Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

Shi Luyu held onto the car seat: "Don't shout."

"Where did you come from?" the driver asked in terror.

"In the car," the girl said casually.

"I know you were in the car!" The driver's face turned pale. "I'm asking you how you got in!"

Shi Luyu glanced at the road behind her and said, "Stop the car."

"Don't stop! There are still people checking people down the mountain!" The driver turned and glared at her: "Who exactly are you?"

Shi Luyu pulled a banknote from her pocket and handed it over, saying, "Take me to the foot of the mountain."

Upon seeing the money, the driver's voice immediately lowered, "That's all?"

"How much more do you want?"

"Miss, this road is very dangerous."

Shi Luyu narrowed her eyes, her mind replaying several of Xu Yuanjia's crazy expressions from his daily life.

She tried to mimic the madman, sneering, "You didn't even know I was in the car just now, do you want me to call back now...?"

"..." The driver was silent for a moment, then took the money away.

There's a market after you turn the corner; I can only take you that far.

"Can."

Shi Luyu sat in the passenger seat, took out a baseball cap from her bag and put it on.

The vehicle continued downhill. Looking in the rearview mirror, she saw that there were no cars chasing her on the mountain road for the time being, and her tense shoulders and back finally relaxed a little.

But she didn't dare to really relax.

Zhou had already discovered that she had left.

He just didn't know exactly where she went.

The surveillance alarm might be an accident, or it might be a deliberate interference; she was certain Zhou Ji would soon figure out the cause and effect.

Forty minutes later, the truck arrived at the market at the foot of the mountain.

As early morning arrives, vendors gradually open their stalls, and motorcycles and minibuses are parked along the roadside. The air is filled with the smells of damp mud, spices, and fried food.

Before Shi Luyu got out of the car, the driver suddenly grabbed her, "Wait."

She turned around and frowned at him.

The driver pulled his hat brim down further: "There was a message coming from the mountain earlier, saying they're looking for a young girl."

Shi Luyu's eyes narrowed slightly. "Did he say anything else?"

"Not yet, but they've instructed all stations and intersections to keep an eye out for people coming down the mountain alone."

She opened the car door and said, "Okay."

"Are you just going to leave like this?"

Shi Luyu was getting impatient. "Is there anything else?"

The driver held out his hand: "Information fee."

Shi Luyu looked at him for two seconds, then pulled out a smaller banknote and slapped it into his hand. "Don't say you've seen me before."

After saying that, she jumped out of the car and blended into the crowd.

She didn't head towards the station. Since Zhou Ji was checking people coming down the mountain alone, the station would definitely be the first place he was watching.

She walked along the busiest street in the market, using the stalls to shield her view, and bought a plain-colored long coat at a clothing store.

She went into the cramped fitting room, stuffed her gray sports jacket into the store's old bag, and tied her hair back up.

When I came out, there were already two black SUVs at the street corner.

Shi Luyu saw Zhou Ji get out of the car through the rows of clothes racks.

He appeared calm and composed, and he was accompanied by only two people.

They did not block off the market, nor did they conduct a high-profile search. Zhou Ji first walked over to the vegetable delivery truck and spoke a few words to the driver.

The driver shook his head, his expression natural.

Zhou Ji looked at him for a moment, raised his hand and patted the roof of the truck, then turned and walked into the market.

Shi Luyu felt a tightness in her chest, hunched over, and clutched her bag tightly as she left through the back door of the shop.

The alley was narrow, leading to another street. She had only walked a dozen meters when a bodyguard suddenly appeared in front of her.

The other person hadn't noticed her yet; they were comparing the intersection's surveillance footage with their phone.

Shi Luyu immediately turned around.

Soon someone caught up behind her. The footsteps were clear and strong; she could hear them.

Shi Luyu steadied herself, glanced around, and pushed open the door of a small restaurant next door.

The shop wasn't officially open yet; the proprietress was wiping the tables.

"The restroom," Shi Luyu said softly, "I need to use it."

The proprietress pointed inside.

She walked through the kitchen, only to find the back door locked.

There was another alleyway outside the window. But the windowsill was too high, and it made a noticeable scraping sound when it was pushed open.

The footsteps outside had stopped at the restaurant entrance.

"Have you seen a young girl wearing a hat?" someone asked.

The proprietress replied, "There were a lot of people this morning, I didn't notice."

Shi Luyu stood in the kitchen, her fingers gripping the window frame.

Climbing out the window would definitely attract attention. Staying here, the bodyguards will come in to check sooner or later.

Her old phone suddenly vibrated.

There was no signal on the screen, but a pre-set local notification popped up.

She was stunned.

That wasn't her setting!

The reminder contained only four characters:

Don't sit in the expensive seats.

Shi Luyu stared at the screen, her mind quickly scanning the vehicles on the street.

Don't sit in the expensive seats.

Minibuses, taxis, and private cars will all be inspected.

What kind of car is the cheapest, yet nobody wants to ride in it?

Suddenly, an exaggerated loudspeaker blared from the alley entrance.

"Make way, make way—I'll take the blame for hitting anyone blocking the way!"

The bodyguards outside were drawn by the noise. Shi Luyu also peeked out from the crack in the kitchen door.

A three-wheeled motorcycle with peeling paint was parked crookedly in front of the restaurant. Several strings of plastic woven bags were hanging on the back of the vehicle. The man in the driver's seat was wearing a pair of huge sunglasses, his floral shirt was unbuttoned at the top two buttons, and he had an unlit cigarette in his mouth.

He yelled at the proprietress, "Auntie, do you still want the pork offal I ordered yesterday? If not, I'll sell it to the neighbor next door!"

The proprietress yelled, "What's all this noise so early in the morning!"

The man grinned, but his gaze went past her shoulder and landed precisely on Shi Luyu in the kitchen.

It only paused for a moment.

He then casually raised his voice: "Whose bag of trash is that by the back door? It's blocking my car!"

Shi Luyu immediately understood. She picked up the black garbage bag from the corner of the kitchen, lowered her head, and walked out through the side door.

The man didn't even look at her, but impatiently knocked on the truck bed, "Put it in the back."

Shi Luyu threw the garbage bag up there.

Hearing the man lower his voice, a smile still playing on his lips, he said, "Get in the car."

Shi Luyu didn't move, her eyes filled with vigilance, her voice wary: "Who are you?"

The man pushed up his sunglasses, smiling slyly. "Get in the car first, then ask."

Zhou Ji's voice could be heard from the alley entrance: "Has there been any investigation afterward?"

The man yanked off the tattered canvas covering the truck bed. "If you don't get on, the fare will double."

Shi Luyu glanced at him, then finally climbed into the truck bed. The canvas fell down, completely obscuring her figure.

The three-wheeled motorcycle then started, emitting a pungent black smoke.

The man smiled innocently at the bodyguard blocking his way, "Brother, move aside."

"Pig offal left in the water for too long can stink worse than a dead person."
