      AD CH122 Cover
      by Aria — Chapter 122: Dayin Jianghu, To Be Continued (Extra 6) Chen Jian sat at the front desk, checking the room reservations on the computer while resting his hand down to stroke Mogu, who sat beside his chair. More than half the rooms were booked. Honestly, there was no real need to check this information over and over, but he still liked looking at it whenever he had a spare moment. It brought a sense of satisfaction, and a sense of security. The security of being able to make money. Today was Chen…

      by Aria — Chen Jian couldn't ask Shan Yu those questions directly out of his own mouth. His only hope was that Shan Yu would catch his eye and give him some sort of sign or direction—how on earth was he supposed to handle this?! In true escape fashion, Shan Yu used his crutches like lightning to sweep into the elevator. Facing away from the door, he reached back with the tip of his crutch and tapped the control panel. The elevator doors slid shut, and it began to ascend. He could aim accurately even from…

      by Aria — Chen Jian had truly never expected that he would be thrown off by a wheelchair. In truth, the wheelchair wasn't moving that fast, but his mental calculation hadn't given it enough margin; before the wheelchair had surged forward more than a few meters, he had been shaken loose. Yet in the very next instant, he gave chase for a few steps and grabbed hold of the wheelchair with a firm grip. "Stop, stop, stop," Shan Yu said. "Let go. If a scuffle breaks out in a moment, we'll draw the security guards…

      AD CH41 Cover
      by Aria — Shan Yu turned his head to look at him as well, not answering right away. Nor did he refuse to answer. Chen Jian had thought he ought to feel embarrassed in this silence, or regret asking such a question, but surprisingly, he didn't. Because he could tell Shan Yu's expression was very serious. "My friend... told me," Shan Yu was contemplating how to put it, "my partner got out." "The partner who scammed you in that fraud scheme?" Chen Jian asked. "Mm." Shan Yu looked down at the empty…

      AD CH31 Cover
      by Aria — Identical? Chen Jian instantly felt the bracelet in his hand growing a bit too hot to handle—it felt awkward either to hold it or to put it down. He could only hold it in his hand, pretending to examine it carefully. If they're identical, why did you go to the trouble of putting them in two different boxes? "They're different," Liu Wu said. "I specifically used two different boxes to store them." Chen Jian breathed a sigh of relief, quickly sweeping his eyes toward Shan Yu's hand. Then…

      AD CH63 Cover
      by Aria — "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 a second later, he froze. Sun Nana turned her head slightly, sweeping her hair aside. Right next to her left ear was a purplish, bloodied gash. Further down, near…

      AD CH106 Cover
      by Aria — 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 him, he discovered his hair had already air-dried for the most part. "Still want to dry it?" Shan Yu asked. "Forget it," Chen Jian stood before the mirror, raking a hand through his locks. "It's…

      AD CH1

      AD CH1 Cover
      by Aria — Shan Yu leaned sideways in the back seat, his head bouncing back and forth between the window and the backrest like a resilient ping-pong ball. The road had been bumpy for over an hour without a smooth patch. The car was filled with deafening music, and it was pouring rain outside. The constant bumping and noise were making him dizzy. He couldn't be bothered to steady his head anymore; his neck was already sore. Liu Wu, who was driving in front, said something, but he didn't hear it…

      AD CH64 Cover
      by Aria — 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 one entire lesson, Chen Erhu’s speech had become remarkably smoother. "We also went over the inn's fire safety equipment and…

      AD CH107 Cover
      by Aria — 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, still blasting an assortment of joyous, festive New Year anthems. However, the crowds had thinned considerably compared to the preceding…
