Chapter 077: Trouble in the Gu Family?

That morning, Lin Mi rarely woke up naturally. After getting out of bed, she picked up her phone out of habit and opened "System Hot Search," intending to see if there were any suitable "tasks" for her to undertake.

Ever since the land development project began, she hadn't had much time to pay attention to the system's tasks.

But as her eyes swept over the trending topics, a striking headline instantly made her heart race and chased away all sleepiness.

"Stop saying unnecessary things. Isn't it just death? I've been waiting a long time," Stitch shouted at it.

Zhu Feiyang suddenly erupted, grabbing Duan Zetao by the throat with both hands and pinning him against the Humvee, grinding out between clenched teeth, "You beast, confess honestly! What did you do to Sister Ruoyan? I'm warning you—anyone else, fine, but you can't touch Sister Ruoyan!"

Liu Chunhua listened to Duan Zetao's grand vision and was struck with awe, exclaiming, "Zetao, how does your brain work? How can you think so far ahead and see things so clearly? This is nothing short of turning decay into magic!"

At that moment, the office director of Red Star Heavy Industries burst in, flustered and breathless. "Director Nie, something's wrong! Those workers are causing trouble again. They've blocked the cafeteria doors and are demanding to see Mayor Duan!"

Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly felt a wave of hot, foul-smelling wind blow from behind. Alarmed, he dove into the grass, rolling backward—only to end up right under the belly of the one-eyed beast.

But given the current situation, Huang Yitian had no time for anything else. As the person in charge of the Economic Development Zone, it was his unshirkable duty to ensure the basic safety of both investors and the local people.

"Can you speak like a human? An'an and I just got together, don't stir up trouble!" Mu Jingjing snapped in annoyance.

The Outhouse took advantage of his distraction, broke free, and dashed over to leap onto a horse. Turning back, he sneered at the crowd, pulled a flower from his breast, and said, "Ha! You want me to run errands for nothing? No way! These ten red-and-blue flowers are my fee. Goodbye!" With that, he galloped away.

"That's the husband of Deputy Director Zhang Yumei from the government research office," Hu Yunuo explained to Huang Yitian, eyes shining.

The choice of special commissioner was a crucial decision. If the commissioner botched the task, it would create an irreparable rift between the Huaxia authorities and Hao Yun.

"Uh! Pay up!" Having witnessed what just happened, Hu Dafa felt a bit frustrated himself. With nothing else to do as they waited, he decided to teach that man a lesson.

"Liu Piaopiao also agrees. I don't think anyone here would object, right?" Lin Wanrong put on a solemn air, though a hint of hidden lechery still flickered in his eyes.

Xie Dongya couldn't help but think of his other wives far away in the Kunlun Mountains, and of his children—he missed them dearly.

On the day of the Mage Festival, the vast expanse of the Fuyao Empire was bustling with excitement. Crowds of people gathered together, all converging before the ceremony of the Mage Festival.

That egg had originally been transparent, but when she entered, it turned blue again, making it impossible to see anything inside.

To learn what was on the other floors, he made a point of visiting the curtain with the word "Refining" after passing the second trial. As he'd expected, this place looked no different from where he'd been before.

But what dominated the scene were the corpses of enemies, making it clear the battle had been even fiercer than he'd imagined. The air was thick with the chill of profound ice, proof that Valley Orchid had joined the fight. Lou Yi realized then that the enemies who had come this time were far more frenzied than before.

Last time, he was only giving a statement, but this time was different. As soon as he entered the police station, Officer Zhao handcuffed Xie Dongya and took him directly into the interrogation room.
