Where to Go The pungent smell of disinfectant, mixed with a faint floral fragrance, quietly squeezed into Chen Jin’s nostrils. The burnt, smoky smell and the metallic sweetness in his mouth were gradually replaced. He struggled to lift his heavy eyelids, focusing his mind. His vision slowly transitioned from blurry to clear—what greeted his eyes was a pristine white ceiling, a bright overhead light, and a transparent IV bag hanging beside the bed, slowly dripping fluid. This wasn't the dilapidated…-

The Lamp of Resolution There was no borrowing of luck, no sorcery. There was only a father’s clumsy, humble, yet all-consuming love. He paved the way for his son, even going so far as to fabricate such a fragile lie, only so his son wouldn't bear a psychological burden—and this, ironically, became the knot in Wu Kai Ke’s heart that he couldn't untie. “Father…” A hoarse, broken whisper escaped Wu Kai Ke’s throat, and then he couldn't make another sound. As if struck by lightning, he slowly…

The Mystery of Borrowed Fortune In the Bai family courtyard, Wu Zeng lay still on the ground, muddied like a puddle of sludge in the rainwater, the fresh blood seeping from his body spreading into a glaring dark red in the mist. "Brother Zeng..." Uncle A Dong approached slowly, his voice trembling, afraid that Wu Kai Ke might turn around. The short distance felt like a thousand miles to him. Wu Zeng’s eyes were tightly shut, his lips pale, only the slight rise and fall of his back proving he was still…

Wu Zeng's Identity At the courtyard entrance, a figure had appeared unnoticed. Wu Kai Ke held a pure black, long-handled umbrella. Rain streamed down the edges of the canopy, forming a curtain of water. He was impeccably dressed in a suit, his leather shoes gleaming, completely out of place in this muddy, bloody battlefield. "You really are something," Wu Kai Ke's voice was soft, yet it clearly pierced the rain and reached everyone's ears. "Wu Zeng, hmm?" He bit down lightly on the last two words, but…

Raving Old Monster It was rare for an obsession entity to so directly reveal its identity. Wu Kai Ke stared intently in the direction the group had fled. His words were clearly aimed at Chen Jin and the other two, but because they were busy escaping Old Man Wu’s pursuit, they hadn't heard a word. "Why is this thing chasing us relentlessly!" "What did Wu Kai Ke do to his father?!" "You didn't pick up anything strange, did you? Why is he only chasing us?" "......" Passing the Bai family residence,…

Lord of This World Chen Jin’s mind was filled with the image of Wu Zeng’s suggestive actions from the morning, leaving him with no appetite. His gaze swept over the noisy crowd. He saw the three Bai brothers sitting in a corner, the two younger ones obediently squatting on their seats, waiting for the food their eldest brother was scooping for them. Wu Zeng’s fingertip lightly brushed the back of Chen Jin’s hand under the table. The icy touch made him shiver. Following Wu Zeng’s subtle…

The Wu Family Banquet “Quite the lavish affair,” Chen Jin shrugged. “But isn’t there a saying in the village now that the deceased must be placed at the Mountain God Temple for a day before burial? I remember he didn’t pass away on the same day as Aunt San Rong…” “I don’t know about that. I heard Wu Kai Ke’s temper has become very strange since he left. It’s surprising enough that he’s treating the whole village to a meal,” Uncle A Dong chattered, clearly bored from guarding the…

Bai Family Secret “Xiao Jin! Wake up! Xiao Jin!” An anxious voice pierced through layers of clouds and fog, rousing Chen Jin’s dazed consciousness like a spring rain, but his vision remained a blurry kaleidoscope. “Xiao Jin!” Chen Jin jolted violently, gasping for air as if forcibly dragged from deep water. He suddenly realized he was in a posture of lunging outward, currently held tightly by Wu Zeng. Sweat soaked his back, and his heart hammered wildly in his chest, threatening to burst out.…

Chapter 9: Sharing a Bed. Unrepentant desire with no exit... Schneider’s lie made Ruan Siyu purse his lips. His fingers curled slightly as he suppressed the urge to roll his eyes, but his biting nature couldn't be held back: Should I believe you possess the character of a gentleman, sir? —As if the man before him wasn't the same beast who had been panting heavily at the first opportunity. Schneider’s expression remained unreadable under the shifting streetlights, his voice laced with deliberate…-

Chapter 8 The Contract: Sir, I’m Afraid I Can’t Handle You Right Now. Rob didn't reply. His high brow and deep-set eyes gave him a naturally cold, exotic look that tempered the softness of his handsome, youthful features. He stared deeply at Josh, gazing at his exhaustion and dejection. The alcohol had caused Josh to lose his patience and self-restraint, but he could hardly say he regretted it. When a person was as poor as he was, things like alcohol and prescription drugs—expensive items that…
