Chapter 259 Stepping into the Game
Shen Fang stood in front of the villa's floor-to-ceiling window, clutching the wine glass tightly in her hand, her eyes cold, as if she could see through the glass into the darkness in the distance.
Outside the window, the night was deep, and the sounds of fighting in the courtyard gradually faded away, replaced by a deathly silence. Lin Chuyue and Li Zhanchuan walked slowly towards them, their steps steady, like emperors inspecting a battlefield, their eyes filled with a sense of oppression.
Shen Fang narrowed her eyes, her lips curving upwards into a cold, enigmatic smile.
"Heh... what a stubborn little girl who refuses to suffer a loss." She murmured to herself, a hint of anger hidden in her voice.
The assistant behind her, head bowed, said nervously, "Madam, they're almost at the door, should we...?"
"Shut up." Shen Fang interrupted her coldly, gently swirling the red wine in her glass. The bright red liquid shone with a bewitching luster under the light. "I want to see if she can get away unscathed this time."

Entering the game within a game
At the entrance of the villa, Lin Chuyue and Li Zhanchuan stopped and looked calmly at the closed gate.
"She won't give up so easily," Li Zhanchuan warned in a low voice, his tone tinged with coldness.
Lin Chuyue smiled slightly, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes: "Of course, she has always been good at leaving herself a way out."
As soon as the words were spoken, the door slowly opened, as if it were a net that had been set up in advance, waiting for them to step into it.
A maid in a black dress stood at the door and bowed respectfully: "Miss Lin, Mr. Li, Madam invites you in for a cup of tea."
Lin Chuyue stepped inside without hesitation. Li Zhanchuan followed closely behind, his gaze as cold as a knife, warily scanning the surroundings.
Inside the spacious villa, the lighting was soft, and the air was filled with a faint aroma of red wine. It seemed quiet and peaceful, but the more peaceful it was, the more eerie it felt.
Shen Fang sat calmly on the sofa in the center of the living room, sipping her red wine. When the two approached, she raised her eyes slightly, her smile not reaching her eyes: "Miss Lin, isn't it rather impolite of you to come visit so late?"
Lin Chuyue smiled and slowly sat down on the sofa opposite her, crossing her legs with an elegant posture: "Madam Shen is so calm and collected. My people were just ambushed outside by a group of men in black of unknown origin. How do you explain this?"
A cold glint flashed in Shen Fang's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and smiled gently: "Oh? Is that so? It seems this area has been too chaotic lately; even I didn't notice."
She put down her wine glass and looked at Lin Chuyue with a meaningful gaze: "However, Miss Lin, you don't actually think I would do something like this myself, do you?"
Lin Chuyue's smile deepened. She picked up her teacup and took a small sip, her voice soft: "Madam Shen has always been discreet, so why would she get her hands dirty? It's just... tonight's performance was arranged too obviously, which is rather clumsy."
Shen Fang's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure, picked up her wine glass and swirled it gently, saying casually, "Miss Lin, I don't understand what you're saying."
Lin Chuyue's eyes turned slightly cold as she gently stroked the rim of her cup with her fingertips. Her voice fell slowly as she said, "Then let Madam Shen understand a little."

Control and countermeasures
Just then, the hall door was suddenly pushed open, and a bodyguard in black rushed in, whispering a few words in Shen Fang's ear.
Shen Fang's face suddenly darkened, her fingers tightened involuntarily, and she stared directly at Lin Chuyue, her voice carrying a hint of danger: "What did you do?"
Lin Chuyue gently put down her teacup and said leisurely, "Madam Shen sent people to ambush me, so shouldn't I return the favor? I've always valued fairness."
Shen Fang suddenly stood up, gritting her teeth and growling, "You dare touch my people?!"
Lin Chuyue stood up unhurriedly, walked slowly to her, and looked directly into her eyes: "Madam Shen, you don't really think that you set up this whole thing today, do you?"
Shen Fang's pupils contracted slightly, her heart jolted, and she suddenly realized something.
She was... manipulated from the very beginning?!
Lin Chuyue smiled slightly and said calmly, "The relationship between hunter and prey can change at any time before the situation is settled."
Li Zhanchuan coldly added, "You set a trap to ensnare Chuyue, but unfortunately... you ended up getting yourself caught in the crossfire."
Shen Fang was shocked, realizing that the situation outside was no longer under her control.
Her men... were all wiped out?!

Warning before the curtain falls
The air seemed to freeze instantly. Shen Fang's face turned extremely gloomy, her hands gripping the hem of her skirt tightly, her chest heaving violently.
She suddenly laughed, her eyes turning sinister: "Lin Chuyue, you think you've won just like that?"
Lin Chuyue raised an eyebrow slightly, her tone calm: "No, I'm just taking back what belongs to me."
Shen Fang stared at her, her voice low and deep: "What price do you want me to pay?"
Lin Chuyue slowly approached, saying each word clearly: "You...should leave the stage."
Shen Fang's heart clenched, and her nails dug deeply into her palms. She knew... she had completely lost this round.
Lin Chuyue is the ultimate winner in this game.
