Chapter 65: The Professor's Wife-Killing Case (14)
Upon hearing this, Xiaoman urged, "Quickly tell me, what secret does she have?"
The stray cat, having eaten its fill, let out a burp and lay basking its belly on the grass: [After Xiaobao's intelligence was impaired, Duan Mei pushed him out to get some sun. Looking at him, she pinched his arm and said that he had ruined her dream of marrying into wealth, and even blurted out that he wasn't Tang Zheng's biological son! In the state Xiaobao is in now, even his real father wouldn't want him if he found out!]
Even Xiaoman was extremely shocked upon hearing this news.
Tang Zheng—
Li Yuming and Cui Yuyang turned out to be close friends? She found this quite surprising. How did such a rough and boorish fellow manage to cozy up to someone like Li Yuming?
Opening the door to find Jin Liping standing there, Lu Chexiao's expression darkened like water, and with a loud "bang," he slammed the door shut.
"Mr. Ye, I was presumptuous. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against an old man like me." After a brief silence, Elder Liu bowed directly to Ye Leng and spoke, his tone already tinged with a hint of awe.
Returning to the garrison and washing away the dust of the journey, Yu Panpan crawled onto her bed and fell fast asleep, while Lu Run and the others had to arrange the aftermath: although that outpost had been blown to pieces, it was inevitable that traces might be detected. They had to prepare themselves for retaliation, starting with stepping up patrols along the border and hastily constructing defensive fortifications overnight.
"Very well, Young Master Gu, please take good care of your health." Xu Meiyu cupped her hands in a salute to him, then turned and left with her father.
"Right, right, let's not get mixed up in this anymore." Cui Xionming chimed in to support, though he didn't dare look at Xu Meiyu, out of fear for her.
Ye Leng put down his phone with a helpless sigh. Well, it seemed that this time, Lin Na was deliberately trying to avoid him.
Looking around, the location chosen for the site was truly marvelous, hidden among the terraced fields in the jungle of the Pakerisan valley on the east side of Ubud. Upon stepping into the hotel's courtyard, it felt as though a gate to another world had been closed, opening up a blissful fairy-tale retreat for a few days.
Furthermore, the principal of No. 1 Middle School was more than eager for their class to hold a reunion, preferably with the venue set right on campus, luring back the young high-achievers led by Xu Suizhen to visit their alma mater. Perhaps, once they were flattered into high spirits and chatting away merrily, someone would loosen their tongue and donate some experimental equipment or computers to the school... That was why she had been sought out as the former class monitor to initiate the event.
To be honest, Xu Suizhen hadn't deliberately kept anything from everyone, otherwise she wouldn't have invited them over to her house for a gathering.
Uncle Zhang was eating a chicken drumstick while drinking wine, occasionally glancing at the pretty girl sitting opposite him who was eating her food with trembling hands.
Back at the office, Lin Chen saw that Ting'ier's eyes were slightly red as she diligently organized the group's internal documents.
Since Lin Ling's injuries were now practically fine, Song Linyu naturally had to follow his previous plan and continue completing the missions assigned to him by the system.
Right after that, a burst of bloody light exploded, and the figures of several people who had been dodging in the air reappeared, except that the person who had just swung the cloak had been cleaved in two, his corpse and blood splashing all over the ground.
At nine o'clock that evening, Magic City TV announced on Weibo that Song Longliang would be appearing at the Magic City TV New Year's Eve Gala.
The few shops that had managed to open their doors were crammed with people outside, and the crowds on the streets pushed and shoved against one another while being drenched in the rain.
Sensing someone walking into the room, Can Ye had already opened his eyes long ago. However, upon seeing that the newcomer was Lin Chen, Can Ye closed his eyes back up, lay back on the chair, and did not utter a single word.
Are you kidding me? Frostrock City had held numerous matches before, and when was it ever not Rauola who took home the crown? For her to step into the arena now—wasn't everyone just asking to be tortured?
"You can't look at him right now. If he comes out of this body, the two of us won't even need to bother fighting this battle," Da Xia said, supporting Hu Si as they walked over.
Hearing the noises outside gradually subside, Ye Sichen finally released his hand that had been covering Wen Wanqiu's mouth, and their eyes met, instantly revealing the awkwardness of the situation.
Hearing this sound, Wang Yong's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly reached out to pull the person closest to him over.
Screech~~ A harsh screeching sound of brakes immediately followed, and the Citroen sedan executed a 360-degree spin on the grass beside the road, sending leaves and mud flying far into the distance.
