Who moved her body?

Xu Haiyang returned to his room, where a table lamp was on in the living room.

"The cleaning staff must have forgotten to turn it off," Xu Haiyang thought.

Xu Haiyang threw off all his clothes and onto the sofa.

"Going to the amusement park is going to kill me!" Xu Haiyang could almost hear the cracking sound of his own bones.

However, the lamp stubbornly resisted Xu Haiyang's languor, its dimness seeming a little off.

Xu Haiyang stood up, intending to turn off the lamp. As he stood up and walked towards the lamp, he saw a white corner protruding from under the lamp base.

Xu Haiyang lifted the lamp and took out half a sheet of A4 paper.

He looked around to make sure the curtains were drawn before turning the side with the writing on it over.

"The meeting has been exposed."

The five characters, crooked and scrambled, looked like a second-grade child hastily completing a 100-word dictation assignment given by the teacher in ten minutes, almost illegible.

Xu Haiyang bit his lower lip, picked up a lighter, lit the paper, threw it into the toilet, and flushed it away.

What bothered him more than being discovered meeting with Chen Kaipiao was the note that kept appearing in his room.

This wasn't the first time. Although he had suspected many people, he still couldn't figure out who was the person secretly helping him.

The feeling of being secretly helped is no better than the feeling of being secretly watched. In Xu Haiyang's opinion, the person who could obtain Situ Feng's information and freely enter and leave his room must be an upper-class figure on Huangyan Island, and someone Situ Feng trusts.

There are very few people Situ Feng can trust. Uncle Zhao is the first, followed by the elusive "shadow man" around Situ Feng, and several other high-ranking figures whom Situ Feng cannot do without.

However, Xu Haiyang had investigated all of these people and ruled them out without exception.

The ashes in the toilet mingled with the water and went down the drain. Xu Haiyang looked in the mirror and asked himself, "Who exactly is the trump card lurking beside Situ Feng?"

When Lin Yue told him this secret ten years ago, he thought it was a joke. However, as his progressed, Situ Feng's increased vigilance led him to occasionally provide Xu Haiyang with information. Only after Xu Haiyang repeatedly escaped danger did he believe Lin Yue's words, "Situ Feng has someone on his side."

Xu Haiyang knew that now was not the time to search for "one of their own." Once he discovered this person's true identity, Situ Feng would also find out. This was not the outcome he wanted.

Xu Haiyang took a shower, put on a black shirt and a white suit, fixed his beloved hairstyle with hair gel, and then added a new bow tie. He was extremely satisfied with himself when he looked in the mirror.

He knocked on Guan Jie's door and threw a white suit jacket at Guan Jie, who was shirtless.

"Wear something white to look presentable for work tonight."

Guan Jie, holding up the collar of his suit jacket, said, "I'll go in and put on a shirt."

"What's the point of wearing anything? Just like this is fine." Xu Haiyang slammed Guan Jie's door shut. "If I had your pecs, I'd be running around naked in the streets every day. Seriously, let's get going."

"I... this..." Guan Jie shrugged. "I forgot my keys, boss."

"Come on, do you think this door can stop you?"

Guan Jie looked helpless and had no choice but to put on his white suit jacket.

This was Xu Haiyang's size, and the loose-fitting casual suit instantly transformed into a fitted style on Guan Jie. His two prominent pectoral muscles seemed extremely uncomfortable, vying to peek out. The sleeves were also tight against Guan Jie's skin, making it difficult even to bend his arms, so he had to roll them up slightly. However, the waistline was well-fitting, highlighting Guan Jie's slender and perfect abdomen, making one want to reach out and touch it.

"Damn it, I've always looked down on those gym bastards, thought they were pretentious, but seeing you wearing my clothes is the first time I've felt jealous." Xu Haiyang punched Guan Jie's right pectoral muscle. "Ouch, not bad."

Guan Jie was both amused and exasperated. "Boss, are you expecting me to dress like this so late at night? Are you suggesting I sacrifice my sexuality?"

"You'll see when you get there. Here you go." Xu Haiyang tossed the car keys to Guan Jie.

……

The security guard at the exit walked to the passenger side and respectfully saluted Xu Haiyang.

"Young Master, what brings you out so late?"

"Just write anything, anything about eating, drinking, picking up girls, etc." Xu Haiyang said casually.

"That won't do. If the boss finds out, we'll be in a difficult position."

Xu Haiyang said impatiently, "Go out and meet the client, okay?"

"Alright, alright, young master, go out to meet the client." The security guard gave a satisfied salute and then opened the exit door to let Xu Haiyang through.

"Bureaucratic! They know I'm not going out to do anything productive at this time, yet they force me to lie. You guys are something else..."

"Young Master, please don't make things difficult for us. We're just following the rules," the security guard said with a smile.

"Alright, since you're so serious, do me a favor. Tonight I'm going to deal with Chen Kaipiao. Remember, if I'm not back in three hours, send a message to my cousin saying that Chen Kaipiao killed me, and tell him he must avenge me." Xu Haiyang leaned out of the car window and instructed, "Oh, and burn plenty of valuable paper money during holidays, so I don't suffer in the underworld."

The security guard's neck jutted out several centimeters, his face showing surprise.

"Young Master, are you going to deal with Chen Kaipiao? But I heard from the boss that..."

Xu Haiyang stretched out his hand. "Don't mention this to me. It makes me feel so aggrieved. Remember what I told you. If I die and Chen Kaipiao is still wandering around, I'll haunt you even as a ghost. Also, don't you dare tattle on me to my cousin, or I'll make you pay."

The security guards were stunned. Xu Haiyang waved his hand forward, "Zhao Ren, let's go!"

……

At the crucial moment of trying to conceive, the phone rang in Situ Feng's room.

"Don't worry about it!" Situ Feng said to Alice.

The phone rang shrilly, piercing their eardrums. Their engrossed bodies suddenly gave way, hormones mischievously escaping from their nerve endings, making their attempt at conception temporarily halted.

Situ Feng picked up the receiver with great dissatisfaction.

"Boss, Young Master Zhao has taken Zhao Ren to the Butterfly Club. Should we stop them?"

……

As the car turned onto the one-way street leading to the entrance of the Butterfly Club, Guan Jie switched the headlights to high beams. A tall figure stood at the end of the high beams' reach, like an insurmountable dam blocking the middle of the road.

Xu Haiyang reminded Guan Jie, "The show is about to begin."

Guan Jie stepped on the brakes and slowly approached the tall, somewhat ghostly man.

Xu Haiyang jumped out of the car and stammered, "Shadow, Brother Shadow, what are you doing here?"

Like his name, this man is like a shadow, an unfathomable yet real presence, seemingly capable of being punched through but impossible to attack.

Shadow rolled his eyes, his pale whites covering most of his eyes. Not only Xu Haiyang, but Guan Jie also felt the chilling murderous aura.

"The boss wants you to go back immediately."

"How did my cousin know?" Xuan Haiyang pouted, feeling wronged, then slapped his thigh. "They're all security guards at the exit. That bastard is a real piece of work. I kindly asked him to pass on a message, but he actually dared to sell me out. Just wait until I get back, I'll teach him a lesson."

"I'll repay you double for the trouble you caused him," Shadow said coldly.

Xu Haiyang pulled his head back, as if he had swallowed a bitter pill.

"Shadow Bro, you've been following Cousin the whole time, and Cousin treats you like his alter ego. And look at me, I'm my cousin's own brother, so we're practically family. Hehe, why make things difficult for each other when we're family?" Xu Haiyang grinned slyly as he shuffled closer to Shadow Bro, saying, "Just go back and tell Cousin you couldn't find me, and then everything will be fine, right? Haha."

Shadow raised his right palm and placed it between himself and Xu Haiyang.

"I don't lie."

"I see."

Xu Haiyang moved his chin from side to side a few times, made a few noises, and then suddenly had an idea.

"Brother Shadow must love me just as much as my cousin does. In that case, why don't you come with me to the Butterfly Club? With Zhao Ren on board, we'll definitely take Chen Kaipiao down, okay?" Xu Haiyang clapped his hands confidently and said, "I was worried before that Zhao Ren alone might not have a chance of winning, but with you on board, we're absolutely guaranteed to win."

Shadow completely ignored Xu Haiyang's "pouring and drinking by himself" and went straight to the car to open the door.

"The boss told me to take you back immediately upon seeing you."

"No, this... well... okay."

Xu Haiyang looked like he had just lost a cockfight. He lowered his head and obediently but unwillingly got into the car. He also looked like a girl who had been caught in the act by her father, whose rebellious spirit had finally been defeated by reality.

Guan Jie turned around and went back, but the shadow in the rearview mirror never looked up.

Guan Jie waited outside Situ Feng's villa. Xu Haiyang followed the shadow into the gate, but after only a few steps, the shadow disappeared under a grove of flowering trees.

Uncle Zhao opened the door to the reception room for Xu Haiyang, just as Chen Kaipiao came out of the reception room.

Chen Kaipiao bowed and smiled, retreating all the way to the door before turning around.
