Volume 1, Chapter 30: A Meeting Before Clocking Out, All Hands on Deck

"According to the branch requirements, any discovery of drug traffickers must be reported to the branch, and the criminal investigation brigade must handle it. Surveillance and arrests are all tasks for the branch." Xie Changkun was still a bit afraid; merit was good, but one couldn't break the rules.

"Director, I know that, the criminal investigation brigade. But as the local police station, don't we have the duty to verify reports from the public?"

"What do you mean?"

"Director, don't you understand? We can just say we received a report about a disturbance at the bar, and when we went in to investigate, we happened to discover the drug traffickers and took them down in one fell swoop."

Xie Changkun sneered, "Do you think the leaders at the branch are fools..."

Yu Feng, however, wanted to keep this matter low-key. After all, at such a critical juncture, it was a sensitive topic that could affect the acquisition plan, or perhaps it was about quietly buying shares behind the scenes amidst the price fluctuations.

Xia Zhu put away her zither and tapped the air beside her. A soft light flickered, and a holographic image appeared in the air. The people in the image were none other than Chu Muping and his sister Chu Mu-lian, who had come to the garden to pay their respects to Chu Taixin.

Even the other media representatives who had been invited couldn't help but brighten their eyes, feeling somewhat stunned. So, this is how advertisements could be embedded?

Du Ruo hunched her shoulders, buried her head, and chuckled as she began to check if everything she had bought was in the shopping bag.

But after hearing what Ye Qingcheng said just now, Li Ruo was truly shaken. A sense of shame stirred in the depths of her heart, and her gaze toward Ye Qingcheng became solemn.

Watching Leng Dianchen's hair tousled by the wind, An Ruoran really didn't know what to say, especially after Leng Dianchen nodded in response to her words, leaving her even more speechless.

Yun Hai got out of the car, and a police officer walked over. "Are you Comrade Yun Hai?" he asked. The officer looked to be in his forties, his swarthy face covered in wrinkles.

Ge Feiyan interrupted, "Enough, let me ask you one thing: did you take the black box?" After the mechanisms of the ancient structure were activated, those present had no time to search for the whereabouts of the black box. When Yun Piaoying left, she had asked Ge Feiyan this same question, and now, Ge Feiyan was asking Sha Dutian the same thing.

As for why those trees hadn't become sentient, Ji Kai didn't know; perhaps it was limited by the laws of this place, and plant life didn't have that opportunity. In any case, Ji Kai hadn't discovered any such existence.

In the following days, Daosui adjusted her state while adapting to the body that had been washed by energy after breaking through the thousand-point threshold.

"Born today, five years ago? Haha, buddy, you're hilarious, so you're only five years old this year? Hahaha!" The red-haired youth clutched his stomach and laughed.

"Lin Yu, are you sure you want to fight me like this?" Fang Zixuan felt she had made a mistake; sparring with him was simply an insult to herself.

Everyone looked at Yue Lei's wound, and sure enough, they saw the black blood at the wound gradually fading, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The exorbitant spherical screen in the deep blue hall was blown open, and a light mixed with flesh and blood erupted from Bruce's exploding body, rushing out of the hole and forming a blood-red sentence in the air: "tell us why."

As the highest-level wanted rogue ninjas of the Anbu, Senju Zen and Uchiha Xuanzong had lived safely for over a decade, which in itself was an incredibly impressive skill.

"My assistant, Lina, will fly back to New York from Detroit tomorrow. I will have her contact you. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask; I will not refuse if it is within my power," said Ji Kai.

The fleeing ninjas suddenly felt their feet leave the ground. Looking down, they realized they were indeed floating. Looking up, there was something high above, and the gravitational pull was coming from there.

Guan Yue lay limply on the table, feeling conflicted about how intelligent and precocious her disciple was.

"There are nearly a thousand Illusory Spirit Stones here. If we take them all, let alone breaking through ten thousand, even thirty thousand wouldn't be a problem," Ye Fan stared at the Illusory Spirit Stones beneath the thick white mist, his expression excited.

Suddenly, a man's order cut off Su Momo's chaotic thoughts. Startled, she returned to her senses and realized the sports car had stopped. After Ni Lang reminded her, he turned off the engine and got out of the car.

I stepped forward and slapped her directly across the face. A fishy, salty taste surged into my throat, which I swallowed through gritted teeth.

I trembled all over. Damn it, there was no heads-up for this; even leaders usually have secretaries prepare scripts for them to read.

He Jin had already planned it out. Regardless of whether Xia and Gao had contacted Zhang Rang, he had to stir up rumors that the three had colluded. How could He Jin pass up such a god-given opportunity to defeat his political rivals?

"You stay here, I'll be back in a moment." Mo Ye turned and whispered gently into Qin Lan's ear. Qin Lan didn't even lift her eyes, as if she hadn't heard him. Mo Ye sighed gloomily in his heart, pulled her close affectionately, kissed her cheek, and headed into the woods without looking back.

"It's nothing rare, just a token of my heart, brought back from Huai'an. See if you like it," Second Aunt Su Taoshi smiled.

Xuan Yuanche remained silent with a dark face, his handsome features as black as ink, and his hand clutching Su Jinghui's arm made a terrifying cracking sound of bones.

As for me, a core figure in the Right King's camp, I had been kept entirely in the dark throughout the whole process, which also showed his very clear two-sided stance.

At this moment, sweat began to bead on his body, he had no strength left, and his legs were turning to jelly.

Lu Na felt that Bu Yu, who was so agitated, definitely couldn't hear her voice, so she simply stopped talking and patted Bu Yu's thigh.

The shopkeeper had already concluded that the two were a couple, so instead of giving them each a pink lotus lantern, he presented them with a jade-green one.

Additionally, the mysterious youth Yin Feiying had defected to Fengxiang City and become Song Yunlong's personal bodyguard, protecting the safety of the city lord at all times.

Moreover, this burden pressed down evenly, distributed across every inch of his body, constant and never diminishing.

Especially as Lin Xiang's strength grew and he harbored so many secrets, wouldn't having an extra identity be a better way to hide them?
