Volume 1, Chapter 34: Meeting Lin Hanchuan Again
Sang Haining did not want to dwell any longer on the fact that she and Rong Shaoqin were about to divorce. Since the decision had been made, she resolved to shift her focus from her domestic life to her career. Shen Chuyi briefed her on the latest developments within the company.
Looking at the glass of fruit tea, Bai Xi felt conflicted. Should she drink it herself, or give it to the master?
"Mr. Rui, it is easy to catch a cold by the sea at night. Let’s head back to the hotel." She looked at the man lost in thought before her. He had noble, curly hair and a youthful face, yet his eyes—at times resolute, at times melancholy—were now filled with an indescribable sense of guilt.
Ma Shiyao knew that something had changed within the city. Lacking the time to intercept the remaining Qing troops inside Wangyun Tower, he summoned a few personal guards who were less severely poisoned and ordered them to hurry to his barracks to mobilize troops and organize the city's defenses.
Before she could think much more, her phone rang again—this time, it was a call.
Through tireless speeches and broadcasts, the image of the constitution had been firmly established in the minds of the people wherever the Rabbit's influence reached.
The same green lanterns, the same counter, the same wooden doors, the four steps leading up, and the bench outside the infirmary—the only difference was that in reality, Ya Shi was not sitting on that bench.
"Heh, plenty of people claim to know Xu Qi'an! Just because of that, you’re backing down? Has the He family actually produced any evidence?" The steward was, as expected of one of Qiu Ke’s men, far more meticulous than Yuan Ziwen or the elder of the Liao family.
Although it was expected, he could not help but feel a twinge of disappointment. "Let’s go, to the next nest," Lin Yi signaled the others to continue toward the next target.
Yang Yuan intended to recruit these individuals into the Shadow Dragons, which would make maintaining order across the Nine Provinces much easier. After all, it would be a waste of resources to have robots handle every single task for the time being.
Lin Gui looked over; Lin Dong was full of vigor, and Lin Gui could sense that his strength had already reached the level of a Two-Star Martial Spirit.
Even though his old classmate did not recognize him, Chao Zhi remained loyal to their friendship and bought one of everything. Even if his old classmate was scamming him, Chao Zhi accepted it; he considered it a final payment for the bond they once shared.
"Sister Yu, don't be afraid when the police arrive later. You’re just going to assist with the investigation. Mengmeng and I will be there with you," Yang Yuan whispered to Shen Yu as he noticed the time.
He knew that capturing Zuo Zi Zhangba would make their victory appear more significant, but Zuo Zi Zhangba had no troops under his command—he was merely a martial artist and no longer posed a threat to him.
Yu Yuezhong understood that one must be strong to forge iron. Given the current state of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the fact that Qin Guan and the others were willing to come and help was enough to make the sect members deeply grateful. After all, not everyone possessed the selfless spirit to offer aid at a time like this.
The next moment, without a second's hesitation, Lin Gui fully channeled the power of his Phoenix bloodline.
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Qin Cheng felt deeply annoyed and decided to turn the situation around! Damn it, if anything, I should be the one taking you, not the other way around!
Qing Jing reached out to take the pill formula and examined it, his brow furrowing. It wasn't that he couldn't understand the recipe, but the number of medicinal herbs listed was small, which did not align with the quantity of herbs he recalled being necessary for treating such severe injuries.
As she spoke, Liu Shiwen suddenly lunged forward. Simultaneously, her feet moved in rapid succession, landing twelve kicks toward Lin Gui in a single instant.
