Chapter 43: Seeking a Certificate of Merit (Second Update)

Upon learning that Du Lianggong had hired a killer, Feng Ye immediately dispatched men to investigate everything about him. He then drove to pick up Ying Shu and brought her to the police headquarters in the Central District.

The staff at the station were filled with curiosity when they saw the Chief personally coming out to welcome a guest.

"Is there a celebrity coming to our station to film a promotional video?"

"If they were filming a promo, they would hire a famous actor, not a complete stranger we have never seen before."

"I heard the Chief invited her specifically to assist in the capture..."

However, now, thanks to the modification of nanobots, these two plants, which were supposed to grow in temperatures of tens of degrees below zero, were not only thriving in the soil of this backyard but had even begun to bloom.

Yet, the Han people in Liaodong still maintained the great landlord manor economic system of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The vast majority of impoverished Han people survived under the protection of these great landlords. Once these landlords, who leaned toward the Goguryeo royal family, decided to support Goguryeo's rule, these lower-class Han people would inevitably follow suit.

At Shizi Town, inside the Khan’s golden tent, the atmosphere was unusually solemn compared to the past.

With a thunderous explosion! Li Xiao coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood; his skin cracked, and blood seeped from his entire body. As he continued to cough, he shot into the sky like a meteor.

He was entirely out of sync with the world, making any perception useless unless the Dragon Emperor chose to reveal his presence before you.

Their discipline was strict; over fifty men acted in perfect unison, immediately charging toward the Seven-Star Battle Formation located in the Renshen position.

"Hehe!" Hearing this, Wang Shufa gave a lecherous grin and leaned in, only to be slapped on the forehead by Chen Yuanyuan.

Upon reaching the mansion, An Lushan had no time to rest before he and a few trusted confidants headed to An Qingxu’s secret chamber. Inside, Liu Luogu, the spy An Lushan had planted in Chang'an, was already waiting.

Along the way, Chen Fan and Xiao Ziyan chatted aimlessly. Gradually, they opened up and talked about everything under the sun. Having lived in the countryside for many years, Chen Fan spoke of the mountains and the people there, which kept Xiao Ziyan in fits of laughter.

Lying on a recliner, sipping a chilled drink, was a tremendous enjoyment, even if the temperature was a bit underwhelming.

Hearing Xiao Wanhong say this, Yang Lesheng felt a sense of relief for Su Hua. They always said Xiao Dongyang’s mother was a sensible person, and having met her a few times, it was indeed true.

On the road, Aunt Shuigen heard from somewhere that the production team was heading to the forest near Shuipu Village in Dongzhen to reclaim wasteland. They were short-handed and encouraged anyone in the village who could go to join. There would be food and drink provided, and they would be paid—the exact amount was unclear, but it was said to be no less than eighty cents a day, though it was a bit far.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Hui’s hanging hands clenched into fists so hard that the wounds on the back of his hands burst open. Blood dripped down his knuckles, yet he remained completely indifferent.

After speaking, Yuan Lang raised an arm, gesturing gentlemanly for Ou Yousong to leave, and warned him never to return.

Hearing this, Zhu Dali couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, and he couldn't stop himself from looking at Xu Linlin. Was it really so? Would she really leave?

In the past, I didn't think of him as aloof, but at this moment, I felt he was far nobler than I.

Meng Xiang held her lower back, wincing in pain from the spot that had been bumped in the taxi, now aggravated by Ou Yousong’s shaking.

When I woke up, only the fading red of the sunset shone through the window, indicating I had slept through the entire afternoon.

"Now, Mr. Zheng, please come with us to assist in our investigation," Zhang Haojun said, staring at him sternly.

At that moment, the world was shaken. The dazzling radiance forced Murong Qiao'er to squint, and the powerful air currents tore through the heavens and earth. The force of the shattering void swallowed the blood-shadow, and no one knew exactly what had transpired in that instant.

Xia Yongning lowered her gaze, her thoughts in turmoil. She didn't know how she should react upon seeing the Lin family. Perhaps treating them as strangers would be better, even if she couldn't guarantee that her emotions wouldn't fluctuate when the time came.
