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

Chapter 35 Transformation into a Bengal Cat

The atmosphere suddenly became strange for a moment.

Jiang Shu glanced at her phone and said, "Hurry up! I need some time to process this, and we have to leave before the bodyguards check the rooms."

FY's young master suddenly became hesitant: "Do I really have to take it off?"

"You were just begging me to tear it up."

"..." The man awkwardly said, "I don't care, just leave."

Jiang Shu scoffed, "It's not that I intentionally wanted to take advantage of you, it's just that the space I made can only accommodate living beings, not clothes. I'm going to the bathroom, call me when you're done taking them off."

Five minutes later, Jiang Shu watched two videos in the bathroom when a low, husky voice finally came from outside:

"All right."

Jiang Shu pushed open the door and came out. On the hospital bed, the man was huddled under the blanket, with only his slightly disheveled head showing.

"It might hurt a little the first time, but it won't hurt after that." Jiang Shu picked up the cat skin...

FY's young master's eyes shimmered: "It's nothing. Over the years, I've endured even the most painful things in order to treat my illness."

"It's not that bad, it'll probably be similar to the pain of a shot," Jiang Shu comforted softly. "Trust me, every needle I use is infused with the medicinal power of many herbs. The entire 30,000 needles form a health-preserving array, which should cure your congenital deficiency in a year at most."

The man nodded trustingly: "Okay, let's begin."

The girl suddenly leaned down, getting close to him, and said with a hint of reassurance, "Don't be nervous. You won't really turn into a cat—you've just entered a space full of spiritual energy and are able to control this cat skin."

After the girl finished speaking, she gently reached out and pressed her hand on the man's head.

A hazy halo of light suddenly exploded!

Then, vibrant colors filled the entire room!
The colors grew increasingly intense, lasting for a full five minutes, and then suddenly disappeared!

Outside the door, the bodyguards were drawn to the light shining through the crack in the ward door.

"It's supposed to be a rainy day today, so how come there's sunshine..." the bodyguard muttered to himself, pushing open the ward door with unease.

The room was empty, except for the prince's disheveled clothes scattered on the floor...

The bodyguard was completely bewildered: "Quickly, notify the master!"

……

The girl climbed in through the window of the eighth-floor corridor!

The hospital suddenly became heavily guarded, with bodyguards searching each ward, and the entire corridor under the control of well-trained military personnel. Every man passing by became a key target for inspection.

The girl, carrying an empty backpack and holding a haughty Bengal cat in her arms, walked along the corridor toward the elevator as if no one else was around.

Countless eyes scrutinized her for a moment, then moved on.

The girl carried the cat into the elevator and out of the hospital.

Then, without wasting a moment, I hailed a taxi and headed towards the private airport.

Country F.

In the seaside villa, Rong Jingchen sat on the sofa with dozens of photos of women spread out in front of him.

A subordinate brings the latest news: "My lord, the Crown Prince of FY has mysteriously disappeared!"

Rong Jingchen showed no surprise, simply instructing, "Get the hospital's surveillance footage."

"They've already been transferred!" the subordinate hurriedly replied. "Old Feng is frantic. He's entrusted various forces to help him find his grandson, and even we've received their requests."

"reject."

"……Yes."

Rong Jingchen fell silent. His subordinates projected the surveillance footage onto the video wall; the high-definition cameras provided a clear view of the entire hospital.

Ten minutes later, Rong Jingchen paused the surveillance footage on the scene where Jiang Shu appeared in the corridor holding the cat. He stared at the cat for a long time...

The subordinate swallowed hard: "Isn't this... the future mistress? Where did she pick up this cat? It has a dull look in its eyes, is slow-moving, and doesn't seem very bright..."

Rong Jingchen's eyes held a turbulent, dark look. He said nothing, but instead dialed a video call.

Much later, the call was answered, and a cold, aloof man appeared on the screen:

What brings you here?

"Commander Nie, I'd like to make a deal with you."

He hesitated for two seconds on the other end before replying, "Speak."

“Allow me to enter the country and stay in your country for a year.” Before the other party could refuse, Rong Jingchen offered his sincerity: “All the research and development data and new weapons of the RC1 Arms Base for the next five years will be donated to your country free of charge.”

The other party remained silent.

Rong Jingchen added, "Furthermore, during my year in your country, I will absolutely not cause any trouble. If your country encounters any major international disputes, I can step in to help resolve them."

Commander Nie was slightly moved, but remained cautious: "Your Excellency is the type who won't act without a reason, and I don't want to invite trouble into the house."

Rong Jingchen sighed: "Ten years of R&D data and weapons, a meager gift of two billion US dollars, plus the right to use the Extreme Sky Mercenary Group under my control for a year without compensation—that's no more. I still need to save some for my wife's dowry to fight a war of attrition with a group of rivals."

Commander Nie nodded: "I will present your conditions and demands to my superiors."

The video call abruptly ended.

Beside him, a subordinate complained, "Of all those international bigwigs, Nie Zheng is the most unyielding and unfathomable."

Rong Jingchen gave a noncommittal "hmm".

The subordinate was a little pained: "Isn't the price you're paying too high, sir, just to live in China for a year?"

Rong Jingchen did not answer, but simply said softly, "You can leave now."

Soon, only Rong Jingchen remained in the room.

The sunlight streaming in through the window couldn't dispel the gloom inside.

His gaze fell on a large group of photos of women, his thoughts slightly dazed...

When did you start to fall into that obsession?
At what seemed like the early stages of his life, a powerful and strikingly handsome young man was just beginning his perfect journey, yet he discovered he had a morbid attraction to women…

He would suddenly fall in love with a woman's eyes, and soon after, he would fall in love with another woman's nose, mouth, ears... He kept collecting them, and gradually he had nearly a hundred of them. Those women were like pieces of a large puzzle. Even if he pieced them together, he could not fill the emptiness and desolation in his heart.

Later, it even developed to the point that he would have the desire to collect certain foods simply because a woman liked to eat braised deer tendon and osmanthus shark fin soup...

He was always looking for something, but he didn't know what he was looking for. His body was like a numb, empty shell, and his soul was filled with anxiety and unease.

Until he met Jiang Shu six months ago.

The girl carefully made her way through the layers of security, and as if by magic, appeared before him, speaking to him warily:

"I'm here to discuss a business deal with you. You can refuse, but could you please not lay a hand on me? I just checked, and you have too many men and weapons. If you attack me, I won't be able to escape."

He looked at the girl, and although it was their first meeting, his heart was pounding and his soul was trembling. The 'fragments' he had collected over the years, all appearing in different women, suddenly pieced together clearly to form the face of the girl before him...

To be precise, all the fragments he had collected in the past became inferior and defective the moment the girl appeared.

The moment the girl appeared, he could not only describe every detail of her, but he even knew that she must love to eat braised deer tendon, osmanthus shark fin soup, and mandarin duck jade chicken...

It's like meeting an old friend after many years.

Emerging from his memories, Rong Jingchen tore up all the messy photos of women and then looked towards China.

"I don't know what destiny we share. But it's okay, I'll find the answer myself by your side over the next year..."
