Chapter 637: The Gap Is Billions of Points Larger

Outside Yangzhou City, a ferry dock on the Yangtze River.

Lai Tian dragged his weary body off the boat, a buzzing sound filled his ears, and his steps felt somewhat light.

He actually got seasick! He never got seasick before!

"Alas! State affairs are difficult."

Lai Tian let out a long sigh.

He arrived at the city gate of Yangzhou Tangzicheng, hesitating whether to step inside.

"General Lai, could it be that you have something on your mind?"

The one beside.

With both hands clasped behind his back, he waved his hand: "Your injury will fully recover after a day of rest." Qin Yi walked out without looking back.

"Our variegated stone, with its rich and colorful hues, is also inexpensive and will suit most people," Yan Yixin said seriously.

"But—" Alice still didn't want to part with Lianye here; evidently, compared to the people of the Gaocheng family, Alice was still willing to stay with Lianye and the others.

As the saying goes, the same rice can sustain a hundred kinds of people; there will naturally always be those who are short‑sighted, but the outcome is predictable—severe injury is the best result, leaving nothing but scraps, which is a common occurrence.

Sima Changkong's sudden retreat was not a defeat‑driven withdrawal, but a habit: before he discerns the opponent's true strength, he will not engage in a hard clash.

Yi Fan then recalled that there were several troublesome matters here. There's no need to mention Zhuoyue; now there's an additional Lu Miaoling.

"Hehe, your fiancé is quite handsome, just a bit foolish," Wang Chen couldn't bear the loneliness, so he spoke first.

A thread of unease lingered in his heart; the moment to act had arrived, yet he hesitated, unsure whether his action would cause Han Ning to hate him for life, wondering if he was like Bai Li Aofeng, guarding others but unable to guard his own heart.

Suddenly, a gust of wild wind rose without warning; immediately, the two closed their eyes at the same moment, and two utterly different true essences continuously circulated over their bodies' surfaces.

After a short while, Ma Jiu opened a household's courtyard gate and stepped out; Zhu Houzhao entered the yard, saw a lamp lit by the firewood room, and originally the family had been forced into the firewood room, silent under the threat of blades. Shen Xi then had Ma Jiu bring silver inside to steady people's hearts, treating the place as a temporary lodging.

"Goodbye." Su Cheng hung up, went out, and placed the phone in the trash can by the elevator. Returning to the living room, he sat down, but felt no appetite for the feast before him. How could he get Zhao Lu out?

The laughter below grew louder, prompting the guards outside the grand hall to become curious: what's happening, why such joy?

This time we went to Beihai in Guangxi, which is now the site of Penglai Island. Unfortunately, there was no one in Beihai, Guangxi to contact us, so we had to handle everything ourselves.

With just a word, Ni Huairou turned Zheng Qianqian's forced fake smile into a panicked expression; Zheng Qianqian's eyes glared angrily at Ni Huairou, teeth clenched, as if wanting to bite Ni Huairou to death.

Outside the morgue, a quarrel was underway between a man in his forties and Bai Xue; the man insisted on sending his wife's corpse to the funeral home, while Bai Xue, in the capacity of a police officer, blocked him.

Zuo Luo, using his strength, pressed Su Cheng's gun‑holding hand; as Su Cheng was about to whisper in his ear, "We won't leave any survivors," the usually calm Su Cheng's emotions neared collapse, he let go of the gun, knelt on both knees, grabbed his hair with both hands, and began to weep. For over two years, to fulfill this wish, Su Cheng had done everything.

A few elite sweepers discovered a Cloud Eagle hiding in the ruins; they immediately brandished weapons, shouting loudly to attract others' attention, and were the first to launch an attack on the Cloud Eagle.

"Yes, there is that right, but generally it won't be investigated like that; it would cause huge damage to the company, and without solid explanatory evidence, judges usually won't agree," Bai Xue replied.
