Chapter 137 A Terrifying Scene Unfolded

Good heavens!

Fang Zhiyin was trembling all over. How she wished she were dreaming! Otherwise... why had such a cruel and terrifying truth fallen into her ears?

Zhuge You found her utterly baffling. "You asked me to come up here just to tell me this? Do you have any idea how much time you're wasting?! Besides, you and that younger brother of yours... Ha! You aren't even blood-related! Has nothing ever happened between the two of you all these years?"

"There is nothing between him and me," Qiao Na said through gritted teeth.

"But you love him too," Zhuge You stated with absolute certainty.

Qiao Na fell silent.

Hearing this, Fang Zhiyin more or less understood. Qiao Na had always known about Cui Wen's affection for her, yet she had consistently feigned hatred—

Even so, it had been a hair's-breadth escape just now. Had Lin Chen been even a fraction of a second slower, there probably would have been nothing left of them by now.

The madam's words undoubtedly set the entire hall ablaze. The Grandiflora Pavilion's biggest attraction was none other than Miss Qinyin, yet for so long, she had only sold her artistry, never her body. Now that there was a chance to win Qinyin over, how could everyone not be excited?

Fortunately, this silence did not last long. A few flashes of light cut through the wooded mountain corner to the left of the car. The two subordinates of Patton inside the vehicle immediately went on high alert, and the one in the driver's seat pulled out a flashlight, switching it on and off twice toward the woods.

That running sound was heard by Tsubaki Toyota. Although the mist obscured his view of the distance, he could still sense that someone was there.

Dong Wanrou had just taken a shower and was wearing only a thin silk slip. Her baby-soft skin radiated a crisp, refreshing fragrance.

Not only could they use them as a bargaining chip to leave easily, but they could also thoroughly enjoy themselves—of course there was no problem.

Immediately afterward, he moved Sun Tianming's body to an open space. Placing his hand on Sun Tianming's back, a shimmer flickered between his fingers as a wisp of gentle spiritual energy emerged from his palm, seeping into Sun Tianming's body.

The others had no particular objections to his arrangement. After all, the restaurant booth had been reserved by Feng Shaoxiang, and it was his freedom to invite whomever he pleased to the private room.

"Shihang, just what kind of person is this Qin Fan? That Chen Chong who was hitting people earlier seemed terrified of him," Liu Qian couldn't help asking out of curiosity on the way back to the hotel.

He glanced sideways and saw Xiao Tao once again closing her eyes with almost feline agility, propping her head up. Failing to steady it and looking as though she was about to keel over in the other direction, Xiao Manjing hurriedly reached out to support her bobbing head, hesitated for a moment, and rested it against his own shoulder.

In truth, d'Artagnan was also of impoverished noble birth, except that his family had declined to the point where they were completely indistinguishable from dirt-poor peasant farmers.

Presumably, she had come out to watch the excitement when Leng Mo and Chou Meina had made a high-profile, forceful spectacle of "inviting" her out of the studio earlier.

Retreating to her Weibo homepage, Ji Yu'an saw that a massive wave of fans was unfollowing and turning on her.

"Thud, thud-thud," came the rhythmic knocking on the door outside right on time. Glancing through the peephole, it was still pitch black—nothing could be seen.

Meanwhile, a disheveled Jiang Yainaihe had no inclination to play pranks on Xiao Yu. Looking as she did, she couldn't shoot videos, yet she would open her TikTok account multiple times every day.

Of course, she knew her choice of words wasn't entirely appropriate, but that was simply the first term that popped into her mind.

However, deeply trapped in sorrow and envy, Superintendent Suzuki had lost his usual ability to read the room.

How she wished this phone could be charged! If she could turn it on, even if her future 5G card wouldn't work here, she might at least be able to look at the photos and videos in her album.

Following that, from the rear of each aircraft, a series of red flare decoys were ejected. These flares burst in mid-air, forming gorgeous fireworks, and the continuously spewing flares forged an infrared barrage behind the four fighter jets.

Lana summoned adventurers from the Darkness Sword adventure team and asked them to help gather some monster blood, a request the adventure team readily accepted.

To Lin Yunxi's surprise, after adding each other on WeChat, Xu Tian remained seated right there waiting for her, showing no intention of leaving whatsoever. This touched Lin Yunxi profoundly.
