Chapter 1124: Chapter 1124: Hundred-Year Agreement, Witch Clan Seeks the Protection of the Huo Family
Wei Linchen spoke calmly as he stated the facts, but Fu Yinru’s face turned pale upon hearing them.
His eyes filled with rage and an undeniable panic, under Wei Linchen’s penetrating gaze, he lowered his voice and roared, "Yuheng has already come back!"
As if to affirm his confidence, his voice rose in pitch.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Fu Yuheng, with his hands crossed on his lap, clenched his fists as he heard his elder brother’s voice lose its composure.
Wei Linchen’s hands, placed on the steering wheel, also tightened as he spoke in a deep voice, "Big brother, I am happy that second brother has returned, but that doesn’t change the fact that he is already dead."
He wanted nothing more than for his second brother to be truly alive.
Fu Yinru approached Wei Linchen, pressing his hands against the car window, his dark eyes fixed on him.
He took a deep breath and spoke softly, "Xiaojin, Yuheng has returned; we are all reunited now. Isn’t that good?"
"No!" Wei Linchen maintained a stern face, "Second brother is now being controlled by someone else, you know very well he is neither human nor ghost, why deceive yourself!"
He believed that all the Fu family members present that night could see that second brother was not right.
Fu Yuheng had no shadow like a normal person, his body temperature was cold as ice, and his eyes were lifelessly void of human spirit, which could not be perfectly hidden in front of the Fu family foxes.
They were all deceiving themselves!
Hearing that his younger brother was being controlled, Fu Yinru’s face turned ashen. His icy gaze shifted from Wei Linchen to look at Fu Yuheng sitting in the driver’s seat.
The latter gave him a slight smile, with no spoken rebuttal or visible emotion, as if everything was normal.
Seeing his second brother like this pained Fu Yinru deeply. Leaning closer to Wei Linchen, he gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you want me to do then?!
You don’t know how happy father was tonight with Yuheng coming back; he asked me to call you because he wanted to mend the father-son bond we’ve had for so many years. Now, if you take second brother away, how could he accept it?"
Wei Linchen was indifferent to this; all his thoughts were on Fu Yuheng.
He slightly loosened his grip on the steering wheel and spoke calmly, "I will take second brother to see Qin Ruan. You should trust her abilities since she was the one who resolved your chronic physical issues, allowing you to experience the joys of a normal man."
Fu Yinru had never told his younger brother that Qin Ruan had altered his physique to let him experience the normal joys of emotions and desires.
He furrowed his brows tightly, scrutinizing Wei Linchen sitting inside the car, "I never told you about this, how did you know? You sound very familiar with her?"
Hearing the suspicion in his voice, Wei Linchen resisted the urge to roll his eyes, his voice laced with sarcasm, "I am very familiar with Qin Ruan; can you rest assured now that I will take second brother with me?"
Fu Yinru was still not ready to let go, "What about father, how am I supposed to explain it to him?"
Wei Linchen self-deprecatingly said, "Explain my ass! Have I not caused enough trouble since I was a kid? Let the old man vent his anger; who knows, it might even help him live to a hundred."
Fu Yinru glared at him, "What kind of nonsense are you talking!"
Seeing his lecture-ready stance, Wei Linchen couldn’t be bothered with him, "Enough talk, I’m going to take second brother to see Qin Ruan. Regardless of whether it works out or not, I won’t send second brother back."
Fu Yinru exclaimed, "Wait!"
Wei Linchen impatiently asked, "What else?"
Fu Ziqiu glanced at him and said indifferently, "I have something to ask my second brother."
Wei Linchen leaned back, allowing him to fully see Fu Yuheng, with arms crossed and chin slightly raised: "Ask!"
Fu Yinru wasn’t concerned about his brother’s cold demeanor. In front of outsiders, Wei Linchen always maintained a gentle and refined appearance, which made him seem very scholarly.
But in his presence, the other always maintained an arrogant attitude of defiance, as if saying no one could teach him a lesson.
Fu Yinru’s gaze shifted to Fu Yuheng in the passenger seat, and he asked in a gentle voice, "Yuheng, what is your relationship with the Witch Clan?"
That question made both Wei Linchen and Fu Yuheng raise their eyebrows.
Wei Linchen hadn’t expected his elder brother to have thought of this.
Fu Yuheng always believed he had hidden it well, but hearing his brother’s calm tone, it was clear that the other had long noticed something was off.
If it weren’t for their youngest brother piercing through that false veneer, perhaps they would still be presenting a facade of harmony.
To avoid wasting time, Wei Linchen spoke up before Fu Yuheng could, bluntly revealing, "Our second brother is being controlled by the Witch Clan, and our abduction years ago was also orchestrated by them. The Fu Family has always been called the ’Land Emperor’ in the south, so why haven’t they uncovered such a crucial matter?
Furthermore, if you keep delaying, our second brother will waste another second under the Witch Clan’s control. You better think about how you’re going to explain this to the stubborn old man inside the house later. I’m taking our second brother to meet Qin Ruan, wait for my good news!"
With that said, he stepped on the accelerator, and the low-profile luxury car shot out.
Leaving behind a shocked and furious Fu Ziqiu, he was sprayed with exhaust fumes.
The abduction of his two younger brothers was actually planned by the Witch Clan?
He knew that recently something was amiss in Capital City—the Witch Clan had conflicts with the Huo Family.
When his second brother returned, he had detected that something was amiss but had not fully suspected the Witch Clan, as he ultimately did not want to complicate matters too much.
Now, all pretenses of peace were shattered, and both fury and anxiety surged in Fu Yinru’s heart.
Fu Ziqiu walked out of the house, surprised to see Fu Yinru standing alone in the courtyard: "Cousin, where are the others? Where are Brother Yuheng and Xiaojin?"
"They left; let’s go inside."
He could already imagine the thunderous rage his father would unleash upon learning that his youngest brother had taken away the second brother.
Huo Mansion.
In the bedroom, Qin Ruan obediently lay in Huo Yunjiao’s arms, neither of them closing their eyes.
Feeling the heartbeat and warmth emanating from the chest behind her, Qin Ruan placed her hand on her stomach and spoke softly, "I need to go to the Imperial Court Hotel tomorrow. Although the child is unharmed, the Witch Clan dared to target her and must pay a corresponding price."
Huo Yunjiao’s hand encircled Qin Ruan’s waist, gently caressing in a seductive manner.
A deep voice rose from behind Qin Ruan, "Ruanruan, do you know about the legend of the Witch Clan?"
Qin Ruan turned around, facing Huo Yunjiao’s calm eyes in the dim light of the sleeping lamp, and asked, "What legend?"
She thought he was referring to the rumors told to her by Wu Fan and Yanxuan.
With a slight smile on his lips, Huo Yunjiao spoke slowly and softly, "The Witch Clan has remained hidden for many years because they have always been suppressed by certain forces. Their emergence always means facing mortal danger. The century-long agreement with the Huo Family is also to seek the Huo Family’s protection."
