Futile Devices Scans

After more than half a month of working overtime around the clock, the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate finally managed to sort out both the Chen family case and the murder of Monk Zhi Ji, which had been joined to it for investigation. They were just about to breathe a sigh of relief when…

Pei Zhao did not answer Qin Shu’s question. Or rather, he answered it in a very strange way. He raised his head and met Qin Shu’s deeply inquisitive gaze, then lifted the corners of his lips and revealed a smile Qin Shu had never seen before. It was soft, almost radiant. His beautiful foxlike eyes…

The atmosphere in the hall was heavy. They knew perfectly well that Huang Guangde was stirring up trouble behind the scenes, yet they had no evidence to use against him. There was nothing more frustrating than knowing who was striking at them while being forced to stand there and take the blows! Old Tao suddenly…

Ying Xiu Jie: From the very beginning, Ying Xiu Jie had regarded the entire challenge with contempt. He thought it was far too easy and utterly beneath his status. At the very least, they should have made him jump off a building without a safety rope and see whether he could grab onto something during…

Compared with Consort Shu Meng, Nalan Xuan found himself inexplicably far more nervous. Things had already reached this point. If the truth really was what he suspected, then how was he supposed to face it? His body stiffened unnaturally, the tension pulling at the wound that had only just stopped bleeding. Sitting beside him, Feng…

By the time Nalan Xuan followed Feng Xuanyi and the imposing procession to the gates of Luoxiao Palace, Empress He Yilan and the others, having rushed over upon hearing the news, were already waiting outside. Without further instructions from the emperor, however, none of them dared act rashly. For once, the empress wore an expression…

Since there was no video footage, it was still impossible to confirm whether the enormous fish truly existed. For all they knew, it might simply have been a whale swept up by the gigantic waves and collectively mistaken by panicked witnesses for some impossible mythical creature. Even so, as Director of the Anomaly Containment Agency,…

Qi Mu forced his eyes wide open and refused to blink, determined not to lose on sheer nerve, until his eyes began to sting. Just when he was about to reach his limit— Jiang Shao suddenly looked away and lowered his eyes. Qi Mu: “…” That’s it? I won? It felt like punching a wad…

For the past several days, a fine, unending rain had fallen over Haojing. The thin drizzle rode on the bitter winter wind, stinging the face with countless tiny pinpricks. Ever since winter began, Fu Xi Yan had switched to commuting by carriage. It was slower, but at least he stayed warm along the way. This…

“Welcome to the Morning News Briefing. Today is the first day of 2026, and I’m delighted to be with you once again here on Youth TV. I’m Liang Ming Yue.” “New Year’s Eve celebrations across the country drew another enormous wave of visitors. Jiangcheng’s fireworks show along both banks of the river also ranked impressively…

The gatekeeper was remarkably skilled at keeping a straight face. Gu Xiaojia had shouted loudly enough for anyone to hear, yet the man somehow managed to pretend he had heard nothing at all. Lowering his head, he murmured, “Have a safe journey, everyone.” Gu Xiaojia curled his lip. Hao Guozi obligingly added, “They say without…

Zhang Luo: Zhang Luo sat in the library hugging his beloved laptop. The students across from him and all around him were quietly occupied with their own work, giving the place a peaceful, refined atmosphere. Zhang Luo pulled a sexy set of women’s lingerie from his bag, spread it out, cleared his throat, and spoke…

Nalan Xuan’s expression remained rigid. As though his grip were not already tight enough, he clenched his right fist even harder. Of everyone present, only Nalan Xuan and Xiao Dezi knew that something was hidden within that fist. And only Nalan Xuan knew what that seemingly insignificant object meant. Precisely because he knew where it…

Before Imperial Physician Liu could even finish saying “forgive this subject,” Feng Xuanyi had already lost patience with watching the portly old man totter to his knees, trembling so badly that he could barely get the words out. He waved him off impatiently. “I don’t care what method you use. I want Virtuous Lord completely…

Fresh air eagerly squeezed through every crack. The thick clouds gradually parted, making way for the first rays of morning. One beam of light fell, then two, then countless rays. They gently covered the city, the balcony railing, the window frames, and happiness itself, before mischievously landing on Mai Ding’s pillow. Mai Ding rubbed his…

Mai Ding raised one hand to shield his eyes from the sun and squinted through his fingers, then scooted farther beneath the shade umbrella. It really was comfortable. The sunlight warmed his entire body. Mai Ding had completely forgotten about school, forgotten the Academic Representative position, and even his grand plan to contribute to the…

When they reached the island, fresh ocean air rushed toward them. Mai Ding stared dumbly at the scenery. It was almost too beautiful. Azure sea, golden sand, clouds made whiter by the contrast. Mai Ding happily ran ahead, then remembered getting lost yesterday and limited himself to happily running back and forth instead. An Zi…

Mai Ding’s English ability extended at most to everyday phrases such as “Have you eaten?” and “Nice to meet you.” He couldn’t understand the road signs at all and had no idea how to ask for directions. Wearing a miserable expression, he thought he couldn’t possibly have walked very far, so why couldn’t he find…

Late that night, when An Zi Yan finished reading and returned to the bedroom, Mai Ding was already asleep, occupying practically the entire bed. An Zi Yan walked over and lowered his head to press a kiss to Mai Ding’s lips. The gentle touch tickled, making Mai Ding frown and shift slightly. An Zi Yan’s…

It was only the Academic Representative position for one class, something An Zi Yan wouldn’t normally even bother looking at, yet Mai Ding took it extremely seriously. The day before the election, he insisted on preparing some kind of campaign speech, saying he wanted the entire class to understand that if he became Academic Representative,…
