Chapter 1104: Chapter 1104: He Went to Report to the Underworld, I Can Also Pull Someone Back from Hell

Qin Ruan withdrew her gaze from Josh and turned her head towards Huo Yirong, who stood beside her.

The latter met her cold, lustrous eyes slowly and began, "We went to eat in the restaurant first, and then went to the Imperial Court Hotel to settle our business partners. After that, I took Josh away."

Huo Yirong, recalling the events of the previous night with Josh, hadn’t noticed anything unusual about him.

But now, seeing the expression on Qin Ruan’s face, it was likely that Josh had still fallen into a trap.

For his younger cousin to come to harm under his watch was tantamount to a provocation for him.

Huo Yirong was shrouded in towering anger, and his naturally dark eyes became even more somber.

Qin Ruan’s lips were tightly pursed as she sensed the Blood Evil Energy spreading from inside the house. She asked again, "During this time, did Josh come into contact with anyone, or did anything strange happen?"

Without a second thought, Huo Yirong answered, "No, he just drank quite a bit of alcohol, looked drowsy, and was taken care of by the family’s Hidden Guard the whole time. He didn’t come into contact with anyone else."

Last night, Josh could be said to have been with him the entire time.

If Josh had encountered someone else, it would be impossible for him not to notice.

Qin Ruan narrowed her eyes and her cool gaze returned to Josh inside the room as she said displeased, "Go check, pull up the surveillance footage and see who Josh had contact with. He has been targeted, afflicted with an Evil Qi, entwined by a malevolent Puppet that won’t rest until he is dead. Only someone who had close contact with Josh could have acted."

Hearing this made Huo Yirong exude a dangerous aura of murderous intent all over; he roared loudly, "Huo Qiang!"

Huo Qiang quickly approached, "Present!"

With a face turning an angry shade of blue and a tightly clenched jaw, giving him a sharp and stern appearance, Huo Yirong ordered the person standing before him in a cold voice, "Bring up last night’s surveillance footage, and see who has come into contact with Josh."

He was determined to tear whoever it was to shreds.

His little aunt’s only precious son—if anything happened to Josh, he wouldn’t have the face to meet his little aunt again.

"I’ll go right now!"

Huo Qiang hurried off, taking two Hidden Guards with him.

Qin Ruan touched her abdomen, which had yet to show any sign of pregnancy; the child was not even two months’ old yet, and besides her increased appetite, she felt no different in her body.

The Blood Evil Energy inside the house didn’t pose much danger to her, but its effects on the unborn child were unknown, so she dared not act rashly.

But if she didn’t take action, Josh’s death was certain.

Qin Ruan’s eyelids drooped slightly, and a cold, thin light emerged in her pitch-black eyes.

Considering the Witch Clan that was soon to arrive in the Capital City, she couldn’t help but surmise that the person who acted against Josh behind the scenes might have been targeting her.

Without evidence, she couldn’t be sure, but there was a flicker of unease in her heart.

Between Huo Yirong’s brows gathered a hint of hostility, yet his voice softened as he asked Qin Ruan, "Little sister-in-law, you have a way to save Josh, don’t you?"

Under his hopeful gaze, Qin Ruan shook her head.

She raised her hand, pointing to Josh, who lay on the bed inside, shrouded with a fog of Blood Evil Energy, "He is enveloped in a thick aura of death; if we can’t find the culprit by sunset, Josh is undoubtedly doomed."

Huo Yirong’s complexion changed dramatically, his eyes revealed a light of horror, and his unfeeling lips trembled slightly. His fists by his sides clenched tightly as the suppressed anger he could no longer contain.

He raised his hand and punched the blue-and-white porcelain mural on the corridor wall.

With a whoosh, the glass protecting the mural shattered to the ground.

Huo Yirong’s punch was far from weak; it pierced right through the glass, staining the well-preserved, precious ancient painting with vibrant blood.

Qin Ruan sensed the murderous intent and uncontrollable rage surging from him, stepping forward to remove his injured hand from the glass shards.

She frowned delicately, her voice displeased, "Being angry and anxious now is pointless. What’s most important is to find the person behind this. Even if Josh truly reports to the Underworld, I can pull him back from Hell and return him to the Mortal World."

Qin Ruan, holding Huo Yirong’s hand, nodded towards Huo Zhi, whose complexion was equally grim, body enveloped in Evil Qi.

The latter looked down at the second master’s injured hand, watching as his tightly clenched fist dripped bright red blood onto the carpet of the corridor.

Huo Zhi stepped forward, offering a handkerchief to Qin Ruan, who didn’t take it but instead presented Huo Yirong’s hand to Huo Zhi, "Dress the second master’s wound."

"Madam, let me do it," offered Chen Hengfeng as he stepped forward.

As a doctor, who had brought medicine with him, there was no one better suited to bandage Huo Yirong’s wound.

Qin Ruan addressed him with detached politeness, "Thank you for your trouble."

Chen Hengfeng bowed slightly to her and began to clean the tiny glass fragments from Huo Yirong’s wound, with the help of his assistant, treated it with medicine.

Huo Yirong acted as if he felt no pain. The moment he learned that Josh’s life was hanging by a thread, the tightly wound string in his brain had snapped completely.

"Younger sister-in-law, Josh must be alright; he can’t die!"

His unmasked angry voice was cold and somber; his facial contours shrouded in darkness made others feel a chill to the core.

Qin Ruan stood at the bedroom door, not turning her head, calmly responded, "With me here, nothing will happen to him."

It was already three in the afternoon.

By the time Huo Qiang had checked the surveillance, and timelines had been investigated, it was simply too late.

After promising Huo Yirong, Qin Ruan stepped into the room.

Before entering, she reminded those outside, "No one is allowed in. You’ve already been contaminated with the Blood Evil Energy. Getting close to Josh can lead to irreversible consequences."

Watching her walk into the room with her slender figure, Huo Yirong pushed aside Chen Hengfeng, who was dressing his wound, and hurried forward, calling out, "Qin Ruan!"

Qin Ruan looked back in surprise, her bright eyes puzzled, "Hmm?"

Huo Yirong urgently asked, "What about you? Are you in danger?"

His younger brother had not been as healthy as before, and if something happened to Qin Ruan now, things would get even more out of control.

Qin Ruan gave a light smile, "Who knows."

The Blood Evil Energy on Josh was not simple; anyone cursed with Evil Qi must have a Puppet lurking near them, but she could not see any Puppet shadows around Josh.

With potential unknown dangers lurking, she naturally couldn’t be entirely assured there was no threat.

Hearing her say this, Huo Yirong disregarded the danger and walked into the room, taking Qin Ruan’s hand to lead her out, his voice cold as ice, "Huo Zhi, notify Ling Xuzi to come as quickly as possible, no matter where he is, and gather the Magicians from the other Sects in Capital City. Invite them all over!"

Qin Ruan was his younger brother’s most cherished person, the woman he was emphatically instructed to protect with the entire Huo Family on his deathbed.

Now she was carrying his younger brother’s child, and any mishap today would bring earth-shattering changes to the Huo Family.

He couldn’t allow Qin Ruan to face any danger.

"Yes, Second Master!"

Huo Zhi turned and quickly left.

Confused by Huo Yirong’s series of actions, Qin Ruan saw Huo Zhi’s retreating figure and shouted sharply, "Huo Zhi, come back here!"
