When Ao Yu released her, Long Jiu immediately blushed and ran back to the car. Without even looking back, she drove away, no longer saying anything about eliminating Ao Yu.
Yang Jian believed that after hearing what he had said, the three commanders might not necessarily come forward. They themselves might not fare any better, and they all understood that.
Ao Yu had casually pointed out the most urgent problem Lucifer and the others were facing. Indeed, if this issue remained unresolved, the destruction of the 120-million-strong Fallen Angel Legion would only be a matter of time. They could not afford not to give it serious consideration.
Tian Aiying was still shouting abuse outside without pause. At first, Qin Dawei had worried that her harsh insults would embarrass Shen Huai, but Shen Huai acted as though nothing had happened. The moment he entered the room, he began consulting Yang Lin about the development of the refining industry. Qin Dawei wondered whether Shen Huai might actually be testing Yang Lin.
There was one thing Qin Yao could be certain of: the heavy resentment permeating the surroundings proved that these people had all been victims.
The windows were firmly locked, and there were no bodies beneath them. None of the neighbors had ever seen the married couple leave the room.
Shen Huai thought that if he truly needed to investigate the matter, he should find someone to learn more about it when he had time, rather than summon people over immediately. The so-called “officials protecting one another and maintaining internal solidarity” was still necessary; otherwise, the town’s work would be difficult to carry out.
“Who... who are you, exactly?” Apuya retreated two steps and coughed up a mouthful of blood. Clutching the wound in his ribs, he asked with difficulty.
For ease of administration, a State-Owned Assets Management Office directly under the county government was established above the four major conglomerates to supervise and manage them, while also paving the way for the comprehensive restructuring of county-owned enterprises.
After fleeing in panic for nearly two hours, Zhou Feng finally reached the foot of a mountain. Looking up at the towering peak that rose sheer into the heavens, he realized that even the highest mountain behind the Zhou family estate paled far too greatly beside it.
What was strange was that Siyun kept looking at Cheng Mo and the unfamiliar young man with an eerie expression.
On the day he decided to spend Christmas with Bai Sihan, he went to the jewelry counter at the shopping mall. After looking around, he immediately took a liking to a platinum necklace.
He was far more vigilant than Lu Renjia. His gloomy eyes swept coldly over the surroundings, and he never dared let his guard down.

“My family?” He sneered. “And what of your heart? What of your energy affinity? What can you do for them?” With that, he took a large gulp of wine without a care.
On that day, the Duke of Dingguo—rumored to have fallen out of favor with the emperor and to have skipped court for several years on the pretext of illness—entered the palace gates early. After the morning court, he even held a private discussion with the emperor behind closed doors, leaving the palace only several hours later. Before those secretly watching him could discreetly make inquiries, an imperial edict announcing the dissolution of the marriage between the Heir of the Marquis of Anyi and his wife was delivered to the Marquis of Anyi’s residence.
Siyun, whose name had been called, turned around in bewilderment and discovered that everyone was looking at her with extremely peculiar expressions.
An Jing gave Lin Xue a thumbs-up. She had always known that Lin Xue was remarkable; memory and analysis were her greatest strengths.
Most of those eliminated had failed simply because they had not arrived in Luoshui early enough. Calculated according to the time difference, five months earlier, their series of measures had caused Luoshui’s popularity to soar. Not long after the construction of the Third Ring City was completed, preparations for the Fourth Ring City had already begun.
Just as Siyun’s heart began to tighten, the Star Spirit Butterfly suddenly shifted its gaze, fixing it directly on the emerald-green phantom standing on Siyun’s shoulder.
The moment the match began, Liu Xu sensed that something was wrong. Her opponent repeatedly attacked her waist with illegal moves, yet the referee acted as though blind, ignoring the fouls again and again.
Princess Huiying had still been furious, but when Yun Qian’s hand touched her cheek, her entire body began to tremble, and tears streamed down her face.
Therefore, he showed no mercy. He kicked the completely unguarded Cheng Lianyu to her knees. Covering herself, she curled up like a hunched-over shrimp.
How could he fail to understand? She had brought Mu Chen there in order to use his identity to pressure him. She wanted him to act as a witness and cancel the breach-of-contract dispute between the Liu and Shen families. To put it plainly, she wanted to join forces with Mu Chen to pressure the Shen family into voluntarily dissolving the engagement.
“Do you like him?” Xia Mengyou suddenly became serious. She lowered her head slightly and looked at her future self.
“Who are you?” Lin Yunheng asked irritably as she looked at the man before her, struggling at the same time to break free from his iron grip around her wrist.
“Uh, I... I’m not entirely sure either.” Ivan took a step backward, only to be blocked by Battleship Princess.

“So, in order to make room for us, you had no choice but to inconvenience yourself by sharing a room with him?” Andrea walked expressionlessly to stand in front of Ivan, blocking Iona’s view.
After all, Miracle One was famous, and every move it made could stir up waves in the outside world.
“Su Zizhan?” Mo Rukong frowned slightly. Of course he had heard the name Su Zizhan, but he had never expected to encounter him here. It could only be said that Mo Rukong had previously been far too cut off from news of the outside world.
The moment Lianxin spoke, the smiles vanished from everyone’s faces at once. They looked at her, seemingly sensing that she had something to say.
The one who knew witchcraft had begun walking toward me. They certainly had a tacit understanding; Jiang Liming had barely needed to say a word before he decided he wanted me dead.
“What exactly is the Zhimeng trigger that is least likely to be tampered with?” Rao Peier asked anxiously.
Ice Lotus snorted. She suddenly thrust both hands forward, and a blast of wind and snow surged toward the Ghost King and the man with the longbow. The Ghost King flew into a rage and roared. Sand and stones were instantly sent flying as a sinister wind shot straight toward Ice Lotus. With a wave of her hand, Ice Lotus caused a wall of snow to appear before her. The boulders and the sinister wind were both stopped outside it.
As the final strand of energy he could control ran violently out of control, the clarity that had just returned to Ye Qiu’s eyes quickly faded once more.
Thinking of how Mo Qianqian still misunderstood him, Han Jinfeng felt a dense, impenetrable helplessness rise in his heart again.
It turned out that there was a cave on the mountain, and inside the cave was a hot spring. Qin Yongqi gently lowered Yang Liuer into the spring to soak.
“Keep looking and see if I won’t dig your eyes out!” Yang Liuer hurriedly crossed her arms over her chest, unaware that her slender arms could not possibly conceal her fullness. The gesture only made her breasts heave even more dramatically.
