Chapter 55

Long Xiao had no intention of hiding anything and recounted how he came to know Shi Hongda and Liu Mingchuan, though he conveniently omitted how he had managed to rake in a substantial amount of money for himself.

Once separated from Ye Mengrui, those business partners, or those who had been won over by her personal charisma, would likely terminate their cooperation with Future Technology at the very first opportunity.

Millions of miles away, Gao Zhenyang was also observing the situation through all of Old Sun's senses.

"I'm not living there right now anyway, so it doesn't matter if Wan lives there," Qin Hong said nonchalantly.

Zhen Fei currently held the title of Chief Physician and Associate Professor, but many of his disciples had already attained full professorships. Yet, Zhen Fei's capability remained extraordinarily powerful, commanding universal respect. Anyone searching for him online would surely find it hard to believe he was such a remarkably capable doctor.

French aircraft carrier technology might not be top-tier, but their nuclear submarine technology remained among the best in the world. Hearing that Long Xiao intended to make a purchase, the French immediately raised the issue of price, and realizing Long Xiao was firmly resolved to buy, they quoted a steep sum.

After eating and drinking for a good while, once the terror in their hearts had largely subsided, someone raised a glass, signaling everyone present to quiet down for a moment.

Wen Xiaoge did not have much cash on hand either; the vast majority of her investments still came from the Zhao currency Zhen Fei had given her previously, which she had exchanged with Princess Huanhua and then converted by selling gold and silver jewelry. Fundamentally speaking, all of this money belonged to Zhen Fei, as the Zhao currency had been provided by him.

He was well aware that Consort Xian and Empress Xia had always been on bad terms. For her to speak these words to him at a time like this, her underlying motives were evidently far from pure.

Mo Qingyang cherished her husband dearly, and naturally would not plead for unnecessary people. Everyone is selfish; tens of thousands of lives in this world cannot compare to a single loved one. It was simply human nature.

"Who's there?" He looked around alertly, but saw nothing. However, years of professional instinct told him that danger was lurking nearby, creeping closer step by step.

From outside, the sound of numerous police sirens suddenly echoed from far to near, as if they had already completely surrounded the vicinity.

"What video are you talking about?" Tian Mingjiu feigned ignorance as she asked the police officer who had just spoken.

Zhu Long swallowed the feather in one gulp. Just as I was about to see what my "eleventh brother" looked like, the prompt sister suddenly refreshed a row of flashing red warning notices.

She lifted her head and leaned against Ye Xuanli's chest, blinking her eyes to hold back the bitter tears threatening to fall.

Ordinarily, Ying Jiarong was a quiet and well-behaved person within her own palace, yet she had dared to discuss the intimate bedroom matters between Sheng Mingyue and the Emperor right inside Sheng Mingyue's palace. If caught and dragged off to the punishment room to be beaten to death with staves, no one else would have a single word to say in her defense.

Judging by Big Brother Dian Wei's words, this was simply due to He Bai's lack of practical combat experience. Given He Bai's talent, after a period of actual combat training, even Dian Wei himself wouldn't be able to defeat him in under a hundred moves.

Although the servants of the Lu family previously looked down on Lu Chengyuan on the surface, at most they would only give her cold looks behind her back or make things difficult in covert ways. Someone as lawless as Matriarch Ji was something she had encountered for the very first time.

However, helping Xia Yingying without absolute certainty might end up offending the Zhang and He families, and most importantly, it would provoke a behemoth like the Han family.

At this striking sound, everyone's attention shifted toward the distorted face nearby.

Before Jian Chen went into seclusion, he always acted with decisive speed. Almost no one in the entire Divine Fire Valley did not fear him, so his authority was exceptionally high.

Unfortunately, still no one called out another bid. His gaze swept over Box 37; ever since the auction of the Divine King Battle Armor began, Box 37 had not placed a single bid. Could it be because they had already bought that soul-defense shield?

"What a magnificent spiritual mountain range. Occupied by the Beast Taming Villa for so long, it has truly turned into a celestial vein of spiritual energy," the Heaven-Splitting Divine Beast remarked.

"No special treatment whatsoever, absolutely no special treatment!" Ding Jianyang said with a hearty laugh, as if he had just accomplished another immensely important feat.

Hearing Xiao Ran's question, a flash of resentment clearly crossed the young man's eyes, and then he helplessly explained everything.

Several eighth-rank powerhouses were only fit to act as gatekeepers at this moment—goodness, when had eighth-rank powerhouses become so utterly worthless?

"Hello?" No human voice was heard, only the maddening antique Western clock at home chiming incessantly.

The Heavenly Army's aura shifted once again. With a single step forward by Tian Jun, the rocks below shattered and floated upward, combining into a three-headed, six-armed giant.

The General Affairs Department was subdivided into several sections, such as the General Management Section—commonly referred to as Section One—Section Two, Section Three, and so on. After Qin Yang paid brief visits to each section to meet the section chiefs and deputy section chiefs, he returned to his office and immediately began acquainting himself with his duties.

His voice was very gentle. As he gazed at Harry, his eyes looked like moonlight spilling over the boy—not particularly warm, yet soothing enough to offer the boy a sliver of comfort.

Perhaps those targeted by Boyle or Arthur Capital were ultimately destined to meet the exact same end.

The Sun Clan—did such a clan truly exist? Her rebirth, and the jade pendant she held in her hand when she awoke from that rebirth—what was the story behind it? Was it connected to the Sun Clan?

The man naturally knew that these two individuals were difficult characters to deal with, but he had to manage them today at all costs. He must not let them meet Mr. Lang, otherwise, his fate would be that this time next year might well be the anniversary of his death.
