Chapter 240: Along the Direction of History

On May 2nd, Chen Jiehua left the Duke Fujian's residence (currently, the Duke and his entire family are in Yilan, leaving the house empty while Aoki Seigen resides there) and drove toward the Army General Staff Office.

The gears of fate meshed once again as Chen Jiehua caught sight of Ramsay—that handsome yet somewhat wretched-looking figure from behind—entering the gates of the German Embassy in Tokyo from afar.

"Fine weather today."

Chen Jiehua greeted the guards at the General Staff Office, leaving them thrilled.

"Alright, I'm full. Let's go, it's been quite a while since the two of us threw punches," Feng Huirong said, swinging his arms.

Sister Liang instantly broke down, wailing bitterly. She truly never expected that the tender young lad who had merely stayed at the Changfeng Restaurant for a year could be so deeply loyal and righteous, repaying her in such a manner after so many years apart.

The Chief's words carried numerous subtexts, and the Wang brothers were astute men who naturally nodded in agreement.

"Oh, just tell me, and I'll give you this." With that, she produced a second-tier medicinal herb and handed it to Wang Rongguang.

Even while invisible, his person still had to descend from the rafters. Descending invariably created a noise, and any noise risked detection; detection risked attack, an attack risked forcing him to manifest, and once manifested, escaping would become exceedingly difficult.

It must be known that Liang Yin's father, Liang Xi, the Inspector of Liangzhou, was currently their boss. Liang Yin's mother had passed away many years ago, yet she had always enjoyed an impeccable reputation. Peng Feng had blurted out a string of reckless insults at the wrong time, ultimately arousing public outrage.

However, a short time ago, Liu Hai had completely broken with Zheng Xiangyang, handing over the evidence of Zheng Xiangyang's corruption to Xia Tian.

"I suppose you won't let me down," Hualuo dropped a dismissive, summary remark and turned to leave.

"Didn't you hear Instructor Yan say that this jade slip is single-use? It can't be used again once activated. So I read the contents of the jade slip a bit slowly to memorize every bit of it," Xinan said calmly. Yet everyone who heard her words was anything but calm. In their earlier excitement, they had completely failed to consider this.

Hua Mei's body had long since reached the point of utter exhaustion. It was only due to the critical situation that she forcefully sustained herself with sheer willpower. At this moment, she was definitely no match for Hua Xu, who had manifested his illusory divine true form, and a single strike would undoubtedly plunge her into severe injury once more.

"Very well, since you do not go back on your word, let us begin!" After waiting a long while without receiving a reply from Jiuyin, a flash of shame and anger crossed the Third Prince's eyes.

Yet, following the neighbor's accusations against Nanning, Mother Nan's compassionate heart toward Nanning gradually began to change.

Before meeting Gu Xiaoxin, he had always assumed he was a rather hard-hearted middle-aged man. Not only did he think this of himself, but those around him also shared this private assessment.

Sipping Pre-Qingming Longjing tea, Zhao Qianxun wore a look of triumphant delight. Having felt stifled for half a year, he finally felt at ease these past few days.

He had hoped to ensnare Yu Qiang, a man of considerable wealth, in one trap after another to pay for his mother's medical treatment. Yet the wealthiest man in Huahe and China right before his eyes was step by step setting traps for him instead. Now it was all over; no one could save him...

Later on, whether inadvertently or intentionally, the newspaper blew the words spoken by an actress named Hu Meipian completely out of proportion.

Night gradually fell, and lights flickered on in households one by one, leaving only the old Ning family residence pitch black.

"I heard the design director at Tingtao is a single mother. That child of hers wouldn't happen to be yours, would they?" Wan Chu'er deliberately asked.

"Why the sudden urge to come back? Aren't you afraid your two folks will nag your ears off?" Su Yunzhou was well aware of why Yan Zhengkun had avoided City A all these years. So coming back now meant he had thought things through? Ready to return home and settle down?

This was a matter that Ning Qianqian had agonized over for a long time. Prior to coming to the capital, she had never crossed paths with Yun Ting, had she?
