Volume One, Chapter 65: Sitting Beside Her, Accompanying Her Home

Mo Xingyuan heard the sound and turned around.

Su Li sat on the bed, meeting his gaze directly. She couldn’t fathom why he put on such an act, as though he were deeply in love. She climbed off the bed and went to wash up and change her clothes.

When she came out, Mo Xingyuan said, “I’ll go with you to the office.”

“What for?” Su Li picked up her laptop and bag, her tone cold.

Mo Xingyuan didn’t answer, but walked ahead of her, opening the door and looking back at her, making it clear he was going whether she wanted him to or not.

No matter how things unfolded, Chen Manman was still the victim in this whole affair. The police would certainly have to give her some explanation.

Yang Jian’an, seeing his father’s expression, dared not step forward to advise him. After pouring water for Yang Genhu and Chen Shougen, he quietly crouched in the corner.

Ye Feiyun faced the gentle breeze in the woods, murmuring, “Friend… friend…” Though neither had confessed their feelings, a warmth of friendship filled their hearts and bodies.

She glanced at his slightly pouting lips, surprisingly finding nothing out of place. She looked at the driver ahead; he was focused on the road, paying no attention to what was happening in the back seat.

Sun Yuhua knew well how terrifying the power behind Nan Chenshan was. The Sun family had some contact with the Chen clan’s external branches, but it was never deep.

As he spoke, he took the jewelry box from Lin Hanxing’s hands. Everyone heard a click, and suddenly, in the previously empty interior, another layer of space appeared.

In this world, the only friend who resonated with her so perfectly was Liu Jiahui, that eccentric flower.

Who could have guessed that, only moments later, Elder Song Yan and Bai Hai would shoot out abruptly from the earthen path, standing firmly before the four burly men.

The strange aura that seeped through the cracks lingered in everyone’s nostrils, making their faces flush with excitement.

From the start of the banquet, Xiao Lin had kept a deliberate eye on Jiang Yuhan as soon as she appeared.

But Qi Yanmo, have you ever thought, no matter how well you treat me, I will never fall for you? No matter how you care for me or stay by my side, I will never be moved?

Suddenly, a commotion rose on both sides of the road. They saw carts full of silver ingots, boxes of pearls, coral standing three feet tall. At once, chaos erupted. The many outlaws were drawn to the treasures, pointing and exclaiming over the goods.

“If you’ve chosen death, then I shall grant your wish!” Xia Leng placed her hands behind her back, her bangs swirling wildly, her voice echoing with pride.

Unable to aid the Ming dynasty or force the Qing army to retreat, and with the risk that Wu Sangui might seize Hanzhong, driving out one wolf only to invite another, and Zhang Xianzhong turning against him in battle, entering Sichuan was too difficult for swift victory.

The Sparrow King had already given instructions. I went to the Valley of Ten Thousand Ghosts as a prince of the Sparrow Clan, a status far superior to his. This was the Sparrow King’s arrangement, meant to suppress him. The Sparrow King knew only I could do so.

“No one called out, only a few dogs barked. Am I supposed to answer the beasts as well?” Qiu Xuan glanced sideways at Gu Bai, then at the three men surrounding him. Qiu Xuan had seen their previous actions, felt no kindness toward any of them, and spoke sharply.

“Boss, the people from Grace and Burgers have surrounded the hotel and launched a heavy fire assault!” In the basement safe room, the hotel manager made an urgent plea for help.

“Besides, this seems like nothing more than a sapphire, but in fact, it’s only half of one!” Xia Leng replied.

“Get out!” Old Ning Wuqie was prepared, condensing a palm and slapping it down hard.

“Rest assured, as long as you do what we say, your grandfather will be safe,” the specter said.

Li Zhen looked around incredulously at everyone, noticing they all wore the same expression. Suddenly, Li Zhen felt a pang of embarrassment.
