On the way from the golf course just now, the taxi she took nearly got caught at a red light and was left behind by Chen Yonghui. So this time, she refused to take a taxi no matter what, insisting on riding together with them in one car.

“Is that meant as a compliment?” Feng Yufei tilted his head, a faint smile spreading across his delicate features, causing those who saw it to involuntarily curve their lips in response.

Casting an appreciative glance at him, we took out our flashlights and moved forward. Perhaps it was just an illusion, but in the mountain air, the moon hanging in the sky appeared red, its crescent shape reminiscent of a sickle.

“Actually, only my maid beside me is unaware of today’s events; otherwise, she would have shown some signs that could be noticed. Many others are lurking in the shadows; I won’t be in danger,” she said softly, comforting him.

Along the way, Wang Xiang wanted to communicate with these three sisters, but they barely responded, which truly wounded his thick-skinned heart.

However, he had indeed researched Jing Tian’s hometown and had lived in Tokyo for nearly twenty years. Therefore, handling Jing Tian’s inquiries should pose no problem.

Baitali’s followers now wore sullen, ashen faces, momentarily forgetting they had just helped Baitali to his feet.

As for the Fifth Prince, she was thoroughly displeased. She was well aware of the covetous glances he cast her way. Having witnessed such matters too many times, if one day he were to hold absolute power over life and death, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Haizhou Industrial and Commercial Bank serves as the main account bank for the Dingxin Company, where most of its working capital is kept. Thus, he had a decent relationship with Manager Ma but was surprised to be denied entry this time.

After returning to the hotel, Jia Haoming called Mark again, requesting the transfer of technology to Tengfei Company.

Zhang Xingming pointed towards Qian Bos, who was visibly eager, prompting Qian Bos to leap up and salute the group enthusiastically.

Yun Fang smiled in thanks. Ever since Zhang Danian had brought the five big coins to their home, she had cleverly inquired with her father about the exchange rate between these coins and silver. If they hoped to expand their business in the future, they certainly couldn’t rely solely on copper coins for transactions. Silver was easier to handle and keep.

Within his mind’s eye, the mirrored scenes continued running, showing the ongoing battle in the ancient city, never straying from his focus. Thus, he was not afraid of any sudden developments, especially since Jiang Youke had already gone ahead to assist in another world.

At that moment, the troops lurking between the four gates sprang into action. Armed with handheld swords and knives, they surged forward in an instant.

“No, if we notify the lord now, it might affect him. I plan to wait until the situation here is entirely unfavorable before informing the lord,” Jia Fu replied.

Just as Feng Xue pondered how to evade, a long spear suddenly leapt into view from the side, deflecting the steel blades one by one with a rhythm full of the beauty of dance.

The blow was heavier than mine, but fortunately, it was effective. In less than a minute, the scoundrel regained consciousness from his faint.

I smiled but did not tell Zhuzi about Er Dan’s condition, only saying that Er Dan had encountered certain opportunities, which explained his current state.

Though Mother said nothing, her eyes were filled with tenderness and pain. Without words, Yun Fang understood what Mother intended to do.

After all, the appearance of dozens of rule-bound spirits, even if they could not defeat the enemy, self-destructing one after another would surely terrify a great many.

At that moment, Li Guozhong caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye of many people suddenly emerging from a nearby office building.

Jiang Jiang spoke with a calm and composed tone, telling him she had always known what she should and should not do.

Li Yi agreed with Qin Gang’s words. He had thought similarly: the secluded location of Lushan Yijing made it unlikely that someone would travel there just to kill unless there was a deep grudge or Ye Mengyin knew some shocking secret, which could basically be ruled out.

Jiang’s father’s voice sounded stern, yet his gaze was filled with a kind of intoxication.

“Then give me his name and contact number. We’ll find time to verify with him. This is routine business. If we need you to provide more information, we’ll come to you again,” Li Yi said.

On the tea table, the fruit plate still held some dried fruits. Li Yi picked one up and sniffed—it was an apple.

By the time they had wandered until one in the afternoon, everyone was hungry. They left the botanical garden and went to a Chinese restaurant, ordering a full table of dishes.

We focused all our attention on tracking, eventually losing our way in the woods, as darkness began to fall.

Li Yi casually mentioned to Wei, “By the way, we investigated Shen Zhibin’s phone records. Recently, you’ve been on the phone with Shen quite often. Could it be that he’s planning some project and wants you to smooth over the connections and open paths for him?”

Repeatedly turned away, Jiang Yunzhou was so angry he couldn’t help but kick the door.

“Aunt Chu will handle it for me. I trust her abilities,” Mu Lixiao said after entrusting the matter to Chu Shier, feeling she no longer needed to worry. Aunt Chu could completely manage it. As for what identity she would create, as long as it wasn’t a brothel courtesan, there shouldn’t be major problems.

A loud crash rang out. Yet the spider monster had underestimated Liu Mang’s strength! With a single punch, Liu Mang blasted a huge crater in the spider’s body. White fluid mixed with innards splattered everywhere.
