Chapter 37: Turning the Tables

Xue Xue’s eyes fixed tightly on Su Tian. “Who do you think you are? What gives you the right? This is the Chen Corporation, not a place where you can run wild.”

News of Su Tian’s standoff with the three of them had already spread throughout the Chen Corporation.

Even others had come over to persuade Xue Xue to negotiate with Su Tian.

“Sir, this is the Chen Group…”

Ding Jie had mentioned that Mu Zhijun was only with her to exact revenge. Considering his past actions, this seemed quite plausible.

For him, happiness was truly as fleeting as a passing cloud. When he had just let go of his guarded heart, he believed he could be with Yu Yao forever because Yu Yao had remembered that she was Yuer, and thus, they could be happy.

Jian Yijun sat motionless on the sofa, her silent face finally revealing a trace of unnatural panic.

When it came to matters of the heart, that man was like a wild beast from the start. Do you think a beast understands human words?

I felt a chill run through me under that gaze. Those eyes were like a cosmic black hole, drawing people in. I had never imagined an unborn child could have such terrifying eyes.

The sedan curtain was made of a sheer, semi-transparent gauze. Du Ruo couldn’t name this fabric—it was clear to see out from inside, but from outside, the view in was hazy and indistinct.

After hearing my words, Ling Yefeng was unwilling to accept it. “What do you mean she doesn’t spend money? Doesn’t his family have money to spend?”

He only felt his legs being pulled in first, then his hips caught, yet he continued to sink because the hole was gradually widening. Once it was large enough to accommodate his hips, he would inevitably slide in like those before him, and at that moment, he could already feel the cold, damp chill of the legs submerged beneath.

Little did he know, Jiang Zufeng was acting deliberately—partly to humiliate him, and partly to lure Jiang Yang back to remove Zhuang Yan.

Hurriedly tying his white shirt, he apologized anxiously, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to—actually, this… uh…” Flustered and bewildered, he found himself at a loss for words.

“I know, but it’s better than waiting here to die! Retreat!” With that, I and the three others swiftly began withdrawing toward the abandoned factory.

“Come on, isn’t this just cheating?” Many sat dejectedly on the ground, fiddling with their guns.

Seeing this, Zhuang Jian immediately revealed his identity. They rarely moved about in the clan, so the token proved more effective.

“Shan Cheng, calm down! Yi Ying has been with me all along; how could she have betrayed us?” Huo Qiong said.

Thus, after the Dragon-Tiger Fiend arrived in Xiuxian City, he commanded the Skywolf Beast, Flying Wolf Beast, Terror Wolf Beast, and Cloud Wolf Beast—four generals—to set up defenses, awaiting the arrival of the official army.

“I think you’re the one feeling uneasy! Get lost!” Instantly, Guo Nianfei’s presence exploded. The security guard shuddered under her shout, gripping his electric baton tighter, while others stared dumbfounded as the guard chattered nervously.

After everyone left, only Gu Luo remained inside the punishment hall. Earlier, Qing Yue had instructed him to stay after the award ceremony, as there was an important matter to discuss.

En Jing had long grown accustomed to such rumors. Without this tolerance, how could one survive as a celebrity?

“Hey! It’s nothing really, mainly because I’m handsome.” Luo Cheng dramatically flicked his bangs, clearly indulging in self-admiration.

“Li Heizi on the phone specifically emphasized wanting the piece of land belonging to the sect!” Shi Daoran said dejectedly, then sank into deep thought.

After Li Tianchen announced his name, Chu Tianshu looked puzzled. He had never heard the name before, and judging by Li Tianchen’s earlier display, he seemed to wield lightning power. No Li-family master in the ancestral star had ever cultivated such a power before.
