Chapter 57: A Deadly Warning

Inside the car window, a thin layer of mist blurred the silhouette within. Human beings are never ruled by their thoughts, but rather by uncontrollable passions and desires. Though she was unwilling, though her heart resisted, her body never obeyed her will; again and again, she lost her reason. Such reluctance and entanglement, it was as if they truly loved each other deeply. Only when everything was over, she...

Qin Suya spoke gracefully, and Ge Tianxing listened attentively. After all, he knew quite a lot about the matter and was very familiar with Lin Xiu. Chu Qinghe, too, pricked up her ears—she never let slip anything relating to Lin Xiu.

The results of such actions brought him immense achievement, but at the same time, consumed nearly all his energy. Seemingly shrewd and capable, he had squeezed out every last bit of strength from himself. Not only was he already exhausted, but his mind had also become hopelessly muddled.

The riding attire finally arrived. The two changed clothes and drove to the nearest Feng family ranch.

At the freshman reception area, the crowd was packed three layers deep inside and out. Dragging her luggage and covering her neck, mottled with kiss marks, she felt overwhelmed. She thought she had arrived early enough, but evidently, there were many others even more eager.

She suddenly punched the thug, “You! Calling me brother, teasing me, hitting me, hitting Qian Suo, kidnapping me—you must be tired of living!” With every accusation, she landed a punch.

“Master, try this dish. It’s made from fifth-rank tiger meat—not only is it delicious, but it can also enhance your spiritual power!” Chun’er, to Qian Jing’s left, spoke as she pressed herself closer to him, while Dong’er on the right was not to be outdone, picking up a piece of foie gras and squeezing in as well.

“Of course I believe in your abilities! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have transferred Old Xie’s treasured subordinate over. You are my number one choice!” Liu Yangming, for once, cracked a joke.

The security guards gathered around, curious as they inspected the fierce vehicle. They had seen it in military magazines but never in person. The security captain, a former special forces soldier, was familiar with the vehicle, since their unit was issued one, so he wasn’t particularly impressed.

Jun Yixie raised his glass, toasting the bright moon outside the window. His heart reached for the moon, but the moon, alas, shone upon the ditch.

The basement floor was David’s activity room. So-called “ball play” consisted of him wildly kicking the soccer ball, then Ye Li fetching it and placing it at his feet.

Ye Tianze landed in front of the great hall, suddenly sensing a murderous aura brushing past him. The ring in his hand emitted a fierce light, growing hot at his fingertips.

“Why aren’t you asleep?” Qin Lang entered, seeing Ye Li curled up on the sofa watching television. He casually set his laptop bag and coat aside, came over, gently embraced her, and kissed her.

That air of composure and the way he handled matters—these were not qualities of an ordinary person. If he had offended someone important, the consequences could be unimaginable.

Right now, their information was unclear. Acting rashly might drag Yun Yang and the others into trouble, so they had to get to the bottom of things.

Several shadowy figures, weapons in hand, rushed toward Lou Ying. Knowing his identity, they restrained themselves and did not strike to kill.

As long as Bai Yuhuan and Leng An stood together, the Blackfire Shrine would have nothing to do with the Gu family, because Gu Chengwang would immediately leave with Lu Feng.

None among them had the strength to notice, but Jiuyin saw it all clearly: he was afraid—afraid of that blood-red petal at the hem of her skirt?

Now, all he hoped for was that Yanran would stay by his side forever, and that alone would satisfy him.

She stood up, brushed the dust from her clothes with two pats, but something felt amiss. Why did her clothes seem a little heavier than before?
