Chapter 98: Su Manman Becomes the New Head of the Family

Su Manman handed the stone back to Zhao Changqing. Zhao Changqing took the stone and began to extract it using tools. After his careful cutting and polishing, the ruby inside became increasingly clear. Excitement grew on Zhao Changqing’s face, for he had never worked on a ruby of such exceptional quality before. Half an hour later, a pebble of remarkable clarity emerged...

This situation left the county officials in an awkward position: a once vibrant auction now ended in gloomy silence.

“What’s going on? Didn’t I tell you to handle this properly?” Sheng Yongnian demanded, questioning Shu Manli.

She had promised Song Liangsheng to accompany him to a charity banquet aboard the Crystal Voyager and then reveal that they were not married.

Meanwhile, Wu Yue, drenched in blood, continued to roar fiercely, wielding a massive axe with thunderous might, locked in a deadly battle against the demonic cult’s elite.

In the Silver Moon Kingdom’s royal palace, the Empress’s chamber was draped with white banners. The coffin had rested within the hall for three days, and today was the day of the funeral.

Emperor Baizhong paused briefly. Following her pointed finger, he saw a brocade-clad gentleman walking slowly down the street—his face identical to the dancer who had appeared in the palace earlier.

Only when one can truly come to terms with the wounds on their back can they heal from the inside out.

He took the initiative to seek out Grandpa Qin, praising Ye Weilan at length in hopes of earning his forgiveness.

Although Ye Weilan temporarily retained her status as Madam Qin, she had exhausted the last shred of sympathy from the Qin family.

A murmur of disbelief rose from behind; no one believed such words. Just moments ago, she had screamed herself hoarse in protest, and now she claimed to have understood?

Lin Chong approached and said, “How dare you be so insolent.” Raising his fist to strike, he hesitated and lowered it upon recognizing the man’s extraordinary aura. This was Gao Shuang, the highest leader of the City Patrol, whose father was none other than Lin Chong’s direct superior, Gao Qiu.

Li Xu let out a fierce roar. Wei Xin, standing on the city tower, was stunned for several seconds before finally ordering the gates to be opened.

Every flower and blade of grass, every person and beast, stands equal before the universe. Each existence, whether alive or dead, faces choices. Every particle has different paths it may take, creating countless parallel worlds.

Tonight, the Nanhua Group was ablaze with lights through the night. All board members were present, and Mino held a lengthy meeting with them, specifically discussing the sudden inspections by various law enforcement agencies. The conclusion: someone was scheming behind the scenes.

“Why, don’t you want me to leave?” Lan Shi’s smile was cold and mocking as he looked at Miao Cuihua, the woman who had seduced Bai Lian.

Therefore, Miao Cuihua asked Steward Zhu to thoroughly investigate Zhang Hu, who claimed to be from the countryside and once sold wontons but had closed his stall due to poor business.

“It seems they’ve targeted us, aiming to sweep us all up in one net. Since death is inevitable, we might as well fight to break even; if we can kill two, that’s a profit. As for Leng Feng, we’ve done all we can; now it’s up to fate,” Lu Xingyun said, his eyes bloodshot with determination.

Ni Shiqian sprinted forward, only to find more men with guns blocking his path. With no other option, he unleashed his martial arts, injuring his pursuers before fleeing in panic.

The crowd exchanged looks, gasping in shock. Could it be that Guan Muhua had finally relented due to his son’s wishes? Did this mean Lin Bixiao’s marriage into the Bi family was now a certainty?

This Meteor Flame weapon, being a mechanical device possibly designed for large-scale use, attracted many skilled engineers nearby. The engineer who had just spoken was clearly a person of considerable status.

“Yes,” Hong Yu nodded slightly, then led a group to carry out the red lacquered wooden chest with black iron nails from the hall.
