When she was finally all alone in the room, Lu Yalan could no longer hold herself together. Supporting herself against the wall, she slid down slowly until she slumped against the door panel, burying her face in her knees and curling up into a tight ball.
The night was as chilling as water, and the myriad lights of the city had all gone out. The moonlight outside the window failed to reach the corner where Lu Yalan sat. The room was devoid of light and plunged in deep silence, occasionally broken by the drifting sounds of suppressed, heart-wrenching sobs, making the gloomy and cold environment feel even more desolate and eerie.
Not knowing how long she had sat on the floor, Lu Yalan wiped away her tears and scrambled up using both hands and feet. Her legs were so numb they lacked all sensation, her knees ached as if pierced by needles, and her clothes clung to her body without a shred of warmth. Though her body was utterly exhausted, she knew she could not rest yet; she had to tidy herself up...
Li Ruyuan was a seasoned veteran who had weathered countless storms and witnessed many people in the business world fall and fail to rise again. By now, he was deeply astute and calculating; at a single glance, he could see through the hidden tricks behind many matters, and thus he completely understood what Guo Xihao was thinking.
Yet, holding onto a glimmer of hope, she opened her phone, and indeed, she found the information on various fugitive serial killers posted by Tong Xinlan, with Chen Xinhai naturally occupying the most prominent spot at the top.
Through three hundred lives and deaths of reincarnation, Duan Zui could never forget Wang Hao's appearance and voice.

Qin Xiao could not help being slightly stunned, lowering his head to look at his feet. In the heat of the moment just now, he had paid no attention, so he had indeed trampled upon quite a few fallen peach blossoms.
Having followed Monkey for a very long time, although there was an annual gathering, it was always scheduled around the Chinese New Year. A sudden, unexplained gathering like this was something they encountered for the very first time.
In an era without chemical fertilizers, even high-yield crops could not possibly reach yields of thousands of catties per mu like in modern times, but these two crops were indeed truly drought-resistant.
The Prince Yu's Mansion was heavily guarded and completely impenetrable; Jiang Yulin and Shen Changxun spent the entire night tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Before long, the two discovered a Golden Core cultivator from the Heaven-Ascension Palace, locked in fierce battle with a Hundred Refinements Sect Golden Core cultivator whose body had been invaded by a fierce ghost.
Though she constantly muttered that she hoped Xia Tian would be admitted to a fine university, deep down she wished even more for her son to grow up healthy and happy.
Chen Sanyuan took out his portable flint, blew a spark into a faint beam of light, and immediately a clear trail of tracks appeared in the muddy ground underfoot, winding all the way around several scattered graves.
Because this was the Demon Suppressing Division, an agency dedicated to maintaining stability in Great Qin, its primary responsibility was to slay demons and bizarre entities, though it naturally handled a few other sideline duties as well.

Therefore, he had dared to kneel before the emperor and boldly request a fief for Yu Wangfei. The eunuch had been right there in the hall at the time, so terrified he scarcely dared to breathe, but fortunately, the emperor had consented.
If Xu Wanyan wanted to run, let her run. The earth was only so big; where could she possibly go? Once she let down her guard, she would naturally return to his vicinity.
He had originally intended to watch Xu Wanyan make a fool of herself, but upon hearing others praise her, he too felt a sense of reflected glory.
"This thing looks like a plant. I wonder if fire will work against it!" Guangxia knitted her delicate brows and cast a meaningful glance at the person beside her.
She was probably saying, "That Jiang Shu is no good person, don't get too close to Jiang Shu." Jiang Shu sighed, sipping the coffee Xu Yao had given her, too lazy to care what Zhan Shengxia was saying.
To ensure the film's confidentiality measures were carried out to the end, Wu Feiwei decided to return to her hometown village after wrapping up, resting there until the Cannes Film Festival in mid-year, before heading to France together with the crew.
Lavishing praise upon the young gentleman without reservation, the old fisherman spoke entirely from the heart, though he wondered whether this young master Tang would be able to catch his meaning.
