Time stood still. Ying Yue was not sure how long she was in his arms. She fought hard against him but somehow she was powerless.

'Why am I like this, I could have easily gotten out by now if it was someone else.' Although she fought against him, she restrained her strength. Something about this man stopped her from fully showimg her skills as if the notion of him getting hurt because of her.

'Hmph he's lucky I'm being nice or I could have easily destroyed him by now.' Although she did not know who the man in front of her was, she was sure he was not a simple man. A late night on a Friday, in the middle of a sketchy alley, this man was walking around as if it was his personal backyard.

Struggling again, she sighed when she realized this man was adamant on keeping her in his embrace. Heat burned through her at the spots his body touched.

"When do you plan to release me?"

"Hmm, depends Kitten. What's in it for me."

"I won't kill you when you release me, think that's fair enough."

He chuckled. This kitten was taunting him.

"See kitten, I can let you go but that would just be too cruel. What if you get eaten by a big bad wolf."

'Is this man crazy? Why does he keep calling me kitten and who the f.u.c.k is the big bad wolf!'

"There are no wolves and no one is getting eaten, stop with your analogies - let me go. I have somewhere to be."

"Mhm but there is one right in front of you and I see a soft little kitten that I wouldn't mind eating right in front of me. What do you say?" His voice turned rough as he finished his sentence, eyes turning dark. The threat was very real.

He was excited at her response, she only glared and her body turned more aggressive in fighting against his arms. What was he to do, playing with her was just too fun.

Intending on riling her up some more, he squeezed her tighter against him. "How about this. You tell me who you are and I let you go."

"F.u.c.k off."

He laughed out loud. There has never been a woman till date who dared to challenge him, let alone tell him to "f.u.c.k off." She was definitely different and he was not going to give up till he knew everything about her. But before he could pressure her into telling him her name, the sound of a cell phone ringing his attention. It was coming from his pocket and there was no way he could reach it without letting her go.

"So ready to answer yet?"

"Aren't you going to answer your phone." Ying Yue glared back at this man, not only was he refusing to let her go, he didn't even pick up his phone that kept on ringing. The sound of his ringtone annoying her further. When the phone rang for the 7 time he finally grunted in anger. Releasing her, he whipped out his phone to answer whoever dared interrupt him.

"WHAT" Barking into the phone, he waited to see who was going to respond.

"Sir..sir I was calling to inform you that we have captured Hu Bao and we are keeping him in the dungeon."

Shufen trembled. He was calling his boss as usual to inform him of the successful capture but his boss was angry. Through the phone he could tell that he had not made the right decision as his boss's fury was raging at him.

'Hu hu boss, take mercy on poor me. What have I done to offend you hu hu.'

"Understood." Xi Long hung up the phone with that and turned around to see his kitten gone.

Phoning his secretary again, "You have three hours to find the girl we met tonight. I want everything on her from her name to why she was here tonight."

Shufen cried on the other end of the phone, we barely saw her face and now he was to spend the rest of his night looking for her. 'What did this woman do to provoke his boss?'

Xi Long gazed at the spot she was standing in, her warmth still remembered by his body.

'Don't worry kitten, I'll find you. Oh I'll find you for sure.'
