Chapter 222: Okamura versus Zhao Zihe

In early September 1932 (the twenty-first year of the Republic of China), Yasuji Okamura, tasked with investigating the "Shulan-Beiyinhe Incident," arrived in Manchuria and immediately behaved like a wolf unchained after years of confinement. Instead of investigating the incident, he scurried everywhere looking for an opening to win merits and promotions.

In his mind, investigating the "Shulan-Beiyinhe Incident" was originally Kenji Doihara's responsibility. Since Doihara had already suffered a setback there, he himself would gain nothing by stepping into that mess.

Yiman truly found nothing to say to such a person. Besides, she had not spoken for a long time and no longer knew what was appropriate to say. If they could not meet, then so be it.

"Initiate ten morning kisses, and I'll let you go!" Gu Jingnan tightened his grip on her palm, his deep eyes gazing at her intently.

At the other end of the receiver, Gu Jingnan spoke in a low voice, yet uttered only a single sentence. Song Xiujin's pupils constricted, and he froze abruptly in place.

Zhaolu could tell that He Ran's martial arts were inherently inferior to "Dan Xiaoyao." Coupled with the fact that the victims controlled by the Heart-Devouring Gu possessed no normal human sense of pain and fought with reckless abandon, He Ran was soon driven to a disadvantage and was sent flying in a sorry state by a surge of internal energy.

Hearing Xue Li say this, Gu Ting was both exasperated and amused. He was exasperated by how brainless this fellow was—if he had truly killed those people, wouldn't he himself have become a public enemy of everyone? Yet he was pleased that this fellow could actually communicate with him, unlike those wooden, unresponsive soldiers.

There was no other alternative left. Gathering her wits, Zhaolu immediately turned and dashed toward the location where Shang Bai was.

This included Yue Jingyan being injured and hospitalized. Song Yu had even gone to visit her, and might just happen to run into Cheng Hong, who was also visiting.

"Does this kind of behavior of yours mean... I still have a chance?" Yu Feili narrowed his eyes slightly, staring straight at Zhaolu without the slightest avoidance, a wine-like, intoxicating half-smile lingering on his face.

Thumping down onto the bed, she collapsed onto it in total exhaustion, her mind somewhat flustered. She wondered what on earth President Yuan had said to her mother and father to make them so completely at ease about dumping her into his hands?

"Understood!" The Star Palace absorbed the purple mist and similarly gained the ability to use it to morph into nano-soldiers.

Before the Tower Master could even rush out of his residence, a figure suddenly appeared right in front of him.

As he walked, he kept his eyes on the ground. The bamboo pole of the green radish moved with him, tapping continually at the path ahead. Every so often, he would change his direction and tap at a patch of cold-rage grass. Only when no more soft-bodied creatures crawled out would Han Haofan slowly take another dozen steps to reach the cold-rage grass.

A black Huaxia Pride sedan drove up three-quarters of the way up Heavenly King Mountain and came to a halt. At this moment, a disagreement arose among the three men in black inside the vehicle.

Just as Grand Duke Ryan was quietly accumulating his strength, silently waiting, and searching for the core of the second divine artifact, his eyes suddenly lit up. On the back of the second divine artifact, Grand Duke Ryan discovered a special, fleeting red glow.

At this moment, Yao Guang was utterly bewildered, never expecting such a wonderful thing to happen. Perhaps happiness had arrived too abruptly, leaving him entirely unable to react.

Voices laden with various emotions such as astonishment, regret, and anxiety fell one after another. If this were a school in the outside world, this person would surely be a responsible and fine teacher.

Furthermore, Qin Yuehan was no fool. Having lingered in the business world for many years, his sharpness could well be imagined. Ever since she returned to China, Su Xingchen had continuously asked him out under all sorts of pretexts. The last time he stayed overnight at the Su residence, the news had been leaked so brazenly.

"Understood!" For the past twelve years, she had longed without a single moment's pause to untie this shackle, yet at this very moment, she found not a shred of joy in her heart, feeling instead a sense of loss.

He could not afford to stay even for a moment; otherwise, it would be extremely dangerous if Charlotte discovered him. However, Hua Xiu was unaware that Charlotte's magical powers had temporarily vanished at this time. Even if Charlotte were to discover him, there was nothing the latter could do to deal with him.
