Chapter 68: Young Master, what are you looking at here?

After carefully studying all the documents, Gu Xiaomai managed to piece together a preliminary understanding of the situation.

Although it remained unclear what role the Gu family played in the original owner being framed for stealing the special energy stone, she could be certain that the Gu family was not as doting and affectionate toward the original owner as the records suggested. There were definitely hidden factors at play here.

As for what those factors were, further investigation was required, but Gu Xiaomai had already firmly removed the Gu family from the circle of people she could trust.

Gu Xiaomai could not help but feel a silent sense of fortune within her heart.

Yet, everyone remained quiet, simply listening in silence, silently offering their blessings.

Who would have thought that the moment she turned her head, she would see several colleagues standing at the doorway and windows of the first floor, all wearing looks of absolute disappointment directed at her.

At this critical, hair-trigger moment, Zhang Pingtian seemed to have made up his mind, his gaze turning fiercely resolute. The next instant, he drew a deep breath, and a muffled groan escaped his lips.

Learning that the hotel did not provide lunch at noon, she asked another question. Upon discovering from the front desk that guests could have the hotel staff purchase lunch on their behalf, Chen Moyan handed over thirty yuan without a second thought, and then sat quietly in her room waiting.

Qin Mu thought to herself that she would never dare pull such a stunt with anyone else, but she had never liked nagging or beating around the bush with her elders.

Watching Xixia carry out dishes time and time again, Chen Fangping suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, because today's events were, in essence, orchestrated by his own deliberate design.

Zeng Zhiwei and Tang Cheng'an exchanged a helpless glance, both regretting their decision to come play this round of golf today.

After joining Tsunade midway through, Ye Han immediately urged the Oromo people to return. As the three of them retreated, the enemy closed in around him. Before long, a semi-circular encirclement had formed.

The pirate ship beneath Shiki the Golden Lion's feet began to tremble, his hair fluttering wildly. He had never witnessed anyone dare speak to him in such a manner. A terrifying aura erupted from both Shiki and Ye Han, making even the air shiver in dread.

Hearing this, Zhang Bo was suddenly enlightened. He finally understood why the figure clad in golden light had endured a millennium of sealing just to meet him. At that moment, Zhang Bo already knew the true identity of the golden figure, and such cultivation was indeed beyond the limits of mortal capability.

The Ferris wheel slowly rose, and Gong Shaoxie's gaze drifted out the window. Even though they had not yet reached the highest point, many towering skyscrapers of the city were already visible from here, with the Gong Group's headquarters standing out as particularly striking.

Fatty Han Jiang did not look well, his expression somewhat panicked, as if he had been terribly frightened the previous night.

"Isn't this just the corresponding effect of the treatment?" Magpie had been quite proud of itself initially, but the moment it caught Bai Li's gaze, a twinge of guilt crept into its heart.

Pei Duochen happened to see Cui Ziyu placing the freshly grilled fish on the table and asked a casual question, only to be ruthlessly rejected.

Instead, Bai Li smiled at Tian Nan, leaving the latter with no choice but to offer an awkward, sheepish grin, plagued by an ominous premonition.

I gestured to A Jin to remain silent and slowly squatted down. By this time, Gang Zi had already pressed himself flat against the stone slab bridge, his right hand tightly gripping a machete as he prepared to sneak beneath the bridge and give that creature a slash.

In the past, even when Zhong Dawei shamelessly lingered indefinitely inside the Fuling Jinchi Shuixin Fortress, and even though the fortress was then headed by the profit-driven Baili Yuan, no one had ever despised him, nor had anyone ever questioned when he intended to leave, let alone indirectly issued an eviction notice against him.

If Chen Xinyao's current level of fame could be raised just a bit higher, their bargaining power when negotiating with others would become even more solid.

Feng Wu turned her head, stared closely at the head of the Ye family for a moment, nodded without a word, and waited for Ye Xiang's explanation.

"I don't care whether they listen to you or not; if even a single bow and arrow is missing, I will not let you off!" No matter what, Jiang Wei was someone who had lived two lifetimes—how could he be so easily fooled by a mere monkey?
