Chapter 172: 171 Playing with these old foxes requires full alertness

171 Playing with these old foxes requires full alertness

"I've read through Ye Zi; overall, there are no major issues. Song Qingdong and Qian Weimin have thought everything through and each has secured their own interests—whatever they enjoy, you as the third major shareholder must get the same."

"That goes without saying," Fang Qingye nodded.

"So what are you worried about now?"

"The two of them—one is the General Manager, a friend of President Qian; the other is the Deputy General Manager for Market Operations, a friend of President Song. According to their own words, the people they've hired…"

"Bai… Bai Young Master… it's you…" Ye Shu never expected to meet him again under these circumstances.

Even those inside Wu Shuang Palace turned pale instantly, overwhelmed by an immense pressure that forced them all to retreat and flee, hiding far away.

As for the current head of the Suwa family, Yin Wangwan, being a child, Qian Tian Jingming and others, even if they harbored other intentions, currently only seek to preserve their family's survival.

In the blink of an eye, master and servant arrived at the main gate of Fengzao Palace, just as Qiu Qing'e, attended by the palace maid Xue Yan, was walking from the side hall toward the main hall. After Qiu Qingshuang was granted the title of Cairen, she received the Emperor's decree to temporarily reside in the side hall of Fengzao Palace. Xue Yan, who had served the Empress for many years, was permitted by the Empress to accompany Qiu Qing'e personally.

Upon hearing the words "fetal tonic," Jian Bin suddenly turned around. "Didn't I say I won't take any medicine? Where did this fetal tonic come from? You worthless slave, don't you fear someone will murder my Imperial Prince?!" Jian Bin snapped.

Her fainting wasn't due to illness, but because she was pregnant—with Jian Mofan's child. He truly didn't know whether to rejoice or worry.

I forced myself to eat a little, told my father I felt unwell, and left. After exiting the reception hall, I walked to the garden, and only then did my heart calm down, greedily breathing in the fresh air of the back garden.

Facing his eldest son's pleas and his retainers' entreaties, Daino Heishin appeared resolute in his rebuke, yet somehow he also subtly indicated he would leave the matter to the Niki family to decide.

I paused. That room had been empty for over half a year—wasn't the witch always reluctant to let anyone use it? Could it be because of Tang Xi, and she's giving me special treatment? If so, I'll accept her kindness with gratitude.

Due to unfamiliarity with the terrain, both armies fell into the Murakami forces' traps. Ban-yuan Nobukata and Amari Tora'yasu each fought desperately with their troops, but ultimately, outnumbered, they fell one after another, fulfilling their pre-battle pact.

Xie Chen suddenly still smelled Yaya's perfume and the body scent only felt in her embrace; her encouragement made him forget his fatigue and instead grow excited.

I'd already sensed Yuen's recent distance from me—she hadn't taken the initiative to call me in ages, and even when she greeted me, it was cold. I thought it was my imagination, but now it's clear it's real.

Qing Lai Feng gave a slight nod. In terms of mindset and insight, he still fell far short of Qing Family's backbone, Qing Zhugong.

But he never imagined that during halftime, Heat president Pat Riley walked into the Heat locker room and gave Coach Spoelstra an order: in the second half, attack relentlessly inside, deliberately draw Drummond's fouls until he fouled out.

"Yes, Director!" He Changshan replied, striding forward with two teams of inspectors and hauling Liu Degang up.

Such scenes were by no means unique to this battlefield—almost every second witnessed several, even dozens, of identical moments unfolding.

"Future. Intelligence!" Park Ji-hoon stared directly into Zuckerberg's eyes and held up two fingers.

When Li Yanxian heard they were choosing gifts for Park Ji-hoon and Park Min-ah, she volunteered to offer advice.

Upon hearing this, the lecherous man turned pale with fear. Fortunately, this vile suggestion gained little support, mainly because Shi Ruoyu stated that until they understood the situation, they shouldn't mistreat him.

Hearing this vaguely familiar name, Igos grew puzzled and gestured for Phil to continue.

After a few seconds of silence, Johnny slammed his fist hard against the wall. He had given up hope on Watch. If he couldn't rely on others, he'd have to act himself.

"Your stomach's weak—eat slowly. No one's going to steal your food," Chu Xiuzhan warned Shi Zui Zui as she wolfed down her meal.

"Are you out of your mind from watching too much sci-fi?! I've personally experienced it—nothing happened! I just want to observe the process!" Su He nearly spat at Fatty.

After the European Cup, Greek football's confidence soared; the Greeks believed their football was strong.

Fine wine and beautiful women intoxicated many. After scanning the surroundings, Nan Yunhan's expression subtly changed.

Like Ronaldo, last year Messi dominated at club level but delivered little for the national team.

There are always jealous, nitpicking types who can't stand others' success—this scene triggered a frenzy of criticism.

Not of the Sea Clan, yet appearing on Earth at such a critical moment—there's only one possibility.

Xu Shaotang's heart jolted; his pupils contracted sharply. He turned swiftly toward the sound—and saw a gray-robed elder suddenly appear before him as an ice pillar before the ice peak shattered.

"Kill my brother? Kill my brother? What the hell is going on with these things?" Ming Yang paced frantically in the room, visibly agitated, clearly repulsed by the strange sounds.

"Don't wander off. Wait here for me. Wait for me to come back," Lin Daimo gently touched Lu Mengjian's cheek, his voice tender. He couldn't vent his anger at Qin Luofu in her room—it would only make her more distressed.

Later, Li Hua took me home—to the house he shared with his mother. That's when I met his mother.

Now that I think about it, Dao Ran must have known what was inside. But why did he wear that expression? That doesn't make sense. Could it be that Dao Ran already foresaw what might appear ahead—and needed to stir greed in these people?

Welcome to Beijing Normal University. Starting today, you will spend your wonderful four years of university with crows, sparrows, and lovely domestic pigeons.

Hearing him say that, Wang Po could only think: I've met shameless people before, but never anyone this shameless.

As Nie Zhenyu's words ended, everyone snapped to attention. Binoculars, pistols, flares, smoke grenades, even explosives—all were fully prepared.

The Liu Uncle following behind had wanted to advise him, but then remembered how deeply Lady favored him—if he disobeyed, he'd be the one to die. So he obediently went.

When Nie Zhenyu woke up, it was already one in the afternoon. How long had it been since he slept so peacefully?
