Murder? Framing? Fifteen years in prison? Tsk, tsk, tsk, truly, one cannot judge a book by its cover, nor measure the sea with a dipper!
He had originally thought that Chen Min, that timid coward, was already the ultimate human specimen, capable of personally sending his sister out for self-preservation, which truly redefined the bottom line.
But he never expected that his sister, who appeared as pure as a white lotus, was the truly ruthless and highly skilled one!
Wearing the purest and most innocent facade, she engaged in the most heinous deeds, keeping everyone in the dark.
Exciting! It was so damn exciting!
Lu Xuan put away his phone, his gaze returning to the girl on the bed who was still unconscious.
Under the light, that delicate doll-like face showed a sickly blush, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, like startled butterfly wings.
Looking at her now, this face actually exuded a twisted, demonic charm.
Purity and evil, angel and devil, such contradictory qualities could actually merge so perfectly in the same person.
That slight hint of reluctance he had felt before, thinking she was innocent and merely harmed by her beastly brother, instantly vanished without a trace, not even a speck left.
A great gift delivered to his doorstep; it would be foolish not to accept it.
Moreover, this was a deeply hidden poisonous scorpion beauty, a man-eating flower blooming on the edge of hell.
Lu Xuan walked to the bedside, looking down at her.
He was no gentleman who could remain unmoved by beauty; especially after discerning her shocking secret, a strong emotion mixed with a desire for conquest, revenge, and complete control, surged like magma in his chest.
He leaned down, his long fingers gently hooked her pointed chin, his fingertips feeling the delicate warmth of her skin, yet his eyes were as cold as a poisoned blade.
His movements to remove her clothes were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
The pure beauty, the object of countless finance students' dreams and desires?
Now, she was merely a piece of meat on his chopping block, to be butchered as he pleased.
What he wanted was never simple carnal pleasure, but complete control and crushing from body to spirit!
He wanted to make this selfish and malicious brother and sister understand who would be the god to dictate their fate from now on!
An hour later.
...
Lu Xuan got up and walked barefoot to the bathroom, his steps steady.
Hot water cascaded down from above, washing over his smoothly contoured, powerful body, yet it couldn't wash away the almost perverse pleasure he felt from having everything under control.
The system's prompt sounded in his mind at just the right moment: 【Current Control Value: 10/100】.
【Reward Points: 50】
Indeed, in a coma state, the effect was greatly reduced; only some physical instinctive control value increased.
However, it didn't matter; this bit of control value was just an appetizer, the real show had only just begun.
Her consciousness felt like it was submerged at the bottom of murky, viscous water, struggling to float to the surface.
Her head throbbed, and her eyelids were heavy as if filled with lead.
Chen Xue painstakingly opened a narrow slit, the blurry light stinging her eyes.
Where was this? A luxurious crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, reflecting a hazy glow, and the air was filled with an unfamiliar hotel fragrance...
Fragments of memory began to piece together chaotically: the dazzling night view of the revolving restaurant, her brother Chen Min's hesitant, pained face, and Senior Lu Xuan, with his sunny smile and gentle demeanor...
Oh, and that glass of red wine! She seemed to have only taken a small sip before feeling dizzy, and then... then what happened? She couldn't remember at all!
An indescribable soreness spread through her body, as if her bone joints were filled with glass shards, and even a slight movement caused excruciating pain.
She instinctively moved her legs, and a sharp, tearing pain instantly shot through her, making her gasp.
“Hiss…”
The intense pain instantly sobered her chaotic thoughts.
This was not her dormitory, nor a hospital; this was clearly... a hotel room!
Just then, a soft “click” sounded, and the bathroom door not far away opened.
Through the misty steam, a tall and upright figure emerged.
He was bare-chested, with only a loose white towel wrapped around his waist, and water droplets snaked down his defined pectoral and abdominal muscles.
They disappeared at the edge of the towel, and he exuded a damp warmth from his recent shower, along with an intensely aggressive masculine aura.
It was Lu Xuan!
Chen Xue's pupils suddenly constricted, her mind feeling instantly drained, a complete blank.
She abruptly lowered her head, seeing the disheveled silk sheet on her body, and beneath it, her naked body covered in ambiguous marks...
And on the bedsheet, a glaring, dark red stain, like evidence of a crime...
What had happened was already self-evident!
That meticulously maintained facade of pitiful, sweet, and innocent expression, usually worn, shattered at this moment, revealing the raw horror and towering rage beneath.
“Lu Xuan!” she shrieked, her voice hoarse and unpleasant due to extreme anger and fear, “You bastard! What did you do to me?!”
Like a lioness whose territory had been invaded, she snatched the quilt, tightly wrapping her trembling body, her once clear and bright eyes now bloodshot from congestion, glaring fiercely at the man leisurely wiping his wet hair.
“You beast! I'm calling the police! I'm going to sue you! I'm also going to tell my brother! He will definitely not let you off! Absolutely not!”
Lu Xuan paused his hair-wiping motion, lifted his eyelids, and glanced at her.
His gaze was calm and unruffled, even carrying a hint of mockery, as if he were watching an unreasonable clown.
He walked to the single sofa on the other side of the room, sat down casually, slowly crossed his legs, and a smile of undisguised sarcasm played on his lips.
“Call the police? Tell Chen Min?” He scoffed, his laugh particularly grating in the quiet room, “Chen Xue, little sister, are you still half-asleep? Did the alcohol fry your brain? Do you think, without your ‘good brother’ bowing and scraping and personally delivering you to me, I could have brought you here so smoothly?”
“Impossible!” Chen Xue retorted sharply, her face instantly turning ashen, her body swaying, almost falling off the bed.
“You're talking nonsense! My brother... my brother couldn't possibly do this to me! Absolutely impossible!”
She frantically lifted a corner of the quilt, searching everywhere for her phone; she needed to contact her brother immediately and expose this devil's lie!
Lu Xuan watched her fumbling around on the bed like a headless fly, finding it somewhat amusing.
He took out his phone from his pocket, casually swiped his finger across the screen a couple of times, then raised his hand and dropped the phone with a “thud,” not too lightly nor too heavily, onto the soft mattress.
“Here, stop looking, use mine. You can call the police directly.”
