Chapter 78: The Foundation Was Dug Too Deep, Disturbing the Spring’s Vein

"Don't even mention it," Director Zhang complained grimly. "It's all because of the demolition. Someone built a house illegally at home, the demolition office wouldn't agree, so they took people to forcefully tear it down. I went to mediate the dispute, but things got so chaotic that someone struck me on the head with a stick."

"Who was it? So bold, they dare to hit someone from the residents' committee?"

Grandmother, Mrs. Wang, and Zhang Dashan's wife heard the commotion and came out from their respective houses.

Wang Lao from Lama Lane...

Moreover, he knew his own strength very well, yet he still had no idea how Wu Shisan managed to subdue him.

"If I told you Uncle Jun's arm was severed by my sword, would you believe me?" Ling Yu said suddenly.

Ning Yu tried to smile, but found she couldn't control her cheeks; she was now a zombie, her facial nerves long dead or altered, leaving her face numb and senseless.

Ling Yu had assumed the person following him must be after Yan Xi, but he hadn't expected it was actually for himself.

"Where are you? I'll come find you," Yan Xi asked again. It was only the first day of summer break, and she couldn't stand staying at home any longer, bored to tears.

In the courtyard, another elder in a green robe sighed softly. Though he seemed not to exude any powerful aura, his body was somewhere between tangible and ethereal, as elusive as a gentle breeze.

"So, brother, would you say I've done everything I could?" Chief Liu showed me his hand after slapping Long Haotian—it was indeed red from the effort.

Murong Chuchu never imagined herself embroiled in a wealthy family's feud. She had never wanted this, yet she was caught up in it nonetheless.

Then, Ning Yu rushed forward, and in an instant, she was battling the black men, sending them flying all around.

But ultimately, he hadn't foreseen that at the very moment of his success, he would become someone else's prey.

"How about this, Uncle Zhang? I'll tell Grandpa, and ask him to call my father, so Dad goes to visit. No matter how busy he is, he'll make time." Luo Qingxue pulled a face at Zhang Daqing, mischievously clever.

Seeing the cold, distant Yue, Mu Xuan's eyes flashed helplessness and sorrow. The young master was far too sentimental; this was not a good thing for her.

After a while, the old chancellor was escorted into the palace by a guard, heading toward the residence of the second prince.

Jiayu watched as Kaiyang's lips curled upward, his eyes crinkling into adorable crescent moons. She had to admit he really was captivating.

What was going on? They found him, but didn't explain anything. Was this so secret that even the Swiss embassy knew nothing?

Yingchun nodded with feigned innocence, though she understood Madam Xu's meaning perfectly. She was delighted at how Madam Xu manipulated etiquette and rules; she truly was the product of the first Lady of the Rongguo Mansion.

"The next topic I need to discuss requires the highest confidentiality and cannot be determined when it will be declassified. From now on, this knowledge can only be taught at the Advanced Research Institute, which we will soon establish within the Daming Technical Academy. It will be called the Daming Academy of Sciences, our highest academic research institution."

Though the city of Zaikong was guarded by the shadow army, checking each traveler, fortunately Bai Ningxi and Cu Xiying managed to enter the city smoothly without any incident.

Seeing this, the leader of the Jin Phoenix soldiers immediately followed the Yan Kingdom general out the door.

Her body was already filthy and ragged, repeatedly ravaged by Luo Lin, leaving indelible scars in her heart.

On the contrary, he began to imagine more. This venom, so sinister, had once been used by the Li family, and then he experienced it himself. Perhaps, behind the Li family stood the Palace of Flowing Flowers—one could not be sure.
