Volume One, Chapter 102: He Xinyan Will Help Mo Xingyuan Gain More

After leaving the company, the colleagues were all talking about impending chaos, yet after several days, the company continued to operate smoothly.

Su Li was chatting with the receptionist when He Xinyan walked in from outside.

He Xinyan acted as if he didn’t recognize Su Li and spoke directly to the receptionist, "I have an appointment with your chairman."

"Lawyer He, right?" the receptionist asked.

"Yes."

Boss Chu muttered under his breath. Everything seemed intertwined and colliding in the shadows; only the final victor would savor the fruits of victory.

No matter which side it was, in this biting north wind and freezing cold, everyone needed something warm to eat. And to eat something warm, a fire had to be lit. Truly experienced troops knew how to keep their fires concealed.

"Jiajia, I just went upstairs hoping to find Brother Shijin for lunch, but he wasn’t there, so I thought I’d try my luck with you. Didn’t expect you to actually be here! Jiajia, please come have lunch with me!" Yu Jiaqi tugged on Lin Jiajia’s arm, her large, exquisite eyes filled with hopeful expectation.

Now, what Yu Xiu Bai said only deepened Tian Xin’s anticipation.

Standing next to Gu Xi, I could distinctly feel a chill emanating from him. Though his feet never stopped moving, his steps became singular and rhythmic. I realized that the coldness rising around us wasn’t from the darkness of the basement but from a sinister aura slowly enveloping us.

Having recognized our predicament, Han Zhenhan began to ponder how to escape this dire situation.

The dark night led her into a room, but Du Ruo suddenly felt hesitant to enter, her heart yearning to see Lu Wu immediately.

She had known Zhi Yaowei for years and always regarded him as an older brother. She often followed his advice; choosing to study finance was his suggestion, working at the hotel was his idea too. Despite his betrayal of marriage, in her heart, she still hoped he was someone she could trust.

“Creak, creak!” He twisted the door handle with all his might, but the door wouldn’t budge, as if it had been locked from the outside.

After we descended, it was pitch black inside, save for a faint glow near the entrance; the farther areas were shrouded in darkness. Yan Ruyi turned on the light, but as we advanced about twenty meters, we heard a crashing sound behind us. Turning back, we found the entrance we had just come through had collapsed and been sealed again.

General Lai Tian, witnessing the savage brutality of the Ancient Ape King, led his soldiers in a fierce barrage to slay him. Just as the moment seemed ripe, the Thunder Ape King appeared in flight to rescue the Ancient Ape King. They managed to free him and, to ensure his safety, took him back to Mount Kunlun where he met the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

Chen Qiuya gazed at Zhuang Jian. When Zhuang Jian had suddenly plunged from the pond, he keenly sensed that the intensity of his spiritual energy was several times greater than before, clearly indicating another breakthrough.

Surprisingly, upon hearing this, Xi’er did not become angry. Instead, she instinctively lowered her head, hiding her cheeks flushed like evening clouds, her eyes sparkling with light, and a shy, blossoming smile gracing her lips.

“Uh, haha, I think I’ve reached the fifth stage of body forging, just barely able to condense the energy flow, but I’m still not very skilled!” Zhuang Jian scratched his head and said, looking at Zi Ling.

However, after passing that place, Lin Peng lost all interest in sightseeing. He wandered aimlessly around the tower’s summit, looking about without purpose.

Xing Tianyu smiled faintly. He had no intention of revealing the truth immediately. If Tao Lesi lacked the qualifications to become the Nightmare Lord, then it would save him some trouble.

“How did we suddenly end up in such a spooky place?” Gaia looked down at the blue platform beneath his feet and muttered.
