~4 min read 790 words

152 The fastest and most convenient way for men to deepen their bond is drinking.

Since Miao Hongbin was treating them to dinner in the evening, he couldn't play badminton with Xia He, so Fang Qingye knocked on Xia He's office door and explained the reason.

He also told her why Miao Hongbin was hosting — there was no need to hide it from Xia He.

"You're on pretty good private terms with County Chief Miao." Xia He smiled. "This kind of gathering is far more valuable than those work-related social obligations — go ahead."

"Then I won't be able to keep you company playing ball tonight."

"We'll go play tomorrow."

After bidding farewell to Zhao Wuhen and the others, Jiang Huairen arranged to meet Zhao Yanchen, Wei Fanchen and the rest, and they drank freely until thoroughly plastered. Taking advantage of their drunkenness, Jiang Huairen slipped away and met Wang Jie, Sun Li and the others.

Although he firmly believed General Dynamics wouldn't go head-to-head with him over this, Selina's words from last night lingered in his mind — especially upon hearing that this group might be even tougher than the Jews — so he had to look into this group carefully; better safe than sorry.

With such a background, even he, Xu Tianhua, felt a headache looking at it, and even while bearing the pressure of those international pharmaceutical giants, he didn't dare act rashly.

He saw with his own eyes how Nurse Liu had desperately helped him all morning, and he kept it firmly in mind.

Just now, the ghost-spirit fluctuation produced when Master Li activated the Burial Spirit Treasure Mirror was sensed at once by Xu Yang, ten li away.

"Something's off! The people from the Three Great Families would actually be this kind-hearted? They're charging at the front, clearing a path for us — that, that can't be right!" Someone sensed something was wrong, felt uneasy in his heart, and couldn't help but speak up.

The Golden Wolf Gang is one of the most powerful forces in Yuming City; with their hall master killed, such a major incident must have already spread throughout all of Yuming City, and even Jiangnan Province. Jiang Huairen wanted to get a sense of the situation first — and besides, he needed to rest a while.

The Creation Ice Spirit Pearl, falling from the void, landed inside the ruined Sword Furnace cave and dropped back into the lava pool. The moment the cold qi carried by the absorbed heaven and earth spiritual energy touched the liquid lava, the lava pool instantly froze.

The rescue team brought Gu Lin, who had already shown no vital signs, back to the Administration Bureau to prepare for burial — even though he had been killed because of acting on his own, his status still couldn't be ignored.

Inside the room, Jiang Huairen once again listed out in detail the materials for alchemy and weapon-forging, and sent them to Zhu Guli.

Previously, when facing Top Esports, Guozi had stolen Gala's Kai'Sa for a pentakill; at this point in the match, how would Guozi dare crack that kind of joke.

"Good! You decide that yourself! Get him a room, let him wash up, and change into some clean clothes." Immortal Clear Wind was genial and kind, accepting the now filthy Hua Yuerong without the slightest disgust — truly the bearing of a great figure.

After transmitting his lifetime's cultivation, Dragon Mountain Daoist, no longer supported by heaven and earth spiritual qi, sat down and passed away on the spot; his body crumbled into dust and drifted away on the wind.

Carrying his doubts, Deputy Director Li still opened the door for He Yuzhu — after all, He Yuzhu had no shallow connections with both Factory Director Song and Shareholder Lou. Although he inwardly looked down on He Yuzhu, some face-work still had to be done.

At this moment, Curtis was eating a golden roasted corn cob, while casting occasional sidelong glances at the barbecue stall in front of him.

Hou Jianwu drove Lu Yan home without saying a word — he wanted Lu Yan to think he was angry, to stir up a little guilt in Lu Yan's heart; even just a tiny bit would do.

Then, just as the pill was about to be completed, Li Xinyan got excited inside, lost his balance, and — bang!

But even if there was only that one time, it was enough. That man, though he didn't know exactly what had happened, still, with the uniquely male quiet and accepting love, gave Lu Yan's closed-off heart a key.

He planned to head into the ancient tomb tomorrow — this time he'd see whether this tomb really had no end.
