Chapter Fifty-One: A Solution

Unlike Lu Yalan, who takes a hands-off approach, every matter, big or small, in Yilan Garden must pass through Hongxing’s hands. She knows her servants intimately—their roles, their personalities, and all the hidden ties behind them. When A Cao was transferred to Yilan Garden, Hongxing quickly noticed this quiet, diligent maid who swept the grounds without complaint. Through occasional interactions, she found A Cao to be respectful yet confident, and grew fond of her. But at the time, their mistress and servant relationship was fraught with hardship; they could not protect others. If A Cao became too close to her, she might be implicated, so Hongxing’s special regard for A Cao remained unnoticed by others.

Later, when Qian Ma left, the household lost several staff, and all their positions had to be reorganized. Hongxing, wishing to look after A Cao, made arrangements. It must be said, imperial blood truly sets one apart—this girl, about eighteen or nineteen, possessed a stunning beauty and slender figure, standing graceful and elegant, with an extraordinary bearing.

Hearing the old officer speak, Qian Lan immediately turned to follow the others, searching along two different paths.

That mountain of flesh was again sent flying, yet it seemed unharmed, landing as lightly as a feather.

"Rest assured, so long as you don’t stab us in the back, my brothers won’t play tricks on you," Xiao Ming said.

Hongfu Township has lagged behind in every respect because it has never had a bold, capable leader who understands policy and economics.

Bailing’s voice, like the angel of death from hell, made everyone present swallow nervously; some even prostrated themselves, fearing this powerful figure might kill them next.

This sense of confusion arose the moment the three hundred Yong cavalry appeared before them.

When the news returns to the clan, those elders and great powers will not spare the ones in charge.

Before Ma Donglin left Ningyang City, he called Bai Ruiqi, fabricating an urgent reason from Forward Village to hasten his return.

"As expected," Li Hao said, unsurprised. Though those who came to congratulate him were not all supporters, many were too cautious to take risks.

Zhou Yingying and Zhao Xin were surprised, though not as dramatically as Cao Yu. Knowing Xu Zhe well, they understood he would never squander money; buying so much raw jade must have a reason.

The panicked and distracted Incharlet was no longer Xu Zhe’s match, unable even to defend against his attacks. In a flash, Xu Zhe seized an opening, kicking his right foot into Incharlet’s chest, causing a suffocating pressure to flood his body.

"Heh, I won’t refuse!" Wu Changming took the card without any pretense, and Cao Shuijing obediently hurried over to whisper the password.

"Serves you right, you glutton!" Chen Shuang said, dragging Gu Xiaobei toward her formidable Land Rover. The vehicle seemed coated in a fine layer of dust from the journey, yet still gleamed with metallic luster.

"Alright, let’s go," Zhang Yao said, smiling as Lu Feiyang packed up his things and walked beside him.

Just as Lin Xifan was about to cross a forked intersection and enter the ring road, a red Lamborghini followed closely behind. Not only did it brush past him, but a hundred meters ahead, it braked and blocked the crossroads, barring Lin Xifan’s way.

As for Black Tiger and his men, having witnessed Lu Feiyang’s prowess, they were already overjoyed. Now, watching this scene, they felt no worry at all, convinced that this ability-user would surely emerge victorious without a scratch.

Gu Xiaobei awoke the next morning in a warm embrace. The cozy feeling made her reluctant to move; she nestled in Li Haonan’s arms, feigning ignorance, though gentle kisses had already fallen upon her face, caressing her cheeks with a ticklish, burning warmth.

Lin Feng and Zhao the Fool exchanged glances and quickly retreated. Who knew if the cave had any ventilation? So many years had passed—surely the air inside was dangerous and should not be inhaled.
