The book-crossing case happened! The villains all want me to go to jail

In this magnificent castle in Moscow, which is tightly wrapped by the cold winter, Xie Xuan'an's life is like walking on thin ice. He is forced to deal with Andrestano, but he always longs to escape from this cold cage.

Night fell over the castle, and the lights inside looked particularly dim in the cold night.

One night, a private cocktail party was held in the castle. In the gorgeous banquet hall, candlelight flickered under the exquisite crystal chandelier, reflecting a warm yellow halo. The classical oil paintings hanging on the wall seemed to be quietly watching this special party.

The wine table was filled with top-quality wines from all over the world, and the crystal glasses reflected charming light under the candlelight. Andres Tano wore a black suit with exquisite tailoring, and the white bow tie at his collar made him look more noble and elegant.

His deep green eyes were filled with excitement. He raised the crystal wine glass filled with red wine and said to Xie Xuan with a smile:

"Xuan, let's enjoy this wonderful time tonight."

Xie Xuan'an was wearing a relatively simple but decent suit. His sword-like eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his deep black eyes hid imperceptible anxiety.

Hearing Andrestano's words, he forced a smile and responded, "Okay, Your Excellency the Duke."

As Andrestano drank glass after glass of wine, his originally fair cheeks gradually turned red, and his eyes began to become blurred and hazy.

He gradually spoke more and more, and began to say some nonsense:

"Xuan, do you know? From the first moment I saw you, I knew you were the most special person I have ever met in my life. Every look in your eyes, every smile of yours, makes my heart beat.

I really want to keep you by my side forever, so that you belong to me alone."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked Xie Xuan'an's face with his drunken fingers. The touch instantly gave Xie Xuan'an goose bumps.

Xie Xuan'an felt disgusted, as if he was touched by a disgusting bug, but in order not to alert the enemy, he could only forcefully smile and gently push away Andrestano's hand, saying, "My Lord Duke, you've had too much to drink."

However, Andrestano seemed to be in his own world, completely ignoring Xie Xuan's refusal. He leaned forward, closer to Xie Xuan, and murmured:

"Don't leave me, stay with me. I'm the only one in this world who can give you everything you want."

At the same time, his seemingly affectionate eyes occasionally flashed with a subtle sinister look.

His other hand tried to hold Xie Xuan'an's waist with an irresistible and overbearing force, as if declaring his absolute control over Xie Xuan'an.

Xie Xuan'an's body tensed up, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his nails digging deeply into his palms.

He tried hard to suppress the urge to break free immediately and gritted his teeth.

"Your Excellency the Duke, please take a seat and let's continue drinking."

Andrestano laughed wildly, and the laughter echoed in the empty banquet hall, sounding a little crazy.

He was staggering and almost collapsed on Xie Xuan'an, muttering some unclear words.

Xie Xuan'an struggled to support Andrestano's heavy body, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

While dealing with Andrestano's harassment, he was silently planning his escape plan in his mind.

He had been planning this plan in his mind for a long time, and every detail had been repeatedly thought about and scrutinized.

During the time he spent with Andrestano, Xie Xuan collected information through various opportunities.

Once, he accompanied Andrestano on an errand and passed by a port on the way.

He pretended to casually ask passers-by about boats and learned that there was a place to rent yachts in a small town not far from the castle.

To ensure the smooth progress of the plan, he also secretly wrote down the route and rental regulations.

Another time, Andrestano was handling matters in the study, and Xie Xuan was allowed to wait on the side.

While Andrestano was concentrating on the documents, he quietly flipped through a sailing magazine on the table and learned some basic knowledge about yacht driving and sea sailing.

These seemingly insignificant opportunities were fully utilized by Xie Xuan'an, accumulating valuable intelligence for his escape plan.

Finally, Andrestano was so drunk that he was unconscious and fell on the table, mumbling incoherent words.

Xie Xuanan took a deep breath, calmed down his nervous mood, and said to the servant beside him:

"You guys leave now. I'll take His Royal Highness back to his room."

The servants showed very curious expressions. They might have been privately speculating about the unusual relationship between Xie Xuan'an and the Duke, but they did not dare to disobey Xie Xuan'an's orders and could only retreat.

Xie Xuan'an ignored the servant's gaze and struggled to help Andrestano to his bedroom.

He carefully looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention. Then, while Andrestano was unconscious, he quickly jumped out of the window of another room.

In the dead of night, the cold wind blew on Xie Xuan'an's face like a knife. But he ignored it and ran all the way. Under his feet was the cold and hard stone road, and every step made a quick sound.

Xie Xuan'an's heart beat rapidly, as if it was about to burst out of his chest. There was only one firm thought in his mind: I must escape from here, return to my motherland, return to the familiar campus, and return to normal life.

He followed the pre-planned route, passing through narrow streets and alleys, avoiding patrolling guards. In the darkness, his figure was like an agile cheetah, rushing forward regardless of everything.

Moscow is not too dark at night, and there are shops with lights on everywhere.

Finally, he arrived at the port of the small town. The yacht rental shop was not far away, and the owner was preparing to close the shop.

Xie Xuan'an panted, his voice became hoarse due to tension and fatigue: "Wait, I want to rent a yacht."

The boss stopped what he was doing and mumbled something in Russian. Xie Xuan'an looked confused and didn't understand what the boss was saying at all.

"Boss, please, hurry up!" Xie Xuan'an's voice was rapid and trembling, and the anxiety in his heart was burning like a raging fire.

The two of them communicated by gestures, wasting a lot of time.

Just when the boss seemed to understand Xie Xuan'an's intention and was about to take the money and handle the rental procedures for him,

Suddenly, a familiar and frightening voice came from behind him:

"What are you doing, Xu An?"

Xie Xuan'an froze instantly, and his blood seemed to freeze at this moment. When he heard Andrestano's voice, his heart suddenly tightened, but his determination to escape made him suppress his fear in an instant.

He stared at the yacht that was about to be in his hands, and continued to rush forward without giving up, wanting to board the boat.

"Stop, Xie Xuan'an!" Andrestano roared, rushed forward, and stretched out his hand to block Xie Xuan'an's way.

Seeing this, Xie Xuanan was furious and turned around and punched Andrestano. "Get out of the way!" he yelled.

Although Andrestano was drunk, his long-term fighting instinct allowed him to react quickly.

He dodged Xie Xuan'an's fist by moving sideways and grabbed his arm.

Xie Xuan gritted his teeth and attacked Andrestano with his other hand. However, his internal injuries that had not yet fully healed held him back.

The nerves around the previous injury caused his hand movements to become slow and he was unable to fully exert his strength.

With his tall stature and the powerful strength he had developed when he was awake, Andrestano easily blocked Xie Xuan's attack and pushed him hard. Xie Xuan staggered and almost fell to the ground.

But Xie Xuan'an did not give up. He took advantage of the gap between the two and woke up instantly. He knew that it was not wise to continue fighting with Andrestano. The most important thing at the moment was to board the yacht and escape from here.

So, Xie Xuan turned around without hesitation and ran towards the yacht that was so close. In his eyes, there was only the yacht that represented hope and freedom, and in his mind, there was only one thought: as long as he boarded it, he could return to his motherland.

However, Andrestano reacted quickly, he took a big step forward, and quickly blocked Xie Xuan'an and the yacht. He opened his arms, like an insurmountable mountain, blocking Xie Xuan'an's way.

Xie Xuan'an was anxious and tried to break through from Andrestano's side, but Andrestano followed closely and kept him trapped in place.

"Xie Xuan'an, don't even think about escaping!" Andrestano roared.

Xie Xuan'an did not respond, but kept looking for opportunities to break through. His eyes were full of determination and resoluteness.

But Andrestano was too tall and extremely agile, so every attempt by Xie Xuan ended in failure.

Just when Xie Xuan'an was extremely anxious, Andrestano seized the opportunity, pounced, and grabbed Xie Xuan'an again.

Andrestano's hands were like iron pliers, tightly clamping Xie Xuan'an. Xie Xuan'an struggled desperately, but it was like a trapped beast, and it was useless.

In the end, Andrestano subdued Xie Xuan'an again. There was a hint of helplessness and heartache in his angry eyes. He forcibly took Xie Xuan'an, with an extremely strong attitude, and walked back to the castle step by step with heavy steps.

Xie Xuan'an was filled with despair, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. He didn't know if he still had a chance to escape from this horrible place.

He didn't know whether what awaited him in the future would be tighter guarding or an opportunity for another adventure.

It was a dark sky.

Xie Xuan'an lowered his head and fell into despair.

But he was also vaguely certain that the mastermind behind his kidnapping was Andre Stano.

He was not an ordinary duke, but the owner of the castle.
