Volume 1, Chapter 27: The Enigmatic Melody, Truth Slowly Unveiled

"Do you really want someone who isn't clean to be your daddy? Is Uncle Xiang not clean?" Qin Meinan asked in disbelief.

Having sent the Fire Wolf team reeling yesterday, the spectacle had shocked everyone present; Li Xiancheng probably hadn't slept a wink all night.

The greatest tragedy for a soldier is to be led by a commander obsessed with politics. Helios might be a calculating leader, but he was never destined to be a competent general.

There was talk of Qiaqia sunflower seeds, but since production was already underway, Wu Bin ultimately switched to the Golden Dove brand.

Add to that the principalities that had defected and the delegation of honorary members specially invited by the Aojia Empire, and the total number of god-tier powerhouses across the entire empire reached nearly twenty.

Half a month later, while overseeing the installation of steam engines at the Changluo command center, Zheng Peng heard news that left him stunned: Xu Sanko, who had been escorting supplies, reported that Li Linfu was in trouble—or more accurately, Li Linfu’s son, Li E, had gotten into trouble, and because of his poor upbringing, Li Linfu had been implicated as well.

Yue Li’s eyes were filled with regret and despair. She slowly crouched down, helplessly burying her head in her arms like a child, her expression hidden from view.

"That's enough, you may leave. Let me have some peace and quiet!" Li Zongren commanded. The adjutant, hearing this, had no choice but to walk out and relay the orders.

They weren't willing to spend the money, but Wu Bin was. Since Chef Tyrant had brought in a profit of over two hundred thousand this time, why not reinvest it and do things right?

Old Madam Yang refused to acknowledge her age. In her presence, the maids called her "Madam." Behind her back, to avoid confusion with the Lady of Zheng, they referred to her as "Old Madam."

"Shall we all head out then?" Seeing that Wen Xu didn't respond and was about to leave, Wen Guanghong immediately struck while the iron was hot.

Just as she was about to ask, a slender figure stepped out from behind Xue'er and flashed a triumphant, provocative smile at him.

It wasn't just Wen Xu who found it amusing; at the surrounding tables, people kept glancing over, covering their mouths to stifle their laughter.

"It’s just for good luck. Besides, our family isn't going to make it big in this lifetime anyway," Wen Xu said with a laugh.

Li Ying finished speaking with a complex expression, as if she herself found the entanglement too incredible to believe.

However, because the plan hadn't been finalized, and Zhang Yun hadn't yet arranged for his family members to leave Hainan to take up posts in the eight southern provinces, he had no opportunity to leave.

Yet, these gifts held no reference value. Ning Yi had given them to Taeyeon before they officially established their relationship; as gifts between friends, they carried no special meaning and were of no significance.

Rogers’ gaze swept past the soldiers, seeing others in the same uniform pulling up caution tape and shooting at every piece of electronic equipment they could see.

Controlling and maintaining such a massive flow of sand consumed a terrifying amount of sage chakra, especially since Zhang Lan was outputting an extra-large amount of energy to ensure Tang couldn't escape.

But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he felt a start. He realized he was overthinking and immediately put down the intelligence report, refusing to look at it any further.

Luo Yuanyuan said confidently, "No need, I trust in your company's strength! By the way, here is the contract. See if there is anything that needs changing." As she spoke, she pulled a printed contract from her bag.

Zhang Yang gave a few brief instructions to Royal Salute before flying off toward the border between the High Kingdom and the Li Kingdom.

Qin Tianqi didn't know where this power came from, but he thrust his body forward, closed in on the Insect Emperor, and slashed his blade fiercely toward the creature's head.

However, one could see from her eyes that she was weeping bitterly, revealing a sorrow she had never shown before.

If it weren't for the recent reports in major media outlets, Lin Feng wouldn't have remembered the Dream Dragon and Fengxing companies.

At that moment, He Chen was filled with questions and deep anxiety. He had no idea where Ding Li and the others had gone; even the residence seemed to have been seized, and their lives hung in the balance—how could he not be anxious? Just as he was about to rush into the Yin mansion to see what was happening, the voice of the Ancient Soul suddenly echoed in his mind.

In his previous life, Lin Feng, as a staff member for a CCTV advertising subsidiary, would sit far away in the audience at the annual CCTV ad bidding conference, watching him give speeches.

In the finance department, Li Mengyuan was flying all over the world, negotiating with overseas institutions to issue bonds for Fengxing.

Sheng Shi frowned at Gu Cheng’s actions, though Ji Liunian’s expression only shifted slightly upon seeing him.

Sheng Shi’s thighs were as hard as the muscles on his body, making it uncomfortable to sit, and at such close range, she could fully feel his fresh, masculine scent enveloping her—it was far too aggressive.

Ling Jiajia shook her head, trying not to think about what happened last night, and hurried to wash up for work.

It was this sound that startled Jynx, who had gotten up in the middle of the night to use the restroom. Thinking a thief had broken in, she headed toward Lin Xiao’s room, intending to see what was going on.

Filled with curiosity, Nanami wanted to ask more, but the match was continuing, and fearing Professor Oak, she had to suppress her curiosity and wait for another chance to ask.

He was also dead drunk; otherwise, he never would have said those things. Kai Sa was a bit surprised. Why weren't his bodyguards nearby? Was the hotel too secluded? Was all the security stationed outside?

Qi Bingbing nodded, curled her index finger, and let out a long whistle. Immediately, a white steed came galloping toward her.

"What’s so interesting about me? Reality shows aren't completely devoid of scripts; post-production editing is where the real work happens," Du Ziwen reflexively wanted to decline.

Just then, Lin Xiao suddenly noticed that someone at the table seemed to be missing. But who exactly? He couldn't quite recall. Yet, it seemed as if no one was missing either. Lin Xiao shook his head. Am I just too tired lately? Am I losing track of things? But there always seemed to be something that felt slightly off.

Sectioyuo created an opening in space and shot immediately, but unfortunately, the angle was too centered, and he failed to break through Aertz’s defense.

In this place, even cars worth over a million were no different from bicycles.

"Everyone has worked hard during this period. Once I refine the Azure Dragon blood into super pills, I’ll give each of you one to enjoy. But let’s be clear: from now on, you must serve me and remain loyal, or you won't get a thing!" Lin Xiaofan made himself perfectly clear this time.
