Volume 1, Chapter 54: Evidence!

"Chang Hu!" Liu Kun and Yao Bing cried out in panic.

Ignoring everything else, Lin Che pushed the guards aside and ran over.

By the time Lin Che rushed to the spot, all the assassins had already been killed, and Zhao Wu had hurried back.

Looking at Chang Hu lying on the ground, Lin Che's fingers trembled slightly.

Chang Hu spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, his body convulsed, and then he went completely still.

Boom...

Everyone widened their eyes in shock.

"Damn it! What is going on? How could there be assassins here? Go and investigate this immediately!" Zhao Wu commanded in fury, turning around to issue orders.

"Huo Wangzhi..." Lin Che clenched his teeth tightly.

How could he not know? These were undoubtedly assassins from Yang Huaimans faction.

He had, after all, had the fortune of seeing them before.

It seemed they did not intend to let these people live either...

Ignorant of where he found the courage, Xu Chen rushed forward and kicked Yang Cheng flying with a single blow, drawing another miserable shriek.

Donghu Real Estate was clearly the local overlord of the Qingfu District. Although Julu Group possessed considerable strength, how many real estate developers dared to operate openly without decent backing? Unless Julu Group was invincible, they were clearly determined to leave behind a trail of unfinished buildings in Qingfu.

Ma Su's remark hit the nail on the head. Jiang Ning had actually fallen into a misconception; he had only been thinking about forming an alliance, completely failing to consider whether there was still any necessity to continue doing so at present.

In a sudden flash, Lei Mingxuan recalled the investigation she had conducted years ago to understand the emotions hidden within her heart. One particular incident made her realize that such feelings could not be uttered lightly.

Coming back to his senses, Lin Yu handed the veil over. Seeing that Xuanyue remained motionless for a long time, he glanced into her eyes, smiled awkwardly, took her hand, and placed the veil into her palm.

It must have been the sensation of the Eye of Magnus transmitting to Olifant that gave rise to this illusion.

The greatest taboo during a breakthrough is a deficiency of energy. While the energy of heaven and earth is inexhaustible, it is sparse and chaotic. Failing to rapidly absorb a massive amount of supplemental energy at the moment of breakthrough will lead to failure.

Users naturally detested this bitterly, yet these rogue software programs were deeply hidden, leaving computer-illiterate users helpless when trying to uninstall them.

Bai Qi also put Qi Gong down and walked to Uncle Shan's side. The two of them stood on guard like a pair of lions fixing their gaze on their prey, ready to bare their fangs the moment their target lowered their guard.

"This Shi Er has no regard for rules. I already agreed to a fifty-fifty split earlier, yet he still wants to swallow seventy percent all by himself," Captain Liu said.

Then, Yan Laohu took Xu Dong around various parts of the barracks, introducing him to several low and mid-ranking non-commissioned officers one by one.

"Young Master Yang, I wonder if you can honor your words," the Tujue centurion Barha said to Li Shimin.

Being in Nanjing and separated by a province, Chu Yun could naturally not foresee from a thousand miles away what was happening to Qiu Nan. Lin Xiuxiang swept a cold gaze behind her and discovered several guilty-looking fellows; it seemed the traitors were more than just one.

"General Meng, please follow me. I certainly will not harm you." A glint of shrewd wisdom flickered in Li Si's eyes as he took the lead and walked toward Li Xian's large tent.

This was merely an official reason. Ding Meilin would naturally not directly tell Su Han her ultimate goal, but she needed to play this chess move well.

Walking straight ahead, he ascended directly to the sixteenth floor. Ye Feng had heard Yu Fengwu mention last time that the cultivation rooms on the sixteenth floor and above were places where both martial arts techniques and cultivation levels could be practiced. Finding an unoccupied cultivation room, Ye Feng stepped inside.

The men under his command had followed him for many years and were willing to risk their lives for him. Such a group was inevitably exclusive, which was why he had seen no major development over the years. However, believing that his brothers were risking their lives, he never skimped on their commissions by even half a fraction, even if it meant taking less for himself.

After settling the bill, the husband and wife left the department store hand in hand. The man carried his wife's bag and their newly purchased goods, an enviable sight that drew the gazes of passersby.

Liefeng not only wore steel bracers on both arms but also a pair of exquisitely crafted boxing gloves on his hands. To be struck by his fists was no different from being hit by an iron hammer. Liefeng's fists danced like the wind, his entire body seeming to possess not a single flaw. Not daring to take his attacks head-on, Chen Sheng could only dodge sideways.

Under these circumstances, sending more men would simply be offering themselves up to be beaten—it was completely useless. Since it was useless, why send soldiers to their deaths in vain?

Xun Chuan hung up the phone. On the nearby tablet, the sound of lotus flowers blooming was still playing, though he felt somewhat irritable this time. He turned off the tablet, and the living room instantly grew quiet.

He hurriedly accepted it, lit a cigarette for himself, and took a deep drag. Only then did his tense expression seem to relax a bit.

Intending to do so, I specifically went to take a bath. Yet, while my heart had been pounding at first, soaking in the water gradually calmed me down.

Setting aside whether someone named Zhong Kui actually existed, even if he did, as one of the Four Judges of the Underworld, was his matching sword something they could casually auction off?

Zhu Zifei glared at him. However, the bashful, blushing gaze she cast his way at that moment carried zero threat; to him, it looked rather like she was acting spoiled.

At that instant, the hearts of all the officials skipped a beat, their hair standing on end as they felt that the days ahead would not be pleasant. Panic-stricken, they wished they could immediately rush back and hide every single misdeed they had ever committed, making sure Ji Wenyu could not uncover even the smallest trace.

After Chen Xing reminded everyone to move back to a safe distance, it was not long before military trucks flying the United States flag drove up one by one.

Yuan Shaocong had gritted his teeth and pulled out the ice thorns embedded in his arm. With a surge of inner strength, the bleeding was slowly stanched. No longer caring about his image, he tore the robe on his arm directly and wrapped it around the wound.

Jiang Shilan had originally thought this premature maturity was the result of imperial education—after all, children of this age changed day by day—but she never expected that he had been forced to grow up through a series of bumps and bruises along the way.

With the night deep and the situation outside completely unknown, she had no intention of taking risks and decided to stay here for the night instead.

"Yes, Elder Lin has learned of Luo Long's current whereabouts and intelligence, and has dispatched me along with some troops to go to Eagle Country to disrupt Luo Long's plan. Will you come with me?" Chen Feng asked in return.

Tu Huo spat out a large mouthful of blood in mid-air. This black staff was an immortal artifact, further reinforced by Mu Che with the power of mountains. Though Tu Huo's physique was formidable, he suffered internal injuries instantly under the staff's assault.

If she had also come to participate in the bride-selection contest, she might well have done the same to eliminate future trouble, wouldn't she?

"You've run all the way outside the school, and you call that anything other than skipping class? What if something happens to you?" I sternly interrogated her, both of my eyes practically spitting fire.

"Hmph, let me ask you, Mr. Time Traveler, that perverted fellow's target is actually you, isn't he?" Alice licked an oversized milk-vanilla-chocolate lollipop laced with lizard saliva, sneering as she questioned Li Xiaoyue, who had slumped into a chair.
