Chapter 6: That Scar
617 Words
Gu Beicheng: "That's all I could find out for now. What do you want to investigate her for?"
Shen Lingyan: "Everything."
Gu Beicheng: "Got it. I'll dig deeper and get back to you."
Lin Sa stood under the shower spray, rinsing her body. The water temperature was very high, causing the bathroom to fill with steam.
She opened her eyes and looked at herself in the foggy mirror across from her, still able to make out her exquisite figure through the haze.
Tao Tao had often commented that Lin Sa had an enviable figure, with curves in all the right places.
After washing away the soap suds, Lin Sa turned off the water. Instead of immediately drying off, she walked up to the mirror and used a tissue to wipe away the condensation, standing stark naked before her reflection.
Her gaze focused on the worm-like scar across her chest. She stared at it for a long while, raising her hand to trace along its raised ridge.
The protruding scar was quite noticeable and jarring. As her fingertips slowly grazed over the raised line, flashes of that night's events replayed in her mind - the blood in her mouth, the screams of bystanders, and the man who had collapsed onto her.
Recalling those images, Lin Sa's fingers pressed down harder on the scar. In the mirror, she could clearly see the murderous glint flickering in her eyes.
Lin Sa took a deep breath and went to the sink, splashing her face with cold water several times before finally drying herself off.
Ten minutes later, Lin Sa emerged from the bathroom, wearing only a bath towel while Shen Lingyan sat smoking on the couch.
As she walked out, the man's eyes narrowed slightly at her scantily clad appearance.
Lin Sa had heard that Shen Lingyan preferred women with great figures. At this moment, she felt immensely grateful for her genetics.
Still wrapped in just the towel, Lin Sa brazenly straddled Shen Lingyan's lap. A man of his experience could hardly miss such an overt invitation.
He was indeed interested in her. This woman was his type. But Shen Lingyan was not governed by base urges.
It was clear she was deliberately trying to get close to him. Until he investigated further, he would not touch her.
Shen Lingyan pressed his smoking hand against her waist, his palm meeting her bare skin as his intense gaze studied her face.
After showering, her makeup had mostly washed away. Her damp hair framed her fresh, unmade-up face.
She clearly knew how to radiate her allure - an intriguing blend of innocence and sensuality that didn't feel jarring at all.
Shen Lingyan leaned closer to her ear. Lin Sa felt his breath fanning against her, carrying a strong scent of tobacco.
"How many times before? Hm? You seem quite practiced," his voice tinged with a hint of resentment.
Lin Sa smiled coyly, draping her arms around his neck. "Doesn't Mr. Shen like it?" She purposely pitched her voice in a coquettish lilt.
Her naturally pleasant voice became all the more irresistible when intentionally wheedling. Tao Tao had once said any man able to resist Lin Sa's pouts must have issues.
"I'll be good for you, Mr. Shen," Lin Sa leaned in, boldly kissing his Adam's apple.
After this brazen act, she clearly felt his hand on her waist tighten its grip. She glanced down momentarily.
This was arguably her boldest move tonight. Sensing her action, Shen Lingyan abruptly snuffed out his cigarette and, disregarding her advances, hoisted her over his shoulder and strode towards the bedroom.
As he lifted her, the bath towel loosened and fell to the floor, leaving her fully exposed.
