Chapter 172: Be Alert When Playing With These Old Foxes

I’ve read Ye Zi’s report; overall, there are no major issues. Song Qingdong and Qian Weimin have thought everything through carefully and each has taken care of the other’s interests—whatever benefits they enjoy, you as the third major shareholder must get your fair share too.

“That goes without saying,” Fang Qingye nodded.

“So what are you worried about now?”

“One of them has a friend of his own as general manager, while Song Zong has a friend handling market operations as deputy—according to what they’ve said, the people they’ve hired…”

“Bai… Bai Young Master… it’s you…” Ye Shu never expected to meet him again under such circumstances.

Inside Wu Shuang Palace, everyone turned pale, overwhelmed by an immense pressure that forced them all to retreat and flee far away.

As for the current head of the Suwa family, Yin Wangwan, he is still a child; thus, even if people like Qian Tian Jingming harbor other intentions, they 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, the Emperor ordered her 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 prince?!” Jian Bin snapped.

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

I Mianqiang ate a little, told my father I wasn’t feeling well, and left the reception hall. Once outside, I walked to the garden, and only then did my heart calm down as I greedily breathed 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 seemed to be subtly leaving the decision to the Renmu family.

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 that she’s giving me special treatment? If so, I’ll accept her kindness with gratitude.

However, due to unfamiliarity with the terrain, both armies fell into the Murakami forces’ traps. Itagaki Nobukata and Amari Tadayasu each fought desperately with their troops, but ultimately, outnumbered, they fell one after another, fulfilling their pre-battle pact.

Xie Chen suddenly smelled Ya Ya’s perfume and felt the lingering warmth of her embrace; her encouragement made him forget his fatigue and instead grow excited.

I’d already sensed that Yun’er had been distancing herself lately—she hadn’t called me Zhudong in ages, and even when she greeted me, it was cold and formal. I thought it was just my imagination, but now it’s clear it’s real.

Qing Laifeng gave a slight nod; in terms of mindset and insight, he still fell far short of Qing Zhugong, the backbone of the Qing family.

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 toward the paint, deliberately draw Drummond’s fouls until he fouled out.

“Yes, Director!” He Changshan replied, leading two teams of inspectors forward and hauling Liu Degang to his feet.

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

“Future. Intelligence!” Park Ji-hoon stared directly into Zuckerberg’s eyes and held up two fingers.

Upon hearing they were choosing gifts for Park Ji-hoon and Park Min-ah, Li Yanxian offered suggestions proactively.

At these words, the lecherous man turned pale with fear. Fortunately, this vile suggestion gained little support, mainly because Shi Ruoyu insisted they shouldn’t abuse him until they understood the situation better.

Hearing the vaguely familiar name, Igos frowned and gestured for Philir 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 rely on himself.

“Your stomach’s weak—eat slowly. No one’s going to steal your food,” Chu Xiuzhan reminded Shi ZuiZui as she gobbled 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 Championship, 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 shifted.

Like Ronaldo, Messi dominated his club last year 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 belonging to the Sea Clan, yet appearing on Earth at such a critical moment—there was only one possibility.

Xu Shaotang’s heart jolted; his pupils contracted sharply. He turned quickly toward the sound—and saw an ice pillar before the glacier suddenly shatter, revealing an old man in a gray cloth robe standing before him.

“Killing my brother, killing my brother—what on earth is going on with these things?” Ming Yang paced anxiously in the room, visibly repulsed by the strange sounds.

“Don’t wander off. Wait here for me. You must wait for me to return,” Lin Daimo gently touched Lu Mengjian’s cheek, his heart aching. 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.

Looking back now, 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 lay ahead and deliberately stirred greed in these people?

Welcome to Beijing Normal University. Starting today, you will spend your four wonderful university years alongside crows, sparrows, and adorable 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 ready.

The Liu uncle following behind had wanted to advise him, but then he remembered how much the 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?
