Chapter 114: Suspension

114

Lin Bing was still drowsy and had no desire to get up. Although the environment where he had slept for the past two days was primitive, it was where he had enjoyed his deepest, most restful sleep in years. It was as if his chronic insomnia had been cured here.

"You can stay here if you don't want to get up. I'll head out first to get in touch with our captain; otherwise, he'll be worried," Fang Wenzuan said, looking at Lin Bing, who was still tucked into the heated kang.

"I'm coming with you." Lin Bing immediately climbed down from the warm bed.

Following the directions provided by the woman, Fang Wenzuan and Lin Bing finally found the station and boarded a bus to town. Once they located a public telephone booth, Fang Wenzuan immediately called the Criminal Investigation Brigade.

Cheng Fei learned...

She still remembered that when she first returned to the Mo family, though her expression was cold, there had still been a hint of warmth in her eyes.

Seeing that Nanny Pan’s expression was gentle rather than accusatory, and recalling what Zongzheng Huan had said, Jin Hua felt her anxiety subside slightly.

Jin Chengzhan relaxed. Carpenter Yi was just proud and stubborn; as long as one acted with integrity and a clear conscience, one didn't need to fear anything.

The two lucky pouches were each embroidered with yellow silk thread. One read: "A harmonious union for a hundred years," and the other: "Peace and safety throughout the years." On the back, both were embroidered with: "From the elders in Chinatown."

Yi Yuanfei looked them over and thought they seemed quite nice. Jin Chengji and Jin Chengkang looked like they had come together to find their father.

After all, this matter had nothing to do with them, and there was no need to offend the wealthy and powerful Wan family for the sake of strangers.

Even if the child was good-looking, he probably wasn't very likable, as he was a textbook example of a brat—truly a headache.

It wasn't about silencing anyone; since everything had been made clear, what was there left to silence? It was just cleaning up a pest; someone always had to die.

Although Su Heng’s room was exquisitely decorated, it felt too lifeless. Every time Qin Jinyu visited, she felt a sense of oppression and had long thought about adding something bright to the space.

The top directors in Hong Kong had all come up through the golden age of the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Every director had spent time in major film companies, so it was only natural that they were familiar with one another. Besides, directors from Hong Kong loved to stick together.

Situ Yao left this instruction and strode away. Seeing his hurried demeanor, Yun You did not try to keep Situ Rui. However, she felt a bit melancholy regarding his promise to reward her in a few days.

Upon hearing this, Qin Susu was slightly stunned. So... was he showing concern for her? She shook her head slightly and raised an eyebrow. Leaving was natural; she had no intention of dying with him. Yet, before she could depart, arrows began to fly in from all sides, scattering across the ground.

"Shenwu, you remember that fatty, don't you?" The "fatty" Du Yuesheng referred to was the man whose brain had been blown out by a shot from Wang Yaqiao.

The two rushed to the front courtyard. Wei Shuisheng and Li Erhuai, dressed in pitch-black night-traveling clothes, were sitting on the chairs on the left, drinking tea. Li Zongliang sat at the head of the table, frowning as he watched an old garrison soldier crawling in the middle of the room, wailing with snot and tears, unsure if he was kowtowing or begging for mercy.

"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Qin Susu suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with killing intent. Her expression made Ouyang Jin feel a shiver of fear. "Tell me, was the previous method a lie too? It had no effect at all, did it?" Otherwise, why hadn't Baili Cangming’s poison been cured?

With that, he tapped his finger on the primordial cold jade encased in the origin stone. With a sharp crack, it split open, and an extreme chill instantly enveloped the area. Centered on the blue-glowing primordial cold jade, a layer of ice began to spread.

It wasn't until evening that Ye Zixuan finally appeared at the inn. After entering his room looking exhausted and resting for a while, he finally got up and walked to Shen Yunyou’s room.

When Huo Chen saw the scene, he wanted to rush forward to save her, but to his surprise, Mu Wanqing threw down her bow and arrows, grabbed the reins with both hands, and actually managed to tame the horse.

"You were eavesdropping on us again!" Mo Youran’s face darkened further, while Zuo Zhan turned his back, his lips curling into a slight smile.
