Chapter 76: A Car Accident

Meng Lianqiao's attempt to frighten me chilled my heart instantly. The women of the Su family are truly more trouble than they're worth; if it weren't for the sake of Mr. Su, I wouldn't bother with such trifles at all.

Lost in these tangled thoughts, I found that Meng Lianqiao and I had already reached the street corner.

At that moment, a Maybach and a Cayenne had collided head-on.

Strangely enough, though there were some young men in the village who could swim quite well and seemed eager to play the hero, upon closer inspection and deeper consideration, each of them abandoned any such idea.

The police officer smiled, nodded to show understanding, then focused his attention, preparing to deal with the personnel ascending the stairs.

“Don’t worry, it’s just a meal—I can still afford that much.” The semester had only just begun, and I was still unfamiliar with the people around me; there was no need to draw unnecessary attention to myself.

After finishing their meeting, Shen Tong and his companions returned to their respective rooms; for the next few days, this place would serve as Shen Tong’s base of operations.

The general manager sent by Jiang Lejin, the head of material management from Chi Xian, and the chief of finance from Lu Xiao had all started their work.

Moreover, there was a crocodile leader, poised and ready, who had been silently observing everything with a cold gaze ever since an attempted ambush had been thwarted.

Blue Feather had already discovered from the soldier she subdued that they had come from the base, and their target was none other than herself. Thus, at the right moment, she would have to allow herself to be captured by them.

However, because Ding Zhen had stolen the spotlight, the farewell banquet for Blue Feather and her companions as they returned home ended up featuring Ding Zhen and his group as the main focus.

Two warriors entered at the command, half dragging, half escorting Peach Blossom out of the room, while she cursed and wept all the way.

From domestic finance to national treasury, to foreign exchange management and the Four Banks and Three Commissions, nearly all of China’s central banking was managed directly by the central bank. This is why financial professionals refer to the central bank as “Mother Central”—a term that could not be more appropriate.

Defeated in combat, Dimaga immediately spat a molten iron beam at Aix, who dodged the attack with a roll to the left front.

With a single thought, the Immortal-Slaying Sword’s light burst forth, dazzling and radiant, ten thousand feet long, shimmering with all the colors of the rainbow.

“No matter what, I still think his play in the mid lane is nothing special—not as good as the captain’s,” Song Zhijie said, still somewhat unconvinced.

Sure enough, the outline of something appeared beneath the soil, though only the tip of the iceberg was visible, making its true form impossible to distinguish.

Ling Xiao chuckled to himself. He discovered that, in his “Body of the Underworld” state, his dark powers had increased to a terrifying degree.

Seeing the look of horror in Blue Fina’s eyes, Liang Shan immediately understood what she feared. As he explained, a hint of melancholy crept across his handsome face.

A subtle unease washed over Hua Xuanji. Judging by Qingge’s usual behavior, even if she’d said to leave without her if she didn’t arrive, she would always wait a while longer. Even if she was late, it would only be by the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

“There’s something going on,” Xiao Yiyun replied, already darting away from Xing Jing and heading straight for his car.

Outside the silent palace walls, the faint sounds of water and hurried breathing could be heard.

Ye Qingcheng swung her legs off the bed and poured herself a glass of water, taking several gulps. Yet the deep unease, panic, and pounding of her heart only grew stronger with every passing moment.

With his experiences from his previous life, he knew that Xu Mengyan could never escape Yao Lifeng’s schemes. That was why he paid special attention to Xu Mengyan now. Especially since Zhao Da had already been ensnared by Yao Lifeng, he could not be certain whether it was Yao Lifeng who had instructed Zhao Da to follow Xu Mengyan.

Consort Liu nodded and instructed, “You all may leave. Let the three of us have a heart-to-heart.” The phrase “the three of us” filled Yao Qingmu’s heart with warmth.
