Chapter 134: Harboring Resentment

The two men returned to the lobby, where Brother Hui signaled to Chick to bring over a bundle of a hundred thousand. Facing the crowded room, he shouted, "You lot always say I never gamble. Today, my younger brother is here to observe, so I’ve decided to try my luck as well."

While it was true that Brother Hui rarely sat at the tables after opening this gambling den, this public display was primarily a gesture of goodwill toward Jiang Fan.

Upon hearing that the boss was going to join the game himself, many of the gamblers cheered in approval. A local man, wearing flip-flops and sitting at the edge of a table, stood up and offered, "Boss Hui, take this seat."

Brother Hui did not stand on ceremony. He walked to the table and called out to one of his lackeys, who was standing on a stool outside the crowd to supervise the game, "Bring a chair over for Brother Fan."

White Tiger brought fifteen brothers with him. Having received word that Wasp was in trouble, he had rushed to provide reinforcements, only to arrive too late.

Once Sister Qing returned and finished cooking, Su Han kept making her laugh throughout the meal. After dinner, he was exceptionally thoughtful, insisting on doing the dishes.

Furthermore, since Auntie Fang did not want her son to rely too heavily on the Feng Group, the matter was left to fade away.

However, no matter how deeply Liu Feng concealed his true nature, I had to appear mindless in his presence. Only then would Liu Feng feel at ease with me and stop taking me seriously.

The moment the name of this young man—a figure who had sparked curiosity in so many hearts—surfaced, he instantly drew the attention of many. They were all eager to see just how far the young man's strength had progressed, and whether he was truly as terrifying as they had imagined.

Such a punch represented the absolute limit of human capability, reaching a pinnacle level. How could Gu Tianlai possibly withstand it?

I had my own plans for this. Once I stepped outside, I could just as well head straight to the outskirts of the village to purchase some daily necessities. I was running low on a few things anyway, and this could hardly be considered defying Liu Xuanzong’s orders.

At these words, the expression on Xi Yuchen’s face shifted abruptly. His eyes, previously filled with tenderness, became piercingly sharp. An oppressive aura radiated silently from him, sweeping away the agitation and gloom in the hospital room. He looked like a snow wolf standing on a high vantage point, waiting to pounce, ready to hunt its target at any moment.

In truth, Li Weidong knew that Hong Zhi’an was right, but he simply could not bear for his secrets to be exposed to others. The fact that Hong Zhi’an could ask such a question today meant that he had already played his hand too openly, to the point where Hong Zhi’an could deduce nearly everything from his actions.

The Afterlife was like a larger village. The members of the Inhuman race who had been brought here, along with those already living here, were the villagers. Everyone had houses, places to socialize, and fields. Aside from a small portion of daily supplies, they were largely self-sufficient.

"Therefore, I humbly submit to Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager that the drafting of the constitution and related laws be incorporated into the current primary agenda," Yuan Shikai said, watching the Emperor’s face for any sign of change.

"Ling Miao, tell me, should I kill you in front of Su Yuyang, or should I take you in front of him?" Tang Xuan asked, gazing at the flickering candlelight with keen interest.

Although Umbrella Corporation’s physics laboratory department was weak, this time, with the technical support of Red Spider, the company would be able to independently construct spacecraft. Perhaps Umbrella Corporation would soon have to establish a new subsidiary.

Ling Yang was confused about what was happening. While he was lost in thought, his shoulder was slapped hard. Turning around, he saw Luo Tu, who had snuck in at some point, smiling at him incessantly.

By the time Zhong Yueshi arrived, Su Yawen was just being wheeled out of the operating room. She was pale, unconscious, and covered in cold sweat.

"Rest assured, Auntie," Li Danruo said as she rose and curtsied solemnly. Lady Liang nodded, then turned and walked out of the room with her head bowed.

In truth, I was terrified that this suspicion might be real. Zheng Zihao had been acting so strangely over the past two days that it made me uneasy. He had never been like this before, yet the Zheng Zihao that Lin Yue spoke of seemed exactly as he had always been, without the slightest change. Her tone did not suggest she was lying to me, yet my heart remained unsettled.
