Chapter 119: The Meeting
If anyone were to see Gu Zhuo’s expression at this moment, they would surely be terrified. She maintained her usual indifferent facade, but her eyes were those of a hunter locked onto prey, burning with a brilliant, predatory excitement. Did Gu Zhuo hate Gu Min? Undoubtedly. That was why she had once torn Gu Min’s soul to shreds in a fit of rage. However, what she truly hated was not the Gu Min who had yet to act, but this imposter who had replaced her while completely disregarding her loved ones.
Their gazes turned vacant, an indescribable sense of shock emerging in their eyes. The voice calling out came from the fourth private room on the second floor; judging by the tone, it belonged to a middle-aged man with a deep, resonant voice.
"Walk with me." Once Yang Hanshu had left, Chen Xinlei shed her previous coquettish demeanor, returning to a more natural state.
Hearing their leader’s telepathic command, Meng Er and Meng San unleashed their attacks with even greater ferocity. The scene of Chen Xi’s sudden strike left everyone in the courtyard frozen, their expressions rigid with undisguised horror.
These two punches sent a violent jolt through Fu Long’s entire body. But it was not over yet; Lin Zhengfeng appeared above Fu Long, his fist charged with a formidable aura as he hammered it into the back of Fu Long’s head. Fu Long plummeted like a kite with a broken string, crashing hard into the yellow sand.
"Alright then, today we are the true Vietnamese volunteer army, here to help the Vietnamese King restore order. Any roving bandits are to be wiped out or scattered; do not let them band together," Qin Bangping ordered decisively.
"No problem, you might as well join our procurement and distribution service; the efficiency is guaranteed. We have already built a logistics system in the Jiangzhe region, handling door-to-door delivery with great acclaim," Hang Yu said.
Gao Gong’s robes fluttered as he strode away, followed by a throng of attendants. He hadn't gone far before he was intercepted by Eunuch Feng Bao, who insisted on getting close to the Chief Grand Secretary.
"Yunshan has serious business to attend to; don't go and disturb his work." Liu Shengjian naturally disagreed. After all, he was a government official, and getting too close to businessmen was improper. It was only because Hang Yu was young, had an impeccable family background, and never sought to exploit government connections that Liu Shengjian felt comfortable being close to him.
To this day, let alone telling Tang Shi that she was carrying his child, she hadn't even dared to contemplate trying to test the waters a second time.
Suddenly, a massive cluster of black spots erupted across the shattered mirror, and thousands of strange ants swarmed out, forming a tide that threatened to devour everything in its path.
Enduring the two scorching gazes behind her, Yang Linglan led Yu Zheng to the edge of the massive pit. Yu Zheng gasped, pointing at the gargantuan crater, unable to utter a word. Yang Linglan shrugged; she hadn't wanted to be so conspicuous, but she could never return that jade.
She stared fixedly in the direction of Xu Xiaoxiao and the others, her eyes brimming with resentment. It was these people who had caused her death, and she would etch their faces into her memory, refusing to let them go even in death.
Ding Yu held the reins of his own destiny; he would not follow in others' footsteps. Let Ma Yun be the one to deal with the product quality issues that would plague Taobei in the future.
Unbeknownst to her, Yang Linglan had entered a state of deep meditation. Her cultivation base had been built up by consuming far too many sugar pills, but after this period of reflection, her state of mind had finally caught up. This expansion of her mental state allowed her Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivation to stabilize.
In the dark alleyway, silence reigned, broken only by the heavy, grating breaths of Wu Weitunma, which sounded jarringly loud.
Moreover, calling a halt midway through would have a significant impact on the production crew. Not only would the previously filmed scenes go to waste, but it would also delay the film’s release and necessitate the arduous task of finding a replacement.
But it wasn't over yet. The mech piloted by Franklin followed closely behind the beam of light, shattering through the debris of buildings as it surged into the sky.
