Chapter 164: I Am Not a Good-for-Nothing Like Su Boyong

Shen Wanqian spoke, a faint curve of genuine joy tracing her lips.

“You investigated me?”

Ye Cheng felt a sharp pang in his heart. He thought: This is not good. Could it be that this person has uncovered my past? I’ve kept those matters secret for three years. If he finds out, who knows what he might think.

...

Zhao Yuan, citing her poor health after childbirth, refused to accompany her to any banquet that required a couple’s joint appearance. Using his busy schedule as an excuse, he never took her out except to accompany the child. Only when her parents—Zhao Yuan’s in-laws—came to visit did she receive a few days of his care and tenderness.

Though I suspect his mansion must be close to the imperial palace, in the four directions—east, south, west, and north—I truly do not know which path to choose.

“Does this security checkpoint need repairs?” Evgeny suddenly remembered something and quickly asked a nearby soldier.

All of them hoped Ji Min could exchange this child for Chen’s vitality, so any consolation sounded pale and powerless.

Mu Sicheng raised his arm, and the ashtray on the table flew toward Feng Niannian. She immediately supported herself on the table to dodge and caught the ashtray, but her wrist tingled from the impact.

Speaking of those past events, Chu Hongtao’s eyes flickered. How could he ever forget? Chu Jingsa’s attitude toward him over the years had already said everything, making sure he never forgot what had happened back then.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of a key unlocking came. A beam of light shone through, and a blanket and a loaf of bread were thrown inside. Then something hit the ground—a hot water bottle, the kind used to warm hands. Zhao Yuan understood that tomorrow should be foolproof.

Just after finishing matters at the great river, merchant Sun also arrived, instructing Shi Sheng to weigh, cut, and soak pieces in salted water.

Murong Qin saw Qiao Wei’s fury; it was as if he was enveloped in a black mist, like a blazing fire about to explode, sparks flying everywhere.

The tall man stepped forward, helped Zhao Youtian up, patted his shoulder with a pained expression, and silently returned to the ranks.

This was the first time after Xue Dong was released by Mu Xiaofeng that he encountered Zhou Qimin again. Instantly, his face twisted with clenched teeth and rage. Zhou Qimin had treated himself and senior brother Wu Liyi as cannon fodder; in the end, senior brother died, and he himself barely escaped death. Naturally, he was furious.

In the distance, the ancient demigods of Mount Olympus, locked in fierce battle with two powerful monkey demons, also took notice of the fight around Achilles. Seeing Achilles fight with reckless abandon, their pupils suddenly contracted sharply.

More strangely, beside the snake saliva vine, there was a four to five-meter-long black snake, its dripping saliva constantly seeping into the vine’s roots.

“Snake Bro, what is this Yiyan Security Company all about?” Wang Hailong asked, puzzled upon seeing the large sign.

From afar, seeing Jing Hui and the other two approaching, Ci’e immediately wore an extremely enthusiastic expression, speaking loudly and appearing utterly respectful and fearful.

Though Hu Dianchen’s intelligence division was now under their command, the funds generated in enemy-occupied areas had to be reinvested in the intelligence department’s development, leaving very little capital available.

“Let’s go in. Why hesitate? We’re here to make money.” Zhou Zekai grabbed Tang Bingyu’s hand and moved inside. Suddenly realizing there might be many people today, he wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close with the best protective gesture, and led her inside.

Currently, the Everlasting Sun was managed by Leopard, while Zuo Batian personally oversaw Yiyan Jewelry Company.

Consort Hui was not a meddlesome type, but seeing Consort Tong’s behavior, she felt displeased. Consort Tong always acted aloof and avoided their company. What was the meaning of her attitude today? Did she think that because they flattered the empress, she could remain aloof and unyielding?
