Chapter 54: The Professor's Wife-Killing Case (3)

As the heavily made-up woman spoke, someone nearby agreed and added some thoughts of their own.

"Li Wei has her own dance studio, and she teaches students how to dance. She makes good money, I heard hundreds of thousands a month! Her professor husband only makes twenty or thirty thousand a month, not even a fraction of hers. If you ask me, it was just a man jealous of his young, beautiful, and high-earning wife, driven by resentment to murder her."

"It's bad enough that the man couldn't make money, but an old man who doesn't even know how to cherish—"

"Elder Di, what do you mean?" Gu Jinxi twirled the spiritual talisman in her hand, looking at the old man before her and asking.

Li Jiayu clicked to open it and saw her past, foolish self in the airport parking lot, singing "If You're Happy and You Know It, Clap Your Hands," followed by Duan Weiqi's bizarre rendition of "Two Tigers." It was so embarrassing.

"Elder Dong, besides the Golden Club, what other factions exist in Huanghai?" Zhang Jialiang still wanted to extract some useful information from Elder Dong and his son.

"Gu Jinxi, what are you doing!" Teacher Zhu barked, her expression turning extremely gloomy.

Abandon her support for Celine? Was it Duke who conveyed the message to the council for her? It had to be. Perhaps Samuel had directly told Geyu to stop investigating, yet he refused to stop.

After a quick shower, the two of them put on rabbit costumes together. Li Jiayu kept bursting into laughter; from the moment Duan Weiqi put on the rabbit ears, she laughed so hard she couldn't straighten up, earning a severe warning from Duan Weiqi's gaze. The clothes that should have taken two minutes to put on took a full ten minutes because of Li Jiayu's antics.

The consequence of the Black Phoenix's personality taking over the body was precisely this. Everything she said and did was driven purely by primal instincts—either to reproduce or to destroy the world. This gave Wu Yue a tremendous headache, yet since he was the one who had brought this upon himself, he couldn't just ignore it.

"Oh, Governor Yan, I happen to run into some friends from the capital right here at Xinchu Restaurant!" Zhang Jialiang felt it wouldn't be right to ditch this group of friends, but neither could he refuse the Vice Governor's invitation, so he could only reply this way.

"When have I ever disrespected you? I always speak with reason." Li Jiayu's voice grew louder as well.

Passing through the narrow cave opening, the three of them entered a vast expanse. Inside this massive hall, a bone-chilling cold permeated the air. The empty hall featured only a high platform several meters tall, standing towering in the exact center.

He still wore the leopard mask, a pair of pitch-black eyes staring fixedly at him through the eyeholes without blinking.

The people around them shrieked in terror and turned to run, none of them expecting the three great families to be so ruthless as to make a direct move.

"President Mi, my parents took me to the countryside to visit a patient, and I'm not sure when we'll be back. Is there something you need?" Pei Ling feigned innocence and asked with a smile.

Feng Lingxue took it and first opened the lid to sniff it. The familiar scent brought a spontaneous smile to her lips.

Proposing once more—she still remembered when they had first met, when he bought her a diamond ring and placed it on her finger.

Qiu Yan answered honestly; only after arriving in the capital did she truly understand what it meant to be surrounded by danger on all sides.

The swordsman turned pale, desperately holding his sword vertical as he drove his internal energy to the absolute limit, attempting to forcefully block this blade.

Ning Feng nodded. Sun Miao's condition was already deeply etched in his mind; now that the medicinal herbs had been found, treatment would be effortless.

"It wasn't a major issue to begin with, and none of us expected that as these things became intertwined, it would turn out like this..." Speaking up to this point, Gu Gesang also looked somewhat helpless. Her original intention was simply to track down A Sha and let A Sha re-enter Ji Yuan's body.

She could clearly feel that as she moved through the snow, her steps were light, as if she were drifting. Although her footprints remained in the sand, her internal energy had increased vastly compared to the previous time. At that time, she could not yet comprehend what kind of miraculous power her master's recited mystical incantation had embedded into her spiritual core.
