Hua Rongyue felt that the atmosphere around her had suddenly shifted. It was as if she had stumbled into another world — one completely different from what she usually saw.White and red lights crisscrossed all around her. The light felt unreal, like it had passed through some kind of filter. The entire world appeared distorted,…

It had already been over twenty minutes since the people from Six Doors and those on the flower boat had first clashed. But during this time, they hadn’t even managed a proper confrontation—because everyone’s attention was focused entirely on Hua Rongyue. Hua Rongyue herself hadn’t expected things to go this way. She had originally planned to…

“When did you get up here?” Hua Rongyue, who had been hiding up in the beams for quite a while and jumped down the moment things started going wrong, hadn’t expected to land face-to-face with Jiang Lianhuan. She had been focused entirely on the chaos caused by the madwomen and hadn’t noticed when Jiang Lianhuan arrived. But…

When the blue cloth was brought back to the inn, everyone’s face grew somber. They all recognized it—it was a piece of the clothing Hua Rongyue wore before she disappeared. There were traces of blood on it, which only deepened everyone’s concern. Given the bustling night market, it was impossible that no one noticed a…

Someone Who’s Always Full of Surprises Although Jiang Lianhuan came and went in a hurry this time, he uncovered a shocking secret. When Six Doors heard his report, everyone there was stunned. The man with the mask — whose face couldn’t be seen — was now suddenly on Six Doors’ wanted list overnight. Of course,…

Just from the man’s presence alone, he could tell this wasn’t an ordinary person. That claim could easily be humility—or deflection. The man gestured for him to sit. Jiang Lianhuan hesitated briefly, then…

That figure instantly drew Jiang Lianhuan’s attention. He wanted to follow, but he couldn’t find a proper path from the first floor to the upper level. He couldn’t shake the feeling that the person had been observing him from above. That man gave off an aura he couldn’t penetrate. Last time they met, Jiang had sensed danger…

Hua Rongyue stood hugging her arms as she watched a mother and daughter nearby. At first glance, they seemed like an ordinary pair. But on closer inspection, there was something subtly different about them. The daughter was beautiful—a charming, sweet-looking child. The mother was beautiful too, resembling many of the women who worked on this…

Philosophical Jiang Lianhuan still hadn’t figured out what exactly had happened, even after returning. The more he thought about it, the more exciting it seemed… Meanwhile, Li Zixin and his crew began debating the identity of that “mysterious man.” If they followed the line of thinking that he might be the boss of some secretive organization, then…

As soon as Li Zixin asked the question, everyone froze for a moment. Head Constable Jin asked, “There were how many people who went after him just now?” “Only Jiang Lianhuan,” someone who had gone with him replied. In truth, they’d only bumped into each other by chance and decided to drink together. Jiang Lianhuan…
