Tangling with the Western Commander - Chapter 370

Chapter 370: Chapter 367

A girl’s piercing scream completely shattered the peace within the house.

Li Zaijun’s face was pale, a numb feeling spreading from her fingertips. It was as if a buzzing sound filled her head, and she felt herself on the verge of collapsing.

Yes, witnessing this scene forced her to ponder deeply.

The fragmented images and blurred memories from the previous night gradually surfaced, those moments before she lost consciousness were all so terrible, chaotic, unbearable.

So, what had happened to her now was self-evident, wasn’t it?

No.

It couldn’t be that, could it?

She just felt unwell, her head heavy, and the most crucial part–

Her fingers trembling lightly, she slowly pulled back the covers.

And–

Before her gaze could even drop to her thighs, a striking red on the white sheets caught her eye.

Her pupils tightened abruptly, staring at the red on the sheets. She was breathless, her face instantly drained of all color.

Her thick eyelashes quivered slightly.

If before, she still held a sliver of hope, seeing this scene now made her last bit of hope completely crumble.

She clenched the covers tightly, her slender fingers tense and turning slightly white, her short hair disheveled, and tears uncontrollably circling in her pretty, expressive eyes.

She bit her lip hard, completely enveloped in desperation.

She knew her sister-in-law had come to rescue her last night, but afterward, she stumbled away and didn’t know where she had ended up.

But she vaguely remembered there seemed to be a man with her all the time.

However, who was that man…?!

Li Zaijun’s tears couldn’t help but continue to fall.

She thought the ordeal of being set up by a friend and nearly assaulted by her scumbag ex-boyfriend was already bad enough yesterday.

But she hadn’t imagined there was something even worse waiting for her.

Her body had been taken by a stranger.

Though she couldn’t remember clearly what exactly had happened last night,

the scene before her eyes proved everything.

Yet, as she stubbornly bit her lip, her little hand wiping her eyes against her tears–

In the bathroom of the room.

There was a first aid kit placed on the washbasin.

Inside, there were bandages, iodine, and everything else needed.

And on the man’s slender wrist, there was a bloody gash.

Even though it had been treated yesterday, after a whole night of caring for her and struggling, the fresh blood had started to seep out again.

Even the bed had a few stains on it.

She was too restless.

Shen Lin wrapped his wound neatly, and after finishing up, he pinched his somewhat tired brow and opened the door to leave.

Click–

As the door opened, Li Zaijun, who was just getting out of bed, froze in place.

She slowly raised her eyes.

And just watched the man, clad in a white robe, emerge from the bathroom.

His legs were bare below, and around his neck hung a smoky gray towel.

His hair was still slightly damp, obviously having just taken a shower.

Shen Lin emerged and immediately noticed the girl trying to get out of bed. In an instant–

In that moment, their eyes met.

The next second, the room once again erupted with the girl’s screams…!

…

Away from this area.

In a courtyard,

Wen Xian hadn’t slept all night. As soon as the door of the east wing room opened and Lu Xiao appeared, she quickly got up, eagerly asking,

“How is it, any news about her?!”
