Sandeep’s eyes bulged as he pointed at the scarves and stuttered, “Major…Major Shukla! You’re actually using Hermes scarves as ties?!”

Oh my god. Hermes scarves are at least five or six thousand RMB! The expensive ones are at least forty or fifty thousand RMB. Was it really a good idea to use such things to tie up
Shehnaaz’s wrists and ankles?!Sandeep thought anxiously.

Sidharth ignored him and pursed his lips tightly. He quickly tied Shehnaaz’s arms and legs onto the 4 corners
of the bed.

Sandeep helped on the side, a strange expression on his face as he looked at Sidharth. “Major Shukla, how do you
have so many Hermes scarves?” All the while he was thinking, these are for women.

Sidharth stated dryly, “Shehnaaz loves them, so the last time I was on business in France, I picked up two dozen or so at the Hermes headquarters on the way. These were
going to be her birthday gifts this year.” He actually had no spare time to pick and choose, so he had a quick look and bought all the new styles for the year. It was a dizzying variety of short and long ones, square and rectangular ones; all kinds of different styles, colorful and patterned ones.

Sandeep gave a thumbs up and grinned. “As expected of Major Shukla! A guardian who puts in effort and money. You are completely qualified!”

Sidharth glanced at him coldly and motioned with his chin towards Shehnaaz to get back to business. She’ll be ok if she gets relief right?”

Sandeep winked and smiled, his head nodded rapidly like a bobblehead. “Exactly, exactly! That’s the desired effect of normal aphrodisiacs, right?”

Sidharth’s lips pressed even tighter, his sharp jawline revealing obvious tension. His strapping physique was like an arched bow, giving the impression of subjecting anyone within three feet of him to a merciless death.

Sandeep was frightened by  Sidharth’s sudden display of cold cruelty. He backed away, tripped, and fell on the
ground with a thud. Sidharth shifted his gaze, his face expressionless.
Lifting his head to see that Sidharth had already looked away, Sandeep gripped on to the table and quietly
stood up. He took off his fogged up glasses and gave them a wipe. “Actually, honestly speaking, she’ll be fine once we find a guy to have sex with her. The problem is that she’s
not 18 yet and has no consciousness. I can’t make the call, so I had to find you. You’re her guardian, so as long as you agree, I’ll go find a guy right away.”

Sandeep finished speaking and squinted his 800-degree myopic eyes to look at Sidharth in a business like manner. To Sandeep, this wasn’t a dire situation. He had seen it all in his years as a medical officer for the Special Military Forces.

Sidharth couldn’t help but make a fist as his eyes flashed, but then quietly, he folded his hands behind his
back.

His gaze fell on Sandeep’s face, sweeping over it inch by
inch as though he were dismembering him.

“Find a guy? Who, exactly? What do you take her for?” His hands behind him, he stalked towards Sandeep aggressively.

Without his glasses on, Sandeep couldn’t see Sidharth’s expression. He only felt an icy draft hit his face
so hard that it hurt.

He could only back away a few steps and put his glasses back on. Looking at the notes he made on Shehnaaz while
she was in the infirmary, he muttered, “Sana hasn’t had a boyfriend yet, so she’s still a virgin. I’ve got to find her a reliable man.”

Sidharth was silent.

He reached out to grab the notes Sandeep was reading and scanned through them. His face expressionless, he ripped all the pages out and took a lighter out from his trouser pockets. The flame lit up with a click, igniting the bottom of the notes which were then tossed into a stainless steel
garbage can in the corner.

The flames lit up in the garbage can and the notes turned to ash in a second.

“Major Shukla! What have you done?!”  Sandeep stomped towards the fire to put it out, only to be blocked by Sidharth Shukla’s arms.

“Why would you make a paper record of something like this?” Sidharth glared at him. “Are you stupid? Tell me, did you record this on your laptop?”

“This is important data!” Sandeep wailed and he watched the detailed record become ash in the garbage can, his heart wrenching. “Look what you’ve done! I didn’t get a
chance to record it into my laptop yet!”

Sandeep was a medical genius and had almost a perverse obsession with all medically related data. Sidharth had destroyed his precious observations in one moment.
Sandeep was so livid he forgot his fears and turned away to the door. He crossed his arms and looked at the ceiling, his face like stone. “Well, let’s not talk anymore. Let’s find a
guy!”

Sidharth only felt a lump in his throat, like something was stuck inside and he
was unable to utter, “Yes.”

After a long moment, he turned his head to look at Sandeep.

His voice was cold enough to form frost. “She just needs to find relief, right? Why do we need to find a man? For her relief, it doesn’t require direct contact, right?”

Sandeep was stunned for a second and murmured, “Theoretically—absolutely, as long as she finds
‘pleasure,’ it should resolve naturally. But, she has no consciousness right
now. You can’t expect her to find ‘pleasure’ by herself?” He was too uncomfortable to volunteer “pleasing” Sana himself, which was why he had called Sidharth. “If you have a problem with it being a man, I can find a female physician to help her.”

Sandeep made a lewd gesture gingerly.

Sidharth glowered at at Sandeep’s gesture.

Sandeep felt as though his fingers were about to be sliced
off by his glare. He hurriedly put his hands behind himself and chuckled. “Of course, if Major Shukla does not agree, let’s just pretend I didn’t say a single thing. Not one single thing. We might be able to let her bear through it.”

It was only someone like Sidharth Shukla, with his mind full of weapons and massacres, who could fathom letting a young lady bear through this.
Sandeep couldn’t help chiding
Sidharth in his mind: he really treats women like men, and men like livestock.

Sidharth’s brows tightened and he raised his hand. “That’s enough, let me think.”

He took out a pack of cigarettes. His slim and powerful fingers plucked one out and placed it between his lips. He
then lit it up and inhaled deeply.

It was already late at night, the Special Operations Forces established base in the backcountry of C City. The moon appeared washed and shone between the trees in the forest. Its light was slanted and icy, but did nothing to
quell the fever deep in his heart.
Sidharth sat on the balcony in silence, the cigarette dangling between his fingers. He took a draw occasionally,
his heart agitated.

Before he could make sense of what was happening, Shehnaaz’s wails sounded relentlessly from the open French windows, numbing his scalp.
Tossing away the butt, he turned to the room with resolve.

“No need to find anyone. I’ll watch over her. I don’t believe she can’t bear through this!” He bent over to pick up Shehnaaz and headed towards his
bedroom, closing the door in
Sandeep’s face with a loud
thud.

Sandeep had already predicted this while he watched Sidharth’s silhouette smoke on the balcony.
He had never seen such hesitation from him. Sidharth Shukla had commanded whole armies with the snap of his fingers.

As a soldier, and an outstanding one at that, hesitation in battle was the most unacceptable. This time, it was
surprising that Sidharth Shukla had hesitated.

However, it was fortunate that he had quickly made a decision.
Sandeep knocked on the  Sidharth’s bedroom door and shouted, “Remember to watch her heart rate. If it gets too high, call me right away! I’ll go do the drug composition
analysis!”
