Chapter 40: Let Us See Who Has the Last Laugh

"Director Guo, everything is ready." Chen Daming walked out of the bedroom, looking at the middle-aged man with full anticipation.

After a simple farewell, Su Chen and Leng Ning mounted the Crimson Feather Eagle and flew towards the direction of the Imperial City.

Terrible, Wu Zhenlong. Thinking this, he stopped channeling his internal energy into the jade talisman. As soon as the strange light on the jade talisman vanished, the searching martial artists over there slashed down directly.

The larger the Red Scorpion grew, the angrier he became, and his attacks grew heavier as well. Yet, no matter what he did, he could not touch a single hair of Yang Fan.

Wei Linghui collapsed limply on the ground. She looked over and over again at the memories related to Lu Zhengye: Lu Zhengye's photographs, the clothes and shoes Lu Zhengye used to wear, the clothes Lu Zhengye had bought for her, their marriage certificate, and a train ticket.

"Brother, rest assured. Yuan has already made proper arrangements for that young lady. Brother can now focus entirely on cultivation," Yuan Kui said with a faint smile, a strange glint flashing in his eyes, as if implying that Song Zheng and Zhao Qian shared a rather close relationship.

The control effect of the Evil Spirit Pill was terrifying indeed. However, given enough time and assistance from others, expelling it was not all that difficult.

Even if a bunch of entities were truly influencing the real world subconsciously from behind the scenes, without a method to identify the individuals affected by them, nor a way to determine which events were the desires of the gods, what difference was there between these gods and their non-existence as far as one was concerned?

Zhou Rui turned his head and looked at that delicate face blurred by rain and tears. He extended his index finger to gently lift Angel's chin and kissed her slowly.

"Which contact should handle this?" Yang Dashan stared fixedly at the encampment over there, rubbing his hands as he calculated how to execute the plan.

This was a world of men, a world of the sea, a world of pirates, a world of the strong, and likewise a world filled with adventure and passion. This was the world of the King of Pirates.

"Yes, Sir!" Batu gave Zao Guoquan a standard military salute and withdrew. Only Zao Guoquan remained in the room, his figure cast by the lamplight onto the window, lingering long without extinguishing, appearing exceptionally lonely.

"Vice President, long live! I love you to death..." Before Hyogo Makoto could finish his sentence, he felt two gazes as piercing as phantoms cutting through the sun stab straight into his heart, forcing him to swallow the remaining half of his words.

After handing over the Weng family's address in London to Andrei, Feng Yifeng and the others left. As for how Andrei would speak with the mining operation, that was not something they needed to worry about. Feng Yifeng was now pondering how to explain things to Weng Meiling; being out for a day and ending up injured would definitely invite an earful from Mother Weng.

The entrance opened into the interior of a house, complete with a bed. Thus, Alrick had initially thought they were in some pitch-black place where you couldn't see your own fingers.

Saying this, as if feeling it was simply too shameful, Alrick finished his final sentence and bolted westward at lightning speed. Following closely behind him in a full sprint were the rest of the team members.

At a time like this, a man's mind has generally lost the rationality of thought, having been completely overwhelmed by primitive animal instincts.

"Dreams and reality can be worlds apart. I'm afraid I could work for a lifetime and still never afford a sports car like this," Carina Lau smiled wryly and shook her head. Although she didn't know the exact value of the car, she occasionally read magazines and had a rough idea that without over a million, it was certainly out of the question.

The space that was originally a chapel had been converted into a banquet hall. The host of the banquet had not yet arrived, and a dozen commanding officers and captains of the Shun navy warships sat around the banquet tables, chatting and laughing in low voices.

"Biotechnology, to what stage has it progressed?" Chen Chen naturally understood Leonard's intent and immediately asked the question.

Lifting her light brown eyes lazily, Mo Ningxin figured that Mi Ying must be coming to make her drink those unnamable soups again.

The person on the ground was quite cooperative as well. Even before Shangguan Ling could kick him a few times, he slowly rolled off to the side on his own.

"Senior Brother Ding has profound concentration, and Wushuang's techniques end here, unable to shake Senior Brother's mind. In this duel, Wushuang admits defeat with absolute conviction." [The Lute Fairy] parted her red lips slightly, her voice round and melodious like a string of pearls rolling across a jade plate, possessing a soul-captivating charm.

As for Xia Anlan and Su Ningmei, the two had changed into traditional Chinese formal attire and were ready to serve tea to the elders.

Yan Qingsi's body was suddenly shoved hard to the side, and Madam Yue blocked herself in front of her.

Previously, his mother had also brought this matter up with him, but always in a very subtle manner—she certainly wouldn't bring it up openly in front of everyone.

You Yi checked his watch every fifteen minutes. This case involved a large number of people, some of whom held real power in important departments, and rounding them up would consume a considerable amount of time.

To his surprise, Xia Weixi merely gave her an expressionless look, then turned around gracefully and walked away without looking back, leaving behind only his cold and aloof silhouette.

When that dark-skinned hacker saw the notepad suddenly pop up on his screen, he instantly leaped out of his chair.

Beiming Xu and Lan Mei did not linger long in the Xuanming Mansion and headed straight to the experimental base.

Gao Xiang looked at Xia Liang as she raised her head and gazed at him with a bewildered expression, and his heart instantly melted into a puddle. He wished he could knead her into his very bones and blood; perhaps only then would the ferocious beast roaring inside his body—provoked by Xia Liang's unconscious act of protecting him just moments ago—finally calm down.

After tidying everything up and preparing to leave for the company, he knew that as long as Yang Jiujiu wasn't around, he wouldn't bother cooking.
