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

Chapter 7 Pet Camp Group Chat

Jiang Shu nodded: "Half a year ago, I secretly left the village and traveled almost all over the world. I found seven women and nineteen men who met the criteria, but in the end, apart from the five of you, everyone else treated me like a lunatic."

Li Yubai chuckled: "Your plan is indeed utterly absurd."

"But it's very tempting, isn't it?" Jiang Shu asked rhetorically.

“It’s very tempting.” Li Yubai nodded firmly. “So, when do we sign the agreement?”

Jiang Shu took out an agreement from the drawer: "If you pay now, you can sign it now."

Li Yubai looked at the cover of the agreement.

The words "Sugar Daddy Agreement" were prominently displayed.

"The terms are roughly the same as what we discussed six months ago. I'll take care of you, and you'll give me 10,000 yuan a day—don't think that's a lot. I use the medicinal power of three herbs for every stitch I sew. If you look at the prices of medicinal herbs on the market now, you'll know that this is absolutely a fair price."

"Ah."

"In addition, to avoid disturbing each other's lives, the arrangement period is from midnight to 6 a.m. the next day—no late-night snacks or breakfast will be provided. Is there anything else you'd like to add?"

"As you wish." Li Yubai didn't even glance at the contents, flipped to the end, signed it quickly, and handed it back to Jiang Shu, his eyes sparkling. "Pleasure doing business with you, my patron."

Jiang Shu coughed lightly: "Hold out your hand."

Li Yubai obediently extended one hand.

Her hands, with their distinct knuckles, carried the slight chill of late winter. On her ring finger, a black ring fit perfectly, its quality clearly exceptional.

Jiang Shu was taken aback: "You're married?"

Li Yubai remained silent for several seconds before softly saying, "This is the patriarch's order of the Li family."

"Let's make this clear first: if you two start dating or even get married, this contract will automatically become invalid—I don't spend the night in the same room with men who are already in relationships."

"it is good."

Jiang Shu casually slipped a bracelet into his hand: "A gift for meeting you. Keep it close to your body—it could save your life in a critical moment."

It was an ordinary bracelet with nine low-quality wood beads scattered sparsely on it, but Li Yubai took off his multi-million dollar watch from his wrist and then solemnly put the bracelet on.

Jiang Shu looked on with satisfaction: "I like people as sensible as you."

you?

Li Yubai casually probed, "What kind of people are those...?"

"About the same as you." Jiang Shu was in a good mood when she saw the 10,000 yuan transfer notification from Li Yubai on her phone. She answered all her questions. "I'll create a group later so that you brothers can all get to know each other."

"……it is good."

"The contract is now finalized. You may leave. I will notify you once the items are sewn up."

Li Yubai slowly got up, took a few steps toward the door, and paused slightly as he stepped across the threshold.

Behind him, Jiang Shu had already crossed her legs and sat back on the bed, threading a needle and continuing to mend the cat skin, no longer paying him any attention.

A butterfly, its wings broken and dying, had somehow landed on the half-open window.

Jiang Shu tilted her head and glanced at me: "You're lucky to have run into me, so I'll let you stay for a bit."

Having said that, she picked up the dying butterfly and stuffed it directly into the cat skin. Then, as if nothing had happened, she continued threading the needle. After three stitches, she lifted the cat skin—

The butterfly radiated a dazzling halo, its broken wings now perfectly healed, and it exuded a rich vitality. It flew out gracefully, and with a touch of intoxication, it gently sniffed Jiang Shu's needle tip.

Jiang Shu chuckled and poked its wing: "Little guy, don't be greedy."

The butterfly finally flew away reluctantly, circling the room twice before gently landing on Li Yubai's fingertip.

Li Yubai looked at the butterfly bathed in a halo of light and was slightly moved.

Jiang Shu laughed: "No wonder you're the most beautiful woman in the capital! Your charm is so irresistible, even butterflies would fall for you..."

Li Yubai chuckled softly, his gaze falling on Jiang Shu's face. Under the large-framed mirror, her face seemed particularly small, her thin, small lips slightly curved, exuding a lazy yet arrogant air, causing a tingling sensation to rise in Li Yubai's heart.

He coughed twice: "I have five very simple solutions to your math problem. Would you like to hear them?"

Jiang Shu raised her head.

……

Xinghua Lane.

The alleyway was chillingly cold.

The assistant and bodyguards waited from late at night until dawn before they saw Li Yubai return in the light of day.

Beside him was a tall girl wearing framed glasses and a school uniform from No. 1 Middle School.

The sharp-eyed assistant Yang noticed that his boss deliberately slowed his pace, always keeping a half-step behind the girl, neither appearing domineering nor distant.

The BOSS's eyes seemed to be glued to the girl, not sparing even a glance for the group of rough men who had been guarding her all night.

"Are you sure you don't need me to take you to school?" Her voice was so gentle it could melt your heart.

“It’s only a few hundred meters, I can walk by myself—are you coming again tonight?” “I’m available whenever you call.”

"Will this interfere with your work?"

"I haven't had any work lately, and I'm really bored."

Ignoring the people around them, the two walked past luxury cars and escorted Jiang Shu to the alley entrance. They watched her cross the zebra crossing until she disappeared into the crowd of students on the other side before slowly turning their attention away.

Behind him, Assistant Yang cautiously probed, "Although the area has been cleared, there are still too many people during the day. If those irrelevant people are attracted by you, Boss, we won't have enough manpower."

Li Yubai's voice was cold and clear: "Get in the car, back to the hotel."

Assistant Yang breathed a sigh of relief and opened the car door for him: "There are several urgent projects worth over a billion yuan in the capital that are waiting for your review. We also need to go to F country for negotiations next week. H country has also been acting strangely lately, with unknown individuals targeting our business from all sides. Boss, would you like to arrange a private jet for us in an hour?"

Li Yubai sat back in the car, his expression indifferent: "Leave it all to those CEOs to handle."

"……Yes."

The car became quiet.

The car window closed, and the assistant opened the interior partition. Li Yubai sat alone in the back seat. In the semi-enclosed space, he looked down at the beads on his wrist again and again, and then his gaze fell on the black ring on his ring finger.

Jiang Shu's question, "You're married?" popped into my mind.

At this moment, in a secluded place, he closed his eyes slightly, the corners of his eyes reddening slightly, giving the impression of a beautiful woman whose heart had been broken.

However, this sense of brokenness did not last long.

"Ding--"

A WeChat notification sounded, and he looked down. On the only WeChat screen pinned to the top, he saw Jiang Shu's group invitation—

Your generous sponsor invites you to join the group chat: [Pet Camp]

Li Yu stared at the words "Pet Camp" for several seconds before clicking on it with a complicated expression.

The "sugar daddy" invited "Sweet Cat" to join the group chat.
The "big spender" invited the "Mahjong Master" to join the group chat.
The "big spender" invited "Bei Ming You Yu" to join the group chat.
The 'big spender' invited 'Paradise' to join the group chat.
The 'big spender' has spoken: [Welcome the five of you to this group. In the future, we will work together towards the same goal.]

The entire group fell into an eerie silence for a good ten seconds.

Then it exploded again—

The clingy cat: [So, I'm not your only one, huh?]

Mahjong Master: [You have other dogs? And more than one!]

Beiming Youyu: [Ha! Women!]

Bliss: [Tsk! My patron, I thought my face was enough to make you give up an entire ocean...]

Li Yubai watched quietly, seemingly shocked that he wasn't the only group member. So, he wasn't the only one who had been misled...

His mood inexplicably improved a bit. He changed his group name card to "The Queen's Loyal Dog" and tentatively threw out a message:

The Queen's Loyal Dog: [Hello, brothers]

Mahjong God: [Who's the pervert upstairs who chose such a despicable name that's obviously trying to curry favor with their sugar daddy!]

Bliss: [Who's your brother? If you've got the guts, state your name and we'll fight one-on-one!]

The smug cat: [One-on-one duels are boring, let's have a group battle! Whoever loses quits.]

Mahjong Master: [I'm all set! Business battles, melee combat, talent shows—I'm good at it all! My sugar daddy only needs me!]

Beiming Youyu: [The world's largest conglomerate, FY Group, owns a mining island in Northern Europe. How about we have a contest to see who can blow it up?]

The smug cat: [...]

Country M.

FY Group Headquarters.

Office of the Chairman.

On a comfortable recliner, a man with an overly pale complexion gazed at his phone, slowly sipping his wine. The red wine touched his lips, making them appear even more alluring.

A slight curve to his sexy, thin lips: "Blow up my territory?"

Small Theater:

One night, Assistant Yang went to the rented house in Xinghua Lane in the middle of the night to find the BOSS to sign a contract.

The BOSS couldn't be found.

But then they discovered a haughty and aloof Border Collie scrolling through a tablet, looking at reports...

Assistant Yang looked shocked! He whispered to Jiang Shu, "You've secretly kept a dog that looks exactly like the BOSS. Does the boss know?"

Jiang Shu smiled but did not answer.
