Chapter 61: Joined Together

The man who suddenly broke into Su Ruoxi’s life brought about an earth-shattering change. It wasn’t just because of matters related to the company’s business, but more so because he had touched something deep within her heart. Sitting before her dressing table, Su Ruoxi began to re-examine her own feelings. She had never felt her heart moved by anyone before, except for Lin Yu—especially that day when he stepped in and helped her teach Wang Wan a lesson.

...

But the condition was that the Crown Prince must die. He had already dispatched his most capable men to intercept him along the road.

“It might also be a turning point,” Shen Nianyi said, though he knew his words were little more than consolation. Still, the Emperor was young, yet able to maintain his composure, answering questions with poise and courtesy—Shen Nianyi had to regard him in a new light.

No matter how powerful the Ye family was, they were still strangers in Shanghai. To have orchestrated such a large operation and quietly acquired so much explosives, they must have had help from others.

Du Gu Rui, with her head of purple hair, bit her lip and wore a look of righteous indignation as she gazed with deep concern at Du Gu Yang, lying unconscious in bed.

Dongfang Yuping’s crimson tongue darted rapidly from his mouth, striking the ground in a flurry of movements. Each strike left a deep pit in the earth, and from each pit rose a crimson elder’s form.

Dongfang Yuping remained silent. He knew Blue Fatty was right. But the video footage he had seen just now was simply too shocking. It forced him to ponder and verify the matter from many different angles.

“Grandmother, for these five years, I’ve hardly set foot outside the house. Where could I possibly have met such a distinguished person?” Chun Niang smiled bitterly.

At that moment, someone submitted a report accusing He Zhu of embezzling military funds. When He Lin heard of it, he went to seek help from Prince Ren. Perhaps out of guilt, or perhaps because Prince Ren truly trusted He Zhu, he spoke on his behalf before Emperor Yongchang, and the matter was quietly set aside.

Others agreed, and so Ji Shi Lian was dismissed on the spot. He Xi, already dizzy from exhaustion, decided to bathe and go to sleep. As there was some time before the water boiled, he idly considered going to finish the fantasy theater instead.

Looking at these things, Lin Zhan was so excited his body trembled. With these resources, the Lin family could finally cultivate many exceptional martial artists. From now on, they would no longer have to live under anyone else’s shadow.

Perhaps because she had finally laid her worries to rest, Ning Churan slept soundly through the night, waking only at dawn.

“It’s fine, really. As long as I leave the hospital, he won’t do anything to me,” Lin Fan chuckled. It was clear that Xia Ruoli was truly innocent.

Meanwhile, Su Jingting and Mei Yali’s three roommates also revealed that Mei Yali had been earning manuscript fees since high school. As a result, the rumors spread by Zhuang Meiyu about Mei Yali plagiarizing naturally fell apart on their own.

As for Bo Lianchen, he had never cared about such things—looks, heartthrobs, these matters meant nothing to him.

Tang Xiangnuan turned over in bed, convinced she was still dreaming. But after keeping her eyes closed for a few more seconds, she suddenly snapped them open.

Originally, the quilt had been covering the man, but with one pull, his entire body was exposed before Tang Xiangnuan’s eyes.

But everyone knew that when Yuan Ge used his puppet arts, he would always hide himself to avoid his true body being discovered and attacked by the enemy. So it was not surprising that no one saw his real form.

The butler brought Song Xue a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. Though the clothes were comfortable and clearly not cheap, Song Xue had never worn something so plain before. She couldn’t help but frown, but forced herself to endure it when the butler looked her way.

“Your Highness, if I may ask bluntly, what do you think everyone has come to follow you for?” Bada inquired, a strange glint flickering in his eyes.
