Chapter 28: Marriage Certificate
Lu Youyou was slightly startled, hesitating for a long moment.
"What... is wrong with you?"
She had caught a thief and ended up at the police station; what did that have to do with Gu Qingye?
"If I could have come to pick you up, I wouldn't have let you wait so long."
Gu Qingye pursed his lips. He felt deeply sorry, but apologies often ring hollow when one is powerless to change the circumstances.
Lu Youyou was stunned, wanting to say something, but suddenly her throat felt constricted. Although when she first arrived, she had also thought to herself—
The eighteen rebel kings turned pale simultaneously, unable to imagine that Wu Yongxing possessed such a hidden identity. Moreover, the aura radiating from Wu Yongxing was so overwhelming that for a moment, none of them could react.
Wen Rou was somewhat annoyed, never expecting that Li Qingfeng would be so protective, shielding the fatty directly.
Catching a chair that flew out from inside, Bai Siyan first cleared her throat, then "smacked" it hard against the ground, shattering it into pieces and sending dust flying everywhere. The sudden commotion made everyone freeze and turn their heads in unison.
On the pale blue bedsheet where Nangong Zhiyin had just been lying, a large, deep crimson stain spread in layers, looking exactly like a bewitching red lotus. It was a shocking sight—magnificent, yet cruel.
Yuan Ye became anxious the moment he heard her words. "Who else could you marry if not me?" How could she say such things so lightly? Even though he knew she was joking, his fragile heart was still wounded; he always felt that some things shouldn't be said so easily.
However, the sniper had just finished rolling; before he could set up his rifle, a bullet accurately pierced the center of his forehead.
She must have said something to Xiao Zhen; otherwise, he wouldn't be avoiding her. Besides, there didn't seem to be any movement from Dongfang Yi’s side, which was the very reason she had been lectured by Ding Shusheng yesterday.
He searched the whole world, traveling through Western countries and crossing mountains, rivers, and deserts, yet he could not find even a shadow of Hao Yunzheng.
But that made sense; kitchens are naturally full of the scent of hearth and home—though would a kitchen that hadn't been used for a long time still have such a scent?
"My good sir, what is this..." Ah Xiu was currently dressed as a carriage driver. One’s appearance dictates one’s demeanor, so he tried his best to appear servile while speaking.
"But as for kickboxing, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be good if I killed your champion again," Gong Ping laughed.
"Not a single cent of those billions will be missing." Gong Ping had a complete plan to use empty hands to seize a white wolf; this was just another advanced form of gambling trickery. Commercial fraud and card sharking shared the same deep-rooted logic.
"That’s fine. For the official competition, you just need to give your arrangement to the staff. Everything will be accompanied live during the event!" Ye Mingjie said.
Strangely, Zhurong Qingmian was nowhere to be found in the room. Could it be that these two weren't a married couple and didn't live together at night?
"Fine, I will also perform an autopsy on the deceased to determine the true cause of death. It seems taking the body back to the forensic center isn't an option, so I'll have to do it on-site," Tang Long decided.
"The people have left, but there’s so much delicious food on the table; I’m packing it up." For the thrifty Huang Fu, wasting so much food was clearly out of the question.
Zhang Zhijie was very clear about what was on Zhang Yong’s mind. Zhang Yong couldn't wait for Li Dongyang to suffer misfortune and would prefer he retire and get lost immediately. With this incident occurring, Zhang Yong was likely rushing over to stir up trouble for Li Dongyang.
This was a heavy statement, and it gave Zhao Tianhui a lot of face. Liu Xuemei’s intention was to cement the sisterly bond between them; by handling this matter, their relationship would naturally deepen, which was exactly what Liu Xuemei wanted.
In the past two and a half years, he had suffered immensely. An accidental encounter with his ex-wife at the hospital led him to pay close attention to her again. As a man, he regretted divorcing her so easily back then and now wanted to reclaim those happy times.
"I intended to harm her, but I didn't expect it to end up like this. My revenge has gone down the drain; I truly cannot accept this!" Tian Ming began to shout in a frenzy of anxiety.
Opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was Long Sichu slumped over the edge of the bed, resting his eyes, so she didn't dare to move.
But the border had already dispatched five hundred thousand troops, and there were two hundred thousand garrisoned within the territory, totaling seven hundred thousand. The disparity between two hundred thousand and seven hundred thousand was terrifying.
Immediately, the earth beneath their feet shook violently, the ground sank thirty feet, and a nether tunnel appeared before Hou Xia.
Additionally, Geng Haoshi truly wanted to know the result of the game. Because, after he dunked the final ball and landed on the ground, he had fallen into a state of chaos, unable to hear or see anything.
Because the Tibetan army excelled in cavalry and field warfare, to intimidate his generals and boost morale, the Tibetan King rarely lived in the royal palace. Instead, he would set up a Golden Tent near the army and stay there to oversee the battle.
"Hee hee, you saw through me. I came today to give Jing Lichen a surprise; you are not allowed to tell him I'm here." She brandished her soft, pink fist in a threat that held no intimidation whatsoever.
After arriving at the inn, Huang Rong insisted on separate rooms for everyone. Guo Jing was quite puzzled by this, feeling that Huang Rong was just wasting money.
His heart tightened suddenly, and with gentle movements, he pulled her into his arms as if protecting a priceless treasure, then turned and vanished.
After Luo Yan left, Zhuge Qingyun went to the Hong Kong branch of the Yanhuang organization and found Zhu You.
That night, Yi Yang, Kuang Manjiao, and the Seven Elders became the first batch of Three Emperors Society disciples to move into the main headquarters.
"It's fine, Yuanyuan. Calling me here definitely wasn't your idea. You don't need to apologize to me," Wang Jian waved his hand, looking indifferent.
