Chapter 111: The Pregnant Yellow Dog
A biting chill emanated from this place, making my heart feel increasingly heavy.
"We can discuss the property matters slowly, but if you don't resolve what's here quickly, you are certain to die."
I let out a long sigh; it was fortunate the lady had no children, otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
After a long silence, my two partners finally appeared at the entrance of the Lin family mansion.
...
While Chen Bailong rambled on incessantly in front, Charlie Cao’s gaze remained fixed only on that dark, sweat-slicked neck.
"This is your home turf, Inspector WPC, I'm just giving you more screen time," Lin Xucheng said with a dismissive wave. Kang Xinggui, who was standing right behind him, let out an "Ouch!" as he was splashed with a face full of water.
"What a dazzling person!" Zhan Kai Tu watched the person stepping over the threshold and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
With tempers already flaring, they naturally refused to yield once the argument started, and eventually, Cui Shengkun lost his cool and laid hands on Gu Shiqi.
The official who had his flowerpot snatched away in silence: Fortunately, he had the foresight to harden his heart and buy two yesterday; he still had one left at home.
"What’s this scene about?" Li Qingyu asked with some confusion while eating. Only she and Heim were on set this morning; the other actors' scenes were scheduled for the afternoon, so they hadn't arrived yet.
The sun was now gradually slanting toward the west, and a figure was walking slowly toward them, silhouetted against the light.
The man in black guarding Master Tong lowered his head and stared at Ge San'er. Moments later, the five or six men around them all drew the blades at their waists, as if waiting for Ge San'er’s response to decide whether to execute him on the spot.
"One dares to snatch people from right under my nose, and another dares to mobilize troops using my name—they are becoming increasingly lawless!" Chen Xiang paced back and forth in a state of agitation.
Zhang Jing felt a bit awkward. In truth, she had already learned from Liu Wen why Wang Chenyu and Liu Wen had broken up, but she currently wanted to know if there was still a place for Liu Wen in Wang Chenyu’s heart.
"The intelligence is urgent and strictly confidential, so I must ask for your cooperation, Brother Liu," Liao Xian said with a smiling face. After all, how did the saying go? One shouldn't strike a smiling face.
Chen Jinhui craned his neck, clearly wanting to see what was going on, but to avoid inviting trouble upon himself, he ultimately chose to remain in his seat.
Father Xu pointed at Xu Jia’nan, trembling with rage. Fortunately, Mother Xu was there to hold him back; otherwise, it would surely have ended in a brutal beating.
Cai Zong grew somewhat angry and bitterly picked up a steamed corn bun, taking a bite. He immediately felt the taste was off, spat it out, and then turned to Wang Le.
If she recalled correctly, this Hall Chief Hu should have already passed; was there still some matter that required him to seek her out?
Beyond that, there were hundreds of other ingredients spread out before Long Aotian, making his scalp tingle. Should he just toss them all into a pot and stew them together? Surely it wouldn't kill anyone to eat it.
He claimed it was the official's idea and had nothing to do with him, taking the opportunity to paint a prettier picture for Guan Meixue.
But she did not know that a marriage without a foundation of affection is not so easy to safeguard.
"Sister Jiaqi, Shen Lei is a valuable contributor to the company. It is impossible for me to fire him, so please do not make things difficult for me," Lu Xia said sternly.
Looking at Yang Yu, and looking at the seven members of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy who no longer had their soul tools, everyone fell into a state of shock.
Wu Caiyun had already lost all her face by now. She felt that if she didn't do as Tang Xiaofu said, all her previous efforts would be wasted—wouldn't her humiliation have been for nothing?
Following a fierce battle, Chen Wangxin led nearly a thousand soldiers to successfully withdraw into the territory of Shan County. But before they could enter the city, Liu Zeqin arrived with over ten thousand troops. Without a word of explanation, Liu Zeqin ordered his soldiers to disarm Chen Wangxin’s unit. He then loudly proclaimed that Liu Konghe had defected to the rebels, and that Chen Wangxin had been sent under his orders to trick open the gates of Shan County.
