Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

Shi Luyu was pinned to the pillow by his neck, unable to move. She saw his eyes so close to hers: her pale face was reflected in his dark pupils, which held no warmth, only a savage possessiveness she had never seen on Jiajia's face before.

Her breath suddenly caught in her throat.

It wasn't because of his hands, but because she saw the shadow of another person in those eyes.

Jia Ye.

The man who wore a black eagle mask, forced her into the bathtub, dragged her into a cage, and tore her clothes in the darkness.

That crazy man who pinched her cheeks and asked her, "Did you think I couldn't bear to hurt you?"

She tried to pry his fingers off, her nails digging into his knuckles, but he wouldn't budge; his fingers seemed welded to her neck.

"Brother...why...why are you doing this to me?" Her voice began to tremble, her eyes reddened, and a wave of grievance washed over her. "I was trying to protect you..."

protection.

When these two words reached Xu Yuanjia's ears, his fingers loosened for a moment, and most of the force dissipated.

In that instant, Shi Luyu broke free and jumped off the bed. Barefoot on the cold tiles, she took a step towards the door, but before she could even touch the doorknob, an arm appeared around her waist.

She was pulled back, her back hitting his chest, then flipped over so her back was back against the hospital bed.

He bent down and kissed her.

The atmosphere was heavy, a complex mix of anger and lingering fear.

He bit her lower lip and kissed her forcefully.

Shi Luyu was so breathless from the kisses that she whimpered, but she couldn't move an inch.

He kissed her for a long time, until her struggles went from intense to weak. Finally, he released her lips, lifted his face slightly, and breathed heavily on her face.

"Didn't I warn you?" Xu Yuanjia's voice was hoarse, each word distinct, "You're not allowed to give yourself away to others, you're not allowed to put yourself in danger."

After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her again.

This time it was even more ruthless than before.

Shi Luyu's tears welled up as he kissed her, sliding into her temples and flowing down her earlobes.

On the third kiss, Xu Yuanjia tasted saltiness on his tongue.

He stopped.

He propped himself up, looked down at her tear-streaked face, and frowned deeply.

"But I want to protect my brother too!" she cried, her voice hoarse and broken. "I don't want to see you hurt, I don't want to see you bleed, I don't want to see you lying on the ground motionless... I'm scared..."

She was crying so hard that she was trembling all over, and her face was covered in tears.

"But what's wrong with my brother? When that Jia-ye bullied me, he could calmly comfort me and would come to find me and help me escape no matter what. Why is he so angry now?"

She became increasingly aggrieved as she spoke, and her voice grew louder and louder.

"You clearly said that whatever you did to me, you would respect me and ask for my consent. Now... why are you bullying me like this, brother?"

She sniffed hard, tears still streaming down her face.

"I hate you!"

The screams echoed in the ward, then fell silent.

Xu Yuanjia didn't move. He looked down at her, his eyes shifting and changing color. They were dark and gloomy, like layers of dark clouds piling up before a storm.

Shi Luyu didn't notice any of this. Her heart was filled with the injustice of being wronged and the sadness of being treated roughly. She pushed his arm away forcefully, slid off the bed, and ran barefoot out of the ward.

Xu Yuanjia remained in the position she had pushed away for a long time.

Then he slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, tilted his head, and looked at the door that had been slammed shut.

"Protect?" he repeated the word in a low voice, his tone filled with pure confusion.

What does "protection" mean?

She wants to protect him?

He remembered the way she had spread her arms to shield him. Her body, which seemed as if a gust of wind would topple her, stood between him and the blade.

What gives her the right?

She's so weak, even a black panther can scare her so much she can't stand up, and even Chen Yutang's mother can pin her to the ground and choke her. What makes her think she can protect him?

He doesn't understand.

He was born into a large, bloody family where relatives and descendants killed each other in the struggle for power.

When he was five years old, his mother poured poison into his milk, not because she hated him, but because his existence blocked the path of the son she loved more.

When he was twelve, his father threw him into a wilderness survival training camp and ignored him for three months. When he came back, he was so thin that his ribs were clearly visible, and his body was covered with countless deep scars that revealed the bone.

His other half-brother, now employed by the Gray Raven mercenary group, stormed into his villa to kill him.

This is his world. Family is enemy, blood ties are shackles, and protection is a joke.

But why would this clueless little rabbit protect a demon?

-

For the next three days, the two did not contact each other once.

Shi Luyu moved back to her small apartment.

The wound on her arm was healing well. She kept what happened in the ward to herself, not thinking about it or touching it, and went to school every day as usual.

What she didn't know was that every single day, every little thing, was being reported to another person without missing a single detail.

Zhou Ji stood in Xu Yuanjia's study, holding a newly compiled report in his hand, his tone as flat as if he were reading a textbook.

"At nine o'clock this morning, Ms. Shi went to the color composition class at the design school and sat in the third row by the window. During the break, she went to the corridor to get a glass of warm water and did not talk to anyone."

Xu Yuanjia leaned back in his chair, his eyes half-closed, making it impossible to tell whether he was listening or not.

"At 11:40 a.m., she ate lunch at the school cafeteria. She had scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried vegetables, and a bowl of rice. She didn't finish it; about a third of it was left."

Xu Yuanjia tapped his fingertips lightly on the armrest.

"From 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., she was developing photos in the photography club's darkroom. Her instructor said her composition had improved and suggested she sign up for the young photographers' exhibition next month."

Zhou turned a page.

"At 4:30 p.m., she went to the convenience store near the school gate and bought a box of strawberries and a can of sparkling water."

He finished reading, closed the report, and waited.

Xu Yuanjia took a long time to open his eyes: "That's it?"

That's all for now.

"What about the injury on her arm?"

"The dressing has been changed, the wound is healing well, and there is no inflammation."

Xu Yuanjia remained silent. Zhou Ji stood still for about half a minute, and only after confirming that there were no further instructions did he silently leave.

……

Until Saturday afternoon, Xu Yuanjia was in his study reading documents.

There was a knock on the door, more urgent than usual. Zhou Ji entered, his expression grim: "Sir, something's happened with Miss Shi!"

Xu Yuanjia raised his eyes.

"Miss Shi went to the border area this morning."

Zhou Ji's voice quickened a bit, "Her recent filming theme is villages along the border. Today, she went with a local guide to the area where three countries meet."

Xu Yuanjia put down the documents in his hand.

Zhou Ji spoke even faster: "Her original plan was to visit relatives in a neighboring province, but she got off at the train station halfway through, saying she saw a picture of a border village and wanted to take pictures there. She messaged her roommate saying she would be going back two days later, and then she went with the tour guide."

He paused for a moment:

"That area is ostensibly the border of three countries, but it is secretly occupied by various forces. More importantly—Xu Chenglin's army is stationed there."

The moment the last few words were spoken, Xu Yuanjia stood up.

Xu Chenglin was the one who sent his legion to assassinate him, but failed.

The chair slid backward as he stood up, bumping into the bookshelf with a dull thud.

"You're only reporting now, you fucking idiot?"

The man's voice wasn't loud, but the low pressure carrying a murderous intent sent a chill down Zhou Ji's spine.

Zhou lowered his head and spoke even faster: "It was my fault. Miss Shi made a last-minute decision to get off the bus while visiting relatives. Her cell phone signal had been stuck in a town called 'The Three No-Man's-Land' since 10 a.m. Our tracking system responded immediately and triggered an anomaly alert."

Xu Yuanjia swept the pen holder aside and pulled out a map, spreading it on the table. His finger touched the area, his knuckles turning white:

"Where exactly is Xu Chenglin's base located?"

Zhou quickly pointed out a coordinate on the map.

Xu Yuanjia stared at the coordinates for two seconds, then pushed his chair back and strode towards the door.

He walked twice as fast as usual, and Zhou Ji almost had to jog to keep up.

"How many people are you bringing?" Zhou asked.

"all."

"Should we notify them—"

"Shut up." Xu Yuanjia interrupted him, her footsteps unwavering, her voice coming from the other end of the corridor, cold and devoid of any warmth.

"Before I get there, I had my spies keep a close watch on her. If she loses even a single hair, I'll turn Xu Chenglin's camp upside down and burn it down."

Zhou responded and took out his phone to dial a number.

Xu Yuanjia had already reached the garage door. He opened the driver's side door, got in, and started the engine in one smooth motion.

The black car sped into the afternoon sunlight, heading towards the border.
