Chapter 278

"The killer who murdered me committed suicide," Zhao Xuerong said to Shen Siyuan.

Her expression did not look happy; instead, it carried an unmistakable sorrow and loss.

When she returned, she went to see Yu Qiaoling again, expecting her to turn herself in, but she never imagined Yu Qiaoling would be so extreme—she chose suicide outright.

Yu Qiaoling had naturally seen her too; though her desires were plain, her reason had not vanished, and upon seeing Zhao Xuerong, she immediately shielded her daughter.

Zhao Junchen and Zhao Shancai sat at the table, neither speaking at first, merely sizing each other up.

It was not surprising that Xia Lan knew about Magnis stealing Bayerd's research—there were few famous quests in the game's original memory, and future Hermia was one, Bayerd another, though Bayerd's quest occurred much earlier than Hermia's.

But today was the first game of the series, and since Xie Chen had just won MVP, Popovich knew Xie Chen's mood wouldn't be bad today; his strategy would only take effect after two or three games.

The ball was passed to Durant anyway, because Durant could score more easily even with defenders nearby; he dribbled all the way past half-court, reached the three-point line, saw the clock about to expire, and immediately shot from beyond the arc.

"Yes, as you commanded. Your subordinate has gathered all the information—my lord, which part would you like to hear first?" Ma Enke stood behind Huo Laibasi, head bowed respectfully.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Yun'er hanging laundry on the second-floor balcony—wearing a white hoodie on top and what looked like athletic pants with an elastic waistband, the kind middle schoolers wear, very homey.

The black-robed figure swung his long blade, and immediately, tiles on the roof of Forsay Palace cracked with a series of sharp sounds, as mysterious figures dropped down one after another.

Then, as she ran past him, Anuo gripped the spear's shaft with his right hand, yanked it out in one swift motion—no time was wasted at all.

A few bullets struck the target's shimmering silver shell directly, but left no mark.

Xu realm's meeting was concise: she simply said the Blackwater City incident was of great importance, that senior leadership was highly concerned, and that anyone who gained anything from it would be a great hero for all humanity in the apocalypse—typical rhetoric from the provisional government, which always saw itself as humanity's savior, used often to boost morale.

The man, seeing her smile, could no longer hold back—he grabbed her pale, soft hand and gently caressed it.

"It's late. Go back," Ye Zhihan gave her no reply, merely stood up, spoke, and walked out.

Make sure she doesn't misunderstand, doesn't think Lin Feifei is truly close to him—does she even know where his secret base is?

Yun Shu gripped his hand and stood up; as soon as she took a step, pain shot through her foot again, and her body tilted helplessly to the right.

"Big Guai, tomorrow we're going on a trip with Dad and Mom," the two brothers still talked about the trip as they walked back to their room.

The signing event went smoothly; the manga fans never expected the supposed otaku uncle to be a cold-featured, charismatic man—when Ke Weilun appeared, the entire crowd erupted in stunned cheers, and the atmosphere instantly reached its peak.

Xu Suining watched his demeanor and regretted being so kind to him when he was sick—he didn't understand gratitude at all; perhaps he'd been moved briefly, but once he recovered, he forgot everything.

"Let him go. I'll drink with you," Jiang Ye stared at him expressionlessly, his voice calm.

She glanced at the large clock in the living room—it was time to treat Ruan Jiaxin; thinking of this, she walked upstairs.

And Xu Meiqi remained completely trapped in the spell of Ye Zhihan's "beauty," unable to free herself.
