Tiangroup Headquarters.
Su Changqing walked into Li Xinghe's office with a puzzled look on his face.
Li Xinghe squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at Su Changqing with a somewhat cold gaze, and said lightly: Go ahead and speak.
Speak about what?
Su Changqing was even more confused, and asked puzzlingly.
Zhang Ziliang stood to the side, his face pale. He slammed the table fiercely: Su Wenqian is dead, silenced!
What?
Su Changqing was stunned in place, falling into a daze. His whole body seemed to have aged significantly in an instant. After a long while, he staggered and sat down on the sofa.
My...my son...
He...
Su Changqing shook his head, his eyes full of hope looking towards Zhang Ziliang, as if grasping at the last straw: You...you're kidding me, right?
You must be kidding me. Although Xiaoqian is stubborn, his crime is not punishable by death...
Su Changqing seemed somewhat deranged, with the scars on his face twitching slightly.
Finally, under Zhang Ziliang's icy gaze, the last glimmer of hope disappeared. Su Changqing fell silent.
Head lowered, hands covering his face, his body shook silently.
After a long time, he finally raised his head, eyes bloodshot, looking at Zhang Ziliang with strong killing intent, and said word for word: Who killed Xiaoqian, Wang Ye?
If you dare stop me today, I'll kill you too!
As he spoke, Su Changqing suddenly stood up, his face hideously walked towards the door.
Zhang Ziliang's expression was calm: He was silenced. King Kong confessed that he was a person from the Buddhist faction! But when asked about your precious son, he was silenced!
You'd better explain this clearly first!
Who exactly was your son working for, and you, who are you working for!
Su Changqing's figure paused, incredulously turning around to look at Zhang Ziliang, a hint of shock in his eyes: How is that possible! Xiaoqian grew up by my side, I know him inside and out. This is a frame up!
As if struck by a thought, Su Changqing suddenly rushed in front of Zhang Ziliang, grabbed his collar, and fell completely into madness: I understand now, it's you!
You and Wang Ye wanted to kill my son, using this as an excuse!
Yes, that must be it. You want to plot against my Operations Department and get me removed from my position!
I'll have you pay with your life!
As he spoke, a strong glow emerged from Su Changqing's hands, clenched into fists. His fists were enveloped by a layer of black flames as he smashed them towards Zhang Ziliang's face.
Enough, still not humiliated enough?
There was a hint of anger on Li Xinghe's face. A faint wave of energy immobilized Su Changqing's body in place, unable to move even an inch.
Zhang Ziliang looked at Su Changqing expressionlessly, then calmly shifted his body away.
The energy wave disappeared, and Su Changqing's body swayed slightly. The flames on his hands vanished.
He looked back incredulously at Li Xinghe, his whole body radiating a sense of disappointment: Leader, even you don't believe me?
I fought for Tiangroup for a year and four months. From the founding of Tiangroup, I have always been at the forefront.
Including the countless scars on my body, which one did I get for myself!
Now, even I am doubted by you?
As he spoke, Su Changqing became increasingly agitated: Since the leader does not believe me, from today onwards, I step down from the position of Operations Department Minister. Punish me as you see fit!
Su Changqing closed his eyes in despair, no longer speaking.
His face was full of stubbornness.
Zhang Ziliang stood at a distance, frowning slightly at Su Changqing.
Finally...
Sigh.
There was deep fatigue on Li Xinghe's aged face. He gently sighed: I have wronged you. After all, you are the Minister of Operations, and a veteran of our Tiangroup. If we have really wronged you, it would chill your heart.
I believe you. Go on back.
Su Changqing silently opened his eyes, his straight back bent slightly at this moment: I understand...
As he spoke, he shot Zhang Ziliang an icy look, then silently left.
Walking out of Tiangroup Headquarters, the grief on Su Changqing's face disappeared, carefree. His gaze faintly held pondering.
Expose those trouble-making Buddhists, sacrifice an unstable chess piece...
From today onwards, he is the biggest voice in the entire Shangjing City.
Chang let out a long sigh, and wiped away the sweat on his forehead that appeared unknowingly. Su Changqing silently looked at Tiangroup's tall building once more, his face again showing unwillingness and grief, then turned and left.
In the office.
What do you think? Li Xinghe looked at Zhang Ziliang and asked.
Zhang Ziliang recalled all of Su Changqing's previous actions, expressions, demeanor, as well as the words he spoke, falling into contemplation.
After a long time...
It seems there is no problem.
After hesitating for a bit, Zhang Ziliang said softly: However...I still feel his emotions were a bit too intense, and he left too calmly, without even defending his son again.
Li Xinghe lightly tapped the table with his fingers: Regarding Su Changqing's matter, put it aside for now. After all, he is the Minister of Operations, and a veteran of our Tiangroup. If we have really wronged him, it would easily chill his heart.
But my principle is to wrongly kill, not to let go. If he really has a problem, the harm to Tiangroup and humankind would be too great.
Zhang Ziliang said coldly.
You may leave. Li Xinghe said somewhat wearily, closing his eyes.
Zhang Ziliang looked at Li Xinghe, shook his head helplessly, then turned and left.
On the other side.
Within the shanty town, all the ghoul slaves were tearing at each other, as if raising snakes. Along with one skeletal frame after another, the surviving ghouls all radiated a domineering aura.
Finally...
These powerful ghouls clashed again.
Are you sure you don't want to get rid of them while they're still weak?
Mao Yong'an looked curiously at Wang Ye and said.
Wang Ye shook his head slightly and said lightly: Haven't you noticed the Nether Realm seems to have grown stronger? Rather than waste time on these ghouls, we should hurry and find the source to seal it. Otherwise as the Nether Realm spreads, things will only get more troublesome.
Mao Yong'an lazily stretched: Alright, whatever you say goes. I'm just here to watch the show anyway. If not for that mysterious alley, there's no way I'd get involved in this mess.
If you continue to be so unhelpful, I really will consider having someone from Daocheng come retrieve you.
Or perhaps...hand you over to the Buddhists. I'm sure they'll be very happy.
Wang Ye glanced at Mao Yong'an expressionlessly.
Mao Yong'an shuddered: Rather than hand me over to those lunatics, I'd rather die.
As he spoke, he reluctantly took out a broken compass, observing it continuously.
After a long time...
Oh, something good!
His lazy state disappeared in an instant, excited like a wolf catching the scent of meat.
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
n] Top-tier player Zhou Yi died and was reborn into the body of a hopeless simp who shared his name. His first love callously dumped him for a rich heir, his childhood sweetheart saw him as an embarrassment, the ice-cold campus beauty looked down on him—every woman he ever loved treated him like a pathetic doormat. But later, his ex came crawling back in tears: "Yi, I was wrong. Please take me back." His childhood sweetheart became hopelessly devoted: "Yi, just one more glance from you is all I ask." The aloof campus belle blushed as she handed him a love letter: "Zhou Yi, I was blind before. Will you accept my feelings?" To all of them, Zhou Yi just smiled. "Sorry, too late. I’m done with love." Oh, and he also gained a system—every time he earned a woman’s affection, his looks improved and his bank account grew. Soon, he became the nation’s most eligible bachelor, with socialites and heiresses begging for his attention...
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
