Chapter 98: No Problem

Back at the office, Ye Chen and Qin Sisi returned to find it stacked high with snake-skin bags, filled with a staggering two hundred million in cash.

Qin Sisi looked on with a sigh, teasing Ye Chen. "You are truly President Ye now. Two hundred million in cash—that’s the entire monthly turnover of our Qin family company!"

...

Instantly, his blood began to boil. The scandalous headline had pushed his fury to the breaking point. He clenched his fists, struggling to maintain his composure, the veins on his forehead bulging as if ready to snap. Finally, he steadied himself and asked in a low voice, "Why are you only telling me now?" The date on the report was clearly yesterday’s.

As the discomfort subsided slightly, An Youran snuck out of Yixian Garden, wanting only to return to Mingzhi Garden and demand an explanation from the Prince. The cool night air hit her, chilling not just her feverish blood, but also her mind, which had felt as though it were struck by lightning. At last, she was able to think clearly.

He hated being forced; he was far too headstrong. No one could suppress him, not even the combined pressure of both their families could make him obedient.

Before dawn the next day, a long line of carriages departed from the North Gate of Chang'an, heading toward Huayuan County.

Her heart would always remain with another man. It was a pity, however, that the man could never give her everything she desired.

He held her waist, pulling her into his embrace, and continued to tickle her with his light stubble.

Finally, Chu Qi finished the noodles on her plate, picked up her glass, and drained the milk in one gulp.

Although she longed for him to share her bed during the lonely nights, she thought of Xiao Ran, who had been practicing diligently these past few days. With his talent, he was destined for great things, and the thought filled their future with boundless hope and sweetness.

She had given her first time to the man she loved most, yet it was a tragedy that from beginning to end, he only whispered one name. That name was not hers; it was her mother’s.

"It means that we had already met long ago." Yin Tianchao looked at her with a faint smile, his eyes filled with both tenderness and sincerity.

"Wang Hong is really your sister? You aren't lying to me!" the man asked excitedly, a brilliant light appearing in his eyes.

Thus, he knew how to strive for his goals and fight for his ideals.

"The secret guards have already departed. Now it all depends on whether he can keep his composure. As long as he appears, our mission is complete, and our share of the credit is guaranteed!" a raspy, aged voice spoke from beside the Master of the Pavilion.

However, had anyone been present at that time, or had there been sufficient evidence, things might have remained peaceful.

Half a day later, the entire tower was completely enveloped, shimmering with a dark, metallic luster in the dim light.

Afterward, several other disciples echoed the sentiment. Hou Lezhi scanned them, knowing they had suffered heavy losses in this affair. If not for the formidable strength of the local factions, they would have likely rushed forward to carve up the scattered treasures for themselves.

The reason Fang Hao had lived for so long was largely due to his completion of the Wood-element Body Tempering. His lifespan was not something an ordinary Universe-level being could compare to.

He sat quietly on the roof of the thatched hut, yet despite his weight, the fragile structure showed no signs of collapsing under him.

The influence of the River God far exceeded Liang Fan’s expectations. Even though the light screen before him revealed that this River God was a fake, and that the so-called "upgrades" were merely disguised with low-level runes, the shrimp soldiers and armored guards still knelt before him in submission.

"The Seventh Princess is also from the Qiyun Sect. How did we not think of that? Did Concubine Tianhua actually strike the Seventh Princess?" These people were all well aware of Concubine Tianhua's temper; she was second only to one, above ten thousand, and the most powerful person in the Yu family.
