Chapter 43: It Is Well Known That Old Jiang Is a Devoted Husband

After the conversation with Yan Chuanzhou, the two parted on bad terms.

Once inside the car, Secretary Chen Xin stole a glance at his president through the rearview mirror.

Noticing Jiang Feng raise his hand to rub his brow, Chen offered words of comfort and consolation.

“President Jiang, you don’t need to be so angry. If Yan Chuanzhou can’t secure that land, his five hundred million yuan project will fall through, and all the preparations will be for nothing. In a way, this is revenge for the Fourth Miss.”

Jiang Feng sighed helplessly, his brows furrowed.

At that moment, Dantai Langtao suddenly felt a dozen intense gazes fixed squarely upon his back, piercing and uncomfortable, making him uneasy to the point that he dared not even turn his head.

“These people are really strange,” Changning muttered quietly after taking her seat. She found the others’ behavior odd—why would anyone run out in such heavy rain? Moreover, they all carried a distinct scent of disinfectant. Changning was all too familiar with that smell, having spent much time in hospitals before.

Turning around a mountain cliff, a triangular river bend filled with numerous machines finally came into view.

At the command, Haichi Du raised his hand, and the surging cavalry behind him immediately halted, standing firm in the wind awaiting new orders.

“…The upright piano is performing very well now. Not only is its tone excellent, but it also saves space and doesn’t clutter the home. Many families with children learning piano have purchased this model…” The buyer, seemingly viewing Gu Chengyun as the decision-maker of the group, kept recommending it to the elderly Gu.

“That’s impossible. Xiao Ming has already seen me shoot at them. Returning would be tantamount to courting death.” Lin Gu rejected the idea outright, without hesitation.

“…!” Totori was surprised. QB’s words were clear on the surface, but Totori always felt there was something more hidden beneath them. What could it be?

“Why don’t we use that spiritual artifact? It can’t be wrong,” a law enforcement officer suddenly proposed.

“Useless,” a man sighed softly, clearly disappointed at Ouyang’s failure.

It is said that the mysterious city lord sent envoys the next day to approach the other two families, seemingly intent on rekindling cooperation.

Song Duanwu spoke this sentence, and Cheng Lulu smiled knowingly, clearly understanding his meaning.

“We’re offering Mr. Zhao a monthly salary of three hundred thousand,” Yu Jing said with a slight smile directed at everyone.

In the world of Venus warriors, the divide between Gold Level Two Stars and Gold Level Three Stars is absolute. Theoretically, a Gold Level Two Star’s combat power equals that of three Gold Level One Stars. Yet a Gold Level Three Star can rival five Gold Level Two Stars, illustrating the immense gap between them.

But Chu Tao continued to stare without moving. The edges of his garment, adorned with a few white feathers, stood out vividly against the dark background.

In a haze, Ruoyu coughed involuntarily. When she finally expelled a coagulated blood clot, her barely covered body shuddered violently as she struggled to open her eyes.

Everything was resolved, yet she showed not a trace of a smile. Wang Xuan’s servitude—what temptation had driven him to willingly drink that cup of poison? At that moment, did he ever consider the harm it might cause to the child in her womb?

But time would not allow her to dwell on sorrow. She closed her eyes, burying all emotions deep within her heart. Boarding the sedan chair already waiting outside Chengqian Palace, she told herself: This time, she would live not just for herself.

Inside the room, Prince Xin’s face was heavy with worry. He had been unable to attend court recently, and confidential reports indicated that great upheaval had already occurred in the imperial court.

The few shadowy figures atop the roof had not expected Sun Fei’s martial prowess to be so formidable. Seeing her fierce swordsmanship, they were all taken aback.

She suddenly noticed that, for a fleeting moment, his gaze softened and brightened, only to immediately return to that cold, emotionless stare directed at her.
