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

Chapter 255 Extra: Demon 3
In the corner, a man wrapped in a black cloak squatted silently beneath a rose bush, sketching. His exquisite features seemed sealed away, oblivious to any outside movement, immersed in his own world. Only the design draft before him seemed to take on vibrant colors…

"You know what, this plague god, ever since Lord Puppet destroyed his meridians, his power, and his mind, he's been acting like a dazed fool every day, and he's actually much more pleasing to the eye than before," the Second Elder sighed.

The dean pondered, "I heard that the Puppet Master was prepared to leave him alive, but he begged to keep his face and hands. For some reason, the Puppet Master agreed... Now look what's happened. This plague god is indeed stupid, but with a face like that, countless vampire women are drooling over him every day."

The Second Elder thought for a moment and said, "I heard that this face was given to me by the young lady. And these hands were left for her to draw houses for her..."

Dean: "Tsk, what a tragic fate! New master, old master, puppet master, the young lady's life... we can only look up to her in the dust!"

In the corner, Ning Yunzhan remained sitting quietly, silent and unmoved, his paintbrush gently sketching the enchanting villa of his subconscious...

Li Yubai's marriage became a trending topic, causing quite a stir at the Yan family villa.

Yan Yu was the first to be scolded by her mother, who pinched her ear and berated her: "I told you to be more proactive! I told you to be more persistent! You wouldn't listen, and now look what's happened, Xiao Shu has been snatched away by Li Yubai, and you're going to make me furious!"

Yan Yu said in a low voice, "Mom, why don't you blame me for being born two years too late? Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be eligible to get a marriage certificate."

Mother Yan clutched her chest: "I don't care, you better find me a wife sooner rather than later—someone like Xiao Shu, someone who can keep you in check."

Yan Yu sighed softly, "Mom, would you mind if I volunteered to be my sister's lover for a few years?"

The next moment, he was kicked out of the house by the mother of the swallow.

FY conglomerate headquarters.

Even the elderly Mr. Feng, who was nearing the end of his life, saw the news about Li Yubai.

He rose unsteadily and instructed the steward, "Prepare the carriage; it's time to go pay respects at Ali's grave. Also, tell him that his wife has run off with someone else."

The old butler wiped away his tears: "Yes, sir."

Three years later.

Grandpa Feng sat in a wheelchair in the courtyard. The doctor had just told him, in a subtle way, that he might not make it through the year.

"Those ambitious people in the family are already itching to make a move, and even other conglomerates are sharpening their knives, ready to take a piece of the FY conglomerate after I'm gone..." Old Master Feng sighed, telling his butler, "You've been with me for a long time, so I've left you some private property. After I'm gone, you can leave FY and live a leisurely life on your own."

The old butler's voice trembled: "If only the young master were still alive. He may be frail, but his ruthlessness these past few years has been far more intimidating than even yours, sir..."

Grandpa Feng's eyes were filled with deep longing and sorrow: "The wind is picking up. Push me inside. Go and prepare some of Ali's favorite foods. We'll go visit his grave later."

The old butler secretly wiped away a tear and pushed Old Master Feng into the house.

Two minutes later. The butler's voice trembled: "S-Master!!!"

"What are you yelling about? I'm not dead yet." Old Master Feng slowly raised his cloudy eyes, only to see the butler staring in shock at the direction of the sofa. He paused for a moment, then followed the butler's gaze.

A man was sitting on the previously empty sofa.

He was an extremely young man, full of youthful energy, with a pair of peach blossom eyes that held a fiery arrogance, and exquisite features that exuded a sense of disdain and conceit. He was lazy and nonchalant, yet his bones revealed a hint of ruthless decisiveness.

In his arms, he held a tiny baby. The baby's eyes were wide open, and the man was skillfully feeding him with a bottle.

Grandpa Feng burst into tears in an instant, his whole body trembling: "Butler, I actually saw my Ali..."

The old butler also sobbed uncontrollably, "Master, it's the young master! It's our young master!"

Feng Li glanced at the two of them and smiled casually: "I heard that in the years I was away, a lot of monsters and demons have emerged in FY? Do you need me to come back and keep order?" Old Master Feng couldn't speak, he just kept crying.

Feng Li sighed softly, a little annoyed: "Stop crying, how will you see your great-grandson if you cry your eyes out?"

Grandpa Feng wiped his tears vigorously with his sleeve, then remained dazed as if in a dream: "Great-grandson?"

"I told you back then I'd give you a great-grandson in a few years." Feng Li chuckled nonchalantly, pointing to the baby in his arms, his tone slightly smug. "Hey, great-grandson, my own. Want to hold him?"

……

The FY conglomerate is on the verge of collapse due to the critical illness of its patriarch, Mr. Feng. Everyone is eagerly awaiting its tragic aftermath.

The next day, however, the radiant old man Feng once again sat on the board of directors' seat. Amidst the astonishment and uncertainty of countless shareholders, he solemnly declared, "I hereby announce that the FY conglomerate will be formally handed over to my successor starting today."

"Old man, do you still have any heirs?"

Old Master Feng remained silent, his gaze fixed on the doorway. There, an elegant and alluring figure slowly emerged. The stunning beauty that had once instilled fear in countless shareholders now carried a hint of mockery, her voice languid:

"I've heard a lot of people's been up to no good lately. How about we have a chat?"

The huge conference room was eerily silent.

In no time, the news of the FY chaebol heir's resurrection spread like wildfire across the globe.

How they survived wasn't mentioned on FY's official website, but strange things happen in large families all the time; faking death is practically standard practice. Everyone is only concerned with one thing: with a younger, more ruthless heir, the FY conglomerate won't collapse anytime soon. Moreover, the great scourge has returned, and who knows how many more unfortunate families will suffer next.

Those global bigwigs who were waiting to divide up FY immediately withdrew their ambitions.

Forget it, I can’t afford it.

Let's hide for now.

……

A stunning villa.

The TV screen was covered with major news about the return of FY's heir.

Rong Jingchen was learning to cook by watching an instructional video, while Yan Yu was arranging the dishes.

Glancing at Jiang Shu who was preparing drinks, Yan Yu asked in a teasy tone, "Sister, can you urge him to come back soon? He's been causing trouble outside for days. What kind of life has the family been living these past few days? It's either plain noodles or burnt food. When it comes to being virtuous and having good cooking skills, this family still has to rely on Li Yubai."

Jiang Shu hummed in agreement, took a picture of the table full of unpalatable food, and tossed it into the 'Pet Camp' group chat:

Boss: [Li Yubai, go home and cook!]

The smug cat: [...You only miss his food, not my soup? Tsk, what a scumbag.]

A few minutes later again.

The Queen's loyal dog: [This family would truly fall apart without me.]
