Futile Devices Scans

Putting the gun inside the paper-towel dispenser had been an experiment by the people on the other side. After confirming that the gun had successfully been taken, they knocked on the dispenser again. Clearly, they still had something to say. Fang Huan Xing waited a few seconds. Sure enough, with a clunk, something else came…

In a television drama Lan Xi had watched recently, a woman who had undergone gender reassignment surgery sent her aunt intimate photographs of herself with the aunt’s husband, creating an enormous shock. Lan Xi had been deeply impressed. So now he copied the idea, convinced that he too could give Fu Hui an enormous shock.…

That afternoon, Yan Xiaodao met several of the group’s business partners for coffee on the first floor of their corporate headquarters. In the evening, they went together to an upscale restaurant for another round of drinking. Business was discussed over the dinner table; once men were pleasantly warmed by alcohol, conversation tended to become more…

Song Zang almost laughed out loud. He had not expected Yin Chen to possess such clear self-awareness. With Yin Chen interrupting his thoughts like that, Song Zang’s mood seemed to lighten somewhat. After thinking it over, he decided it would still be better to tell him about the problem. After all, there were not many…

Half an hour later. Jiang Shao organized the documents in his hands and passed them to Qi Mu with a soft laugh. “President Qi, want to take a look?” Qi Mu took them and flipped through the pages. All the important figures and key information in the thick stack of reports had been clearly marked,…

Fortunately, Pei Yuan Jin also had a limit to how many times he would press a question and did not pursue it relentlessly. Fu Xi Yan relaxed slightly, grabbed a cushion, and was preparing to take a nap when he suddenly heard Pei Yuan Jin ask, “Why haven’t you been practicing lately?” Fu Xi Yan…

Bang! BEEEEEP—! A tremendous impact sounded, followed immediately by a long, piercing horn and then the shrill screech of emergency braking. The instant Chen Shui finished that final sentence, Qin Shu slammed his head into the steering wheel. He pressed Chen Shui down together with the driver’s seat, at least giving the back of his…

The clear sound of whistling had an almost hypnotic quality that made people want to sway their heads along with it. That was probably because of the person doing the whistling. Zhi Li’s chair was balanced on a single leg, making anyone who looked at him nervous. With both hands tucked into his pants pockets,…

Under the combined attack of seven opponents, Hu’erhan gradually fell into a disadvantage and was forced back step by step. Nalan Xuan, who had turned his head and allowed his attention to stray, had already lost the initiative. By the time he tried to withdraw and create distance again, it was too late. Using Nalan…

Following Nalan Xuan’s gaze toward the mountain range to the northeast, they could see the snow line that remained unmoving even in summer. The road stretching beneath their feet was just as it had been throughout the journey, deliberately cleared and swept like a silent invitation. “Since they have invited this prince with such sincerity,…

“Your Highness, just listen to the kind of nonsense those bandits are spouting! Give them an inch and they take a mile. How dare they entertain such filthy ideas about Your Highness!” Hu’erhan was so furious that he stamped his feet around the room. “Your Highness, just give the word and this subordinate general will…

Ever since the embarrassing misunderstanding outside the city gates, Hu’erhan had become rather awkward whenever he saw Nalan Xuan. Unfortunately for him, news of the incident somehow spread without wings until it was known throughout the streets and alleys, becoming a joke and a piece of idle gossip for old people and children over their…

The moment those words left Hu’erhan’s mouth, no matter how sincere or earnest his expression might have been, using them to describe a man—and a prince who possessed absolute authority over the region at that—was unquestionably provocative, even disrespectful. Nalan Xuan, however, acted as though he had heard nothing offensive. If anything, he appeared to…

After returning from the amusement park and dropping Xiao Bai off at home, Yan Su Ang was just about to go upstairs and sit for a while when Lian Jue Xiu’s relentless death-summons began coming one after another. The moment Yan Su Ang answered, Lian Jue Xiu roared from the other end, “I’ve finished filming…

When Yan Su Ang came to pick him up on Sunday, Xiao Bai almost failed to recognize him. T-shirt, jeans, thick-framed glasses, an oversized baseball cap, and a face mask. Jia Zhi Qing’s eyes widened. “Great God, are you preparing to flee the country?” Or had lust finally gone to his head and he wanted…

The final game tested team chemistry. Plenty of variety shows had played this game before, but audiences never seemed to tire of it, because the comedy required absolutely no manufacturing. It was completely natural. The game was essentially a drawing version of telephone. The guests lined up in a row, separated from one another by…

As the high-jump bar rose higher and higher, more and more people were eliminated, until only three remained: Yan Su Ang, Xiao Tian, and Lian Jue Xiu, all attempting a height of 1.63 meters. As though mentioning it casually, Lian Jue Xiu said to Xiao Bai, “Looks like I’ve greatly exceeded your expectations.” Xiao Bai…

Once the original two teams had been reshuffled, the atmosphere immediately became noticeably different from before. Going on a variety show and fighting tooth and nail against a bunch of people you barely knew would be idiotic. But once old friends were involved, a sense of competition immediately raised its head inside everyone’s chest. Lian…

“Baji” Wang Guang Qi was the team captain for the Tears of a Man cast. “Guaji” Qian Yong Jing led the other team, which had been thrown together from members of two singing groups. The moment the program started, the two captains began trading barbs. Wang Guang Qi looked disdainfully at the opposing team. “Our…

There’s Always a Higher Mountain was normally recorded on Wednesday afternoon and broadcast during prime time on Friday night. Ever since its ratings began disappointing the station, its broadcast slot had been moved to ten o’clock on Tuesday night. To leave more room for dealing with unexpected problems, recording was changed to Sunday afternoon. Jia…
