Chapter 50: Postscript to the Tiger Case (1)
As a female police officer, Lin Nan was dedicated to protecting women and possessed a sharp insight. "Chang Rui, shut your mouth! The ugly expression you wore just now completely exposed your true murderous motive. If you truly cared for your younger brother, you wouldn't have touched his girlfriend. You are simply doing the bidding of Guangsheng Real Estate!"
To everyone's astonishment, Chang Rui remained extremely arrogant. "It's not the first time I've slept with my brother's girlfriend!"
The crowd gasped in shock: "..."
This was yet another remark that completely shattered their worldview! This was a—
With a resounding boom, the ferocious beast, more massive and robust than an elephant, shot out like a cannonball for hundreds of yards, charging straight toward the rolling, towering waves.
"Really?" Bai Su asked in a faint voice. "You're not lying to me?" Do cultivators even need CPR? Her mental state was extremely poor, somewhat resembling a final burst of lucidity before death.
"With so many corpse-puppets of yours chasing an ordinary human, if there's no trick behind this, who would believe it!" The tree demon chuckled coldly.
Sensing the wind, heat, and colors in the atmosphere, she knew it was the army of Dhaubney, numbering tens of thousands, or perhaps even over a hundred thousand soldiers.
The next moment, another young man was sent flying, struck fiercely across the face by Ye Feng. The crisp, resounding slap was strikingly clear, while the young man's face instantly swelled up into half a pig's head, spitting out three white teeth stained with dazzling, glaring blood.
Dugu Teng felt rather depressed. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he quietly slipped out of the dessert shop, took out his phone, and made a call.
Upon stepping out of the domain, the old man and his companions found themselves back in the building where they had previously kept watch over Lily. It was somewhat later in the evening, and there were far fewer people around. For a moment, the old man's breathing grew heavy. His heart felt even heavier.
The towering ancient trees were also caught up in this heaven-shaking commotion, igniting one after another until they resembled burning trees of fire.
"Uncle Ao! No matter what you say this time, you are not allowed to sneak away again. We must repay you for your kindness to us," Jallanord said with a completely serious expression.
Ye Nanxian looked up. At this moment, Fang Qingwei, who was holding her close, had pitch-black hair that took on a golden sheen under the illumination of the fire. Specks of vermilion fluorescence, akin to sparks, materialized out of thin air and drifted in all directions. She only felt a sudden, all-encompassing warmth, and the chilling coldness of the towering water waves completely vanished.
"Brother! I truly know I was wrong. Please don't tell Father and Mother about this." Shen Yuan knelt on one leg, clutching his thigh and weeping as she begged for mercy.
The remaining people stood below the steps, gazing up at Elder Cang Yan, and after a long moment, they burst into uninhibited laughter.
When the incident occurred, apart from the local residents, there were also numerous rogue cultivators and disciples from various factions within the city. Such a massive commotion naturally could not be hidden from them.
The fans in the live stream felt slightly disappointed, but seeing that their idol was living a very happy life, they were able to accept it.
Ji Manrou glared at me with deep resentment, wanting to say something, but I didn't give her the opportunity. I shoved her forcefully out the door, pulled it shut, and slammed it shut with a loud bang.
Producing public research reports yields no financial return in the beginning, nor do corresponding buy-side institutions open up their data and information—it is an extremely unprofitable endeavor.
"Wang Nuo helped a lot with that as well," Tao Hui recalled how Chen Lifang looked at Wang Nuo in a new light, and immediately chimed in to try and help.
"It was expected, what is there to be angry about?" From the very beginning, she knew the imperial court could never truly take action against Chu Qianyun and the others.
"Finally got rid of this beast," Xiao Jiekai said, panting heavily, his voice laden with exhaustion and a sense of relief.
"Lele, think carefully for yourself. Holding onto this much gold will sooner or later spell disaster for you. As long as people find out, who wouldn't be envious? Even these old gentlemen are no exception, let alone anyone else. The only fortunate thing is that not many people know about this," Lu Song said.
"I still have some matters to attend to!" Gu Ning had received a call from Wang Zheng while she was keeping company with Han Pianqian, and Wang Zheng was asking to meet her right now to talk.
