Chapter 77: Zhou Guoping Arrives in Heyue City
"I can, I can," the man shouted loudly, desperate.
"So, will you jump down yourself, or shall I send you?" Cao Bin asked calmly.
"I can do it myself, I can," the man said, and without another word, he leapt from the speedboat into the water.
...
Upon learning that this was Ling Xiao's instruction, there was no further delay. Finding an excuse, he headed straight to Ji Qiu's room.
Qin Jingyu entered, only to see Mu Yunfeng sitting comfortably on the chaise lounge, holding a brocade-embroidered shoe in his hand, examining it closely again and again. Amber stood quietly by his side, attending to him.
Lin Chen's expression grew cold; if his guess was correct… it must be that Feng Yu had come to stir trouble. Now, he would see if the Lord of Maple City was a man who could tell right from wrong.
"Master, I want to know when the government will issue the policy," Yang Wei asked bluntly as soon as he entered the room.
Four Fruits must have asked Old Xu something, for Three Fruits and the others saw on the surveillance that Old Xu was clearly shaking his head in disagreement. Four Fruits breathed on his fingers, raised them high, and snapped them with a "pop" right onto Old Xu's forehead.
If a person harbors guilt toward heaven and earth, a single glance at celestial might will weigh upon them. Perhaps they live each day in fear, confused and uncertain. But who was Fang Ze? Celestial might could sway the hearts of ordinary men, but could it affect his?
Lingering at the Laundry Bureau for all these hours was something Qing Yun had never anticipated. Had she known the situation she would face, would she have ever regretted it?
The God of the Underworld flew onward, secretly amused. This time, he had resolved a crisis, and although capturing Ding Yu alive might not benefit him directly, it was better than being injured or killed.
The stock index continued to climb, and Glamour Shares soared with it. Yang Wei and his partner kept adding buy orders below; in theory, this was a passive buying strategy, not an aggressive attack, but it was a technique many big players used. It exhausted the retail traders without them noticing—a highly effective method.
The next morning, Yang Wei handed the painstakingly written trading plan to Liu Yanqing. Liu Yanqing, wearing reading glasses, examined it carefully, then calculated it with an old abacus, beads clicking swiftly. At last, he nodded, expressing his deep appreciation.
But today, Liu Ying broke her usual pattern. She joined hands with Lady Bian and Madam Liu Yang to plot against Madam Liu Fang.
Hathaway's expression was complicated. The words were indeed hers, but she felt that Jin Fugui seemed to have misunderstood her meaning.
Yet, if someone looked closely before passing by, they would notice a chilling aura seeping from Nie Feng's wounds. The cold was faint, barely visible, but present nonetheless.
"This is an open scheme; Zhang Jiao has no choice but to try it. He fears he won't be able to withstand our attack if we besiege the city. What a pity about the cloud-ladder carts we crafted," Guo Dian said regretfully.
"Mimi, Xin'er doesn't have to marry Xu Weixin anymore. Shouldn't you feel happy for your sister?" Xu Qiumei said.
"Qin Yu greets the senior! May I ask how I should address you?" Qin Yu took a deep breath, cupped his hands respectfully, and spoke. Facing such a mysterious figure, he dared not show the slightest disrespect. Whether or not the man was Zhu Huang, he was certainly one of the most powerful beings in the world. Especially from that palm imprint, Qin Yu sensed an entire universe within.
Jiyu Ying hugged Lu Zikai, bursting with joy, almost as if she wanted to toss the child up to the heavens. Song Qingcheng hadn't participated in many of the games herself; most were tightly guarded, so she could only watch from afar, telling herself that it was just fate conspiring against her.
"So it was you, girl. I thought there was a thief!" Seeing the graceful silhouette behind me, my anxious heart finally relaxed.
