- [WTNL Chapter 428](https://98novels.com/wtnl-chapter-428/): Yuying UniversityChapter 428: "I promise…" “Riiiiing—” The bell signaling the start of class rang out. The moment the sound reached his ears, Wen Jianyan instinctively held his breath. His fingers, hanging at his sides, trembled faintly from time to time, as if trying to suppress some impulsive urge. In his heart, he began a silent
- [WTNL Chapter 427](https://98novels.com/wtnl-chapter-427/): Thank you @Tran for the Kofi. Yuying UniversityChapter 427: "Who do you like more?" Upon hearing that, Wen Jianyan's pupils shrank slightly. He turned his head. To his right—where the seat was supposed to be empty—an overly familiar figure had appeared. It was Wu Zhu. He was resting his chin on one hand, staring at
- [AD CH110](https://98novels.com/ad-ch110/): Theoretically, Chen Jian was off duty today, yet he woke up right on time just before 7:00 AM. Outside, the sky wasn't even fully bright. Aside from Chen Erhu, who had just returned from patrolling the building, Sanbing and Lao Si were still fast asleep in the dorm. Lao Wu had gone home yesterday and
- [AD CH109](https://98novels.com/ad-ch109/): It took Chen Erhu quite a while to recover from his delayed shock. Walking toward the car, his limbs were stiff, his every movement radiating a forced, theatrical casualness. "Why don't you three ride your motorcycles back?" Chen Jian interjected, asking Sanbing. "You brought the G-Class!" Lao Si exclaimed. "Why would we ride motorcycles! We
- [AD CH108](https://98novels.com/ad-ch108/): Chen Erhu’s calm and affirmative answer caused a brief, abrupt pause in the room’s conversation. For a moment, it seemed no one knew what to say. Perhaps because everyone was standing right there with her, Sun Nana’s composure recovered slightly. She smoothed her hair, leaned against the table, and looked at her parents. Taking a
- [AD CH107](https://98novels.com/ad-ch107/): Several motorcycles roared through First Street. The New Year holiday hadn't yet concluded, and the roads were still blanketed in shredded red firecracker paper. The spring couplets and paper window cuttings on the storefronts flanking the street blazed a vibrant crimson. Many of the more elegant, boutique-style shops hadn't even reverted to their usual playlists,
- [AD CH106](https://98novels.com/ad-ch106/): After finishing their meal, Chen Jian headed back to the office with Shan Yu. He had sat through lunch with a head full of dripping hair; despite the indoor heating, the ground floor was vast and open, leaving his scalp feeling chilled the entire time. Yet by the time Shan Yu retrieved the blow-dryer for
- [WCBD CH121](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch121/): The gloomy weather over the weekend brought heavy snow on Monday. January 12, Monday morning. Siles stood by the window, quietly gazing at the snowy scenery outside. After a moment, his gaze fell, resting on the set of dolls on the windowsill. That drew his thoughts involuntarily to the deep-sea dreams he experienced last night.
- [DBMEP CH65](https://98novels.com/dbmep-ch65/): Chapter 65: Geothermal Well. After eating, Xiang Nanli began to feel drowsy. He crawled into his sleeping bag and felt the soft thermal blanket envelop him. He adjusted his sleeping posture and then spoke, "Xiao Qing, goodnight." "Goodnight." Xiang Nanli pulled up the zipper in front of his eyes, and the world around him plunged
- [AD CH105](https://98novels.com/ad-ch105/): Uh-oh. The city boy was mad. The city boy was about to throw a tantrum. Chen Jian trailed behind the city boy toward the elevator. "Store Manager Chen," Lao Wu stood in front of the stairs, one hand propped on the vacuum cleaner and the other on his hip, looking at him. "I need to
- [AD CH104](https://98novels.com/ad-ch104/): Early in the morning, Lu Yun arrived in town. Chen Jian initially thought he had come merely to pick up his dog, but a glance into the vehicle revealed his colleague as well as Old Ding from the town management office. He was here strictly for work. The Lantern Festival hadn’t even passed, yet the
- [AD CH103](https://98novels.com/ad-ch103/): "An idea?" Chen Jian looked around. "What kind of idea do you have? You can still have ideas in broad daylight like this?" "Hey," Shan Yu lowered his phone and looked at him. "This take is ruined now, isn't it?" "What are you doing?" Chen Jian pulled Shiwu back as the dog kept trying to
- [AD CH102](https://98novels.com/ad-ch102/): Chen Jian pushed himself up, hands braced beside Shan Yu’s head, his breath still ragged and uneven. Shan Yu turned his head and pressed a kiss to his wrist: "Get off." "Wait." Chen Jian hastily hitched up his trousers and leaned back. Just as he tried to tumble over into the passenger seat, his rear
- [AD CH101](https://98novels.com/ad-ch101/): "That beanie of yours..." President Liu walked ahead a short distance, then turned back to look at him. "Did Shan Yu crochet it?" "...Yes." Chen Jian reached up to touch the knit beanie on his head, suddenly feeling a slight twinge of guilt. Both President Liu and Professor Shan were wearing hats. President Liu wore
- [AD CH100](https://98novels.com/ad-ch100/): "Our previous collaboration on the bonfire festival between our guesthouses was quite successful," He Liang said. "It really contributed to driving tourism in town." "Mm," Chen Jian nodded. He Liang had already stood up to leave, but continued rambling on. "We can definitely keep up this kind of collaboration in the future," He Liang said.
- [AD CH99](https://98novels.com/ad-ch99/): Liu Wu's mother stepped out of the car, and Chen Jian continued with the greetings: "Happy New Year, Auntie." Hu Pan and Sun Nana came outside just then. The moment Liu Wu spotted Hu Pan, he bounded over to meet her. "Panpan!" Liu Wu called out. Unable to pull her into a hug, he flailed
- [AD CH98](https://98novels.com/ad-ch98/): Although the red envelopes given to the guests were only ten yuan each, the effect was remarkably good. Every guest who came downstairs expressed their gratitude, and the message board was completely filled with "Happy New Year" wishes. Today, two hardworking agritainment farmhouses in the village opened for business, which immediately relieved quite a bit
- [AD CH97](https://98novels.com/ad-ch97/): On the first day of the New Year, Chen Jian woke up on the cafe sofa. Sprawled around him in various states of disarray were all the male staff of Dayin excluding the boss—including his father. Hu Pan and Sun Nana were asleep in the small back room behind the front desk. Calling it "waking
- [AD CH96](https://98novels.com/ad-ch96/): Shan Yu genuinely didn't know how to wrap dumplings. His parents never made dumplings from scratch; growing up, his holiday memories of dumplings consisted almost entirely of store-bought frozen ones. They had tried making them themselves once. His dad rolled out petal-shaped wrappers, combined with his mom’s "fold-it-in-half" pinching technique, and the moment they hit
- [AD CH95](https://98novels.com/ad-ch95/): Even though Chen Jian felt that half the world was on the verge of finding out, and he certainly didn't look down on people with fewer brain folds, if Lao Wu ended up finding out, it would still leave a strange, indescribable taste in his mouth. —To think even HE knows! That exact feeling. Right
- [AD CH94](https://98novels.com/ad-ch94/): Shan Yu’s question carried an undeniably ambiguous undertone. Under normal circumstances, Chen Jian might not have registered it so keenly, but tonight was different. It was the dead of night, his very first time coming up to Shan Yu's quarters to shower—and Shan Yu had just stepped out of the bath himself, his hair damp
- [AD CH93](https://98novels.com/ad-ch93/): By now, the trunk was already popped open, and Sanbing and the others were actively hauling fireworks out. Chen Jian had no choice but to step out of the car, trailing behind Shan Yu. Under normal circumstances, Shan Yu would swiftly dodge scenes of messy physical labor, standing as far away as possible. Right now,
- [AD CH92](https://98novels.com/ad-ch92/): Chen Jian was caught off guard by Hu Pan's question, but quickly realized that these two calls might have come from readers of Zhou Lecheng's travel post, given the well-wishing nature of the calls. "What's going on?" he asked, already reaching for his phone. "This caller specifically said to thank Dayin for its gentleness and
- [AD CH90](https://98novels.com/ad-ch90/): Shan Yu sat in front of the terrarium, crocheting Chen Jian's scarf. Through the glass, he could see Erge tucked behind a piece of bark, half of his head poking out, resting by the edge of the water bowl as he stared back at him. After a little while, Erge laid his head flat on
- [AD CH91](https://98novels.com/ad-ch91/): Actually, Shan Yu wasn't the only one looking forward to the New Year; Chen Jian felt the exact same way. This was the first time in years that he could celebrate such a lively New Year, and he was doing it alongside his father. Standing before his mother's tombstone earlier, he hadn't even been able
- [AD CH89](https://98novels.com/ad-ch89/): It was the same little budget motel as that day. Yet when Chen Jian returned here just a few days later, seeing the motel and the tiny lottery shop again, his state of mind was completely different. His father had already packed his bags and was braving the freezing wind, waiting on the beat-up sofa
- [AD CH88](https://98novels.com/ad-ch88-1/): President He didn't stay too long on his return leg, spending most of his time chatting with Shan Yu. The team members he brought along had also grown quite familiar with everyone, so by noon, the whole crew was having a barbecue in the garden with the Dayin staff. Da Li came over twice midway
- [AD CH87](https://98novels.com/ad-ch87/): Chen Jian's father stood in front of the small motel, looking somewhat lost. Shan Yu didn't know what Chen Jian had just discussed with his dad, but judging by his father's current state, it couldn't have been anything catastrophic—probably just asking why he had moved here and why he hadn't told him. How could a
- [AD CH86](https://98novels.com/ad-ch86/): When the box was opened, the beanie wasn't immediately visible; it was wrapped in a layer of pink tissue paper, with a card resting on top. The formal packaging made Chen Jian slightly regret not tying a giant bow around Erge's terrarium. He picked up the card first. Written on it with a calligraphy brush
- [AD CH85](https://98novels.com/ad-ch85/): The moment he saw Shan Yu's tears, Chen Jian began to suspect that Yue Lang’s comment hadn’t been a joke after all. He had expected Shan Yu to be quite happy. After all, scrolling through his past Moments made it clear how much care he had poured into it—there were so many posts about that
- [AD CH84](https://98novels.com/ad-ch84/): Right before his eyes was Shan Yu’s face, half-hidden in the glare, its hazy contours dipped in molten gold. Beneath the skin, nerves pulsed in step with the beat of his heart. Whether it was the blasting heater or the afternoon sun that was too warm, Chen Jian felt his breath catching in his throat.
- [AD CH83](https://98novels.com/ad-ch83/): An hour is actually quite a long time. Shan Yu usually hid on the fourth floor of Dayin, watching the staff busy themselves down below; they could get a lot done in an hour. They could sweep the courtyard and the path out front, wipe down tables and chairs, run out to buy groceries, pop
- [AD CH82](https://98novels.com/ad-ch82/): Over there, Lu Yun was still speaking. At this point, he was probably talking about developing the area around Hongye Town as an integrated tourism zone. Every word was clear in Chen Jian's ears, but he immediately forgot the previous sentence as soon as he heard it. When the next sentence entered his ears, the
- [AD CH81](https://98novels.com/ad-ch81/): Chen Jian stared at Shan Yu on the screen for a long time before finally saying, "I can tell you're in a really good mood after going home." "Is that so?" Shan Yu's lips curled up in a smile. "You had a pretty pleasant dinner with Yue Lang tonight, too, didn't you?" Chen Jian pulled
- [AD CH79](https://98novels.com/ad-ch79/): Being able to wake up this early after actually sleeping well the night before was a rare occurrence. Shan Yu grabbed his phone to check the time; it wasn't even eight o'clock yet. Whether he had gotten enough sleep or not, once he was awake, it was very hard to fall back asleep. If he
- [AD CH80](https://98novels.com/ad-ch80/): His mom's check-up was fairly quick. By the time she finished, it wasn't even ten o'clock yet. There was still a while before the agreed-upon lunchtime with his uncle's family, but after resting in the hospital room for a bit, his mom grew restless. "Let's go to the company," his mom said. "Go drive that
- [AD CH78](https://98novels.com/ad-ch78/): Chen Jian secured the curtain to the doghouse, entered the cafe through the side door, sat down in a chair near the edge, and glanced toward the front desk. Sun Nana was on duty tonight, currently asleep in the recliner. "Save where we can. During peak season, one car isn't enough anyway, and we were
- [AD CH77](https://98novels.com/ad-ch77/): "Yes," his mom picked up her glass, swirling the shimmering liquid lightly. Looking into the glass, she sighed softly. "It's just that I didn't notice." Shan Yu rarely heard his mom sigh. In his mind, she had always been resolute and independent. "Actually, I also... didn't notice you were starting to get older," Shan Yu
- [AD CH76](https://98novels.com/ad-ch76/): [Chen Yu Luo Yan]: I forgot to remind you just now, your mom is still in the recovery period after all. If you're going to ask, don't be too blunt. Chen Jian typed out the sentence rapidly as he walked toward the kitchen. He didn't put his phone back into his pocket until he saw
- [AD CH75](https://98novels.com/ad-ch75/): The silence in the hospital room suddenly made his uncle and aunt a bit uncomfortable. His aunt quickly nudged Liu Wu. Understanding the assignment instantly, Liu Wu stepped forward, tugged on Shan Yu's arm, and changed the subject: "Ge, sit down and rest for a bit." "I've been sitting the whole trip," Shan Yu said.
- [AD CH74](https://98novels.com/ad-ch74/): [Chen Yu Luo Yan]: Do not buy that sack of rice and bring it back here! [Fa Shan Ke Chen]: I actually asked. This rice smells very fragrant. [Chen Yu Luo Yan]: You can buy rice right in the village!!!!!! You've never even gone into the kitchen to smell our rice, how do you know
- [AD CH73](https://98novels.com/ad-ch73/): When the elevator doors opened on the fourth floor, Shan Yu was still holding Chen Jian without letting go. "We're here." Chen Jian held his arm across the door, listening for any movement outside. These past two days, only two guest rooms on the fourth floor were occupied, and no one was in the dorms.
- [AD CH72](https://98novels.com/ad-ch72/): I'm not leaving.I'm not going back. Every time Shan Yu said things like this, Chen Jian felt incredibly secure. But following the brief surge of joy, he would also feel very... He truly loved hearing Shan Yu say these things, even though he knew full well that while this was Shan Yu's attitude, it wasn't
- [AD CH71](https://98novels.com/ad-ch71/): I want to fly higher, fly higher, dancing like the fierce wind, breaking free from the embrace... Wings stirring up a storm, a roar born in the heart... The life I want is more brilliant, the sky I want is a deeper blue... Back in school, Chen Jian had never felt anything for this song,
- [AD CH70](https://98novels.com/ad-ch70/): "I'll tell you all the details when we get back." Shan Yu turned around and smiled at him. "Tell me now," Chen Jian reached out and grabbed his arm. "If you aren't going to tell me now, why bring it up?" "The thought just suddenly popped into my head," Shan Yu said. "That's way too
- [AD CH69](https://98novels.com/ad-ch69/): This was the price. Under the guiding principle of "help out wherever we can at Dayin" and "if we can't hire anyone, just let them work first and fire them later if they can't handle it," these employees—who probably wouldn't be able to find work anywhere else—managed to stay at Dayin. Dayin gained a group
- [AD CH62](https://98novels.com/ad-ch62/): The door to Shan Yu's office was open, and from outside, one could see Yue Lang perched on the edge of the desk, propping himself up with one hand. Yao Yi sat in the office chair, with Shan Yu standing behind her. The three of them were staring at the computer screen together. Chen Jian
- [AD CH65](https://98novels.com/ad-ch65/): "I'll go back and beat them all away!" Hu Pan's voice practically exploded from the phone. "I'll fight them to the death! They really dared to come here!" "Give the phone to Sanbing, Panpan." Chen Jian stood at the entrance of the cafe, looking out the window as Lao Wu led Hu Pan's family toward
- [AD CH67](https://98novels.com/ad-ch67/): For the bonfire festival, they had prepared some fireworks—though calling them sparklers or firecrackers might be more accurate, as they didn't quite reach the scale of full fireworks. If Dayin had been in charge of preparing this, it definitely would have been grander. Still, these fireworks did the trick. Lined up along the riverbank, they
- [AD CH68](https://98novels.com/ad-ch68/): All morning, Chen Jian couldn't help but want to laugh every time he saw Lao Wu. Fortunately, Lao Wu was in charge of cleaning the courtyard today, constantly sweeping and wiping down tables and chairs outside. There were still a lot of guests today. Some tourists from neighboring areas who had only come for the
- [AD CH66](https://98novels.com/ad-ch66-1/): This question left Shan Yu somewhat stumped for an answer. It wasn't that there was no answer; it was just that to an outsider, this answer might... No, Chen Jian couldn't be considered an outsider. Not an outsider, not an outsider... Given Chen Jian's sensitivity to crossing boundaries, even when merely turning it over in
- [AD CH64](https://98novels.com/ad-ch64/): Chen Erhu’s fire safety training was thoroughly prepared. The notebook in his hand was densely packed with writing, proving he had taken his learning very seriously. What no one expected, however, was that this was only the first lesson. "Today, we covered the basics of fires—including definitions, classifications, hazards, and prevention measures." After getting through
- [AD CH63](https://98novels.com/ad-ch63/): "Domestic violence?" Chen Jian looked at Sun Nana, not entirely sure if he could believe it. Sun Nana's sorrow felt a bit too exaggerated. Combined with her outfit, makeup, and runway-ready posture, Chen Jian even harbored a fleeting suspicion that if domestic violence were truly involved, Sun Nana might very well be the perpetrator. But
- [AD CH61](https://98novels.com/ad-ch61/): "Boss Shan, you don't need to get involved in this," Sanbing reached out to block Shan Yu's path before turning back to the shop owner. "What's the meaning of you coming into our inn like this?" "I'm looking for someone! Where else would I look if not here?" the owner retorted. Which wasn't technically wrong.
- [AD CH60](https://98novels.com/ad-ch60/): He slept pretty well last night, very deeply. Although he woke up with his usual morning temper, by the time he was washing up, Chen Jian’s mood had completely shifted. Thinking about last night put him in such a good mood he almost swallowed a mouthful of toothpaste foam. After washing up, he stepped out
- [AD CH59](https://98novels.com/ad-ch59/): The dizziness hit fast, starting the exact moment Shan Yu closed the distance and Chen Jian's eyes failed to focus. As the point of contact on his lips slowly widened, the sensation gradually diffused outward. High and low frequencies buzzed simultaneously in his ears, like background music to his panic and excitement—chaotic and grand. Everywhere
- [AD CH58](https://98novels.com/ad-ch58/): Shan Yu couldn't speak immediately. It even took him a few seconds to figure out exactly what Chen Jian's words meant—an angle he had never thought of, nor ever considered. He looked at Chen Jian. His gaze then slowly fell on the fire pit behind him. The fire in the pit was burning even brighter
- [AD CH57](https://98novels.com/ad-ch57/): Shan Yu’s neck was very warm, especially when Chen Jian’s nose—turned icy by the cold wind—pressed against it; it even felt a little hot. He could feel the pulse beating on the side of Shan Yu’s neck, and the faint scent of seawater that diffused bit by bit with each throb. He felt panicked. A
- [AD CH56](https://98novels.com/ad-ch56/): The soundproofing on Tang Rui's car was nowhere near as good as Yao Yi's. Sounds from outside filtered in clearly—people complaining about failing their tests, people on the phone, cars pulling in, cars pulling out... Amid the cluttered noise, Chen Jian could still hear his own heartbeat and breathing with pinpoint accuracy. Even the air
- [AD CH55](https://98novels.com/ad-ch55/): Old Lü wasn't particularly friendly. Chen Jian could tell, though simply because he was a local from the village and familiar enough, Old Lü didn't arrange a freezing water-splashing festival for him like they had for Da Li. Chen Jian recognized all the people inside the shop; they were all owners of the barbecue stalls
- [AD CH54](https://98novels.com/ad-ch54/): Shan Yu didn't say anything, still leaning against the desk with his arms folded. The coffee mug in his hand obscured the lower half of his face, the rising steam veiling his eyes. After speaking those words, Chen Jian had no strength left to open his mouth again. "Chen Jian," Shan Yu lowered his gaze
- [AD CH53](https://98novels.com/ad-ch53/): The mountain night view was indeed breathtaking. For the first time, Chen Jian took this long to genuinely appreciate the scenery he had lived alongside for twenty years. His steps felt light. He wasn't sure if it was because of Shan Yu or the alcohol, but it felt as though he could ride the wind
- [AD CH52](https://98novels.com/ad-ch52/): The night was quite cold, but spirits in the garden remained high. Sporting her retro afro, Hu Pan led a group of guests dancing a retro disco around the fire barrel. Yao Yi had been taking photos, but once she felt she had enough, she was pulled into the dancing circle. Yue Lang held the
- [AD CH51](https://98novels.com/ad-ch51/): Old Zhang usually didn’t deliver fish to guesthouses or restaurants. He wasn't a fishmonger, and delivering was too much trouble. Chen Jian had no idea what Shan Yu had said to him, but either way, Old Zhang drove over himself that afternoon and delivered four huge fish. "They're alive?" Having rested up, Hu Pan was
- [DLRAS Chapter 53](https://98novels.com/dlras-chapter-53/): Chapter 53: My person doesn't need to hide in the shadows. The two of them didn't continue browsing the mall, taking the direct elevator back down to the underground parking lot. "Things haven't been very peaceful lately?" Chen Wengang asked. "You know how these reporters are, it's just the usual stuff." Huo Niansheng brushed it
- [AD CH37](https://98novels.com/ad-ch37/): Shan Yu didn't bring Chen Erhu to his office. That place was too formal, and given Chen Erhu's current situation, it held a far too distinct boundary between superior and subordinate. The cafe was quite suitable. After they sat down, the sunlight cast the swaying shadows of the garden's trees onto the window, while light
- [AD CH49](https://98novels.com/ad-ch49/): Hu Pan was originally supposed to be on duty today, but Chen Jian sent her off to rest. After everyone finished eating the sweet glutinous rice balls, they all dispersed. Hu Pan went to sleep, while Sanbing and Chen Erhu made a round inspecting the place before turning in as well. Once all the necessary
- [AD CH50](https://98novels.com/ad-ch50/): To be honest, the man looked like someone of high status, yet he carried an indescribable air of ruthlessness about him—the kind that could occasionally be felt on Shan Yu. Add to that how he treated Chen Erhu, who was greeting guests, as if he didn't exist, and the glance he shot toward Chen Jian
- [AD CH48](https://98novels.com/ad-ch48/): "What happened?" Hu Pan jogged over from the front desk bar. "Fell down," Sanbing said while chuckling. "Slid down in a big split like taking a slide." "You're still laughing!" Hu Pan glared at him, then looked at Chen Jian. "Are you hurt..." Before she could finish her sentence, she couldn't hold back a laugh
- [AD CH47](https://98novels.com/ad-ch47/): The moment he wrapped his arms around Chen Jian, their ears brushed gently against each other. In that tiny, almost imperceptible touch, all the quiet sounds around his ears vanished. He couldn't hear the flowing river, the blowing wind, or the low chirping of night insects. Everything—including the sound of Chen Jian's breathing—disappeared the moment
- [AD CH46](https://98novels.com/ad-ch46/): Over the past two days, Shan Yu hadn't been sleeping well. First, he couldn't sleep easily in an unfamiliar place; second, even though he had been avoiding Yue Lang and the others for several years, now that they were actually face to face, there was still so much to talk about. Just like in the
- [AD CH22](https://98novels.com/ad-ch22/): Although several bosses were on the third floor just now, the commotion downstairs had been considerable, making it unlikely they hadn't heard. Even if they hadn't, their people were all over the first floor, and a single text message would have filled them in completely. When such a thing happened on the grand opening day,

- [DLRAS Chapter 49](https://98novels.com/dlras-chapter-49/): Chapter 49: You should know how he treats you. On the way back to drive Chen Wengang home, Huo Niansheng suddenly asked, "If you had someone you especially hated, would you want to take revenge on them?" The question sounded undeniably familiar. Chen Wengang turned to look at him and asked slowly, "What kind of

On Wednesday, Qi Tongzhou had reached out to ask for Chen Wengang's time, wondering if he wanted to go see an art exhibition. It wasn't Mu Qing's solo exhibition, of course—that was still a long

When Amanda came in to announce a visitor, Huo Niansheng had also just received a call from Chen Wengang. His feet were still crossed and propped up on the desk. He glanced at the caller ID and answered, "Wengang, what's

He used the key to lock the front doors of the academic building securely, then pulled down the metal gate with a loud clatter. Huo Niansheng waited for him patiently behind him. Or rather, he guarded his prey like a cheetah
- [DLRAS Chapter 42](https://98novels.com/dlras-chapter-42/): Chapter 42: The rest of the day belongs to me. After Chen Wengang left, Qi Tongzhou wandered aimlessly around the campus alone. Feeling guilty like a thief, he peeked at his phone, then suddenly stopped in his tracks. What was he sneaking around for? Snapping a candid photo of a friend was a perfectly open
- [AD CH45](https://98novels.com/ad-ch45/): Shan Yu held the knife in one hand and pressed down on the back of Fang Xu's head with the other, his knee pinned onto Fang Xu's rear. Under the quilt, only Fang Xu's arms and legs could move, thrashing about desperately. Yet nothing could be seen—only the edge of the quilt rising and falling
- [AD CH43](https://98novels.com/ad-ch43/): He regretted it. He shouldn't have sat in the back.

After seeing them off, Ji Xun returned to the room to face Huo Ranyin, the curve at the corners of his lips unable to be suppressed any longer. "I think they all know." "Know what?"

It was rare to see such

- [HL CH284.1](https://98novels.com/hl-ch284-1/): Ji Xun woke from the pitch-black darkness. He felt as though he had been abruptly startled awake from a brief nap, his entire being muddled and dazed. He didn't feel much pain, but a strong sensation of numbness pervaded his body. Was it anesthesia or painkillers? He looked up at the ceiling. It was vaulted,
- [HL CH284.3](https://98novels.com/hl-ch284-3/): After counter-questioning three stories one by one, Yu Cisheng continued: "As for the diary... I admit, that matter was a worldly form of evil. That was a very shallow thing I did during my youth, before understanding more information and more of the world. It was an immature investment; I wanted to use that investment

- [HL CH283](https://98novels.com/hl-ch283/): Plunging straight into the water from the deck, the immense force of the impact left Ji Xun disoriented, completely unaware of his surroundings. No vision, no hearing. His body fell helplessly into the depths, dragged down by the heavy iron chains and the engine block. Even his consciousness, which should have existed independently—elevated above the

Yet that tranquil warmth lingered on Huo Ranyin’s fingertips for only a split second before Ji Xun was dragged out of the sea and hauled up onto the deck. Watching this scene unfold with his own eyes, the

His clothes were shredded, his entire body covered in wounds with raw, torn flesh. Rain mingled with fresh blood, trickling down his trembling frame in streamlets and threads. Had it not been for the subtle, strained
- [HL CH280](https://98novels.com/hl-ch80-2/): "Ha—" All the pain merged into half a muffled groan that was crushed and swallowed back down before it could even leave his throat. It was so faint that it was completely lost in the pitter-patter of the rain. Ji Xun's right arm had been shot and could not be raised; the moment his left
- [HL CH279](https://98novels.com/hl-ch279/): Ji Xun’s heart sank. Mr. Liu had figured it out! Still attempting a final effort, he laughed and said, "Stop joking. I wouldn't save the women down below, so why would I save a criminal who murdered his own companion forty years ago? Kill him if you want. My life might not be worth much,
- [WCBD CH102](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch102/): Mrs. Louisa Lampson had a son named Michael Lampson. Michael was thirteen years old this year. When he was ten, Mr. and Mrs. Lampson began discussing sending him to school, considering a middle school in the West District. At that time, it was merely under consideration, as they still needed to save up enough money
- [HL CH278](https://98novels.com/hl-ch278/): The wind howled loudly, intermingled with the sounds of the churning ocean waves, as well as the screams of women rising and falling within that surge. It felt eerily unnatural, like ghost light rolling up from an abyss, or floating specters entangled around dried trees in a graveyard—invisible, inescapable, circling your ears, crying out again
- [HL CH277](https://98novels.com/hl-ch277/): They spun around abruptly. Standing near the hallway kitchen was an unfamiliar masked guest—tall and slender, appearing over 185 cm tall. Of course, that wasn't a guest. That was the Ghost! The Ghost held a single match in his hand, an empty oil can resting by his feet. Just as the Ghost had forewarned, the

When the sound of Boss Wu’s loud shouting completely vanished under Mr. Liu’s threat, the corridor fell silent for quite some time.

- [SOP CH12: Making a Grand Entrance](https://98novels.com/sop-ch12/): Two days had passed since the Clepsydra resistance's sudden raid. Chrome-plated repair robots crawled up and down the blood arena, using mechanical tentacles to weld steel pillars and haul away debris.

That way, I could treat this conversation
- [HL CH274](https://98novels.com/hl-ch274/): “Uncle?” This was by no means a polite title; it could only mean... an actual blood relation. But how did Ji Xun know? “Come on in.” It wasn't just Huo Ranyin and Meng Fushan who were caught off guard; even Ben felt a sudden wave of shock and suspicion. Yet after that brief moment of
- [HL CH273](https://98novels.com/hl-ch273/): Ji Xun’s foot stopped just short of the curtains. The wind was howling outside, but the curtains were not blown entirely wide open because two panels were clipped together. This helped block the violent gusts to some degree, keeping this veil that concealed the truth right where it belonged. Ji Xun was in no hurry
- [HL CH272](https://98novels.com/hl-ch272/): A thunderous crack echoed. Lightning sliced through the sky first, followed by the belated rumble of thunder. At the sound of the muffled thunder, Ji Xun looked at Boss Wu and suddenly asked, “Whose descendant do you think we are?” Boss Wu was caught off guard, but almost immediately, a spark of fury seemed to
- [HL CH271](https://98novels.com/hl-ch271/): “Knock—knock-knock—knock-knock-knock.” “Knock-knock—knock—knock-knock-knock.” When the eerie knocking sound reached Boss Wu lying in bed with its unique rhythm, Boss Wu thought he was dreaming. It truly felt like sleep paralysis—that twilight zone between waking and dreaming. His eyes were closed, but he could sense a spot of dim, yellow light in the pitch-black distance; that was
- [HL CH270](https://98novels.com/hl-ch270/): The three exchanged the logs in their hands. After finishing a full round of reading, all fell into silence. Outside the window, the wind and rain raged on as before. Yet the incandescent light overhead—which should have been steady—began to flicker unpredictably and turn dim, whether because of the storm outside or the long, harrowing
- [HL CH269](https://98novels.com/hl-ch269/): Ji Xun rapidly read through all the tucked-in contents inside the notebook. In just a minute or two—a period in which a normal person couldn't even finish reading a single entry—his brain had already frozen everything he saw into frame after frame of images, storing them in his memory. The characters within those images connected
- [HL CH268](https://98novels.com/hl-ch268/): Seeing a beauty smile comes with a price. The price was Ji Xun wearing gloves, sitting cross-legged in front of the trash can in the Chinese restaurant, and beginning to sort through the garbage. The trash can had indeed already been searched by Huo Ranyin; many items inside had been pulled out and categorized, leaving
- [HL CH267](https://98novels.com/hl-ch267/): Time ticked away second by second. The three of them waited for ten minutes, but there was still no movement upstairs. Just to be safe, they waited an extra five minutes, yet still, nothing happened. Fifteen minutes had passed in total. If there really were a ghost on this ship, and if that ghost had
- [HL CH266](https://98novels.com/hl-ch266/): “I think Huo Ranyin makes sense,” Ji Xun expressed his position. Is what I said any different from what Huo Ranyin said? Meng Fushan glanced at Ji Xun. Since the three of them had reached a consensus, they began preparing for their upcoming actions. There was no rush to fight; there were still plenty of

"The prizes here are exorbitant and

On a corner wall, a damaged surveillance camera—its lens cracked into a spiderweb pattern—continued to stare down the hallway. Yet, it was strange, exceedingly strange. This narrow corridor led toward the spiraling central staircase at the
- [HL CH264](https://98novels.com/hl-ch264/): "Meng Fushan—" Ji Xun took a step forward. "You stand still, too," Meng Fushan said coldly. "I won't shoot at you, but I have a knife in my hand." "..." "Ji Xun, use your brain. What, the moment you see your new friend, your brain turns into an endless ocean?" Meng Fushan narrowed his eyes,
- [HL CH263](https://98novels.com/hl-ch263/): The atmosphere in the room was somewhat strange. Ji Xun wanted to refute what Huo Ranyin had just said, but felt it didn't seem to be the main point right now. He rubbed his temples and negotiated with the two who were still locked in combat: "In short, can you guys stop first?" No one
- [HL CH262](https://98novels.com/hl-ch262/): "What's the situation now?" It was a tiny space—measuring less than six square meters in total. A single bed pushed against the wall, a desk running parallel to the bed against the opposite wall, and a sink standing upright at the head of the bed filled the cramped room to capacity. Naturally, the room had

Once the people present finally grasped what Mr. Liu had actually said, the ponytail-wearing boss—a man with a distinctly artistic flair—suddenly took two strides forward. He let out a scoff and said, "Hey, that’s enough. Even jokes have their limits. What do you mean, 'should we just kill all
- [HL CH256](https://98novels.com/hl-ch256/): In the lounge on Floor 3.5, Huo Ranyin's ears twitched slightly. He glanced around his surroundings; inside the lounge, there were only himself, Boss Radish, and Short Boss. The other four bosses were not here. And the difference between them and those other four bosses was whether they had stayed in Boss Lin's room together
- [HL CH257](https://98novels.com/hl-ch257/): Tap. Tap. Tap. Soft rhythmic tapping echoed through the lounge. Sitting in the middle of the room, Huo Ranyin tapped his fingertips against the table. In this idle waiting period, even the faintest repetitive sound grated on the nerves like cicadas on a summer afternoon, stoking unprovoked restlessness. Just as the three grew thoroughly impatient,

- [HL CH260](https://98novels.com/hl-ch260/): Trash was scattered all across the floor. It was only then that everyone realized: while they were still looking—some nervously, some curiously—at the instant noodle bowls and the poisoned Boss Wu, the silver-masked man, Boss Zhou, had quietly put on gloves and rummaged through all the trash in the trash can. The retrieved trash hadn't
- [HL CH259](https://98novels.com/hl-ch259/): The sudden turn of events hit everyone's minds on the scene like a bolt of invisible, chained lightning. The first to react was Meng Fushan. He stepped toward the collapsed Boss Jiang, intending to check on his condition. But before he could reach him, a hand firmly clamped around his arm. He turned his head
- [WCBD CH99](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch99/): Siles conversed with Dominic for a considerably long period of time regarding his experiences in the Ashless Lands, the truth behind the scenes of the Greyson incident, and those followers of the Old Gods in the Ashless Lands. Dominic listened in silence, coming to sudden realizations every now and then, until everything finally dissolved into
- [HL CH255](https://98novels.com/hl-ch255/): "You..." Mr. Liu said. He was nervous. The Silver Mask's hands came together, holding the mask he had just removed. Will I be recognized? Will this rouse Mr. Liu's suspicions? If it does... Huo Ranyin's gaze stopped wandering and locked firmly onto Mr. Liu’s aging face. One of the old man's inorganic, glass-like pupils stared
- [HL CH254](https://98novels.com/hl-ch254/): All the bosses followed Mr. Liu upstairs. Afterwards, the ten bodyguards split into two groups. Five of them—including Mr. Liu's two personal bodyguards—went up together, while the remaining five stayed downstairs in the central hall to guard the rest of the captives. Meng Fushan naturally stayed among the crowd. Leaning against the staircase railing, he
- [HL CH253](https://98novels.com/hl-ch253/): Ji Xun sighed at the endless expanse of the ocean for a good while before starting to think of a solution. Problems were bound to occur; finding ways to solve them was the absolute top priority to push things forward. As for why he was so eager to get up there: there was something wrong
- [WCBD CH98](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch98/): From this letter, written in a strictly businesslike tone, Siles learned that Professor Calverley had passed away due to illness at three o'clock in the morning on November 7th—yesterday morning. Professor Calverley’s health had never been particularly good to begin with. With Lamifa City’s prolonged rainy season and bitter winter this year, his physical condition

- [HL CH251](https://98novels.com/hl-ch251/): "Saying 'the killer is right among us' is far too much of an evasion of the critical issues, isn't it?"

At this time, every person's statement carried a weight distinctly different from normal times.
- [HL CH250](https://98novels.com/hl-ch250/): When shock exceeds a certain threshold, the brain is unable to react and the body is unable to move for at least a good ten-odd seconds, leaving only the sight seen by both eyes long and stubbornly frozen upon the retina. When the image on the retina is finally understood by the brain, terror is
- [HL CH249](https://98novels.com/hl-ch249/): The room surfaced once more in the darkness. Amidst the surging pitch-black, there was only a small desk lamp on the tabletop, radiating an orange glow akin to a setting sun. The dark shadow bore down heavily onto the edge of the desk once more. It unlocked and opened the drawer, pulled out the record
- [WCBD CH94](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch94/): They still moved in groups of three to five, swaggering inside with a thoroughly boisterous, free-spirited air. That aura was actually quite different from what one usually saw in explorers throughout the Ashless Lands. However, considering they were explorers hired by the Lamifa Chamber of Commerce, Siles wasn't particularly surprised by their demeanor. He cast
- [WCBD CH96](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch96/): "Where should the story begin?" On the night of Monday, November 2nd, aboard the Light of First Snow train heading from Biedel to Maltz, the group still consisted of the same four people: Siles, Chendo, Chester, and Alva. They sat there, listening to Siles analyze the full sequence of events behind the incident. They had
- [WCBD CH95](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch95/): In truth, the kiss lasted for only a brief moment. Chendo barely brushed his lips against Siles's, much like a small animal making sure its master was still alive. Then, he held Siles in a tight, desperate embrace. He fumbled until he found Siles's hand, gripping it tightly, their fingers tightly intertwined. Siles patted Chendo's
- [SOP CH2: Playing with Fire](https://98novels.com/sop-ch2/): Chapter 2: Playing with Fire 2026—a year that held a grimly distinct significance for the Chrono-Entropy Corporation. After monopolizing time-jump technology, the Corporation routinely exiled countless dissidents, political obstacles, and citizens deemed useless into the merciless depths of past eras. Some had their heads torn off by rampant Carcharodontosaurus in the brutal Cretaceous period; some

In the dream, he was climbing a massive, vertical staircase. The stone steps extended into a void, flanked by tens of thousands of floating shards of ice. Glinting across the frozen surfaces were kaleidoscopic reflections—countless fragments of time, overlapping and intersecting
- [WCBD CH92](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch92/): After Siles closed his eyes, Chendo quickly caught and supported his frame. Simultaneously, Chendo shot a dark, piercing glare toward Mary, making a sharp downward gesture with his hand: Close your eyes. Mary wasn't caught off guard by this. Perfectly matching the immense strength of the explorer Chendo Praia was his eccentric, arrogant temperament and
- [WCBD CH90](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch90/): Siles had originally thought this was merely an ordinary check. Right now, Chendo—no matter what their relationship currently was—was at least his companion on this journey. Siles certainly would not sit by and watch him turn into a statue due to a sudden attack. Besides, that attack had originally been aimed at Siles. Chendo had

- [WCBD CH84](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch84/): The flea market was even more massive than Siles had imagined. Rather than resembling the vaulted arcades of the October Market in Lamifa City, this place felt more like a low-slung bazaar patched together from one cloth stall to the next. The hawking and shouting of the peddlers gave the entire area a bustling, noisy,

Dreams could perhaps be contagious; he didn't hold a deep memory of that gentle older brother's voice from that day, and he rarely thought of anything related to it during normal times. After all, so many things had happened that day; aside from the scenes deeply etched in

Of course, the "Main Control AI of Donghuang Heavy Industry" sounded impressive, but it was far from the answer he had imagined. It was, however, much more plausible than it being Alpha. Xiang Nanli could not

Xiang Nanli grabbed onto Xiu by instinct. He didn't know what he had grabbed—likely the neck—and, unfortunately, pulled off a necklace. A human body was truly too fragile; it couldn't withstand

However, we don't have any definitive evidence after all. Right now, we must first address what is about to happen here." Jon peered closely at Siles for a moment, then smiled. "Of course, Professor Noel,"

After thinking for a moment, he said, "The train station in Maltz connects to Galsworthy in the Ashless Land.

- [WCBD CH68](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch68/): House of Hales. He noticed the name of this relay station with some surprise. Not long ago, while observing that map that seemed to come from the explorer Quinto Praia, he had noticed that in the central-southeastern part of the Ashless Land, there was such a relay station. But he had not expected that it
- [WCBD CH70](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch70/): Siles’s matter stirred a wave of righteous indignation among his companions. Angela was especially outspoken, saying, “I’ll go look into it and see whether this elder has any hidden secrets.” Siles was grateful for their support, but still asked them not to act rashly. After all, the other party was a powerful, senior Revelator, so
- [WCBD CH64](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch64/): “Good morning, Gren,” Siles greeted him. Grenfield raised a hand without much energy. By his side was the signed novel by Miss Carmin that Siles had brought him. Ever since he got it, he had kept it close at hand and would often look at it with delight. Because of that, Grenfield had been in
- [WCBD CH60](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch60/): "The Non-existent City." The Paperboy pondered for a moment and asked, "What is that?"

- [WCBD CH59](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch59/): After the club activity ended, the students bid farewell to Siles one by one. The theme of this club activity had been the Ashless Lands.

- [WCBD CH44](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch44/): As they were talking, the several Revelators who were searching for clues in the room came out. The leading Revelator held a small glass bottle in his hand. At the bottom of the glass bottle was a thin layer of light blue solution. Clearly, this was an empty potion bottle. Behind him, another Revelator was

Dorothea appeared much more relaxed. After a quick glance,
- [WCBD CH48](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch48/): When Siles left the church, it was nearing evening. The setting sun hung unsteadily in a corner of the sky, its dim yellow light making the whole world seem exceptionally desolate. The cool evening breeze of autumn brushed against Siles's cheeks. He saw some fallen leaves on the street being swept up by the wind,
- [WCBD CH46](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch46/): Two weeks ago, Siles and his companions followed Carol and the Revelators of the Second Corridor to the West City to investigate Anselm Norrison's theft of museum artifacts. At first, the incident seemed entirely unremarkable, appearing to be nothing more than the desperate act of an old man trying to pay for his granddaughter's medical
- [WCBD CH5](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch5/): Carol's single statement sparked countless associations in Siles's mind. He didn't rush to ask questions, only gazing at Carol while pondering the definition of Revelator in his heart, waiting for Carol to provide more information. However, Miss Clayton didn't have his patience. Upon hearing Carol's words, she immediately blurted out a question: "Reenactment?!" "Exactly, Miss
- [WCBD CH6](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch6/): There were three rooms on the second floor of 13 Milford Street. Siles rented the easternmost room. His memories contained little information about his second-floor neighbors. He only knew that a man in his thirties lived in the western room, while the middle room housed a young couple who left early and returned late, rarely
- [WCBD CH7](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch7/): Siles carefully examined the specific content of this manuscript, discerning relevant information from the scrawled, mad, and fearful handwriting. Then he realized this seemed to be reading notes. Of course, these reading notes weren't so formal, with no excerpts or reflections. It was more like Professor Cabel had casually written down some thoughts while reading.
- [WCBD CH2](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch2/): In the dim, shabby, dust-filled antique bookstore, a bearded middle-aged man sat lazily behind the counter, wearing a slightly worn suit and glasses, looking at a book with yellowed pages.

However, he was indeed a strict yet kind mentor. His amber pupils always
- [WCBD CH4](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch4/): Siles Noel hitched a ride. The lady introduced herself as Angela Clayton, so Siles addressed her as Miss Clayton. Miss Clayton came from an extraordinary background, though she didn't reveal the details of her family. She had come here through a friend's introduction, but she was also vague about her friend's identity, never explaining clearly.
- [WCBD CH13](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch13/): "Fencing stolen goods?!" Mrs. Fenn exclaimed in shock. As Siles had suspected, Mrs. Fenn had no idea that the Ernestine Tavern served this purpose. She probably thought it was just a gathering place for underground gangs. After Siles explained, Mrs. Fenn suddenly understood. She muttered anxiously in a low voice, "No wonder... no wonder..." "What
- [WCBD CH16](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch16/): In the afternoon, Bertram's lawyer arrived at 13 Milford Street and drafted an agreement, which Bertram and Siles each signed. The content of this profit transfer agreement was more specific and clear. This profit right was originally given to Bertram by other merchants and was now transferred by Bertram to Siles. Siles noticed the name
- [WCBD CH17](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch17/): Siles listened to the voice in his mind with shock and uncertainty. It was a real person's voice. The speaker seemed like a youth because the voice was young and light enough.

- [WCBD CH8](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch8/): Grenfield was still lazily reading a book behind the counter. Full beard, worn suit, pince-nez glasses. The air itself seemed to float with faint dust. But Siles didn't dare underestimate him. If the space behind the door at the History Society was personally set up by the vice president, then who had set up this
- [WCBD CH9](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch9/): As Grenfield said, Ms. Antonia Carmin was a renowned contemporary detective novelist. The book he gave Siles was Antonia Carmin's most famous work, titled "Truth That Flows with the Clock Hands." For Siles, who had once been influenced by Earth's internet age culture, the solution to this work didn't seem so puzzling. But for readers
- [WCBD CH10](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch10/): The merchant Lanmere. Siles hadn't expected to encounter this name here. This was a character card from the tabletop RPG game he had been playing before his death. The player using this character card at the time was one of Siles's friends. When they were playing the game, Siles's friend had broken out of the
- [WCBD CH11](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch11/): Carol Houseman's pocket was like a treasure trove. At the last gathering, he'd pulled a knowledge box from his pocket. This time, it was a small leaf. ...A leaf?

- [WCBD CH12](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch12/): When Siles Noel walked out of the History Society, it was already past four in the afternoon.

- [WCBD CH18](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch18/): Anyone seeing such a painter standing at the edge of the square would naturally assume he was sketching the scene. Siles had thought the same.

- [WCBD CH20](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch20/): It was a strange piece of paper. Slightly thick, like cardstock. The strip-shaped paper had markings like a ruler, with several scales ranging from 0 to 10. "What is this?" Angela turned it over and examined it. "A measuring ruler?" "This is a ritual compatibility gauge." Carol explained. "The specific principle is difficult to explain—it's
- [WCBD CH21](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch21/): Alfonso's attire was much more normal this time. He wore a set of brown casual clothes suitable for movement and was absent-mindedly heading downstairs when he nearly bumped into Siles. Only then did he snap out of it, letting out a startled cry and repeatedly asking if Siles was alright. Siles shook his head, his
- [WCBD CH25](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch25/): Siles's gaze fell on this bookshelf. The bookshelf had a total of seven rows and four columns, and was not fully filled. The left side near the door was emptier and held some exquisite ornaments; the right side near the window was completely filled with books. Siles's gaze swept over the books generally, but finally
- [WCBD CH26](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch26/): The School of Literature and History assigned two apprentices to Siles. In the letter Siles received yesterday, he had already seen the names of the two apprentices: Jules Hans and Dorothea Grant. Judging solely by their names, they were a male and a female.

Herman looked angrily at the handsome man on the
- [WCBD CH32](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch32/): Siles calmly sat down opposite the two merchants. The restaurant waiter brought them drinks and snacks, and Siles thanked him politely and coolly.

- [WCBD CH33](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch33/): "The first possibility is that things aren't as serious as we imagine, nor do they involve extraordinary powers like Revelators, the Blessed Ones, or the followers of the Old Gods. "Perhaps there are simply some issues with his fiancée, or his parents heard that he actually arranged to meet her before the engagement, and in
- [WCBD CH35](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch35/): There are many, many lunatics in this era. Siles couldn't refute this statement. The underlying tone of the Duchy of Konst might be orderly, but that was only true here. Outside the duchy, the Ashless Land was filled with both opportunities and risks, and the Duchy of Kansas was what Kellogg had described as "chaotic."
- [WCBD CH30](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch30/): Letter? Siles was momentarily surprised, not understanding who else would be writing to him. He quickened his pace and took the letter from Lorenzo's hand. Seeing that the return address on the envelope was the Central Cathedral of the Church of the Past, he immediately formed a guess. Lorenzo looked at him with confusion, specifically
- [WCBD CH23](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch23/): Siles put all these troublesome matters aside for the time being. He chatted with Lorenzo for a few sentences, then returned to his room to tidy up his closet and small study.

You're certainly early." "Good afternoon." Brewer seemed to want to say something, but Siles's cold, expressionless face, coupled with his status as a university professor, made him a little apprehensive. However, it
- [WCBD CH28](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch28/): “I thought all of this would be more… complex,” Siles said. “Your previous attitude made me feel that this matter wasn’t so simple. But we just—” Grenfield said, “Just handed over the clues ordinarily and then left, and that makes you feel disappointed?” Siles shook his head. “I just find it strange.” They had returned

- [WCBD CH34](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch34/): Siles asked Anthony about the minor conflict that had just occurred. Anthony, who had originally calmed down, instantly became furious.

- [DP CH132](https://98novels.com/dp-ch132/): Chi Qing was not good at comforting people. He was usually quite inept with his words, and at this moment, he was even more at a loss for what to say. If this had been Ji Mingrui or anyone else, he wouldn't have even considered whether there would be any issue with his upcoming statement.
- [DP CH131](https://98novels.com/dp-ch131/): Chi Qing stood in the long corridor, with the elevator that had been involved in the accident right behind him and the room number 1301 directly in front of him. The peephole on the door stared quietly down the corridor. The pitch-black peephole resembled a pair of icy eyes, watching them. After clarifying the limited
- [WCBD CH37](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch37/): "She?" Siles froze slightly, almost instinctively associating this with Brewer's fiancée. Was it his fiancée who killed him? Carol rubbed his finger where he had previously worn the crown ring and said, "Your fiancée?" "Yes... her," Brewer said hoarsely. "I.. loved her. She loved me too. So, she killed me." Siles listened in silence. Based

- [DP CH66](https://98novels.com/dp-ch66/): Yin Wanru was a suspect, but merely a suspect. Without conclusive evidence, they had no reason to detain her. In another interrogation room, the manager had clearly come prepared. "You can't detain us like this. We've said everything we need to say. You have no evidence—" "We don't have evidence for Zhang Feng's matter," the
- [HL CH185](https://98novels.com/hl-ch185/): The narrative shared by Lan Lan, originating from Hu Kun, was impossible to ignore. However, with the investigation into Fu Baoxin and Fu Baoling’s case within the department finally yielding its first breakthrough, they couldn't afford to abandon that lead either. After a few casual exchanges among the occupants of the car, plans and arrangements
- [HL CH184](https://98novels.com/hl-ch184/): The story opened upon a dim, misty sea... No one knew how long they had been drifting on the ocean. The perimeter was permanently choked with a thick, heavy fog. They occupied a small sampan, and the vessel simply bore them forward, relentlessly forward... yet there was absolutely nothing ahead. No matter how long they
- [HL CH183](https://98novels.com/hl-ch183/): The envelope was made of manila paper—plain, utterly ordinary, and highly standardized. It was the sort of nondescript item one could pick up at any post office without a second thought. Yet, what instantly arrested everyone’s attention was a singular detail— The envelope was bulging. There was something substantial packed inside. What exactly did it
- [HL CH182](https://98novels.com/hl-ch182/): Taking into account her advanced age, the police maintained surveillance until the following morning before taking her into custody. None of her children woke up as early as the old lady. The daughter-in-law, coming downstairs in a daze to get a drink of water, caught sight of the police cruiser, let out a shriek, and
- [HL CH181](https://98novels.com/hl-ch181/): "Is it worth it?" A long silence followed the end of Ji Xun's speech before the vice captain finally broke it, his expression thoroughly grim. "The victim suddenly became the perpetrator, only to be brought to justice... Whether she resigned or reported it to us, why did she have to take it to this point!"
- [DP CH63](https://98novels.com/dp-ch63/): Ji Mingrui wrote down the first line: "You two were out wandering around all day, and you even went to a psychology clinic." "To give him an opportunity to make his move," Xie Lin answered. "He'd been tailing you since morning?" "Most likely. We spotted his car." Ji Mingrui turned to Chi Qing: "When he
- [DP CH64](https://98novels.com/dp-ch64/): Xie Lin said this standing very close to him, his eyes holding something warm and unreadable, like a pool of ambiguous water -- though he himself was likely entirely unaware of the effect. It was simply the unfortunate consequence of being born with far too much going for him. After a moment, Chi Qing helped
- [DP CH65](https://98novels.com/dp-ch65/): Chi Qing pulled on a jacket, and before leaving, carefully drew a pair of black gloves from the row hanging by the entryway and put them on. Then he supported Xie Lin the whole way from the elevator to the entrance of the residential complex. While waiting for the car, he noticed the two of
- [DP CH62](https://98novels.com/dp-ch62/): As the silhouette landed, Chi Qing flicked his wrist, sending the umbrella tip straight at him. The silhouette instantly rolled to the side, the umbrella tip grazing his cheek. Chi Qing's fighting skills were inferior, but the silhouette quickly realized this person's night vision was far better than his own. The pitch-black elevator car didn't
- [DP CH61](https://98novels.com/dp-ch61/): Xie Lin got into the car, inserted the key, and rested a hand on the steering wheel, asking, "Have you thought this through?" Chi Qing didn't answer. "Stop messing around," Xie Lin said with a sigh. "It's only just hit six o'clock. If you get out and head back, you can still catch up on
- [DP CH60](https://98novels.com/dp-ch60/): "We checked the license plate. It’s forged; we couldn't trace the owner. The vehicle model is also very old, looking like an imported car. In short, there hasn’t been a sales record of this model in recent years..." After returning, Chi Qing had just taken a shower when Ji Mingrui called to update him and
- [DP CH59](https://98novels.com/dp-ch59/): The short man lived in a run-down old neighborhood. Xie Lin spent quite a while finding a parking spot in the complex before parking the car and sending him upstairs. The building was old. The exterior had been repainted, but the stairwell inside still looked like unfinished rough concrete. It had rained the previous day,
- [DP CH58](https://98novels.com/dp-ch58/): The identity of a "paparazzo" wasn't hard to guess. Besides, Chi Qing was someone who had halfway stepped into the entertainment industry. His understanding of paparazzi was deeper than the average person's, and he knew their working models—though his knowledge was naturally limited to just that. An eighteenth-tier actor who specialized in playing villains wouldn't
- [DP CH57](https://98novels.com/dp-ch57/): The evidence bag lay quietly in Xie Lin’s hand, filled with tiny black fragments. The SD card was probably lost. There had been so many pedestrians on the street, not to mention all the passing vehicles. Any random car could have run over it, and then there would be no telling where the SD card
- [DP CH56](https://98novels.com/dp-ch56/): “The attendance rate for your row was that low?” After the movie ended, Ji Mingrui turned around and saw that all the seats, which had shown as fully booked when they bought the tickets, were empty. Especially the seats right next to Xie Lin and Chi Qing—they were all vacant. Chi Qing, having just woken
- [HL CH180](https://98novels.com/hl-ch180/): In the office, many of the Qin City investigators turned their bright, focused eyes toward the Weibo clues projected on the big screen. But no matter how they looked at it — from the first screenshot to the last — their eyes eventually went blurry, and they still couldn’t spot what was wrong. So everyone
- [HL CH179](https://98novels.com/hl-ch179/): The scene that followed was chaotic, but that had little to do with Ji Xun. The moment he saw the blade embedded in Luo Sui’s neck, he felt a strong wave of dizziness surge up into his mind. After struggling through the blackness that kept creeping in, Ji Xun realized he was already in the
- [HL CH178](https://98novels.com/hl-ch178/): Probably every city has many neighborhoods like this. Chaotic, disorderly, with pots and pans left out in the open, street vendors crossing the walkways, clotheslines strung between buildings and trees — adults’ clothes, children’s quilts, like flags of different sizes fluttering in the air. That is during the day. At night, those clothes that haven’t
- [HL CH177](https://98novels.com/hl-ch177/): The man was pinned down, but his phone was not. In the instant he was thrown to the ground, he hurled the phone, which he had been gripping tightly, forward and tossed it straight into the storm drain! “Damn it, you little bastard!” The deputy captain who came up behind them immediately remembered the nightmare
- [HL CH176](https://98novels.com/hl-ch176/): This trip to Old Hu’s villa was hugely important. First, they had found the likely crime scene where Old Hu may have died. The forensic team had already come from the police bureau, hoping to recover any remaining evidence at the scene. Second, from Granny Mei they had learned about the “woodworking place.” Combining Hu
- [DP CH55](https://98novels.com/dp-ch55/): After everyone arrived, they sat down and ordered food. Xie Lin glanced at Chi Qing’s hand under the table and lowered his voice to remind him, “There aren’t many people around now.” “...” Chi Qing said expressionlessly, “There are waiters.” The private room was separated from the main dining area by some distance. Waiters carrying
- [DP CH54](https://98novels.com/dp-ch54/): It was raining on Jiang Yu’s birthday. Southern weather was always fickle, and that made Chi Qing’s mood feel a little better for once before going out. At the shoe cabinet by the entrance, he carefully picked out an umbrella — even though the whole row looked basically the same: all transparent umbrellas with silver
- [DP CH53](https://98novels.com/dp-ch53/): Chi Qing fell asleep after saying that. Because he had been fully focused on falling asleep, he didn’t know that where he couldn’t see, the expression in Xie Lin’s eyes was different from usual. Those eyes, which were often full of laughter, lost that smile when it faded, and even the upward curve at the
- [DP CH52](https://98novels.com/dp-ch52/): The clock hand slowly turned, soon sweeping through a little more than half a circle, and the sky outside gradually darkened. Chi Qing lay with his eyes closed on the bed until deep into the night. Just as he was on the verge of falling asleep, the household downstairs with the inheritance dispute brought up
- [DP CH50](https://98novels.com/dp-ch50/): It was getting late. After Chi Qing got back, he was told he could head home and rest first, and he didn’t stand on ceremony. He turned and left immediately. Ji Mingrui grabbed his car keys and called after him, “Wait, I’m heading back too. I’ll give you a ride.” Ji Mingrui dropped Chi Qing
- [DP CH49](https://98novels.com/dp-ch49/): They were sitting in the break room because the moment they appeared in front of Zhou, his whole mental state would collapse instantly. His answers would become a mess, he’d start rambling, and in the end Zhou Zhiyi made a request: “Can you get them to leave?” After he was brought into the interrogation room,
- [DP CH48](https://98novels.com/dp-ch48/): Chi Qing actually couldn’t make out what the person in front of him looked like. It was too dark. He could only see the other man’s eyes and the vague outline of his face. The reason he was able to call out the man’s name accurately was that, just then, he suddenly remembered a detail—a
- [DP CH47](https://98novels.com/dp-ch47/): Because of the weather, the sky at nine that night was much darker than usual. The night was as thick as ink, and the stretch from the shopping street to the residential area was silent. Besides Ren Qin, there were three other people in her home. Ji Mingrui had rushed over from the police station
- [DP CH46](https://98novels.com/dp-ch46/): For several days, the gloomy, drizzling weather had been pressing down on people so heavily that it was hard to breathe. Light rain had been falling on and off without end. Ji Mingrui pulled up his hood to use it as a rain cover and walked out of the Anjia flagship store with a stack
- [DP CH45](https://98novels.com/dp-ch45/): Ren Qin's basic background was not so different from Yang Zhenzhen, whom they'd encountered at the bar, or from Xue Mei, who had been found naked inside the freezer. As Ren Qin spoke, the three young faces gradually overlapped in Chi Qing's mind. Ren Qin continued: "I first found a hotel near my workplace and
- [DP CH44](https://98novels.com/dp-ch44/): A few minutes later, Ji Mingrui hung up the phone. He left the instant noodles untouched, threw on his jacket, grabbed his car keys, and rushed out the door. Su Xiaolan was coming out of the break room when she ran into him. "What's going on?" Ji Mingrui: "Got a tip from a member of
- [DP CH43](https://98novels.com/dp-ch43/): Xie Lin had just gotten home. He tossed a fresh stack of crime scene photos he'd brought back from headquarters onto the coffee table in the living room, then undid the hidden buttons of his overcoat with one hand while keeping his phone to his ear with the other. Rather than rushing to ask Ren
- [DP CH42](https://98novels.com/dp-ch42/): The two stood in the hallway staring at each other for a long moment. "If I wanted to kill you," Chi Qing said, looking him in the eyes, one word at a time, "there are at least ten methods that wouldn't leave a single trace. It would be effortlessly easy to ensure the police could
- [DP CH41](https://98novels.com/dp-ch41/): Although Ren Qin had only moved in not long ago, she had made the apartment feel very homey, completely getting rid of that cold, empty, fully furnished model-unit look it had at first. A fluffy blanket was spread over the bay window in the living room, and the whole place had a warm, gentle color
- [DP CH40](https://98novels.com/dp-ch40/): Chi Qing didn't expect Ren Qin to be working nearby, so he lingered for a bit. After seeing her, he intended to leave, but Xie Lin's way of handling things was completely different from his. Once those few customers had walked out the door, he pulled Chi Qing into the shop: "What are you in
- [DP CH39](https://98novels.com/dp-ch39/): After Chi Qing went back, he took off his gloves. He hadn't blow-dried his hair after his shower, and the damp, cold strands clung to his forehead. As usual, the lights in the room were off. He stepped barefoot on the wooden floor, walking to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water. A
- [DP CH38](https://98novels.com/dp-ch38/): Several people fell silent with a tacit understanding for a moment. Finally, Xie Lin asked: "Where is that neighbor of Xue Mei's?" The recording personnel on the side answered: "His detention period ended, he paid the fine, and has already been released." The buzz-cut guy was on his day off today. He was at home
- [DP CH37](https://98novels.com/dp-ch37/): If he had to choose between listening to someone crying, laughing, and acting hysterically over a melodramatic soap opera in the middle of the night, and listening to a couple being all lovey-dovey, Chi Qing would rather choose the former. He went to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water. While waiting for
- [DP CH36](https://98novels.com/dp-ch36/): The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn. After a long while, someone finally spoke first: "A few nights ago, a murder occurred in the city..." There was currently no other public information regarding the two serial home invasion cases of Yang Zhenzhen and Xue Mei. After hearing Xie Lin's description of the killer's work
- [WCBD CH52](https://98novels.com/wcbd-ch52/): Aneurin Moore stood beside Siles, his face grave as he asked, "Professor, are you missing anything? Your manuscript..." Last Saturday in the office, he had seen with his own eyes Siles writing something down in a draft notebook. However, he had left earlier than Siles and didn't know that Siles had taken the draft notebook
- [DP CH35](https://98novels.com/dp-ch35/): The ring Xie Lin took off was lying in Chi Qing's hand. Because the "treatment" was still ongoing, one of his hands was still being held by Xie Lin. He wanted to give the ring back, but when he tried to pinch the band with one hand, he couldn't get a good grip. The cold,
- [DP CH34](https://98novels.com/dp-ch34/): The new tenant was indeed a girl. She looked well-behaved, with smooth, straight hair, wearing a beige sweater. She spoke softly, repeatedly thanking the movers: "The things are a bit heavy, thanks for your hard work." The front door was open. Inside, there was only simple decoration; the floors and basic facilities were installed when
- [DP CH33](https://98novels.com/dp-ch33/): The door to the observation room was suddenly pushed open. The two parties involved, Chi Qing and Xie Lin, didn't have much of a reaction, but the person at the door almost had his jaw drop to the floor. It took a good while for Ji Mingrui to find his voice. “You guys...?” Chi Qing
- [DP CH32](https://98novels.com/dp-ch32/): Although the sounds inside the General Bureau were clearly chaotic and overlapping, with people talking about all kinds of things, because that sentence from the buzz-cut man was so shocking, Chi Qing couldn't hear anything else for a moment. It was as if someone were crouching by his ear, repeating that sentence over and over:
- [DP CH31](https://98novels.com/dp-ch31/): In his twenty-plus years of life, Xie Lin had only encountered one person in this world who simultaneously fit all these adjectives. Xie Lin got up, rested his hand on the back of the front seat, gestured for the detective to move aside a bit, and leaned in to look at the rearview mirror. The
- [WTNL Chapter 505](https://98novels.com/wtnl-chapter-505/): Thank you @Nova and @Renea for the Kofi. Yuying UniversityChapter 505: I don't understand...system failure? The dormitory door was tightly closed. Inside, it was pitch-black, without a single shadow. But in this tomb-like dead silence, a faint, rustling sound could be heard. By the side of the wall-side bed, a corner of the wrinkled bedsheet
- [WTNL Chapter 540](https://98novels.com/wtnl-chapter-540/): Thank you @Renea for the Kofi. Anchor HallChapter 540: Oh dear, you flatter me In the second floor of the casino, an area typically inaccessible to ordinary people, a strange, crimson gambling table was placed in the center. Neatly stacked on the table were over a hundred red chips. This was a high-stakes gamble valued
- [DP CH30](https://98novels.com/dp-ch30/): The words 'Running away after sleeping with me' looked very ambiguous. Chi Qing: ... Chi Qing's mental state was much better today. Two households in the building had planned to go traveling together and entered the elevator at 8 AM this morning. The sick person resting at home had also recovered. With a few households
- [DP CH29](https://98novels.com/dp-ch29/): Inside the General Bureau's conference room, the materials had been prepared in advance. A rookie from the general brigade, responsible for bringing in mineral water, secretly observed the situation in the conference room from the corner of his eye while setting down the water. Thus, the general brigade rookie saw the young man—who had been
- [DP CH28](https://98novels.com/dp-ch28/): Not long ago, the relationship between these two was still one tying the other up with a necktie, and the other holding an umbrella in the rain pointing the tip at the other. Because of the treatment for losing control, they could actually stand together calmly and talk now. Before coming, Chi Qing wasn't sure
- [HL CH165](https://98novels.com/hl-ch165/): With Luo Sui gone, the gathering—which was supposed to be a discussion but was actually a shouting match—could naturally no longer continue. Consequently, there was no conclusion regarding the brooch that had been forcibly gifted to Huo Ranyin. "Don't you think things are somewhat strange?" Ji Xun asked Huo Ranyin after they stepped out. "Many
- [HL CH164](https://98novels.com/hl-ch164/): Luo Sui slowly snapped back to reality. All the gazes in the hall were focused on her—curious, contemptuous, full of malice... Among them, the female voice that had just spoken—Hu Zheng's wife—was looking at Luo Sui with smugness and no lack of vigilance, on guard against any move the other might make next. At this
- [HL CH163](https://98novels.com/hl-ch163/): Both Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin felt surprised when they received the news. They hadn't forgotten the story about the Buddha statue that Old Hu had told them. The reason they had decided to return to Ning City first was simply because they were severely injured and couldn't hold on; they intended to take a
- [DP CH27](https://98novels.com/dp-ch27/): Perhaps it was a psychological effect, coupled with the fact that basically all the residents had gone to sleep in the latter half of the night, but after Chi Qing rubbed against Xie Lin's hand that day, he actually fell asleep after going back. A dreamless night, hearing no sounds at all—no distorted voices, and
- [DP CH26](https://98novels.com/dp-ch26/): After Chi Qing finished taking his temperature, it was a low-grade fever. He had slight fever symptoms but it wasn't obvious, so he could be observed for a few more days. Xie Lin temporarily didn't mention going to the hospital: "Take the medicine first. If it still doesn't get better in a few days, you'll
