Volume One, Chapter 102: Xia Zhiyuan Completely Loses the Hearts of the People

"I'm not asking for your opinion; you don't have a choice," Lin Ranran said with absolute certainty. "Even if you sue him, my husband won't necessarily go to jail. After all, he's currently helping the public security bureau solve a lot of cases. Breaking a few ribs of a hooligan is entirely understandable."

"Comrade Lin, are you threatening me?" Zhang Wei's face turned pale with rage.

"Doctor Zhang, out of respect for your past contributions to the hospital, I'll let you off this time." Lin Ranran produced a liability waiver she had prepared beforehand and placed it in front of him. "But if you insist on suing my man, then we'll just have to wait and see."

This was an outright threat! Zhang Wei trembled with rage, but looking into Lin Ranran's eyes, which were completely devoid of...

Although a solution had been found for this problem, the system's quest prompt still hadn't popped up. This meant that opportunistic methods didn't count; Kong Yan's problem had to be solved from its root.

Unwittingly, Jiu'er had walked to the entrance of the Temple of Zeus, located southwest of the sports field. As one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, Jiu'er was determined to go inside and take a look, no matter what.

Aside from his black robes becoming wrinkled and crumpled, Madara Uchiha showed no other changes.

"You—" Even though he had known about this plot point beforehand, Beitang Junhao still couldn't resist the urge to smash the wine cup in his hand into Linhao's face. With his domineering personality, anyone who entered his harem belonged to him even in death; how could he hand them over to someone else?

To be honest, with this level of combat power combined with the special system abilities, it might actually be possible to breach the Divine Realm.

This was an endless hall, white and flawless everywhere, everything so pure and holy.

"What about the Earth and Lightning Ninja Villages then?" Hashirama Senju felt that Tobirama made sense, so he continued to ask.

Just then, Mother Rabbit suddenly bent her knees slightly. The seemingly gentle movement instantly caused the earth to crack and shatter with a series of sharp snaps.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Danzo beside him, grunted, and formed the Seal of Confrontation with the newly arrived Yi Asama.

The other party refused to say any more, merely emphasizing a point in a somewhat cynical, playboy tone.

Leaning against the stone wall at the deepest part of the snake cave, Yi Liuling was lost in thought when his hand suddenly brushed against something slippery. He looked down and saw a damp, smooth stone, its color completely different from the surrounding walls.

He had to assemble a mature team in a short period of time—a team that could protect the Earth and help humanity resist most threats.

Jiang Yunian stood with one hand in his trouser pocket, exuding a cold, aloof aura that kept everyone at a distance.

Cristiano Ronaldo watched as the chestnut-red-haired girl took Claire from his hands and considerately helped her toward the nearby restroom. But just as he sat down, he suddenly realized something: did that chestnut-red-haired waitress actually recognize him?

Gu Chen pressed his fingertips together, not taking the recent disturbance to heart. Instead, he leaned back against the chair, seeking a more comfortable posture.

As the match drew near, Old Trafford, the second-largest football stadium in England, grew increasingly clamorous. While the spectators prepared to have their tickets checked for entry, the players from both teams, who had been warming up on the pitch, began heading back to their respective dressing rooms.

Hearing Claire's words, Steve Chen nodded in agreement and departed from this startup street, which was highly famous in Silicon Valley back in 2009.

Although his attack had been unleashed and had even produced results, those effects completely vanished in the very next second.

Gu Zian was in no hurry. After all, exchanging these two items would take time. As long as he could establish this connection, it would be equivalent to securing a powerful backup route for the Qingyan Gang.

No matter how foolish one was, it was obvious that the previously mentioned "imperial envoys" had arrived. Judging by Magistrate Qian's tone, the chief celebrant was Ma, a vice minister in the imperial court and Liang Shanbo's former classmate. For such a young vice minister to arrive bearing imperial orders, just how grand of a noble must he be?

Every organ in my body trembled. Looking ahead, countless bowl-thick tentacles of "Ghost Vines" grew in dense clusters, completely obscuring the entire space before my eyes.

The flower swayed without any wind, its petals beginning to fall one by one in slow motion, as dreamlike as could be.

Uh, if Boss Xia knew what I was thinking right now and realized I was dumping such a huge burden on him, he would probably do what he used to do—use me for training until I practically shed a layer of skin.

"Love." Shen Shu's gaze was distant, as if she were looking at him, yet also as if she were looking through him at someone else.

Zhao Mingyue withdrew her gaze, along with her smile. Unexpectedly, the side of her face closest to a certain pair of seductive peach-blossom eyes tensed, giving her a sudden fright. Glancing over, she saw her Marquis's handsome face looking half-gloomy and half-sinister, resembling a dark sky that had been brewing for days, ready to unleash a torrential downpour to crush anyone beneath it.

Shang Jiaoqi had been arguing with a soldier, refusing to let him put a cangue on Zhao Mingyue. Upon hearing this, her willow-leaf brows knit in anger. Before anyone could react, she delivered a rapid succession of kicks to the man, beating him until he was crying tears and snot.

Yet, it was precisely these two simple movements that Si Jiang and Gou'er practiced dozens of times without ever passing.

After all, she hadn't been to the capital yet, so her connections there could not compare to the Gu family's—unless, of course, Fu Hengzhi was taken into account.

The corner they chose for their conversation was very quiet, and with the echo in the hallway, I could hear them very clearly.

She had tried being polite before resorting to force, but since he showed no regard for feelings, it would be entirely understandable even if she took the person away by force.

Faced with the rather pungent smell of cow dung, their dark faces showed no discomfort at all. Instead, they smiled, their teeth gleaming bright white.

After finishing their meal, these officers went to Houjiayu Village to arrest people. They only arrested Wang the Second and did not touch anyone else, merely placing the members of the Wang family in several courtyards under watch.

"You may just call me Jiaoxing." Seeing his embarrassment, and feeling that making such a fuss inside the carriage was truly disgraceful, Chen Pian resolved his dilemma.

Thus, I couldn't capture any clear information; I just felt that Yu Zecheng's narration was incredibly immersive.

Jiang Nan? Why was Jiang Nan calling me? Just then, I suddenly remembered the dream I had this afternoon about accompanying Jiang Nan to buy bedding.

"You still have the nerve to mention Chen Fei? If he dares to come, I'll skin him alive." With that, a blade that had unsheathed itself at some unknown point made two cuts on a rabbit that had appeared out of nowhere. After a sprinkle of salt, it was skewered on a branch and roasted.
