Chapter 120: Snatching People

[Page 1 of 3]

“Oh, I see...”

Seeing that the old madam intended to let the matter pass with a light punishment, Jian Wenying was unwilling to let it go. “Madam, young people are often unsettled, and it is understandable that they may be somewhat playful. As elders, we can make allowances for that. But if we continue to indulge such behavior, I fear the family’s moral standards will never be upheld.”

Jian Wenying’s words were far more sophisticated than her daughter’s. Whether the old madam chose to punish Lu Yalan lightly or severely, they would still leave her branded with the shame of adultery. Moreover, the old madam valued the family above all else. How could she tolerate one person bringing disgrace upon its reputation?

Sure enough, the old madam’s expression, which had just begun to soften, darkened once more.

Jian Wenying and Lu Yazhu pressed her relentlessly. How could Hong Xing fail to see that this entire affair had been a trap set by the mother and daughter?

A claw descended. With a pinch, hook, and twist, it could seize the shoulder blade—or even shatter and pierce through the brittle collarbone.

Among classmates, colleagues, relatives, and friends, people would often hear the words “Coco” again and again whenever they met and chatted.

Red Bell was puzzled, but before she could say anything, she felt the ground begin to tremble violently.

An Academy Award was no longer anything particularly unusual to Li Mu, but to everyone else, it was an entirely different matter.

A look of astonishment and surprise appeared on Ying Zheng’s face. Beside him, Gai Nie could not help glancing at Zhao Jia.

Refusing to change the release schedule merely to save face, only to end up earning four hundred million instead of the five hundred million it should have made—that would truly be humiliating, and would turn the company into a laughingstock throughout the industry.

Zhao Jia was somewhat surprised when he heard this. Compared with the Heavenly Net of the Luo Net, the Earthly Net involved far more people, and taking it over was by no means simple. The most crucial point was that Lü Buwei could not be alerted.

Even if they failed to catch Wan Hao, bringing back only these photographs and the address would not make Group Leader Mishang angry enough to shift the blame or demand an explanation.

Having thought of this, she left the audience seats and went to the self-funded training room built beneath them.

Young Master Kang’s uncle had once briefly governed Bashu. All he needed to do was give the word, and those liquor companies would certainly submit without resistance.

The Greater China region had originally been Baidu’s backyard. Then Sogou, like a barbarian, suddenly forced its way in. If it were allowed to develop freely, it would gradually devour the search market.

“This is the elixir of immortality? Wonderful!” Zhou Shen was far less impulsive and excited than Qin Fen, but even so, he remained unable to calm down for a long while.

More than a year... At that time, she had not yet given herself to him, had she? Why, then, had he begun planning his proposal a year earlier? Could he really have known the future?

In the game, each class could be played in many different ways, and there were far more skills than in previous games. The dungeon environments were complicated, with most instances designed for ten or twenty-five players, so typing was no longer enough. Players came from all over the world, while using the telephone was hardly practical.

But this was ancient times, after all. Liu Yang’s wife was not a prostitute from a brothel. If she were asked to take the upper position, she would probably die of shame.

“What’s wrong, Grandpa? What exactly happened?” Seeing the unusual expression on my grandfather’s face, I was terrified as well. My normally composed grandfather had actually become like this.

“As expected, you’re a technical player.” Qin Fen felt that his movements were as smooth as flowing water, as though he had climbed to the top in the blink of an eye.

“Brother-in-law, this money was clearly given to me by my wife. Why, then, is the county magistrate accusing me of stealing government funds?” Xu Xian looked at his brother-in-law.

Qin Fen could more or less guess that this driver had been chosen by Ye Tinghao to guide him.

“Computer, at the speed we worked today, can we finish the first level within three days?” Chen Junyi asked a question that Number Ninety-One had also been deeply concerned about at the time.

“How arrogant!” Qin Chuan reached out to seize Mo Xi. Qin Xiao was just about to charge forward when a palm struck him from behind. Qin Xiao was sent flying and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The reason Ke Hanzhi had Lang Yiba and the others guarding the entrance to the thatched hall was not because he cared whether they understood military affairs. He simply wanted them to put on a look of panic and flee for their lives.

Hearing Xia Taoyun’s near-hysterical sobs, Ning Hao rubbed his forehead. As expected, even villains had their match.

It was truly tragic. Liu Chong felt desolate just looking at it. Seeing the sparse pedestrians in the city, all of them pale and emaciated, he felt ever more strongly that this world was desperately in need of peace.
