Volume 1, Chapter 27: Hidden Truths

"What is it?" Shen Ji asked, frowning.

Song Qingwu was trembling all over, stuttering, "Actually, the Meng family had long set their sights on the Young Marquis's estate..."

The Meng family wanted Shen Ji's manor. However, since Shen Ji was, after all, a Young Marquis, the Meng family could not simply seize it by force. Consequently, Meng Zhiyuan approached the Song family, hoping to conspire with them to set a trap for Shen Ji. Once the scheme succeeded, the Meng family would obtain Shen Ji's manor, while the Song family would claim his silver. The two families hit it off immediately and swiftly devised a plan to force Shen Ji to play the part of a wealthy man beyond his means. In the end, Shen Ji’s manor was sold to the Meng family for a pittance of sixty thousand taels of silver. Furthermore, it was Shen Ji himself who had begged the Meng family to buy it. Because, after all, Shen Ji...

Shen Ji kept his word and delivered two more kicks to Song Fanghuai’s crotch. Watching Song Fanghuai howling in agony, Feng Min suddenly felt that Shen Ji was not such a bad person after all. Compared to how he treated Song Fanghuai, Shen Ji had been quite merciful to his own incompetent son.

If he had really delivered such kicks to the crotch of that wretch Feng Yuan, the Feng family would likely have faced an end to their lineage.

Afterward, Ning Shu instructed Feng Min, "Later, find an artist to draw a portrait of Zhao Lie, then show it to Shen Ji. He has met Zhao Lie and knows..."

My excitement at that moment was beyond words. I could not help but embrace her, unable to utter a single sound for a long time.

Si Chi felt relieved. Seeing that his master and Pan Yujiao did not appear to be engaged in anything intimate, he concluded they were truly discussing important matters. After all, Quanzhou had just been captured, and with a myriad of tasks at hand, it was only natural for his master to be concerned.

The scene erupted into chaos, with shock and excitement etched onto every face.

Amused, I opened the wardrobe, found my clothes, and looked up at the dressing mirror, only to shudder as if struck by lightning.

Dan Teng caught his breath, realizing that since Yan Shitian had appeared, there was no need for him to intervene. He hurriedly recalled his dying Red-Scaled Crocodile.

He knew he would likely never be a good man in this life; perhaps that was why he took such pleasure in seeing others do good—a way to compensate for the regrets in his own heart?

The child looked up, staring blankly at Anthony and Sasha. "Thank you," he said, before immediately lowering his head again.

"I recall you saying that everything had been resolved," Sasha said, raising an eyebrow with a stern gaze.

Wei Xuan naturally agreed to everything. Seeing that noon was approaching, he feigned an invitation for Zhou Xuan to stay for a meal. It was merely a polite gesture, and he had expected Zhou Xuan to decline; unexpectedly, Zhou Xuan agreed instantly, looking entirely at home.

This roar made the base personnel outside the laboratory shiver involuntarily; it was simply too terrifying.

As the second-in-command of the Zhejiang administration, Chen Yongsheng rarely asked Yan Kuan for a favor. If Ding Yi missed the exam and was eliminated, what would happen?

He had been certain of his feelings since the age of ten, and even now, he had not changed.

In terms of productivity, a tablet cannot compare to a computer; in terms of portability, it falls short of a smartphone. Playing with a tablet while lying in bed also carries the risk of it falling on one's face.

Before the words had even faded, Cheng Yang had already shoved the monster in front of Su Qianqian aside and pulled her out of the public teaching building.

To the Black Bolt's question, Lin Qi gave his most sincere answer. The matter was simply as it was; if they did not believe him, there was nothing Lin Qi could do.

Song Peng opened his eyes and, seeing that Xiang Lanqing had no intention of attacking him, breathed a sigh of relief.

After feeding Lin Zhishi, Qing Yunxian finally had the time to treat the wound on his chin. Just looking at it made her feel pain; she wondered how Lin Zhishi had managed to grit his teeth and endure it.

Bai Zhou furrowed his brows slightly, as if pondering the deeper secrets hidden behind the diary.

In fact, the Freedom Battle E-sports Arena had more than just this one experience zone, but the top 128 teams in the other zones were relatively more stable and lacked spectacle.

However, no matter what kind of personality the two children had, she loved them more than anything.

The black mist grew denser, as if Mian-Tang City were submerged in darkness. No! Ahead of Li Wei, the Town Administration Hall still emitted a faint black light. In the midst of the black mist, the color was already inconspicuous, let alone the fact that it was flickering and quite weak.

Besides that, they had captured several enemies alive, including the person crouching on the elevator who could use the carousel music box to erase memories—a total of four. Even if they couldn't get answers, it at least provided the possibility of interrogation.

"What do you two think is the best way to handle this?" Bai Lin asked the two parties involved once the children had left.

"Alright, it's getting late. Everyone, let's disperse," Li Mingchen said suddenly, rising to his feet.
