Chapter 186: 181 Suspension of Trading

——Jiahan Forestry is collapsing!

——No, Jiahan Forestry has already collapsed!

These were two news headlines released by Yahoo Finance on August 14, 2009, at approximately 11: 0 a. . and 11: 0 a. ., just half an hour apart.

The largest private forestry company in the Northern Hemisphere!

Market capitalization exceeding five billion U. . dollars!

Analysts previously believed it might break ten billion U. . dollars this year!

Never mind rivaling any giant corporation,

Without a word, Ye Zhen handed Doctor Zhang a silver ingot and had Feihong escort him out of the courtyard; she then brought over a chair, sat before the potted plant, her dark, bright eyes fixed on the flowers, her hand unconsciously tapping the pot, producing a tinkling sound, while a cold smile curled at her lips.

Among the five final candidates, they still chose the most unyielding Shen Xingwuji. Upon hearing the news, Shen Xingwuji actually found it acceptable—if he died in the Blood Duel Pool, it would be a fitting end.

Gao Yue could not fail to notice the princes' disdain and indifference toward her; though she danced alone like a beauty in motion, graceful and captivating, none of them showed interest, their expressions calm—only Jun Ninglan had glanced a few times, yet with no real attention. Gao Yue felt humiliated, as if utterly disregarded.

Even if it was deserved, he would bear it. He had come this far; he would not abandon the Hua family's empire. Once again, his mind flashed with the image of his mother's wide, furious eyes in the rented apartment, moments before her death.

Lian Erma also sensed something was off about her husband's demeanor today—normally he rode his bike, so why was he walking home? Lian Erma gasped: "Where's your bicycle?"

"Boss, let me go." Yicuomao was desperate to prove himself. During his fight with Mu Zheng, he hadn't wanted to kill him—he knew Mu Zheng was severely wounded. If he didn't seize the opportunity now, Zhang Dawei and the two brothers would snatch it.

At that moment, two tricycles burst through the rain and sped into the intersection of Laoxi Street; a screeching brake pierced the air, and a dozen figures in rain capes leapt down—the lead figure, thin and tall, was Zhe Wudi.

If she belonged to him, he would never let her suffer so deeply. What left him most powerless was watching her pain—his own heart ached in sympathy, yet he could do nothing.

Forget it, don't fight over anything anymore. Xue Xing said, "Stutterer, if you can't bear to let go, just keep carrying it. You've carried it this far—maybe it'll come in handy."

Just as Shen Xingwuji was about to begin cultivating the Spiral Heart Method, the ground suddenly shook violently! What was happening? Was a powerful enemy attacking—or was the Earth Dragon turning?

Regarding Heixueji's reaction, Ryan didn't bother pondering why; he placed his head back on the table.

Tang Jun smiled and said, "Drink enough, that's enough. No one needs to show off. I hate drinking too much—I've got work tomorrow, and drinking too much only makes you miserable."

Witnessing this scene, everyone's faces filled with terror; they scrambled out of the inn in haste, and in the blink of an eye, only Lu Wuchen and a few others remained.

Zhang Wei had also done the Land Map affair and had committed land seizures and murders before, but being seized and killed himself? This was his first time—he was furious. The other girls were absolutely enraged.

A warm fragrance came from behind; Han Feng felt two soft pressures against his back, like cottony mountains pressing against him.

"Third Brother, why are you drooling too?" Ye Fan said with a teasing grin, glancing at Lu Wuchen.

Jin Guang and the others were on the verge of tears; knowing they had erred, they dared not speak, bowed respectfully to the Fat One, then each walked out, light-hearted, to return to their rooms and cultivate.

Madame Mei pulled a tissue from her bag and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead; her expression radiated confidence—the quiet, cherished look behind true happiness.

"I'm sorry—it's precisely because you're not my match that I was forced to use drugs. I truly apologize!" Nie Yinmeng said with deep regret, and as if regaining control of her body, she slowly sat up.
