Volume 1, Chapter 53: Encountering Assassination Once Again

In Red Plum Court, Lu Hongzhao was sitting on a small couch, sipping bird's nest porridge.

Nanny Feng walked in with hurried steps.

"Madam, that matter has failed! Not only is Shi Qingqian skilled in medicine, but she also understands poisons. She examined the deceased and found out that he met his end because walnut juice was forcefully poured into him."

Lu Hongzhao put down the porridge bowl in her hand, her brows slightly furrowed.

Zixi suddenly looked up at the ordinary-looking yet extraordinarily graceful man standing opposite her. With a joyous expression on his baby face, he rose and stepped forward.

In this final match, as long as they could maintain the four-million-point gap and prevent it from being wiped out, the mission would be considered complete.

Jessica actually felt quite grateful to Xu Yao, but Xu Yao's indifferent tone and utterly lifeless face—resembling a piece of pale, tender frozen meat that was both cold and hard—greatly irritated Jessica's heart.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Blue Yeming gave a perfunctory bow with a poker face. Ever since birth, he had been exempted from the kowtow ceremony; truth be told, he could not remember how long it had been since he last knelt, as not kneeling had long since become a habit.

At this moment, watching the live broadcast, the audience began to grow excited. After all, this felt entirely like an American blockbuster, featuring thrilling parkour escapes guaranteed to cause a surge of adrenaline.

As soon as he crested the slope, he immediately began to execute the maneuver. The trick required a one-revolution board spin around the foot, whereas what Ye Chen performed was a forty-five-degree spin around the foot, an exceptionally cool and flashy move.

As for his internal energy, it was unfathomably deep. His only weakness was perhaps a lack of combat experience—to be precise, a lack of combat experience against opponents of the same tier.

"Brother, do not rush to a decision yet. Take a look at this first!" Yuan Yi pulled the imperial edict from his bosom and handed it to Yuan Shao for inspection.

Zhou Tian thought of a rather bizarre and unrealistic notion: the old monsters locked inside Cell 44 were completely capable of walking out, yet they simply refused to leave.

"If I hadn't borrowed nine strands of your white fortune, I wouldn't have dragged you all here! Pulling you in just once drained a huge amount of my permissions, and I have no idea whether I'm making a profit or taking a loss this time," Li Yi said with a crying face.

Meanwhile, she simply allowed the two people in protective suits to drag her out just like a piece of cargo.

After entering summer in May, just as the merchants in the city were eagerly anticipating when the new fleet of ships would return, bad news came one after another.

It was obvious that this announcement regarding grain exchange was a tactic targeting the Kong family, yet she had been foolish enough to charge right into it blindly—wasn't this walking straight onto the edge of a blade?

From transferring ownership, inspecting the vehicle, rubbing the chassis number, taking photos, to paying the transfer fees, Hong Qiaozhou took the lead in everything and handled every single matter personally, sparing Chen Lin any trouble.

For this reason, Yue Nanxing had nearly lost his entire family fortune, yet even so, he still ended up in a lawsuit and was almost exiled to the remote frontiers. Fortunately, he had friends in the official yamen at the time, and after numerous efforts, he was finally bailed out.

Liu Dingtian was blinded by a sudden flash of black light. The moment he closed his eyes, he felt his body become completely paralyzed, as if it were being torn apart. This tearing sensation was all-encompassing across three hundred and sixty degrees, feeling utterly agonizing.

Jiang Anyi's gaze narrowed; the very thing he feared most had happened. Hua Zheng had used a servant to take the blame while remaining scrupulously free himself. Unfortunately, no evidence proving Hua Zheng was the mastermind behind the human trafficking had been obtained in the courtroom. Judging by the testimonies already gathered, all the evidence pointed to Hua Ren, leaving them unable to catch Hua Zheng's vulnerable spot.

I got up, walked out of the villa, left the gravitational field generated by the Doomsday Saber, and came outside alone. Nowadays, a hundredfold gravity felt like nothing to me. I quietly sat down on the ground to admire the dim scenery around me. As a gust of wind blew, I closed my eyes to enjoy the sensation of the breeze, though an inexplicable irritation welled up in my mood.
