Chapter Fifty-Six: A Matter of Record

Lu Chenzhou lowered his head and smiled faintly, yet there was a trace of bitterness beneath that smile. Soon, however, he regained his composure and said to Sai Hazhi, "Commander, I am here under the Crown Prince's orders to investigate the imperial tomb case. I overheard what was just said. May I join the upcoming interrogation?"

Sai Hazhi hesitated momentarily but quickly agreed to Lu Chenzhou’s request.

At that moment, Wen Lun suddenly spoke up, "I am related to Director Lu, so I must recuse myself to avoid any conflict of interest."

Sai Hazhi responded, "Master Wen—"

Ming Hen lifted the curtain to look outside, but before he could see clearly, his hair fell into his face, obscuring his view.

Although Shen Gu was not particularly tall, nor short, among his peers, his height was always considered above average.

After all, Lu Qingling was diligent and virtuous, truly an ideal wife to bring home. No matter how I behaved outside, she wouldn’t interfere. If I ever felt upset, I could even vent by giving her a good scolding. Besides, she was so beautiful that taking her out always brought prestige.

Lu Youyou was somewhat surprised; judging by the tone of the boss’s voice, Ling Zhaoting appeared to be a regular customer here.

They could hardly contain their eagerness to see the magical beasts devour those trembling people—just imagining it was enough to thrill them.

A sudden chill spread across the skin, followed by sharp pain as a bloody blade slashed across Su Xuanyan’s arm under the forceful pull.

During this period, I seemed to have been preoccupied with the engagement and company affairs. My understanding of Yin Zhenxing extended only to knowing he had little time left.

Such strength was truly terrifying, not only startling the brown-haired man but also filling him with dread.

However, considering Lin Xiao’s previous impressive record, Huang the Lame chose to remain low-key, leaving a margin of ten percent for both himself and the opponent.

The elderly man fainted, and it was wise not to move him carelessly. After all, the situation was uncertain—any movement could trigger yet another disaster.

Your gentle smile seemed like the only warm sunshine in winter, shining through the cracks and illuminating my heart, brightening my life.

“Dr. Bai?” Zheng Bin stared dumbfounded at the girl before him, his voice faltering as he called her name.

Qi Liaoliao was not surprised at all. She said, “In most cases, there is nothing absolutely impossible to do; it’s merely a matter of weighing pros and cons.”

Before dawn, Min Yunshu had already risen. Jincai, Iceblade, and Weimao attended to Min Yunshu’s washing and grooming.

Miao Ran nodded in agreement and went to the post office to make a call. To avoid worrying her family, she only said she had encountered a girl resembling Zhang Qingfang who had fainted on the road. They had no choice but to take her to the hospital to save her. Since Zhang Qingfang might be a lost relative, she intended to stay a day or two longer until the girl woke up before returning.

Nalan Tongying tugged at the corner of her lips and smiled, “Let’s hope so!” With that, she flicked her long sleeve and left the Yueyang Palace with an air of satisfaction.

With Bao Guo and those soldiers in green uniforms on her father’s side, Miao Ran was not overly worried. If it was truly about money, Miao Er would not act rashly without having the item. Of course, he would never find it in this lifetime.

The silenced gunshot sounded like popping corn. After a single shot, the black bear, tortured by its survival instinct and hatred for who knows how long, finally closed its eyes. The expression it wore in its final moments forever etched itself into Miao Ran’s heart.

The meaning was clear: don’t make a fuss anymore. If a bottle breaks, you must compensate. As for Wanwan, she can always earn more. As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.

“Lord Chao Ding is too kind. Even if I do not become a retainer of the Uesugi family, it would be impossible for me to serve elsewhere. Your ninja must have already relayed the news of my defeat and surrender to Kurokawa Castle,” Anazawa Toshimitsu understood well the reality of victors and the vanquished.

If the entire timeline were to be destroyed, how could the world not be annihilated? Gaia’s goal was to control the world. If the world were destroyed, there would be nothing left for it to rule.

This was the first time since arriving at Cuihua’s sauerkraut shop on the third day that Miao Ni was willing to communicate obediently with Miao Cuihua.
