Chapter 621: Rest in Peace

Lu Jiawei placed the plum in his arms onto the low stool, then kissed her tiny face again, carefully studied her once more, and finally stood up with a firm grit of his teeth.

“Dad, Mom~”

His gaze swept toward the two elderly figures standing nearby.

“Son~” Zhang Guifang cried out in grief.

Lu Changyuan’s lips quivered, but he ultimately said nothing.

Lu Jiawei suddenly knelt down and bowed his head several times to the two.

“What are you doing—”

At that moment, footsteps came from outside, then the door swung open and a towering figure nearly one meter eighty tall stepped in—it was Tai Hu.

Look at the basketball team—forget about Chai Yunwei and Dong Hao; all five starters are campus stars, while the judo club has always been lifeless, everyone getting thrown around just to scrape by for credits, with not a single standout athlete to speak of.

This further confirmed their suspicion: the upstairs had more rooms, but downstairs had only two. If they let Su Yuya sleep upstairs, it would feel a bit like guilt.

Factory owners go bankrupt, property speculators make fortunes, university professors live in poverty, while popular actors are worth millions. Can hard work lead to wealth? Can knowledge lead to wealth? What’s wrong with our society?

Wang Fang remained silent, watching Chongzhen, his eyes filled with pity and sorrow, but occasionally, when he turned his head, a flicker of grim satisfaction flashed across his face.

Song Xiaodong nodded, then watched Qian Shouyang enter the company, where the security guards at the entrance all bowed to him.

Liu Shiba squinted, gazing through the glass window at the madam below, her face twisted with a vicious glare fixed on the VIP suite.

Under the influence of this tense atmosphere, everyone felt their blood seem to boil.

Of course, all this requires participants to sign confidentiality agreements; the one-million-dollar prize will be held temporarily in the Gigabit Club’s member account under the participant’s minor name, automatically unlocked when they turn eighteen. Should the participant urgently need funds during this period, they may apply to the association for early withdrawal.

Qingyu reluctantly took the sobering soup from his hand, closed her eyes, and drank a sip with a look of grim determination—immediately, the bitterness sank deep into her mind, nearly making her drop the bowl, her face contorting in agony as she forced it down, sticking out her tongue to try to lessen the taste.

Su Jinseng, who had been idly playing with her fingers, knew full well that Huo Yuan was upset again—but she truly had no power to help.

“I’m sorry, but I cannot agree to this request, as it concerns the safety of our counter-terrorism personnel; if their identities are exposed, they will face retaliation from terrorists, so I cannot agree.” said the Chinese ambassador.

“Ye Tian, I will make you understand that fighting me in this lifetime is your greatest mistake!” Wu Yang’s expression hardened, a terrifying gust of force roared forth, carrying crushing pressure as if shattering the heavens.

As Wang Cheng and Li Yong traveled across the Three Qin region seeking those who had practiced the Mo Luo Internal Skill, Lu Heng—never having hidden his whereabouts—once again became the epicenter of the entire martial world’s storm.

Clearly, she knew that Madam Wang had always disliked Lin Daiyu—and could even guess that Jia Rong had appointed Jia Baoyu as clan head for Daiyu’s sake.

Lüe didn’t wait for his reply; he got out of the car, and the moment he stepped out, the five golden characters “Li’an English-Chinese Middle School” blazed before his eyes.

Across the entire Zhuque Star, there was only one sixth-level cultivation nation, over a hundred fifth-level cultivation nations, and countless fourth-level cultivation nations.

In truth, this was unavoidable: there were few engineering units left on Mine Star Five, and all of them had been ordered to carry 200mm laser cannons to dismantle the Kong Li corpse, so all miners were using the most basic methods to haul the Kong Li shells, clearly lacking manpower.
