Chapter 255: First Time as a Thief

Watching Dou Dou had originally intended to find Lan Duoduo, but halfway there, she saw a duck flying in the sky.

Greatly surprised, she changed course and chased after the duck.

Well, the duck was only what she thought it was; in fact, it was a Chinese pond heron, also known as the white-eared night heron.

This is a bird that appears at night.

Except for its beak, its appearance really did resemble a duck somewhat, so it was no wonder Watching Dou Dou mistook it.

"Little duck, don't run, I'll take you home."

Originally, he hadn't intended to trouble the Akatsuki, but since they had crashed into him themselves, Mo Fei simply harvested them as well.

He truly hadn't expected that upon coming to Huaxia personally to negotiate with a star, he would find the boss of a large corporation instead. This matter was simply too absurd.

"You know my situation? Then who is your boss?" Ruan Yunxi was actually naive enough to ask this, perhaps her mind clouded by the desire to get out.

It was a large pool shaped like a gourd, about ten zhang long, with its narrowest part being only three zhang, occupying more than half of the entire space, while the liquid in the pool was emerald green and appeared quite viscous.

A guest visiting the master saw that the chimney of the master's stove was straight and firewood was piled nearby, so he told the master, "Change the chimney to be curved and move the firewood further away. Otherwise, a fire will occur." The master remained silent and did not answer.

Without thinking much, Lin Song plucked the nine-colored fruit, stuffed it into his mouth in one bite, and then slid down the tree trunk to the ground.

"Is there a job suitable for me? I said I wanted to go with you, but you disagreed; I'm going with you tomorrow." Ruan Yawen looked at her younger sister with some concern. Although she showed nothing on the surface, Ruan Yawen could see the daze in her sister's eyes and said this deliberately without exposing Ruan Yunxi.

"I was just researching aimlessly with Meng Yao; my eldest sister found a job outside." Ruan Yunxi was clearly a girl who loved to talk, completely different in personality from Ruan Yawen.

In the end, fewer than one-quarter of those who returned were alive; the vast majority perished at the bottom of the sea. Even among those who returned alive, nine out of ten were injured, and most of those injuries were severe; they fell into a coma upon returning, keeping the military doctors extremely busy.

"I am investigating; I'll tell you when I have results. However, it's not an issue with that batch of goods; someone else got there first with the order. We were just about to sign the contract. By the way, how much do you know about the person in charge of that pharmaceutical factory?" Jiang Yunting suddenly asked.

If it were anyone else, Ji Xi would have been anxious long ago, but Liu Xie after all held the status of Emperor, and Liu Xie was already an adult; Ji Xi still had to give him the respect due, so Ji Xi never figured out exactly what Liu Xie wanted to say.

Ji Yun did not look at it; instead, he fixed his gaze tightly on Ji Yuan. Ji Yuan was still so clean, yet the warmth that had been woven into his flesh and blood was gone.

The beginning wrote of great praise for Lady Hui Chun's character and full affirmation of her medical skills, stating her character was noble, her virtue profound, her heart that of a benevolent physician, her hands capable of reviving the dying, that she pioneered the practice of opening the abdomen to cut away rotting flesh, and so on, exaggerating to the utmost.

And this Director Song, however, only looked at the script, not at the backstage bosses, so his reputation was even better. Some on the internet even rated Director Song as one of the most approachable directors. Because he was not aloof and unattainable.

Ji Yun's deduction was correct; Shi Zimiao indeed participated in it, and what he sought was undoubtedly Empress He. Furthermore, Ji Xi had also anticipated the matter of Empress He and Shi Zimiao wanting to place Liu Min on the throne.

Now, the uniforms in He City were mostly done, so Liu Tianyi did not need to worry too much.

"..." Feeling Bai Ying's deep self-blame, the skeleton frames all fell silent. Then, before Bai Ying could speak again, an exceptionally tall figure squeezed over from the distance, making a clatter and a rattle along the way, shoving the other skeleton frames this way and that until they were all knocked askew.
