Chapter 51: Brutally Killing Lin Jiabao
The main issue was that he currently had no idea where Cong Jiawei had been taken, nor whether he was dead or alive. Otherwise, why bother wasting words with Bai Hanfei? He would have simply gone and taken the person by force.
However, they were forced to bow to others and depend on the Yan family, not daring to directly offend Yan Qian, leaving them caught uncomfortably in the middle.
During the meal, Mother Lin chattered excitedly at the table about how Pan Wei had saved Liu Ying's grandson. With all her exaggerations, everyone at the table stared at her.
Hearing Liu Yan's words, the three gamblers blushed deeply. Having dominated the gambling circles for many years, they had actually lost to a novice today.
Meanwhile, constrained by Chi Jingguo's presence, Luo Lengning could only cast a resentful glance at a certain someone, thinking to herself, "The Chief could have just left; why did he have to chase me away as well?"
As for the silver needles piercing Jiang Yueyan's body, they seemed to contain a thread of internal energy, vibrating faintly the entire time.
Ren Buji leaned against a tree, using a snapped sword to shave the stubble from his face. With a swollen face, Wang Yan stammered, "Xiao Jie, the room number..." Jian Yuxi ignored him, walking instead toward the remaining four children and putting them into a deep sleep.
Jiang Yueyan's Bentley was now trailing in third place, with two cars leading the way in front and one bringing up the rear.
Pulled by that red lightning into a sea of fire, the crimson blaze truly resembled heavenly fire cascading down from beyond the nine heavens.
After finalizing the purchase, Lin Xiaoxiao handed the property over to a housekeeping company for cleaning. She did not keep a single piece of furniture or appliance left behind by the previous owner, gifting them directly to the cleaning staff, which earned her a stack of heartfelt thanks.
Li Tianling had lived long enough not to be a fool; of course he understood Li Long's intentions. Still, on the surface, he still needed Wu Que to pass the trial so that there would be no gossip or trouble in the future.
According to her diary entries, the archaeological team's camp was not actually set up near the ruins. Instead, it was a distance away, requiring a commute back and forth by camel or car.
Yet just when he was little more than a meter away, Huang Chengjiang suddenly pivoted, grabbed Nannan by the shoulder, and abruptly retreated.
After an unknown length of time, several sailors suddenly rushed out from the rooms, catching the unprepared agents off guard and shooting them down.
He tested mobilizing the ghostly energy within his body and felt no sense of obstruction. It seemed this protective force field had no effect on him and would not diminish his combat effectiveness.
Wu Que's mind was in turmoil. What could possibly damage the spiritual intelligence of a supreme spirit yet force it into hiding?
Seeing Yan Qingyu's expression, Papaya couldn't help shivering and trembling all over. "I—I..." She stammered for a long time without forming a complete sentence, clearly showing how conflicted she felt.
"But if she refuses to show up, could it be that she has grown suspicious of you?" Luyou asked with concern.
Shen Yu raised her hand and pinched me. "Are we sleepwalking? He Neng acted as our cover and got captured alive by that fellow Lin Ying. We escaped and are currently getting to the bottom of things at Wen Tingxu's bar, and then I just vaguely passed out."
Ye Tangmu opened the lid to reveal egg sandwiches, pan-fried dumplings, milk with red dates and oatmeal porridge, and beef wraps.
"As long as you provide enough medicinal diet to the Tianxiang Tower and the Yulong Hall, I have no objection to you giving the surplus to the cafeteria," said Xu Yue.
Very soft light music played inside the car. After getting in, Jiang Bai sat in a daze for a good few dozen seconds with his mind completely blank, failing even to fasten his seatbelt.
The soldiers rushed forward one by one, brandishing broadswords and fighting a bloody battle. As one fell, another stepped up to take his place. One soldier, his body slashed to shreds, shouted slogans with his dying breath in a most tragic and heroic display!
And simply because of these few sentences that clashed with both their views, the two of them had a massive argument.
Coinciding with a municipal meeting, the Gu and Mo families extended their influence, bringing the issue of the development of the eastern part of the city out into the open.
Determined not to let Ye Tangmu chase her away, she prepared a lavish breakfast the next day and waited by the door for him to emerge.
Upon hearing this, Long Ling grew immensely sorrowful and could not help nodding. He began, "Senior, it's not that I don't trust you. I have a way for you to see my memories; I have this, I can copy a portion of my memories for you..." The magical crystal immortal pupils in Long Ling's eyes lit up.
Li Ji took the card and examined it in his hand. Room cards, electricity cards, fire cards—aside from slight variations in color and pattern, the format was identical to the ones at Capital University.
"I have a way. Zhang Jing, I might need your help." Although Fan Rerer could not call off the battle against the fire dragon, Lin Xiong already had a new plan in mind.
However, Fifth Uncle suddenly felt a pain in his lumbar muscles, followed by a warm current staining his clothes. Having his defense broken by Brother Long, the latter's hard fist struck viciously against Fifth Uncle's chest.
Leng Yang now quite admired this big fatty, whose every other word was about business—truly a man who knew how to make a living.
Everyone also wanted to see whether this young girl was capable of doing hard labor, so they didn't stop her. As it turned out, the very first meal she cooked was exceptionally delicious, so much so that even the father-in-law couldn't help praising it, putting an end to any further hesitation about keeping her around.
"I am not trash! I work very hard, it's just that my comprehension is poor!" Zhang Tengchuan wiped the corner of his mouth as he spoke.
"How are you feeling?" After watching the first round of martial arts trials, Zhuge Yun asked Luo Kang with his mouth agape and a vacant stare.
"Gin, I know what you're up to!" Li Xiaohui angrily grabbed his phone and shouted at Gin.
"How can you buy anything without money? Didn't you say there was a surprise?" Tang Baijiu exposed him on the spot. The little brat still tried to fool him.
"Strange? Could some major enterprise be investing in Zhang's Construction?" The more Wu Mengxiang thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.
Qin Su had changed into a dignified cheongsam of a celebratory purplish-red hue. It was a wedding dress custom-made for her by Xia Yichen. Having missed the chance to wear it yesterday, she wore it today, accessorized with a jade necklace, exuding an elegant and poised demeanor.
The teacher's hidden intentions were as obvious as Sima Zhao's plot—known to all passersby. He wanted to see just how long the man could keep up his sophistry.
At that moment, Qinghe and Zhexue pushed the door open and walked in together. Seeing that Muchen was safe, both of their faces broke into smiles.
