Chapter 96: Zhou Qiner Is the Proprietress

Di Yunshen had nothing much to do, so he glanced at the surveillance monitor and noticed they were gathered together eating. At first, there was no sound, but then he accidentally turned on the audio, hearing them chatter on about President Zhou and so on.

A bad feeling crept into his heart—just as he feared.

Immediately, he messaged Su Qingli. Thankfully, Su Qingli replied quickly, but—gossip?

Zhuzi’s voice was hoarse from shouting, and the swelling on his face made one’s heart ache with distress.

This was the situation I least wanted to see, yet fate conspired so neatly that I happened to run into Zhao Xin, who was just there to buy snacks.

If things really were as my mother said, then my departure this time would surely leave Sister Gu heartbroken. But why would she like me? I’ve never felt anything like that myself.

I thought about it for a long time and decided not to ask for leave through the club. The safest course was to tell Brother Chen about it—because if I told Sister Yu'er, she might try to persuade me to reconsider, but if I told Brother Chen and made my position clear enough, perhaps he would support me.

Seeing Ming Yilian speak like that, Zhu Yalan no longer asked any questions and started eating again.

The moment he heard that following Young Master Jing could make him rich, Huang Qiyao immediately abandoned his plans for a protest in America, diverted the gang’s funds, and invested them in the stock market. Brotherhood was important, but could it fill one’s belly? The brothers of Green Island would simply have to endure a few tough days.

Duanmu Jie knew well that Chen Feng’s questioning of Li Hao was simply a search for a reason—a reason to kill Li Hao, disregarding her feelings and the losses the country might suffer from Li Hao’s death.

She turned her head away, then, feeling odd, turned back to stare at him, as if daring him to a contest to see who would smile first.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot from afar onto the stage, illuminating Nicole. With a leap, Nicole jumped from the railing above the stage, and two steel wires instantly caught her midair.

Because the team was newly formed, their match opponents were all of low rank, making victory effortless.

Pedestrians walked in small groups along the road. Wang Qiu strolled along the smooth concrete path, flanked by expanses of unknown flowers in full bloom. The sky was awash in vivid orange hues, and a hint of coolness lingered in the evening air—it was truly pleasant.

Situ Li, Murong Die, and Seven Sins hurried to Han Xiaoli’s side, surrounding her protectively.

Seeing the red dot, Long Fei took a screenshot and sent it to his master, Long Ruoxi. He also sent a copy to Han Group via their content management software.

Nearly all the beasts in the assessment arena had been trained. The moment the mutant beast appeared, the others reacted instantly, launching into a fierce battle with it.

“Something important?” Liu Haoran gently gripped the fragment in his hand, murmuring thoughtfully with his head lowered.

His heart gave a sudden jolt—a feeling of emptiness he’d never known before, as if he were about to lose something.

At that moment, Murong Die, Die Soul, and Murong Wan’er had already engaged those opponents in combat.

Yang Fei’s reputation was formidable. All the officials present today were high-ranking; Chang’an was the capital, the most prosperous city on the continent.

“What do you think?” Jing Sheng Susu, having wasted so much time here, showed no kindness in her expression. If she was going to play the role of lady, she’d do it properly, temper and all—the essence of the part, and she happened to be simmering with anger.

An Tiantian was positioned right beneath the bud of the exotic flower, held tightly in Mo Chen’s arms. The surrounding tangled vines blocked the way, creating a protected space that kept others at bay.
