From cannon fodder villain to superpowered queen

Jiang Ruiyuan frowned, carefully examining the blurry mark, which resembled some kind of family crest, yet seemed so unfamiliar.

"I remember now!" He suddenly looked up, a look of shock flashing in his eyes. "This is... the logo of the Universal Group!"

Huanyu Group?

Bi Yao was shocked. That was a behemoth that controlled the economic lifeline of the entire City A, with wealth comparable to that of a country, and influence in both the legal and illegal worlds.

Could it be that behind this mysterious force lies a vast business empire?

"This is outrageous!" Bi Yao couldn't help but complain. "How could such a small letter involve such a powerful force? This plot is defying the heavens!"

"It seems that the opponent we've encountered this time is more troublesome than we imagined." Jiang Ruiyuan said with a solemn expression. "The Huanyu Group's influence is deeply entrenched, and it won't be easy to find out the truth."

The two immediately sprang into action, using various channels to gather information about the Universal Group.

The deeper they investigated, the more alarmed they became.

The Universal Group has tentacles that extend to all walks of life and have even penetrated government departments.

They are like a giant spider, silently lurking in the darkness, weaving a massive conspiracy.

"This is a bottomless pit!" Bi Yao looked at the dense information on the computer screen, feeling overwhelmed. "When will this ever end?!"

As they were talking, Bi Yao's phone suddenly rang; it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello?" Bi Yao answered the phone, but before she could speak, she heard a sinister voice from the other end: "You want to investigate Huanyu Group? You've got some nerve!"

"Who are you?" Bi Yao asked warily.

"Want to know who I am? Then come to the abandoned warehouse in the west of the city. I'll be waiting for you there!" With that, the phone was disconnected.

"A trap?" Jiang Ruiyuan immediately realized this was a snare. "We can't go!"

"How can we not go?" A determined glint flashed in Bi Yao's eyes. "Since they dared to set a trap, it means they have something to fear. We can just play along and see what they're really up to!"

The two drove to an abandoned warehouse in the west of the city.

As soon as I got out of the car, I sensed that something was off about the atmosphere around me.

The warehouse doors were tightly shut, and the surroundings were completely silent, as if countless dangers were lurking beneath the surface.

"Be careful!" Jiang Ruiyuan grabbed Bi Yao's hand and shielded her behind him.

The two cautiously entered the warehouse, when suddenly the warehouse door slammed shut, plunging them into darkness.

Immediately afterwards, the lights in the warehouse came on, and a group of men in black emerged from all directions, surrounding them.

"Welcome to our trap!" a chilling voice echoed from the darkness. "You'd better stay here obediently!"

Bi Yao took out her phone, only to find that there was no signal at all.

"Damn it!" she muttered under her breath.

Jiang Ruiyuan gripped Bi Yao's hand tightly, his eyes resolute: "Don't be afraid, I'm here!" He looked around, searching for a chance to escape.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on a pile of miscellaneous items in the corner of the warehouse...

"etc……

Jiang Ruiyuan squinted. Although the clutter piled up in the corner of the warehouse seemed messy, a small window was faintly visible.

"Yao Yao, hold on tight to me!" he whispered, pulling Bi Yao towards the corner.

Upon seeing this, the men in black immediately surrounded them.

Without hesitation, Jiang Ruiyuan unleashed his supernatural power, a powerful energy wave that repelled the man in black. Taking advantage of the opening, he scooped up Bi Yao, leaped onto a pile of debris, smashed open a small window, and the two of them tumbled out in a disheveled state.

"Wow, that was so exciting!" Bi Yao, still shaken, dusted herself off. "Luckily you spotted us, or we would have been trapped!"

"Don't be too happy yet, they'll catch up soon." Jiang Ruiyuan said gravely, pulling Bi Yao as they ran wildly through the night.

The two ran for several blocks, shaking off their pursuers, and found a secluded corner to hide.

"Phew...I'm exhausted..." Bi Yao leaned against the wall, panting heavily, when suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her ankle. "Hiss..."

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ruiyuan asked anxiously, supporting her. "Did you twist your ankle?"

"Ugh..." Bi Yao was in so much pain that tears almost fell from her eyes.

Without saying a word, Jiang Ruiyuan picked her up in a princess carry.

"Hang in there, I'll take you to the hospital."

Bi Yao leaned against him, feeling the warmth emanating from him, and her heart involuntarily quickened its pace.

Their eyes met, and a hint of ambiguity filled the air.

"Actually... I don't need to go to the hospital, I just need to rest for a while..." Bi Yao turned her head away somewhat awkwardly, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Jiang Ruiyuan looked down at her in his arms, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes, "Don't be stubborn."

The two remained silent the entire way, yet the atmosphere was subtle and warm.

Suddenly, Jiang Ruiyuan stopped and fixed his gaze on an inconspicuous building not far away.

“Wait, look over there…” He pointed to a sign on the building that was strikingly similar to the logo of the Universal Group that they had seen in the letter, only more discreet and easily missed without careful observation.

"This is... their base?" Bi Yao also noticed the sign, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes. "It's like finding a needle in a haystack!"

"Let's go in and take a look." Jiang Ruiyuan put Bi Yao down and helped her slowly approach the building.

"Wait!" Bi Yao grabbed his sleeve. "It's too dangerous for us to go in like this..."

Jiang Ruiyuan took a mask as thin as a cicada's wing from his pocket and handed it to her. "Put this on."

Bi Yao took the mask, put it on, and immediately felt that her appearance had changed, turning her into a completely unfamiliar person.

“Let’s go.” Jiang Ruiyuan also put on a mask, took her hand, and silently slipped into the building…

"There seems to be someone inside..."

The two infiltrated the building and found it heavily guarded, with surveillance cameras and patrolling guards everywhere.

Fortunately, Jiang Ruiyuan's special ability could interfere with electronic devices, which allowed them to successfully evade surveillance and infiltrate the core area silently.

"Wow, this is like a scene from a spy movie!" Bi Yao muttered in a low voice.

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let us get caught." Jiang Ruiyuan looked around nervously, afraid of alerting the guards.

They arrived at a server room filled with all sorts of high-tech equipment.

Jiang Ruiyuan skillfully operated the computer and began stealing data.

"Bingo! Found it!" he exclaimed excitedly as an encrypted file appeared on the screen.

After decrypting the file, the two were shocked to discover that it contained records of transactions between a mysterious force and an international criminal organization called "Black Crow," involving various illegal activities such as arms smuggling and drug trafficking.

"Good heavens, this is no ordinary force!" Bi Yao exclaimed. "If this gets out, it will definitely cause a huge uproar!"

“Now is not the time,” Jiang Ruiyuan calmly analyzed. “We only have this document, not solid evidence, so it will be difficult to bring them down. Moreover, we need to find out why they are sabotaging the charity project.”

"So what do we do now?" Bi Yao asked.

"Let's leave here first, and then we'll make plans." Jiang Ruiyuan pulled Bi Yao back the way they came, successfully escaping the building.

After returning to a safe place, Jiang Ruiyuan decided not to hand the information over to the police, but to use it to negotiate with the mysterious force.

“We want them to know that we have their secrets and to stop them from sabotaging charitable projects.”

Bi Yao agreed: "That's a good idea, let's see if they dare to take the challenge."

Jiang Ruiyuan anonymously sent his negotiation requests to the mysterious force.

Next, we just have to wait for their reply.

Time ticked by, and the atmosphere grew so tense it was suffocating.

Suddenly, Jiang Ruiyuan's phone rang; it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello?" He answered the phone, but before he could speak, he heard a cold voice on the other end: "Want to negotiate with us? You... are still too green..."
