Chapter 39: Something Happened

Cao Xiangwen suddenly snatched up a wood-chopping axe and sprang from the ground, his body radiating murderous intent and his eyes burning with a deep, blood-red hue. However, he had barely taken two steps before a kick sent him sprawling back. Fu Qiqi looked down at him from above. "Kill whom? Haohao's father? And then what? Are you going to kill your own parents as well?"

"I..." Driven by a momentary surge of adrenaline, Cao Xiangwen instantly lost all momentum. Like a frost-stricken eggplant, he slumped onto the floor, silent and dejected.

"Qiao Xinglian, since you and A-Yan are already together, please handle your relationship with Sifeng Beiling immediately. I do not wish to see him heartbroken." She spoke these words with what little strength she had left; it was as if every syllable cracked her heart, and by the time she finished, her heart was shattered into pieces.

Qingwei smiled. "Great Lord Hydra, didn't you say before that if I defeated you, you would grant me one condition?"

Beigong Lingyu smiled sweetly, snuggling into the man's arms, intoxicated by the rich, masculine scent of his body.

Naturally, it is unlikely that the He Family Jade was jadeite, as most jade varieties produced in China are nephrite—such as the Hetian jade from Xinjiang—whereas jadeite is a hard jade. In fact, jadeite was not introduced to China until the early Qing Dynasty; therefore, in ancient texts, the term "jade" refers exclusively to nephrite and does not include jadeite.

Ye Hongling remained silent, raised her phone, and snapped a few photos with a click-click sound. Xu Feng's expression shifted violently; he rushed over, attempting to snatch her camera, but Gongsun Yu kicked him squarely in the stomach, sending him stumbling backward.

It was cold, ruthless, and focused solely on efficiency—and it was effective. Yet, realizing that the original purpose of this plan was to help Henry escape made it seem remarkably ridiculous and... terrifying.

No wonder Tinozo invested such vast capital; no wonder Tinozo was short on cash; no wonder Tinozo had to deal in anesthetics. Everything now had a logical explanation.

Therefore, Fang Zheng resisted the urge to sow the seeds. This matter could not be rushed; he had to wait patiently... at least until this storm had passed.

The Lich also gazed at Qingwei’s figure with a sense of bewilderment. Where on earth did this guy pop out from?

Liu Yanshi hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and patted Fang Qing on the shoulder in comfort. After sobbing for a while, Fang Qing finally spoke.

Fortunately, it seemed safe for the moment. The system informed Du Kai that the latest scan showed no anomalies within a three-kilometer radius.

Xia Liang was speechless. He finally understood why Zhu Ansheng had specifically brought cigarettes and a power bank.

If his father was right, then if Chu Yan could achieve another stellar result in this World Championship, he would surely catch the eye of those powerful figures, becoming someone even he would dare not provoke.

Zhang Tianyi thought of the theater and decided that on the next night of heavy rain, he would go to watch a play. During the performance, he would slip out from the backstage, sneak into the back door of the opium den, break the owner’s neck, steal all the money, hide it, and find an opportunity to pass it on to Zhao Ziliang and his men as military funds.

The demon suddenly raised its head, its six eyes darting about. Six crimson beams of light erupted once more, coalescing into a brilliant radiance that seemed to pierce the heavens, tearing through the gloomy firmament and leaving a dazzling afterimage in the air.

On the third night after Chief of Staff Qian was promoted to Colonel and Security Commander, he visited Zhang Tianyi’s home, where Zhang received him in his living room.

Meanwhile, the profound Big Dipper in the sky grew brighter. This scene startled many astrologers and practitioners of Taoism.

Even in her anger, Shi Feixuan was captivating, leaving Xu Qian staring at her transfixed.

Taking advantage of the time spent waiting for news, Ye Tian sat on a large rock to rest.

Liang Qingtian’s words struck like a thunderbolt, instantly leaving Li Shunfeng stunned. To be told never to visit the Liang family again—did that not mean he was being cast aside? Everything Li Shunfeng had done was to curry favor with the Liang family and his brother-in-law, yet this was the outcome he had met.
