Chapter 61: Exposed

Ruan Tang silently muttered an apology in her heart, but her expression remained completely unchanged as she continued to smile and discuss business with Ruan Li.

The two of them hit it off and went on a field trip to examine the market for the business Ruan Li wanted to start. Afterward, at Ruan Tang's suggestion, they went to see a popular movie.

As the movie ended, Ruan Li couldn't help sighing, "True love should be just like the two main characters in the movie, tolerating and understanding each other—"

Ruan Tang's almond-shaped eyes curved into a smile:

Wu Yue's martial prowess was constantly improving, and he had been longing to find someone to test his combat strength against, yet he had lacked the opportunity for quite some time.

Emina was lost in thought, her entire body enveloped in thick black cloth, a tall conical hat obscuring her eyes from view.

However, considering that another person wearing a lieutenant's uniform had been performing in a Broadway show aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship just three weeks earlier, Luo Can had no choice but to assume command of this battleship.

Judging from the encounter of Ji You'an and her roommate the previous night, however, they were mostly just frightened by the spectacle; these ghosts had not inflicted any harmful actions upon them at all.

"The Chairman's Office!" Ling Tian caught a glimpse of the four prominent characters inscribed on the door and couldn't help feeling a slight pang of surprise. There were quite a few rooms on the top floor—at least five—and this spared him the trouble of searching.

As it turned out, someone had been burning incense here and making offerings to him. Who on earth would burn incense and make offerings to a living person? No wonder his luck had plummeted to such an extent.

If used for burning, it would generate a massive amount of smoke; let alone providing warmth, one would likely be choked to death outright.

The old man was writing something at his desk, looked up at the curious Xiao Fei, and asked with a smiling expression.

The so-called "earth rats" were what people in the Sichuan region called grave robbers, a thoroughly despicable profession.

Yet this was only the beginning. The suction force continued to grow, gradually lifting the sand and dust into the air, while the falling superhumans screamed in terror.

She sighed and cast a resentful gaze toward Li Zixiao once more, saying nothing as she simply stared at him quietly.

In truth, they had been secretly tailing Yang Chen for a long time, following him right from the moment he entered the edge of the desert, which was how they had so cleverly set an ambush and previously seen the simpleton in secret.

"Did you know? Both of her parents are prominent figures," Wu Momo said candidly.

After saying this, Qin Ziyuan shifted her body slightly, but she was already pressed against the car door with nowhere left to move.

This also corroborated the saying, "No one can sail through life with the wind always at their back." Qian Hao was perhaps an obstacle specially set in place by the heavens for him, and everything depended on whether Li Zixiao could get past it, and how he would manage to do so.

Neither did she wish to speak of it; after all, Murong Tian was Wei Yefeng's official fiancée, and making too much of a fuss over certain matters was hardly the wisest course of action.

She was not inherently kind-hearted, and naturally understood that to gain something, one must pay a price—there is always a loss for every gain. Even if it meant descending into hell after death as a result, she would gladly accept it. She believed in karmic retribution, but right now, she had someone she cared about in her heart; she could not let go of Jun Ninglan, simply could not let go.

Madam Wei's smile did not reach her eyes, her lovely gaze searching Lin Xiaohuan's face for any trace of the clues she desired. Yet Lin Xiaohuan remained calm, as if entirely devoid of any guilty ripples within.

Lin Xiaohuan swept her flashlight around the surroundings once more. It was deathly quiet all around, bearing no sign of human presence.

On the fourth day, the city gates swung wide open, and Zhang Jian finally emerged, bringing along the surrendered old Feng. After taking over the city, Zhang Wuwei seized an opportunity to ask Zhang Jian how he had managed it, but Zhang Jian merely smiled without a word.

In a confession of love, the most moving words are not how much I love you or how important you are to me, but rather proving it with practical actions and proving it with time, showing that I will stay by your side through every storm and hardship.

"Brother, what should we do? They're still following us, and it seems like there are more and more of them!" Just as we pressed on along our way, the tail behind us kept growing larger and larger!
