Chapter 24: Provincial Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection Detained at Police Station
Wang Hu, having finally grasped the situation through the explanations of those around him, had his two captives carry him to catch up with Wang Hao. He cast a wary, sideways glance at the fearsome giant while hurling threats at Wang Hao.
Turning around, the jade stairs had vanished. With Lin Yuan still standing at the foot of the mountain, Shi Yu found it impossible to determine whether the "Lin Yuan" she had just seen was merely an illusion.
It is not strange for a fish to possess intelligence. In the natural order of things, most living creatures possess a certain degree of sentience.
Other doctors in the conference room were clutching their mugs, sipping water. Chu Qingchen looked toward the "scumbag" and noticed he, too, was drinking from his cup.
"If you want to laugh, Qingchen, go ahead. Don't hold it in. I usually call him 'Beast,' and since he grew up hearing that, he's used to it. You were just surprised the first time you heard the name, but once you get to know us, you'll get used to it too," Chen Qian said with a smirk, casually slinging his arm over Chu Qingchen’s shoulder.
At that moment, an unexpected piece of news arrived: Antony had not marched his troops into the Antioch region. Instead, he led his elite forces to bypass the main Parthian front, striking at Apis's towns in Syria.
Just as the fat cat breathed a sigh of relief, she struck suddenly, driving a black nail straight into Shi Yu’s forehead.
Lin Feng practiced Tai Chi with undivided focus. To his delight, the air here was incredibly fresh, and the environment was far superior to that of Earth. He felt a profound sense of integration with this world.
"You'll know exactly what it is in a moment," Shi Yu said with a smile, taking the dried milk cakes into the kitchen.
Identification card? Mark was dumbfounded. His mind raced, and he turned around, pretending to be in a hurry to leave.
Of course, Feng Chen was unaware of this, nor did he care. He hadn't come here looking for a soulmate or anything of the sort.
The Liu Damo army had been defeated, with thirty thousand annihilated and twenty thousand rendered combat-ineffective. Facing such a significant event, Hu Lüxie dared not conceal the truth; the military report was dispatched immediately to Gao Yan in Yecheng.
The carriage Zhu Bofu was driving was truly magnificent. The orange-red body was painted with vibrant purples and reds, featuring auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes. The windows were decorated with scenes of mandarin ducks playing in water, while the roof was covered in dark purple woolen fabric, fringed with golden tassels and pearls.
But later, when he captured Kakashi—no, before he even captured Kakashi—he had already conceived of a useful way to play.
The Blue Shark army erupted in shouts; the entire billion-strong force threw down their weapons and armor, plunging into the sea in a desperate bid to survive.
The Black Qilin roared, shaking both heaven and earth. A majestic aura permeated the air, causing all the Heaven-Splitting Tigers in the distance to freeze, their eyes fixed intently on the horizon.
To ensure greater success, Zhou Lin continued to exchange for Orochimaru’s genetic modification technology, ensuring the cloned life forms would not suffer from defects.
Around five in the afternoon, Ye Xiaofeng called to ask if Gao Yuan had time to stop by his bar. Bored in his apartment, Gao Yuan agreed, got in his car, and headed out.
Luo Badao swung his cane, causing countless pythons to retreat with a rustle, leaving behind dozens of wounded Nangong swordsmen.
At that moment, Fang Quan brandished her spiritual sword. It instantly lost its physical form, striking at Song Xinyu, invisible and intangible.
After Liang Qing finished washing the dishes and emerged, she was about to ask if he wanted to sit for a while before leaving when Yan Yan’s phone rang again.
Yet, Ye Feng was a true anomaly. Not only did he possess spirit fire ahead of schedule—a feat usually reserved for five-star Spirit Masters—but this fire had been nurtured and strengthened by a mysterious black stone bead, unlocking further functions and transforming his physical constitution.
Nightmare had not shown its face so far, remaining buried in the jungle, farming, which gradually began to exert pressure on him.
Her lithe body moved like a tiger descending a mountain. With a simple, brutal, and overbearing straight punch, she slammed into the old man.
Even if Zed is a bit weak in the late game, a single well-executed play can still create endless possibilities.
Knowing Wang Haijuan as he did, she was usually so formidable, remaining unmoved by his various provocations and threats. Seeing her now, eyes closed and trembling, he knew something was wrong.
She stared blankly into the sky, only to discover with joy that Zhou Mingyang, who had been imprisoned in mid-air, was beginning to flex his fingers.
"Hmph! I know there are plenty who want me dead," Ye Feng sneered. It was truly vexing; fate was an elusive and inexplicable thing. Yet, in just two short years, he had risen to this level of cultivation; there was truly a great destiny protecting him in the shadows.
Seeing her charge at him with a reckless disregard for her life, Liang Jian unleashed his spiritual pressure and leveled his gun at her.
Ye Xiao used to enjoy wandering off on side quests in games, often leaving the main story for later. It was just like certain games where nothing was more important than playing cards.
Watching Hu Ao’s dejected back, Xiu’er heaved a long sigh. Although the words came from Hu Ao himself, how could she not know his desperation to recover his memories? Otherwise, why would he have repeatedly forced himself to recall the past until he fainted?
"At the end of the operation, Long Ze Meiji and I will stay behind to cover Hu Xiaolong and his team’s retreat and handle the diversion. The Captain understands, right?" Lei continued, keeping them in suspense.
"Poof!" A flame ignited, illuminating the surroundings. Only then did Chilong realize they were in a cave. He gave Li Xin a strange look, remaining silent, simply watching him.
After much deliberation, the Bai family, aside from posing a threat to the throne of their Xiao family, had not committed a single fault.
"You guys keep drinking. I’m going outside to take a call. There’s half a bottle left; if I come back and it’s still in the bottle, heh heh, you’re all in for it today," Li Xin said to Brother Hong and the others.
After a long while, Dugu Jiuye finally let go, though his expression remained complex and unreadable.
Having finally regained control of her body, she was still dizzy. Half-dragged into the private room by the man and thrown onto the sofa, she found herself with no strength left.
"Boss! I have something to report to you," Lu Gang said. Seeing Lei preparing to leave, he nudged Bai Tieyi, who immediately understood and called out to stop him.
