Volume One, Chapter 38: Third Brother Falls into the Water

Su Tingxue didn’t care about any of it. Those people were simply sour grapes, unable to understand her joy. As long as she could be with Fu Zhilin, let them envy her! Besides, she had her duties in the army now.

Yu Miao’s cheeks flushed crimson; she stood upright, saluted with proper form, and bowed her head, her eyelashes lowered. The rosy hue on her face was clear under the lamplight.

The restaurant specialized in Chinese cuisine. At this hour, few people were dining; in the spacious and spotless hall, only one or two tables were occupied.

“Continue,” He said handsomely. A child of six or seven, and already so cunning.

“Reporting, Master, Bai Piaopiao has everything ready. With the tree demon’s help, they are well fortified, both offensively and defensively!” the large parrot replied.

“No, this trip still carries significant risks. You cannot take such a chance,” Wang Hao refused.

When I broke through the roof of the main hall, the last sound that reached my ears was a crystalline, ringing clash, as clear as precious gems colliding.

She had thought she would capture Wen Xian tonight without fail, but unexpectedly, the roles of hunter and prey had completely reversed.

“Yes! He’s been following us for a long time, but never mind, let’s keep shopping.” Man Xue’er nodded, then continued browsing without concern for the person trailing them.

After a brief examination, Roddy frowned slightly. He finally determined that Sally’s shoulder was dislocated, but fortunately, there were no broken ribs or any other fractures.

Li Zhiyang spoke ambiguously, mentioning only Chrysler, without revealing what exactly he had smuggled out from Chrysler.

Jin Zhongting, indeed a man of action, after roughly understanding Shen Juncheng’s situation, began coordinating with the hospital about the transfer. Within two phone calls, the transfer and the coveted, nearly impossible-to-get Guangbo ward were arranged.

Ning Guzhou knew that Qi Jianlan’s visit today was a sign of something significant—a dangerous signal, in fact.

Without waiting for Yun Shao’s reply, she swung her whip, aiming to strike her face. Li Nian used all her strength; if the blow landed, it would surely tear Yun Shao’s skin apart and ruin her beauty.

When Shen Qianyan opened her eyes, Jin Zhongting was already awake and watching her. Their gazes met, her face burning with embarrassment; the change in their relationship made her shy for a moment.

Jiang Xiang, seeing the situation before him, didn’t hesitate for an instant and immediately ordered his shadow guards to seize the boat.

“No matter how you look at it, it’s strange. If they wanted revenge, why not come straight for me?” The one who had embarrassed the prestigious Kingsfort family was Liuxing. If the order to assassinate was aimed at Liuxing instead of the dean, they could have taken revenge on both Liuxing and Charles simultaneously.

Wen Heng’s shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and Sheng Huai burst out laughing, thinking Yan-ge would make it through to the end.

Nor would he deliberately trip up Ortolun or show him a sour face because of what just happened.

His actions immediately enraged the other two companions of the customer. One of them drew a pistol to retaliate, but the boss, apparently accustomed to such situations, fired another shot, sending the man flying two or three meters and crashing to the floor.

Inside and out, this was a situation where both sides were evenly matched—the best way to break through ironclad defenses.

Over the next two days, Qin Qiao and Xiao Beiqi had settled most of their affairs and were left with leisure time. Qin Qiao even arranged to meet Gongsun Wuying at the prince’s residence and entrusted Qin Zheng to his care, asking him to look after her.
