st outsiders. But now there wasn't a single bark, not even the chirp of an insect. It was an unnerving silence.A ripple graced her lips, a smile betraying the knowledge that her chance had arrived.She...Johnny Lee, accompanying Ripples out of the hospital, couldn't help but ask tactfully:

"Ms. Wu, aren't you here to punish Mr. Feng Why is he still in the hospital"

"Wouldn't it be his greatest punishment to spend his whole life lying in bed"

Ripples asked in return.

For him, it was actually a way out of prison and he even had to pay to keep him.

"It doesn't matter, after all, it's Feng's unjust wealth that he's spending. The more Feng leaves him, the longer he can live and the longer his 'punishment' will last."

Ripple spoke with a profound meaning, a hint of irony playing at the corners of her lips.

I suppose Feng Junyi will regret deeply that he didn't squander the huge sum of money in time.

The next day, Johnny Lee sent ripples to the airport. Before they parted, he told her that Sharon had passed the department's test and was officially back on duty. She only remembered that she had been seriously injured during a mission, everything else was blank.

"I hope Officer Sharon stays healthy in her future work."

The ripples smiled and sent her blessings, then boarded the plane home under Johnny's gaze.

After that, Johnny went to see Feng Jinyin, who didn't need any bodyguard protection. He always felt that Feng lying on the hospital bed wasn't really that comfortable.

After returning home, Lian Yi went straight to the Mage Association to turn in her mission. The president read over Lian Yi's report and after clearing his throat, asked:

"Isn't this a bit heavy"

"Is it heavy I calculated that he is now thirty-two years old. With the medical conditions in M country, as long as money is available, he could live to at least ninety years old. Less than sixty years of punishment is not enough compared to the sum of the ages of those girls who died unjustly. You have to understand that each girl's future was unpredictable. He has extinguished so many lives and hurt so many parents. And how many families have been torn apart because of him!"

I think all of this is light, because I am a genuine practitioner of Xuanmen. Otherwise, I would really want to draw out his soul and torment him, letting his spirit be burned by the fire of karma and never reborn again.

Ripples said faintly.

The chairman felt he had overstepped and immediately ended the topic.

Upon learning that Lianyi had returned to her homeland, Honglian went out of her way to visit her.

"I didn't expect you to be back so soon. I thought you wouldn't return until the end of the month."

"Since the matter has been dealt with, there's no need to stay there any longer."

Ripples still prefers its own seaside villa.

"You made me watch Yu Biyao. She's doing very badly now, borrowing money to get by everywhere. Now everyone who knows her avoids her, and she even came to me to borrow money. I kicked her out."

Hong Lian smiled and said.

"Knowing full well that you and I are competitors, she reached out to you What tempting offer did she make in exchange"

Ripples asked with great certainty.

"tsk, how else would you say that you're the senior sister and she's the junior sister! She said she would tell me where your pressure points are."

Hong Lian swayed the red wine glass in her hand and said.

"Indeed tempting."

Liàn Yī nodded, Jade Biyáo spared no effort to pit her.

"Rest assured, I'm not so despicable. I didn't accept her terms. Even if I win, I want to do it fairly and openly, not rely on this kind of method, making me look like a spineless fool."

After taking a sip of wine, Hong Lian said dismissively.

"A wizard's weak point is the most hidden, how could anyone else know I don't believe a word she says."

"This time, Jade Bihua didn't deceive you."

R ripples leisurely leaning on the sofa, smiling and said.

"What Wu Lianyi, are you crazy How could you let Yu Bi Yao know your weakness!"

Honglian was startled.

"She stole it. Before this, I trusted her and didn't think much of it. But when she joined forces with Gao Yang to scheme against me, my lifeline was transferred by a secret method."

Ripples explained.

"That startled me; I thought she would be taken advantage of. But she didn't get anything out of me with this news, she'll probably go find someone who will pay."

Hong Lian thought for a moment and said.

Then I'll just wait and see. A fox will always show its tail eventually.

Ripple also wants to know who is so interested in her life gate.

After you left, the Mage Association happened to experience a major event.

The Association's council member, Liang Gang, was expelled from the Magician's Association. He was also stripped of his magician's qualifications and had all of his illegitimate income confiscated for using magic to cover up murders for certain individuals.

This is already a lenient sentence.

"The real bombshell is that Liang Gang refused to accept this outcome. He secretly released Gao Yang and, even more suspiciously, Guo Zizheng, the son of Guo Huai whom I asked you to keep an eye on, and then vanished without a trace. The Association of Occultists nearly turned upside down."

Ripples heard this, his expression flashed, and then coldly said:

"Liang Gang actually took such a big risk to do this, there are only two possibilities: he was threatened, or he got unexpected benefits that made him willing to take the risk."

Gao Yang was released, which solidified the fact that Liang Gang had a connection with sorcerers. Guo ZiZheng left with him, and they were both unable to wash away the suspicion from themselves. It's unknown whether Liang Gang saved or harmed them.

"My Master Wu, at this time, you are still worrying about these things You should think about it, all these people have had conflicts with you. If they all gather together…"

Honglian helplessly reminded.

"Your guess makes sense. Perhaps all of this is the work of Guo Huai who has always kept a low profile. Even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. He served the Feng family for so long, he must have some assets and connections."

The ripples caressed the rim of the glass, and she began to consider the matter seriously.

Since you know what's going on, be more careful when accepting missions in the future.

Because of Liang Gang's incident, the Association of Mages has launched an internal investigation. In the case of Liang Gang leading rogue mages and suspects to escape, anyone involved will be severely punished.

"As expected of the president, you're still so decisive."

For the sake of the mages' association's reputation, he definitely couldn't let Liang Gang lose face.

And the four fugitives mentioned by the two, were now gathered together: Liang Gang, Gao Yang, Guo Hui, Guo Zizheng, and even a person that Hong Lian hadn't expected – Yu Biyao.

"I have brought all the people you need, as promised. I can no longer stay in the wizarding world and must leave the country. Remember the terms we agreed upon."

Liang Gang's face was grim as he spoke.

“Councilor Liang, please rest assured. I will definitely keep my word. I am doing this to save my own son and disciple, so I had no choice but to resort to such a plan. Your wife and children are fine; they left the country ahead of time and are currently abroad waiting to reunite with you. If you don't believe me, I can contact them right now.”

Guo Huai smirked but didn't look happy. He took out a cell phone from his bosom and handed it to his son beside him, asking him to press the speed dial button. Half a minute later, the video call was connected, displaying Liang Gang's wife and son on the screen.

Only then did Liang Gang's expression relax. He took the phone and went to a corner to talk with his family.

"Master Guo, do you think he would be willing to cooperate with us"

Jade sat on the sofa, twisting her nails and asking.

"Aren't all of us gathered here because we were directly or indirectly harmed by Wu Lianyi Who doesn't want revenge Who wants to be humiliated for a lifetime Who wants to be trampled on by her"tands. He wouldn't make his own sister, who shares the same mother, suffer, nor would he require her to make such a sacrifice."Hongji said confidently.Only then did Yun An reveal a hint of a smile."In...
