    • HL CH217 Cover
      by Aria — Taking a full detour around the perimeter, Ji Xun wound his way to the rear of the target bungalow. Just as he was wondering whether he should scale the wall to check on the situation since Huo Ranyin hadn't given a signal yet, he suddenly heard a booming, full-throated interrogation: "Who are you?!" The voice came from the front. Huo Ranyin’s trouble had arrived. Ji Xun looked left and right. Seeing no one, he pulled down his jacket sleeves to wrap his palms, took two steps back, aimed for a…

      by Aria — Ji Xun was currently browsing Yingying’s social media homepage. Yingying wasn't very old. According to her profile, she was only 24. She had been running her self-media account for three years now, and the results were quite impressive; she already had 560,000 followers. They were highly active followers of both genders, and judging from their comments, they absolutely adored Yingying’s looks. It was indeed a beautiful face. Compared to the fans behind the screen, Ji Xun was perhaps more…
    • DBMEP CH3 Cover
      by Aria — Chapter 3: "Basically safe." The system’s efficiency was incredible. In less than two minutes, it displayed the navigation route and signaled that Xiang Nanli could go check in directly. Due to a tight budget, Xiang Nanli chose the cheapest subway option, which cost 5 credit points for a ticket. To understand the purchasing power of credit points, he specifically checked the vending machines and small shops at the subway station to gather data on commodity prices. In the underground city,…
    • HL CH231 Cover
      by Aria — The car moved swiftly along the highway, tracking forward into the night. The wind rushed inward through the half-open window, blowing hard enough that the unsealed letter, which Ji Xun had taken out and tossed onto the passenger seat, pressed tightly against the door, completely motionless. He looked at the path ahead. Alongside the straight road illuminated by artificial lighting lay a pitch-black world untouched by the beams. The world was vast. What people could see was merely the tiny sliver…
    • HL CH181 Cover
      by Aria — "Is it worth it?" A long silence followed the end of Ji Xun's speech before the vice captain finally broke it, his expression thoroughly grim. "The victim suddenly became the perpetrator, only to be brought to justice... Whether she resigned or reported it to us, why did she have to take it to this point!" "Could she have resigned even if she wanted to?" Zhao Wu sneered, recalling the swarm of children and relatives he had seen at Old Hu's villa. "When their mother was working as a nanny in…
    • HL CH285 [Extra] Cover
      by Aria — Having been admitted on April 29th, nearly half a month of hospitalization allowed Ji Xun to watch the once-bare plane tree branches outside his window burst into a lush expanse of powdery purple clouds. Heavy clusters of blossoms weighed down the slender twigs, drooping until they touched the windowsill. Whenever a stray breeze blew past, a stray petal would wander into the palm of Ji Xun, who still struggled to lift his arms. "Sigh—" Ji Xun let out a long sigh, placing the petal resting in his…
    • HL CH226 Cover
      by Aria — After the ledger was brought back to the police station, it triggered a wave of commotion and excitement across a considerable range of departments. All the police officers involved in handling this case, without needing to be called, rapidly gathered in the First Squad's office. They swarmed around the ledger to analyze, compare, and discuss it; even the people from the forensics department specifically came over to check out the excitement. Among the crowd, Huo Ranyin ran into Yuan Yue. Yuan Yue…
    • HL CH262 Cover
      by Aria — "What's the situation now?" It was a tiny space—measuring less than six square meters in total. A single bed pushed against the wall, a desk running parallel to the bed against the opposite wall, and a sink standing upright at the head of the bed filled the cramped room to capacity. Naturally, the room had two doors: one led out to the corridor, while the other—sandwiched between the desk and the sink—led to the bathroom. The bathroom, however, was not private to this single room; it sat tucked…
    • HL CH265 Cover
      by Aria — A door on the second floor opened silently. The amber light from the hallway spilled onto the crimson carpet. On a corner wall, a damaged surveillance camera—its lens cracked into a spiderweb pattern—continued to stare down the hallway. Yet, it was strange, exceedingly strange. This narrow corridor led toward the spiraling central staircase at the front and faced the closed captain's cabin at the back. Within this long passage, it was completely empty and dead quiet—there wasn't a single soul…
    • HL CH254 Cover
      by Aria — All the bosses followed Mr. Liu upstairs. Afterwards, the ten bodyguards split into two groups. Five of them—including Mr. Liu's two personal bodyguards—went up together, while the remaining five stayed downstairs in the central hall to guard the rest of the captives. Meng Fushan naturally stayed among the crowd. Leaning against the staircase railing, he wanted to fish a cigarette out of his pocket; his fingers flexed inside, but he slowly pulled them back out empty. Was that Silver Mask…
