Chapter Ninety-Seven: The True Face

A little over ten minutes ago, the King of Shannan was still addressing Bian Ye as a master, but now he had become a quack and a worthless fool. His hatred for Lu Fei had sunk so deep into his bones that even if Lu Fei saved his life, he would still find a way to take revenge.

"Drag him farther away before you kill him."

Lu Fei spoke carelessly. Bian Ye was a man of vile character, and if he died, he would only be getting what he deserved.

"Hey, that quack nearly killed my sister..."

After hearing the bell, Wang Lang, Kong Yi, and the others immediately ran toward the observation tower.

"At the very least, I still have to give you something to eat! Do you know why I, your old brother, chose to go up the mountain and become a bandit?" the old ruffian asked with his mouth full, crunching noisily on dried meat.

The Japanese officer took the pepper bottle, all smiles, and nodded. "Yes, yes." Then he sprinkled pepper into the soup.

After Du Xueqian left, Yulin began considering how these medicines should be handled. They were naturally meant to be sent to the Soviet North base, but how could they be taken out? Yulin thought of Mark at St. Mary's Hospital.

The Academy Festival was drawing near, and every class was busily preparing. Lessons had already been suspended four days earlier. With the vice president leading the effort, other department heads lending support, and the teachers and dean opening every door in convenience, Yuehua Academy had been transformed entirely.

Though there was no shortage of hairy crabs, making creamy crab roe butter was terribly troublesome. It was all his own fault for being so impulsive—why had he gone and added it to the menu?

After gathering her thoughts, Razel kept her face pale, her expression unchanged, betraying nothing unusual. Once she left the restroom, she joined Laho, Karas, and Luohuawu, who had been waiting outside, and together they headed deeper in.

Mu Lin thought for a long while, but she could not come up with any reason at all. She could hardly say it was because this was a system mission.

Of course, once the win rate rose, they were very likely to be matched against a boosting team, after all, the New Century game also had to keep things balanced somehow.

Even more valuable was the fact that Xu Changge understood how to look at the bigger picture and untangle every relationship among the people involved.

"Consider yourself sensible. I bought this dress from a designer shop for six thousand yuan. You ruined it, and now I can't wear it. Pay me enough for a new one, and we'll call this settled," Pan Xueling said with righteous certainty.

As he sank into the exquisite sensation, Lin Rong's expression gradually grew calm. He stood utterly still. The marvelous feeling made him forget everything, and even his thoughts seemed to stop.

By now, he could not care about any of that. The Qin family's garment factory had already been acquired by someone else. If he could not raise the money, not only would they fail to reclaim the factory, the entire Qin family would be ruined.

After a few breaths, the deeply furrowed brows of Wen Yunshu slowly relaxed. He did his utmost to conceal his panic and fear.

Right, he could not stand here in a daze. He still had to inspect the blood pool. To his astonishment, the blood pool from moments ago seemed to have vanished all at once, as if it had been erased from existence. Before him now was only a huge pit, with not a trace of blood left, as though that blood pool had never existed at all.

"So, how should this be dealt with?" Zhang Qiye looked at Ye Chen and asked the question on his mind.

As for this matter, Qin Shang had long anticipated that Ye Chen would bring it up. After all, he had already seen Ye Chen's hidden trump card, and it was obviously unrealistic to simply let him walk away. Of course, if the roles were reversed, he would have done the same, and that brought a wry smile to his face.

The meaning was the same, but there was still a considerable gap between it and the host's filtered understanding.

This was a state-of-the-art smart lock. So far, no hacker or hacking system had been able to crack it. Added to that was the security system modified by Bo Yuan himself, so this code lock had no limit on the number of input attempts.

I was struck with terror. I wanted to reach into my backpack for a gas mask or a face mask to put on, but I discovered that my hands no longer obeyed me. No matter how fiercely my mind urged them on, I could not move them in the slightest. They felt as though they had been filled with lead, heavy beyond belief.
