Volume One, Chapter 54: The Grand Birthday Banquet

How exactly did Chu Ming obtain evidence of Wang Qingbo’s crimes? Li Qiang had no way of knowing, but he was certain Chu Ming was involved. Although the investigators did not reveal who had reported Wang Qingbo, why was there no report before they met with him? Moreover, Chu Ming was aware of Wang Qingbo’s unsavory secrets.

“This… I can’t guarantee, but I can give it a try. I do have a good relationship with Judge,” Ma Tao replied.

“What did you make Jinlong do?” Chu Yi finally couldn’t help but speak, a flash of ruthlessness passing through his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yi’s spirits lifted. Glancing to his left, he immediately spotted a pitch-black entrance resembling a stone cave.

As long as they didn’t recklessly run into Heavenly Fragrance Palace’s lair, the palace would be powerless against them.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he swiftly formed an incantation, activating the Demon Trap Formation. Instantly, golden threads appeared in the void, weaving a great net that enveloped the entire pool.

He wasn’t foolish enough to experiment on himself. After walking around, he spotted a cockroach on the ground and immediately had an idea.

“Master Xiao, you’re too kind. It’s my honor to help you,” Liu Chuan said with a smile.

Zhou Qing was quite unimpressed. Though these three factions were powerful, if he wanted to escape, they might not be able to catch him.

“Anyone with half a brain knows you have no intention of releasing him,” Li Yan sneered. The real Liu Tao was still locked up in the abandoned building; this one had to be a fake.

The energy in Coldblood’s body surged madly, tearing through Chu Yi’s attack in an instant.

However, as the elders walked past several soldiers, those men suddenly drew their swords, cold light flashing as they struck.

Xu Shaobei, seeing that he was still spouting nonsense, simply grabbed him from Chu Tianxiao’s arms to discipline him. Frightened, he darted into Ruan Niansheng’s embrace, not daring to act up again.

Wei Cheng paused, chopsticks in midair, eyes widening in shock—he could hardly believe Gu Huarui would discuss matters of state.

He was capable and had a promising future. Long Xiang didn’t want Tang Huan to ruin her prospects over this matter.

She married Xiao Yongjue because he was the eldest son of the Xiao family and would one day inherit everything. But now, it turned out he wasn’t of Xiao blood.

Qu Nanxiu asked loudly again, but still no one stood up. Each thought they’d worked hard all day; with so many others sitting, why should they give up their seat?

Dong Qingqing skillfully drove the car into the estate. Before she could get out, she saw Dong Hao approaching from a distance.

Not to mention that, after being forced to stop by Lu Chen earlier today, she almost wanted to abandon the car and not care anymore.

“Of course not,” Qin Shenshen shook her head vigorously, then quickly averted her gaze, afraid he would see through her.

Yu Nuanyang pleaded with her sister. Yu Siqi, seeing the time was right, finally stepped aside.

I long to ride the wind back home, yet fear the jade towers above, too cold for mortal flesh. Dancing with my shadow, I find no joy like that on earth.

King Lin Miao was poisoned. The ambitious Second Prince, Lin Yuan, took the Yu family’s bait and became the pawn in the campaign against Shanyin. Of course, once it was done, he’d certainly be the next king.

On the way, Jiang Chaoping called to ask if Wang Peng was free that night for dinner at Longju. He said Wu Shuangjie was back home for a visit and passing through Dongjiang to see them both.

“Senior Brother!” Yang Tian collided with Li Ping, and only then did blood begin to drip from the corner of Li Ping’s mouth.

Shui’er, I just returned to the country, causing quite a stir in financial circles. So, my mother is hosting a welcome home reception for me. All the country’s renowned entrepreneurs will attend. The venue is the Royal Hotel at 53 Yuquan Road. I sincerely invite you to be my date.
