On Thailand's Koh Chang, the sun is scorching, the sea breeze is slightly salty, white waves are lapping against the soft sandy beach, the coconut trees are lush and green, and the palm trees cast mottled shadows.
On this pristine island, only a few places near the coast are open to tourists, while the rest of the island has retained its original and mysterious jungle.
No one knew that there was a huge private estate built in the jungle.
Inside the holiday-style villa, the room temperature is nearly ten degrees lower than outside, and even slightly lower than the normal human body temperature.
The decoration style is cool and cool, with white and cement gray. On the black sofa, sits an expressionless man, his tea-brown eyes staring at the huge projection screen in front of him. The Buddhist beads in his hand are made of the finest imperial red sandalwood, with a warm patina and rich color.
The projection screen was divided into two, one on the left and one on the right, projecting two beautiful girls with their hands tied behind their backs on the chairs.
"Has the effect of the medicine not worn off yet? Why hasn't he woken up after such a long time?" Bai Shouye asked calmly, twirling the Buddhist beads in his hand nonchalantly.
The subordinate standing beside him glanced at the time and bowed his head respectfully, "Master, the time has come. He should wake up soon."
As soon as the words fell, the two girls in the video slowly opened their eyes.
The moment Yana opened her eyes, she felt that she was tied up and unable to move. She was so scared that her face turned pale, "Zhan Peng... Zhan Peng..."
She didn't know why, but her first reaction was to look for Zhan Peng. Maybe she didn't even realize that the security that man brought her had made her deeply dependent on him.
Bai Shouye frowned, raised his hand, and rubbed his temple lightly with the Buddhist beads, obviously having anticipated the girl's reaction.
Unlike Yana, Nanxi didn't show much emotion when she opened her eyes. After all, this was not the first time she had experienced such a thing, and her mind and courage matured quickly in a short period of time.
She struggled twice but couldn't break free, so she simply calmed down and began to look around.
The house is not big, with a typical Thai country wooden house architectural style. There is not much furniture around. When I looked up, I only saw a surveillance camera mounted in the corner.
The girl's eyes were clear and beautiful. Even Bai Shouye, who prided himself on being pure and unselfish, felt his heartbeat slow down when he saw these eyes that seemed to be filled with stars through the screen.
Balu is a tough guy with a tough mouth and a tough heart. I didn’t expect that his taste in women is also so tough.
With such a beautiful woman, it’s no wonder that he would make a soul contract with her and use his life as betrothal gift when they got married in the temple.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that this woman would also become his death warrant.
The girl on the screen had a cold expression on her face. She stared at the surveillance camera for a few seconds, her mind racing. She was kidnapped by a group of guards in the small bamboo building. These people must be coming for Baru. She guessed that someone on the other side must be watching her reaction, and she opened her cherry lips slightly.
"Send your master out to see me."
"Not bad, interesting." Bai Shouye raised the corners of his lips slightly.
She had seen all kinds of women, prostitutes in the red-light district, self-righteous ladies of wealth and power, smooth-talking socialites, and even princesses from the royal family. In his eyes, those women were all the same.
They are pretentious, greedy for money and love sex. In short, they are all vulgar and boring.
Unexpectedly, kidnapping the woman of his mortal enemy gave him a different understanding of women.
The girl was so scared that her face turned pale, but she still pretended to be strong. It was rare for her to calm down in just a few seconds.
"Go, let Garo in."
No one responded to Nanxi's words. She closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down.
These people did not kill him directly, but went to great lengths to kidnap him. They must have a purpose, most likely to threaten Balu.
In this way, they should be safe until Balu shows up to deal with them.
Where's Yana? Where's Yana?
Just as I was daydreaming, the wooden door creaked and was opened from the outside.
Still no one was seen, but a crocodile crawled in from the door.
The girl, who was tied up and unable to move, had her pupils trembling and her hairs standing on end.
In the past, she would have screamed, but now she understood that these useless reactions would only make her opponent more excited.
She clenched her hands tightly behind her back, remained motionless, and held her breath, watching the crocodile approach little by little.
Nan Xiaoxi, don't be afraid. If they wanted to kill you, they would have done it long ago. This must be their way of destroying your heart. Maybe they are recording it now, letting Baru see you being scared out of your wits by the crocodile, and use it to achieve their goal.
Be strong, you must be strong, don't be afraid, they don't dare to let the crocodile bite you.
Although her eyes were filled with tears of rationality, her body was stiff, and her lips were bitten with red marks by her pearly teeth, the girl sitting upright in the chair remained silent.
The man on the other side of the surveillance camera stared at the screen intently, watching the beautiful girl close her eyes and let Gala approach without making a sound.
He fiddled with the Buddhist beads in his hand rapidly, then suddenly stopped, narrowing his narrow eyes.
"Go, invite this girl to the study."
#######
The quiet and simple study is decorated in a typical Chinese style. The floor-to-ceiling bookcase made of pure nanmu is filled with various Chinese classics. On the Ming-style tea table, there is a complete set of top-grade Ru kiln tea sets. On the left is a chessboard, with the white and black pieces on the verge of a tense situation, and it is difficult to tell the winner. On the right is an electric teapot with boiling water.
Nanxi was blindfolded and taken to the door. The blindfold was removed after the door was opened.
She looked straight ahead and only walked in after the guard at the door raised his hand to invite her in.
Across from her sat a man in his thirties, backlit. He was wearing a fine white shirt, with a resolute expression and a calm demeanor. His brown eyes held a faint, cold smile. Upon seeing her enter, he raised his right hand, adorned with Buddhist beads, and gestured, "Please sit down."
Nanxi walked slowly forward, pulled out an armchair, and sat opposite the man.
Bai Shouye raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly, then took the teapot and started to brew tea. The surroundings were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The pale blue Ru kiln teacup was filled with the warm and fragrant top-grade Laobanzhang tea. The man opposite spoke again.
"My name is Bai Shouye. May I ask your name, young lady?"
The girl opposite had cool, moist eyes and a bit of arrogance. She raised her hand to pick up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and placed it back on the table.
"The kidnapper doesn't deserve to know my name."
Bai Shouye pursed his lips and smiled, drank a sip of tea, and looked up at the girl with unique temperament in front of him, with a strange feeling rising in his heart.
"There's a reason for this. I just wanted to invite Chief Baru to come over and have a seat."
Nanxi sneered. Her grandfather was a top official in the Yuncheng Military Region before he retired. Her father had businesses all over the world. Her brother was a big shot in the Southeast Asian business world. She had seen many greasy old men like this who were deliberately mysterious. Although this old man looked decent, he was okay at fooling young girls who had never seen the world, but he was not good enough to fool her.
"Then why don't you tie him up?"
