When Murong Wanwan returned to her door, just as she was about to enter, a sudden voice stopped her: "Little Wanwan, where have you been?"

This sudden voice startled Murong Wanwan, as if she had a guilty conscience, uttering an 'ah' and screaming.

Looking back, she found that it was Liu Ying who had stopped her.

This woman swayed her hips slowly as she walked over from the staircase, smiling as she scrutinized her, her gaze filled with amusement.

Murong Wanwan's little heart pounded wildly, somewhat guilty: "Oh, it's Sister Ying… I, I just wandered around casually, hehe..."

"Oh, just wandered around? But why do I smell a man's scent on you? You weren't wandering into his room, taking a shower together with him, were you?"

Liu Ying squinted her eyes and smiled, drawing closer to Murong Wanwan, her words full of teasing.

Upon hearing these words, Murong Wanwan's cheek flushed red instantly, as if painted with a layer of dye, her voice barely audible: "Sister... Sister Ying, don't say things like that! There's no such thing..."

Even though she didn't admit it verbally, her expression said it all, so Liu Ying wasn't going to believe her.

"Really? If you didn't go to Ye Xuan's place, how come you snuck out of his room? And with your hair so wet, it's obvious you took a shower together with him! Look at your guilty look, am I wrong?"

Liu Ying chuckled, like an old-timer who saw through everything, continuing to tease: "I say, Little Wanwan, you're getting bolder, daring to fool around openly under Lin Tong's nose. Aren't you afraid of getting caught and sent to the Cold Palace?"

Murong Wanwan pursed her lips, lowered her head, and pleaded: "Sister Ying, please don't say anything about this, if Sister Tong knows, she'll definitely have issues with me..."

"Haha, of course, I won't say anything. After all, we're on the same side soon, and will become allies! Why would I sell out dear Little Wanwan?" Liu Ying said sweetly with a charming smile.

Allies?

Murong Wanwan was puzzled and didn't understand why Liu Ying would say that!

But she understood the implication in her words, and finally felt relieved, gratefully said: "Thank you, Sister Ying."

...

In another bedroom.

Seeing Murong Wanwan had safely left, Ye Xuan also sighed in relief, his mood relaxed, but his actions did not stop. He increased his attack, clearly intending to launch an assault and breach the defenses of this fortress!

"Ye Xuan, not now... Let's wait until I finish bathing, then we'll continue..." Lin Tong's face was flushed, her speech broken.

At this point, Ye Xuan wouldn't let her go.

Murong Wanwan's little mischief had already stoked his desire, which hadn't extinguished yet! Now, thanks to Lin Tong, the fire burned even stronger, there's no way Ye Xuan would let the opportunity slip by!

"Dear, it's perfect, let's battle while showering."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan, without another word, picked Lin Tong up and strode towards the bathroom.

...

Eleven o'clock at night.

Inside a luxurious club in Shangjing.

In a VIP area on the club's top floor, inside a large private room, three men sat on a soft sofa, holding wine glasses, and enjoying a drink.

The dark red wine swirled in the glasses, reflecting a gloomy hue under the lighting, adding a layer of darkness and profundity to the atmosphere.

"Haha! That Wu Jindao is really so muddle-headed, cleverness backfired on him! He actually crippled his own arm. He was already unpopular, and now he's even more overwhelmed, he's doomed this time."

The man sitting on the left side of the sofa, with an aquiline nose, seemed extremely excited, laughing out loud.

"Tch, I never thought he was smart. He just latched onto a big opportunity at the right time. Without the Feng Family's support, do you think he'd have his current status? He's got to where he is merely by luck and not brains! Without the Feng Family, who knows if he'd still be hauling bricks somewhere."

The fair-skinned man on the right, dressed in a pink shirt, said mockingly, visibly disdainful.

"Hehe, I agree with you, having the Feng Family is indeed like resting under a big tree! No matter who's in his position, they could've reached this point. Wu Jindao relies on luck, not ability! If it were Fan Yi here, the Golden Saber Society would've developed even better." The aquiline-nosed man responded sarcastically.

"Of course! Our Fan Yi's IQ could definitely beat Wu Jindao's. Just using minor tactics this time made them kill each other while Wu Jindao severed his own limb, clearing a loyal yet dim-witted obstacle like Jiang Jinchao! Who could rival Fan Yi's intelligence? If Fan Yi replaced Wu Jindao, it'll definitely be what the people want, he'd outshine Wu by miles."

The man in the pink shirt said, filled with admiration, extremely complimentary!

And this Fan Yi they admired and complimented was actually the man in the black windbreaker sitting on the opposite sofa.

Based on his appearance, he turned out to be Fan Yi, the Deputy Chief of the Golden Saber Society!

"Exactly! In my opinion, Fan Yi was just born at the wrong time, otherwise Wu Jindao wouldn't matter now, right? Fortunately this time, Wu Jindao doomed himself, absurdly attempting to break away from the Feng Family, allowing Fan Yi to seize the chance, replacing Wu Jindao's position is just a matter of time!"

The aquiline-nosed man also joined in, speaking with schadenfreude.

"Thirty years east, thirty years west! Fortune rotates, Fan Yi's talent can finally be displayed, no longer suppressed! From now on, the underground force in Shangjing is all in Fan Yi's control."

The man in the pink shirt continued to flatter him.

The two, exchanging compliments, almost exalted Fan Yi!

Their sycophancy didn't make Fan Yi annoyed; instead, he enjoyed it, leaning comfortably against the sofa, sipping the red wine.

Because he hated when others said he wasn't smart, he loved being called clever. Intelligence was always his weak point since childhood! And now, he felt his intelligence had risen, naturally cherishing it.

"Alright, you two should stop exaggerating, or else the sky will collapse! How come I never discovered your talent for flattery before?"

Fan Yi glanced at them casually, making them a bit embarrassed.

Just about to speak, but was cut off by Fan Yi, who warned: "Don't underestimate Wu Jindao, for him to reach this position wasn't just because of the Feng Family's support. Without some brains, he would've been eliminated by enemies! Now things are at the most crucial juncture, we can't underestimate the opponent and let all efforts go down the drain!"
