Chapter 26: You Never Said That

"I am saying that you never said that."

The relationship between Liang Youjia and Xianyu was simply that of a patron and his canary, a fact known to everyone from Liang Youjia's friends down to his assistant.

The assistant did not know what had transpired between Mr. Liang and his little canary. He only observed Mr. Liang’s expression and gathered that whatever he had just said must have struck a nerve.

Back and forehead...

Hearing that Xu Zifeng was about to leave, Xing Zhuoyi immediately called out to stop him, then turned and walked into the pavilion. Xu Zifeng’s gaze followed her, and he noticed a box sitting on the table inside the pavilion.

In a daze, he recalled those words from Yin Ting. Was it truly that they had protected her too well, or had she hidden herself too well?

He reached up to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Looking at the crowd passing by outside the window, he felt as though his heart had lost its anchor.

After all, they had embarrassed themselves before all the universities in Kunming this time. Given that the matter concerned the school's honor and prestige, the principal could not sit idly by and ordered Lin Meishan to bring Xu Zifeng back to accept the challenge.

"Let's go, the auction is starting! Once Li Zheyu's business is finished, Old Li and Wu Cheng will be back too. We’re heading back to France!" Jiang Yining whispered in my ear.

"Jiang Yining, I hate you, and I hate myself too!" I murmured under my breath, pressing against his chest as I squeezed out the words, devoid of any emotion.

Hearing her address, Ouyang Yan chuckled, raising a hand to lightly cover her mouth. With a single phone call, Jiang Muheng had startled his parents, who were vacationing abroad, into catching a flight back to Tongcheng that very night.

Tang Miao nudged the chubby master beside her. The master, surnamed Pan, had become familiar with Tang Miao over the past two days. Naturally, he was unaware that Tang Miao was secretly calling him "Fatty Master" in her head.

"Grandpa Village Chief, times are progressing, and the country needs to progress as well. People abroad dress more avant-gardely than we do, and we are striving to keep up with international fashion." Otherwise, their country would surely continue to be looked down upon.

A faint, barely perceptible curve touched the corner of Mu Liyan’s mouth as he carried Shu Ning toward his car.

Yue Yang was shocked. How could Yue Zhonglei possibly know about this? Clearly, after rescuing Jin Lan, he had kept her under strict guard. Everyone who had access to this matter was his own person; could it be that someone among his ranks had been bought off by Yue Zhonglei?

The black Ranger behind him seemed to sense Old Tang’s anxiety, and the arm locked around his neck tightened like a noose. This finally brought Old Tang back to his senses, and he thought, "To hell with it! If he wants me dead, I’m not going to make it easy for him either."

He had been loyal to General Yi Guoru for many years; there was no reason for him to turn his back on him now. Even if sentenced to death, as long as he kept his mouth shut, General Yi would likely find a way to save him. Prince Yin, on the other hand, had merely held the Wenfeng Decree and arrested a few people; he was certainly not as reliable as General Yi.

Ling Shu looked at her with an innocent expression, her bright, watery eyes wide, completely unaware of the shadow looming over her from behind.

As the three holy figures and Lionheart Teuton turned their backs on Wang Ming to depart, Wang Ming fixed his attention on the aura of the Blood Demon Emperor within the Principality of Guinea.

Over the course of more than a decade, countless resources had been poured in, yet the results were meager, to the point where they still had to rely on old methods to effectively produce turbine blades.

If Yun Leng was involved, the matter became complicated. That fellow always acted in unpredictable ways and was simply not someone the Capital Special Forces could handle. Therefore, Lin Feng told them not to pursue the investigation, as doing so would be a waste of time and could even lead to unnecessary losses. It was better to save that energy for more useful tasks.

"Sister, these competitions have lost all meaning," Liang Yu said, shaking his head with an air of indifference.
