Volume 1, Chapter 25: The Main Road Blocked by the Wang Family
Lin Wanwan felt a surge of joy, knowing that her father now fully believed in her prophecy.
This demonic fox was undoubtedly immensely powerful, yet if it chose to stir up chaos rather than sequestering itself to cultivate in peace, it would never survive long enough to take human form.
However, with so many eyes upon him, he found it difficult to lose his temper, especially with Lu Wuxia watching him from the sidelines; even if he wanted to lash out, he could not.
"You... you also know about He Qiongtian's blood? Could it be... that you, like Lady Fengwu, are also well-versed in medicine?"
By the end of his sentence, he was in such agony that he could no longer speak. He pulled out a talisman, and a teleportation array instantly manifested beneath his feet.
In her desperation, she offered her father a suggestion: they would announce that anyone capable of investigating this matter would not only be handsomely rewarded but would also earn her admiration, to the point that she would willingly marry them.
"Jeremy, I have a task for you," Ike said, leaning back on the sofa as he looked at Jeremy.
As the dust on the ground settled, layers of lotus petals slowly unfurled, revealing Jian Yi standing in their midst.
"I have something important to report to you, Mr. Ike," Lyman said, his tone urgent.
"Very well, I shall go at once." No sooner had He Yingqin left Lu Yixuan's office than a knock sounded at the door.
"You are a myth. You are the true King of the World," Cameron whispered softly into Ike's ear.
"Right, you're so close with Tong En, you must know her new address, don't you? Could you tell me?" Lin Yinan asked, looking at her with naive, hopeful eyes.
What did Sheng Zeyan mean when he said he had forgotten something? Was he referring to her work as a contract photographer for the magazine?
Gao Kedong was nowhere to be seen, and Gao Haotian was also absent; logically, he should have arrived early on such an occasion.
"Since when did you two get so close?" Feng Yuanyuan asked, trying to keep her tone light, as if she were merely making casual conversation.
"Would you have some time to visit my mother? She really likes you," Gao Haotian said softly.
Since Tang Ning was the fourth male guest, he had no choice but to watch the three men before him perform. The sheer absurdity of those three guys refreshed his worldview time and again, though it would be improper to detail it here, lest he be suspected of gossiping behind their backs.
"Oh my, why didn't you give it to them yourself? Didn't you just go to see him? If they ask who sent it, what should I say?" the nurse asked in surprise.
As for storming off or throwing a tantrum, those were simply not ways to solve a problem. Even without mentioning Zhang Dawei, even a baby would know that crying and throwing fits are not solutions; they are the most ineffective methods of all.
"Actually, I don't like coffee; I dislike that bitter taste," Lin Hui's words pulled me back to the present just as the waiter brought over a cappuccino.
I locked myself in my room all day without eating; I had no appetite anyway. As the sky outside gradually darkened, I finally decided to go out for a walk.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs rubbed his head, unable to fathom how so many issues had suddenly erupted, but since the situation was already spiraling, he had to provide instructions immediately and hurriedly called the Military Commission to inquire.
Of the four thousand infantry, two thousand were his elite personal troops, equipped with various weapons. They were highly skilled, experienced in battle, and comprised mostly of cavalry, all mixed together in a motley force.
Lu Xuan’s approach was different; he cleared the insects directly from the perimeter. The rapid-fire cannons and heavy machine guns on the two armored vehicles opened fire simultaneously, creating an endless barrage of explosions.
