Chapter 49: The Damn Rich!
Xu Jinyu stared intently at Qin Yueyan, his gaze filled with scrutiny and inquiry, while she, in turn, quietly observed him without revealing any emotion.
However, she found it more convenient to use the identification technique.
[Character Information]
Name: Xu Jinyu
Background: Current head of the Xu Group, an external agent of the Special Management Bureau
Realm: Ancient Martial Innate Stage (became a martial artist through a rare opportunity; currently stalled at the Innate Stage due to internal injuries)
Assessment: You strike
Dugu Bo nodded in agreement. As a poison master, casually collecting venom was normal. After all, in the original story, when Dugu Bo prepared to attack Tang San, he first thought of forcing out the venom from the Eight Spider Spears before making his move.
The one who rushed forward met a tragic fate, crashing headfirst into the stiff chair back with a loud thud.
Looking around, it became clear what had happened. This man was likely the elder brother of the two children, bearing a slight resemblance to them.

Ming Zhuo’s expression changed abruptly as he rushed past the pile of corpses, opened the inner door, then burst through the broken second door, where he found Gu Xu.
The couple, protecting their treasure dearly, ascended the stairs hand in hand. Chu Yunting quietly handed a tissue to his mother.
Upon seeing a spider-shaped tumor clinging to the beauty mark on Huajingyuan’s forehead, the Two Qiaos’ faces displayed the expected expressions.
Qin Nian’an imitated Chi Huairong’s previously arrogant posture, hanging the sword above his head, flicking it up lightly several times.
Seeing Gu’s father so biased in favor of Cheng Xueping, Gu Meng was deeply disappointed. He showed indifference towards her; did he also not care about Gu Beichen?
Only then did Qin Nian’an realize that the place before her was a desolate wilderness. When she had been boasting earlier, she had thought the scenery was quite nice—a fitting place to express lofty ambitions.
She raised the bamboo flute with one hand, letting the notes flow forth, striking straight to the brows of the black-clad pursuers.
Madam Bai was also a thousand-year-old fox spirit, long since refined into a cunning being. Upon seeing Yin Liuli’s condition, there was nothing left to misunderstand.
Liu Xin shook her head vehemently: “Buzhai is both foolish and unlucky. If his forces were at a disadvantage, personally leading the battle could boost morale and possibly turn the tide for a great victory. But risking battle while having the upper hand in forces—that's simply not smart."
He laughed uncontrollably, holding her tightly in his arms, clutching her firmly. After a long while, she finally quieted down, her hands obediently resting behind him, face buried in his chest, motionless.

Only after saying these words did Yang Lin remember why she had come out. She hurriedly grabbed her phone and headed for the door but was stopped by Mu Zheng’ang.
In the provincial war, the inspector would certainly serve as the supervising officer—there was no other option. But that was theory. In reality, with the current influence of provincial inspectors, if they ordered troop movements, generals and deputy commanders would hardly dare disobey. Whether it was evaluations of merit and fault or appraisals, the inspector’s judgment held more weight than even the provincial governor’s.
Examining closely, the folding fan’s ribs were a deep black, utterly devoid of luster—neither metallic nor non-metallic. It seemed to be made of some rare material.
Liuli, emboldened by unknown reasons, made Su Liruo feel amused. To plead blindly without knowing the facts—was she not afraid of being implicated?
Although Yang Lin showed childishness in many ways, they were truly unaware she was not yet an adult.
Yet he did not wish to delve into the origins of these feelings. In this world, some things simply defy rational explanation.
Su Liruo lowered her head in disappointment, secretly cursing Shangguan Jin. Were she not utterly exhausted now, she would have immediately jumped out of his embrace.
You Renwen spent a full ninety minutes recounting everything—from returning home from work to finding Jiang Yinyin’s suicide attempt, carrying her out of the tea house, and all the interactions with Feng Xinqi.
