Chapter 109: A False Alarm?

For some reason, Ye Cheng already felt a twinge of displeasure whenever Zhang Wenyue was looked at by other men.

The arrival of Yue Ma gave the two heads of the Liu family renewed hope. Just moments ago, they still harbored some apprehension, but now the situation was entirely different.

“Brother Yue! Please, save my brother first!”

Although the two were still vying for the position of family head, the younger brother Liu Xingchuan actually...

Before he could reach the doorway, Zhao Zhen, his face covered in blood, suddenly charged forward with a fierce flying kick, accompanied by a gust of wind.

“Everyone, since you’re here, let’s eat first. But the dishes might not be enough, so please wait a little while.” Wang He placed the food on the table and returned to the kitchen. Three minutes later, he came out with two more plates and had steamed extra rice.

As the station chief, Chen Zhan was grinning from ear to ear. He never imagined that after just two rounds of airing a single xianxia drama, he would earn over four billion dollars, which filled him with pride. He even called Xiao Yunhai several times in excitement.

“You villain, such a story is unheard of! You must have made it all up!” Bi’er wiped her tears while punching Lu Liang a few times with her small fists.

It must be understood that He Zhiyuan’s outburst was sudden. He was so close to Laughing Proudly at Heaven, and everyone present was still stunned by his defeat in a single move. They hadn’t yet recovered their composure.

Looking back at the villa behind her, for some reason, she let out a long sigh of relief in her heart, as if trying to expel something from within, though she wasn’t sure if she succeeded.

“Low-grade Heavenly Artifact battle armor!” Upon learning that Yun Tianyu might be wearing a precious low-grade Heavenly Artifact suit, Wu Baiding’s gaze at Yun Tianyu grew intense. He summoned two bronze cauldrons and unleashed the full power of his Three Cauldron Earth Technique, controlling the bronze cauldrons to launch a fierce attack on Yun Tianyu.

Wait a moment! Could it be that Wang Yue and the others are stabbing me in the back!? Lu Liang shuddered inwardly.

“Hehe...” The policeman chuckled, then took out a box of Yuxi cigarettes and passed it to Old Bian through a gap in the restroom. Old Bian quickly thanked him and then handed the cigarettes back.

Honestly, I almost admire myself now. After everything that’s happened—past and present grudges—I suppose I can finally consider my karmic debts settled.

Bing Ji quickly nodded and left. That night, Liu Bing issued a decree to release Chun Yu Yan. Those imprisoned because of the empress’s affairs were to be investigated by Bing Ji; if found innocent, they were to be released and compensated with settlement funds. The Court Prosecutor’s Office was also ordered to refrain from using cruel interrogation methods.

Gongxi Wanwan seemed to be holding back a laugh but remained silent; Ren Yue scolded Lin Yin, saying, “If you have something to say, say it tonight. Stop leading the way ahead.” Lin Yin guessed the bride shouldn’t speak and hurriedly replied, “Alright, alright,” then led the way. Outside, a red carpet had already been laid from the courtyard to beyond the gate.

Upon getting out of the car again, we were more cautious. Yuan Shao first circled the area and, finding nothing unusual, then got out.

By the beautiful lakeside, an elderly man with white hair was leisurely fishing. It seemed like an unusual day. His gaze was somewhat vacant as he stared at the calm surface of the lake. Though it appeared still, the fish nearby were startled and fled, perhaps sensing the turmoil within the old man’s heart.

No fire was ignited. Lin Yin grew increasingly anxious, as restless and panicked as when trapped underground. A heavy stone seemed to press down on her chest, suffocating her. Having traversed the subterranean chamber countless times, she tried to find her way out, intending to push aside the stone statue at the entrance.

I still hesitated—not because I doubted my ability to complete the task within the deadline, but because being Mi Lan’s assistant was truly a torment.

“Who entered the harem?” The only piece of good news was that Liu had learned someone from our harem was in the hands of the police. This might be their turning point.
