Chapter 130: The Mysterious Network Message

"Very well. Since President Lin is so generous, I, Ye Cheng, shall not decline."

Seeing Lin Moyan like this, Ye Cheng stopped refusing. After all, he was in dire need of this sum of money to expand his business and help accumulate his initial capital.

"Now that other matters are settled, let us formally discuss the collaboration. As for our Lin family..."

Zhang Ye did not finish his sentence. In truth, he wanted to say that blaming him was completely unreasonable and entirely baseless. However, he kept silent, as he did not wish to see Yagyu Munenori grow angry; he feared the unpleasant consequences that might follow should the man lose his temper.

Although they knew that lowering the price of the Great Peiyuan Pill would trigger a buying frenzy, the skyrocketing sales still overwhelmed the Hundred Herbs Hall.

The leader of the bandits clutched his chest, cast a cautious warning look at his subordinates, and then waved his hand.

Ning Yue’s expression turned grim. He had always known that the Heavenly Commander used members of his own clan to nurture the rules, but he never expected the scale to be this vast. He understood all too well what became of those people once the rules were extracted from their bodies: it was a death sentence.

Yagyu Higashi, a Tier 6 practitioner of the Taisu Realm in the Art of Qi, watched as Cang Jianli’s long blade shattered the void like the descent of divine wrath. Daring not to be negligent, he poured all his pure energy into a single strike, slashing toward Cang Jianli.

At this critical juncture, the heat inside the chamber intensified, appearing ready to ignite into open flames. Although those outside were shouting desperately, they dared not force their way in, as Li Zhi had previously instructed that under no circumstances were they to open the doors or windows, lest all previous efforts go to waste.

"My Lord! You execute those who surrender to you. You are narrow-minded and incapable of tolerance. You shall meet a wretched end!" Xue Qing’s curses grew fainter until they vanished entirely.

Upon reaching the gate, Wang Ping'an saw it packed with a dense crowd. He felt relieved; as long as the doctors could pass the test, he would have more confidence in his disaster relief efforts.

A group of men squatted on the ground, holding a wooden mold for mud bricks, shaped somewhat like a pound sign. It had handles extending from the left and right for releasing the bricks, with a bucket of water set to the side.

Following this, Huo Chou spent nearly another hour discussing development strategies and several precautions for holding office.

He was clearly interrogating me with intent. Perhaps he had already reached a conclusion but lacked evidence to prove that Shen Yi had been severely injured that day. I was incredibly tense inside, yet I could not let it show on my face. Gripping my handbag tightly, I walked slowly toward Chen Qiusheng, forcing him to step back.

"Oh, waiting for me here?" Suddenly, Fang Heng's voice came from behind. I turned in surprise, and sure enough, there he was, a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth and covered in dirt.

"What, do you have an objection? Perhaps we should settle this with a fight," the War God declared, brimming with battle intent.

"Everyone, quiet down! Who is spreading rumors that the Lord has fallen in battle? I have received no such orders from Steward Philip, so please return and await further instructions. Do not be deceived by those with ulterior motives." Facing his own people, Daniel had no choice but to offer a meticulous explanation.

"Senior, have we met before?" Tang Juan did not know why, but even though Chu Chen had broken into her room, she could not bring herself to be angry. After glancing at him, she simply asked.

Andrast protected the moon, though his expression remained unchanged.

Regarding business, Wang Nuo was in no hurry. It was Friday the 3rd, and he did not even need to pay attention when the non-farm payroll data was released.

Long-position investors like Blue Sky Fund also knew that Quantai Technology could not afford a crash, so their plan to reduce holdings had to be predicated on a certain depth of buying support.

After walking for only a few minutes, a massive camphor tree appeared before them. Its bark was dark green, and the trunk was entwined with vines as thick as a wrist. Its canopy was immense, and its thick, exposed roots, resembling dragon whiskers, rustled in the breeze, sending a shiver down one's spine.
