After five bigwigs in Beijing's elite circle fell into their trap, I fled.

Chapter 14 Top Streamer Yan Yu

Li Yubai's eyes gleamed: "The biggest mortal enemy?"

Gao Jing reminded him: "That short-lived wretch who burned down your three cruise ships and two airplanes six years ago, stole your medicinal herb business four years ago, and came to China three years ago to take a detour and steal your title of the most beautiful woman."

Li Yubai pondered for a moment: "You mean, the heir of the FY Group?"

"Besides him, who else deserves to be called your greatest nemesis?" Gao Jing said indignantly. "Now, he has bombed your mine on the border of the United States, just six hours ago."

Li Yubai's eyes turned cold: "How much damage have you suffered?"

"There were no casualties, but all the diamonds we just mined were stolen!"

Li Yubai lowered his gaze: "Do you have any evidence?"

Gao Jing paused for a moment: "The surveillance only captured the afterimages of a group of advanced fighter jets. Among the major American conglomerates, only that short-lived one had a fighter jet fleet..."

A murderous intent gradually rose from Li Yubai's body: "Change the flight path, fly directly to the FY headquarters in the United States in two hours."

Gao Jing's tone was urgent: "BOSS, why don't we set off now?"

“No!” Li Yubai’s tone was firm yet slightly gentle. “I have more important things to do than a small diamond mine.”

……

Jiang Shu was woken up by her phone alarm at seven o'clock in the morning.

She opened her eyes to find that Li Yubai had prepared several Chinese breakfast dishes.

"All the ingredients are freshly air-freighted in, with no additives." Li Yubai poured her some milk and set out the knife and fork. "Try it and see if you like it."

Jiang Shu took a bite of the xiaolongbao, her eyes sparkling: "Since leaving the village, I haven't eaten such authentic ingredients again."

Li Yubai was delighted: "Then, from now on, I'll take care of your breakfasts and dinners?"

Jiang Shu was somewhat tempted: "This..."

“We’ll be living together sooner or later anyway,” Li Yubai said meaningfully. “Outside food is expensive and terrible, someone has to cook—do you hope that person is you?”

Jiang Shu shook her head shyly.

Li Yubai's expression softened further as he pushed a plate of delicate, translucent pastries in front of her: "Then it's settled, hmm?"

After taking a bite of the pastry, Jiang Shu nodded decisively!
After breakfast, Li Yubai and Jiang Shu went out together.

Assistant Yang and Assistant Gao waited anxiously at the exit of the residential area for two hours, but Li Yubai did not even glance at them after he came out.

Assistant Gao cleared his throat: "BOSS?"

Li Yubai gave him a cold look, then walked outside with Jiang Shu.

Even after walking quite a distance, Assistant Gao could still hear the man's voice, so gentle it seemed to melt hearts:
"Mr. Jiang, I have to go on a business trip later and may not be back for a few days."

Jiang Shu: "Oh."

Li Yubai: "I ordered takeout from Hongyunlou for you for three days. You'll have to make do with these meals for now. I'll cook your favorite dishes when I get back, okay?"

Jiang Shu: "Okay."

Li Yubai: "I'm handing you the keys to my villa too..."

It faded into the distance, becoming unheard of.

Assistant Gao and Assistant Yang followed far behind, only daring to approach after Jiang Shu and Li Yubai separated.

Assistant Gao said anxiously, "Boss, ten minutes ago, your gold mine in Country J was also bombed..."

Assistant Yang added slowly, "It's still that familiar fighter jet formation..."

Li Yubai: "..."

Class 27 of high school.

During morning reading, Jiang Shu noticed that her classmates seemed to be more disciplined. Aside from the occasional furtive glance at her, their eyes were practically glued to their books, and their voices were deafening. Qin Dou gently nudged her: "I heard you hit Wang Doudou yesterday afternoon?"

Jiang Shu glanced at him.

Qin Dou pressed on, "The principal even personally acted as your temporary guardian?"

Jiang Shu glanced at him again, but still didn't say anything.

Qin Dou probed, "The collapse of the Lemon Live Streaming platform has nothing to do with you, right?"

Jiang Shu then exclaimed in surprise, "It went bankrupt?"

Qin Dou nodded vigorously, quite emotional: "My favorite streamer was still broadcasting there at 2 a.m., but when I checked again at 4 a.m. after taking a nap, the website was gone! Apparently, the Li Group produced some crucial evidence, and several important executives were out sewing."

Jiang Shu suddenly thought of Li Yubai's line, "The weather is cold and the king is broken."

A sigh, and another! Finally, it all boils down to one sentence:
"You city folks really know how to have fun..."

After morning reading ended, Xu Yan timidly walked over and handed Jiang Shu a business card with both hands:
"Jiang Shu, thank you for saving me yesterday! This is my dad's business card. He said you can contact him if you have any problems."

Jiang Shu casually took the business card and tossed it into her bag, nodding nonchalantly, "Got it."

Xu Yan hesitated for a moment: "Except for Yan Yu."

Jiang Shu was suddenly intrigued: "Why can't Yan Yu do it?"

Xu Yan blushed: "Yan Yu is too big a star, and he keeps his distance from everyone in the industry. My dad has no say in front of him. But don't worry, as long as it's not Yan Yu, my dad can arrange for you to have dinner with even the best actors and actresses. If you want to be a star, my dad can use all his resources to promote you."

Jiang Shu raised an eyebrow lazily: "So Yan Yu is this aloof?"

"Not only aloof," Lin Shuangshuang leaned closer and sighed, "but also unattainable! The kind of top-tier white moonlight that even in dreams wouldn't dare to profane!"

Jiang Shu smiled but didn't say anything.

Qin Dou patted Lin Shuangshuang's book: "Let's not talk about Yan Yu for now, let's talk about your family's mess! I heard from my dad yesterday that at your grandfather's auction, that mysterious rich man's pipe sold for a sky-high price of 550 million?"

Lin Shuangshuang nodded dejectedly.

Jiang Shu's gossipy nature was piqued: "You seem unhappy?"

“The buyer is an unreasonable rich man.” Lin Shuangshuang said irritably, “After using it for two days, he insisted that the pipe smelled like pigs and sent thugs to block the door every day, demanding a refund from my grandfather—my grandfather even had a heart attack from anger!”

Xu Yan chimed in from the side, "That's absolutely unreasonable! How could such an expensive pipe possibly smell like pigs..."

Jiang Shu was also moved by what she heard: "A pipe worth hundreds of millions... I can't even imagine!"

"Just a few hundred million." Qin Dou scoffed. "A couple of days ago, Li Yubai, the God of Wealth from the capital, came to Jiangcheng. He spent 30 billion in one go and bought several buildings! My grandfather even signed the contract himself."

Lin Shuangshuang exclaimed, "Li Yubai, the legendary number one handsome man in the capital? What's he doing buying a building in this small city of Jiangcheng?"

Qin Dou shook his head speechlessly: "It's said that the God of Wealth plans to stay in Jiangcheng for a few months, so he bought this place to use as a temporary office building..."

Jiang Shu clutched her chest.

She suddenly felt that the 1 yuan daily rent she was charging was too little! She inexplicably felt a sense of loss, as if she had missed out on a fortune…

So much so that he lost his appetite for the lavish lunch delivered at noon from Hongyunlou, the premier restaurant in Jiangcheng.

That dazed state lasted until school ended.

A phone call finally snapped her out of her despair at missing out on a chance to get rich quick:

"Hello, is this Jiang Shu? This is Fengfeng International Express. You have several packages that need to be signed for."

Jiang Shu replied, "Put it in the locker by the door."

The deliveryman on the other end was silent for two seconds, then said in a somewhat strange tone, "You'd better sign for it yourself."
