Chapter 48: Are We Really Going on a Trip?

Mogadishu Airport.

"Are you serious? You're taking us on a trip?" Zhang Liang rubbed his eyes and kept checking the ticket in his hand, feeling as if he were dreaming.

"The ticket is right there in your hand. If you don't want to go, you can change your flight and head back to the base in Oman," Tong Wanxin shot him an exasperated glare. If it weren't for the fact that everyone had worked especially hard this month, would he have spent the event fund on something like this? Some people just don’t appreciate things…

"Why wouldn't I go? I've bled for the organization, I've done my country proud!" The real question now was whether or not to tell Ye Qiang about my identity, or if Ye Qiang could be trusted. If I had to choose, I would certainly put my faith in Ye Qiang.

The investors in the audience all stared wide-eyed and open-mouthed, eagerly hoping the master would shower them with a little sunshine and rain.

Wu Anfu returned to his room and realized it was already mid-July. If he packed for a few more days and set out at the end of July, he could first visit Yang Lin in Shandong and just have enough time to attend his mother's birthday celebration on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month in Jinan, Shandong. With the plan settled, he played with Su Ningyun for a while before going to bed early.

The girl glared at him, her cheeks flushed, and scolded him for his cheek. The way she wrinkled her nose made Sangguo feel as if he were caught in a dream.

"Chairman Hu, I'd like to request some time off." Liu Feiyang handed his car keys to Hu Xixi, looking a bit embarrassed.

"Not yet. What's wrong, Feng? Did something happen?" Hua Zi picked up on the change in Tang Feng's voice.

I’m suddenly serious now? Since when could I be serious? Damn it. Sangguo jumped up and told himself, let’s give it a try—if I can restrain myself, I’ll settle down for good.

Qin Jingyu paused, then heard Mu Yunfeng cry out softly in delight, hurrying forward, lifting her skirt and bowing.

"Zhang Manyu, I can hear you." Sangguo bantered without missing a beat. Heh, even if you’re using stolen call credits, it doesn’t cost me anything to answer. Let’s see if that guy feels the pinch.

The reason A Xiyan's answer shocked the masked man was because he was none other than A Kui, who had just come from Consort Shu's Phoenix Palace, and so knew exactly who A Xiyan was. Naturally, her response left him astounded.

When the four siblings completed their studies, they followed their master Xuanyuan Yu’s teachings: to punish evil and uphold justice, protect the people, slay demons, root out wickedness, destroy villains, oppose the demon realm, and defend the righteous path of the human world.

"My lips are already bitten and bleeding—how am I supposed to eat?" With a blink, tears started to fall, her reddened eyes as pitiful as a rabbit’s.

"Oh dear! Could something have happened to Dalong and my son-in-law? Why else haven’t they come home yet?" Aunt Cheng exclaimed with alarm as she stepped out of the kitchen.

Shuihe Village. The village office. Eighth Route Army Reinforcement Regiment Headquarters meeting room. Yu Genshan, the political commissar, the chief of staff, Huang Zhongde, Han Dagang, and Staff Officer Wu sat around the conference table in discussion.

"I was the one who killed Hua Jiaomei," Lu Wushuang answered calmly. "Father, I deserve to die. I can no longer be filial to you and Mother. Please take care of yourselves." Tears of regret fell from Lu Wushuang's eyes.

As the leader of an old and established faction, Yu Shanhuan's portrait was known throughout many groups, some of whom included the offspring of influential families who could recognize him. His words put everyone at ease, and so they had not confronted Tu Tian earlier.

"Don’t worry, I don’t want to kill her now. I've just thought of a much better way—to leave her with no escape, neither to heaven nor earth. Even if the true form of the Phoenix Spirit Bird appeared, it couldn’t stop me from uniting the celestial and demon realms." Sikong Yun burst into raucous laughter, his voice echoing through the air and sending flocks of birds scattering from the distant woods.

Seeing Old Master Lin’s swaggering demeanor, the other elders were left speechless. They couldn’t refute him, because he was right—Lin Feng truly was one of the Lin family.

Xia Ruoxi didn’t even glance at the files in the hands of the top official. She replied forcefully, "Thank you for your kind offer, but I’m afraid our company and your province won’t be able to cooperate." As soon as Murong Xue called for the car, she immediately instructed the others to load the luggage.
