Chapter 53: Brother Zhao, Be Our Tang Family's Resident Son-in-Law

On the gravel-paved mountain road, a red off-road vehicle slowly drove toward an open clearing.

Beneath the streetlights, Wen Min, accompanied by Bogang, walked forward slowly.

Zhao Chen glanced around behind the two and, seeing no other figures, led the others out of the car one by one.

"Sister Wen Min, I'm really sorry to disturb your rest in the middle of the night."

Tang Yan skipped over, threw herself into Wen Min's embrace, and smiled brightly: "Sister Wen Min, it's so wonderful to see you again. I've missed you terribly during this time."

Wen Min gave a light huff, pinched her nose in mild reproach, and scolded: "You stole my people away, and yet you have the nerve to say you miss me? I think you were just afraid of seeing me again, weren't you?"

"No way, I didn't know at the time that Brother Zhao was in my..."

Upon seeing the room full of skeletons, the thought of how frightened Xiao Ling must have been crossed his mind. He found an empty box, packed the skeletons inside, and then carried them outside to bury them.

Liu Zhaodi's mind raced. Just as she was rapidly formulating a new tactical plan and preparing to launch another offensive, the meeting room door was pushed open.

Earlier, she had been entirely focused on Xiao Ling's injuries and hadn't noticed anything amiss. Now, reminded by Xiao Ling's words, she realized just how forward and audacious her actions had been.

Qingjiu's usual smile turned somewhat bitter. She knew her father was treating them as targets to vent his frustrations on, but this was also within expectations. Because Wu'er had lost the Jiuli Lamp, her soul had returned to the netherworld. Although they had gone to the underworld to demand Wu'er's soul, they were completely unable to find it, not knowing whether she had already reincarnated or been taken away by someone else.

Police officers were human too, and naturally understood joy, anger, sorrow, and delight. In their spare time, they also knew how to joke around and find some amusement. This time, however, they were teasing Zhao Jingdong and Zhou Ruijie about a relationship that hadn't even taken shape yet.

With these thoughts, Feng Rui yawned and drifted off to sleep. Lin Anran had been keeping watch the entire time, and seeing that Feng Rui was finally asleep, she lay down on the accompanying bed.

Xiao Ling rolled up Meng Tian's sleeves before tearing off the handkerchief that had been casually tied around his wound. The handkerchief was practically soaked through with blood. Fortunately, a river flowed nearby; Xiao Ling used the river water to wash it clean and then wiped away the blood around Meng Tian's wounds.

In the mailroom, looking at the video on his phone, Jiang Ke wore a blank expression, seemingly unsatisfied with his own creation. Sister Li, on the other hand, after going through wave after wave of astonishment, was overjoyed. If she could exist in the physical world outside, she would have loved to share a drink with Wang Ping right then and there.

All these various factors had consistently resulted in Fang Chen's physical body not being strong enough to match his monstrous ability to fight opponents above his realm. This was a hidden vulnerability inherent to him. Yet now, this weakness was undoubtedly being gradually erased.

"Understood!" Following that, Zhao Long and the others immediately destroyed the bodies of Jun Ge and his men. They promptly dispatched scouts to gather intelligence on Tsukimi Tsukiwa's whereabouts. Before long, the owner of the repair shop appeared before Zhao Long and his companions holding a map. Then, the three of them began meticulous deployment based on the map.

Aside from her mother, no one had ever looked at her with such maternal tenderness, nor had anyone guided her with such care when she was at her most vulnerable and bewildered.

No one would pay special attention to you here, and no one would deliberately try to draw your gaze. Perhaps this place lacked the lavishness of a corporate cocktail party, but it possessed a raw authenticity sorely missing from such gatherings.

The young man who had just brought her along in his escape let out an out-of-control roar. With his hands splayed wide, he pushed hard against the ground, desperately trying to regain his balance.

"I can give you the money, but you must take responsibility for safely escorting us to the Dan Gathering Hall!" Blinded by the money, Feng Shao temporarily forgot her recent terror and began negotiating terms.

"Where did she go?" Seeing Ye Miaocheng in this state, Ye Lucheng frowned deeply and asked in a stern voice.

Even using one's big toe, one could guess what kind of matter it was, so I went along feeling as if I were heading to the execution grounds.

"Don't be nervous. I just think you did a good job, take it." With that, Wang Yan grabbed my hand and shoved the money right into my palm.

Whenever An Ruoran was sad or distressed, Wang Siyu felt a deep sense of joy. Seeing An Ruoran's current state only made Wang Siyu even happier.

Having operated in the Sunken Land for so long, Dyson still commanded a degree of loyal followers. Unfortunately, they were now facing a Holy Spirit Angel.

"Reporting to Consort Dowager, it is indeed the Commandery Princess of Luocheng." Shielding Consort Dowager Min, Xiao Yunmo walked toward the bamboo cottage as he spoke.

His head throbbed with a dull pain, and bizarre, fragmented images swirled endlessly in his mind—sometimes clear, sometimes blurry, eventually converging only to shatter apart once more.

When she went to study abroad in Britain, Xu Zeyun handled everything personally. He escorted her there, settled her into a residence, and stayed with her for half a month before returning.

Seeing the two of them eating with such relish, a gentle and charming smile bloomed across Yin Zhihua's face.

What Cheng Lijung said was obviously a falsehood, and everyone present could hear it, yet they were quite willing to exchange polite pleasantries with him. They praised him for his hard work and dedication, lauded his service to the people, and urged him not to act rashly or let impulsiveness guide his actions.

When Yin Zhihua threw herself into his arms, he naturally responded by instinctively wrapping his arms tightly around her.

Shawn desperately wanted to refuse, but the moment he recalled the words he had just shouted out loud, he found himself nodding as if under a spell.

The Saturn Pioneering Corps: Primarily responsible for mining minerals on Titan, while simultaneously constructing Space Base No. 3 and the Saturn Stargate.

Ling Yuan stood tall and upright, neither humble nor overbearing. He merely asked straightforward questions, without a single trace of gossip on his face.

Watching the courtyard gate close once again, the corners of Fang Wanqyu's lips curled upward. She walked over, shut her bedroom door, shed her clothes, and slipped beneath the covers.

Yet once they emerged, they wept, for many parts of Paris were ablaze, with thick, dark smoke billowing across the Parisian sky.

Bai Ling, who had anxiously shoved the door open, froze in absolute shock upon seeing that graceful figure wielding a large cooking ladle.

Disheveled, drenched in sweat, and utterly exhausted. Some wore only a single shoe, while others lacked even one.

As Xingchen spoke, a radiant smile bloomed across her face. She looked breathtakingly beautiful. Tian Zifeng stared at her like an utter lovesick fool, completely missing whatever Xingchen was saying, while Zejin lowered his head close, engrossed in some unknown activity.

Hearing that Ye Feng intended to test his equipment on the rooftop, the others were naturally eager to witness such legendary realm-tier artifacts firsthand.

After stepping onto the stage, Su Tian looked at Wang Chengfeng and couldn't help offering a bitter smile. In the past, Su Tian had been the most sought-after genius of the Su family. It was only after his crushing defeat against Wang Chengfeng during the inter-city annual competition of the previous year that Wang Chengfeng's title as the undisputed leader of the younger generation in Qingyang Town was firmly cemented.
