The individual labeled a corporate spy, upon seeing the investigators were not from his own company and after some persuasion from Mu Xing, finally admitted, “I was indeed the one who took the documents out.”
However, by this time, Wu Chi was no longer an ordinary businessman. Even Chai Rong dared not directly approve his request to travel abroad, insisting that he must first seek the emperor’s permission.
If Si Hanyu had truly died at the Shu family residence last night, regardless of the relationship between the murderer Han Yuru and the Shu family, the Shu family would inevitably be implicated.
Before any technological means could overcome altitude sickness, the Tang Dynasty was simply unable to effectively control Tibet; otherwise, with Emperor Taizong Li Shimin’s capabilities, he would not have chosen a marriage alliance to resolve the issue.

Chen Kefu thought his plan was excellent; even if he couldn’t kill Shibi, severely wounding him would suffice. If he failed to seriously injure him, at least he could deal a heavy blow to the Ashina tribe’s forces.

Consequently, the sound of the torpedo would abruptly cease, much like the nuclear submarine "San Juan" suddenly shutting down and going silent.
The five vice ministers, including Yu Shiji, jointly held power in the court. These five were known as the "Five Nobles," all serving as prime ministers under Yang Guang.

The Gui army shifted from an offensive to a defensive posture. He had hoped that by eliminating the Red Army, his forces could seize regions like southern Hunan and southern Jiangxi, laying a solid foundation for advancing out of Guangxi. But just as his hand reached out, that army severed it.
Wang Bian looked up and saw the majestic Linshuo Palace. Observing the rows of imperial guards standing like iron automatons before the palace gates, he quickly dismounted, took a deep breath, and approached.
Clearly, compared to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Miami Heat had not yet reached that level this season.

A rumbling train passed right beneath their feet. A ferry drifted leisurely under the northern steel bridge, everything seeming so calm and peaceful.

Upon reaching the headquarters of the Evil Infant’s Cave Heaven, they were informed that Huang Puqi was battling the Shadow Spirit tribe at the Endless Cliff within Evil Infant’s territory. Zhang Ye inquired about the direction to find Huang Puqi. After ten months, they arrived at Endless Cliff, where devastation stretched for hundreds of miles — rivers of blood and heaps of bones.
