Chapter 27: If I had known it would be this spectacular, I would have saved it for the Spring Festival Gala.

It is common knowledge that a child’s curiosity is boundless.

Seeing that he did not speak, Tang Tinghe asked again, "Brother Hejing, where did your wife go?"

"I don't know."

Shang Hejing’s voice held no trace of emotion; he clearly did not want to discuss the matter.

"Why don't you know?"

"..."

"Didn't you say she was your wife?"

"..."

"If you're looking to die, then don't blame me." As he spoke, Xie Lingfeng struck out suddenly, flashing in front of a man in an instant, and landed a right hook.

Deng Muyun stood beside Chen Feng and cupped his hands toward the surrounding people. As the host, he naturally had to speak and show his face; it was also a way to compensate for the losses Chen Feng had suffered on behalf of the Cangyun Sect.

Seeing Chen Zhifan standing there in a daze, looking utterly foolish, she pursed her lips and smiled. Far from being disgusted, she winked at him, clearly enjoying his gaze.

Who would have thought that two days ago, Old Brown would suddenly contact him personally to discuss a partnership? Luo Zhengkun was flattered, yet he also found himself analyzing Old Brown’s underlying motives.

"I don't quite understand why the blood of the two officers at the station wasn't drained dry," Zhou Caijiang said.

"You are too kind, Elder Zi," Mo Ke replied quickly. When it came to business, Zi Lingtian was absolutely a master of his craft—a true self-made man, unlike those wealthy scions who relied on family fortunes to secure their first pot of gold.

The coffin was located in the center of the great hall, yet strangely, it was wrapped in several heavy chains and covered with numerous talisman seals.

Under the banners of the other feudal lords, those nations that were indifferent to the peace talks remained calm and detached.

These people were not the ones seen on the surveillance monitors; they were patients from the psychiatric hospital. Their vacant eyes, expressionless faces, and the blue-and-white striped uniforms they wore were proof of their identity.

"Here is a thousand; don't spend it all in one place, heh." Guo Huai chuckled as he pulled a stack from the pile of cash and tossed it to Guo Tongyuan. Guo Tongyuan wanted to say something, but seeing Guo Huai’s indifferent expression, he gritted his teeth, took the money, and walked out.

If he wanted to turn these things into knowledge he could truly master and understand, Wan Qingchun could certainly provide a great deal of help.

"Ouch!" A heart-wrenching scream erupted, and judging by his expression, one would think he was about to depart this world. Acting? Can you out-act me? Just as he was about to land another kick, a low shout echoed from the distance.

Liu Liren carried himself with poise and a serious demeanor, and his words were spoken with genuine sincerity. Yue Weihua was quite satisfied with this and looked forward to Liu Liren’s future development, so he took over the conversation.

"Brother Qingyuan, how about this? To be honest, I am not lacking in merit, so you should leave it for those who truly need it. I’m going to go for a stroll, and if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to the clinic to chat with Yu'er. We haven't seen each other in a long time." With that, Wu Gang turned to leave.

On the other hand, pitting thirty thousand men and five thousand cavalry against one hundred thousand Xiongnu iron riders was truly like throwing an egg against a rock. If there were no other way, perhaps one could risk it all, but that had to be the final resort.

"Wu Da, if you dare to speak, don't blame the Shui family for being ruthless!" Nie Qian’s face turned panicked in an instant.

The Bull Demon smiled helplessly. Sometimes their young master acted like a miser, and other times he was incredibly generous to his subordinates, yet he always maintained a near-fanatical devotion to the treasures he crafted.

The soldier then realized he had been far too impatient. Such an opportunity should have gone to the Colonel first; that he had dared to compete with his superior showed he was truly choosing lust over his own life.

I know that Monkey’s screen displays things differently and even more comprehensively than ours, but sometimes that guy hides things too deeply. You can't outmaneuver such a schemer, so you just have to put up with it.
