Liu Ruyi had long wanted to escape the control of Second Young Master Feng, but had struggled to find an opportunity. Last time, she managed to get close to Su Ze with great difficulty. If she could indeed deepen her relationship with Su Ze, once she stepped into the southwestern territory, with Sunan King's protection, she would no longer have to worry about Second Young Master Feng.

But who would have thought that Su Ze was so useless? Although he had many dirty thoughts, he never took any actual actions. He promised her a lot, but in the end, he mysteriously disappeared as if he had evaporated.

With some inquiries, Liu Ruyi found out that Su Ze had been personally taken away by Dragon Teeth's leader, Duan Nanye. Punishment was inevitable, and her idea of going to the southwest was completely shattered.

Unexpectedly, just when she was worried about remaining under Second Young Master Feng's control, Yuan Shao came to her, seeking a large amount of funding, saying he wanted to buy the entire medicinal street and cooperate with Liu Ruyi in business.

Being in the casino business, Liu Ruyi definitely had large amounts of liquid assets.

Upon a bit of investigation, Liu Ruyi found out that Yuan Shao had joined forces with Azure Dragon Commerce, which presented a golden opportunity.

If she could get involved with Azure Dragon Commerce, getting rid of Second Young Master Feng's control would be just around the corner.

Without much thought, Liu Ruyi lent a significant amount of assets to Yuan Shao.

These past few days, Liu Ruyi hadn't been idle. She had been continuously having people watch Yuan Shao and saw that Yuan Shao was moving swiftly, not only acquiring the entire medicinal street but also with an imposing demeanor, as if he intended to sweep through all of Yun City, giving her an inexplicable thrill.

Seeing Yuan Shao speaking so bluntly, Liu Ruyi gave a charming smile, "General Yuan, how can you say that? We are partners now. Wanting me to follow you would mean you're trying to do business without any capital."

Her coquettish manner formed a subtle refusal.

Yuan Shao laughed heartily, seemingly very much enjoying Liu Ruyi's flirtations. He took a deep drag of his cigarette, leaned forward, and blew smoke into Liu Ruyi's face, saying, "Boss Liu, this time I've come back to accomplish big things. Haha, if you follow me, it would be far better than following Feng. I won't just treat you well, I'll let you enjoy the kind of treatment you never had before."

Liu Ruyi frowned, waving the smoke away from her face, pretending to be angry, she snorted, "General Yuan, you sure know how to joke. Every man brags. I know you fled from Hua Country in disgrace years ago. Now you come back with no foundation. Do you really think clinging to Secretary An's son will let you do whatever you want? If you could make Secretary An your godfather, that would be something. Making his son your godfather? What good is that?"

Clearly, Liu Ruyi didn't intend to hold back, nor did she directly reject him, she just wanted to extract information from Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao laughed, without any intention of hiding, proudly saying, "Boss Liu, you're quite sharp. Haha, my godfather is Secretary An's son, but he is also known as the savior. Besides, my godfather has deep feelings for the Sakura Falling's leader. It won't be long before he becomes the leader of Sakura Falling. By then, I'll be the godson of the Sakura Falling's leader. Isn't that enough to look down on Feng Family's Second Young Master?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyi squinted her eyes, looking at Yuan Shao with a flickering gaze.

Running an underground casino for so many years, and being Second Young Master Feng's woman in Yanjing, Liu Ruyi wasn't unaware of the affairs in the underworld.

Especially this Sakura Falling. Although it is currently under Azure Dragon Commerce's jurisdiction, Azure Dragon Commerce only has the authority to issue orders but does not have direct control.

Liu Ruyi had long heard that Azure Dragon Commerce intended to take over Sakura Falling and bring it completely under their own control.

But over the years, no one had managed to do it.

The reason was simple: the people in Sakura Falling are all masters of poison, and the leader is extremely cunning, never giving Azure Dragon Commerce a chance.

Sakura Falling had always followed Azure Dragon Commerce's orders, but most of the time, it remained outside its control.

If Yuan Shao's words were true, and An Cangsheng's son could indeed control Sakura Falling, then he could possibly stand on equal footing with An Cangsheng within Azure Dragon Commerce.

When that happens, Yuan Shao would naturally rise in position, and would no longer regard Second Young Master Feng.

Instinctively, Liu Ruyi glanced at the woman beside Yuan Shao, feeling that this possibility was very high.

Because Yuan Shao came to ask for money without holding back any cards, directly presenting Brother Shui, Huo Yi, and Tu Wan to Liu Ruyi.

These three are An Cangsheng's close aides, Master Five, and An Cangsheng sending three of them with Yuan Shao shows his importance to Yuan Shao. It also indicates An Cangsheng's strong support for his son's actions.

As Liu Ruyi knew, An Cangsheng's son was only in his thirties, but Yuan Shao was already in his fifties.

Although she despised Yuan Shao for recognizing An Cangsheng's son as his godfather, after a moment's thought, Liu Ruyi understood that in front of power, age was no longer an issue.

In this world, many would envy the chance to become An Cangsheng's grandson.

Since Yuan Shao managed to gain this recognition, it proved his remarkable ability.

"General Yuan, my casino is worth billions. If I use it as a dowry, it would surely offend Second Young Master Feng completely." Liu Ruyi said, instinctively pulling at her collar, revealing an enticing cleavage before Yuan Shao's eyes.

With his spirits high, Yuan Shao was about to advance and enjoy her charms, while promising some benefits, when a hurried sound of footsteps came from outside.

"General, General, there's bad news." Someone rushed in, nervously looking at Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao's face darkened, yelling, "Dammit, didn't you see I'm busy? What bad news? This general is perfectly fine!"

The person looked up, clearly caught by Liu Ruyi's striking figure, but quickly lowered his head, trembling, "There's trouble at the medicinal street. Brother Shui has been captured, others are either injured or fled, everyone has been driven out of the medicinal street."

"What?" Yuan Shao's eyes widened, grabbing the messenger's collar, he snarled, "You mean someone defeated Brother Shui?"

"Y-yes." The messenger shook with fear but quickly nodded.

"Dammit, is there such a person in Yun City?" Yuan Shao's face grew grim as a storm, he threw the messenger away, glancing at the seductive woman beside him and commanded, "Gouge out his eyes. He doesn't know what's appropriate to look at!"

The messenger was instantly dumbfounded. Before he could plead, the seductive woman had already struck, her slender fingers piercing into his eyes directly.
