Chapter 51: Confession
He Wenzhou recognized him instantly. The man approaching was none other than Wang Yunkai, the largest shareholder of the Wang Group, respectfully known as Elder Wang.
Seventy-two years of age this year, the Elder possessed iron-fisted methods and was truly a legendary figure in the financial world. Water conservancy engineering was merely one of the operational sectors under the Wang family's umbrella. Their century-old fortune was vast and profound, with assets spanning both domestic and international markets.
Moreover, the Elder had suffered a harsh fate in his middle years...
Yan Jingshuo took her to the school infirmary to treat the swelling. When the ice pack touched her head, she felt a sharp pain, but by then, Gu Liangxi had already learned how to swallow her grievances and agony deep into her stomach, so she endured it without making a sound.
Bald Qiang and the others would not hesitate for a second. Whatever decision Ling Yufeng made, they would obey it unconditionally. Even knowing they might die the next moment, they wouldn't even bat an eye.
The root of the problem still lay with the Crimson Tower. Shang Qi suddenly bypassed the encirclement of the few and charged straight toward the Crimson Tower. Once she was dealt with, all problems would be solved.
Glancing at the sky, Hao Yan did not linger and directly returned to his cave dwelling. Upon returning, he began pondering how to promote his elixir stall, completely forgetting that he still needed to meditate and cultivate.
In half a breath's time, An Long reappeared on Andrew's left shoulder. The sharp dagger in his hand was somehow wedged between his feet, and leveraging his entire body weight, he drove it straight into Andrew's oblique shoulder muscle. Unable to withstand this sudden, overwhelming weight, Andrew lost his balance, his left knee buckling as he dropped to a half-kneel.
Seeing Auntie Sun looking so unsteady on her feet, Gu Bei hurriedly stepped forward to support her, only letting go once she was standing securely.
Over there, Yi Chen started calling upon friends, making calls everywhere, gathering a crowd, and then abandoning Su Lin to leave.
Because she had stayed up rather late tossing and turning the night before, she naturally missed her alarm and overslept the next morning, only to find that Yan Jingshuo was still at home.
Gu Liangxi had thought that even if he didn't care about her feelings, out of lingering affection for her late grandfather, Yan Jingshuo would surely suppress this matter, or at least issue a public statement to the outside world.
It was just that being caught up in the busyness of work over the past two days had indeed caused her to neglect him, almost making her forget that they still had ongoing business collaborations.
Next came the phase of three people searching for herbs together. Ten days passed, and it was hard to tell whether their luck was good or bad. While they had managed to find three kinds of herbs, the body-tempering prescription required over a hundred ingredients each time. Leaving aside the quantities, they couldn't even find most of the required categories.
Because Lin Yanran was staying temporarily at Li Muer's place and hadn't brought her pajamas, and Li Muer's pajamas were a bit tight across the chest, she simply went to sleep wearing only her undergarments. At this moment, she walked out dressed in just that.
Since they had already discovered that Qingqing was taken away by Cao Fang, he instead calmed down at that moment.
As for the nobility themselves, they cared little for the long-term peace and stability of the country. The blockage of channels for upward mobility would inevitably lead to the rot of the nation's foundation.
Gathering her scattered raven hair with a few swift movements, she tied it with the silk ribbon from her collar and swept it over her chest. Then, with a gentle leap, she plunged into the clouds like a nimble fish.
Although Meng Fan had only dubbed two roles so far, it was already enough for Charlie to recognize that Meng Fan possessed such capability.
If a Divine-realm expert were present, they would likely fight to the point of shattered heads and bleeding skulls over this cultivation technique alone, resorting to blood-burning secret arts and risking their lives to seize it. After all, a technique capable of cultivating up to the Saint realm was a supreme treasure to anyone in the Divine realm.
Ever since graduating, he had been drifting around Chengdu without achieving much success. It had been over a year since he last went home to visit his parents. When he first became a professional gamer, his mom and dad had strongly opposed it, to the point of severing family ties. Now, however, he had the confidence to return home and shut the old couple's mouths once and for all.
"Remember the dark clouds above Elshad? That is the pressure exerted by the gods upon the Demon Realm. They wish to annex the Demon Realm and demand that I immediately surrender my sovereignty."
