Playboy: Medical and Martial Master-Chapter 276: Bai Ran

The air suddenly became quiet.

In the pitch-black living room, Sun Zhe was frozen stiff, not daring to move or even breathe too loudly. How did a naked woman suddenly appear and hug me out of the blue?

To avoid deepening the misunderstanding, he had to force himself to speak. "Uh, miss, I think you have the wrong person."

However, to his surprise, the woman seemed not to hear him. Instead, she hugged him even tighter, her soft, fragrant body snuggling against him as if she were being coquettish.

"Oh, baby, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have talked to that man at the bar yesterday or let him touch my leg."

"But you can’t blame me for that, can you? That guy was just so handsome!"

"Baby, don’t be mad at me, okay? Please?"

The woman seemed to be too drunk to be coherent. As she spoke, one of her soft, slender hands slipped inside Sun Zhe’s shirt, greedily stroking his eight-pack abs. After a moment, her hand slid down over his hairy abdomen and slowly slipped into his waistband.

Shit!

Sun Zhe’s heart leaped. His whole body jolted as if electrocuted, and he hurriedly pushed the woman away. "Miss, you’ve got the wrong person! I’m not Brother Huang!"

At this point, he was almost certain the woman in his arms was Huang Qianggang’s partner! Why else would she be stark naked in Huang Qianggang’s house?

But just as he thought that, the woman pounced on him again. Her slender hand shot directly into his waistband, expertly finding its way down until it gripped his sack.

"AGH—!"

Sun Zhe’s eyes flew open as he let out a cry of pain. The woman’s hand had suddenly squeezed with all its might, as if trying to crush him!

He trembled and writhed, trying to push her away. "Miss, don’t do this—"

"Don’t move," a cold voice suddenly whispered in his ear.

Simultaneously, a cold fruit knife was pressed against his neck, its sharp blade almost breaking the skin. The woman then asked with a chilling smile, "Which will it be? Should I slice you up here, or crush you down there?"

Sun Zhe grimaced. "Can I choose neither?"

With two vital areas in the woman’s control, he had no choice but to behave and not move rashly.

But judging by her tone of voice now, she didn’t sound drunk at all. That’s when Sun Zhe suddenly realized—she hadn’t mistaken him for someone else. She had been acting from the very beginning! Her goal was probably to make him lower his guard so she could find an opportunity for a fatal blow!

In the silence that followed, Sun Zhe forced a bitter smile. "Miss, can you let go first? I’m really not a bad guy."

"Then who are you?" the woman said coldly. "Breaking into my house at four in the morning, sneaking around... you don’t seem like a good person."

Sun Zhe endured the pain from above and below, hissing through his teeth. This woman is truly something else, he marveled inwardly. When a strange man breaks into her home, her first reaction isn’t to scream and put herself at a disadvantage. Instead, she looks for an opportunity to seize the initiative! Composed, able to think clearly when facing danger, and then take effective action... There was no way in hell this woman was just an ordinary person!

"Miss, I don’t mind you cutting my neck, but please stop squeezing down there. It really hurts..."

"Cut the crap! Who are you?!" The woman’s tone grew heavier, and both her hands suddenly applied more force!

"Agh..."

Sun Zhe’s face twisted in pain. He was incredibly frustrated. If it weren’t for Brother Huang’s sake, I would have zapped you with electricity by now!

"Miss... I’m supposed to be a guest."

"A guest?"

The pain was unbearable. Sun Zhe spoke in a rapid-fire burst, "My name is Sun Zhe from Yang City! I just came back with Brother Huang! He told me to go inside first, but it’s my first time here so I didn’t know where the lights were, and then..."

"Sun Zhe? You’re Doctor Sun from Yang City?" the woman suddenly interrupted.

"Yes, yes, that’s me!"

The woman hastily let go of Sun Zhe, pulling her hand away. She then got up, walked over to the side of the room, and switched on the living room chandelier.

The sudden, intense light filled the room, forcing Sun Zhe to squint. But when he adjusted to the glare and slowly opened his eyes, the sight before him made him instantly wide awake, his blood surging through his veins!

In his line of sight, a graceful, completely naked figure was walking toward him!

"Doctor Sun, I’ve heard President Su (Su Qingli) mention you before."

Sun Zhe, mortified, quickly looked away. "Um... your clothes..."

"Ah!" the woman suddenly shrieked, finally realizing she was wearing nothing. She was so flustered she nearly jumped on the spot, a stark contrast to her previous calm composure. Feeling completely mortified, she spun around and fled as if her life depended on it.

「A few minutes later.」

The woman returned to the living room wearing a conservative pajama set. Her cheeks were still flushed as she sat on the sofa opposite Sun Zhe.

"Doctor Sun, I’m so sorry about what happened. I didn’t expect it to be you. It was pitch black, and suddenly there was someone in the living room... anyone would have reacted..."

"It’s alright, just a small misunderstanding," Sun Zhe said with an understanding smile, shaking his head.

Only now did he have the presence of mind to properly look at the woman before him. Her tall, full figure couldn’t be hidden even by the loose, conservative pajamas, which failed to conceal her alluring curves. A delicate, pretty face with a subtle blush gave her an enchanting appearance.

"Oh right, I’m Bai Ran, also an employee at Hengyun Pharmaceutical."

Sun Zhe smiled. "You don’t look like a local."

During their brief conversation, Sun Zhe learned that Bai Ran was from Yang City and had been married to Huang Qianggang for three years. The couple both worked for Hengyun Pharmaceutical and were assigned to Xiong City after their marriage. Bai Ran managed the pharmaceutical plant built here, while Huang Qianggang was responsible for scouting mountains for herbs. Furthermore, Bai Ran and Su Qingli were good friends from their university days. That was how she knew about Sun Zhe; Su Qingli had mentioned him during one of their chats.

"Ranran, you’re up so early?"

As they were chatting, Huang Qianggang’s booming voice suddenly sounded from the doorway.

Huang Qianggang walked into the living room carrying a large bag, which he tossed into a corner. As he took off his jacket, he said to Sun Zhe, "Doctor Sun, I’ve got some bad news."

Hearing this, Sun Zhe frowned. "What news?"

Huang Qianggang’s expression was grim as he sat down on the sofa. "I just heard from the men down there that a torrential downpour has caused flooding, so we can’t get into the mountain today."

Sun Zhe asked, "Isn’t there another way into the mountains?"

Huang Qianggang replied, "There are, of course. But as soon as it rains in Celestial Prison Mountain, a disorienting mist forms, especially in the summer. If we try to enter from another route, even I would get lost."

"But don’t you worry, Doctor Sun. The downpours this time of year don’t last long. Once the rain stops, we can head into the mountains and find Little President Su (Su Nanzhi)!"

Sun Zhe nodded. "Alright then."

Huang Qianggang suddenly yawned and chuckled. "Doctor Sun, I really need to get some sleep. I’ve been up since noon yesterday. Going on like this is going to wreck my body!" He added, "You’ve been on a plane for ages, you need to rest up too. I’ll call around noon and check on the situation over there!"

"Okay."

"Ranran, take Doctor Sun to the guest room."

"No need, Brother Huang," Sun Zhe said, waving his hand with a smile. "I’ll be fine on the sofa for a while."

"Alright then. Doctor Sun, make yourself at home! Treat this place like your own!"

「A little later.」

After Huang Qianggang and his wife, Bai Ran, went to their room, Sun Zhe lay down on the sofa. He planned to get some rest and gather his strength before heading into the mountains to find Su Nanzhi.

Time slowly passed.

Drifting in a state between sleep and wakefulness, Sun Zhe was suddenly roused by a strange moaning sound.

"Mmm..."

"Honey, don’t. Doctor Sun is still out there."

"Don’t worry, Ranran, our house is soundproof. He can’t hear us!"

"Ah, don’t..."

"Ranran, this time it has to go in! I want a baby!"

After the couple’s brief conversation, Sun Zhe heard a rhythmic thumping. It sounded as if the very walls were about to be knocked down!

He clamped his hands over his ears and glanced at the still-dim sky outside, fighting the urge to scream. Huang Qianggang must have a serious misunderstanding of what ’soundproof’ means, he lamented silently. With all that racket, they might as well have been doing it right in front of him
