Chapter 2: Furious
Their probing gaze was entirely unconcealed.
Su Tang looked over.
Beneath the shade of the trees, the registrar stroked his beard and nodded at her. Su Tang responded with a modest, gentle smile.
Just then, a yamen runner came to report to the registrar. As he listened, his expression gradually turned cold.
On the other side of the woods, a few of those who had fled earlier were recaptured.
Su Tang let the carriage curtain fall, turning away.
Outside, she could hear the commotion as the registrar announced he would bring them back to the county office for questioning, as a precaution.
At that moment, I gathered the ghostly energy within me, steadying my exhausted body while I searched relentlessly for the trail that Zhuma had left behind.
Watching Su Yunyun writhing in pain and agony after being splashed with acid, he trembled all over, a mixture of anger, fury, and fear.
When Lan Fei spoke, I felt a strange pang in my heart—it almost sounded like the exchange between a husband and wife. After finishing, she seemed to realize this as well, quickly bowing her head to continue filling out the form.
After speaking, Xiao Heng went into the bedroom, took two pieces of clothing from the wardrobe, and began unbuttoning his suit.
Yet before long, the look of disappointment in Si Lüheng’s eyes disappeared, replaced by a more complicated emotion.
If not for the need to diffuse the awkward atmosphere today, Jim would never have thought to ask He Niannian to fetch the newspaper.
When we arrived at the restaurant, I realized it was another upscale place. Lan Fei and Ye Shanshan, with their backgrounds, likely only knew places of this caliber. Upon entering, Lan Fei reserved a private room, ordering a table full of dishes and two cases of beer.
Yangyang also cooperated with Mother Su, letting herself be picked up obediently, sweetly coaxing the elders.
Given Gao Yu’s character, he would never be content with simply a high salary. There were probably other conditions as well.
In a way, it wasn’t all bad—at least the matter of the child could be considered a good thing. And it allowed her and Yixi to be frank with each other a bit earlier.
That sudden kiss came like a violent storm, catching me completely off guard. The sweetness lingered as our tongues entwined. My mind went blank; I simply closed my eyes and surrendered, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. I forgot to think, didn’t want to think, only wanted to hold him tighter and tighter.
The back-and-forth between the two eased the tense atmosphere in the conference room. At that moment, Su Zhizhan turned her head, noticing the empty seat beside her.
The third time, Gu Cheng walked in front, Jill in the middle, and Karen at the rear. They stopped when they heard the sound of zombie dogs running. Both Karen and Gu Cheng were pounced upon; Gu Cheng was lost.
Li Ying remained rather quiet, her mind filled with thoughts of brothers, sisters-in-law, and all those familial titles.
The dinner following the banquet was firmly declined by Gao Zheng. Jiang Longcang had been sent out by the "Dragon Hall" for errands these days, leaving no one to look after the teahouse and noodle shop, and Gao Zheng was truly uneasy.
In life, some lose their way out of unwillingness to part, their eyes fixed on distant, unrealistic dreams, blind to the happiness right before them.
Song Churan stepped out with her phone, head down as she messaged in the elevator. This time, she had arranged for quite a few big names to attend, determined to give her cousin a taste of the real world, to make him feel inferior—and more importantly, to show her mother what a true gentleman looks like.
Dad and Mom greeted Wang Min, Bai Jie, Chen Hang, and the others with smiles. Everyone tiptoed to find a seat, waiting quietly for Yang Yi and me to wake up.
It wasn’t just the Primordial Lord and the Lord of Reincarnation; at that moment, throughout the infinite universes and all of time, every being who had achieved immortality sensed the birth of that new immortal thought.
A streamer from an educational channel actually reached number one in popularity across the whole platform—truly unbelievable.
Qingsheng’s leadership had pushed him to new heights, but in Li Hui’s eyes, that wasn’t enough. He had to become a hero—the only hero! This could not be achieved overnight; it would require waiting for the perfect opportunity.
