Gu Xingnian’s hand was still raised in midair, her fingertips tingling faintly.
Fu Beichen’s face had been knocked to one side. Only after several seconds did he slowly turn back, a red mark quickly blooming across his cheek.
He stared at her as though he no longer recognized her.
“Gu Xingnian, what the hell is wrong with you?”
Her chest heaved violently, and her eyes were red with fury.
“That Zhu Yongmei—was it you who had the Fu family’s legal team get her released?”
Her voice trembled with anger.
Fu Beichen frowned. The name sounded somewhat familiar.
Ke Xin had called that afternoon, sobbing that one of her maternal aunts had been arrested simply for offending Gu Xingnian and begging him to help. At the time, he had not given it much thought and had told Lin...

Her chest heaved violently, and her eyes were red with fury.
Shen Jiaxing was just as he had always been—brilliant, dazzling, and often wearing a captivating smile. Even leaning on a pair of crutches, he was so beautiful that no one could look away.
Those were the names Qin Wuji and she had chosen earlier. She was called Song Ruanruan, Qin Wuji was called Song Mianmian, and the eldest brother Jiang Fu had invented was called Song Dabai.
He looked nothing like a greenhouse artist. His physical condition seemed hardly inferior to Gu Jingxi’s. In the end, she had been too presumptuous.
Chi Heng had already given her a lead. All she needed to do now was properly investigate the matters concerning her father in the past.
Humanity had long since been worn away by money. Everyone understood the saying that money could make the devil turn a millstone, but how many people actually possessed money?
That alone was enough to stir the hearts of many among the younger generation, as well as some of the older generation watching at the time.
“Ha! Gu Wan, is something the matter?” Uncle Yang turned around, and the moment he saw Gu Wan, a smile spread across his face.
She knew Shen Jiaxing had not packed that set of sports jerseys into the sack. The box was now beneath the wooden board she was tapping.
This was the first time Jiang Fu had entered another dimension. She felt her body suddenly sink, and then her feet landed on soft ground and sank into it.
Of course, the King of Revolving Wheels did not yet know that Qin Yibai had completely taken control of the Immortal Realm and had, in reality, become its sovereign. Otherwise, he would never have believed himself capable of comparing with Qin Yibai.
Yet at precisely that moment, Lu Dongfang stopped in his tracks. His expression turned extremely grim, and his eyes fixed rigidly on the passage ahead.
And at precisely that moment, Alian moved a little closer to Tang Song and sniffed hard.
“Brother Yang, honestly, you’re truly incredible. You can even accomplish something like this!” Jiang Zuo gave Yang Tiezhen a thumbs-up. As he glanced at Helen beside him, his eyes were filled with envy.

Thus, Chen Jiujiu resolved not to join those streamers in their corruption, insisting on remaining a breath of fresh air in the livestreaming world.
Had they not become spirits of the dead, they would have turned to dust long, long ago.
To shorten the construction period as much as possible, Yang Tiezhen divided the entire road into four sections. Each section was assigned two teams, one working from either end toward the other, digging soil and burying drainage pipes simultaneously.
The latter’s courage and methods were just as they had been in those days—only more overbearing and more terrifying. Even the entire Central Ancient Domain could not help but marvel at them.
“She dared impersonate Li Ruolan in my territory. This matter must be investigated thoroughly,” Qiao Hanye said.
It was just like looking in a mirror. He was sick of seeing it, and he had foolishly hoped that his son would resemble Feng Lingye.
Seeing how indignant the fox looked, Gu Fengjin could not help sighing. He reached out and rescued it.
“Dongyang! It really is you. How could this be?” Qin Yu hurriedly rose, cradling that breathtakingly beautiful face in his hands, his eyes filled with tenderness. When their eyes met and they became lost in the moment, Qin Yu finally noticed that there were other people in the room. Dongyang, too, realized that Ai Ou and the others were there. Her pretty face instantly flushed scarlet, and she buried herself in his arms, afraid to raise her head.
A Biao stared at Xu Zidong in shock. For a moment, he began to wonder whether the faith he had once held without question had been nothing more than self-destruction.
“You’re quite something, Taishu Yiheng!” In a certain prince’s residence, a man flew into a rage after hearing his subordinate recount the rumors circulating outside. He sprang to his feet and vanished from the room.
