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

Chapter 237 Raising the Butcher's Knife
That night, Ning Yunzhan stood at the top of the Yunduan Group as usual, drinking red wine and watching the movements in the chairman's office of the Li Group next door.

Then he sensed the girl.

Nineteen years had passed; she had transformed from an infant into a graceful young woman, still retaining some of her former carefree spirit, but seemingly with a more immature mindset. Ning Yunzhan's consciousness drifted through the Li Group like a gentle breeze, leaving no trace, while his pupils clearly reflected the scene in the chairman's office.

The girl was disheveled, with a faint smell of blood on her. At that moment, Li Yubai was clean-cut and refined, perfectly embodying the role of the most handsome man in the capital, yet he was being carelessly pressed down on the chair. His eyes, which were blurry and slightly moist at the corners, made him appear even more alluring.

As a fellow man, Ning Yunzhan immediately guessed Li Yubai's thoughts:
He was using his beauty to seduce her.

The girl spoke softly, a little hesitantly: "I want to discuss a business deal with you..."

The most beautiful woman in the capital smiled gently, as if she had been waiting for her prey for half a lifetime.

Yunduan Group. Ning Yunzhan put down his wine glass, opened the dressing room door, and began meticulously dressing in front of the mirror—

As for beautiful women, Ning Yunzhan certainly has them.

That night, Jiang Shuxin left under the moonlight, satisfied, and went to the nearby sea to look at the ocean.

Using his position, Ning Yunzhan cleared half the beach, disguising himself as the perfect prey, and waited on Jiang Shu's inevitable path.

The moonlight was beautiful that day, and Ning Yunzhan was unbelievably handsome. He wore a classic, stylish black overcoat over a starry gray shirt; every inch of his attire, from his hair to his fingers, was meticulously crafted, luxurious and elegant, yet possessing a unique aloofness and unapproachability. The young lady he so longed for was instantly captivated by his alluring aura, and he couldn't help but develop his next client:
Would you like to try a new lifestyle with me?

Of course I'd like to.

Ning Yunzhan reluctantly entered the game, and in the instant his hands clasped Jiang Shu's, a thought flashed through his mind—

Hunting? Ning Yunzhan can do that too.

…………

When Ning Yunzhan snapped out of his reverie, it was almost dawn.

Inside the seaside hotel, people gradually got up.

Ning Yunzhan brushed the frost off his body, slowly walked back to the living room, and sat on the sofa to wait elegantly.

Behind him, Rong Jingchen came downstairs, raised an eyebrow and glanced at him: "You didn't sleep all night?"

Ning Yunzhan hummed in agreement: "Our people have always been known for their energy expenditure."

"Our patron once remarked that you and Li Yubai were incredibly energetic, able to stay up for several nights without batting an eye. Back then, why didn't I connect you with that clan?" Rong Jingchen seemed to regretfully say.

Ning Yunzhan glanced at him: "You can also join us. After all, the entry threshold for our clan is very low. All you need to do is slit your throat and inject our blood."

"No need for that. I prefer being human to being neither human nor ghost." After saying that, Rong Jingchen sat down to the side, turned on his military communication watch, and ignored him.

A few minutes later, the others also came down one after another.

Jiang Shu came down with Li Yubai. At that moment, Feng Li was pouring milk for Jiang Shu and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark:
Did you two have a good time last night?

Jiang Shu was taken aback: "What father and daughter? Ali, you're talking nonsense again."

Feng Li then realized that Jiang Shu had lost her memory again, so he stopped mentioning it.

At breakfast, the others didn't eat much; they were all busy putting food on Jiang Shu's plate.

Jiang Shu looked at the overflowing plate and paused for a moment: "I'm not a pig."

"Whether you're a pig or not, go for a walk with Yan Yu later," Li Yubai said gently. "There are several famous scenic spots nearby, so go and have fun for three days before coming back."

Jiang Shu tilted her head slightly to look at the men at the table: "And you guys?" "Oh, a few of us are going to the Devil's Triangle." Ning Yunzhan paused for a moment, "to go fishing."

Fishing...

Jiang Shu is unconventional and dislikes these kinds of boring activities the most.

"Ning Yunzhan, as the chief planner of the family team building activity, could you please choose something else that I can participate in next time? Fishing is so boring, it's better to jump into the sea."

Ning Yunzhan looked at Jiang Shu and said in a gentle voice, "Jumping into the sea, bungee jumping, skydiving, surfing... I'll take you to experience all of these after I'm done with this busy period."

Jiang Shu was a little excited: "Okay."

The others who originally wanted to speak, seeing that she was in high spirits, ultimately couldn't bear to spoil the fun and swallowed their mocking words towards Ning Yunzhan.

After dinner, Yan Yu rented a luxury car and took Jiang Shu to a nearby town.

Li Yubai waited until the car disappeared from sight before turning to the remaining men and saying calmly, "I heard there was a high tide in the Devil's Triangle this morning. Perhaps... it's the right time for us to set off now."

Feng Li chuckled lazily: "I'm frail, you guys go yourselves, I'll just fly over."

“Alright.” Ning Yunzhan stood up and gave Feng Li a meaningful look. “Remember to come and meet us.”

Several men walked out together, their expressions as calm as ever.

A large area near the Devil's Triangle was suddenly placed under very strict control, and all unrelated personnel were quickly cleared out.

In the sky, a dense swarm of fighter jets roared in.

Large numbers of troops have gradually taken up their positions in the snowy wasteland that was originally difficult to find any human traces in.

Ning Yunzhan took a light sniff of the murderous air and sighed regretfully:
"Actually, we don't have to go this far. Maintaining the status quo and playing along with her for another ten or twenty years might be a better choice."

“But you want to imprison her,” Li Yubai replied softly. “I paid such a high price not to make her the devil’s plaything.”

……

On the main road leading to Miami, Jiang Shu was sitting in the passenger seat, chatting enthusiastically with Yan Yu about their travel tips for Miami, when she suddenly felt a slight tremor.

As if sensing something, she rolled down the car window and looked back. The sky, dozens of miles away, was suddenly enveloped in an eerie blue light!
Within that blue light, there were streaks of blood-red color swirling around, a sight that sent chills down one's spine!
Crimson blue light...

Jiang Shu slammed on the brakes!
Yan Yu turned her head blankly: "Sister, what's wrong?"

Jiang Shu stared intently at the distant horizon: "The new master's butcher's knife."

Yan Yu pulled over and got out of the car with Jiang Shu. They leaned against the car and gazed at the eerie sky.

"Yan Yu, that's the direction we came from. Can you tell exactly where we are?"

Yan Yu stared for a long time: "Sister, that should be the Devil's Triangle."

Jiang Shu's breath hitched: "Where were Li Yubai and the others planning to go fishing this morning?"

Yan Yu remained silent for an even longer time this time: "The Devil's Triangle."

Jiang Shu suddenly opened the car door: "Let's go back!"

“Sister.” Yan Yu opened the car door with her hand, her eyes filled with helplessness, her voice clear yet tinged with worry, “Didn’t you realize that we were deliberately sent away by them? Perhaps what they are doing right now is something we can’t get involved in, and going there would only be a burden.”

Jiang Shu's expression turned cold: "I said, let's go back."
