Chapter 40: Kneel and Beg Me!

Soon, Ye Chen arrived at the hospital. Dr. Liu had something urgent to deal with and would need a while before he could come. Ye Chen decided to check on Wang Hai’s condition first, so he followed the location Dr. Liu had provided and came to the door of VIP room 008. At the door, two men from the Wang family stood guard. They recognized Ye Chen immediately—after all, they had accompanied Wang Hai that day when he went to the Ye family to cause trouble.

...

Recently, there was a project at the company that, as usual, required the legal department to assess the legal risks and then submit a report for the higher-ups to sign off. Confronted with this power, he felt that even the slightest misstep could spell instant doom. Or rather, since Ye Rou could remember, Qin Tianming had cared for her more than anyone else.

Each person delivered their official lines, but by the end, even the squad leader couldn’t help but laugh, and soon they were speaking frankly, drawing the two sides much closer. Xinyue had heard that the secondary consort had been confined, and realized there must be hidden reasons, which helped her suppress her impatience as she followed Wang Duan. Upon arrival, she was startled to see the Fourteenth Prince lying on the couch, pale-faced and lips white. After questioning Wang Duan, she surmised that the prince was likely suffering from low blood sugar.

The scandalous video of Gong Xueyuan with another man had been filmed by Liang Jinshang, but was ultimately released by Nanfang Construction’s official social media account. Xiang Yunsheng turned to Murong Yi and the others and said, “Just like those at the Buddhist temple, we will form a spirit vessel with my Buddhist Daoist power at its center, and cross the sea together!” Murong Yi and the others nodded slightly, then followed Xiang Yunsheng out, stepping through the temple gates.

Shaking his head, Jiang Guohua sighed, hoping everything would go smoothly and Jiang Ning would be able to recognize them at last. If Shang Yucheng really had saved Liang Jinshang, why had Liang never mentioned it all this time?

Their eyes met, and Shan Siyan felt a sudden brightness before her, her anger instantly vanishing, and she began to examine Yan Liang carefully. Li Er’s body was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily to the ground, never to rise again.

Although IG’s lineup had only Luo as the sole initiator, lacking a hero like Kennan whose ultimate ability could decide the fate of a team fight, everything was, in the end, a result of Lu Ling’s own actions. Jiang Zi had never targeted her deliberately; it was Lu Ling who had laid everything bare before Jiang Zi. She had no one to blame but herself.

...

But today, upon hearing from Lawyer Lu that three sturgeon roe equaled the nutrition of an egg, her curiosity about sturgeon roe was piqued. She reasoned that if Lawyer Lu prepared them himself, they were bound to be delicious. Guo Chong hadn’t expected that, at the critical moment, Ma Ning’er would be the one to save all their lives. He had already noticed her extraordinary poise, but never imagined she could summon spirits as well.

“I can stay,” Su Jiangzi said, “but Mrs. Su, are you willing to let your precious darling spend the night outside?” This was her only request.

Sliding the ring onto his index finger, he put away the jade slip. Rising to his feet, he delivered a fierce kick to the dark, round backside. Yang Shuo flew off like an old sack.

Li Ziran dodged nimbly, and the hammer, its force undiminished, crashed into the inn’s wall, shattering the rudimentary protective formation and making the entire building tremble.

Ma Ning’er was also infuriated by Sun Qi’s actions. Inwardly, she thought, They’ve never met, have no grudges, and yet he attacks with deadly force right away—he can’t blame me for showing no mercy.

At that moment, Liu San felt a surge of powerful force collide violently with his right hand; his bones felt as if they were about to be dislocated, and his body was hurled straight out.

“Damn!” Li Feng’s words needed no further thought, and Yi Jian Potian responded instantly with that classic phrase so familiar to every countryman.
