Chapter 114: Departure

“Xie Yanzhi is quite renowned in the southern region.”
“He was composing poetry at seven, and by twelve, his paintings had made him famous in Jiankang. He was hailed as a master of both poetry and painting!”
The covert guard continued to give Wang Heng a detailed introduction to Xie Yanzhi.
At this point, the guard paused briefly and pulled out several sheets of paper from his robe.
“Nine, these are some of Xie Yanzhi’s poems.”
Holding the papers carefully with both hands, the guard presented them.
Bai Zhi, standing beside Wang Heng, didn’t need to be told; she swiftly approached the guard.
“I insist!” Ling Siyie raised an eyebrow, his expression playful and teasing as he enjoyed her anger, then suddenly tore the precious silk fabric from her clothing with one hand.
“I will do my utmost,” Steward Lin promised solemnly, scrutinizing the hairpin in his hand with a grave expression.
Fu Xuejiao forced herself to recall desperately. She had a vague premonition that a monumental secret hovered just at the edge of her memory, but it seemed forcibly blocked by something, refusing to surface no matter how hard she tried.

Li Xiao and He Siyu gazed into each other’s eyes with deep affection, then uncontrollably pressed their lips together, lost in passionate kissing.
Song Jiani carefully gathered the scattered photographs on the bed. She wanted to see—no matter how much Meng Yanxi loved Leyu Shan, if he saw these photos, could he still love her? Could they still be together?
She didn’t understand why, in such a short time, she had developed such intense feelings for him.
His sudden resignation took her by surprise; after so many years together, they knew each other well.
“Did you make all this?” Lei Yu asked with delight, looking at the colorful dishes before him.
The Honghe Glass Factory—the burial ground for Lin Zheng’s hundred brothers, the place where Li Xiao had nearly died carrying a gas cylinder to save Feng Qing.
Yet, when Chu Qiao smiled as she spoke, it was as if she had cast a stone into the lake of his heart, stirring ripples that spread outward. The slight upward curve of her lips might have gone unnoticed even by herself.
This was good news—it meant the few swindlers could not have fled to Canada, nor were the stolen funds likely transferred there.
Having residency rights did not equate to being a South African citizen. Two years ago, he had renewed his passport at the Chinese Consulate in Johannesburg; his household registration in China had not been canceled, meaning he was still Chinese.
“It’s necessary. Suspicion can exist, but so can cooperation. However, if suspicion dominates, we must be cautious. In future dealings with them, we must be vigilant,” Hu Bin said to Li Nian.

After integrating the skills of two thousand clones, this institute, composed of clones and androids, had become the highest-tech research facility within the NAC. Unlike the application-focused Shelter No. 27, the Lin Research Institute primarily pursued theoretical and cutting-edge scientific studies.
Thinking this, Joseph feigned nonchalance and calmly crouched down to pick up the keys on the ground.
At home, Atletico Madrid was about to fight desperately and overturn Borussia Dortmund, making history.
Her skin was smoother than theirs, her scent more exquisite. Her body’s proportions followed the golden ratio perfectly, each part harmoniously formed.
Sister Zhao, who was administering acupuncture to Qin Guan, remained unmoved. As Qin Guan turned to speak to the others, she swiftly inserted the needle.
Immediately, above Que Mountain’s Spirit Star, the sky turned azure and the divine sun blazed white, releasing an indescribable majestic aura that descended gently.
“Indeed, the paintings are magnificent. I’ve seen many exhibitions, but even the top artists don’t always reach this level!” Daisy remarked.
As for Zheng Wei’s side, it was uncertain—when the fight broke out, perhaps half of their people would flee. It was unpredictable because Gao Zijian and the others fought too fiercely. Especially Gao Zijian—he was no longer the obedient child he once was.
