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

Chapter 245 Former Master, You're Back?
No one knew what was happening in the secret room.

The seawater was icy cold in the depths of winter. When the body of the young master of FY was pulled from the water, a slight doubt flashed in Rong Jingchen's eyes: the stiffness of his body didn't seem like he had just died, but rather as if he had been in ice for several years...

He suddenly asked Jiang Shu, "Xiao Shu, you're sensitive to scents, are you sure this is Feng Li?"

Jiang Shu's eyes were red, and her voice trembled as she spoke: "It's the same aura... This string of beads he's wearing is the same one I gave him, but I don't know why, even at the critical moment of life and death, this life-saving bracelet didn't activate its protective function..."

A newly arrived medical team nearby had already collected DNA samples and used the expedited process, releasing the results within a few hours.
"It is indeed Young Master Feng Li's DNA."

Based on his years of intuition, Rong Jingchen felt something was amiss: "Can you find out the time of death?"

The doctor was somewhat hesitant: "It's impossible to make an accurate judgment just by looking at the appearance, but if we hand it over to a forensic doctor..."

"No! The young master's body cannot be damaged in any way!" the old butler refused. "Set off immediately and bring the young master back to the old master."

Another base leader probed, "Should we use an ice coffin? I heard that the young master bought a jade ice coffin five years ago in the secret chamber."

"Use it." The old butler's face trembled, his eyes blackened from crying. "However, when the young master was buying a grave, he always said he wanted to be buried in several different places. For the sake of the old master's health, we don't need to follow the young master's last wish..."

The atmosphere was clearly sad, yet there was an inexplicable sense of absurdity.

Jiang Shu's gaze remained fixed on the Crown Prince: "Butler, could you give me the clothes he's wearing? I'd like to get him a cenotaph in China."

The old steward knew Jiang Shu's place in his young master's heart and nodded without hesitation.

Rong Jingchen said softly, "This is a matter of life and death. Are you sure you don't want to examine him more carefully? If I may be so bold as to suggest it, his body doesn't look like he just died..."

"You're sick in the head, Rong! You personally blew up my young master a few months ago, and FY hasn't even settled accounts with you yet, and now you're cursing my young master for being abnormal..." The old butler pointed at Rong Jingchen and started cursing, "Just two hours ago, he personally entered the elevator in front of us, a living, breathing..."

Rong Jingchen gave up and indifferently changed the subject: "Let's go to the secret room and see the ice coffin."

Ten minutes later, inside the sealed room.

Jiang Shu looked at the huge ice coffin, sniffed, and said in a low voice, "Not long ago, he even video-called me and showed me this place."

Rong Jingchen remained silent, glancing around the secret chamber before his gaze swept over an open compartment above the coffin. It was completely empty; it was unclear whether anything had been stored there before. Aside from that, he found nothing unusual.

The ice coffin was moved out, and the Crown Prince's body was quickly placed inside.

Then, the old steward didn't dare to delay for a moment, used a turning point, and took the young master away from the island.

Jiang Shu watched the luxurious private jet recede into the distance, her body swaying slightly.

"Sister," Yan Yu said in a hoarse voice, "Are you alright?"

"I'm not feeling well." Jiang Shu gently clutched her chest. "It hurts so much here."

She seemed lost and confused, her almond-shaped eyes dim, and she muttered to herself, "From now on, no one will call me 'Baby' anymore..."

Yan Yu's eyes also reddened, and she felt very guilty: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gone to the submarine with him. If I hadn't gone, he wouldn't have been in trouble."

Jiang Shu shook her head: "It's not your fault. I'm glad you're alright."

Rong Jingchen called in his private jet and looked at Jiang Shu with a complicated expression: "Let's go back too. Ning Yunzhan still has a tough battle to fight."

Jiang Shu nodded and said nothing more. Two days later.

Next to Li Yubai's grave, a new grave has appeared.

They were all cenotaphs, with the same style of tombstones, and Jiang Shu brought another 10,000 yuan worth of paper money.

The sorrow in Yan Yu's heart was dispelled by the cartload of paper money. Avoiding Jiang Shu, she asked Rong Jingchen with mixed feelings, "Sister... even in matters like death, is everyone treated equally?"

Rong Jingchen glanced at him and said, "You can keep watching. If she brings a cartload of paper money after you die, I'll tell you when I visit your grave."

Yan Yu's gaze turned colder: "Why aren't you dead?"

“I’m willing to die.” Rong Jingchen looked into the distance. “I will be leaving for Piaomiao Continent tomorrow. If… you take good care of her, and when you visit her grave, tell me whether she has shown me any affection as well.”

Yan Yu's mood gradually sank.

Misty Continent.

Several elders sat on the hillside smoking pipes. The once gloomy vampire clan had been painted with bright red roses and wild roses in the past two days. Even the mottled courtyard walls, withered trees and weeds seemed to have come alive.

"Elder, is that plague god really going to harm the young lady?" The Second Elder asked with a bitter expression. "Whose side should we take then?"

“No one can help.” The elder’s brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly. “We can’t defeat the new master, and we certainly can’t collude with him to bully the young lady—the entire spirit staff is inside her body. Only she can use spiritual energy to fill the vampires with life.”

"Isn't there any way to stop it?" the Second Elder pondered. "It's not that marrying the new master is bad, but given the new master's bloodthirsty nature, I still prefer the young lady to remain beautiful on her own."

"Instead of thinking about these useless things, we should take good care of the vegetable garden and raise some pigs, cows, chickens, and ducks. The young lady has a picky palate. If she has to stay in the vampire clan in the future, we should at least make sure she has a good meal." The elder slowly got up and patted his leg. "I'm going to water the vegetable garden."

"Elder!" The Second Elder suddenly exclaimed!
The Grand Elder was irritated: "What is it now?"

The Second Elder and several other elders stood up, their pale faces filled with shock: "The...the former master..."

The Grand Elder suddenly turned around!
Then, the crimson pupils of the dozen or so elders stared intently at the edge of the forest.

There, under the setting sun, a graceful and elegant figure appeared leisurely.

Her cool and aloof demeanor, along with her exquisitely delicate features, even made the setting sun behind her appear somewhat dim.

The Grand Elder opened his mouth: "Former Master, you...you're not dead..."

"Hmm, he's not dead." The man's clear voice carried a barely perceptible hint of languor. "Ning Yunzhan, where are you now?"

"The new master's old wounds have been healed, yet another executioner's blade appears." The Grand Elder hesitated. "Former master, you have lost all your cultivation. Perhaps you should leave?"

The aloof and noble man laughed, his voice as clear as jade, "We'll talk after we've fought."

The Grand Elder pointed in the direction of the main hall: "He is in the main hall."

The next moment, the elegant man transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the distance! Wherever he passed, the bright red roses and hibiscus withered and fell, as if an invisible hand had pulled the festive vampires back to their gloomy state.

Domineering, forceful, yet carrying a touch of the former master's unique nonchalant ease...

"The former master at his peak..." The elders looked at each other, speechless with shock, "How...how is this possible?"
