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

Chapter 230 Let's take a global trip!
Amidst the blooming wildflowers, Jiang Shu lay contentedly in Feng Li's arms, flipping through newly taken photos and videos. The usually arrogant and wicked Crown Prince was now as docile as a cat, lazily crouching among the flowers, casually reaching out to play with Jiang Shu's hair.

Li Yubai gently flicked his finger, extending his fingertip to clean the fallen flowers from Jiang Shu's shoulder, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Later, Rong Jingchen, who had finished dealing with the snakes, also came over. He casually kicked away a few sharp stones next to Jiang Shu's feet and handed her a cute water cup: "You've sweated so much, have some water."

Jiang Shu took the water glass, and Rong Jingchen stood in front of Li Yubai, chatting with him in a low voice:

“Those creatures were taken away.” Rong Jingchen paused for a moment. “They looked huge, and they were the kind of creatures that were highly poisonous, but I didn’t expect them to be so docile. They only put up a little resistance and didn’t hurt anyone.”

Li Yubai was slightly surprised: "Where is that person?"

He was referring to the real Ning Yunzhan.

Rong Jingchen glanced at Jiang Shu: "It doesn't seem like a good time to expose them yet. I've secretly imprisoned her again. Just let me know when you need me."

Li Yubai gave a faint "hmm".

Just then, Jiang Shu's phone rang; it was Yan Yu sending a video call.

Yan Yu was still on set, feeling incredibly bored. As soon as the video call connected, she launched into a long, rambling monologue, fully expressing her loneliness and isolation, before finally getting to the point:
"You're all on Floating Cloud Island? Lots of photos have been circulating online lately; Floating Cloud Island is really popular. Ning Yunzhan must have made a fortune again?"

Jiang Shu glanced guiltily at the dozen or so deep pits that had turned Floating Cloud Island into a mess: "It's a pity you didn't come; it almost turned into a giant zoo."

"I'd like to come," Yan Yu muttered. "Today isn't our usual family outing, and you guys are leaving me to go on vacation to Floating Cloud Island. I'm really heartbroken."

Jiang Shu smiled and said, "I'll definitely bring you next time."

far away.

Ning Yunzhan's stubborn heart suddenly felt a pang of bitterness, as if he suddenly couldn't fit in. He stood there quietly, the early winter wind of the capital city biting and seeping into his thin clothes. The bone-chilling cold made the anger and darkness in his heart seem to break free of its prison.

Jiang Shu happened to look over and exclaimed, "Ning Yunzhan, what are you doing standing so far away? You're so handsome, why don't you come over to this queen and take a picture with me so I can show it off everywhere?"

The undercurrent in his heart receded quickly, and Jiang Shu's smiling eyes were like a beam of light. Warmth rose from Ning Yunzhan's bones, and he suddenly smiled!

He slowly exchanged a glance with Li Yubai, his voice gentle and smiling: "Okay, I'm coming."

As night fell, Yan Yu also arrived.

The group rested on Floating Cloud Island. Ning Yunzhan set up a barbecue buffet in the hotel's rooftop garden. At the table that could just accommodate six people, Jiang Shu was watching a flower arrangement tutorial video on her phone and inserting freshly picked flowers into a white jade vase.

Yan Yu took a selfie with her phone close to Jiang Shu.

The other four were busy grilling meat.

The aroma of roasting filled the garden, and a sliver of moonlight appeared in the slightly darkened sky.

Li Yubai suddenly spoke up: "What are everyone's plans for the next family team building activity?"

"Our patron would like to play a treasure hunt game," Ning Yunzhan said softly. "How about a treasure hunt on Floating Cloud Island?"

Yan Yu, unaware that Ning Yunzhan's identity had been exposed, said with great interest, "Great! I also have some treasures over there, which I can use as prizes."

Jiang Shu quickly clarified: "Fun little darlings are fine, but don't bring up things like share certificates and sales contracts, they're pointless."

"We don't need to use those tacky things." Ning Yunzhan laughed, handed her a piece of grilled meat, and casually picked up a glass of juice. "Want to go up to the top and take a look?"

At the very top of the Sky Garden is a Moon-Viewing Terrace, ten meters above the ground, covered with red roses.

Jiang Shu liked it at first glance: "Go!"

She grabbed Ning Yunzhan's hand and started walking up the spiral staircase next to them.

Li Yubai and the others watched the two figures walk away in silence. Yan Yu felt the atmosphere was noticeably tense. He turned and went back into the house, saying, "Are you all giving me attitude or just showing it to my sister? If you're out having fun, be sensible and don't spoil her fun. I'll go get my violin and set the mood."

Li Yubai, Rong Jingchen, and Feng Li exchanged glances. Feng Li picked up his wine to break the silence: "Former master, would you like a drink?"

Upon hearing this address, Rong Jingchen, who had been looking solemn, suddenly turned to look at Li Yubai!
Li Yubai lowered his eyelids: "Does she... know too?"

"Whether she knows or not, how would I know?" Feng Li did not answer directly, but looked at Li Yubai with interest. "I saw the new master's butcher's knife. Tsk tsk, it's quite powerful."

Li Yubai: "One of the three sacred artifacts of the vampire clan, it is naturally powerful."

"Look at how intimate he is with the sugar daddy." Feng Li sneered, gesturing for everyone to look at the Moon Gazing Terrace. "I remember you mentioned that the sugar daddy's mortal enemy seems to be that new master. Aren't we going to do something about it?"

Rong Jingchen was still a little confused: "Former master?"

“Since you’ve taken control of the Extreme Heaven and investigated the events at the Meridian Pavilion back then, don’t you know that the Extreme Heaven took on an exorbitantly priced job to assassinate me, the new leader of the Blood Clan?” Li Yubai said casually. “I thought you could figure out my identity.”

"..." Rong Jingchen laughed angrily, "Who the hell could have imagined that such freaks as vampires would have two of them infiltrate our family at the same time, both of them being vampire lords and mortal enemies?"

Li Yubai hummed in agreement: "It is indeed a bit hard to imagine."

"Since you're the former master and the top fighter of that clan, why did you tell me so seriously that we couldn't do anything to him?" Rong Jingchen raised an eyebrow.

Li Yubai took the wine poured by Feng Li and pondered, "I can't beat him."

Feng Li sneered, "That dog of a man is already a useless person, so don't count on him, you surnamed Rong."

Rong Jingchen: "...We have many men in our family, but none of them are of any use!"

Li Yubai sighed softly, "Let's take our family on a world tour next month..."

"You still have the mind to travel the world at a time like this?" Rong Jingchen looked at Ning Yunzhan and Jiang Shu, who were enjoying themselves. "With that thing's fighting ability, he could have dug up every corner of the wall."

“That’s why I travel the world…” Li Yubai replied softly.

Beside him, Feng Li chuckled knowingly: "Well, China loves peace, so it's more appropriate to choose a propitious place abroad to fight."

Rong Jingchen remained silent for a few seconds, then, as if he had realized something, raised his glass to the two of them.

On the terrace.

Jiang Shu leaned on the railing, holding a juice, gazing into the distance.

"It's strange, last time I felt palpitations and discomfort here, but today I feel unusually comfortable."

“Hmm, maybe the feng shui wasn’t very good before.” Ning Yunzhan stood beside her, his voice gentler than the night breeze. “Last time you said you didn’t like the layout of the island, so I changed it. Look, doesn’t it look like a money bag now?”

Jiang Shu's gaze fell on the other hotels and buildings scattered in the distance, and she nodded: "They look like them, they have an aura of wealth accumulation."

Ning Yunzhan smiled, his meaning ambiguous, and said, "This Floating Cloud Island can only accumulate some wealth now, which is a pity."

"Huh?" Jiang Shu didn't quite understand what he meant.

“I was planning to pamper my precious baby here, but unfortunately the feng shui is bad, and I can’t keep her.” Ning Yunzhan patted her head. “Even these harmonious days are coming to an end.”

"What riddle are you speaking in?" Jiang Shu asked, puzzled.

Ning Yunzhan pointed to the group of people chatting and drinking in the garden below: "Let's go down and join them. Every time we get together, it'll be one less time we have to."

In the garden, Yan Yu had already brought out her violin and was softly playing and singing under the night sky.

The beautiful melody and his heavenly voice were like a thin veil temporarily covering the surging undercurrents, stealing half a day of tranquility before the storm.
