Chapter 158: Seeing Zhou Jingyi Again

Zhou Jingyi said, “Not for the time being.”

Cun Hui relaxed slightly.

Zhou Jingyi continued interrogating him. “Did Zhou Chengli send you here? What was the purpose? To kill someone?”

Cun Hui fell silent again.

Zhou Jingyi asked, “You don’t want to say, or you can’t?”

Cun Hui replied, “There are rules in our line of work as well. The job already failed, which is our mistake. We cannot compound it with another.”

Nanny Liu was deeply worried too. After answering, she turned anxiously toward Wen Su beside her. Wen Su wore a cold expression and held her breath, merely telling Nanny Liu to hurry and bring over today’s medicinal dregs. Upon hearing this, Nanny Liu hurried out, ran to the kitchen, and returned with the medicine pot as well.

Tonight saw three rescheduled matches from the twenty-eighth round of the Premier League. At the same time, Middlesbrough and Sunderland faced off in a crucial relegation battle. Playing at home, Boro defeated the Black Cats one goal to nil, securing three precious points in their fight against relegation.

In China, marshes are mainly distributed across two regions. One is the Sanjiang Plain in the northeast, and the other is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where Chen Hu was currently located.

The system had given him a deadline of one month. If he traveled across the plains, the journey would take only about fifteen days of daylight, but the route contained many treacherous terrains, and the time required would undoubtedly multiply several times over.

Chen Hu shouted. Isabelle was startled as well and immediately ran toward the off-road vehicle. But this also revealed their position. The black mamba twisted its body and, in the blink of an eye, shot rapidly toward Chen Hu, who was nearest.

He was one of the prolific scoring goalkeepers common in South America during that era. He ranked second on the list of goalkeepers who had scored, behind Brazilian goalkeeper Rogério Ceni.

The three units were rivals, so they were all extremely familiar with one another’s personnel movements.

With no time to think, the two of them leapt into the water and caught Shen Qingwu and Qin Lianye, who were about to sink, each pulling one into his arms before letting out a long breath of relief.

Seeing the solemn expression on Yun Ruoyang’s face and the unfathomable depths of his dark eyes, she could not discern his emotions. Gritting her teeth, she increased her efforts.

Even Tianjue did not believe Nie Tian could stand against a half-immortal. By then, she had already prepared herself to rescue him. The moment Nie Tian was in any danger, she would save him immediately.

In the so-called “Nine Heavens”—that is, the main burial chamber—we had not found the “Dragon-Patterned Stone Box” or the “Second Ghost Seal,” not even inside the tomb owner’s coffin. I had begun to wonder whether we had come to the right place at all. Perhaps the Fat Man’s guess had been nothing more than a guess.

Had he not possessed Mo Qingcheng, the peerless immortal beauty who was his wife, even Nie Tian would likely have fallen prey to this deception.

The middle-aged man was startled and hurriedly turned around. When he saw me, astonishment flickered in his eyes, and his face filled with surprise.

She had indeed been following the group for some time. She had begun tailing them the moment they left White Yaksha’s shop. Not even Izayoi or Kasukabe Yo had noticed her, but Xiaoming had not been fooled.

In the distant past, ten suns appeared in the sky. The earth was scorched into a sea of fire… Then a man named Hou Yi emerged. He shot down nine of the suns in the sky, and only then did life return to the earth.

He had traveled to many places and carried out missions in many of them, but he had never regarded any place as home.

There were three main reasons for his return this time. First, of course, was to reclaim the parts of himself he had lost. Second was to meet and have a proper conversation with the consciousness of the world that had created him. As for the last reason, he had just accomplished it: seeing the parents who had once adopted him and their children.

“No wonder Boss Cheng was injured so badly by him. But why would he treat Boss Cheng with such brutality?” Gao Jie furrowed her delicate brows.

Wu Yue had never felt that the world had treated him kindly. Only now did he realize that he, too, had once been treated with tenderness.

Ye Jiujiu pursed her lips. When she saw the two of them enter the hospital building, she hurriedly pushed her wheelchair out through the hospital entrance. Beneath the shade of the trees not far away, a white van was waiting for her.
