Volume One, Chapter 94: In Just a Few Hours, He Became Someone Else

Mo Xingyuan didn’t call Su Li, but Lu Jing did.

Su Li answered the phone.

“Who’s that guy in the photo?” Lu Jing asked right away. “How did you get into his car? He didn’t do anything to you, did he?”

Su Li glanced at Xie Jiuzhi, who was tidying up the trash ready to take it away. “If anything had happened to me, I wouldn’t be answering your call.”

“Where did you even meet him? You’ve only been with him for one night?”

If one were to fabricate lies, it would take countless more lies to cover them up, inevitably leading to exposure. It was better to tell the truth.

“Yi Yifeng, your arrogance won’t last long!” The voice of the slightly chubby youth sounded fierce but carried a hint of nervousness.

“Young master, you’re finally back. Xin’er has missed you so much.” Xin’er hid in Yi Yifeng’s arms, her voice trembling with tears.

Thus, as modern migrant workers, they preferred to work in the city. As long as they weren’t greedy or lazy, working hard in town could easily earn them two to three thousand yuan a month. Working away for half a year could earn as much as what their whole family made farming for two to three years.

Yi Yun’s breath quickened. Taking a deep breath again, she swung two swords at the other two assassins. The two cold corpses fell from the sky.

At this moment, relying solely on physical ability, Qin Yibai could strike hundreds of times per second, reaching a terrifying level. Ordinary people could barely perceive his punches, and even the renowned martial arts star known for his speed in China was far behind him.

The two immediately called the finance department, instructing them to use online payment methods to pay the three construction companies that had been owed project funds.

As they spoke, they listed a materials inventory that included eight kinds of rare minerals and timber.

At this moment, their hearts were filled not only with fear but even more with hatred for Qin Yibai. Yancheng was their territory. Now that someone had trampled their ground, did they still have the face to stay here?

Time passed by the second. After three or four minutes, the sound of choking sobs gradually grew louder, eventually turning into wails of bitter crying.

Gu Huai smiled wryly and shook his head, thinking he had intended to flatter subtly and humbly like the ancients seeking advice, but it had clearly backfired.

Logically, he didn’t need to be so anxious, but both his past experiences in the capital and the new situation he encountered upon returning to Jiangnan, along with an intuitive sense of impending danger, all told him that it was never wrong to be more prepared.

“And your body and Franken’s were secretly swapped by us during the transport of derivatives from Aurora City to Chang’an,” Selena said, glancing meaningfully at Wu Yan after finishing.

Looking at it this way, even if they had left hurriedly just now, they wouldn’t get far. This dense forest would not allow a peaceful departure tonight.

Well, that was fortunate—she still had one healthy leg. At present, both her ankles were sprained.

Wang Ye turned to look and saw his battlefield adviser Leona with dirt smeared across her face following him. The second prince hadn’t come; at least he had some self-awareness.

His blood dripped onto the fruit and was silently absorbed. The fruit, feeding on the blood, faintly cracked open an invisible seam, within which a soft blue light shimmered.

This way, the capital’s military force could reach about two hundred thousand. Combined with ample laborers and the advantage of defending the city, they might actually hold their own against the Liao cavalry, who were poor at siege warfare.

Huo Lianshan rubbed his skin hard, then looked down, sighing helplessly.

Chi Jie took off his coat, tossed it to his subordinate without looking back, and walked into the room. The door closed behind him.

After that, golden light surged brightly around the Golden Dragon! The black dragon that had been perched on the golden scythe also soared into the air at dusk! The diamond-shaped scales on both dragons suddenly retracted as they arched their backs and faced each other in midair.
