Volume 1, Chapter 135: The Swindler

Seeing her eat the food, the aunt’s expression softened.

"By the way, aunt, is there anywhere around here where I could rest? I'm truly exhausted."

Seeing her state, the aunt pulled Su Ningxia along and said, "Come with me. My house is nearby; you can rest there."

After learning of Yun Bing’s situation, Nangong Zhao’an breathed a slight sigh of relief. As long as she was safe, that was all that mattered.

Silence returned once he finished speaking. Since they were in the suburbs on a damp, chilly southern night, he decided to call Wei Min. To his surprise, however, Wei Min’s phone was turned off.

Xiao Jingqing told her not to overthink it. If there were anything wrong, she would say so; it was likely just poor sleep, which was normal and would pass in a few days. Nurse Zhao sighed, wondering what would happen if it didn’t improve—they would have to see an imperial physician. She didn't want the Princess to be unwell, but if it was just poor sleep, there shouldn't be any major issues. She finally set her mind at ease.

Yun Shan, having long heard of the Emperor’s movements, peered into the mirror several times before asking Qing'er beside her with lingering anxiety.

Many people looked over, and Lin Yan noticed it too. The person who had been kicked away simply vanished; it seemed there really was a tunnel there.

"So that's how it is. Chief Feng, I apologize for my earlier ignorance." Tang Shaoyan cupped his hands in a salute. Anyone who could be close to Old Tan must be upright and honest, and given that this Chief Feng’s mannerisms exuded such authority, he felt a deep sense of respect.

A plain, ordinary name at first left the audience stunned, but soon, they all began to sense the deeper meaning behind it.

Fearing the bumps of the journey, he had prepared a carriage that looked ordinary on the outside but was lined entirely with wool on the inside, making it extremely comfortable for both sitting and lying down.

The Old Man of the Moon parted his lips, feeling a pang of sympathy, yet he knew that if the man stayed here to be gossiped about by other immortals, it would only be more painful. Thus, he silently carried the gift box back to the stone table.

Because that region enjoyed a high degree of autonomy, the planet where the AU Federation was located had been carved up by leaders of dozens of different parties, creating severe difficulties for precise strikes.

"Nothing. Brother Flying Eagle, don't you trust my skills?" No sooner had Brother Pheasant finished speaking than several beams of light shone in, instantly illuminating a section of the factory as bright as day.

There were three main reasons for choosing Liu Donghai: first, he lacked a powerful backing and was easy to win over; second, Liu Donghai’s abilities were quite decent, or Wang Zhonghua would have removed him long ago; third, Liu Donghai himself needed an ally, and when Zhong Nan met with him previously, he had subtly hinted at a desire to defect.

Following this, Chen Lin ordered Chen Can, Ji Jin, and others to lead their troops and close in on the Japanese forces. The Japanese, having successfully rescued Kato Kiyomasa, fought while retreating. Little did they know that Liu Ting had been lying in wait for the Kato legion as they fled to the shore. After a fierce battle, a large number of Japanese soldiers were burned or drowned.

Dr. Hao heard what Steward Jin said clearly, but he found it impossible to believe what he had just heard.

Yin Su, believing that the glitz of the entertainment industry had clouded Yin Yi’s eyes and worn down her fighting spirit, spoke with sarcasm.

The closer Yin Yi and Sun Yuhan became, the more tormented Qu Xiaoxiao grew. Jealousy devoured her heart like a monster, leaving her consumed by disappointment and hatred.

In the decade that followed, Deng Zilong experienced being stripped of his rank and imprisoned, redeeming himself through service, being restored to his position, and being dismissed again. He had transformed from a passionate youth into an old man.

In an instant, Feng Bufan’s mood plummeted from the heights of a rollercoaster to the very bottom of the valley.

He wasn't worried that the battleship would sacrifice Sigufafu to attack at this moment; if they were to do that, he could react in an instant.

As for Inspector Nakamori, he and Kaitou Kid were old rivals, having clashed for at least eight years. During one of his heists, Kaitou Kid had suddenly vanished without a trace, only to reappear a few years ago.
