"Wait a moment, in my room."

Mingyue said, rising and walking to her own room. She soon took out a somewhat old doll, which looked like it had many years on it.

"This doll was bought by my dad for my fifth birthday. Since then, he made me always keep it with me. It has been with me for so many years," Mingyue’s eyes flickered with complex emotions as she looked at the doll.

Ye Luo looked at the doll, his eyes narrowed, and said, "There’s something inside this doll."

"What? Something inside?" Mingyue was startled and examined the doll, turning it over in her hands.

"Inside, we need to take it apart," Ye Luo said.

Then the two of them took out a small knife and split the doll open, revealing a bunch of soft sponges inside. Indeed, there was something within the sponges, a palm-sized white cloth.

This piece of cloth was not ordinary. Although it looked very old, it wasn’t damaged in the least, and it had many things drawn on it. However, the edges of the white cloth were irregular, as if it was a part of a larger piece of fabric.

"What is this?" Mingyue looked puzzled.

Gazing at the white cloth, Ye Luo’s eyes flickered and he said, "I think this piece of cloth is what those people wanted to get, the so-called incomplete map."

"Is this what they were after, and why my parents were killed?" Mingyue’s complexion changed, and she stared at the white cloth.

"That’s right, this must be a very important map, and the material of this cloth is special, it’s certainly not of this mundane world," Ye Luo said gravely.

"What do you mean?" Mingyue’s eyes turned to Ye Luo.

"I suppose it might be related to the Hidden Sect. Those people just now were all very powerful, clearly not ordinary, and are probably from the Hidden Sect. In any case, your parents must have been extraordinary people, and this piece of cloth is of great importance; otherwise, your dad would not have hidden it in such an inconspicuous doll, not wanting anyone else to find it."

Gazing at the white cloth, Mingyue’s eyes showed a complex expression as she said, "What exactly is it hiding? Because of it, my parents met with disaster, and now even Uncle Lan has had an accident because of it."

"Alright, let’s not talk about this for now. With my protection, you won’t have any problems. Let’s leave this place first, and you can stay at the newly bought villa I have. It’s safer," Ye Luo said to Mingyue.

"Okay, but you keep this white cloth for me," Mingyue said.

"This..." Ye Luo hesitated.

Mingyue looked at Ye Luo and said, "Since my parents protected it with their lives, it shows they didn’t want it to fall into others’ hands. With my ability, I simply cannot protect it. It’s more appropriate for you to keep it."

"All right," Ye Luo nodded. The white cloth was indeed very dangerous to keep with Mingyue, and he also wanted to know the secrets hidden within this piece of cloth.

"It’s a pity, the lingerie show tonight was interrupted by those guys," Ye Luo suddenly said with a look of regret, his eyes sweeping over Mingyue.

Looking at the sexy lingerie beneath her pajamas, he felt a tickling desire, cursing the black-clad men countless times in his heart. If not for them, he would have been enjoying a lingerie show by now.

Perhaps he would have already devoured this extraordinary beauty. He also understood Mingyue’s intentions; her actions were clearly a seduction. If he restrained himself any further, he wouldn’t be a man. Had he known this would happen, he should have consumed her completely last time. What a waste.

Mingyue, her face flushed with color, silently entered the room to pack up her belongings, ready to move in with Ye Luo.

"Since I didn’t get to see the lingerie show tonight, you owe me a good compensation, let me enjoy it properly next time," he whispered into Mingyue’s ear as he suddenly leaned over, the warmth of his breath entering her ear, making it itch, and seemingly sending countless currents through her heart, turning her face an even deeper shade of red, almost to the point of dripping blood. She quickly dodged away, while Ye Luo let out a hearty laugh.

Meanwhile, in a large private room of a hotel, a small cocktail party was taking place, attended by stars from the entertainment industry, directors, and some film and television company executives for networking.

Among them was Shi Yanran, who, after a brief chat, found herself bored and sat aside. Her thoughts involuntarily drifted to Ye Luo.

Had it not been for her agent, Sister Fang, insisting she attend, Yan Ran wouldn’t have left Ye Luo to attend such a dull event.

At that moment, Sister Fang approached her holding two glasses of red wine, sat down beside Shi Yanran, and offered her a glass.

"What’s the matter? Not interested in this?" Sister Fang looked at Shi Yanran and said flatly.

"Sister Fang, you know I’ve never been interested in these things. I think I’ll leave first," Shi Yanran replied.

"Don’t be in such a rush, relax and have a drink of this wine first," Sister Fang suggested, holding her glass up to Shi Yanran.

Without thinking too much, Shi Yanran raised her glass and took a sip, but Sister Fang watched her drink the red wine with a strange gleam in her eyes.

"Alright, Sister Juan, I’m going to go now," said Shi Yanran, placing down her glass and standing up after taking a sip.

"Let me walk you out," Sister Fang quickly got to her feet, and the two of them left the private room of the hotel.

No sooner had Shi Yanran stepped out of the room than she suddenly swayed, her eyes becoming hazy, feeling drowsy and on the verge of sleep.

"What’s happening to me? Why do I feel like I need to sleep?" Shi Yanran said as she touched her head.

"Oh, you’re probably just tired. Go ahead and take a nap," Sister Fang said, as Shi Yanran suddenly collapsed into her arms.

At that moment, two men in suits quickly approached. Sister Fang looked at them and said, "I’ve done what you asked for, but..."

"Don’t worry, the rest of the money will be transferred to your account immediately," one of the men said. They quickly supported the unconscious Shi Yanran and swiftly left the place, while a look of excited greed flashed in Sister Fang’s eyes.

At the same time, in the Ji Family villa, Ji Lingtian stood in front of a large fish tank, feeding the fish with a box of fish food, his expression aloof, showing no emotion. A man approached quickly, bowing behind him, "Young Master, Sun Young Master has already taken action."

"Good, proceed with the next step. Only then will this plan be perfect," Ji Lingtian said indifferently.

"Understood, Young Master," the man nodded and quickly walked out.

Ji Lingtian looked at the goldfish in the tank before him, a brilliant smile forming on his lips, his deep eyes shining with a sharp glint.
