had no choice. Mr. Lu, if you were in my position, you would have done the same, I think. You know, it's not that I didn't want to save my grandfather, but that I didn't want those who are already dead to come back to life!"
Her tone turned serious: "Do you know? Among my ancestors were some truly terrifying figures. Several of them were behind-the-scenes strategists for the fascist forces during World War II, providing high-tech support for their massacres and brutal warfare. If they were to be resurrected, they would severely suppress me and cause immense trouble for the world."
Lu Chen listened, somewhat stunned. That serious?
"Therefore, I will absolutely not allow them to be resurrected, I will absolutely not allow my brother Frank and his gang of radicals to succeed. I had to kill those doctors, and I secretly paid their families very generously. Sometimes, you have to be ruthless, because it's for the peace and safety of more people."
Ryusa spoke with great conviction.
Lu Chen scratched his head, sighed, and didn't know what to say.
Perhaps, this woman had a point?
Ryusa continued, "However, I'm glad I didn't kill you, and I'm glad we can form an alliance. The purpose of calling you here tonight is to express my apology and gratitude. I hope our relationship can become even closer in the future. If you're willing, I don't mind using my body to compensate you, or to repay you!"
As she spoke, Ryusa leisurely climbed ashore.
Oh my god! Lu Chen's eyes widened. The piece of cloth below was clearly a matching set with the top.
"I wonder if Mr. Lu has ever seen a woman with such a great figure as me?"
Ryusa's question was incredibly seductive! As she spoke, she deliberately swayed her body slightly, fully displaying her alluring side, making Lu Chen feel like his nose was about to bleed.
And her words, of course, made a man's blood boil even more.
However, Lu Chen continued to take deep breaths and restrain himself. He had a feeling that this woman's scheme wasn't so simple; there was a hint of conspiracy in it. No, he absolutely couldn't let herself be captured by her.
"I want to be a man of principle!"
Thinking to himself, Lu Chen coldly said, "Miss Liusha, no need to be so polite. I think you should thank our middleman, Miss Yang Jiangyu. As for your offer to compensate me with your body, thank you, but I'm not a casual man." With that, he shrugged and turned to leave.
Actually, he was conflicted, wishing he could just let things slide.
After all, she wasn't just any beauty he'd seen on the street; she was a beauty who could definitely stand at the top of the international stage!
Suddenly, he felt a whoosh of wind behind him, followed by the sensation of two large breasts jumping onto his back. Liusha had pounced on him and hugged him! She whispered in his ear, "Mr. Lu, I'm not a promiscuous woman. I've been with a few men, but in China, you're the first man I've ever set my sights on! Don't reject me..."
She sighed softly and whispered, "At least swim with me!"
As she spoke, she was already pulling Lu Chen back, like a female leopard dragging her prey. This was a stunningly beautiful woman, over 1.8 meters tall, even shorter than Lu Chen! With this pull, his feet immediately left the ground. Lu Chen's mind was in turmoil; he simply couldn't resist such a beautiful body.
But at the crucial moment, he restrained himself! He shouted, "Miss Ryusha, please let me go! No!"
Shouting, he tried to break free from Ryusha's embrace, but suddenly felt Ryusha's body sway, and he swayed along with her, then with a splash, he fell into the water.
It turned out that Ryusha had dragged him to the edge of the pool.
She twisted her body and fell into the water with him in her arms!
