"Murder!" A sharp female voice, like a small knife, tore through the tender night woven by lights and mellow wine. The surrounding crowd froze, then, as if controlled by the same remote, they all turned their necks towards the direction of the sound. The two police officers who had just finished questioning the bar manager reacted the fastest. They rushed to the location where the female voice had sounded and saw a female waitress standing against the wall, trembling. Her mouth was open, her face…-

The preliminary on-site investigation was over. The body was to be transported back to the police station, and some physical evidence was gradually being brought out of the house. Among the evidence was a bird, alive, in a cage. It was a Java sparrow, pure white with just a touch of red on its beak. The delicate cry Ji Xun had heard when he saw the body was from this bird. As the police carried it out of the house, Ji Xun noticed that the birdcage was filled with an excessive amount of food and…

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…-

Chapter 121: Love You Very Much (Extra 5) Shan Yu's guess was absurd, but in the face of his dad's rather unexpected reaction, Chen Jian was caught in two minds. On one hand, he thought it was impossible—his dad had never raised a hand against anyone in his entire life, and his words had been crystal clear. On the other hand, he felt it wasn't completely out of the realm of possibility either... Driving in silence toward the small town, he even had the bizarre illusion that he was bringing backup…

Chapter 120: Someone Comes Out (Extra 4) "Dad," Chen Jian looked at his dad, sliding the tissue box across the table toward him. "This thing... Sun Nana only went to talk to him this morning. We still don't know the outcome, or whether..." "I know what you mean," his dad pulled out a tissue and dabbed at his eyes. "Honestly, it doesn't matter whether we can get it back or not. It's enough for Dad to know you've been keeping it in your heart." He had kept it in his heart all along; every time he…

Chapter 119: Just Everyday Life (Extra 3) When Chen Jian came down from the third floor, his ears were practically ringing. He had stood outside a guest room on the third floor for half an hour, listening to an older gentleman critique every single aspect of Dayin Guesthouse. From parking guidance at the entrance, to check-in, dining, and tourist activity consultations... in short, it all boiled down to one thing: a lack of continuous, uninterrupted smiling. The security guard directing traffic…

Chapter 118: A Bit of Everyday Life (Extra 2) "Hello, front desk." Chen Jian picked up the phone, glancing at the wall clock beside him. Three o'clock in the morning. "Hello," a girl's voice came through from the other end. "Isn't your front desk usually staffed by a girl?" "Her shift ended," Chen Jian replied. "Do you need a female staff member to assist you?" "No need, it's too late anyway," the girl said. "Do you have sanitary pads?" "Yes," Chen Jian opened the drawer to check. "We…

Chapter 117: Lao Wu's Love (Extra 1) "What do you think?" Chen Jian asked with a smile. He was driving, while beside him, Shan Yu's phone was on a continuous loop playing the character entrance video for Dayin Jianghu, which Hu Pan had just gotten Liu Wu to finish post-production on yesterday. "Liu Wu made this? He didn't pay someone else to do it?" Shan Yu remarked. "It actually turned out surprisingly decent." "Give him some credit," Chen Jian said. "Heard he pulled all-nighters for several…

Chapter 50: White Mist in the Woods 15 Jiajia was sitting at the top of the stairs, hugging her drawing board and drawing. Suddenly, with a "thud," a small leather ball landed in front of her. The little girl was startled and looked up in a daze, only to see Yi Ke standing opposite her, holding a motorcycle helmet. "Want to try it on?" Yi Ke invited. Jiajia understood his meaning, and her eyes instantly lit up. Yi Ke chuckled, walked up the stairs, and knelt down to carefully put the helmet on…-

Chapter 49: White Mist in the Woods 14 A 1.5-meter bed was barely enough for two adult men. A single turn could result in a collision. So, Yi Ke carefully moved to the side, leaving most of the bed for Zhuang Ningyu, who wasn't a very still sleeper. After a while, he reached out to tuck in the corner of his blanket, then closed his eyes with satisfaction. In the middle of the night, with a "thump," someone rolled off the bed. Zhuang Ningyu sat up, still in shock. Yi Ke, rubbing his bumped…
