Chapter 54: Grandson! The Village Chief Pays a Visit?

Qin Feng was momentarily taken aback by this sudden scene, unsure how to respond.

“Uncle Fan Yong, what are you doing?” Qin Feng hurriedly tried to return the money to Zhao Fan Yong.

At this moment, Zhao Fan Yong’s eyes were already red; seeing Qin Feng push the money back, he dodged, refusing to accept it.

Having already received so many favors from Qin Feng, to him, this money was something Qin Feng rightfully deserved.

But Qin Feng insisted...

She still knew about the Gu Group and hoped to wait until her son was a bit older before sending him to kindergarten. Then she would visit their company to try her luck, aiming to find a better job. After all, she couldn’t just stay home raising the child; that would eventually lead to ruin.

Rong Bao and Chun Lan sighed with relief. Chun Lan immediately responded and left, while Rong Bao recounted to Shuang Zhi the events that unfolded after the young master returned last night.

“Madam, should we pass the word down so that the staff knows to pay respects to the matriarch in the future?” Hong Mian asked.

Han Yuchu was on the phone calling him, but Mu Jingchen had blocked her number early on, so there was no response at all.

When Fang Ya and Long Yuqi saw Gu Xiao arrive, they were both excited to approach, but their steps halted after just three paces. They exchanged a knowing glance, as if silently agreeing to hold back.

His foster family was truly kindhearted. Although they knew being a celebrity could bring considerable wealth, they still worried about Ning Jing, afraid of becoming a burden to her. No matter how much money she gave them, they all insisted they were fine and told her not to worry—her well-being was all that mattered.

With him by her side, what was there to fear? He wouldn’t let her take any risks. Without absolute certainty, he would never bring her into danger.

That meant Shen Ye no longer possessed even half of his former strength… In fact, as Hua Lidong said, he didn’t even have a tenth left.

The holographic version of “Supreme” differed from the web version. In the holographic edition, the basic vitality of a celestial cultivator was as high as 15,000 points. Yet, even so, starting a battle already down by nearly a third of health was truly rare.

Carlos’s fury was uncontrollable. Levi was a subordinate he valued deeply. This man’s talent was considerable, and he was utterly loyal. Now that he was dead, if Carlos didn’t seek justice for him, perhaps his soul would never rest.

He recalled his last memory—the detestable Duolun, a sudden rush of white powder, then a shadowy figure… He looked at his mother, confused and helpless.

Though Zeng Jian’s words were simple, Wang Peng’s heart stirred. Old Master Zhao could command Zeng Jian, who in turn could organize and deploy personnel when the Zhao family’s head was absent.

The emperor’s condition was slightly better. Though he remained feverish and drowsy, after some water and dry food, he had calmed down considerably. Only Chu Tianzhao remained unconscious. Yang Fei’er and Yuan Yuan assisted them down, laid out fresh clothes, and then the two of them slept closely together.

“Really?” A Niu’s face lit up with excitement. Heaven rewards the diligent; finally, success had been achieved.

This man was Lu Ming, grandson of Lu Sicheng, and the second most powerful figure after him. But this “second-in-command” title carried an entirely different weight.

Wang Peng keenly noticed Xu Qian’s subtle change but chose to ignore it, assuming it was just the other person’s pride wounded from learning the business strategies he had proposed.

She hadn’t felt hungry until they mentioned eating. Now, Jia Qianqian’s stomach grumbled loudly. She hadn’t had breakfast this morning before being brought into the palace to see the emperor, and now that it was past noon, her hunger was all the more pronounced.
