37 The Dog from the Family Massacre Case

Long Sixteen appeared quite excited as he gave the team leader a dashing salute. "Yes, understood, Team Leader." He took the documents from the leader's hand and turned to walk out of the conference room.

It was hard to explain why, but Gu Xixi felt remarkably at ease whenever she was with Professor Sun. They could talk about anything from campus life to current social affairs without a single awkward silence. Professor Sun was gentle and considerate, much like an older brother, and Gu Xixi felt safe enough to share anything with him.

She could not understand it; she might have understood someone plagiarizing her work four or five years ago, but now that the person was a protégé of Greve—a master of his generation—could he not teach her better than that?

Zhang Xiao could not help but feel expectant. If a ten-meter artificial wall gave him such a great sense of accomplishment, what about climbing the nearly four-hundred-meter Bread Mountain? Zhang Xiao dared not even imagine it.

Then there was Anthony. Su Xia had wanted to have a proper talk with him, but he had not visited the hospital again. Mrs. Robin said that Lady Bertha had been hospitalized due to a poor reaction to the local climate, and he was too tied up taking care of her to leave.

Because of the devastating impact of Gu Xixi’s situation, Gu’s mother had been sent to Dr. Qiao’s hospital by Lou Kuan under Chen Jiran’s orders, which would also make it easier to care for her.

I smiled. If I hadn't seen him here this time, was he planning to make me come here to buy breakfast again tomorrow?

"I am sorry, Mr. Qin." Although Chang Shan felt indignant, he had no choice but to lower his head at that moment.

I certainly understood why they called Su Mo and me madmen. It was simply because Su Mo chose me over his own legs, and I chose Su Mo over the antidote, my own life, and everything else.

Elder Enya glanced around the Demon Realm. From the moment she stepped into it, she felt a familiar aura, yet she could not decipher exactly what it was.

From that day on, dark undercurrents surged throughout the city of Tianhai, waiting for the right moment to stir up a storm.

The Divine Prince and Long Wanyu secretly cheered Chu Yang on. Everyone’s hopes were pinned on him; as long as he protected Feng Wu this time, they would promote Chu Yang to Chief Bodyguard.

Hu Qing walked over to the sandalwood cabinet, reached out to take down a porcelain jar, pulled out a pineapple candy, and popped it into her mouth.

Feng Chengjin threw himself onto the recliner sofa, lost in thought. After a pause, perhaps finding he could not sleep that way, he opened a large bottle of liquor and drank himself into a stupor, gulping it down before pulling over an ashtray and smoking an entire pack of cigarettes before finally falling asleep.

Vulture really did not care for the treasures within the City Lord’s mansion. Most of the wealth consisted of spirit stones; while they might be essential to other cultivators, they were useless to one at the Ascension Realm, serving only as currency. And with Vulture’s status, would he ever be short of spirit stones?

"Second Young Master..." Hu Qing looked up, her face flushed, her large eyes shining brightly as she stared intently at the man’s phoenix eyes.

Even when they met, she no longer felt the intense desire to stay by Yu Che’s side as she once had; watching from a distance was enough.

A few minutes later, Han Yixue shyly pushed Xiao Tao away, then pulled him into the hall to sit on the comfortable sofa, where the two huddled closely together, chatting warmly.

An invisible force surged forth, the sky suddenly darkened, and a black domain shrouded the entire Three Tiger Gang estate.

"...I cannot make this decision on my own. I must go back and consult the others!" Rui La remained silent for a long time before suppressing his killing intent; he feared he might lose control and strike out. After a long exhale, he spoke.

The master had ordered him to keep watch, and if the prisoner truly escaped, the master would settle all previous scores with him. Uncle Kun looked troubled, but out of fear of Xue Hua, he dared not be too harsh with Chu Yun.

It was called an apartment, but it was actually a luxurious suite with opulent decor. The wine cabinet alone held hundreds of bottles, each one quite expensive, to say nothing of the high cost of the rest of the furnishings.

The car window rolled down, revealing that long-lost, familiar face. When Xi Bai saw it, the corners of her eyes and brows turned icy.

"Why are you here? Who brought me to this place?" Luo Chiheng asked coldly.

Yu Chuchu bought breakfast by the roadside. After arriving at the company, she quickly changed into a professional suit.

Consequently, Emperor Qianlong did something that even surprised himself: he sent people to meddle in the Zhou family’s business, causing trouble in Jiangnan. This forced Zhou Qian, who had just arrived in the capital and had not yet met Xiao Yan—who was on duty in the palace—to rush back to Jiangnan to handle the sudden emergency.

Song Jianan looked displeased but nodded anyway. Chu Yun wrote down her license plate number and attached her mobile phone number to it.

Chu Yun’s bean-like eyes darted back and forth between Jiang Hongtao, who was exiting the car, and Jiang Jinyan, who was sitting beside her. Jiang Jinyan was a master of putting on airs, and he had no intention of restraining himself even in front of his own father.

Although the Ice Absolute Immortal Venerable was currently focused only on competing with Old Man Feng, he sat down after hearing what the Barbarian King said.

"Zhu Qi, I think you look normal like this, heh heh!" Gao Jin patted Zhu Qi on the shoulder and nodded at him.
