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

Chapter 56 Men's Competitive Spirit
When Zhou Houde left, his steps were a little unsteady.

When the man spoke his last words, his expression was aggrieved, and his eyes were filled with a heavy mist. He blurted out, almost as if possessed:
"It's not impossible."

He regretted it as soon as he said it! He quickly tried to smooth things over, "How about this, I'll give you a reference answer. In the future, when I tutor you, I'll look at the answer first and then trace the question back to make sure that Jiang's answers won't be as outrageous as this one?"

Feng Li's expression softened: "Mm."

Then, the languid and handsome man stood up from the stool. "It's dark and the road is slippery. I'll walk you to the alley entrance."

Zhou Houde was a little embarrassed: "Besides talking about the test paper, I also plan to do a home visit."

“We can talk as we walk.” Feng Li seemed to have only a superficial understanding of Chinese etiquette, and had already opened the courtyard gate to see the guest off. “As for my Jiang Shu, just ask me.”

"I don't know if there's anything else between you two besides being his tutor?" Zhou Houde's implication was quite obvious. "The college entrance exam is coming up soon, and Jiang can't be dating at such a crucial time!"

It wasn't that he didn't trust Jiang Shu. It was just that the man's face was too alluring; no normal girl could resist...

Behind her, Jiang Shu interjected, "He calls my mom 'grandma'."

Feng Li staggered, then suddenly turned around. His peach blossom eyes were deep and shimmering, concealing an unreadable sense of frustration!

Zhou Houde breathed a long sigh of relief: "So they're aunt and nephew, that's good! That's good!"

Feng Li's tone softened slightly, and he gestured for her to leave: "Is my Shubao well-behaved at school?"

"Jiang Shu is a very diligent student who has also inspired many classmates to study together. She is also very good at managing discipline..."

"My daughter is so outstanding, does anyone at school pursue her?"

"No, no! I always tell the kids that only by entering better university circles can they meet more outstanding people..."

"Wrong, universities are full of mediocre people too. If you want to find someone, look for someone like me..."

"Someone like you is one in a million. I didn't expect you to be of such a low generation, yet you're helping your aunt with her homework. That's really thoughtful of you."

"Teacher, I heard that other students in the senior year have someone bring them food, but my Shubao only eats takeout?"

"Jiang Shu ate Hongyunlou takeout, which is different from the usual one—I haven't asked yet how Jiang Shu's family can afford Hongyunlou, which costs four figures per unit. I don't mean to question it, I'm just curious."

“You’re right, how can four-figure junk food be worthy of my Shubao? Teacher, give me a pass, starting tomorrow I’ll personally deliver her meals…”

"..."

Jiang Shu stood in the courtyard as the two men walked further and further away, until their conversation could no longer be heard.

Twenty minutes later, Feng Li returned under the cover of night after seeing off his guests.

Jiang Shu had already opened the Hongyunlou takeout order and asked him, "Is this garbage takeout worthy of your precious stomach?"

Feng Li glanced at the takeout with disdain, then a moment later, she half-embraced Jiang Shu from behind and asked through gritted teeth, "Is being an aunt fun?"

Jiang Shu, thinking of this sickly beauty who seemed like he could collapse at the slightest touch, resisted the urge to knock him over: "In Xinghua Village, isn't my mother your grandmother? Besides, these days, people who keep pets treat them like children..."

“If you say that again,” Feng Li sneered, “I’m going to raise the price of the medicinal herbs. I’ll say it once, and the price will increase by ten percent.”

Jiang Shu: "..."

Who can blame them for monopolizing the global medicinal herb business?
She wisely dropped the subject, but pointed to the dishes in front of her: "Really not going to eat?" "No." Feng Li's tone was languid. "You're not allowed to eat either—I have a surprise for you."

Jiang Shu asked curiously, "What surprise?"

"In this world, besides medicine and money, what else could possibly deserve the word 'surprise' for you?" Feng Li sighed softly, a tone that seemed both helpless and indulgent, as he took out his new phone and opened his WeChat Wallet.

"Fifty-five thousand, it's all yours, take it and spend it."

Jiang Shu looked at his brand-new phone, then at his obviously expensive coat, and couldn't help but ask:

"What exactly did you do after you left this morning? Where did the money, the phone, and the clothes come from? — Also, why do you look so tired? You've been inside the cat skin for two days, nourished by spiritual energy. Your body shouldn't be this weak."

“It’s not just weak…” Feng Li kicked the door shut and reached for his coat.

Jiang Shu took a step back: "What are you doing?"

"What do you think I'm going to do?" Feng Li took off his coat, revealing the same clothes he had worn that morning, but they were now just a pile of tattered rags draped over his body. Large tears exposed several obvious scratches on his skin, some even bleeding...

Jiang Shu felt incredibly conflicted, but she couldn't contain her curiosity any longer: "Who caught him?"

Feng Li sighed softly, "I wanted to go out for a simple breakfast this morning..."

I really only planned to have breakfast and then come back.

The pampered and unruly young master of FY, who had been used to clearing out any place he went, was really not used to the bustling noise of a small city.

He recently sold his watch at a pawn shop for a pittance, used the money to buy the most expensive mobile phone in the store, and used the rest of the money to book a quiet Western restaurant in Jiangcheng, planning to have a nice breakfast.

However, he overlooked the fact that even if all the irrelevant people were cleared out, the waiters could still turn into wolves when they acted impulsively.

The man with outstanding charisma attracted everyone's attention the moment he entered the restaurant, and even after the restaurant was cleared out, the guests who had left were reluctant to leave.

The restaurant staff, upon seeing this sucker, realized that he not only had a top-notch physique and demeanor, but also spent 180,000 yuan to book the entire restaurant for a breakfast that cost 20 yuan per person. This extravagance, like his demeanor, was incredibly tempting.

That alluring charm, once Feng Li removed his mask, spread like wildfire, instantly burning away the rationality of the waiters and the customers still waiting outside!
"All the waiters screamed and rushed towards me. I ran out, but more and more people followed me. They chased me for three whole blocks—I've never trained as hard in my entire life as I have in just one day..." Feng Li was a little overwhelmed. In front of Jiang Shu, he looked like a child who had suffered a great injustice, his eyes red with anger.

Jiang Shu looked at the pitiful Feng Xiao, more concerned about what happened afterward than about the seemingly minor injuries: "So you were captured and abused by a group of people like this? Tell me the details..."

Feng Li glanced at her, then suddenly laughed in exasperation: "So, my innocence isn't as important as gossip?"

"How could that be!" Jiang Shu said seriously. "If I knew which shameless women were behind this, I'd help you get revenge!"

Feng Li was momentarily dazed, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

"Keep going," Jiang Shu urged.

Feng Li regained his composure: "Later, I went to the street where the milk tea shop was last time and simply went in and ordered a milk tea."

Jiang Shu: ? ? ?
Feng Li would never admit that he had just had a brain fart and suddenly wanted to compete with the guy surnamed Li.

But he reflexively went into the store, then reflexively pulled out his WeChat payment QR code, and spoke to the swarm of bold women who approached him:
"Add me as a friend, 100 yuan per person. No photos together, no physical contact. 10-minute time limit."
