A Flirtatious Rescue by the Pool

When the icy pool water flooded her nose and mouth, Luo Xiaoju never imagined that the man who pulled her out of the abyss would become the most dangerous ordeal of her life. Jiang Shijun's hand pressed against her waist, their skin touching beneath her soaked swimsuit. His breath was scorching. “Don't move. Your leg's cramping.” By day, he's a refined PE teacher. By night, he's the kingpin controlling an underground intelligence network. An encrypted ledger tied to the lifelines of the powerful turns her from an ordinary office worker into a pawn hunted by multiple forces. Faced with her boss's workplace harassment, tens of millions in suspicious funds suddenly appearing in her mother's account, and a bullet aimed straight at her forehead in a parking garage, he repeatedly confines her to a safehouse covered in surveillance, all in the name of protecting her. His burning warmth tells her, “As long as you're alive, I can stay alive.” “Teacher Jiang, this is crossing the line between teacher and student...” “Then let's cross it all the way.” He pins her against the bulletproof glass and unzips the back of her dress with his teeth. “From the moment you nearly drowned, your life, your body and your heart, have belonged to me.” When the truth about her father's death in the line of duty twenty years ago finally comes to light, and a pregnancy test slips into his bloodstained palm, she takes the gun he offers her. “Jiang Shijun, teach me how to use it. We'll fight our way to survival, together.” Tearing Away the Gentle Facade of City Life This novel rips away the gentle facade of modern city life.
