Chapter 50: Gu Yao Returns to China

All the way, Gu Fangyu racked her brain trying to figure out how to make her escape.
Yet, she simply could not come up with a good plan.
Suddenly, Gu Hanchuan’s phone rang.
Nursing a sliver of hope, she glanced at it—it was a call from Gu’s mother.
The man hesitated for a moment before answering, "What is it?"
Gu Fangyu edged closer, pricking up her ears to eavesdrop.
...
Yet looking at it now, she had overestimated her position in his heart. With a soft sigh, Du Maning put down her chopsticks and said, "Never mind, it wouldn't look good if Mom saw. I just... missed Chenchen and Ke'er." She also missed Nangong Han a little, though she kept those words buried deep in her heart.
If she could befriend this "Guo Xiaoyou," or even invite her back to Prajna Temple to serve as a guest elder, it would undoubtedly be a monumental contribution to the temple.
She also envied her younger sister Yue'er, who could speak so effortlessly with the Second Brother. But whenever she saw her Second Brother's devilishly handsome face, her tongue would tie itself into knots, rendering her speechless. And after missing the opportunity, she would secretly reproach herself in her heart.
The moment a conflict arose between the vigorous qi forces, the "Great Sun Tathagata Wish-Fulfilling Scripture" learned by Shen Feng instinctively surged forth to mediate. After a few rounds of harmonization, the two streams of vigorous qi finally blended together naturally.
Feeling the tension on his fishing rod, Xiao Luo knew instantly that a fish had taken the bait. Without waiting further, he pulled with both hands, lifting the fish out of the water as it described an arc and landed straight into his grasp.
"Let's go take a look," Du Yuesheng said, perking up. He was not afraid of trouble; what he feared most was having nothing to do.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Dazi gripped the hilt of the dagger with one hand and yanked it out with a fierce thrust. Qingda quickly pressed a white cloth over the wound. Blood rapidly soaked through the fabric, but at least it didn't spray all over everyone's faces.
After all, the person before them could never be judged by conventional standards; in every aspect, he had long since transcended the boundaries of Xiao Luo's imagination.
Pressing a gentle kiss to her cheek, Shi Zichen scooped up Su Momo, placed her gently on her bed, and then returned to his own bedroom to sleep.
He fancied himself the son of the Prince of Liang of Dayu, believing that even if Xiao Luo was merely a frog at the bottom of a well who failed to recognize Mount Tai, he wouldn't dare do anything to him.
By the time Bailing concluded her concert, Zhao Tiezhu and his companions chose not to seek her out individually, opting instead to leave quietly. Bailing had a life of her own, one that Zhao Tiezhu had no desire to interfere with.
Such sudden, chaotic thunderous hooves were something the villagers of the eight villages in Zijin had not heard in many years. Now that the commotion erupted so abruptly, the villagers had no idea what was happening.
"Qianxin has an older brother; I don't need you acting like one, let me go!" Besides, who treats someone like a younger brother the way you do? I struggled desperately, refusing to believe a single word he said.
The Bison wasn't stupid. If he handed over those materials, he would be extradited back even if he fled abroad; they were definitely things that could never see the light of day. Besides, had the Bison not feared death, he would never have allowed those documents to fall into Zhao Tiezhu's hands.
The principle was simple: a fuse was threaded into a sealed container, connecting all the way to a small amount of liquid fire within.
"Right, right, right! If you kill me, your career is finished too. You absolutely cannot kill me!" As the Bison spoke, mouthfuls of blood sprayed everywhere.
Zhang Yang described the luxurious state of the Bureau Chief's residence in detail. Xu Zhenguo listened intently from start to finish without even frowning once.
"She doesn't have dissociative identity disorder; she's clearly under the Sun and Moon Forbidden Curse." Donghuang Taixin's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. Without needing to look, merely listening to what Ye Chen described allowed her to perceive the crux of the matter.
After getting into the car, Su Qinghan's hands on the steering wheel trembled. The mere thought that the Gu poison in Su Ranran's body had been cured filled him with such overwhelming joy that he wanted to pull her into his embrace.
Yet one thing she was certain of: her mother was undeniably right—the power of this Nine Dragons Ring was profoundly formidable.
