Chapter 140: Hanging by a Thread
"This is the place."
Lin Mi's heart tightened. This was the first time she had ever faced a murder scene directly; if not for saving someone, she wouldn't have had the courage to do such a thing.
"Get ready," Wei Xun reminded her in a low voice.
Lin Mi nodded silently and immediately took out her phone, switching it to video mode.
This was what the two of them had planned beforehand, dividing the labor.
Wei Xun didn't want Lin Mi to take risks, nor did he want the man's desperate retaliation to hurt anyone.
In their hearts, everyone was actually asking this question, but it was awkward to bring it up in front of Yang Shaozong.
Taking advantage of the moment when Wu Kui was momentarily stunned by Lin Xi's arrival, Cao Hongye suddenly lashed out with his right leg, kicking Wu Kui hard on the right leg, and taking advantage of his retreat, side-stepped out of the way.
Having too many buyers when shorting stock index futures easily creates upward pressure, and the market will not swallow them up rashly. Therefore, his other strategy was to start cashing out in January, continuously selling short internet stocks.
Starting from October, almost every month, more than twenty officials at or above the deputy departmental level fled the country.
"...Thank you, Lingyi." Ah Ni did not break free from Li Lingyi's embrace. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his waist, pressed her face against his chest, and said softly.
She really knew how to enjoy herself. Immediately afterward, Yang Yi saw the Red Queen pick up her rose scepter from beside the pillow. Yang Yi was utterly speechless—it turned out the Red Queen had forgotten her scepter and gone back to retrieve it. With such a scatterbrained disposition, she still wanted to unify the underworld and the surface world?
"Boom!" A warning bell flashed in Long Fei's mind, and he instantly vanished from his original spot. The very next instance, the place where Long Fei had been standing was blasted into fragments by a massive wooden stake. Debris flew wildly and smoke and dust churned as Carmen's attack did not stop just because Long Fei had dodged.
Moreover, the Sect Master was still nurturing some new Foundation Establishment disciples, so the sect would be relatively chaotic during this period. Therefore, they would have to wait until the Sect Master and the various elders came out of seclusion before things stabilized.
Xishi Liang, who hadn't even had the time to display the Liang family's ultimate martial arts, naturally refused to admit defeat easily. He was going to fight to the death to win back his face.
Either spend money to grease the palms of local powers and buy official protection, or carve a way through the mountains and bridge the waters, taking things as they come.
Those bizarre entities emerged endlessly, and most mages only possessed Foundation Establishment cultivation, with Golden Core ones being exceedingly rare. How could they possibly have the ability to clear them all out? By now, it had completely fallen.
As Night Wuhan spoke, he observed Qinghe, making sure she was not as angry anymore. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
Thinking of this, her body shivered slightly, and she hurriedly found clean clothes for her younger sister to change into. They only had a few sets of clothes to wash and wear.
The two simply discussed that rather than working for others, they might as well be their own bosses. They went home to discuss with their parents about raising funds to set up this stall. In the beginning, it was a husband-and-wife business with no outside help.
If they really insisted on doing this, Night Wuhan would certainly teach them a lesson.
Recently, it was heard that the imperial court had recruited the secluded Xiao family, letting them step in, which finally allowed the war situation in the north to ease slightly.
The brave have no fear of self-exposure; those people at school would at most gossip about issues like bribery and corruption, which was already known to the entire city anyway, so she had nothing to hide.
They had come once before, but were blocked by the guards, leaving them with no choice but to go and request an imperial decree from Zhu Yuanzhang.
Clearly, it was only a fleeting moment, but Sun Gaogao felt as though his resentful life had already flashed before his eyes like a lantern show. The more resentful he was, the more regretful he felt.
After saying this, Bai Qifei waved his hand impatiently, and immediately someone came forward to carry away the servant who had narrowly survived.
I snatched up the foreign liquor that he had just dropped on the ground and smashed it hard over the man's head. Instantly, fresh blood began to stream from his head.
"Yes, yes, yes. My dear wife is absolutely one of a kind, unmatched by anyone!" Ji Zeyou nodded solemnly, smiling as he leaned in to steal a kiss, only to receive another slap in the face.
