Volume One, Chapter 152: Explosive Dirt Exposed—the Hotel Door Incident!!

By now, if he still didn’t realize that Zhang Ning had betrayed him and been bribed by Yang Wei to frame him, then he was a fool!

Only she could have such intimate access to him.

Then, taking advantage of his drunkenness, she had relations with him.

The photos taken—so long as his face wasn’t shown—could be manipulated by Yang Wei using online trolls to fabricate any identity, utterly destroying his reputation!

“Bastard!”

“You betrayed me!” Wang Junjie raged, ready to charge forward, but was firmly restrained by Yang Wei’s two bodyguards.

“Don’t be so quick to lose your temper,” Yang Wei said calmly. “The offer still stands: just sign with Jiuzhou Group and leave Sky Entertainment!”

“These things, I will—”

In the dark, silent night, he suddenly realized that his voice was so magnetic, so gentle, as if drawn by gravity itself, compelling one to draw closer to it.

In the entire Yunze region, it wasn’t only Guan Yunshan who was wealthy. Since everyone here qualified to come today, they were all people of considerable means. Why did Guan Yunshan need to be so ostentatious?

He was asking Ye Kai, but Ding Linglin shook her head: “He was also ambushed and is now completely powerless. How could he—” She immediately realized she had misspoken.

“It’s just a pity we don’t know who sent gifts at that wedding hall or who the deceased were,” Ding Linglin said. “We’ve recorded everyone who sent gifts in the ledger.” Ge Bing’s eyes also brightened.

As her words fell, several waves of powerful energy surged skyward from all directions. The four Red Bone Taoists were not alarmed but rather pleased. They feared not that he would strike but that he would keep hiding. Once his trail appeared, was there any fear they wouldn’t find him?

To wield such influence, in all of China, probably no one except Lin Yuan could match him.

He didn’t fully understand the reasoning. In his world, revenge was always considered more just and manly than forgiveness.

But under these circumstances, even if the principal reprimanded the director, such situations were hard to avoid entirely.

Miyabi’s trump card was like an onion: you peeled one layer, thinking you saw the real him, but there was another beneath, and another beneath that. Layer by layer, you peeled, only to find it hollow inside—his trump cards were endless.

But, ultimately, it was just a change in appearance. The blatant formality faded into a more restrained master-servant relationship. The presence of servants remained, and the power of life and death over them was completely controlled by the master’s family.

At that moment, Tang Ling added, “I’ve heard, Brother Chen Yang, that you still have a strand of black hair, passed down from the Phoenix Empress.”

He left the old mansion, aimlessly driving through the streets, eventually arriving at Bai Muqing’s doorstep.

Yet thinking of the question Xin Xin had asked in the car last night, he tightened his lips, deciding not to go.

Those seated in business class were all people who wouldn’t be bothered by ten thousand yuan; most here had net worths exceeding millions.

“Princess Yinfeng, your health is fragile. The imperial physician forbids you from eating greasy food. You must have only some light medicinal broth now!” Shaoyao placed a bowl in front of her.

“Husband, we should rest now,” Mei’er whispered seductively to Jiang Yu.

If it were ordinary players, such behavior might not even incur faction penalties. But the top-ranked player, with immense influence and role-model effect, could easily gain favor in the benevolent faction—and just as easily fall from grace.

The waiter was clearly a local. After speaking, he was full of indignation toward the town government’s actions.

He was an actor, of course, and had appeared in martial arts films, but the internal energy and lightness skills on screen were all special effects or wire work.

Qin Ke’er naturally would not refuse. Following her lead, she sat by Bailiya’s bedside. So close, seeing Bailiya’s pale, bloodless face and her stiff form on the bed, she quietly exhaled in relief.

Melville didn’t mind Sweet’s cold tone, simply smiling slightly and preparing to speak more, but was stopped by Pope Agnes.

In agony, both he and Xia Shiyu grimaced, simultaneously groaning in pain.

Just as Jon thought he had fallen asleep, Earl Heaton suddenly shook violently as if mad, only calming after several seconds.

This was Ye Chen’s room. Knowing this, it would have been better not to leave her room. Sleeping here, his mother would surely think she had come on her own accord.

After rising from the corpse, Lei Li walked to the window and wiped the charred spot with her gloved right hand.

After thinking, Jiang Xiuhe pointed toward the room and then to the phone, signaling Yan Xiuzhe to retrieve the extension inside.

A moment later, a man in sunglasses approached, appearing about thirty years old, of average build.

Though she would surely have such personnel nearby, these matters were ones she must know and control.

“Meow,” Miaomiao jumped from the bed onto the sofa, then called out to Yang Sisi.

He was as joyful as a child, lifting her high and spinning several times around the room.

During the PK, the hand-Q side had knelt twice in a row—once immediately in the first round, and again in the second.

Now, with Zhang Sanfeng’s centennial birthday approaching, Xie Wuji was determined to return no matter what. Even if it caused many troubles, he wouldn’t care.

This massive piece of rough jade cloth cost him over a hundred million RMB. If he didn’t open it to see the jadeite inside, he wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly.

Arlia’s gaze dimmed slightly, seemingly understanding Ai Fashi’s intentions. With a blaze-like step, she surged forward to pursue Ai Fashi.

After several fierce battles, the veterans embraced, cheering and shedding tears of excitement. They helped each other and ran to spread news of victory everywhere.

In the captain’s eyes, Zhang Long had always been a personal idol, a formidable and exceptional figure. Few could rival him in this world.

It must be known that his acceptance of Dongliu’s request for the four nations to jointly oppose the Linglong kingdom was largely out of concern for Princess Lianxing.

However, Chen Li didn’t quite understand the domestic jade market. Had she known that a single word from Zhao Zhihong could endanger the company, she surely wouldn’t have dared offend him lightly.

His roar echoed through every corner of the Sky Arena, also transmitted via the magic array into the independent space.

At that moment, the three immediately sobered. Filled with dread, they realized they had offended a fourth-level Gu Master.
