Chapter 205

Song Qingdong chuckled and said, “County Chief Miao likes fishing; I heard you’re close friends—turns out it’s true… caught a lot, huh?”

“Quite a bit, especially with County Chief Miao reaping a big harvest.”

“Hah, then he must be delighted.”

“Yes, while we were fishing, County Chief Miao mentioned the main road construction for the new energy base.”

At these words from Fang Qingye, Song Qingdong’s smile vanished, his expression turning serious, even as—

Su Ziqi ran until she could no longer keep going, then stopped—just then, Fang Yuanhe called.

No, judging by the current situation, it’s not just these things—perhaps even my entire life has been fully arranged.

“No, he’s not coming here—he’s coming to the previous location. Our informant will leak the message, luring him into the trap! Hah!” The Thai man was immensely pleased with his brilliant setup.

On the city wall, Xu Rui observed all of this from within the Eight Trigrams Array, seeing dozens of his side’s Yunshen-stage experts successfully hold back the enemy’s elite.

“Hello, need help?” Sai Liya smiled as she spoke to Chen Qiubai, who approached.

He Qing’s voice replied: “Of course, her car is parked right here!” Then He Qing gave Su Ziqi’s license plate number.

Lan Xianxian blurted out without thinking: “Of course I can fart!”—the moment the words left her mouth, she realized what she’d said, her face flushing crimson.

Moreover, if she remembered correctly, Uncle Cheng was Ning Cheng’s closest confidant, privy to nearly everything about him—surely he knew the truth about the “hostage.” Where was Uncle Cheng when she and Ning Jing confronted the Grand Elder? Why didn’t he speak up? What was his stance?

As Lin Xiao sold more corn silver, Xu Lang bought medicinal herbs several more times; altogether, his expenses exceeded three hundred taels.

“Jack Bomb!” “Flame Impact!” Two powerful techniques struck Chen Qiubai simultaneously—he had just killed Flame Hand Borla and hadn’t turned around yet, so he took both blows without any chance to dodge.

Now in the imperial harem, Consort Wan has fallen from favor; only the Empress’s faction remains dominant. Offending the Empress would be unwise.

“No, I have a way to open the Boundary Gate, but now is not the time to enter the Ghost Market—because if we open it, someone from the other side can come through too…” I said.

Niu Suqin’s meaning was clear: if you dare touch Shubao, I’ll tear you apart.

The two men fell silent, clearly moved; after walking a while, they parted ways and returned home.

Donghai wasn’t a top-tier domestic city decades ago—it only rose in the past twenty to thirty years due to economic growth, and many of Donghai’s educational institutions were only established over a decade ago, like No. 2 High School, which was built just over ten years ago.

But Zhang Yang’s driving skills were genuinely impressive—even at that speed, his velocity showed no sign of slowing, and he remained remarkably steady.

Later, by chance, Tang Mengyan’s father learned that Wang Fat was manager at Sanxin Pharmaceutical Factory, so he contacted Wang Fat’s parents and used connections to get Wang Fat to transfer Tang Mengyan to Sanxin Company as an accountant.

Throughout the entire meal, we ate in silence, while Li He attentively cared for Xiao Ran, making Xu Jingru envious to the point of complaining to me about it.

Seeing Ma Yike had even brought lollipops, I was already reassured she could take good care of Jiaqi.

But Xiao Ran wouldn’t do that—she never used any improper means to obtain what she wanted, especially love.

A slightly heavy atmosphere spread through the air; for a long while, Gu Chen said nothing, only the ringing of her phone breaking the silence.
