Chapter 46: Mr. Gu’s Doubts Remain Unresolved

As Gu Fangyu walked downstairs, she caught sight of Gu Hanchen sitting at the dining table.

Her face turned slightly pale as she wondered why Aunt Lan hadn’t mentioned that he was still home.

She instinctively glanced at the time. By this hour, he usually would have already left for the company.

Just as Gu Fangyu was pondering this, footsteps echoed from the top of the stairs, immediately followed by the figure of her father.

She instantly felt a headache coming on, utterly overwhelmed.

Xiao Ziyu had already guessed part of the situation. Looking at the photographs, where everyone was dressed for scorching hot weather, she figured that the rumors which had been previously suppressed were leaked again. Material that Tianyu had forced the media to bury would never resurface through their own breach of promise unless Tianyu itself had given the green light.

With one hand holding the microphone and the other clenched tightly into a fist, Xiao Ziyu dug her trimmed nails directly into her palm. Yet, she felt that this sharp pain was actually a good thing—at the very least, it served to remind her to stay rational and mask the overwhelming urge to cry.

To breach a sealed city typically required a force five times the number of its defenders. Ancheng had merely two thousand or so soldiers; not only did the enemy vastly exceed that multiplier, but the approaching force was also the renowned Black-Armor Iron Cavalry.

Li Hualin was suddenly overwhelmed by a complex mixture of emotions. Having previously been forced to work under Yin Tingyao, he had lived in constant terror of exposing his intentions to rescue his family members. He had not even dared to set up a proper, sizable residence for the Li family, yet now he still had to rely on someone else to help arrange things for them.

He remembered how, in television dramas, opening such a trunk would reveal a gun, a self-destructing mobile phone, and a stash of cash.

Ever since she first stepped into the Shen household and witnessed the family's attitude toward her, Xiao Ziyu had known that reaching the point of divorce was only a matter of time. To her surprise, she had managed to endure for nine years—something she never could have anticipated. Therefore, she ought to be content.

Ji Baifeng hurriedly spat out the mouthful of vegetables he hadn't yet had time to swallow.

In Lin Duo'er's eyes, as long as the puppet duo Heng and Ha were present, anyone dubbed the Monster of Chi Lao was no match for them at all.

Jia Rong did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He rushed over at the first possible moment to report the situation, intending to discuss how to deal with this sudden trouble.

Li Chenglong and Diana first headed to a fairly large town outside New York City, having Venus hack into the Department of Motor Vehicles system to add their identity and driver's license information into the database.

Quite a few netizens were torn: when two o'clock rolled around, should they tune into the livestream of Cosmic Technology Company's product launch event, or watch the broadcast of Samsung launching its new flagship phone, the S8?

Yang Rushui's spherical dark cloud shielded the entire army of geomancers. It was far more than just a simple shield against lightning; from within the inky sphere, black, ghostly claws reached out, clawing through the air like malignant spirits to drag down several death worms hiding in the corners.

A-Fang and Fatty remained unconscious for three full days before waking up, and it took half a month before they could get out of bed—and that was solely due to the potent healing properties of the Blood Spirit Pill.

The large spacecraft was relatively small in volume, so it might not necessarily have caught the attention of many people, but given the massive commotion it created upon landing, it was practically impossible for anyone to miss.

Looking at the dark purple mist shrouding the surface of the planet ahead, Lin Miao's expression tightened as he spoke in a solemn tone.

"Morning." Liu Mu still maintained that smile, warm as winter sunlight, looking slightly dazed before snapping back to reality a moment later.

Hearing Teacher Zhu say those words at the time, she almost wished she had failed the selection and had that memory wiped away; that way, she would still be the carefree, bright-spirited Ma An'an in school.

"Who are you people!" The gatekeeper seemed unfamiliar with Li Chenglong and greeted them with an unfriendly attitude.

Seeing the monster Gobu ahead roaring and wantonly destroying everything in its path, several silver fighter jets hovering in the midair immediately glided past, instantly unleashing orange laser beams that slammed into Gobu's massive body, bursting into scorching sparks.

However, having advanced in his realm and with the amplification of the Gu-Gazing Technique, Li Fan's sensory perception now far exceeded that of ordinary Divine Transformation realms, and his knowledge and experience were already extraordinary.
