Volume 1, Chapter 36: Choosing a Life

At the hospital, Zhang Weimin and Liu Fangfang were struck by a vehicle. Passersby witnessed the accident and promptly called the police and emergency services. Upon receiving the report, Officer Qin Yong was shaken to learn that the victim was Zhang Weimin and rushed to the hospital immediately. In the emergency room, Zhang Weimin remained in critical condition, fighting for his life. Liu Fangfang had suffered a miscarriage due to the impact and was experiencing severe hemorrhaging, requiring an urgent blood transfusion. The doctor explained that the hospital's blood supply was insufficient and requested that they find as many donors as possible, as the bleeding had not yet been staunched and the total volume needed could not be estimated.

Ke Li, her heart shattered, stared blankly as these thoughts consumed her. After a long while, the chaotic noise around her began to fade. Feeling slaps on her face and hearing faint, intermittent calls, Qingfeng was finally jolted from her unconscious state. Instinctively, she grabbed the large hand that was striking her and twisted it hard.

Zhang You did not offer an explanation, thinking to himself that since Wang Rong had been titled a Noble Lady, he wondered if she had conceived the imperial heir during her tryst with Zhu Yijun. If she were pregnant, she would undoubtedly be the historical Consort Gong Wang.

As they walked, they encountered Gu Panpan. They were all well-known figures in the capital’s entertainment industry and were acquainted with one another. The guards, each robust and imposing, kept a watchful eye on the air pirates hovering around them, their disciplined movements suggesting a formidable power.

The reorganization followed the structure of the Beihai Volunteer Army, and new officers were appointed accordingly. "Teacher Guan, now that things have reached this point, I hope such troubles will not arise again," Su Yang said, turning to Guan Xuelan with a calm expression.

Jia Lian untied the ropes around Baoyu’s hands and removed the gag from his mouth, allowing him to move freely. "Well done!" The officers couldn't help but give Su Yang a thumbs up; his sharp tongue had diffused the awkward situation in just a few words.

Loach Wang hurriedly waved his hands to explain to Qingfeng, well aware that as a prisoner under custody, escaping the detention room without permission would only compound his crimes.

Not long after, President Kawasaki returned to Japan with his new company established in South Korea. He acquired all the liquidated assets of SNK Corporation, while offloading hundreds of billions of yen in debt onto that unfortunate Japanese enterprise.

"When I formulated the strategy, I didn't think the bandit groups would reach the outskirts of the city... It takes a day for the intelligence chief to send word, and after the bandits receive the news, they argue among themselves, reorganize, and march. By the time they reach the city, the remaining two days likely wouldn't be enough."

A dull thud echoed in the sky as a three-hundred-meter-wide airship, fueled with gasoline, crashed into the main road. Buying the airship was for this very moment.

"Since Teacher Qi is so confident, you mustn't lose too miserably." Hearing Qi Wanru’s words, the bald man’s smiling face stiffened for a moment. He quickly recovered and spoke to Bali and the others behind him. Although his tone hadn't changed much, anyone could tell he was speaking ironically.

He was shocked by the spiritual energy contained in this elixir; it was truly a treasure. Perhaps only the Supreme Divine Sect’s God Elixir possessed such efficacy? He hurriedly reached into Ying Zheng’s void gate once more.

At a distance of about thirty paces, Hua An could clearly hear the craftsmen talking. With a sudden flick of his fingers through the air, the spirit tablet of Bi Xiuxin inside the room turned instantly to powder and dust.

"To use a finger to demonstrate that a finger is not a finger is not as good as using a non-finger to demonstrate that a finger is not a finger; to use a horse to demonstrate that a horse is not a horse is not as good as using a non-horse to demonstrate that a horse is not a horse. Heaven and earth are but a single finger; the myriad things are but a single horse."

Watching Lin Rong’s retreating figure, Yu Rui shook her head helplessly. Although Lin Rong said nothing, she instinctively felt that the girl had likely surrendered her heart to Fang Mingyuan.

Though adventurers would enter this place in the future, the nature of the hunt would be reversed. Even if an entire party went missing in the Misty Forest, as long as the Adventurers' Guild received no report, no investigation team would be sent.

He never would have married Li Yingxue if her father hadn't used trickery to exploit Bai Yu.

"Yes, yes, I know," Xiling Yu wiped the tears of laughter from her eyes. "It’s just that Shi Ruoguang is truly too good to you. I... I originally thought he was a homosexual."

And so, along the way, Feng Limuo was pestered by Lan Ze until they reached the originally agreed-upon location.

Su Ning, dressed elegantly, followed Su Dafu to the banquet. A nouveau riche like Su Dafu would typically not have been qualified to attend, but he had ridden the coattails of Zhang Jiangui.

"..." Ryan was speechless once again, thinking to himself that when it came to playing dumb while knowing the truth, she was truly the best.

"I probably won't have a chance to host anymore; there’s too much to busy myself with, and the postgraduate entrance exam is in January," Chen Qing paced along the dormitory corridor, leaning against the window.

The transition from a guest at the Pujiang Hotel to a cleaner was quite a shift; most people wouldn't be able to swallow their pride like that.

She continued to use her light-agility technique, skimming across the water like a swallow to reach Fei'er and the others. Only then did she have a moment to look back, just in time to hear a "splash."

"What do you mean we aren't by his side?" Li Chunlan grew increasingly panicked. Unbidden, a scene formed in her mind: her son tied to a wooden stake, being lashed with a whip, each strike leaving a bloody welt, with no one around to help—calling to heaven and earth with no response.

Hatake Sakuhy pressed his voice to a whisper to ensure that no one passing by could overhear their conversation.

Lanlan took the clothes to the dressing room to try them on, finally choosing a black, low-cut, off-the-shoulder evening gown. It was the first time she had ever worn something like this.

More and more Rain Ninjas began to kneel before Pain, until, in the end, every single one of them knelt in submission before him.

Furthermore, Bai Zongyi flew higher and higher, not flying within the space of the formation, but attempting to break completely free of the grand array.

Uchiha Itachi turned around with a cold expression and picked up the cat mask that had fallen to the ground.

She had been married to him, and they had shared intimate moments, but he was usually the active one, domineeringly controlling the pace while she simply followed along.

After a long while, the extension of the wings on Lanlan’s back finally receded. She slowly returned to her usual appearance, but her entire body was already soaked in blood. Her deep red eyes were devoid of life, profound and bottomless.

Two and a half months ago, the Lin Group joined a real estate project, pooling funds with three other companies to invest in a plot of land through mortgage loans. As it turned out, the land’s geology was substandard, and the project was declared a failure.

But just as she turned around, she saw a tall, imposing figure ahead—Li Junmo had arrived.

As the smoke dissipated, a burly man wearing a headscarf with a hideous scar across his face appeared on the podium.
