From cannon fodder villain to superpowered queen

Jiang Ruiyuan lowered his voice: "Tomorrow, we'll go to the black market."

The black market is a melting pot of all sorts of people, and information flows rapidly, making it the best place to gather information.

There, Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan followed the clues and uncovered a shocking fact: the mastermind behind the smearing of charity work was actually a huge transnational criminal organization!

This group has tentacles all over the world, its influence is deeply entrenched, and it has even infiltrated some government departments.

"My God! This is outrageous!" Bi Yao couldn't help but swear, feeling as if she were in a spy movie.

Jiang Ruiyuan's expression was grave, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes: "It seems we've really stirred up a hornet's nest this time." The two realized that they were no longer facing simple business competition, but a behemoth lurking in the shadows.

The air seemed to freeze, making it hard to breathe.

Despite the numerous dangers, Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan did not back down.

They decided to venture into the lion's den and expose the true nature of this criminal syndicate.

"What's there to be afraid of? Who's afraid of who!" Bi Yao clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with determination.

However, their actions had already been detected by the criminal group.

From the moment they stepped into the black market, they fell under the other party's surveillance.

Wherever they go, there is an invisible eye watching them from the shadows.

This feeling of being watched made Bi Yao feel uneasy and restless.

She tried to shake off the surveillance more than once, but the other party's surveillance was all-pervasive, like an airtight net that tightly surrounded her and Jiang Ruiyuan.

"We can't shake them off, they're like chewing gum sticking to us!" Bi Yao said in a frustrated whisper.

Looking at Jiang Ruiyuan's calm and composed profile, Bi Yao felt a surge of guilt.

If it weren't for her, Jiang Ruiyuan wouldn't have been drawn into this dangerous vortex.

She bit her lip, secretly resolving to protect him no matter what.

Suddenly, Jiang Ruiyuan stopped and fixed his gaze on an inconspicuous security camera on the street corner.

“Yao Yao,” he said in a low voice, “we’ve been exposed.” Bi Yao’s heart sank, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

Jiang Ruiyuan grabbed Bi Yao's hand and pulled her into a nearby alley.

“Now, we…” Before Jiang Ruiyuan could finish speaking, Bi Yao interrupted him: “I know, we’ll play along!” A cunning glint flashed in her eyes, and a confident smile curved her lips.

Jiang Ruiyuan laughed, "As expected of my wife, she's so smart!"

So the two began to perform "clumsy" counter-surveillance skills, deliberately leaving some "obvious" clues, such as leaving notes with fake addresses in coffee shops and dialing non-existent numbers in public phone booths.

These childish tricks, combined with their superb acting skills, actually fooled the criminal organization.

In the monitoring room, the crime syndicate leader watched Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan's "performance" on the screen and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "These two idiots really think they can escape my grasp! They think they can outmaneuver me with such petty tricks?" He picked up the phone triumphantly, preparing to order the arrest.

Little did they know, all of this was exactly what Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan had anticipated.

They hid in the shadows, watching the leader's arrogant demeanor in the monitoring room, a cold smile curling at the corner of their lips.

"The fish has taken the bait," Bi Yao said softly.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ruiyuan is undertaking an even more important task—hacking into the internal network of a criminal organization.

His fingers flew across the keyboard, lines of code flowing like a waterfall, and various data and information constantly popped up on the screen.

His expression was focused and serious, as if everything around him did not exist, and only the computer screen in front of him existed.

"Fantastic!" A few minutes later, Jiang Ruiyuan exclaimed, having successfully hacked into an internal network of the criminal group.

He quickly downloaded some of the criminal evidence and then quietly logged out of the system.

At the crime syndicate headquarters, alarms suddenly went off.

"Report! Our network has been compromised!" the technician shouted in a panic.

The leader's expression changed drastically, and he abruptly stood up from his chair.

"Who? Who did this?!" he roared.

Watching Jiang Ruiyuan complete all of this cleanly and efficiently, Bi Yao's eyes were filled with admiration.

"Honey, you're amazing!" she couldn't help but praise.

Jiang Ruiyuan smiled smugly and ruffled her hair.

"It's trivial."

Suddenly, Jiang Ruiyuan's phone vibrated.

He opened it and his expression instantly turned serious.

"Oh no, they've spotted us..." He grabbed Bi Yao's hand. "Let's go!" At the alley entrance, four men in black appeared like ghosts, blocking their way.

Their eyes were cold, and they exuded a murderous aura; they were clearly well-trained professional assassins.

The leader of the men in black curled into a cruel smile: "You have a path to heaven but choose not to take it, you have no way to hell but insist on barging in. Today is your death day!"

"Damn, they actually sent assassins! They think too highly of us!" Bi Yao complained, but her hands moved without hesitation.

She darted away, as nimble as a cat, and dodged the attack from the man in black.

Jiang Ruiyuan was equally formidable; his agile movements and deadly attacks entangled him in a fierce battle with the man in black.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding crowd scattered in terror, screams echoing throughout.

"Ahhh! Murder!" "Run!" In an instant, the alley was in chaos.

The battle was extremely fierce, with flashing swords and fists clashing.

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan stood back to back, working in perfect harmony, like two cheetahs, moving freely among the men in black.

However, two fists can't fight four hands. The men in black were numerous and powerful, and gradually, Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan began to lose ground.

Just then, a man in black seized the opportunity and launched a fatal attack on Bi Yao.

At the critical moment, Jiang Ruiyuan suddenly pushed Bi Yao away and used his own body to block the attack.

"Jiang Ruiyuan!" Bi Yao shouted in horror. She saw a deep wound on Jiang Ruiyuan's chest, and blood instantly stained his clothes.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury," Jiang Ruiyuan said, forcing a smile despite the pain.

Bi Yao quickly tore off her clothes and bandaged his wound.

Her eyes reddened, and her heart was filled with self-blame and worry.

"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me..."

"Silly girl, what are you saying!" Jiang Ruiyuan gently stroked her hair. "Protecting you is my responsibility." His eyes were firm, yet full of tenderness.

After the bandaging was completed, Bi Yao's eyes became determined.

"Let's go!" She grabbed Jiang Ruiyuan's hand and rushed out of the alley without looking back.

"Although we were injured, we have already obtained some evidence." Bi Yao looked at the USB drive in her hand, her eyes gleaming.

“Next…” she paused, “it’s time to unleash the ultimate move!” Jiang Ruiyuan looked at her, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and without saying a word, he simply squeezed her hand tightly.
