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

Chapter 45 A Man's Prime of Life

Morning and Evening Operations Department.

Feng Zan looked at the puppet's live stream with suspicion. He felt that the streamer in the live stream today was different from the last time. Not only was he more muscular, but his movements and tone also had a certain familiarity.

Before I could figure it out, I was shocked by Yan Yu appearing in the live stream!
"Immediately notify the technical department, Chaomu might crash! Tell them to prepare!"

Over there, Wang, the head of the technical department, had already called, bewildered, and immediately called out his boss's name: "Feng Zan, the live stream suddenly received 130 million new visitors! Our technical department is going crazy! I feel like the Chaomu APP is going to crash within ten minutes..."

Feng Zan's face darkened: "Is this all the technology department is capable of? Who said it could accommodate 300 million people at peak times?"

"Who the hell knew Yan Yu would come to Chaomu! You know how popular he is! It's not just 300 million anymore—it's only been two minutes since he appeared, and 130 million fans have already flooded in! In the time it took me to talk to you, tens of millions more have joined, and I reckon it'll end up being more than 300 million..."

Feng Zan laughed angrily: "Then what do you suggest? I don't know how to program! What's the point of telling me!"

"It'll work! It'll work!" Minister Wang subtly suggested, "Yan Yu! That big shot created this traffic storm himself, why don't we ask him for help?"

"What help can he offer?" Minister Wang paused for a moment. "Help him bring in all of his millions of fans?"

Minister Wang took a deep breath: "Behind him stands a vast technological empire. Our Li family's technology team is just an underdeveloped child in front of them—China's top-level surveillance system, Tianluo, was programmed by Yan Yu himself, understand? The president of the Global Hacker Alliance is his maternal grandfather, understand?"

What else doesn't Feng Zan understand!

I immediately sent a connection request from the backend!
Puppet Man Livestream Room.

The handsome young man answered the call, raising an eyebrow: "What?"

"Due to the significant impact of your personal data usage, the Chaomu APP is expected to crash within ten minutes. What do you think?"

The young man calmly nodded: "Have your tech department prepare. My people will immediately take over Chaomu's backend operations until the live stream ends."

Feng Zan was overjoyed: "Thank you! Thank you so much!"

Three minutes later, Minister Wang rushed into the office like the wind: "President Feng! Yanxing Group has sent their top team to take over! They're full of big shots! Many of our procedures have been upgraded! Now, let alone 300 million, we're not afraid of 3 billion!"

Feng Zan, however, was deep in thought.

The Li family and the Yanxing Group have always been clearly separate entities with little interaction. Yan Yu, the heir of the Yanxing Group, is even more so, always going his own way and never giving face to anyone. When did he and his own boss secretly start interacting? And judging from how much attention these two puppets are paying to the live stream, their interaction is probably quite deep.

In the puppet-themed livestream room, Gao Jing observed the data: "It's already reached 300 million viewers..."

Jiang Liufeng's expression was slightly complicated. He had been singing and talking for twenty minutes, but the viewership was only around forty million. Meanwhile, Yan Yu had been sitting for less than five minutes, hadn't even sung a single song, and had already forced Chaomu to change its technical team...

The system is stable now, young man, prepare to finish this quickly!

Singing wasn't the main purpose. He picked a few songs with a traditional Chinese style and started singing. His heavenly voice had a more authentic feel than pre-recorded and uploaded music. Tender, sexy, seductive, clear, clean... The young man switched between different timbres at will. Not only were the hundreds of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room mesmerized, but even Gao Jing, Jiang Liufeng, and others in the live broadcast room were in a daze.

In Xinghua Village.

Since the conversation had started about Li Yubai, Assistant Yang gradually broadened his horizons, becoming quite unrestrained and eloquent, almost like a salesperson: "My boss not only has an exceptionally long flowering period (a hereditary trait), but his cooking skills are also superb. He apprenticed under the legendary Chinese chef, Mr. Zhong, and later went to France to learn many exquisite Western pastries from the master chef Florent, which are known for pleasing girls. In addition, my boss's voice is also very pleasant, almost comparable to Yan Yu's—Yan Yu, you all know him, right? That little brat with millions of fans online..."

As for why Yan Yu suddenly started using PUA tactics.

It wasn't entirely sudden. During the last livestream where Jiang Shu and Yan Yu connected, that little brat flirted with Jiang in front of the BOSS, showing they not only knew each other but were quite close. The only question is how close they were, and whether it might threaten the BOSS's position. But… better safe than sorry!
"Besides singing and acting, how long is Yan Yu's prime? Look at those lecherous old men in the Yan family with their toad bellies, their prime is obviously not long! Can he cook and be presentable in public? Obviously not! Who would live with him, eating instant noodles and pickles every day? That little brat is also a bit socially awkward, extremely dull, how boring would it be to be with him!"

The Bengal cat's gaze toward Assistant Yang became noticeably more amiable.

"Take FY's young master for example!" Assistant Yang recalled how the BOSS had knelt down and obediently picked up the diamonds and gold scattered on the ground, and felt a pang of sadness! That short-lived bastard used the money to curry favor, but in the end, it was their own BOSS who bore the brunt of it all!
The leopard cat's eyes suddenly turned cold!
Li Erniang became interested: "What about that Crown Prince?"

"A sickly guy, what else can he be!" Assistant Yang sneered. "That kind of person, let alone whether his 'flowering period' is long or not, has he ever had a 'flowering period'? He's always looking half-dead, he hasn't even bloomed yet, he's already withered! That kind of person is even less suitable for dating! Spending all day with him, are you after his broken body? Or are you after his pale, sickly face that looks like a ghost?"

Jiang Liuyun seemed to have thought of something: "He looks a bit weak, but his arrogant and demanding nature is unmatched by most people! As for that face... tsk tsk! Just looking at that face, all his other flaws are tolerable..."

The leopard cat jumped out of Jiang Shu's arms and ran into Jiang Liuyun's arms!
"Oh, my adorable grandson Ali!" Jiang Liuyun rubbed the cat's head, her eyes full of affection. "You love your grandma so much!"

FY's heir: "..."

Assistant Yang was taken aback and looked at Jiang Liuyun: "Madam Jiang, what you just said... have you met the Crown Prince of FY?"

"No!" Jiang Liuyun shook her head decisively. "I'm just a village woman. The farthest I've ever been is Jiangcheng. I usually just stay in the village and the town. How could I possibly have seen him! Absolutely not!"

FY's young master, Feng Li, lay in his mother-in-law's arms, looking at Jiang Liuyun's serious face, the terrifying scene from the previous night flashing through his mind...

For some reason, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: he had indeed seen another face beneath his mother-in-law's skin many years ago!

The boy was seventeen at the time, still somewhat immature yet breathtakingly beautiful. He was playing shooting games against the railing of the Changsheng cruise ship when a small speedboat drifted by. Jiang Liuyun and Li Erniang were sitting on that speedboat, wearing black cloaks and wide hoods, revealing only their young faces…

Both women seemed to be staring at him in a daze. He even heard Jiang Liuyun say, "Look at that face! Should we take him back and make him Shubao's son-in-law?"

Li Erniang said with some regret, "It's a pity about this body..."

"But he's handsome! Isn't that enough? Have you ever seen a more handsome boy?"

"But the FY heir is really difficult to deal with! Or should we consider arresting Li Yubai?"

Jiang Liuyun was still conflicted: "What should I do! I want to take them both as my sons-in-law..."

When FY's young master heard the two women talking, he thought it was just an ordinary encounter. After all, every woman who had met him had some thoughts about him, and he was used to it.

However, when he suddenly recalled this episode after many years, he felt a sense of vague destiny.

It turns out that many years ago, he and she almost met...
