Chapter 49: No Regrets Once the Move is Made

"Ring, ring, ring..."

In the morning, the telephone bell in the office of Kwun Tong Food Factory rang, breaking the quiet inside.

Chen Bingwen put down the operational optimization proposal submitted by Ling Peiyi and picked up the phone. Ng Sio-yuen's voice came through the receiver.

"Hello, Mr. Ng?"

"Mr. Chen, good morning!" There was a hint of urgency in Ng Sio-yuen's voice. "The draft contract has been drawn up. My lawyer just delivered it to the Tak Shun Accounting Firm you designated—"

"What is it again?" After he got out of bed, Xia Xue woke up from her sleep, propped herself up on the bed, and looked with drowsy eyes at him, who was wearing a bathrobe and selecting clothes in front of the wardrobe.

It wasn't until he saw Lin Yan suddenly walking toward him that Bai Mo put away his lazy demeanor and stared straight at Lin Yan.

Qin Ting smiled as she listened to Liu Yuanqing talk. His hand gestures accompanied his speech, exuding a full sense of boldness—completely different from the impression he gave at social events previously. At this moment, he felt like a magnanimous and approachable elder.

"A gentle breeze is hard to produce, and I..." Ouyang San just wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Chen Yun.

As soon as Qin Ting saw it was a call from He Liuyang, she answered it immediately. Seeing Qin Ting pick up the phone, He Liuyang felt a wave of relief in his heart. He told Qin Ting everything about Zhou Yongheng and Zhou Yongchun.

Those black skeletons grew larger and larger, wrapping around the Giant Void Ghost and emitting terrifying screeches. This move seemed to work on the Giant Void Ghost, as it began to scamper about wildly. The skeletons opened their terrifying mouths, as if slowly devouring it. Hundred Night Ghost's move was indeed quite terrifying.

Tao Gongyi then walked out of the private room, his hands behind his back, strolling leisurely over to the four men of the Mononobe clan, looking at them with a smile without saying a word.

Then, the two of them continued unhurriedly toward the village. A hint of moonlight could already be seen over the night here, and the woods were gloomy. Soon, they walked out of the forest.

Old Fu didn't look too good when he said this, and Smith, who had just been slapped in the face publicly, looked even worse. To be honest, the CIA hiring personnel from third-party countries to carry out missions was a tradition from the Cold War.

Empress Qin had a pair of phoenix eyes, with the outer corners slightly uptilted. When she smiled, her eyebrows danced with spirit; when she didn't, she carried three parts of majesty.

As soon as these words were finished, Old Fu furrowed his brow, because it was clear that J still had a second half of the sentence to say.

"Then I'll start from after you fell unconscious." Sun Houji rubbed the bridge of his nose, collected his thoughts, and recalled the past years.

Thus, Li Qiang was immediately placed on the stretcher that had been brought up. J's tears came on command as well, and covering her mouth, she sobbed softly all the way down the stairs behind the stretcher.

Young people can never understand the pain of elderly couples losing a child. It was only recently, after becoming a master of the Ghost Gate and experiencing more than before, that I came to understand it slightly.

Because Consort Zhen was pregnant with the imperial bloodline and could not be severely punished, Emperor Jianning issued an imperial decree demoting Consort Zhen's father, who was an official in the imperial court, by two ranks.

"Believe it or not. A living corpse can become an advanced walking corpse. Walking corpses themselves don't eat walking corpses; how could advanced walking corpses possibly eat low-level ones?" The acne-faced girl refuted Song Jiu with a string of tongue-twisters. Without caring whether he understood or not, she clutched her wound, ran into the inner room, and threw a box of medicinal gauze pads to Ah Hai.

"Thud!" The red humanoid monster was struck by the powerful electric current, plummeted from mid-air, fell to the ground, and convulsed continuously, evidently entering a paralyzed state.

He had checked long ago; he had practically run through all the medical stations in the surrounding bases that could provide consultations.

Knowing that Li Kui was a heavy gambler, she figured he would go out and gamble until it was pitch dark before returning. Why was he heading home after being out for only a morning? She found it extremely strange. Even if he lost everything, given his personality, he would immediately go back to get more money to gamble; how could he waste time coming home with her to buy rice?

As soon as Guan Shuhan finished speaking, she caught sight of Luo Yang not far away. She straightened the hair ornament that had been disheveled by Ye Xiu just moments ago, walked past Ye Xiu, and headed toward Luo Yang.
