Madman. If he really has such intentions, then he must be a madman. No matter how strong he is, what can he do? A single person can never shake the Red Butterfly.

Even for myself, after so many years, I don't know what the boss of the Red Butterfly looks like. Every time I meet him, he's only wearing a mask. In the entire organization, fewer than five people know what the boss looks like.

"Zuimo."

Just as Shen Zuimo was staring at Xiaofan and pondering, Xiaofan suddenly called her name.

"Hmm?"

"You drive."

After speaking, Xiaofan stopped the car, opened the door, and got out.

"Why should I drive all of a sudden?" After switching places with Xiaofan, Shen Zuimo asked curiously.

"I'm sleepy. We're heading out in the afternoon, so I want to sleep a bit now."

"Weren't you sleeping with me last night?" Shen Zuimo continued to ask.

"Yeah, slept together." Xiaofan nodded, showing a mischievous smile.

Well, the term 'slept together' naturally leads one to think of certain ambiguous images, so Xiaofan again put on an annoying expression.

"How many hours do you need to sleep in a day?" Shen Zuimo asked again.

"Because I have a special cultivation technique safeguarding me, usually five hours is enough, but it's better if I can get a full eight hours." Xiaofan answered truthfully.

"So what were you doing last night?"

"Watching you?"

"..."

There it was again, said without a second thought. Such words eventually softened the coldness in those beautiful eyes.

Smooth talker, huh? Normally, others saying this would make Shen Zuimo think so. But this guy, when he said it, his eyes were so sincere, those clear eyes made it impossible for someone to doubt the truth of his words.

Xiaofan indeed only slowly fell asleep this morning; he was quietly watching the woman in his arms. Several times he wanted to secretly kiss her, but in the end, he gave up. He wasn't worried Shen Zuimo would get angry or anything, just afraid of disturbing the sleeping beauty, which wouldn't be right.

How long since he had looked at her face so closely, and, in fact, such opportunities wouldn't always come unless she accidentally regained her memory and remembered the sweet past they once shared.

The beautiful city grew farther and farther behind the car; after a while, Shen Zuimo would once again be her cold self. Her life at Yanhuang Soul was still that mundane and uneventful.

Beside her, Xiaofan had truly fallen into a deep sleep. Looking at his immature face, wasn't he just a little boy who hasn't fully grown up? What exactly is his inner world like?

"Wow... that, that who..."

"Beautiful, stunning."

"Geez, Shen, Shen, Shen Zuimo, Shen Zuimo..."

Alright, stepping on high heels and wearing a red dress, Shen Zuimo became the center of attention the moment she entered Yanhuang Soul. Her beauty has always been undeniable; though ordinary clothes couldn't hide her charm, the pretty clothes enhanced her grace.

When a woman's beauty can make others breathless and enchanted, her life should be cherished dearly by others, but alas... fate plays its tricks. From the day she was tricked by human traffickers, her world completely changed.

"Geez, I thought I was quite a character in the field of romance, but compared to Xiaofan, I'm just like nothing." Seeing the two walking over, Li San was truly impressed by Xiaofan, feeling deeply inferior.

"I also want to know how he does it, getting Shen Zuimo to go out with him, with Ren Ling sitting next to them before."

"Master indeed."

"Come on, his misery is probably not something we can bear." Li Kuo, however, understood his good friend very well.

Speaking of Xiaofan's misery, everyone suddenly fell silent, sighing silently.

All along the way, they watched how Xiaofan made it to today. He could have happily spent his life with Liu Siyan but, in the end, didn't even dare to speak a promise. Named a son-in-law by the Ren Family yet unable to give Ren Ling happiness. Then, inexplicably, got noticed by Chen Baicheng's daughter, leaving behind a significant romantic debt unable to repay. Lastly, in front of the woman he loved most, he became like a stranger, silently watching over her, yet she knew nothing at all.

And then there's the unknown Chen Mengying, perhaps the most foolish girl in the world. So foolish it breaks hearts. Li Kuo once hoped to court Chen Mengying, but in Capital City, when they met again, she told him she had fallen for Xiaofan and this love wouldn't change in her lifetime.

"Hmm, making it back before two o'clock was really something from you." Fan Lingtian looked at Xiaofan, then at Shen Zuimo, and said with a quirky tone.

"What? Something happened last night. We got back to Capital City and were even assassinated." Xiaofan spoke lazily, dragging his fluffy eyelids.

"What? Assassination? Knowing the danger, you still took Zuimo with you? Were you planning to cause trouble at the base in my absence?" Shen Junjie immediately looked nervously at his sister, fearing she might have gotten hurt somewhere.

"I'm fine." Shen Zuimo responded, seemingly intending to defend Xiaofan in front of her brother.

"Alright, what's the mission this time that has everyone so rushed?" Xiaofan asked casually.

"Qinghai City... The other day, we tracked down a lead on a Red Butterfly insider, after such a long period of surveillance, we discovered one of their significant bases. Daily financial transactions amount to as much as eight million. Initially wanted to wait it out for bigger catches. But the people on Red Butterfly's side have been too cautious; not a single suspicious sign in three months. Plus, their financial dealings have sped up during this period, and after discussion, we decided to take them down before they evacuate. Among us, you, Junjie, and Zuimo are most familiar with Red Butterfly's operational routines. Junjie just completed a task, and Zuimo's abilities aren't as strong as yours, making you the best choice to lead. Here are the detailed documents, you decide how many people need to be mobilized. With you leading, casualties should be minimized."

Holding a pile of documents in his hands, Xiaofan quickly skimmed through their contents.

"Li Kuo..."

Upon hearing Xiaofan call for him, Li Kuo promptly walked over.

The information up there was very comprehensive, even each target's information was exceptionally clear.

"Truly impressive..." Li Kuo remarked with slight astonishment; if he were to investigate himself, it surely wouldn't be this thorough. The intelligence network of Yanhuang Soul is indeed much more formidable than Li Kuo alone.

"Any need to keep someone alive?" Xiaofan asked flatly.

"If conditions allow, try to capture this person in charge, but no compulsion. After all, we have tried before, even with revealed leads, Red Butterfly had already begun slowing down their actions."

"No need for others, Zuimo will go with us, and that's enough." Xiaofan said calmly.
