From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

Ning Shuang was also Fengming's risk control director. Considering Shen Luoyan and Fengming's reputation, Lu Yunzhou only detained her briefly and did not hand her over to Feng Qianyi for processing on the spot.

Ning Shuang used the reserved fire escape route to escape and returned to Fengming to continue working.

These past few days, she's still going in and out of the company, handling contracts, attending meetings, just like usual.

Lu Yunzhou closed the map, his face darkening.

Ning Shuang was hiding right under Feng Ming's nose.

Ye Zhiwei turned her head to the side: "Are we letting her go this time?"

After asking the question, she stared at Lu Yunzhou, waiting for his answer.

Lu Yunzhou gripped the steering wheel, his hands tense.

"Once the person is caught, take the evidence and the person with you."

After hearing this, Ye Zhiwei didn't ask any more questions.

As the car drove out of the riverside building, Lu Yunzhou sat in the back seat, flipping through the access control records compiled by Ye Zhiwei.

The screen was filled with densely packed information about the time, address, and vehicle number.

Ning Shuang's routes of movement over the past two weeks have all been circled.

"Donggang No. 7 gate is just a smokescreen."

Lu Yunzhou handed his phone to Ye Zhiwei and tapped on one of the records: "Every time she leaves the company, she goes there first, then changes cars to go to the Linjiang service villa."

Ye Zhiwei glanced at it and lowered her brows.

That villa is registered under the name of Fengming Group and is usually used to receive out-of-town clients.

Ning Shuang has the authority of a risk control director and does not need to report to the authorities when entering or leaving the area.

She has been hiding right under the nose of the Fengming Group for some time now.

Lu Yunzhou leaned back in his seat, a dull ache coming from his old injury in his right shoulder.

During their encounter in the Fengming Group office, he managed to subdue Ning Shuang at close range and even ascertain the extent of her left shoulder injury.

If Ning Shuang hands the person over to Feng Qianyi on the spot, it will be difficult for her to escape.

But at that time, we lacked complete evidence.

There is no chain of evidence regarding Ning Shuang's identity, the organization behind her, or what she did within Fengming.

Shen Luoyan was still in his office. Fengming Group was in the critical stage of project review, and he couldn't label a risk control director as a killer in front of everyone.

Lu Yunzhou had no choice but to make up a reason to suppress the conflict.

Before the security guards arrived, Ning Shuang slipped into the pre-prepared maintenance passage.

After he finished treating Shen Luoyan's injuries, he had already left the Fengming Building.

From that day on, she continued to stay at the company.

Thinking of this, Lu Yunzhou's jaw tightened slightly.

"I let her go last time because I was a step too slow in my judgment."

After he finished speaking, he put away his phone.

Ye Zhiwei was inspecting the canvas bag when she heard this and paused: "This time, I won't give her another chance."

She spoke frankly, and her hands never stopped moving.

The bag contained an earpiece, a strap, a short stick, an anesthesia device, and several sealed vials of medication.

Bai Wantang sat on the other side, flipping through the book "Guiyuan Yinxi Pian".

She had just established her breathing pathways, and the medicinal effects in her body had not yet been fully activated, so her shoulders and back would occasionally twitch.

Lu Yunzhou glanced at her: "Tonight, your job is just to block the roads. Don't push yourself."

Bai Wantang closed the thin book and gripped its spine tightly: "I can move."

Her voice was not loud, her eyes were fixed on Ning Shuang's photo, and her hand pressed down on the short blade at her waist.

Ye Zhiwei glanced at her in the rearview mirror and didn't try to persuade her anymore.

The car bypassed the main road of Donggang and drove into an old residential area.

The three of them transferred to a van that was already parked at the entrance of the alley, avoided the paparazzi along the street, and entered the villa area from the north side of the river.

The exterior walls of the riverside service villa are not high, but the guard booth is equipped with three sets of cameras.

There are also patrol lights near the main entrance, which rotate every six minutes.

Ye Zhiwei had checked the route in advance and parked the car between two vacant buildings.

After the three got out of the car, she took out a modified stab-proof vest.

This vest came from a construction site in South Bay. It was originally heavy and would have restricted movement if worn.

Ye Zhiwei removed the outer protective plate and reinforced the shoulder and rib areas, leaving only the key positions that could block the short blade.

She handed the vest to Lu Yunzhou: "Put this on, and you'll lose half the weight."

Lu Yunzhou put the coat on and stretched his arms a few times.

The shoulders are not obstructed, and the sides of the ribs can rotate freely.

Ye Zhiwei then took out two palm-sized metal boxes and fixed them to the garage vent and the back of the garden flower rack, respectively.

"Targeted anesthesia nebulizer."

She lowered her voice, "Once activated, it can only cover the nearby area, and for a short time. The antidote is with me; inhale it and immediately move away."

Lu Yunzhou inspected the wiring and confirmed that the switch was hidden in the shadow of the villa's exterior wall.

Bai Wantang is in charge of the south-side ditch.

The ditch was only wide enough for one person to bend over and pass through, and the exit faced the backyard wall.

If Ning Shuang were to leave from behind, Bai Wantang could intercept her first.

Ye Zhiwei guarded the living room and balcony, while Lu Yunzhou sealed off the main door.

The three walked along the base of the wall, carefully avoiding the loose stones under their feet.

When the lights outside the villa swept across, they were already hidden behind the shadows of the trees.

Lu Yunzhou raised his hand, and the three of them stopped at the same time.

A patrolman pushed his cart past in the distance, his keys clinking softly against his waist.

Once the footsteps had faded into the distance, Ye Zhiwei unlocked the spare lock on the side door.

The door was only slightly ajar.

Lu Yunzhou went in first, Bai Wantang followed closely behind, and Ye Zhiwei stayed behind to restore the door to its original state.

The lights were off inside.

The living room was furnished with a sofa and a long table for receiving guests, the tabletops covered with a thin layer of dust.

The balcony door was closed tightly, the curtains hung to the ground, and there was a gap at the back that allowed a person to pass sideways.

Lu Yunzhou scanned the door locks, window frames, and vents to confirm that there were no new alarm devices present.

He cut off the main light circuit in the living room and placed a small sensor under the entryway cabinet.

Ye Zhiwei squatted by the balcony door, holding a ribbon in her hand.

Bai Wantang lay prone at the outlet of the ditch in the backyard, with only the sound of her own breathing in her earpiece.

She adjusted her breathing according to the "Returning to the Origin and Guiding Breath" manual, and the soreness in her shoulders and neck gradually subsided.

Time passed little by little.

Lu Yunzhou stood to the side of the entrance hall, his gaze fixed on the door lock.

Last time in the office, Ning Shuang was cornered by him, her right hand was restrained and her left shoulder was injured, but she still managed to escape by using the changing tables, chairs and people around her.

The woman left herself an escape route with every step she took.

This time, he blocked all three routes.

The atomizer near the garage vent is on and ready to go, and the patio fixtures are also switched on.

As soon as Ning Shuang steps into the covered area, Ye Zhiwei can activate it immediately.

Half an hour later, the soft sound of a key being inserted into the lock came from outside the door.

Lu Yunzhou raised his hand, signaling the two to shut up.

The latch retracted, and the door was pushed open a crack.

Ning Shuang stepped into the entryway.

She was wearing a white shirt and trousers from the Fengming Group, with a dark trench coat over them, and her hair was tied back.

The soles of my shoes landed very lightly, and my briefcase stayed close to my leg without hitting the wall.

She took only one step before stopping.

There were no lights in the room, but the furniture had been slightly rearranged since she left.

There was an extra sensor under the entryway cabinet, and the lock on the balcony door had also been tampered with.

Ning Shuang lowered her eyes, removed her right hand from her briefcase, and slowly moved it to her waist.

Lu Yunzhou watched her movements and lowered his body.

Ning Shuang raised her head, her gaze sweeping across the living room, balcony, and backyard.

She stood at the doorway, her voice cold and aloof.

"Have you hidden enough?"

Ye Zhiwei tightened the strap, Bai Wantang pressed down on the short blade, and Lu Yunzhou also raised his hand.
