LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 26 - Miss, he didn't do anything to you last night, did he?
The room was silent, only the sound of Xia Chen’s laughter could be heard. With a beauty in his arms, the image was very similar to that of a villain bullying an innocent young girl.
Xiaolian gritted her teeth, her face turning red with anger, but there was nothing she could do. The truth was just as Xia Chen had said: once a battle broke out here, it would definitely attract the best fighters in the capital.
Until then, none of them would be able to escape.
”Young Master, now that you know who we are, why don’t you let me go first and we can sit down and talk?
By now, Qingya had regained her composure. She looked directly at Xia Chen with her bright, wide eyes. She felt that the legitimate son of the Marquis of Zhen Dong, who had been treated with such little importance, had secrets. He was definitely not as unremarkable as what their Royal City Command files had indicated.
‘Can’t we talk in bed?’
Xia Chen’s finger gently stroked Qingya’s smooth back, tempting her. Qingya’s body was covered in goose bumps and her skin turned red. It felt like she had been electrocuted, tingling all over her body. A strange feeling surged through her heart.
Xia Chen was warning her, letting her know clearly that she had already become a prisoner, yet she still wanted to take control of the situation and take the initiative in the conversation.
Young Master, since you have heard our conversation, I will tell you the truth. We did not steal the military defence map, but the Dafeng Inspection and Supervision Court set us up and used us as a scapegoat’.
Why should I believe you? I don’t know who stole the military defence map, but you are from the Royal City Command, that’s a foregone conclusion. And I think that you are not low-ranking in the Royal City Command. It is already a great achievement for me to catch you and destroy this fortress of yours.
Xia Chen smiled. No matter who stole the military defence map, as long as he could hand them over, it would be a great achievement. In that case, why bother looking for someone else?
Qingya and Xiaolian were both silent for a while, unable to argue. For Xia Chen, it didn’t matter whether he arrested someone from the Royal City Command or the Inspection and Supervision Court, it would still be considered a great achievement.
There is another way. The Dafeng Inspection and Supervision Court can plant people in your Royal City Command. I think you should make similar arrangements. Why don’t you give me the information on the distribution of the members of the Inspection and Supervision Court in the capital and produce evidence to prove that the military defence map was not stolen by someone on your side, and I will let you go!
Suddenly, Xia Chen’s voice rang out again. In the room, the two people who had just been plunged into darkness by Xia Chen’s words, Qingya and Xiaolian, immediately had a bright light in their eyes and their emotions were like a rollercoaster with huge ups and downs.
Qingya took a deep look at the young man standing next to her, and she could even clearly feel his breathing.
Not only was this young man exceptionally good-looking, but his ambition to improve himself was far beyond that of others.
The light in Xia Chen’s eyes flickered. This time, being able to catch the Royal City Command was indeed a great achievement, but it was not enough. If the military defence map really wasn’t stolen by the Royal City Command, and as the Lamplighters continued their search, sooner or later they would find out the news, and Xia Chen’s credit for capturing the Royal City Command’s spies would be greatly diminished.
However, if he can be the first to discover this problem and not only wipe out the Royal City Command’s spy network in the capital, but also cause them to suffer heavy losses, then Xia Chen’s credit for capturing the Royal City Command’s spies will be greatly enhanced.
If I can do all that, I should be able to attract the Emperor’s attention!
Xia Chen thought. Of course, he was not just content with destroying the Royal City Command’s stronghold; he wanted to use this battle to advance quickly in his career.
If he succeeds, he will trample the Lamplighters underfoot and attract attention from all sides, but the benefits will outweigh the drawbacks.
There are only five years left, and he is currently only a small seventh-rank commander, so he must rise quickly.
Why should I trust you? I’ll give you the information from the Inspection and Supervision Court, but if you turn around and arrest us, then I’ll have lost completely!’
I can’t prove it to you. The only thing you can believe in is my character. You can choose not to play!’
Xia Chen squeezed Qingya’s smooth chin once more, making her eyes, rippling like autumn water, look into his own. His careless words were full of dominance.
There seemed to be a mysterious ripple in Xia Chen’s eyes that affected Qingya’s thinking and judgement.
Qingya also seemed to see the huge eyes that looked like the Way of Heaven when she entered Xia Chen’s sea of consciousness earlier.
For a brief moment, her thoughts seemed to stop.
There was a long silence in the room and finally a voice slowly came from Qingya’s sexy red lips.
‘Okay, I’ll give you the information on the undercover agent from the Inspection and Supervision Court!’
…
The morning glory is in full bloom!
The sun poured into the room, illuminating it like a golden sea.
On the bed!
Qingya opened her eyes slowly. She felt a wave of tiredness in her mind and body.
Her lower back ached, her legs felt numb, and especially her knees felt bruised, as if she had been kneeling for a long time.
Her consciousness returned to her brain and she remembered what had happened last night.
Suddenly she looked over to her side and saw that there was indeed a man sleeping next to her, with a hand on her waist. It seemed that he had noticed her movement, and the warm hand continued to press, wrapping her soft body directly in his arms.
Qingya felt the man’s hot, broad chest and her cheeks flushed.
She looked down at her body and breathed a sigh of relief. Her clothes were still on, a bit messy, but still the same as last night.
Good morning!
Xia Chen’s eyes were still closed, as if he was still asleep, but his voice came out.
‘You can let me go now!’
Qingya calmed down. Although she used her special status to gather information, she had never let a man touch her body.
From beginning to end, she had remained innocent. Last night, although this man did not force himself on her, they were alone together all night, lying in the same bed, and more importantly, there was physical contact.
Thinking about this, Qingya pursed her lips and looked at Xia Chen with a complex expression in her eyes. Although the final step did not happen, her innocence had obviously been destroyed in the hands of this Imperial Son-in-Law of Dawu.
Not yet, this courtyard is full of your people. What if I let you go and you all come together and tear me to pieces?
Xia Chen still hadn’t opened his eyes, but it was as if he could see everything. He was very cautious, and even though this was the final step, he was not letting his guard down.
Last night had been quiet, and there was a curfew outside, so of course he stayed the night.
‘Is the information I need ready?
‘Xiaolian!’
Qingya felt a hot hand on her waist under the blanket. Her eyes were complex, her cheeks flushed. She took a deep breath, regained her composure and called out for the door.
The door opened immediately. Xiaolian’s eyes were red and murderous as she burst in holding a long knife.
‘Miss, that bastard didn’t do anything to you last night, did he?
