Chapter 185: The Lady

Seeing Chen Mo silent, Shen Zhixia pouted and huffed, "I guessed right—you've got nothing to say now! During duty hours, you're fraternizing with subordinates? How shameless!"

Chen Mo: "..."

Ling Ningzhi, beside them, asked curiously, "Zhixia, how did you figure it out?"

Shen Zhixia analyzed seriously: "If it were just a routine report, there'd be no need to go into the inner chamber. And just as I was about to enter, they both happened to walk out—what are the odds?"

After returning to the country, he sorted out the internet business and negotiated with Samsung's external industrial design team on the YY Electronics MP3 project, finalizing the plan for mass production and launch before May Day; after that, he left all remaining hardware matters behind.

The method was to mention to Wei Ruolan that he admired Shi Xiangyun—this itself was simple, just keep it casual: find an excuse to drink together, reveal it over wine, brush it off in one sentence, leaving no trace.

Before landing, a low roar echoed through the forest; bullets scraped sparks off the bear-man's helmet. Due to the close range, even though the bullets were blocked, the impact left the bear-man dazed.

Precisely because of this pre-event optimism, numerous Han aristocratic youths serving in the military rushed to apply to join the Second Army's campaign in the Liaodong Peninsula. These aristocratic youths, of course, followed the division headquarters—safe, yet still able to rack up battle merits.

Fang Hua stepped before Zhao Huan and slapped him across the face. Zhao Huan clutched his stinging cheek, staring at Fang Hua in disbelief—he never imagined an Song general would dare strike him, a former emperor.

Luo Pingyan grew anxious inside; though she knew the Dowager of Anyang County had no life-threatening danger, she feared that due to her rebirth, certain events had changed, leaving her hesitating.

After speaking, seeing Luo Pingyan pouting and glaring at him, Luo Jizong amended: "Still, I deeply appreciate your intention, Sister—thank you for going to so much trouble." Only then did Luo Pingyan's anger melt into a smile.

Huang Hua nodded, feeling no shame at all; rather, he believed his humble origins made his conquest of this "Jiangshan" all the more remarkable, enhancing the legend of his life.

Second, Leng Ningshuang and Xing Zhai reunite within the Crimson Lotus Demon Cult; Leng Ningshuang's subtle shift in attitude toward Xing Zhai, both before and after her memory restoration, and the complex emotions that followed.

Such a prodigy who could turn heaven and earth upside down, making solemn vows, naturally convinced Su Yun entirely.

After waiting outside for half a day without anyone emerging, Xiao You could no longer hold back—he gritted his teeth and charged back in, only to see Gu Shen holding Su Ge, eyes lowered, staring at her blankly, his face suppressing a fury of overwhelming rage, yet also hiding an indescribable tenderness and reluctance.

His face flickered between excitement and pain, his mouth muttering incessantly.

Ji Chang knew full well that in today's society, some people enjoyed extortion through staged accidents—but under these circumstances, he hadn't even considered that possibility. After all, everything that had happened still seemed reasonably plausible.

After hearing the Lord of the Floor's words, Huang Ming widened his eyes, staring at him in disbelief—as if unable to accept that they, too, were pawns manipulated from within the game.

In the following scene, not only did Zhou Bingran close his eyes, but even Lin Lao and several research scholars long accustomed to live animal experiments instinctively shut their eyes or turned their gaze away.

"The Immortal Sister must be missing me—would she like to see her little brother?" he said with a teasing grin.

"Enough idle talk—do you still intend to continue the competition?" Lin Feng scanned the remaining doctors.

Yet Yang Hong's acting was ruthless; in an instant, he reverted to an air of superiority, arrogance once again filling his brow, strutting proudly and intimidating many into stepping back.
