C14 Two of His Clothes Were Stripped off
Fu Yuanxi didn't want to experience the terror he imagined. If he didn't get an answer, he'd be in trouble later.
"Here's the situation: when we arrived at the scene, Boss, you were already... um, you were..."
Fu Yuanxi felt a jolt of unease, a bad feeling creeping in.
"What happened?"
Lun took a deep breath, deciding not to hide it any longer.
"You had been stripped!"
Fu Yuanxi's mind went blank for a moment, and then that voice echoed in his head again.
"I guess I'm your lifesaver now. Since that's the case, you should help me."
"I need to get out of here, so I borrowed your clothes."
Fu Yuanxi's eyebrow twitched sharply, and he felt a reaction in a certain part of his body. The woman's voice resurfaced in his mind.
"Oh my gosh, I didn't mean to touch your... well, you were unconscious, so you wouldn't know. But let me be clear, it wasn't on purpose, so don't hold me responsible."
Fu Yuanxi squeezed his eyes shut to regain some composure, but that part of him remained stubbornly upright. He casually nudged the blanket with his foot to cover up, hoping Lun wouldn't notice.
"Get Zhou Jianli to see me!"
No matter his physical state, Fu Yuanxi's voice remained steady, earning Lun's silent admiration. Truly a boss—anyone else would be furious to find out they'd been stripped while unconscious.
Lun gave Fu Yuanxi a strange look before turning to walk out the door. He was pondering whether his boss, who always seemed so pure and untouchable, had actually been taken advantage of. Every time he considered the possibility, an inexplicable thrill ran through him.
Why the thrill? Well, if you've been oppressed by someone for a long time, you'd probably feel the same way.
Fu Yuanxi had no idea what Lun was thinking. If he did, he might have wanted to strangle him right then and there.
Before long, a man in a red suit, with a refined appearance but shifty eyes, walked in. His demeanor suggested he wasn't as polished as he seemed.
Seeing him, Fu Yuanxi got straight to the point: "What did you find out?"
Zhou Jianli immediately responded, "We haven't identified who was behind it, but we've got those involved under control. I think..."
Fu Yuanxi cut him off, "What I want to know is, who entered that room?"
After saving him, someone had stripped him of his clothes! The thought left Fu Yuanxi unsure whether to laugh or be angry.
Zhou Jianli's expression changed instantly, as if he wanted to laugh but managed to hold it back. At the time, when they had kicked the door open, following Fu Yuanxi's urgent text, they found him covered with a blanket. As Zhou Jianli approached and pulled back the cover...
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but break into a sweat. He absolutely couldn't let him know that he was the one who uncovered that blanket.
"BOSS, a casino boss was killed at that hotel the other day!"
Fu Yuanxi paused, his eyes suddenly sharp as he looked at Zhou Jianli. "Are you saying you don't know who she is?"
Zhou Jianli lowered his head at the question. "We reviewed all the hotel surveillance, but aside from her back, we couldn't see her face, and..."
Fu Yuanxi fell silent. Even if her face had been visible, it might not have been her real appearance.
Fu Yuanxi licked his lips. No matter who she was, he would find her.
Fu Yuanxi always felt that if they ever crossed paths in a crowd, he would recognize her instantly. From that moment on, she would be his.
