Chapter 32: Playing for Thrills

Zhao Baitong was absent-minded at work that afternoon; she made two mistakes while explaining key concepts to Chen Meimei.

Chen Meimei noticed something was amiss. "Mentor, are you alright?"

With a vacant gaze, Zhao Baitong put away the files. "Let's leave it at this for today. We'll cover the rest tomorrow."

Chen Meimei could tell she was in a foul mood...

"Alright, let's talk about something serious. How is the situation today?" Guan Chenji changed his tone and asked Gu Meng earnestly.

"No! Don't kill me!" Qian Da, seeing Zhang Yan charging at him, had long since lost his nerve. He hurriedly turned his horse around and fled for his life.

"Hmph! I think you're the one who needs to be careful! How could I, Zhang Fei, ever lose?" Zhang Fei snorted, speaking with disdain.

Upon hearing that he was Yue Yun, the waiter trembled with fear; only moments ago, he had been threatening the man, claiming he wouldn't be able to make it out of Luzhou City alive.

"Sister Meng, are you not going to speak? It seems our suspicions were correct after all!" Song Yuchen, fearless of death, added fuel to the fire.

It was for the best that Hong Lie did not travel with them; after all, there was that insufferable Zhang Caijun, and there was no telling what kind of trouble might ensue if he couldn't control himself.

"That is fine as well. First, understand Wanqing’s situation. I suspect it would be better for Wanqing to tell you these things herself than for me to do so," Jingyi nodded.

Xiahou Ce was startled. Today's dream felt different from the usual; the words she spoke were things she had never said before, and the place they arrived at was somewhere he had never been.

"Who am I?" Ye Tianyu chuckled, suddenly picking up a wine bottle from the table, turning around, and smashing it viciously and violently against Lin Zhidong’s head.

Ye Huan had grown up under the protection of her guardian, but now that the guardian was gone and Uncle Fang could no longer protect her, I knew deep down that she could run into trouble at any moment. Once that happened, I wouldn't have enough money to save her. She was my entire world now; as long as she was safe and sound, I would do anything.

Su Jing pressed his face against her skin, gently rubbing against her bodice, before taking the fabric into his mouth, his actions filled with endless allure. With a sudden flick of his toe, he caught the edge of the bed curtain, letting the thin fabric fall and shroud them, leaving the scene on the bed half-hidden and exquisitely seductive.

Looking at the behemoth before them, Feng Taixian and the others were filled with horror. The powerful, icy force raging around them chilled them to the bone, causing their internal energy to freeze rapidly. As their energy flow faltered, their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.

Now that Sister Cai had broken ties with the Four-Lian Gang and invited the Dragon King to cooperate in the West District, the Dragon King had reopened that food stall—not just for the money, but because he held a sentimental attachment to it.

Director Chen had originally intended to let the two of them just walk away together, but upon hearing Feng Yange’s words, he turned his gaze toward him.

The sudden display of self-sacrifice left Bian Hu with the feeling of "the words of a dying man are good," and he could not help but redden his eyes.

Although there were 300 tickets, there were actually only about fifty people; some who paid more would
