What's there to say? I've already said it so many times.

Su Rui poked the steak in front of her with her fork, looking annoyed, and couldn't help but share with Vulpisfoglia:

'They're gossiping again about my relationship with you and Lappland.'

"Otherwise what?" Vulpisfoglia glanced at Su Rui, a wicked smile playing on her lips. "It's rare to see someone so blatant, even letting their daughter know. Besides, you're so alluring. I dare say, if Lappland and I weren't so intimidating, those waiters would have tried to lure you into their room too."

'What are you trying to fool? I'm the boss. If you dare to lie to me, I'll teach you a lesson.'

Su Rui couldn't help but retort, "I'm still very strong. Just because I can't beat you and Lappland in hand-to-hand combat doesn't mean I can't handle ordinary people, okay?"

Faced with Su Rui's rebuttal, Vulpisfoglia simply smiled and remained silent, continuing to eat her dinner.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I cooked for myself."

"Our suite has a kitchen, so we can cook whenever we want, right?" Su Rui looked at her with some doubt.

He, Lappland, and Vulpisfoglia Suzuran of the Valley all lived on the top floor of the hotel; the entire building was their living space, Su Rui certainly wouldn't forget about a place like the kitchen.

'Then you'll have to cook with me.'

"Of course, no problem. I'm pretty good at cooking too." Su Rui had no objection to this.

After dinner, we went up the stairs to the rooftop lounge. In front of the sturdy railing, Su Rui had set up a lounge chair and a table with snacks and drinks, a perfect place to relax.

However, Su Rui had no intention of going with Vulpisfoglia and the others:

"You all stay here and watch. I'm going downstairs to contact Lavinia while I'm at it."

What are your plans? Don't you need our help?

Vulpisfoglia reached out and grabbed Su Rui, bringing her lips close to Su Rui's ear. "If you don't explain yourself clearly, I won't let you leave."

"I know." Su Rui rolled her eyes in annoyance. "I'm going to save someone who's about to be in a car accident. He's about to become the new mayor of New Wolseini, and he's Lavinia's brother, so I need to call Lavinia."

"So you mean what's about to happen is related to Lavinia?"

Lappland was already sitting in the recliner, looking at Su Rui with some confusion.

"Indeed." Su Rui nodded. "However, there is one thing that needs to be made clear: even if the person involved in the car accident has no connection with Lavinia, this accident will still cause a lot of chaos, and it will require a judge's investigation."

Vulpisfoglia nodded, not stopping Su Rui any further, but instead gently bit Su Rui's lips. "Then I'll stay here and watch. You can call us anytime if there are any problems."

"Of course, don't worry, there won't be any trouble."

Su Rui kissed Vulpisfoglia in return, then turned and headed towards the stairs. He heard some messy footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Lappland and Suzuran looking at him.

"... I see."

Su Rui stopped and kissed Suzuran on the cheek and Lappland on the lips before turning and walking downstairs.

As night falls, the night in New Wolseini is relatively quiet.

Through her work as a rice-sweeper, Su Rui found a red-hooded, gray-haired wolf cub who was wandering around.

Hello, Red.

Upon hearing Su Rui's voice, Hong stopped and turned to look at Su Rui, immediately recognizing her:

"You're the Su Rui Kal'tsit mentioned? I remember you... you smelled wonderful."

As Hong spoke, she moved closer to Su Rui, wanting to reach out but then hesitating slightly. "You're great with tails, but not wolf tails."

"Even if it's not a wolf's tail, it's fine, it's still furry, isn't it?"

Su Rui knew exactly what Red was afraid of. Due to training and long-term psychological suggestion, Red would subconsciously wave her knife at anything that came within a certain distance of her.

She was worried about hurting Su Rui, but that was the basis of Su Rui's plan, and also the reason for persuading Red.

A smug smile, as if she had everything under control, appeared on Su Rui's lips as she walked towards Hong: "Don't worry, Hong, you won't hurt me."

"Red can't guarantee that it won't subconsciously cut open things nearby."

In order not to hurt Su Rui, Hong subconsciously stepped back. Although Su Rui had an aura that made people subconsciously want to get close to her, this was precisely why Hong was afraid to approach Su Rui —she couldn't hurt the person she liked.

However, Su Rui seemed not to hear Red's words and continued to approach, cornering the little gray wolf against the wall. Then, she gently patted Red's head, fluffy ears, and cute cheeks with her big tail.

Hong was stunned because she realized that she hadn't subconsciously attacked... Due to long-term psychological suggestion, this subconscious attack was unavoidable. Even if Hong didn't want to hurt anyone, she would still subconsciously attack as long as they got close.

But this rule has now been broken.

Hong stared blankly at Su Rui, somewhat at a loss. "Hong, I don't understand what's going on."

"Because I'm a trustworthy person, how about it? My big tail feels comfortable, doesn't it?"

Su Rui smiled and wrapped Red in her big tail, and Red instinctively buried her face in Su Rui's big tail.

"Mmm, the red color feels warm and comfortable."

"That's right. If Hong likes it, she can come find me later, but I might not have such a big tail again."

Hong looked up with some confusion, but nodded nonetheless. "Hong, I understand."

"Yes, you can come find me if you encounter any danger."

Su Rui reached out and patted Hong's head, rubbed her ears, and smiled with satisfaction as she watched Hong's comfortable and contented expression.

The first step of the plan has been achieved; now, all that's needed is to wait a little while.

Volume 7, Chapter 446: Anyway, the car stopped, right?

Su Rui and Red's interaction was also observed by Vulpisfoglia and Lappland above.

'What's Red doing here?' Vulpisfoglia asked, puzzled. 'And Lappland seems quite wary of her.'

'Since Red was trained to hunt Lupo, it's normal for Lappland to be wary.'

Su Rui continued, adding, "But that's not the main point. The real drama is about to unfold; she and another henchman are the catalyst for this whole thing."

'You mean their fight caused those disasters? Can you stop her now?'

Wouldn't it be easier to prevent a disaster from happening in the first place than to deal with the problems after it occurs? Vulpisfoglia had some subconscious doubts, and then realized she had been a bit too talkative.

After all, given Su Rui's personality, he's probably the kind of person who thrives on chaos, so it seems unlikely that Su Rui 'd watch a scene of chaos be prevented.

"What are you thinking about that's not good?" Su Rui immediately questioned Vulpisfoglia Dong, who had remained silent. "Do you think I would do something like deliberately stirring up trouble?" she muttered.

Isn't that so? Vulpisfoglia thought to herself, but she still gently comforted him aloud:

"Of course not, I believe in your kindness, Su Rui."

"Of course, although I sometimes like to stir things up, I'm still a kind person."

Su Rui nodded and looked at a girl hiding in the shadows. "Ziyue? You're here too, right? Come out and let's meet."

At the same time, Su Rui didn't forget to emphasize to Vulpisfoglia in her heart:

'I didn't intend to cause trouble, but it seems Hong and Ziyue can't have a proper conversation without a fight.'

I had my doubts, Vulpisfoglia even so, I gave Su Rui a positive answer in my heart:

'Well, then Su Rui, to try and see if you can persuade them.'

As Su Rui's voice rang out, Red warily raised her head from Su Rui's tail and looked at the shadow where Ziyue was hiding. A black-haired Lupo girl appeared in front of them. "May I touch your tail too?"

"Of course, no problem."

Su Rui wagged its tail, as if waving to Ziyue.

Hong stared warily at Ziyue, reminding Su Rui, "She's a very dangerous person."

"... Actually, I think you'll all be going to Rhodes Island eventually, so there's really no need for you to fight, right?"

"We'll talk about that later. I want to give it a try."

Ziyue came to Su Rui's side and buried her cheek in Su Rui's big tail, rubbing gently against it. She and Hong each stood on Su Rui's side, watching each other's movements warily.

"Looks like I can't dissuade you?"

Ziyue and Hong both felt a little guilty and avoided Su Rui's gaze. They wanted to let go of Su Rui's tail but were reluctant, so they could only subconsciously reach out and stroke it.

"Alright, I won't force you."

Su Rui smiled and said, "In that case, I'll hide first."

"I understand." Ziyue nodded, then reluctantly caught up with Su Rui, buried her face in Su Rui's big tail and rubbed against it before letting Su Rui.

Hong glanced at Ziyue with some dissatisfaction, wanting to imitate Ziyue's actions and follow Su Rui to touch Su Rui's big tail again.

However, Ziyue had already made a move to attack, so Hong had to abandon her plan, take out a knife from her pocket, and watch Ziyue warily.

As Su Rui retreated into the shadows, she said to Vulpisfoglia, "The show's about to begin, and you see, I tried to stop them, but I couldn't."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work. How about I treat you to something nice after I'm done?"

Vulpisfoglia spoke, she turned to glance at Lappland, and the White Wolf gave her a knowing and subtle smile:

"Of course, how about we call Lavinia over later?"

Vulpisfoglia nodded, patted Suzuran of the Valley's little head, and said to Suzuran, who was a little confused about what they were talking about:

"Suzuran doesn't need to worry about those things; just watch how things develop."

"Okay, I understand." Suzuran nodded, not saying anything more, just staring down below.

Su Rui found a safe spot and dialed Lavinia's number again:

"Hey, Lavinia, are you still awake? Or are you asleep?"

"I'm watching TV now. What's up? It's so late; you usually don't call me."

Lavinia said, sitting up from the sofa. She hadn't changed her clothes yet, so if Su Rui was going to hand her over, there was no need for her to make any preparations.

"Yes, I'd like to ask you to come out for a bit. You're downstairs at my hotel."

Is it some kind of party?

Lavinia questioned Su Rui, but before getting an answer, she stood up and walked towards the garage.

There's no need to know the answer; since Su Rui has already called the person out, there's no way she'll be disappointed.

With that thought in mind, Lavinia got into her car and drove out of the garage.

The answer is your brother, the incoming mayor of New Wolseini, who is about to get into a car accident.

Su Rui thought this to herself, but didn't say it directly, "Don't worry, I have a surprise for you."

Helping your family member avoid a car accident would certainly be a pleasant surprise, right?

With that thought in mind, Su Rui hung up the phone.

Hong and Ziyue had already started fighting on the streets of Wolseini. Su Rui didn't really understand why they were fighting.

However, their fight was so spectacular that even Suzuran on the rooftop couldn't help but get up from her deck chair, grab the railing, and stare intently at what was happening below.

The little girl was a little disappointed. "It's a bit dark down there, so I couldn't see very clearly."

"It's okay." Su Rui's voice came from Vulpisfoglia's phone. "I'm recording right now. Suzuran can watch it as many times as she wants when we get back."

"Yes, thank you, Dad!"

Suzuran's eyes lit up, and her nine tails danced happily behind her.

Meanwhile, Su Rui, using her Scanning Vision to observe the surrounding roads, spotted the next mayor.

Hong and Ziyue were clearly oblivious to their surroundings while fighting. As their fight progressed, a truck driver was affected and accidentally crashed into another vehicle.

Our new mayor, sitting in his car, was completely unaware of what was happening.

He should be glad that Su Rui was here, even though the methods he used were somewhat crude.

Upon noticing the new mayor's car, Su Rui immediately took out his Rapid-Fire Gun from his System Space and fired several shots at the tires, causing them all to go flat.

Although some shaking was unavoidable, the car did come to a stop.

Volume 7, Chapter 447: Suzuran, go to bed early!

Inside the car, the new mayor warily drew his revolver, scanning his surroundings for potential enemies, wondering if someone wanted to eliminate him at this moment.

However, he soon saw an out-of-control truck come to a stop, grazing the front of the car he was in.

Leontuso paused for a moment, then slowly opened the car door, cautiously surveying his surroundings as he approached the truck.

Who are you?
