28 The Fourth Person

"Do not speak, look ahead." Guiguzi's voice was steady, his expression solemn, entirely devoid of his usual wit, fully embodying the demeanor of a grandmaster.

After a few seconds of waiting, that familiar, languid voice appeared in Merlin's ear.

On Monday, Liang Zhen went to S City for her visa interview. There were no surprises; the interview went smoothly. All that remained was to wait for the visa to be issued. She wasn't idle during that time, however—undergoing medical exams, getting vaccinations, and applying for housing. While the biggest hurdles seemed to be over, the remaining trivialities were still incredibly draining.

For instance, the predecessors of the Hausa tribe were not purely human, nor were they highly intelligent. They only evolved to be roughly similar to humans over a long period. The greatest contributor to this was the Graham Pyroxene.

Zhong Shoucheng had been in a foul mood all morning. He was dissatisfied with the caregivers, the nannies, and by extension, Jiang Yujiao. Several subordinates who came to visit him in the hospital suffered as well; he caught them on minor work errors and lectured them relentlessly until they all slunk away in shame.

Since Jiang Yujiao's departure, Zhong Ying had also completely moved out of the South Building. With no one living there, most of the previously hired nannies had been dismissed, leaving only a few to tend to the courtyard and gardens.

In the distance, a flash of surprise crossed Mo Wen's eyes. That scimitar was strange; it possessed a powerful soul-force and a sinister, gloomy aura, as if a ghost were imprisoned within it. Such things were rare and usually only found in the hands of those who practiced dark arts; it should not have been in Qin Qiao's possession.

Although Zhu Zhentian could make appointments directly, if Xiang Yue did not approve, the person would not last long as a cave master under his peak. Therefore, Zhu Zhentian generally did not interfere and would only grant confirmation after the subordinate peak master had verified it.

Wei Tai stopped in his tracks, thought for a moment, and a look of disdain appeared on his face. He turned around and walked back toward Li Dong.

Upon returning to the South Building, she began searching for a caregiver for Chen Xingyong, contacting agencies and interviewing candidates one by one. After two days of busy work, she still hadn't found a suitable person.

One had to realize that the cage was still there, and Wu Lie's strength served as a deterrent to everyone present. Furthermore, Cang Yu was guarding them, so even those who harbored intentions against Wu Lie dared not act. Since that was the case, why put on such a display as if facing a formidable enemy?

Seeing the emergence of the Underworld army, the heart that Lei Dong Tianxia had been clutching finally settled. He had been truly terrified just moments ago; after all, Yang Lu's strength was genuinely horrific.

While Hei Gudu was wondering how to put some distance between himself and Yang Lu, Yang Lu's terrifying voice suddenly echoed in his ears. Immediately after, he felt a spiritual force ten times more powerful than before surging toward him.

Leng Miqian was instantly silenced; this sudden news required some time for her to digest.

Although Qi Rongguang's intentions had nothing to do with her, he constantly insisted on her joining the company. If she claimed to have no suspicion, no one would believe her. She was genuinely worried that Li Yue would overthink things; she did not share her husband's obsessive pursuit of power and fame.

Fortunately, thanks to Li Yue's warning, the casualties this time were significantly lower than what was recorded in history.

If Li Yue dared to destroy their carrier strike group, he would dare to strike New York. But where would his target be?

"Yes, yes, yes! You should have called me that long ago! Come, come, call me that once more and let this old man hear it?" Ito Katsumei's eyes were full of anticipation, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Zhuo Ling looked up; from his position, he could see the entrance to the alleyway. He saw He Nanxi standing there in a formal suit. With light behind her, she appeared to have a halo around her. She hunched over, placing her hands to her mouth to mimic a cat's meow, looking so gentle and lovely.

Li Yue opened the input window and sent a pop-up New Year's greeting to all Momo users. Since today was January 1, 2001, Li Yue wrote some New Year wishes before shifting the topic to express his stance on the recent incident.

Looking through the glass window on the door, they saw that Ji Chen had woken up, and they couldn't help but feel happy for him.

Because they were afraid that if they mentioned it was an iron plate, this man wouldn't help them search, they could only lure him by claiming it was a hidden cache of gold.

He had thought she was angry with him and that she truly didn't want to deal with him anymore; he hadn't expected her to reach out and hold his hand.

Ye Qing realized the truth, and the hatred in her heart reached its limit. She had wondered how the rotten-to-the-core Gao family could have produced such a pure and simple-hearted Crown Prince!

Fiona always deliberately categorized the people around her into a circle of friends, supporting their friendship with herself as the pillar. Yet, at the same time, this made it impossible for them to bypass certain boundaries she had set. Perhaps this was the upbringing of a noble family—that tiresome arrogance.

The elevator doors opened, and nearly fifty tall, sturdy men in black tight-fitting clothes, wearing sunglasses and military boots, walked into the restaurant.

Ling Ji quickly pounced on him, wrapping her arms around his waist from behind. "Don't you want to relieve your loneliness? I'll help you!" She then held his hands, stroking them back and forth across his broad chest.

She was at her breaking point, already considering whether to lock the door; when Lu Yucheng returned to the room, he would naturally knock to wake her.

"Times have changed, so naturally, there's no comparison," Fiona said, waving her hand with an indifferent air.

"They didn't come back?" After Gong Ting finished asking, he was certain: given Fu Zhengci's intelligence, since he wanted to take Su Yu away, he would never let him be found easily.

"Sign here, then we will proceed through legal channels. Leave your contact information and stay in touch." Director Jiang nodded, and the handling officer immediately took out the record book.

"Since you are dissatisfied, why don't you be the Emperor? I would be only too happy to be carefree," Mo Youxun said, smoothing his sleeves and pretending to get up.
