Volume 1, Chapter 126: Li Ruochu Searches for Someone at the Airport

Li Ruochu’s thoughts were instantly dragged back to that heart-pounding kidnapping incident.

Wrapped in a barbarian-style robe steeped in dragon-brain incense, he watched Hualuo continually add firewood to the flames. The corner of his mouth unconsciously lifted into a lonely smile, and he slowly drifted off to sleep.

Yue Yinqing pursed her lips and walked over to the shopping bags. After glancing at them, she wore a look of disdain.

Tong Doudou returned to her seat and first checked the rendered images she had completed the day before. Once she had organized them, she sent them to Jiang Xue.

In her previous life, she had believed herself to be the legitimate princess beloved by both her imperial father and mother, and had therefore been somewhat naive.

“This matter…” Emperor Zhu found himself in a difficult position. Since the Imperial Guards were the final line of defense protecting the imperial city, choosing their commander had always been of the utmost importance. The person had to possess genuine ability while harboring not the slightest selfish ambition toward the throne. If he truly replaced the commander, Emperor Zhu could not think of a suitable candidate on the spot.

Then he drew his tactical pistol. After thinking for a moment, he let out a soft breath. Suddenly, he gave his hand a violent shake, and as he did so, he whipped the pistol sideways. The magazine flew out at once.

A cloud of green smoke rose into the air. Beside them, a spearman poured an entire jar of corrosive acid over the troll. Bubbles instantly erupted across its body, and its flesh visibly blackened into charcoal. Only then could the troll be considered truly dead.

Tong Doudou poured herself a glass of water. After taking a sip, she began contacting Jane and the manager of Marco Tile Shop.

As for the grudge between Yankuang and the Sakurada Company, Li Weidong could not be bothered to concern himself with it. When a matter did not affect him, it was best to keep his distance; avoiding trouble was better than inviting more of it.

The Japanese man merely extended his hand and turned his palm upward. A sphere of blue energy appeared in his grasp.

Although he had missed an opportunity, it had only been an ordinary one. The core industries of the Shu Xinghuo family were still hotels and construction, while technological ventures were not the family’s forte.

When he stepped onto the final stair, Baili Gou still maintained the identity of a Confucian scholar and offered this disciple of the Confucian Saint a grand bow.

This endgame seemed to mirror the situation around the capital: chaotic and dangerous. One careless move could easily undo all previous efforts and result in total defeat.

Shang Kezhong fell to his knees with a savage expression, glaring fiercely at Jiang Li. He had already made up his mind to tear off all pretense if necessary.

Just then, a thunderous crash came from the club’s entrance, and three arrogant figures appeared before everyone.

The red-pole enforcers from the Fourteenth Hall who had been locked up knew very well that Ning Ren had come to look after his brothers. They absolutely could not allow anyone else to cause Ning Ren trouble. Anyone who dared make a sound would be beaten first and questioned later.

Old Huang reached out and demanded it. He had no other tricks left and could only grasp at this final straw.

“Then what exactly do you want me to do?” Xu Xinuo knew perfectly well that pies did not fall from the sky. The man must want something from him.

Unfortunately, Duobao currently possessed no method for severing corpses. Thus, although the benevolent thought residing in his sea of consciousness could not depart, the compassion and loyalty filling his heart now burst forth, and the Possessed Corpse could not withstand it at all.

“The theme this time is spring, but your lyrics did not make me feel any element of spring whatsoever.”

The game continued. After the large red flower was passed around several times, it landed in Tang Mu’s hands, and everyone immediately turned their eyes toward him.

In truth, Mister Da had never mentioned teaching me how to play Bird-Feather Ghost Chess. But considering Master Ji’s explanation of Ghost Chess, if Mister Da had truly said he would pass Ghost Chess on to me, he must have meant that I was to inherit his legacy.

“Enough nonsense. Fight!” At that moment, Su Bai pointed his sword at Su Mingfei and spoke in a cold voice.
