She flipped through the books with great interest and was actually absorbed in them. She hadn't read these books for a long time and almost forgot her sensitive and poetic heart.

As she was watching, a towel came over her head. Xia Zhuomian wiped her hair and couldn't help but nag her, "Your hair is still so wet. It's easy to get a headache if you sleep like this."

She has always been like this when she washes her hair. When her hair was long, she would use a hair dryer to blow it twice to fool herself. Now she starts to use water when washing her hair. There is nothing she can do about it. She is lazy and doesn't care.

"Thank you, Sui Sui." She must be happy to have someone help her wipe it, and said with a smile. After a while, she felt someone touching the scar on her collarbone, but it was just a brief touch. He didn't ask Tong Yu Sui and didn't explain.

Later, when going to bed, Xia Zhuomian turned her back to Tong Yusui. The bedroom was quiet. Tong Yusui looked at the ceiling. She was wondering whether she should just fool around like she did when she left, but in the end she couldn't bear it.

She had been working non-stop since she came out, and now she was so sleepy that she fell asleep with her eyes open.

Shadow Dormitory.

A group of girls came back from outside. One of them was covering her arm with blood flowing down her hand. She sat aside and bandaged herself. The dormitory was eerily quiet.

They never talk and always do their own things when they come back, but today the atmosphere is terribly depressed. The girl who was bandaging the wound heard the girl on her right speak. Her voice is very strange, her vocal cords seem to be burned by fire, and the words she said are like the sound of an old violin, sharp and noisy.

The girl's name is Linghua. Her vocal cords were injured, so she developed a frugal nature with words, but she spoke a lot today.

"The Jade Demon is gone. I've known for a long time that she is not the same kind of person as us. As expected, she left. And who would be willing to stay here if possible? What's so good about this place..." She seemed to be speaking in a hoarse voice, and every word she said sounded hoarse and mocking as if it were pricked by a needle. Others couldn't help but frown and look grim when they heard it, as if her vocal cords would rupture and bleed in the next second.

But no one said anything, no one objected, and even their movements subconsciously stopped, letting the sound echo through the empty room. The girl bandaging the wound slowed down her movements, and Linghua continued, "I've been here since I was conscious, training, completing missions, killing people day after day to survive, every day in this dark place, unknown to anyone. I don't know how much longer I can hold on. This kind of life is boring, really boring, hahahaha."

This was the first time she'd experienced such a huge emotional turmoil. Even when she'd been on the brink of death multiple times before, she hadn't lost control like this. But no one blamed her because everyone else felt the same way...

They thought no one could escape, but one day, they saw someone escape, but they themselves knew clearly that they could not escape. That kind of despair was more painful than killing themselves...

A high-end hotel in Wanjiang City.

The atmosphere in the box was a bit awkward. Chen Ziyi and Lu Xiangyi rarely liked each other. They sat opposite Tong Yusui, and Ji Ze was sandwiched between them. He kept winking at Tong Yusui, hoping that she would save him from the fire and water.

The two people may have noticed Ji Ze's eye contact, but they didn't care. It was obvious that Ji Ze was Tong Yusui's man, so why would they care about his betrayal? It was just that they all thought that Tong Yusui would not come back alive after entering the Shadow, and even if he came back, he would not be well, and even if he came back, he would not be safe. They always had plenty of time to make arrangements.

The only thing that surprised them was Tong Yusui's safe return.

"It's such a joy to have Xiao Sui back safely. Today is a welcome party for Xiao Sui. Xiao Sui, Sister Yuan toasts to you."

Chen Ziyi was the first to express her opinion. Tong Yusui smiled but said nothing. However, she knew that Chen Ziyi did not like being given her husband's surname, and even had a lot of fun in private, and did not take Yuan Guobiao seriously.

Therefore, once she used the word "Yuan", she was telling others that she was an elder and was using it to put others down.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Tong Yusui raised his glass and took a sip.

Lu Xiangyi, on the contrary, has restrained himself a lot. After all, no matter how powerful he is, he is just Guo Lin's subordinate, and there is still a gap between him and Guo Lin. Now that the real boss is back, he has become more low-key.

If we ignore the undercurrents behind the scenes, the group chatted quite happily. No one talked about work, and Tong Yusui didn't mention it either. Chen Ziyi and Lu Xiangyi stayed as a matter of course.

No one mentioned that they should leave now that the real owner had returned. Later, when they saw that Tong Yusui really didn't seem to mind, they finally felt relieved.

Then, Tong Yusui announced an explosive piece of information.

She wants to unify Wanjiang.

Let Wanjiang have only one boss.

Chen Ziyi and Lu Xiangyi finally understood her hidden purpose. They hated her for being so thoughtful but also felt excited. They both felt that this was an opportunity.

...Wanjiang was already a bit chaotic, and it became even more chaotic in the following year. Even the police in Wanjiang were busier than before.

Lu Xidan was not afraid at first. She might be able to deal with Tong Yusui alone, but with Chen Ziyi and Lu Xiangyi added to the mix, it was not certain.

During this year, Chen Ziyi also moved her power towards Wanjiang, even occupying a mountain and seizing some of Lu Xidan's industries. As long as they did not go too far, Tong Yusui turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.

The benefit of giving them sweet treats is that they will pay more attention to this matter.

In terms of background, Lu Xidan is not as good as Hai Ye and his gang, and in terms of ambition, he is even worse than them. Moreover, Tong Yusui and the others have enough ammunition, so it will be difficult to lose this battle.

Later, Tong Yusui's surroundings became more and more dangerous. Lu Xidan was already at the end of his strength, and his counterattack became even more fierce. Taking advantage of this incident, she went to Jiangcheng to ask Hai Ye for four people to protect herself. Yes, they were her former teammates, and moved out to live alone.

She was not worried about Xia Zhuomian, because they had recently followed up on a news report and he had already left Wanjiang. Moreover, that news was in cooperation with the official. If Lu Xidan was not crazy, he would not touch him.

The New Year had just passed, and while others were immersed in the joy of the New Year, only Lu Xidan was counting his property and manpower.

His face was gloomy. He didn't expect that his kindness would be met with a full-scale encirclement. He always thought that Mu Xingzhou was a ruthless and unscrupulous person, but he didn't expect that Tong Yusui was even more ruthless. The two of them used to call each other uncle and friend, and he even helped Tong Yusui, but she turned around and brought people to destroy them.

Black Wolf was also angry. He clenched his fist and punched the sofa, saying to Master Lu, "I'm going to kill that bitch."

"Stop." Luxidan stopped the man with a dark face. It was not because he thought it was a bad thing, but because the previous assassinations had failed. Hei Lang would just be asking for death if he went. There were not many such loyal and capable people around him, and Luxidan did not want him to die.

"It's useless." Lu Xidan said softly, with a hint of fatigue in his voice.

"Are we just going to wait for death?" Black Wolf was filled with grief and indignation.

"I shouldn't have sent them out of that dock." Lu Xidan was so angry that his intestines turned green. It was because of that dock that they obtained countless resources and weapons. He used to think that it was not bad to be able to have a sip of soup, but now he realized that it was not good at all. He was almost putting his head in front of others.
