Chapter 80: Saving Money

Over here, after Ye Chen and Qin Sisi returned to the office, Qin Sisi took in the mountain of woven sacks piled up inside—the sacks contained a full two hundred million in cash. With a sigh and a teasing smile, she quipped to Ye Chen, “You really live up to your title of President Ye now. Two hundred million in cash—why, that’s our Qin family’s entire monthly turnover!”

...

While the prominent figures gathered around Li Tao, chatting boisterously and aimlessly, Vice Chairman Lian Qingguo finally returned to Huairentang at two o’clock in the morning, carrying the final results of the simulated test.

After the convoy entered the mountain pass, their speed slowed, crawling steadily towards the exit. There were four vehicles in total: a military Humvee leading the way, followed by an armored transport, and two large trucks covered with canvas bringing up the rear. Inside sat two squads of fully armed soldiers.

“Xiao Qiang, will you be leaving again after coming back this time?” Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment before starting the conversation.

“Wow! He actually won an award at Tokyo International Fashion Week—and the designer is an alumnus of Yanjing University. If I went back to campus wearing this, wouldn’t I be the talk of the town? At that point, any girl I fancied would be within easy reach.” The young man could not help but marvel inwardly.

When they returned safely to the Emiya residence, Jeanne was pacing anxiously by the door, while Bedivere stood dutifully at her side, offering comfort to the agitated Jeanne.

Huo Dongfang knew the truth had come out. He dared not resist or argue, only held his head in his hands as Tian Hongbing kicked and beat him. Regret filled his heart; had he known Fang Haotian was trying to cure his own mother, he would never have done such a thing.

After switching to a Model 30 rifle and receiving a bit of guidance, Xu Nan could hit the target five or six times out of ten shots at two hundred meters. She leapt for joy at her progress.

Though the words hardly sounded comforting, after hearing Yuki’s voice, Frenda miraculously began to stop sobbing. Only then did Yuki lift her gaze to Levi, her eyes seeming to convey, “Mission accomplished.”

Of course, though the house was provided by a friend, Duan Qirui never hesitated to smash a glass when the time called for it.

Before she could think further, Qu Wayne seized her wrist, dragged her outside, bundled her into the car, and started the engine, driving away from the hospital.

After giving birth, Lin Mubai began to treat her own leg. She had no more reservations—her child was born, and the deadly poison of the night-blooming cereus was spreading through her body. There was no reason to fear fighting poison with poison anymore. The cold poison in her knee could only be forced back with something even more toxic.

“What now? Is President Luo really planning to retaliate? You might want to ask Weiwei if she agrees first.” Feng Yuansheng raised an eyebrow, clearly convinced that Lin Weiwei would never allow Luo Zhiheng to lay a hand on him.

“Why are you here so suddenly?” It was far more than simple surprise—held in Luo Zhiheng’s arms for so long, Lin Weiwei was still reeling in shock, her mind completely blank.

Whether it was the hospital, the Qu or Yan families, or the Mu family, a thick, unshakeable gloom hung over them all.

This was the first time she bowed her head to him, pleading in such a soft, gentle voice. It touched the most tender chord in his heart; the man could not help but be moved, lowering his head to glance at her.

Just as expected, Wang Anxu had already met with Madam Mei. Qi Chisu did not approach, but instead hid nearby, watching them in secret. All she knew came from the client’s memories; it didn’t mean the client herself knew everything. Qi Chisu felt it was best to observe a while longer.

Thinking over everything Xiao Yan had been through recently, Emperor Qianlong unconsciously narrowed his eyes, a glint of cold ferocity flashing through his long, narrow phoenix eyes.
