Zuo Qishen only nodded after hearing Nan Fei’s words and did not say anything else.

Nan Fei looked at his cold and deep facial features, his firm chest, and his upright posture. The corners of her lips curled up slightly.

It seemed that this military commander did not like to talk much.

He did not even respond to her friendly greeting.

However, she did not care too much about these small details. After all, regarding the aphrodisiac, Zuo Qishen had helped her tonight.

Therefore, Nan Fei curved her lips and thanked Zuo Qishen obediently. “Thank you for helping me remove… the aphrodisiac.”

“No need to thank me.”

Zuo Qishen’s expression did not change much. He extended his long arm and took off the towel on the hook, throwing it on the woman’s wet head.

Then, after hesitating for a moment, he reached out to turn on the heater in the bathroom.

The orange light was suffused with warmth, enveloping Nan Fei’s body under the shower. The warmth invaded her body.

She was slightly startled. She took off the towel on her head, and the man’s somewhat awkward handsome face was reflected in her eyes.

Zuo Qishen looked at her, his tone calm and cold.

“Take a hot bath first. I’ll send you back later.” He paused, then frowned as if he had thought of something. “I’ll put out the incense when I go out. Someone will send clean clothes to you.”

He took a step forward and walked out of the door.

“Commander Zuo.”

Zuo Qishen’s hand on the doorknob froze.

The sound of high heels stepping on the bathroom tiles was neither soft nor heavy. Nan Fei walked to his side and said in a soft and calm voice, “Compared to taking a bath, I want to know what exactly happened tonight.”

Zuo Qishen’s gaze focused slightly, and his well-defined hand fell off the doorknob.

He turned around, his jaw sharp and cold. “Who else do you think would be able to use aphrodisiac in such a place?”

Nan Fei’s gaze froze, and then she said jokingly, “You?”

Zuo Qishen stared at her, his tone indifferent. “If it were me, you’d be in bed right now.”

Nan Fei blinked. She was only joking.

Of course, she knew that it was not him. Otherwise, why would he save her.

In fact, she already had an answer in her heart.

Raph was a top-class nightclub, and the people who came to play were all big shots in the capital. While they were having fun, they would inevitably carry out some confidential transactions and conversations. Therefore, in order to ensure safety, there were retired special forces stationed on every floor. The probability of someone sneaking in to light the aphrodisiac incense was very small.

Therefore, the person who lit the aphrodisiac incense could only be someone from Raph’s inner circle.

The person who had the guts to tamper with the VIP room could only be Raph’s higher-ups.

A familiar, devilishly handsome face flashed across Nan Fei’s mind.

“Cheng Liangmu?” Her voice was light, but there was a chill gradually seeping out from her eyes.

Zuo Qishen did not comment, but his expression seemed to be tacitly agreeing.

“You know him?” Nan Fei narrowed her eyes.

Cheng Liangmu was the Second Young Master of the Cheng family. The Cheng family was indeed prominent, but it was limited to the business world. How could it be related to people in the military?

“A little related,” he said casually.

“Oh, oh.” Nan Fei did not ask further. She also understood that she had crossed the line. There were too many things involved in the trivial matters of the aristocratic families. It was indeed inconvenient for an outsider to tell them.

“I just came back from abroad. Cheng Liangmu invited me here tonight to welcome me.” Zuo Qishen’s eyes were cold. He lifted his lips and said indifferently, “When I realized that something was wrong, I went into the bathroom to take a cold shower. The moment I came out, I saw you.”

Nan Fei lowered her eyes and her red lips gradually pursed.

She seemed to already know what had happened that night.
