Volume 1, Chapter 60: It was only by thinking of you that I gritted my teeth and kept going

With that, he walked straight out of the private room.
The door clicked shut softly.
Tang Ruan took a desperate, deep breath, moved her hand, and flipped open the folder.
Taking in the contents within, her expression froze in surprise.
Not the Huo Group?
Jiying Technology……
The name was completely unfamiliar.
She remembered the Huo Group's public announcement stating that Huo Yu had founded a company with stellar prospects while in country Y, named Zhui Huo.
On her flight to country Y, she had even overheard passengers next to her discussing it.
Then what was Jiying Technology?
Tang Ruan flipped through the remaining folders below.

RR Corporation.
"Hmph. Sitting in such a huge space all by myself—now that's what I call living the dream." Tian Jiao leaned back against the sofa, stretching out his long arms with a lazy, punch-able swagger.
The person who arrived was none other than Ye Tianyu, having reverted to his true appearance. By this time, all the guards outside had been easily neutralized by Ghost One.
The few cultivators from Junyue Pavilion standing before the desk had turned deathly pale. In the earlier accounts given by Zhao Dingyuan and Bing Anlin, the three of them had been implicated as well, even being branded as accomplices to the young man.
Hearing Coco's words, Shi Yi's face flushed crimson in an instant, and she turned around, hurrying back inside the room.
However, the expressions of the two had shifted from their previously feigned affection to a deep, solemn gravity.
Was she really doing the right thing? Returning had always been her ultimate longing, but could she truly abandon everything here so easily?
In the end, Mu Qianye was the one who announced the dismissal, yet the people of the Cold Night Kingdom erupted into a chorus of noise, finally being driven out of the imperial palace by the guards.
Driven by his extraordinary intuition, Ding Yamate definitely posed a problem. It was even possible that the pathetic display she put on before him was entirely an act. After all, Ding Yamate knew him very well and must have realized he wasn't the kind of person to do such a thing; her reaction at the time had been far too exaggerated.
"You flatter me, Madam. Though you are gravely ill, who would dare scorn the renowned Lady Cheng? Yanyuan addressing you as Madam is simply a matter of etiquette, nothing to be ridiculed." Cheng Yanyuan's explanation was perfectly reasonable.
Su Ruoyao made up her mind: disrupting these absurd blind dates wasn't just about teaching those female cousins a lesson so they would learn to cherish their boyfriends' affections instead of keeping them as backups; more importantly, it was to help Zheng Yanzhong break out of his predicament.

The court officials were preparing to leave, but upon hearing of Chunyu Yan's arrival, they had no choice but to stay. Before long, Chunyu Yan brought Qin Huan into the grand hall. Facing the sea of officials, Qin Huan inevitably felt a hint of nervousness.
Seeing this, the figures exchanged startled glances. Aside from the three primary cultivators anchoring the rock beast and the relatively weak-willed Ma Tian, the remaining four began unleashing formidable attacks, preparing to deal a fatal blow to the still-slumbering rock beast before them.
Having a head of stark white hair was admittedly quite cool, but turning it black, short, and curly—who could possibly bear that?
"Who are you? Why did you tie me up? Where is Fetic? What have you done to him?" Mei Feixue looked in terror at Fan Yanyan, struggling frantically with her hands, but Fan Yanyan had bound her so tightly that escape was impossible.
Suddenly, Yan Haoyi's voice echoed from not far away. Yan Haocheng snapped out of his trance and hurriedly stowed the cyan wolf boots into his spatial ring.
The Chinese team had at least forty points directly tied to Zhang Yunze; to call Zhang Yunze the ultimate backbone and core of this Chinese team was no exaggeration at all.
"How large is Campbell Island?" Ding Xiaoyi knew that reconnaissance satellites were not omniscient, so the oversight of such a target was understandable. Yet the mystery of why Japan would build a secret base in such a harsh place made its underlying intent deeply intriguing.
Gazing at the delicate hand extended by Li Mingxue, Su Mu reached out to take it, inevitably brushing against her skin. That warm palm similarly sent ripples stirring through the depths of Li Mingxue's heart.
Upon hearing that Ye Qingcheng had spent almost the entire month accompanying Qin Rui, the Duchess's face fell instantly, and she summoned Madame Mei to her presence.
