Chapter Twenty-Nine: What Should I Do?

"Yan'er!"

Lady Qiu was too late to stop her. She truly felt she had raised her daughter poorly; to put it kindly, the girl was naive, and to put it bluntly, she was a fool. Regardless of whether Xiao Chunyu knew about the situation, it was not something that should be brought up to her face. How was she supposed to answer that?

"Mother..." Seeing her mother's reproachful gaze, Qiu Yan felt both aggrieved and defiant. "It's the truth! The Wu family has gone too far!"

"Yan'er, that is enough of your insolence."

Nuan Yang had finally reunited with Qing'er. The two had long since analyzed the circumstances behind Qing'er being poisoned and knocked unconscious. Even now, having met up, they still could not fathom who would commit such a pointless and malicious act. If it had been that masked man, Bao Tian, would it not have been more straightforward to simply kill Qing'er?

Zhao Ba, wielding a long sword, kicked open the gates of the Luling Marquis's estate. He was met head-on by Zhao Bi. Zhao Ba knew well that the retainers under Zhao Kuo were no pushovers, so he had issued orders earlier: show no mercy to Zhao Kuo's retainers, but under no circumstances should any harm come to Zhao Kuo's family, as that would only prove counterproductive.

"Enough, shut it off." Luo Qi's expression was cold, his eyes brimming with killing intent. He rarely felt the urge to kill, but hearing those screams made his blood run cold with murderous intent.

Sometimes, the outcome of a battlefield hinges on such small margins—a dozen well-trained soldiers are all it takes to decide the victor.

She said this only to confirm whether she had lost her mind, as everyone she looked at seemed to share his eyes. If it were Mo Ming, he would surely find it strange that the Queen of Hailan had become her mother; if it were Shen Ke, he would not harbor such suspicions.

Beneath the mountain at the core of the range lay a staircase that seemed to stretch all the way to the peak. Its surface was blanketed in ice and snow, yet through the frost, one could glimpse the sturdy rock beneath—unhewn, ancient, and eternal.

"Boss, don't you know me by now? I'm a master-level eavesdropper. Is there anything on our turf that I don't know about?" Hearing Luo Qi's inquiry, Gao Ren puffed out his chest and boasted with a proud smirk.

Jiang Mu shook his fists at the stands and then cupped his hands over his ears, signaling that the applause was neither loud nor enthusiastic enough.

Why those powerful beings did not kill the Divine Nightmare—whether they were unable to or simply couldn't be bothered—was a mystery he could not track down. One's own chaos must be settled by one's own hands.

However, the security chief struggled when faced with two opponents who were a cut above him. He managed to hold his own at first, but as time dragged on, his strength began to wane.

Li Sujuan knew far more about Ma Kun's financial situation than Zhao Qiuyan or his ex-wife did. She knew that what Ma Kun had given Zhao Qiuyan was nearly half of his assets, and after the Bai family took him to the police station, he had been fined a substantial sum.

At the general meeting, Liu Ling was officially appointed Chairwoman of the Youhuang Group, with Liu Ruyan as Vice Chairwoman and General Manager, Leng Feng as Vice Chairman, and Yao Xia, Xu Qian, and Qin Xue also as Vice Chairwomen.

"I've finally waited for you, thank goodness I didn't give up!" Luan then began to sing, walked over to Sicheng, and as they shook hands, they pulled each other into an embrace.

Watching Ye Yuhan act like a child, Yan Luochen's eyes crinkled with a hint of a smile as he tucked a pillow behind her back where she leaned against the headboard.

"I know your Nakoruru is impressive, but mine won't be any worse. Just wait and see!" Lu Chen pulled out his phone, entered the game, invited Liu Yang to a 1v1 on the Mozi's Mechanism map, and selected Nakoruru.

An inexplicable restlessness stirred in his heart. Unlike the restlessness he had felt that night, this time, he had not been drugged with any aphrodisiac.

"Right, I've recovered from my injuries. You won't stop me from leaving now, will you?" Li Cheng asked, watching the reactions of the Tiangang Great Apes.

Meanwhile, Mo Qing stood upon the Tianxing Platform, watching Su Ye approach him step by step.
