He just broke up with his girlfriend and is already living with the devilish rich girl.

In the alleyway late at night, there was a sour stench of fermenting garbage, and several stray dogs were scavenging for food next to an overturned garbage can.

Hearing footsteps, they all looked up and stared warily at the two people at the alley entrance.

Bai Ziheng stood in front of the garbage heap with one hand in his pocket and a cigarette between his fingers in the other.

He glanced at the messy trash cans on the ground, then turned to look at Luo Yao.

Are you sure the person is here?

"Hmm~ That's strange~"

Luo Yao pinched her chin, her golden eyes narrowing in the darkness as she scanned the empty alleyway.

"There's still a trace of her presence. According to the information I bought from Qingyao at a high price, she should be hiding in the garbage dump nearby."

"A blind little girl, hunted by multiple parties, penniless and with nowhere to go, where else could she be but a garbage dump?"

Bai Ziheng did not respond.

He walked up to the stray dogs and squatted down.

The lead yellow-haired mongrel bared its teeth and growled a low warning, while the other two pricked up their ears and tensed their bodies.

Bai Ziheng glanced at them, then spoke.

"Woof woof."

The two stray dogs twitched their ears and retracted their bared teeth.

The one in the lead tilted its head, as if confirming something.

Bai Ziheng called out twice more, this time in an even lower voice.

The three stray dogs wagged their tails at the same time.

Luo Yao turned around when she heard the noise and saw that the wild dogs that had been baring their teeth at her just now were all gathered around Bai Ziheng's feet, their tails wagging like propellers.

The fiercest yellow-haired mongrel even rolled over so he could scratch its belly.

Bai Ziheng was squatting on the ground, earnestly communicating with them in a voice somewhere between a growl and a whimper, occasionally nodding.

It's like they're confirming information.

Luo Yao was taken aback at first, then laughed so hard she bent over.

"Hahahaha, you, you are... no, I told you to digest the power of those strange beasts, but don't digest it so thoroughly, hahahaha."

She clutched her stomach and leaned against the wall, almost laughing through her tears.

"This isn't a hyena's ability; it's just your personal interest, isn't it? How come you're calling a dog your sworn brother? When did you two become sworn brothers?"

Bai Ziheng didn't even turn his head; his hand was still scratching the chin of the big yellow dog.

"They are easier to communicate with than I am. At least they answer my questions directly, without going through eighteen roundabout ways and ending up with all sorts of messy things on me."

"Hmm~" Luo Yao stopped laughing a little, but the corners of her mouth were still turned up.

She walked to Bai Ziheng's side in her delicate ankle boots, bent down, and gently patted the top of his head.

Then he used his fingertips to lift his chin and scratch it.

"Well... good puppy, good puppy, can you tell me what the person who took that blind little girl looks like?"

Bai Ziheng let her complete the set of actions, then turned and barked at the dogs a few more times.

The yellow-haired mongrel wagged its tail and barked twice in response.

"A boy carrying a sword."

Bai Ziheng stood up and dusted off his knees.

"He was probably eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in casual clothes, and walked silently."

"Two hours ago, he carried the person away from the trash can."

"A boy carrying a sword?"

Luo Yao blinked, her finger still resting on Bai Ziheng's chin.

"These features are too obvious. There are only a handful of young people in the Special Administration Bureau who are good at sword control. Eighteen or nineteen years old, in civilian clothes, and carrying a sword... Hmm, could he be Zheng Ningyuan's son?"

She withdrew her hand, her smile becoming even more meaningful.

"This is really interesting. Zheng Ningyuan was working with me on the surface to investigate that factory, but his son secretly poached my people. This family has a rather unique way of doing things."

Bai Ziheng put the cigarette back in his mouth.

"Are you sure the power to control resides with that blind woman?"

"Of course~"

Luo Yao stretched out her finger and gently touched the tip of her nose.

"That's mine. Even though it's just a fragment, I know its aura all too well."

"The power of chaos creates the breath of beasts, and the power of domination controls the berserk beasts. It is the combination of these two things that caused all the chaos before."

"The source of chaos is still unknown, but the fragments of the power of control are within this woman."

She paused, turned her head to look at Bai Ziheng, and smiled so hard her eyes curved into two crescent moons.

"I found the information that Qingyao bought at such a high price, only to find out that it was located in a garbage dump. It's really... sigh, never mind, let's not talk about it."

"At least now we know who has her."

Bai Ziheng remained silent for a moment, then exhaled a puff of white smoke.

"If you catch her, what are your plans?"

Luo Yao slowly raised her hand and gently tapped his chest with her fingertips, her fingertips touching his heart through his clothes.

"It's not about what I plan to do, it's about you."

"Since those old fogies at the Special Administration Bureau don't respect me, use my power to do evil, and don't want to pay me back, then it's perfectly reasonable for me to take back a portion in advance, isn't it?"

"The fragment of dominance within her is a small piece that fell from me. Though small, it's enough to help you unlock greater power."

She drew a circle on his heart with her finger.

"So what you need to do is find her, confirm whether the fragments are still in her body, and if they are... eat her."

Bai Ziheng stared into her eyes without moving: "Eating people?"

"Don't look at me like that, bro~" Luo Yao withdrew her hand, put her hands behind her back and took a half step back.

"She's not human, or at least not entirely."

"She was created, just like those berserk monsters in the factory, only more sophisticated and more human-like."

Seeing that Bai Ziheng remained silent, Luo Yao's smile became even more eerie and sinister.

She suddenly pinched Bai Ziheng's cheek, forcing him to look at her.

"Hey buddy, you only need to look at me."

"I've worked so hard to become the person you like, and if you abandon me after taking advantage of me... I'll be very angry."

...

...

Inside the safe house, Zheng Xingguang had just poured the dregs of the medicine into the trash can when he heard the bathroom door click open.

He instinctively turned his head and froze on the spot.

Number I came out of the bathroom, completely naked.

Water droplets trickled down her pale skin, and her wet, long hair clung to her back.

She stood barefoot at the bathroom door, still steaming, her expressionless face turned slightly towards Zheng Xingguang, her head tilted to the side.

There was no attempt to conceal anything; her arms hung naturally at her sides, as if she were waiting for something.

"All done washing."

Her voice was hoarse and flat, as if she were completing a task that had been assigned to her.

The medicine bowl in Zheng Xingguang's hand fell to the ground with a "clatter" and shattered. He quickly turned around, his back to her, his ears so red they looked like they were about to bleed.
