Chapter 60: The Abusive Second Male Lead

The two of them gripped their weapons tightly, walking up to the second floor one after the other with light steps. Dilapidated and aged wooden doors stood facing each other down the corridor, yet the floor itself looked as though it had just been swept, remaining impeccably clean.

"Even if we replaced all of them with our own people... Fine, I'll defer to your arrangement!" Eggsy shrugged, his iron earring jingling constantly.

Yao Xi seemed to find the decision she had just made utterly agonizing to accept. With a heavy nod, she turned her head away, refusing to look at Mr. Fengtai ever again. It was clear she had steeled her heart completely with no intention of turning back.

She knew that Gu Jingchen still harbored lingering feelings for Jian Ning, occasionally letting slip a sense of nostalgia for the past, but how had he now developed affections for Mo Ran as well? Had feelings somehow blossomed through repeated physical intimacy?

A hospital? A hospital ward? Fu Tianze? Could this possibly mean... that he already knew about her pregnancy?

However, if there were teams out there that had no idea what the Dragon Wood Pearl was, nor what the Molding Mud was, they probably wouldn't be able to take anything away even if they managed to reach that place.

The next morning, when I went downstairs, I was startled to find ULOVE still slumped over his computer desk. Evidently, the guy hadn't returned to his room all night, having fallen asleep right at the desk when exhaustion finally overtook him, leaving me somewhat exasperated.

Just then, a maid walked in carrying a meal: a bowl of thin congee, two eggs, and a pancake. Lin Yu was thoroughly satisfied; back at the Lin Family Village, he never even knew if he could manage to eat a single egg in an entire year.

Before long, Bailing and the others were also released. As soon as they regrouped, they began discussing their next course of action.

If he hadn't come out with me, I would never have come to understand his perspective. If these matters weren't cleared up for him sooner rather than later, it would prove highly detrimental to the team's performance.

Sangluo looked at He Mingchuan in bewilderment. Did this mean he had no intention of telling them that the two of them had already broken up?

Satoko paid no mind to the shattered mirror. Wearing a satisfied smile, she slowly drifted upward, passing right through the floorboards and returning to the upper level.

Everyone involved in the plot to murder He Hui that night, including Gu Feng, perished without exception. They all met a miserable end inside the Gu family ancestral hall.

Qin Luoxi met his gaze with a guilty conscience; just yesterday she had rejected this man's WeChat friend request, and today she had ended up coming to work as a laborer under his command.

As for Mu Qingya, she couldn't help but wonder if Ye Beichen simply didn't want to get too close to her. Could it be that he had grown to dislike her?

As long as the couple could manage to gain a foothold in Shanghai, they could eventually send for their son, Jian Yangyang, allowing the whole family to live a good life as city dwellers.

Whether happiness had arrived too overwhelmingly or joy had turned to sorrow, round, plump tears began to fall uncontrollably from Han Jiangcheng's eyes.

Just as Qin Luoxi was contemplating casually phoning in her performance for this mission, she raised her head and caught sight of a tall, upright figure on the street—it felt like a jolt of electricity, her heart racing frantically for half a minute before finally calming down.

The main reason lay in Lin Jin's depression, which, combined with the tragic fate of their mother, left her perpetually insecure about her standing in Gu Fei's heart.

His technique at blow-drying hair certainly couldn't be described as skillful, but his movements were gentle enough—so gentle that it made her feel as though her hair was being cradled carefully in the palms of his hands.

Then, through his X-ray vision, K-1 perceived this scene and immediately ignited the thrusters on both hands, rapidly flying up onto the balcony.

Tears fell in endless streams, her heart grown fragile to the extreme. With no one to comfort her and no one to keep her company, she figured she would die such a lonely death.

This was definitely not a level of chakra that a human being could withstand; no matter what technique followed, there was no escaping a fatal conclusion.

When push came to shove, Kannatou had to admit that the situation was practically unsolvable. Unless he had been born a few decades earlier, allowing him to master a full arsenal of super S-rank ninjutsu and the power of all nine tailed beasts to go toe-to-toe with Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu, even Kaguya Otsutsuki herself reborn would be worth a fight.

He struggled fiercely to push himself back up, knowing that once he collapsed flat onto the ground, he would never be given another chance to rise.

One had to bear in mind that that abortive coup, suppressed before it could even erupt, had taken place during a post-war era of peace. What era was this now? Wartime! How dared the Third Mizukage make a direct move against Kannatou? On what grounds?

That appointed time was drawing near. Whether Wang Yu could turn his fortunes around was directly tied to their own futures; didn't they choose to follow Wang Yu precisely because there were profits to be reaped by his side?

Yet this sword harbored immense murderous intent. The moment Gu Xiao finished speaking, the blade formed of pure vital energy shot forth like an arrow released from a bow, hurtling toward the monk Lingkong with lightning speed.

Just as the three of them were at their wits' end regarding the cannon before them, a massive amount of concentrated energy began to gather within the muzzle.

Throughout the entire night, Li Weiting did not disturb her, nor did he come to knock on her door in the morning. This allowed Lin Sese to enjoy a sound sleep. After washing up and changing her clothes, she went downstairs to have breakfast.

Realizing she had misunderstood, Huang Yuxin blushed slightly. He Yue and the others glanced at Huang Yuxin without a word. They strolled about the mountain paths, where the spring water was completely natural and free for anyone to taste.

Hearing the exchange, even a fool would have known by now that Ning Zebiao was a police officer. Several of the participants scattered in a panic, none of them wishing to be slapped with the charge of assaulting an officer.

Qingzhu blinked her eyes in bewilderment, truly unable to comprehend what Jingchuan was talking about. Before she could ask further, Jingchuan waved a hand at her and said, "Alright! Go get some sleep! See you tomorrow!" and ran off.

He Yue and Yao Keke, the two sisters, stepped out of the hotel. Wu Ting paid the bill and chased after them, convinced that Yao Keke must have been swindled by He Yue; otherwise, how could she possibly have taken a fancy to someone less wealthy than himself?
