Previously, Shi Fumeng had bribed that person to get a general idea of the situation inside.
For instance, there were usually only about seven or eight guards, and their cultivation levels weren't high.
After she and Xu Mu entered, they could almost instantly take them out.
She didn't expect there to be so many people this time.
When Shi Fumeng first entered, she saw a burly man chatting and laughing with that woman in leather, obviously planning to see her off.
Because of this, there were so many experts here.
Shi Fumeng hadn't expected her luck to be this terrible.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Zi Wangyou's eyes suddenly locked onto Xu Mu, even though he was wearing a mask and a hat.
But this height, this build, and those eyes... why did he look a bit familiar?
"I am Wang Shouyi."
Xu Mu cupped his hands slightly.
"Wang Shouyi?"
Zi Wangyou frowned slightly.
"That's right. My purpose for coming today is very simple. I, Wang Shouyi, want to see what you're really made of!"
As Xu Mu spoke, he instantly charged towards Zi Wangyou.
Seeing this, Shi Fumeng's face instantly turned pale. Normally, if she encountered such a situation, she would definitely run away immediately.
She didn't expect Xu Mu to actually dare to attack head-on.
Now, Shi Fumeng was stuck in a dilemma, unable to decide whether to leave or stay.
"Let's risk it!"
Shi Fumeng gritted her teeth and unleashed her power. But as she bravely rushed in front of these people, she was instantly dumbfounded.
Xu Mu was gone!
She looked left and right but couldn't find a single trace of Xu Mu.
Swish!
The middle-aged man with short hair over there turned into a flash of light, instantly appearing in front of Shi Fumeng. He grabbed her by the neck and lifted her into the air.
"Holy shit! Are you screwing with me?"
Shi Fumeng's face immediately flushed red. This Xu Mu... she had just thought he was going up to fight.
If she had known he was going to run, Shi Fumeng would have retreated from the ruins.
"You've got a lot of nerve, woman, daring to trespass into our territory!"
The short-haired middle-aged man had a sinister look in his eyes and grinned. "However, you're quite a beauty."
"Senior! Spare my life! I wandered in here by accident. I had no idea anyone was here."
Shi Fumeng raised both hands, tears streaming down her face. Because she was being choked, her words were slurred. "Spare me!"
"Mr. Wang Liu, don't kill her just yet. Her accomplice also broke in just now; she's the perfect hostage."
Zi Wangyou walked over briskly. "Absolutely nothing can go wrong here."
Wang Liu smiled and glanced at Zi Wangyou. "Vice Minister, I didn't plan on killing her anyway. I just want to have some fun with her."
Catching the crucial point, Shi Fumeng's expression turned icy. "If you dare to defile me, I'll kill myself right now!"
"Oh, you're quite an interesting woman, but I have Spring Night Grass in my hands. When the time comes, not only will you not commit suicide, but you'll be the one taking the initiative."
As Wang Liu spoke, he carefully sized up Shi Fumeng.
He had to admit, her looks and those legs were indeed top-tier. The only flaw was her chest.
It looked to be only an A-cup, but he could tolerate that.
Staying here all day, knowing there were so many beautiful women coming and going outside, yet he couldn't lay a finger on them.
The organization had made it very clear: incidents could happen anywhere else, but absolutely not at his mall.
If someone went missing here, the state would definitely send people to investigate. Once the ruins were discovered, their research institute would suffer heavy losses.
Since this woman delivered herself to his doorstep today, he had no choice but to graciously accept.
"Mr. Wang Liu, it won't be too late to play with her after we catch that man."
Zi Wangyou said from the side. "I'm sure you can tell that their relationship isn't ordinary, and men like pure and untainted women."
Hearing this, Wang Liu released Shi Fumeng's neck. He nodded to himself; it made sense.
Being a man himself, he naturally understood male psychology.
If this woman remained untouched, under normal circumstances, a man would risk his life to save her.
But if she had been played with, the man would start hesitating.
"The Vice Minister truly understands us men."
Just as Wang Liu finished speaking, he landed a punch on Shi Fumeng's chest.
Bang!
Shi Fumeng's body jolted violently, and blood spewed from her mouth. Her body instantly went limp, and she collapsed to the ground.
Wang Liu personally grabbed Shi Fumeng by the shoulder and walked toward the depths of the ruins.
Zi Wangyou followed behind Wang Liu.
"Hmm? Vice Minister, aren't you going back?"
Wang Liu looked at Zi Wangyou in surprise.
"As a member of the Defense Department, since someone has broken in, I must investigate thoroughly before I can leave. Otherwise, if the higher-ups blame me, I won't be able to bear the consequences."
Zi Wangyou said softly.
That man's voice just now also sounded very familiar.
She instantly thought of Xu Mu.
If the other party really was Xu Mu, she wouldn't know what to do.
The first thought that popped into her mind was definitely to kill him.
All the heavenly materials and earthly treasures she had painstakingly gathered had been looted clean by that bastard Xu Mu.
But on second thought, she recalled her previous encounter at the Xu family manor.
Shentu Wan and Xie Wangwei, unprecedentedly great villains, had ties to the Xu family.
The scene of her being scared out of her wits last time was still vivid in her mind.
A dangerous thought flashed through her mind.
That was to find a way to save Xu Mu and make him owe her a favor.
Would that mean ruthless figures like Shentu Wan and Xie Wangwei would also owe her a favor?
She knew the terrifying nature of Salvation, for example, Jiang Mingzhuo who had joined them.
Even the founder of the Immortality Research Institute was somewhat wary of him and guarded against him at every turn.
One must know that the person who founded the Immortality Research Institute had reached the absolute peak in strength.
Having people like that owe her a favor would make getting her revenge a piece of cake.
"Hahaha! That's true. Vice Minister, you're smarter than me. I'll listen to you."
Wang Liu laughed at Zi Wangyou.
He openly sized up Zi Wangyou; in his eyes, this woman had a very tragic fate.
Rumor had it that Zi Wangyou belonged to the Nine-Tailed Fox clan. He heard that this race possessed powerful bedroom techniques.
They could make a man experience heavenly bliss, something he dreamed of experiencing.
"Our primary goal right now is to seal off the ruins and prevent the intruder from escaping."
Zi Wangyou walked briskly toward the depths.
...
Meanwhile, Xu Mu had already cast an illusion array, altering his appearance. The clothes he wore were now similar to those of the guards here.
He had never intended to fight just now, so he cast a stealth barrier and escaped behind the buildings over there.
He sighed, feeling a bit guilty toward Shi Fumeng.
He hadn't expected her not to run; seeing his feigned attack, she had actually charged in too.
Since things had turned out this way, Xu Mu had no choice but to save her.
After walking deeper, he saw many large laboratories. Scanning the area with his perception,
he saw many people wearing white lab coats inside.
Thus, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Xu Mu used the illusion array to change his appearance once more. This time, he turned into a researcher wearing a white lab coat.
"You! Come here!"
Right at that moment, a woman walked out from a distant building, pointed at Xu Mu, and shouted.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately...

Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
