Chapter 141 Li Yubai's Private Video
"It's probably some foreign universities that are just rip-offs, recruiting students indiscriminately." Li Yubai pointed to the trash can. "Just throw it away."

Jiang Shu's gaze fell on the upper left corner of the notification letter.

“Li Yubai, look at this academy's badge…”

Li Yu glanced at it: "What?"

“An X-shaped wound. Exactly the same as the wound of my mortal enemy deep in my memory…” Jiang Shuzai examined it closely. “It really is! Even the jagged edges are exactly the same!”

Li Yubai looked at her and asked, "So, you want to go to this school to find out what's going on?"

"No way! There are too many scammers overseas!" Jiang Shu tore up the acceptance letter indifferently and threw it into the trash can. "Holy Spirit Academy? The name sounds so mystical, what kind of good school can it be, huh?"

She picked up a spicy snack and put it in her mouth, smiling contentedly: "I still prefer staying in China, staying with you beautiful ladies."

Li Yubai smiled gently: "Okay."

"As for that X..." Jiang Shu said with a hint of distress, "Many times, I feel like he's very, very close to me, but I just can't quite grasp that feeling. You guys have a lot of connections, so please help me investigate when you have time, especially places like bathhouses where there's nowhere to hide..."

Li Yubai paused for two seconds and then said, "Okay."

into the night.

Riverside villas.

After a day of wandering around outside, Li Yubai personally drove Jiang Shu back to the villa: "You'll stay here for the next couple of days. Except for showing your face at the business banquet tomorrow night, my time is yours to do as you please."

Jiang Shu got out of the car and looked around at the villa complex located halfway up the mountain, nestled among dense forests and stretching as far as the eye could see: "You said before that you also liked forests, and I thought you were just teasing me, but now I really believe you."

“This villa is very well-protected.” Li Yubai gently removed her mask and glasses, his gaze softening. “Let’s go, I’ll take you inside.”

Uncle Fu received the notification early and was waiting in the lobby.

As soon as Li Yubai entered the house, Uncle Fu immediately came to greet him: "Sir, you're back."

Li Yubai nodded slightly, a smile in his eyes, and told Jiang Shu, "This is Uncle Fu, the villa's butler, one of the people I trust most in the Li family. You can ask him for anything."

Jiang Shu greeted him politely, "Hello, Uncle Fu!"

"Oh! Hello, Miss! This is the first time the sir has brought you home!"

Jiang Shu exclaimed, "Are you going to say next, 'Your husband hasn't laughed in a long time'?"

Uncle Fu, who doesn't read melodramatic stories, was stunned for a moment: "No, sir has been laughing a lot in the past six months."

Li Yubai helplessly rubbed Jiang Shu's head: "Read less doggy-style novels in the future. Go wash your hands, I'll take you out to eat."

When Jiang Shu came out after washing her hands, there was a sumptuous dinner on the table, along with a steaming cup of milk and a glass of fruit wine.

“The fruit wine is made by Uncle Fu. I drink it every time I come here.” Li Yubai pointed to the back mountain. “There are a few small orchards on the mountain. When you come here in the fall, I will personally take you to pick fruit, and Uncle Fu will make fruit wine for you to drink.”

"Can't I drink it now?"

“This fruit wine has been sitting for too long; it’s got a bit of an aftereffect.” Li Yubai’s voice was gentle yet firm. “You’re still young; you should drink the kind that’s freshly brewed.”

"Then remember to bring me here in the fall." Jiang Shu picked up her milk, and the next moment, Li Yubai had already filled her plate with food.

Jiang Shu tasted a few bites of each dish: "The rice from your house tastes exactly the same as the rice in my village! And this... shark fin, is it? It tastes just like the vermicelli in our village."

Li Yubai gave a soft "hmm": "When I miss home in the future, I'll come here to eat."

Jiang Shu nodded.

After dinner, Li Yubai led Jiang Shu to the home theater room and handed her a remote control: "It has all the resources from the internet. You can watch TV for a while. I'm going to the study to work on some documents."

"it is good."

Ten minutes later, Li Yubai, who was working on documents in his study, received a call from Jiang Shu: "I accidentally clicked on a hidden folder. Are there videos in it too?"

Li Yubai paused for a few seconds, then said, "No."

"What is that? Can I see it?" Li Yubai's eyes gradually darkened, and this time he paused for a longer time: "You can see it. The password is your birthday."

"Ugh, all the passwords to Yan Yu's office are set to my birthday. Do you all really love your sugar daddy that much?!"

Jiang Shu muttered a complaint, then, seemingly a little embarrassed, hung up the phone.

Li Yubai lost all interest in work, tossing the documents aside and absentmindedly playing with the ring on his ring finger.

Inside the cinema, Uncle Fu brought over a plate of sliced ​​fruit. Seeing Jiang Shu trying to enter a password to open a file on the computer wall, he smiled and said:
“These are all Mr.’s own video files. He saves a few every year, saying he will keep them for his wife to watch in the future.”

Jiang Shu paused for a moment: "They're all... his own videos?"

"Yes." Uncle Fu chuckled. "Miss Jiang, you can take a look. There are the most videos inside, mostly of women who were eighteen years old. Back then, they drove many socialites in the capital crazy. They're quite a watch!"

"Then, let me see?" Jiang Shu's curiosity was gradually piqued.

Uncle Fu didn't disturb her; he prepared snacks and fruit for her and then left.

Jiang Shu randomly opened a file.

After a two-second pause, the eighteen-year-old boy in a white sweater appeared under the spotlight.

It seemed to be a press conference. The aloof young man sat on a high stool with exceptionally long legs. He still wore that familiar ring on his ring finger, and in his palm, he was playing with a somewhat eerie-looking black doll.

The reporters bombarded the reporters with questions one after another:
"Hello Li Yubai, yesterday was your first appearance at the Li family's clan meeting, and you inherited 95% of the Li Group's assets. May I ask, your father, Li Lingyan, has not appeared since yesterday. Is it true, as rumored, that he still couldn't escape the hurdle of turning fifty?"

"Mr. Li Yubai, I heard that you have just turned eighteen. Will you choose to marry into a super family in the capital?"

"Mr. Li Yubai, you've been fiddling with the doll in your hand. Does it have any special meaning to you?"

Li Yubai's expression was distant, and his voice was cold: "I have nothing to say about my father's affairs."

He paused for a moment: "As for marriage, I will not consider it within the next ten years."

"So, ten years from now, you will break the tradition of the Li family head not getting married, right?"

Li Yubai's eyes softened, a captivating smile playing on his lips, and his voice softened a few decibels: "Yes. I'm waiting for my wife to grow up."

The reporter gasped: "Who is your ideal wife?"

Li Yubai's expression turned indifferent: "It's a private matter, I can't tell you."

The screen stops.

Jiang Shu grabbed a slice of watermelon, took a couple of bites, and then used the remote control to open a second video.

The date marked in the upper right corner is the summer when Li Yubai turned nineteen.

A handsome man wearing a charcoal gray traditional Chinese-style shirt sat on the sofa, still fiddling with a doll in his hand.

He was surrounded by a group of stylists and beauticians.

At that moment, the beautician was preparing a face mask, and the stylist was carefully styling his hair.

Off-screen, Fu Bo's voice could be heard: "Sir, this is the first time I've seen you so concerned about your appearance."

The man gave a soft "hmm," his voice deep and sexy: "This will become my norm from now on."

Uncle Fu probed, "Sir, do you have a girl you like?"

Li Yubai lowered his eyelids and smiled enigmatically: "I just want to become more handsome so that when I meet someone I like in the future, I can use my good looks to...seduce her."

The stylist next to him cautiously chimed in: "Mr. Li is the richest man in the capital, surrounded by numerous accolades. He doesn't need to use his good looks; countless women will flock to him."

"There's nothing I can do," Li Yubai said with a hint of helplessness. "There's someone who just happens to be obsessed with beautiful women."
