Chapter 106: Raiding the Cannabis Warehouse

"Since you've already found him, why don't you just send someone to arrest him?"

Mesa looked at Ao Xi. "That is precisely why I am sending you. Find him, try your best to persuade him to turn himself in, and I will see to it that his sentence is reduced. If he refuses... you understand what I mean. He used his status as a police officer to commit armed robbery, tarnishing the public image of the entire department. Any other chief would have given him no chance at all!"

Ao Xi nodded. Antrim...

Qin Ran usually dressed in elaborate gowns with full makeup, but today she wore simple, sharp casual clothes. He almost failed to recognize her at first glance.

He opened his eyes to find Lin Shihan kissing him with wild abandon. His heart hammered against his ribs, a mix of resistance and surrender washing over him. The subtle sensation instantly swept through his entire body, his mind went blank, and everything surrendered to the magnetic pull of desire.

Yi Xiaoer shot a playful, reproachful glance at Han Xiao. Han Xiao winked back with a mischievous smile, and in an instant, her annoyance vanished completely.

Han Xiao nodded, patted his shoulder, called out to Murong Jingyi, and strode toward the cave dwelling.

The scene at the time had indeed been chaotic; perhaps others hadn't noticed her behavior, but he had seen it clearly.

After the crashing wave strike fell, Lang Hongxiang dashed to the side again. The swirling currents rose in an instant, binding Xiao Quan, who had been attempting to tear through the waves. Under the immense shearing force, Xiao Quan's reaction speed slowed by a fraction.

But upon entering the living room, he saw Lotus sitting there motionless, staring blankly like a statue, devoid of any sign of life.

Stepping out of the stone forest, Lang Hongxiang braved the yellow sand, continuing his aimless search. Here, even his instincts were suppressed to a very low level, unlike in the stone forest where the environment was relatively better and his perception sharper.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, clinging to Long Zhong's hair. He suddenly felt his mood become exceptionally clear and serene today. The white world before him truly made one feel free and comfortable.

She figured Xiao Heng must be furious right now. She didn't know what had come over her earlier; faced with Wen Jiaran, she had been led into a trap by a mere few words.

"Zhuang, we've decided—tomorrow we're all betting on you," Ikar said immediately after Zhuang Yi returned.

I don't know what they were talking about, but Lan Fei actually blushed and turned her head away, looking incredibly shy. Seeing this, I felt my heart pound—uh... a very unpleasant premonition.

According to the standards defaulted to by Su Zhou and Julian, now that the format had changed from best-of-seven to best-of-five, Su Zhou had already taken two games, and Julian's situation was precarious.

After the struggle, the scene was a mess. People were covered in blood—some their own, some from the mutated beasts—looking utterly disheveled. Fortunately, the casualties were not high.

"But if you don't let us taste it, how are we supposed to know its value?" Ikar asked.

Xia Zihan could tell that the martial arts of the bodyguards were inferior to those of the men in black. Even with three or four bodyguards ganging up on a single man in black, the assailant remained undefeated.

The Empress Dowager had spent her entire life in the palace, decades of it. She had experienced everything and played every game of palace intrigue. In her youth, she had fought and schemed against the late Emperor’s concubines countless times.

"Exactly. We ended up in such a sorry state, only to find out it was all a wasted trip," another younger member chimed in, his tone filled with dissatisfaction.

Xiao Yuyin gazed at the precious medicinal herb that had perished under Ye Yun's hand. She felt her heart clenching just like the herb, aching for Nalan Heng—truly aching for him.

Ye Wei was not to be outdone by the others and joined the chase. A scene of back-and-forth pursuit unfolded, much to the delight of Ye's father and mother at the dinner table.

"With the tracks damaged, I fear it will take no less than ten days to reach Luoyang. It is a pity; I had heard the tracks were incredibly fast, yet I cannot experience them. Truly a shame," Fu Wan said with a laugh, attempting to lighten the mood.
