Great, now we are dead!

Ye Shou strode forward, facing the colorful ribbons and the sky full of bubbles, as if parting the chaotic waves, and caught the silver-haired girl who was falling backward.

Gui's waist was too slender, and his movements were so gentle, as if he were afraid of breaking this delicate figure. His other large hand supported her thin back at just the right moment, and he held the girl in his arms in a loose embrace.

Their faces were almost parallel, and they could even feel each other's breath. Gui was still in shock, surrounded by scattered bubbles and ribbons like clouds, snow, and rosy dawn, when a familiar face appeared before her eyes, and she was momentarily dazed...

Subconsciously, she pulled her little hands back, guarding her chest like a rabbit.

But her flushed face, the tips of her ears, and her eyes that seemed to be darting around all revealed how she was feeling.

Ye Shou and her pose, resembling ballet dancers, perfectly echoed a poster displayed on the big screen, as if the fairy couple from the game had come to life.

"Senior Ye Shou."

Gui blushed and stammered, "Second..."

"what?"

"This is the second time... it's like this."

Gui's voice couldn't help but carry a hint of sweetness, "You always appear when I'm in danger..."

"Maybe this is fate."

Ye Shou gazed deeply into her clear eyes: "Fortunately, I am in your destiny, which will prevent many accidents and add more luck."

"Well!"

Ye Shou meant to say, "This will make it easier to get gold coins," but Gui somehow understood it and her face turned even redder. She covered her face with her hands to prevent Ye Shou from seeing.

The boy frowned, unsure of what to do with the girl who seemed determined to cling to him.

As for number four?

Are you kidding me? Sugo, do you really think you're a beautiful girl?

You can fool yourself, but you can't fool me!

Ye Shou felt that Xu Xiang's behavior was completely inexplicable and he had no idea what he was trying to do.

Life experience taught him that it's best to eliminate such individuals with peculiar thought processes and incomprehensible behavior patterns altogether.

……

Wait a minute, this doesn't make sense!

A chill ran through the heart of the fourth son:

Generally speaking, people would instinctively save the person in front of them, right?

In that instant, there is only a very short reaction time, and you are not allowed to have any other thoughts, right?

How can you rush over there in one go and strike such a classic pose?!

Oh, that wretched little brat!

Number Four, whose spine was gradually going numb, bit his lip in frustration.

You lazy, opportunistic cat, don't be too happy yet, this is just the beginning!

I will definitely, absolutely will...

……

However, the resentful Number Four will probably never know that while she was planning this failed "extortion" operation, a pair of bright but cold eyes were watching her from the second floor.

These eyes were originally fixed on Ye Shou, but they also paid attention to those who tried to approach him. From her perspective, everything was exposed!

She witnessed firsthand how that idol walked with Shirogane Kei, how he pulled dirty tricks, how he deliberately faked a fall towards Ye Shou... and then was ignored and landed face-first on the ground.

This ridiculous behavior seemed laughable, and she shouldn't have taken it to heart, but it inadvertently brought Ye Shou and Bai Yin Gui closer... which touched a nerve with her.

Therefore, the owner of these eyes—Rurikawa Tsubaki—looked at Aiko No. 4 with a completely cold gaze, as if she were looking at frozen pork.

She was a seasoned maid, so she could easily see what these slutty bitches were up to... Ha, it's laughable!

You've been reading too many shoujo manga. Do you really think you can connect with top conglomerates and celebrities using such clichéd plots?

Foolish and naive, but judging from this, it seems they're not planning to give up yet?

Tsk!

Joker, what are you doing?!

If you dare to look at Lord Ye Shou again, I'll send you to Thailand and turn you into a man!

"Write it down, and have me investigate this group... what's their name again?"

Liuli, dressed in a simple yet elegant business suit, beckoned her personal assistant over.

The assistant peeked into the chaotic scene and saw Liuli pointing at the injured person surrounded by the crowd. After memorizing the face, she started searching for the person in the list.

"It's Backstreet Girls' number four: Aiko Sugo."

"The Backstreet Girls... Oh, so that's them."

Ruri frowned: "Sugo? Why does it seem like..."

"Is there a problem, Lord Rurikawa?"

The assistant glanced at the confidential information displayed on the tablet: "Their agency is Inugami Group... It seems to have a yakuza background and is a subordinate organization of the Daikukai."

Should I speak with their manager?

The assistant's tone was very calm; no one could be intimidated by the so-called underworld background here.

Let alone the Inugami Group, even the Daikokukai is not taken seriously by the Kuze Group. In fact, they all have to live at Kuze's beck and call!

"The Great Cool Society...Inugami Group? Sugo?"

Memories of trivial matters were strung together, and Ruri's eyes gradually became confused, then she suddenly realized, and when she looked at No. 4 Aiko again, her face was ashen, and her five fingers were slightly white as she gripped the railing.

"How could this be...? Unforgivable!"

"Lord Liuli?"

The assistant was taken aback; she had never seen Liuli so out of control.

"Unforgivable!"

Even if we assume that a philandering cat does come along, it should at least be a female, right?

What's with the castration?!

Is this an insult to Lord Ye Shou?!

Are you still insulting me?

Does this guy mean he's more attractive to women than I am?

ha? !

—Ruri now looks at a corpse with the same eyes she would give.

"This guy deliberately contacted Lord Ye Shou, he must have another purpose. Whatever he wants to do, there's no need to keep him alive... Have the Inugami Group handle it, or let the Da Ku Society support another branch!"

……

【Destiny Coin 1】

Ye Shou returned home at night and heard a notification sound before he could do anything. Upon checking, he discovered that "Sugawa Nobuyuki's" gold coins had been destroyed... but he was completely baffled.

He hadn't even had time to deal with Xuxiang yet, so how did the gold coins start appearing automatically?

It seems that something has quietly happened in a corner he's unaware of.

dong dong!

"Lord Ye Shou, the research institute sent over the prototype. It arrived during the day and we're waiting for your evaluation."

"I understand. Come in."

Ye Shou composed himself, invited Liuli in, and began to take off his clothes.

Wearing a specially made backless maid outfit, Ruri walked in gently. She wasn't surprised to see Ye Shou's bare upper body. Instead, she took out a roughly made powersuit from the plastic bag. It had no paint or hidden lines and looked messy.

She skillfully put away Ye Shou's shirt and then helped him put on the black experimental garment.

He gently stroked the muscles of Ye Shou's back with his fingertips, then moved forward from the waist, matching the buckles one by one from bottom to top.

By the time they got to the back, the maid was leaning against Ye Shou's back, her soft breasts being pressed against his body, her arms wrapped around his muscular frame, and her movements slowly slowing down...

The maid pressed her head against Ye Shou's back, her lips trembling slightly.

"...Liuli?"

Ye Shou sensed something was wrong, but his first reaction was, "Are you crying?"

"Lord Ye Shou..."

"!"

Ye Shou suddenly turned around, grabbed the girl's sculpted shoulders, and saw her reddened eyes, which inexplicably aroused his anger.

The maid, who never broke down no matter how much overtime she worked, is now acting so fragile...

"What's going on? What happened?"

"Lord Ye Shou, I'm fine, it's just... please keep a close eye on me."

Just this moment is enough; please only have eyes for me!

Liuli raised her head, her fair face glowing like jade in the moonlight, her misty eyes looking pitiful.

"In your eyes, do I... as a woman, have absolutely no charm?"

Chapter 97: The Defeat at Liulichuan (CG)!

"There's only one truth—you're the culprit!"

"have a finger in the pie!"

In the cramped storage room, looking at the evidence collected on the floor, the well-dressed young man cornered the criminal.

The villain who attempted to commit patricide appeared to be a young, quiet, and even somewhat weak girl. Her ear-length black hair lacked luster, and her fair skin was not moisturized. She should have been beautiful and charming, but instead looked like she was recovering from a serious illness and lacked vitality.

Fourteen or fifteen is the age when one is most sentimental, but there is no anxiety about the future in her eyes. Her deep and calm gaze only shows the relief of having made a certain decision... Now, her emotions are stirred up by anger.

Her attire was unremarkable, leaving no impression other than that of a "student." Her outstanding appearance was somewhat diminished by the cover of her non-prescription glasses. She often kept her head down, appearing rather introverted, and even her voice was so soft that it seemed as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind.

This could be a form of camouflage, like the protective coloration of small animals.

However, upon closer observation, one will find that although she appears weak, her figure is not thin, and there are no superfluous movements in her standing and walking, making her appear very coordinated—proof that she has consciously exercised.

In other words, this girl is not the type to passively accept her fate; she has been quietly accumulating strength, and even if she only has a healthy body, she can provide assistance at crucial moments.

...You must have been preparing for a long time, right?

Saving money to buy props, repeatedly simulating in private, improving physical fitness for actual combat, carefully recording the daily routines of "family members," and passively accepting and lowering the target's vigilance—all for the sake of completing the final supper.

But fate is cruel; a meticulously planned scheme may crumble due to random events, just as the most fortified city can be breached if the gates are left open.

On a whim, someone accepted an invitation and unexpectedly stumbled upon a "family annihilation" that had not yet occurred. The wicked murderer had nowhere to escape thanks to his investigation.

Under the watchful eyes of her peers, the girl quietly tightened her grip on something in her pocket, but quickly released it:

There's no point in killing him here.

Silencing him wouldn't cover up the truth, nor would it allow him to continue his plans. Because of his special identity, if he disappeared for an extended period, it would definitely attract everyone's attention, leading to a search of the entire mansion.

She had neither time to properly dispose of a body, nor the ability to make everyone forget about it and continue the banquet in peace... Moreover, killing a stranger was nothing to be proud of for her.

Now that things have come to this, it's impossible to lower the guard of the targets; the plan has completely failed.

Are you going to report me to the police?

"It seems you're trying to create a carbon monoxide poisoning tragedy, but what are these oleanders for?"

Instead of discussing when to expose her, the boy picked up a pinkish-white flower branch on the ground with great interest.

Oleander is a well-known plant that is poisonous in its entirety, but when people think of plant toxins, they instinctively think of ingestion and skin contact, since similar cases are common in life.

However, even when oleander is burned, the gas it produces is still highly toxic. If properly sealed, a small amount is enough to paralyze and poison everyone in a large hall.

"……in case."

“Charcoal burning suicide is a classic Japanese way of dying—some writers should take responsibility.”

The boy pondered seriously, "The Amber River family is currently facing a severe financial crisis, and in extreme circumstances, such a tragedy could indeed occur. But judging from these preparations, it seems you're also planning to die with them. Is it really necessary to stage a suicide scene?"
