Volume 1, Chapter 69: Beginning the Renovation

"Yangzi, I've already arranged the renovation team. Just go and open the door for them in a little while, and tell them what needs to be done."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Guolin said with a smile.
"Brother Liu, you've really done me a huge favor again. How can I ever thank you enough?"
Just two days after taking office, the Inspection Bureau received numerous anonymous letters reporting various officers. After conducting a verification, they found that all the allegations were true. Armed with solid evidence, Ling Xia led the personnel of the Inspection Bureau to swiftly deal with a batch of officers who had violated military discipline and discipline a group of soldiers with powerful backgrounds.

Ouyang Hao called over a waiter, brought a new set of cutlery for An Muchen, cleared away all the previous dishes on the table, and replaced them with a fresh spread.
Even among the people around Guo Yi and Xiao Wanting, many were calling out for expansion, but Zhao Hong smiled and rejected their proposals.
Isn't there a saying that goes, "My fate is determined by myself, not by the heavens"? Here, "the heavens" refers to the supreme force that controls all destinies, which is precisely "Heavenly Fate."
One thing was certain: these dead bodies were not zombies, because they lacked the characteristic signs of decay found in zombies, and the blood pooling around them was bright red, quite unlike the dark, rotted blood of the undead.
Though the figures could not be clearly distinguished, one could infer from their hazy trajectories that one person was pursuing while the other was fleeing.
With that, casting aside all caution, he desperately performed a spell, and ten burning paper talismans miraculously hovered above each of his ten fingers.
Judging solely by the exterior of the corporate building, An Lulu's company was indeed much more grandiose and impressive than An Yujia's.
Liu Daneng was momentarily stunned. Although he was somewhat timid by nature, that didn't mean anyone could bully him at will, especially with Ye Lengfeng present, which gave Liu Daneng a surge of courage.
The possibility of actually killing them was slim and best left unmentioned for now, but as long as they could stall Hong Xiang and the other two, the tactical situation on the battlefield today would not undergo any drastic changes.

However, faced with someone as stubborn as Chen Qingpei, coupled with a father even more stubborn than Chen Qingpei, what else could he do?
