Volume One, Chapter 85: My Wife

The forty billion he invested.
He had just been boasting about the fifty-two point eight billion in profits he was about to gain.
This was his greatest asset for inheriting the Lu Corporation in the future.
All his ambitions and schemes were shattered in that instant by the news, crushed utterly, turned to nothing.
It was more hopeless than any defeat in business competition.
This was destruction wrought by an irresistible force.
Chu Qiao handed the lab results to the doctor, sitting across from him. Tang Ning stood silently to the side, his gaze briefly sweeping over the report. Fine bangs veiled his sharp eyes; no one saw the fleeting glint of menace and violence in his gaze.
At the sound, Li Xuan turned immediately, disbelief flickering in his eyes, yet mixed with relief.
The Northern Sea Cliff lay at the farthest northern edge of the continent. Beyond the sea stretched icy mountains and snowy fields. The note pointed to a location amid those frozen wastes, where temperatures plummeted dozens of degrees below zero. If Ao Tian weren’t already at the late stage of tribulation, he might not have survived such cold.
“Sang Li, don’t make me repeat myself a third time. Come here. To my side.” The tone was as casual as when the two were alone, but Mu Yun’s expression was cold and sinister as he beckoned Sang Li over. The dangerous edge in his voice made Mu Yun seem eerily terrifying.
He had wanted to say, "This isn’t my job," but Su Lan’s meaningful glance reminded him of their previous agreement.
“First destroy Cold Moon, then slaughter Tianhong!” Li Xiao bit his words out, gritting his teeth as he uttered the eight syllables.
“Forcing you? Forcing you what?” Lei Xiaoxiao exhaled a plume of smoke and leaned in close to Tang Wushuang to ask.
Shu Chi glanced back and saw Xiang Nan still standing where he was, looking in her direction, as if predicting she would turn around. The corner of his lips curled in a half-smile.
However, everyone in the police station knew this troublemaker named Cheng Tao. If he didn’t stir up some trouble for the police every month, the officers would be calling out to the heavens for mercy.
After all, the first time he played Giant City, having no idea how to clear levels seventeen and nineteen, he fell right into that trap.
“Hey, Li, today I’ve already seen three different posts accusing you of not grabbing rebounds!” On the flight to Los Angeles, Abby smiled at Li Wu.
From her perspective, if those two hadn’t failed to help her at the crucial moment, she would have easily captured the infuriating man before her; instead, the situation had turned completely upside down.
The two major rivers flowing through Isotqin made water transport highly developed, creating a string of prosperous riverside cities. Yet there were still some differences between the two rivers.
Had he not spoken, it would have been better. At the words, the thin monk Yinxiang flew into a rage, jumping up to slap Jingren’s head soundly. Jingren bowed low, not daring to move or utter a word, enduring his master’s scolding. Nearby, Yinyue and others quickly pulled Yinxiang away.
On the stone platform, Yan Qingkong watched the young man flee on his bicycle and wore an expression of “just as expected.”
They eliminated all conventional engines, and the team installed an entirely new water engine in prototype number two.
Zhou Mo entered the game, took a deep breath, and reminded herself not to be distracted by the emotional exchanges between the other two, but to focus on the match.
“Luke, no need to come out to the arc anymore. Go deeper, to the spot where you can catch and shoot!” Before the baseline inbound pass, Li Wu instructed Luke.
