Chapter 48: Visiting Zhong Wanwan

Zhong Jialin had always been a fearless little spitfire—how could she be crying like this now?

She sobbed and gasped, her words coming out in broken fragments.

“My cousin… my cousin is about to be beaten to death!”

What?

Jiang Cha flung the basin from her hands, a surge of fury rising through her veins.

The one thing she could never tolerate was a woman being struck.

She stepped forward, wiping away Zhong Jialin’s tears gently, urging her.

“Don’t cry. Tell me what happened.”

Vera dressed herself in the latest outfit, glancing repeatedly in the mirror. So beautiful—this was the power of good clothes. Now she was more radiant than ever before: eating well, dressing well, and feeling better. After one last assured look at her flawless reflection, she stepped out.

Why would they treat me like this?

While Lin Yang kept a vigilant eye on the figure behind him, a clear, heartbroken voice echoed softly. Startled, he turned his head, but in the darkness, he couldn’t discern Han Yuxin’s expression. She remained dazed, then hesitantly asked, “Have you ever considered how your family feels?”

That doll was likely a medium for H’s abilities, but there was another possibility—that H was actually concealed within the doll itself. H’s powers were unpredictable, defying all conventional logic.

First, there was a gas explosion in a residential building downtown, killing an entire family with no evidence left at the scene.

He knew with absolute certainty that his mother could never have done such a thing, but she must have thought it, must have hated her. He didn’t want Lin Lan to suffer any more injustice.

Song Changming and Xu Baoshan were very different kinds of men. Having been immersed in the environment, he knew a lot. They turned a blind eye to shady dealings like reselling coal from Qishan, as long as the commune profited, there was no opposition.

What would it look like if the beautiful and noble Ye spread her legs? He realized how wicked his thoughts were. If Ye ever found out, she’d probably annihilate him on the spot—no trace left. No, he was fifty-fifty between righteousness and evil.

“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t leave until… September? Why so many days ahead of schedule?” Liang Wei asked.

Sitting cross-legged in the grass, Lin Yang took out two jade stones infused with spiritual energy, continuing to absorb and replenish his depleted reserves frantically.

Yang Shaozong spent three days organizing the labor point records from the past five years and calculating averages, then two more days drafting regulations and manuals.

At this hour, Xuanyuan Zhi had just finished his morning court session. It seemed no matter how ruthless a person was, once controlled by the Gu, they were reduced to nothing.

Lin Qingxuan’s heart was filled with joy, but when he glanced down at Xia Xue’er beneath him, he saw her trembling violently, her eyes rolling back, breath fainting.

Braided Pigtail and Twin Ponytails heard the noise and quickly shut their mouths, obediently retreating to the side.

Xiu Ye ignored him. “If you want to die, just sit there and freeze to death.” With that, he left.

“Yes, Ning Ke that wretched woman should have died long ago.” Chu Yuxuan sipped his tea, a cold and sinister smile curling at the corner of his lips.

The plan set, Yu Wuque quietly amplified his Divine Light and extended his rhino horn, then slowly thrust forward. Though the impact seemed weaker, the inner Divine Light far surpassed before, far beyond what Di Chongxiao could endure. A single strike would pierce straight through.

Shangguan Rongxi quickly covered her nose. Even though these two were her master and cousin, she couldn’t bear the foul, fishy stench.

The chaos at the gathering point ceased. Some survivors who hadn’t been discovered dared to hope, but by late night, robots arrived with handcuffs and chains, precisely locating their hiding places one by one.

“Learned something new, learned something new. The longer this drags on, the better for humanity. In the end, the world will still belong to humans!” The fat man read the words on the opposite wall and sighed. Most people obviously thought the same, smiles blossoming on their faces.
