Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

Chapter 35 Goodness, they're all bad people

After Chen Yutang was dragged away by several burly men in black, an eerie silence quickly fell over the corridor. Only a few messy water streaks on the floor and the lingering scent of face powder remained in the air.

Shi Luyu stood there, clutching the camera tightly to her chest, her knuckles turning white. Her mind was still blank, and Chen Yutang's desperate plea, "Please say something nice to him," kept echoing in her ears.

Whom is she asking for help from?

Who is that "he"?

Shi Luyu's heart was pounding wildly. Just as she was about to turn around and leave the logistics passage, her shoulder almost bumped into a tall figure.

She gasped in fright, looked up, and realized that Xu Yuanjia was leaning against the wall at some point.

The man was dressed in a black suit, half of his body bathed in the dim light, his posture relaxed, his demeanor elegant and refined.

Shi Luyu, still shaken, asked, "Brother, what are you doing here?"

Xu Yuanjia looked up at her and said casually, "An outstanding student of the school, on the list of invited guests."

"Oh..." Shi Luyu said, still looking somewhat dazed, while holding her camera.

Xu Yuanjia looked at her for a while, then a slow smile crept onto his lips, as if casually teasing, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy about Chen Yutang's fate?"

Shi Luyu paused for a moment, finding his statement rather strange.

"It's not about whether I'm happy or not." She frowned slightly. "I just never imagined she would turn out like this."

She looked down at the camera strap, her voice lowered. "She was indeed very unreasonable before, but... how did she suddenly offend the Xu family?"

Xu Yuanjia didn't respond immediately. His gaze fell on her face, easily discerning the lingering fear and inappropriate sympathy in her expression, and his eyes darkened.

That's just how she is; even when she gets pushed into the mud, she'll still look back to see if anyone else has broken anything.

Foolish enough to be soft-hearted.

It's so stupid it makes you want to mess with it.

Shi Luyu finally came to her senses and looked up at him: "Brother, you don't seem surprised that she turned out this way."

"Have you already heard about her?"

In the brief moment of lowering his eyes and furrowing his brows, the man's face showed no trace of amusement. He lowered his thin eyelashes, his expression perfectly innocent, and even his voice became slightly lower: "I just found out myself."

As he spoke, he seemed genuinely frightened, letting out a lazy sigh, "How terrifying."

"Don't mess with the Xu family anymore." He looked down at her, his voice gentle as if coaxing her, but his words held a hidden meaning. "Lulu, don't worry about unimportant people. Protect your brother more."

Shi Luyu was taken aback by his words and couldn't help but mutter softly, "Doesn't my brother also have the surname Xu?"

Xu Yuanjia chuckled softly, "I'm different from them."

As he spoke, his hand naturally landed on her waist, gently pulling her half a step closer to him. "Goodness, they're all bad people."

He tilted his head to look at her, his eyes gentle, his voice low as if he were defending himself.

"My brother is a good person."

Shi Luyu's ears burned, and she was about to retort when she suddenly heard the voice of a photography club student from behind:

"Luyu! Are you over there? The vice president is looking for you!"

Shi Luyu quickly turned around and replied, "Coming!"

She then looked at Xu Yuanjia and said softly, as if to comfort him, "Brother, you go ahead first, I need to go film."

After saying that, she grabbed her camera and hurriedly ran to the front hall.

Behind her, Xu Yuanjia glanced down at the empty embrace.

The carefree and nonchalant look in his eyes faded away.

The man turned his head, his gaze sweeping over one of the men who had dragged Chen Yutang away. His gaze was light, yet chilling.

Like a silent command descending from the clouds.

The man in black immediately lowered his head, his back tense, not daring to look at him, and respectfully replied, "Yes."

Xu Yuanjia withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.

Once his figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, the man in black raised his hand, signaling others to take the nearly out-of-control Chen Yutang into the dressing room. He then took out a sedative he had prepared beforehand and ordered the others, "Master Jia thinks she's too noisy."

Chen Yutang struggled and cried twice, but was quickly pushed back into the chair.

-

When the party officially began, the front hall was resplendent with gold and jade, and all the undignified things were hidden behind the curtain.

The stage lights shone as board members, guests, and representatives of the academic foundation delivered speeches. A line of hostesses stood beside them, smiling, carrying plates, offering flowers, and guiding the guests.

Shi Luyu was taking pictures with her camera when her fingertips suddenly stopped as the lens swept across the row of hostesses.

It's... Chen Yutang!

She was actually assigned to one of them.

The woman had reapplied her makeup, making it almost impossible to tell she had been disheveled. Only her eyes had changed; they were now blank and empty, as if her soul had been ripped from her. She carried the tray, her movements mechanical and obedient, her smile frozen on her face like a mask forcibly pasted on.

Shi Luyu felt a chill run down her spine.

At this moment, murmurs broke out again from the crowd behind them:

"Her father was dealt with at the dock last night, all of the Chen family's accounts were frozen, and their house was confiscated."

"How arrogant was she in school? Now she doesn't even dare to cry loudly."

"I heard that the Xu family came to the school in person today, which means this matter is not over yet."

Shi Luyu held her camera, her eyes fixed on Chen Yutang on the stage. The image that flashed through her mind was that of Master Jia wearing the Black Hawk mask.

Soon, a middle-aged school board member with a hypocritical smile walked up to the ceremonial team.

The man had the typical features of a middle-aged Southeast Asian man: a wide face, small eyes, and a greasy yet respectable smile. Under the guise of accepting the wine, his hands lingered too long on Chen Yutang's shoulders, back, and waist.

Chen Yutang's body clearly showed extreme resistance.

But she dared not hide, and could only wear an extremely ugly smile, looking incredibly tormented.

The person behind her whispered again, "Chen Yutang used to call this school board member 'Uncle'."

Another person clicked their tongue: "She's going to be her uncle's plaything tonight."

No wonder Chen Yutang was so resistant to that man.

Shi Luyu felt a tightness in her chest. Even though she used to hate Chen Yutang, she couldn't feel any schadenfreude at this moment.

Just then, applause suddenly erupted from the VIP seats in the front row.

Xu Yuanjia stood up from his seat.

He was dressed in a suit tonight; broad-shouldered and long-legged, with a clean and upright figure. As he walked out, the light in the entire venue seemed to naturally gravitate towards him. The host announced his name, calling him "Outstanding Student Representative of the Year" and "Recipient of the Academic Fund Youth Honor."

Shi Luyu quickly raised her camera and stepped forward, joining several other classmates to take pictures in front of the stage.

In the shot, Xu Yuanjia stands on the stage, a medal pinned to his chest. The light shines on his profile, revealing his cool and aloof features, a subtle, enigmatic smile playing on his lips. He is radiant, dazzling, and truly a prodigy.

As the photoshoot was nearing its end, the vice president of the photography club came over and whispered a message to them.

"The school is giving all clubs a three-day holiday. Our club has decided to go to Suwan Island Nature Reserve for a photography trip. It's a three-day closed-off trip, and we're leaving tonight."

Shi Luyu was taken aback: "Tonight?"

"Yes, the car has been arranged. We'll meet at the school gate after the party."

Shi Luyu unconsciously tilted her head and glanced at the middle-aged school board member not far away, who was embracing Chen Yutang, as if he was taking her to see someone. Chen Yutang was stiff and struggling, her fingers gripping the edge of the tray, her face full of reluctance.

But the next moment, she felt as if she had been stabbed by something extremely terrifying.

She didn't even have time to feel disgusted with the school board member; she hurriedly hid behind the man, her face pale and her eyes almost unfocused with terror.

Who is Chen Yutang afraid of?

Shi Luyu turned around in confusion, following Chen Yutang's gaze.

Xu Yuanjia had already walked up behind her, still with that nonchalant and aloof demeanor, his eyes gleaming with disdain, seemingly annoyed by the crowded and noisy environment.

Could it be... that Chen Yutang is afraid of Jiajia?

Last time in the abandoned bathroom, Chen Yutang and her gang bullied her, and it was Xu Yuanjia who saved her and taught those people a lesson. But Shi Luyu remembered very clearly that he didn't lay a hand on Chen Yutang at the time.

Why is she so afraid?

The question had just risen in my mind when a scream suddenly pierced the auditorium.

Shi Luyu turned her head at the sound and saw Chen Yutang suddenly break free from the school board member's hand and rush out of the crowd. She stumbled a few steps in her high heels, her dress skirt was trampled and bent, and she almost knelt down in front of Xu Yuanjia.

"I'll never do it again!"

She clasped her hands together, rubbing them frantically, her makeup ruined from crying.

"Please, spare my family... I promise I'll never do it again!"

Chen Yutang looked up, tears streaming down her face; fear had completely overwhelmed her reason.

"Xu Yuanjia..." She had just called out the name when she seemed to suddenly realize something, her whole body trembled violently, and she immediately and carefully changed her words, crying so hard that she could hardly breathe.

"Oh no... Master Jia!"
