"The First Boss told you to raise your head, what are you dawdling for?" the plump woman urged.
Wen Yan glanced at the plump woman. Seeing that she didn't suspect her identity, she slowly raised her head.
The First Boss took a few quick strides and stood right in front of Wen Yan.
Up close, the First Boss was even more satisfied. His gaze towards Wen Yan carried an unconcealed dark desire, looking as if he wanted to tear her apart right then and there.
"Send her to my room!" the First Boss ordered, then left.
The dark-skinned woman grabbed a set of clothes and led Wen Yan to the First Boss's castle.
She handed Wen Yan over to the guards inside the First Boss's castle.
"This is the woman the First Boss requested for tonight. Simon, take her to his room."
The dark-skinned woman handed the sexy nightgown in her hands to Wen Yan. "Change into this once you're in the room, and serve the First Boss well tonight."
Wen Yan nodded obediently.
After the dark-skinned woman left, Wen Yan followed Simon upstairs.
Looking at Simon's back, she felt he looked faintly familiar.
Simon took a few steps and then turned back to glance at her.
His gaze was incredibly sharp.
Wen Yan touched her nose.
[Damn it! Has this guy seen through my identity?]
Simon led Wen Yan to a room on the second floor. After Wen Yan went in, just as she was about to close the door, a large hand suddenly pressed against the doorframe.
Before Wen Yan could even react, the man squeezed his way in.
"You..."
With a thud, the man pinned Wen Yan's slender shoulders and pushed her against the doorframe.
Wen Yan blinked. "Hubby?"
The man's eyes grew even colder as he lowered his voice. "Why did you come here?"
Wen Yan, "..."
[Holy crap! This guy really is my husband. I'm way too lucky, bumping into this dog of a man right after arriving.]
Wen Yan immediately reached out both hands, taking the initiative to wrap her arms around the man's lean waist.
"Boohoo, Hubby, we haven't seen each other for a month, I missed you so much..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the man lifted her out of his embrace.
His dark eyes glared at her fiercely, his tone more vicious than ever before. "Are you crazy? Don't you know what kind of place this is? The desert is littered with bleached bones, and the castle is full of the most atrocious criminals. Do you have any idea what will happen if you fall into their hands?"
Si Moyan was in disguise, so his original facial expressions couldn't be seen clearly, but from his violently heaving chest, it was obvious he was extremely angry.
"The men here only treat women as outlets for their lust. Once they get tired of playing with them, they throw them to their subordinates. You'd beg for life but not get it, beg for death but not die. The final outcome is being tortured to death alive—"
Wen Yan picked at her ear. She simply stood on her tiptoes and blocked the man's endlessly chattering thin lips.
[Oh my, how did this dog of a man become so naggy?]
[We haven't seen each other for a month, shouldn't he be missing me like crazy?]
Si Moyan pushed away Wen Yan's small face. He looked at her with his sword-like eyebrows tightly knitted. "Do you even know how dangerous it is here?"
Wen Yan hooked her arms around the man's neck, her face full of smiles. "Don't you know your wife's capabilities yet? Only others suffer losses in front of me. How could I ever let anyone take advantage of me?"
Seeing the worry and concern revealed in the depths of the man's eyes, Wen Yan kissed his thin lips. "Alright, don't worry about me for now. You've been investigating here for a month, did you find anything?"
Si Moyan gave a low hum of agreement. "The IBI sent an undercover agent here four years ago. I've already made contact with him and will meet him later. If everything goes smoothly, I'll be able to leave soon. Be good and go back first, don't make me worry, okay?"
Just as Wen Yan was about to say something, the sound of steady and powerful footsteps came from outside.
The First Boss was coming.
Seeing that he was about to reach the door to the room, Wen Yan had a sudden flash of wit and pushed Si Moyan into the bathroom.
The bathroom was very large, complete with a showerhead and a bathtub.
In a desert region, having such a large bathroom was already the height of luxury.
Wen Yan pushed the window open. "Leave through here!"
Si Moyan's sword-like eyebrows knitted tightly. "The First Boss isn't that easy to fool. I'm afraid you—"
"Don't worry, I have my brilliant tricks. Don't forget, I'm a miracle doctor. I even research things that can make men hallucinate."
The very moment the First Boss pushed open the bedroom door, Si Moyan jumped out the window.
"Beauty, I can't wait any longer."
Wen Yan said in a charming and sweet voice, "First Boss, wait for me on the bed. I'll come right over as soon as I wash up."
Seeing Wen Yan acting so natural and poised, without the slightest bit of coyness or reluctance, the First Boss's interest grew even stronger.
The women they had abducted in the past would all kick up a huge fuss crying for life and death, which completely ruined his appetite just looking at them.
Every time he finished venting his lust, he would reward those weeping and wailing women to his subordinates.
This time, he had actually encountered a different kind of woman.
The First Boss lay on the bed, and before long, Wen Yan walked out.
She had washed her face and let her long hair down, looking bright, beautiful, and exquisite.
The First Boss's Adam's apple bobbed. He couldn't wait to grab her hand and pull her against his body.
A faint, refreshing fragrance assailed his nostrils. The First Boss's Adam's apple bobbed again as he pressed the woman's head down and kissed her fiercely.
Wen Yan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the First Boss who was passionately kissing a pillow, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up.
Very quickly, the First Boss took off his clothes. Wen Yan didn't spare him another glance. She bent down and felt a bunch of keys from the waistband of the First Boss's pants.
Wen Yan took the keys and went downstairs.
Si Moyan was no longer downstairs; he must have gone to meet that undercover agent.
Following the instructions Dabai gave her, Wen Yan walked towards the castle's armory.
The things inside the armory possessed enough power to destroy the entire globe.
This was also the biggest reason why the criminal syndicate had never been wiped out.
Without finding the secret location of the armory, no one dared to rashly destroy this place.
Upon arriving at the armory, Wen Yan was just preparing to sneak in when suddenly, an alarm sounded.
Instantly, countless death warriors rushed out.
Goosebumps erupted all over Wen Yan's body.
She hurriedly retreated backward.
But those death warriors gave chase.
Seeing that she was about to be caught, a slender hand suddenly reached out and pulled her into a room.
"Hold your breath, don't make a sound." A female voice sounded softly above her head.
Wen Yan immediately held her breath.
The pursuing death warriors stopped outside the room.
After about two minutes, the death warriors left.
By the moonlight shining in through the window, Wen Yan clearly saw the person who had saved her life just in time.
She widened her eyes in shock. "Jiang Shuyin?"
No, no.
When she came to the Black Desert, Jiang Shuyin had clearly stayed behind in Ye City.
It was impossible for her to appear here, let alone save her!
The woman looked at Wen Yan, a trace of confusion in her eyes. "How do you know my name?"
Wen Yan asked, "Is your name really Jiang Shuyin?"
Actually, after observing her carefully, Wen Yan realized that the woman before her was even more elegant and exquisite than the woman in Ye City.
The woman nodded. "I am Jiang Shuyin. How do you know my name?"
Wen Yan pursed her lips. "I am Si Moyan's wife, Wen Yan."
The woman was even more astonished. "You are Brother Yan's wife?"
Wen Yan nodded. "Who is the woman in Ye City who looks exactly like you?"
The woman's previously gentle expression suddenly changed.
A chilling aura began to seep from her. "Are you talking about Jiang Shuyinn? The 'Yinn' with the grass radical!"
"Jiang Shuyinn?"
Wen Yan immediately checked her system.
[Jiang Shuyinn is actually Jiang Shuyin's twin sister. The two sisters were abandoned at an orphanage right after birth. Later, Jiang Shuyin was adopted by the Jiang family, while Jiang Shuyinn was adopted by a couple abroad.]
[Jiang Shuyin thought her sister was living a good life abroad. It wasn't until she was eight that she learned her sister's adoptive parents had a son and had given her away to a bachelor. Her heart ached for her sister, and she wanted to bring her back to the country, but the Jiang parents disagreed. She could only send all her pocket money to her sister far away abroad, and she even named her Jiang Shuyinn.]
[She thought her sister was as kind and patriotic as she was, so she shared all her secrets with her. Little did she know, her sister had long since changed beyond recognition.]
While Wen Yan was checking Jiang Shuyinn in the system, Jiang Shuyin also recounted what happened back then.
"Jiang Shuyinn is very smart. She imitated my every move, and knowing my secrets, she successfully replaced me. Using my identity, she harmed Brother Yan and his teammates. After doing all that, she knocked me out and sold me to a crime syndicate in the Black Desert. For the past few years, I've been imprisoned here!"
Wen Yan saw the red marks on Jiang Shuyin's neck, and her heart tightened.
Over the years, could Jiang Shuyin have been reduced to a plaything for those criminals?
Jiang Shuyin looked down at her neck and curled her lips in self-deprecation. "I don't know if I should call myself lucky or unlucky. After coming here, I caught the eye of The Fourth Boss and became his exclusive canary. These past few years, I've only served him."
Even for a woman as aloof and strong as Jiang Shuyin, thinking of the humiliation she had endured over the years, she couldn't help but tear up.
"By the way, why are you here? Is Brother Yan here too?"
Wen Yan nodded. "When I see him, I'll tell him the real Ah Yin is here."
Jiang Shuyin grasped Wen Yan's hand. "Don't worry about me. The people in this place are psychotic. You're so beautiful, you need to get away from this dangerous place as soon as possible."
Wen Yan looked at the aloof yet kind woman in front of her, feeling incredibly moved.
When she saw the Jiang Shuyinn in Ye City, her first impression wasn't very good.
But for the real Jiang Shuyin in front of her, she felt a genuine fondness and heartache from the bottom of her heart.
"If I can get away, I will definitely take you with me!"
Just as Wen Yan finished speaking, the sound of an engine suddenly came from outside.
Seeing the man stepping out of the car, Jiang Shuyin's pupils shrank. "The Fourth Boss is here, leave quickly through the back door!"
As soon as Wen Yan left, the man forcefully pushed the door open.
The man was tall, upright, and ruthless. His falcon-like eyes held not a trace of warmth, and his entire body exuded a fierce, murderous aura, as if he had waded through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
"I haven't been here for a few days. Did you miss me?" he asked in a cold voice.
Jiang Shuyin replied with a frosty expression, "No!"
The man chuckled. "But my body missed you."
With that, his rough fingers pinched Jiang Shuyin's chin, and he kissed her roughly.
