The young master in the golden robe raised the curtains and sat on the big bed. Leaning back, he looked at the lady who was still kneeling on the ground. Calmly, he asked, ”Still not coming over?”

The lady obliged with a hum, and made her way towards the man, head lowered and kneeling. She reached out her fair hands and put one of the man's legs on the supporting stand, removing his boots gently.

Suddenly, with a thud, the master kicked the lady's shoulder. Although he did not use much force, he managed to kick her hand away. The lady froze, trembling. She knelt on the ground, not daring to look up.

The master sat on the bed and looked at the lady, frowning. His expression was solemn and seemed to carry a tinge of anger, a tinge of disappointment, and an even more implicit hint of relief. There was no need to look anymore. The man raised his head slowly and stared at the roof.

He had worried too much. If it was her, how could she be captured so easily by others? Even if she was injured, she would have escaped. How would she be serving another person with such respect?

As for that female assassin earlier on, that last sound, and that agile exponent… At this instant, he was eighty percent sure of that person's identity!

Thinking of this, he felt frustrated. Had the rain caused him to become dumb? Even so, he did not order his able subordinates and the residence guards to apprehend the assassin. For a moment, he was not able to understand his real intentions. Was he afraid of inviting more trouble? Was it because he was still 20 percent uncertain? Or was it that he did not wish for her to be captured by others?

He did not think any further. He stood up and took big strides towards the pool behind the screen, undressing himself and throwing his robe on the ground. He wore a white robe on the inside, his hair scattered behind his back. His face was white, his lips were red, and he gave off a charming look, radiating a handsome aura.

It was just a woman after all!

He thought to himself, I only want to get back what belonged to me.

Under the flickering lights, the master removed his inner robe, revealing his athletic shoulders. He walked towards another room behind the screen and opened the door. The steam surged out from the other room, making the ambience even more intimate.

Chu Qiao's head was lowered, not daring to look the man in the eye. Yes, this woman in the red robe was Chu Qiao. The guards from the residence had just assembled outside the room. She was fully aware that she would not be able to break out of the room alive even if she had an AK607 submachine gun.

Driven to desperation, she could only resort to disguising herself as the woman originally inside the room by putting on her outfit. She had prevailed in her gamble, managing to deceive Tian Chengshou. Additionally, the well-skilled man in front of her evidently had no interest in her.

Chu Qiao smiled, feeling proud of herself. She hoped that the man, who had repeatedly ruined her plans, was not after lust. She hoped that she would be chased out of the room by the man after a lecture, so that she would be able to walk out openly.

”You, come over.” Tragedy struck. As Chu Qiao was laughing to herself, a low voice echoed out from the other room. ”Help me rub my back.”

Chu Qiao's expression become complex. Frowning, she considered whether to sneak into the room and finish him off with one swift stab. However, what the man uttered after that calmed her nerves down.

”You can leave after that.”

The lesser troubles, the better. Chu Qiao joyfully stood up and walked into the room with the humility and grace of a slave.

As she opened the door of the steam room, a gush of warm air welcomed her. White steam was everywhere, making it hard for her eyes to remain open, and to breathe. Chu Qiao frowned. As she prepared to enter the room, the man said in a low voice, ”Remove your shoes.”

Chu Qiao felt a feeling of warmth from under her feet. Her shoes had been drenched. She hurriedly retracted her legs and removed her shoes, entering the room barefooted.

The steam room was big—bigger than the bedroom outside. From outside, no one would have imagined such a big room was hidden behind the screen. In the center of the steam room, there was a hot spring comparable to a swimming pool. The three walls around the spring were flanked by four statues of beautiful women, carved out of white jade. They were half naked and in seductive poses. The hot water flowed out behind the twelve statues into the pool, following the flow of water towards all corners of the room, and finally out of the steam room through the drainage system.
