SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

Lu Ping patted him on the shoulder and nodded, saying, "Don't overthink it. We've been stuck at the sixth rank for so long, let's focus on improving our strength first."

"I hope to share some of the pressure with Chief Ning Mo and Chief Feng Xi in future wars."

Feng Xi, standing at the forefront, frowned and spoke with displeasure: "We could have easily killed him, so why let him go?"

Ning Mo paused, then said in a deep voice, "Killing Elder Lei now would cause even greater casualties for Zhen'e Court. The time is not yet right."

Feng Xi stepped into the elevator helplessly and pressed the floor button: "Then you might as well have killed him!"

She turned to the side, watching the elevator doors slowly close, her tone tinged with anxiety: "With both his arms severed, he's already half-crippled. Do you think the Central Command won't retaliate? Right now, the only thing that can make them hesitate is the Black Iron Prison incident."

"They would assume that the third-party force is someone hidden in the shadows by the Zhen'e Ting, but that's not the case at all."

"No, not at all." Ning Mo followed him into the elevator, adding, "In such an evil place, do you think an elder with both arms severed would still have any value?"

"Moreover, those in the central government who want to rise to power might actually have to thank us."

"Shen Rou has already released the surveillance footage online immediately, so he has no choice but to suffer this loss."

……

Inside the Duanshe Tavern in Jiangcheng.

Gu Cang was scrolling through his phone when he saw the image on the screen and froze, muttering under his breath, "Holy shit."

This sound instantly attracted the attention of Xiaoman and Sanshi, and the two of them came over.

San Shi stared at the blazing fire on Gu Cang's phone and immediately laughed, "Brother Gu, this video has already surpassed ten million views!"

"I really don't know who had the time to burn down an abandoned ancient city. The fire was burning way too fiercely!"

"But how did that person manage to set the entire ancient city ablaze at the same time?" Xiaoman's beautiful eyes flickered with doubt.

"Brother Gu, what do you think?" San Shi turned to Gu Cang again.

Gu Cang lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled the smoke. He then lay back in the leather chair and said in a hoarse voice, "How else can I watch? I'll just watch while lying down."

"Alright, it's getting late, go get some rest."

The two of them simultaneously pursed their lips and turned to walk towards the guest rooms upstairs.

Gu Cang, however, kept staring at the video of flames shooting into the sky on his phone, his finger constantly tapping the replay button.

He gazed at the flames engulfing the ancient city on the screen and murmured, "Brother, you're really something. You've been quietly working on something big again?"

"What's hidden inside this abandoned ancient city?"

……

In the early hours of the morning, the city of Saint Capital was completely silent, with only a few vehicles speeding along the main road in the darkness.

On the side road outside the main gate of St. John's College, a red SUV was parked steadily next to a black Maybach.

Just as Lin Mu was about to push open the car door, Su Nianhe suddenly grabbed his arm: "It's already this late, do you still want Yan Yan to open the door for you?"

Before Lin Mu could respond, Su Nianhe added with a smile, "I have a villa in Shengjing. I'll rest for a night before going back, otherwise... I'll worry about you."

"No need, I'll go straight back to Jiangcheng."

As Lin Mu opened the car door and got out, Su Nianhe's hurried voice came from behind him: "Hey! Stop dawdling, get in my car, I'm not going to eat you!"

"If you don't come, I'll come to see Yan Yan every day. I'll give you one minute to think it over: 60, 30, 1, time's up..."

Lin Mu raised an eyebrow and calmly said, "Lead the way." Then he turned and walked towards the Maybach.

"Hmph, you were easily manipulated by me." Su Nianhe raised a seductive smile.

After Lin Mu started the vehicle, she lightly pressed the accelerator, and the SUV roared onto the main road, with the black Maybach following closely behind.

Lin Mu gripped the steering wheel with one hand, his brow furrowing unconsciously. He muttered to himself, "Wait, why did I suddenly follow her? Why did I listen to her?"

Despite saying that, he didn't let go of the accelerator and kept close behind the red SUV in front of him.

15 minute later.

Inside a luxurious detached villa in the city center, two cars slowly drove in, cutting through the night.

The car came to a stop directly in front of the villa. Lin Mu got out of the car, his gaze sweeping over the brightly lit villa, his eyes filled with doubt.

Su Nianhe walked gracefully to his side, her voice soft: "What are you looking at?"

"Are there other people in the villa?" Lin Mu asked calmly.

Su Nianhe followed his gaze and chuckled, "What are you thinking about? I had the butler open it beforehand. It's been a long time since I stayed in Shengjing."

After saying that, she grabbed Lin Mu's arm and walked towards the door: "Don't overthink it, okay? I've never lived with a man before, except for you, of course."

Lin Mu didn't say anything, nor did he push her hand away, letting her lead him into the villa.

With a "click," the door was pushed open, revealing a luxurious interior.

"What are you standing there for? Come in." Su Nianhe smiled and casually draped her black coat over the coat rack in the entryway.

The black lace camisole underneath was fully exposed, revealing her delicate collarbones, smooth shoulder lines, and clinging tightly to her waist and abdomen, perfectly highlighting her slender waist and pert curves.

Lin Mu watched her retreating figure, his eyes involuntarily darting away, before walking into the living room.

"Sit wherever you like, make yourself at home." Su Nianhe sat gracefully on the sofa and casually took off her black casual pants.

"Wait!" Lin Mu quickly stepped forward and grabbed her hand. "Why didn't you go back to your room while you were changing? Don't you know there's a difference between men and women?"

"What a hassle, it's not like you haven't seen it before."

Su Nianhe pouted, met Lin Mu's gaze, and gave in: "Okay, okay, I'll go back to my bedroom and change the subject. Why are you being so nosy in my own home?" After saying that, she pulled up her pants and walked towards her bedroom.

Lin Mu sat helplessly on the sofa and sighed, "Why did I end up going home with her?"

A moment later, soft footsteps approached from afar.

Lin Mu looked up and froze on the spot.

Su Nianhe, wearing a super short wine-red lace nightgown, with her snow-white legs exposed, walked lightly towards him. The nightgown swayed slightly with her steps, and the scenery under the hem was faintly visible.

"I've changed my clothes, do I look good?" Su Nianhe smiled alluringly.

Lin Mu turned her head away and said calmly, "Which bedroom do I sleep in?"

"You haven't answered my question yet."

Su Nianhe walked to the front of Lin Mu's line of sight again, her fair legs swaying in front of him, and the scenery under her skirt became clearer.

Lin Mu grabbed her arm and pressed her down onto the sofa, saying helplessly, "Stop making me repeat myself. Be serious."

Su Nianhe's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, then she chuckled, her voice alluring: "Lin Mu, do you want to see who's being indecent here?"

The moment Lin Mu turned to look at her, his heart skipped a beat!

When I pulled her arm just now, I accidentally pulled down her nightgown by the shoulder. Now, the right shoulder strap is slowly slipping down, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin.

He quickly reached out to help her pull up the shoulder strap, then turned his head again: "Sorry, I didn't mean to."
