Chapter 869

"Yeah, what’s going on? Just spit it out! What’s with all the tugging and pulling?"

Fan Xiaoyu saw how troubled Shi Tou was, unable to speak, and couldn’t help but mock him with a cheerful tone.

She didn’t believe Luo Yan would dare reveal the truth!

Even if she did, she had plenty of nice words ready to say!

If she dared do something like this, she wasn’t afraid of others finding out.

After all, it wouldn’t be her who ended up humiliated.

Besides, she didn’t think she’d done anything wrong!

Wang Xuanyi watched the two walking side by side toward the back courtyard, clenching her fists tightly to suppress her curiosity and dared not follow.

My dad came again to beat me—with his palm, slap after slap on my head, a few especially hard ones hitting my ears, making them ring loudly.

Ying Qin frantically opened a down jacket and pulled out two boxed meals, handing one to Qiu Yingying.

Something covered her face—the scent of the shampoo they used—and warmth touched her lips.

On the other side, the Tie family also noticed Tie Xingfeng was missing; before they could even look for him, Old Wang from next door rushed over, asking if they’d seen their daughter Wan’er.

The neighbor seemed in a hurry to eat; after greeting Lin Rongshen, he carried his trash bag out toward the stairwell.

Although Xiao Zitian’s gaze appeared calm and gentle, beneath that gentleness lay a chill that made one’s blood run cold—Xu Lan could ignore it, but she could not.

Yang Guo and Mo Mo’er and the others hadn’t yet registered what was happening when a deafening explosion rang out—BOOM! The entire bar’s front door collapsed, smoke instantly spreading everywhere; many inside were killed or injured, screams blending into a continuous chorus.

Liu Yuanhao’s words triggered memories in the three, and they realized it was indeed exactly as he’d said.

“Heizi should be asleep by now. And since I’m not around, he must’ve gone to Wright’s room. That idiot.” Meiqin turned on the living room light, slipped into slippers, thought this, then walked to my bedroom door and turned the doorknob.

After Qiu Jiacheng left, Wang Zijun slowly fell into thought. The situations of Xihézi Township and Hongbei County kept flashing through his mind.

He adjusted his emotions, intending to offer some kind words of comfort, opened his mouth—but had no idea where to begin.

Everyone was stunned at this point, but seeing this bizarre situation, the two police officers didn’t ask further; they were stationed in Beijing, a place teeming with all kinds of people, and had seen plenty of strange things.

So Icarus turned around, still looking at me with that confused expression… Never mind, I’ll just find her swimsuit first.

“Five days from now…” Bai Yong frowned; five days was enough time for changes to arise, but there was nothing to be done—military movements didn’t answer to them.

In a northern municipality, another direct descendant of a founding statesman was executed with the highest penalty—shot dead on the spot—shocking the entire nation.

Thinking of his father, who was buried in state affairs day and night, Wang Chenchang felt genuinely frustrated. To others, a harmonious family gathering was perfectly normal—but for him, his father had so little time to give.

“Li Yuting? I didn’t expect to see her at a time like this?” Liu Yihua was thrilled, eager to go over and hug Li Yuting. But he knew—in this historical period, Li Yuting didn’t know him at all.

After a round of bidding, the final price for the Water-Repelling Pearl settled at 80,000 spirit stones—a very good price. For a decorative item, this was truly impressive.

“Free to talk?” Jing Wu, standing beside the car, spoke plainly and directly.

These few words—the skinny man shouted them in broken, stuttering gasps, clearly beaten to within an inch of his life by Ma Daqing.
