Chapter 44: Indulgence!

Song Shaocheng snorted coldly, shot Wang Hao a glare, and followed behind Chen Fan and Shao Zining.

At this moment, only Wang Hao stood there, bewildered.

Suddenly, a wave of realization struck Wang Hao—enlightenment dawned upon him!

Damn it, so what if that bumpkin has a bit of money?

A bit of money might win him a gold digger, but there’s no way it would win over a goddess like Shao Zining!

……

By now, the blue team finally began to grow anxious, sensing that the situation was turning decidedly against them.

“Alright, I was wrong,” Lin Xiquan admitted uneasily. The hand holding the bottle of mineral water was clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

Indeed, Luoyang truly lives up to its name as the city of peonies, known as the King of a Hundred Flowers! All ten beauties were dressed in cheongsam, which accentuated their graceful figures and made them striking to behold. The cheongsams were in different colors, but each was embroidered with bright, vivid peonies competing in splendor.

“Master!” Tie Rou walked over, her face full of annoyance at being stood up.

Hmm, how exactly did he lose just now? It seemed that if he hadn’t done that, things wouldn’t have unfolded as they did, and in the end, he wouldn’t have been defeated so utterly.

Seeing the scene before me, it was obvious what they were up to—the villager must have discovered something and run into town to inform these police officers.

The Empress Dowager cast a half-smiling, half-mocking glance at Yin Qingyu. Strangely, the ever-bold and shameless Second Young Master Yin suddenly felt his face flushing.

Fan Shengmei had already anticipated this outcome, so she smiled knowingly and got into the car. She found it amusing that Wang Baichuan seemed so reluctant, probably afraid he wouldn’t fit in with the upper-class crowd. Yet her amusement remained hidden, never reaching her face.

It was merely an oversight by the nurse: one went to the cafeteria, another left to wash dishes in the public restroom, and in that brief moment, Qiu Yingying disappeared. Guan Ju’er was both anxious and exasperated, pacing around in circles. Of course, Qiu Yingying’s phone was unreachable.

That was something only you would dare to say. He sighed quietly, a faint smile tugging at his lips.

Would anything happen during that half-minute’s walk? Chen Weibin worried all the while. After lunch, he took the office clerk, Wu Lei, with him in the police car and drove to the starting point of that half-minute walk.

But Jiang Qianrao’s character was not like that—she would never utter such words. She nodded and said, “Wait a moment,” then hurried back to her office to fetch her bag, and silently followed Yin Zheng to Ji Xiaocheng’s office.

The Grand Empress Dowager and Liang Han were both so excited they could barely contain themselves. Both hailed from the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage’s household, a family of generals. Compared to other men, they possessed a touch more passion and decisiveness.

As Luo Ran stepped down from the carriage, she saw a crowd gathered at the roadside and, feeling uneasy, instinctively moved to hide behind Lu Jingmo.

Though it was a mechanical horse, the carriage wheels were made of wood, and its speed was limited. These people were determined to follow and simply couldn’t be shaken off.

The villagers from the Ye family hadn’t gone far; they were still near the gruel stand, slurping down their thin porridge.

For the sake of that worthless stone, he and Hagiwara had nearly been sniped on the roof of the Metropolitan Police Department. He remembered it vividly.

When they reached the iron posts, Chen Weibin parked by the roadside, the right side of the car pressed closely against several iron stakes. The following car, seeing Chen Weibin stop again, also came to a halt.

This peerless disciple of the Nether Hall couldn’t help but let her alluringly pure lips curve into a faint smile.

He had seen true dragons before—those dragon clan members were all insufferably proud. Though their true forms were massive, they much preferred manifesting in human guise before the world.

Violet nodded excitedly. Now, possessing the power of a high-ranking main god of the Thunder and Lightning system, she was indeed formidable.
