Chapter 149: Surveillance

Behind Bai Qingya stood Wang Dashan, and Yin Tiancheng had also been notified.

Upon hearing the news of Bai Qingya’s disappearance, all parties sprang into action immediately and soon found the surveillance footage capturing the incident.

Knowing his sister was in trouble, Bai Qingxue was frantic, exhausting every possible means she could think of—first calling Wang Dashan, then Yin Tiancheng, and finally Lu Fei...

...

Wrapped in a tattered cotton blanket, Jiang Nuanxia appeared emaciated. Her clothes were so filthy their original color was unrecognizable, and her hair was a tangled mess like withered straw, unwashed for who knew how long, emitting a pungent stench.

The room instantly descended into chaos, with many astonished at Shui Tianlan’s boldness. If Moyue took offense, he could crush her with a mere finger.

If the tempering was insufficient, the blade’s edge would be soft and prone to rolling; if over-tempered, the edge would become brittle and easy to break. Proper tempering required an exceptionally seasoned hand.

Xiao Xuezhen arrived at the company and took the executive elevator to the 30th floor, where the expansive office area was entirely dedicated to the president’s office.

Everyone present had long since realized Murong Qiqi was no longer the weakling they could bully at will. Who would dare utter a word against her now?

The young Taoist hesitated slightly upon seeing Xu and the two others behind the man in white, unfamiliar with them, but dared not stop the man in white.

Da Xiong, who had been observing the situation from a third-person perspective, felt a chill when he saw the black longsword gleaming with a dark luster enter his view. He knew this was truly over. He was all too familiar with the black skeletal warrior’s move—any warrior would favor it.

Qin Zongquan recognized the court’s caution toward him and the princess’s courtesy, so he could not refuse further. Bowing, he replied, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness! Thank you, Princess, for your benevolence!” Then he instructed his guards to accept the gift from Huifeng.

But... what did the commander think? Even if reclaiming Liaodong couldn’t be called an unprecedented feat, it was enough to earn everlasting fame.

To exaggerate, as long as Master Shu held the front line, with the turret angled just right, no matter how they fired, it would be impossible to penetrate.

Watching Liu Mei’s vividly red lips, Bu Hui instinctively licked his own lips, slowly leaning in, his heavy breath blowing across her face.

The two looked shocked, but don’t misunderstand—they weren’t surprised that Mu Wu was absent; they were shocked that Lian Aotian and Hai Lan, who supposedly weren’t together, were now reunited.

At that moment, a presence approached, the large doors behind Su Mu closed briefly before opening again.

This girl was temporarily brought in by Ye Hailan and was unfamiliar to everyone. Besides, she had even kidnapped him once—who would have her contact information?

[System Notification] Congratulations on successfully completing the hidden mission “Dragon and Phoenix Pendant: Qingluan’s Longing.”

At this moment, Yu Zinuo could only comply, suppressing all doubts as she hurriedly changed clothes. Upon stepping outside, she indeed saw Leng Shuang waiting anxiously, evidently having been there for some time.

“Behave yourself well. When the time comes, I will definitely take you out to play again,” I smiled faintly, promising her. Naturally, this drew a torrent of exaggerated thanks from Ruyan.

Aren’t these all top-tier experts? And now, in defense against Su Mu’s treachery, someone had actually dropped to one knee? How immense must that force have been?

“Lead the way! I want to see for myself whether this is true or not!” Duan Nantian whipped his long sleeves and shouted furiously.

“Gold Chain, since you lost, you should accept the consequences. Don’t you agree?” Yu Minghui stepped forward from behind Xia Haoyu and said calmly to Gold Chain.

Zhu Sha’s eyes narrowed tightly, never having expected the young Leng Yue to possess such profound and unfathomable cultivation. With a single strike, Hu Quan was left utterly defenseless—truly terrifying to the extreme.
