105. Underhanded Tactics

Far away in Rong City, Wei Xun had been feeling uneasy ever since he saw Lin Mi off that morning. Images of her in that remote little town kept surfacing in his mind. She was just a young woman; no matter how capable, being in a completely unfamiliar and secluded place unsettled him deeply. His thoughts kept circling back, leaving him distracted and unable to focus on his work throughout the day.

In fact, he had sent messages to check on Mi several times during the day, each time receiving her replies.

The Wu siblings, sensing the dire situation, clasped hands and managed to expand the protective water barrier around them three or four times its original size, enclosing Ling Yang and Bu Li along with others inside it.

“Hahaha, exactly! Someone’s arranging a banquet—we should celebrate with a proper drink,” Lord Zhang said, squinting at Jiang Yanming with a smile. Jiang Yanming quickly agreed, while Lady Lai got up to give orders.

Mother Qin asked Aunt Yang to take Grandma back to her room, but the old lady refused. After some persuasion from Su Wuyang, she finally followed Aunt Yang back, glancing back with each step.

After the emperor finished his inquiry, the court fell silent—no ministers had anything urgent to report. Seeing this, the emperor instructed Li Lianying to announce the dismissal of the court.

To be honest, Su Yuyang’s behavior was strange; perhaps he had feelings for you…” Ji Linxi’s words were cut short when Ling Miao snatched the phone from him and immediately made a call.

Ling Yang tucked the “pistol” and knife back into his clothing, gazing at Mountain Eagle with admiration before clapping his hands enthusiastically.

Tony joked slyly; after the Manhattan battle, Banner had gained better control over the Hulk. Letting the Hulk and Wang Kai fight was no problem—it meant having another ally, so there was no need to fear Wang Kai’s threats anymore.

Yang Hua raised his fist to intimidate Meng Yu, who stepped back. Yang Hua then hurried toward Lu Haotian’s office.

“Nanny Yao is an insider and quite elderly. I’m worried that if she slips up, it might arouse the elder brother’s suspicions. Although it’s not a big deal, it’s best to avoid unnecessary trouble. Besides, people shouldn’t be used forever; after their hard work, sending them off to a dignified retirement is only fitting,” Li Danruo said briefly, leaving the matter at that.

After discussing his resignation, Wang Kai was unapologetic. Tony was the kind of person who needed a firm lesson to understand whose fists truly packed the greatest power.

Zhang Zitong blushed so deeply that it seemed her face might drip, appearing nervous, yet she pressed her body tightly against Lin Yu, as if afraid to be separated from him.

Sun Xingzhe immediately became excited. Having followed Tang Sanzang for so long, their master-disciple bond was strong. Their straightforward personalities and shared goals fostered genuine camaraderie, making their relationship truly close.

Cai Xintang and Chen Zhixiong joined the company at the same time, forging a close friendship and often exchanging such exaggerated jokes.

Chen Yuanzhen always concealed her exhaustion whenever the Emperor’s messenger arrived, standing gracefully at the palace gates in anticipation.

Even after reaching adulthood, countless times as he fell asleep, he would dream of that scene and awaken in terror from his nightmares.

Huang Shijing donned his thick cotton coat and stood close to offer a toast, completely putting aside the earlier idea of holding a “nail rake” banquet.

At that moment, the news channel showed footage of a wealthy businessman named Ma, handcuffed and flanked by two police officers, moving slowly into view.

Fu Bao was grateful for his colleagues’ help but still harbored a question—how did A Miao get injured?

Dressed in a purple official robe, Shen Jue approached with a solemn brow, exuding nobility. Two eunuchs followed behind as he strode through the night.

Such a significant matter, affecting many and involving arduous tasks—how could you just toss it aside like that?

As Luo Que struggled to find a powerful cultivation method online, a gentle breeze slowly rose against the flow, breaking through the second layer and drifting toward the third.
