Chapter 43: Elder Sister

Lin Yu followed quietly behind the woman. Eventually, the pale green Hanfu beauty who had received him earlier stood before him. She bowed slightly and said, “Sister, per your instructions, I’ve prepared tea in the private room. All appointments for today have been canceled, and everyone in the shop has been notified to leave early.” The woman nodded...

From what she knew, none of the wealthy, renowned entrepreneurs in the capital city bore the surname Lin. She had only just received the news when Eunuch Han, her father’s attendant, arrived—such timing felt too coincidental.

Though Tian Ji had his flaws, his willingness to heed others’ advice was a considerable virtue.

The Church, as usual, dispatched Cardinal Meyer, and several archbishops already in the North would fully cooperate with this action.

She didn’t call Ling’er, having heard from her mother that the money was repaid, and even the name of the Prosperity Group was mentioned.

He carefully glanced around; seeing no movement nearby, he finally activated his formation.

Zu Kuan also turned with the cavalry, but halfway through, he realized there was no point in retreating any further.

The sound of cannons erupted. Two hundred cavalry from Yang Yao’s five sentry squads charged down the mountain toward the Guanning Army.

Chen Qiyu, at the start of the siege, sought out the Prince of Qin in Xi’an Prefecture, urging him to donate funds and provisions.

Lin Yunzhu was stunned at this revelation; she had thought that Elder Qin’s position as Deputy Metropolitan Censor was already formidable support.

Mother Jiang rolled her eyes; feigning illness just when Qingru was performing, how foolish did they think others were?

In a daze, the grand destiny informed Chen Shouzhuo that this was no mere arena—it was a place where miracles were born.

Perhaps due to the upcoming year-end review, entering Qing County this time required no previous city wall donation; they let them pass without collecting a dime.

Tian Zhong’s reasoning was to present Wen Zhong with a choice: to become a god or continue pursuing immortality.

He had intended to send another team to escort Li Jiayan home, but after hearing him out, Li Jiayan declined without hesitation.

Song Yanyu had already received a report from his household confidants, understood the situation, but still wanted to hear Li Jiayan's account.

“Once we secure the Guo family, our acquired shares will exceed two-thirds. According to Hong Kong company regulations, we can dilute other shareholders’ equity through a capital increase. This is a favorable option for us, but should not be used unless absolutely necessary.”

“Hmph,” Su Shengli crossed his arms. Although Fu Qi had just brought him honor, it did not change his current dislike of Fu Qi.

The Capital Television Station was subordinate to the provincial station. Reading the transfer order, Director Huang felt as if he had been slapped hard in the face.

The Blue Army’s defender didn’t need to turn to know who had launched such a shot that even Cech couldn’t react in time.

He added, “Third Brother, take care!” and ran resolutely toward his destination.

Over the years, he had endured countless instances of the same treatment due to his skin color and weight.

Li Ning, citing the emperor’s decree, handed most of his main force to his deputy, keeping only seven commanders with him for continued battle. With 3,500 men, it was a drop in the ocean for the vast North African continent. Even if Rommel himself returned, he could not guarantee absolute victory over North Africa.

This was one of the rare nights Jing Jun, after favoring Lady Liang, slept in the Palace of Infinity, with the emperor resting.

At the highest point of the floating island, there was an energy plaque inscribed in sacred script with the angelic number 23.

It turned out to be his adoptive parents and elder brother. Lin watched them intently, as if in a dream, feeling a sense of estrangement from another world.
