Chapter 120: No Honor in Fighting!
Upon hearing Xu Ze speak to her, the receptionist’s cheeks instantly flushed a deep red. As the front desk clerk of an entertainment company, she had encountered numerous celebrities and should have been accustomed to such encounters. Yet, when facing Xu Ze, she found her breath catching slightly. Xu Ze exuded an utterly different aura. Many people only reveal their true essence when you see them in person.

“How do you know my size?” Zhou Si held up a pair of black boxer briefs, looking at Zheng Jinxin with confusion.
During the match, Yu Shen noticed Yu Nanxiao squeezing through the crowd and waving at him as soon as she spotted him.

“If none of us leaked any information, it’s likely one of us,” Detective Hu said. “We should carefully investigate the five of us; I’m not afraid we won’t find the culprit.”
The Liu Maigan and Chen Beilou families were neighbors separated by only a wall. For years, they had no quarrels or conflicts; in ordinary times, you’d give me a couple of scallions, I’d repay you with some radishes.
Night Phoenix, pondering this, began to consider what kind of gift to offer the family—a gift too cheap would be shameful, too expensive would be inappropriate.
