Chapter 1171: Chapter 1171: Josh’s Kind Reminder, Vampire Assault Incident

Josh still remembered the scene he had witnessed through the bathroom mirror.

His expression was one of panic, his eyes wide with shock.

The profound feeling at that moment was like the world was about to end, his body and mind both trembling slightly.

He was both furious and enraged.

At that time, he was stunned, his hand placed on a vital spot, unable to move.

Within those few seconds of shock, the strong scent of alcohol hit his nose, accompanied by the teasing, low, and ambiguous voice that echoed in his ears.

"Quite pert, and it feels pretty good too."

The voice was very familiar, and within a second, Josh had confirmed the identity of the person.

The instigator was Xiao Yujie, with whom he had a vendetta so strong it could break legs.

When Qin Mei saw the look of indignant fury on Josh’s face, apart from being shocked, he also gave Xiao Yujie, who had touched the tiger’s buttocks, a thumbs-up.

After a good while, he uttered another curse word.

He hadn’t expected that Xiao Yujie and Josh’s new grudge would be formed in such a way, a possibility beyond imagining.

Xiao Yujie was indeed bold to dare to stir up trouble right under the dragon’s head.

The fact that he was still alive could only be called a miracle.

Qin Mei swallowed, asking nervously, "Did you guys start fighting again at that time?"

Once the subject came up, a dark cloud appeared on Josh’s delicate face as he gnashed his teeth and said angrily, "Before I could make a move, his friends dragged him away."

The look on his face made it clear he wished he could tear Xiao Yujie limb from limb, his words tinged with an unspoken regret for not having beaten that philanderer to death.

So much time had passed since the incident, and Josh had not yet taken Xiao Yujie down, which made him wonder if Xiao Yujie was holding back some major move.

Qin Mei’s thoughts raced, and he put his arm around Josh’s shoulder, patting his butt.

Seeing that his companion’s expression did not change, with no sign of anger or rejection, he finally felt relieved.

Josh indeed felt nothing out of the ordinary; he and Qin Mei were used to messing around, physical contact was not a one-time thing, and his psychological and physical acceptance had no clear boundaries.

Logically, being touched by someone shouldn’t make a big man like himself act so prudish.

But it was different.

The actions of Xiao Yujie that night were completely different from those involving Josh.

Josh’s were the provocations between brothers, while Xiao Yujie’s were more lewd, causing both psychological repulsion and a chilling sensation through his body.

Qin Mei was unaware of his internal struggle and, with a mischievous grin, hooked an arm around his neck saying, "Little Xixi, look, I slapped your butt and you’re fine. As adults, we don’t hold grudges against the petty actions of others. There’s also the alliance between the Xiao and Fu Families. I’ve heard that the Cabinet has already started to favor the Xiao Family, and Xiao Yujie is already within the Cabinet. Even if he doesn’t hold much real power, his situation is different from ours; he’s someone who will stand his ground there in the future."

It was precisely because of this concern that Josh had refrained from taking action against Xiao Yujie.

If it were the past, he would have had people bring his adversary to him to kowtow and beg for forgiveness, then crush the bones of that offending hand.

He pulled away Qin Mei’s sticky arm that was hooked around his neck and surveyed the delicate yet stern, utterly unscrupulous face before him with a meaningful glance in his brown eyes.

He tugged at the corner of his mouth and warned, "Don’t say I didn’t warn you, brother. Next time you use the bathroom outside, remember to protect your own flesh. There are plenty of perverts in this world."

The reason Josh was so angry was that he had later uncovered some private information about Xiao Yujie.

That guy wasn’t just a flirt, he was also a heartless fellow.

The men and women flocking around him could line up and circle around Capital City.

That night, it was clear he was treated as a toy for amusement as before.

Qin Mei thought Josh knew the complexities involved and wouldn’t act rashly, his warnings brushed off with a grin, "Got it, let’s hurry inside to pamper the two little ancestors. Luckily, they’re returning to the Huo Family tomorrow; any more of this and my life is over!"

He grabbed Josh’s sleeve and pushed open the room door.

The noise of the children inside reached his ears, then was cut off as the door closed.

The next day, Qin Ruan and Huo Yunjiao went to the Qin Family to pick up the two little ones.

On the way, Huo Yunjiao received a call from the company explaining that there was an issue with an order previously signed with a major overseas customer. Huo Yirong had business elsewhere and wasn’t at the company, so they needed him to personally make some decisions.

Huo Yunjiao hung up and apologized to Qin Ruan.

"No problem, I’ll drop you at your company first. After picking up Ayao and Anqi, we’ll come back to get you."

"Alright—"

A kiss landed on the side of Qin Ruan’s forehead.

Watching Huo Yunjiao, accompanied by Huo Qiang and his entourage, approach the HEA Company building, Qin Ruan instructed Huo Zhi to drive to the Qin Family.

Bored on the road, she opened WeChat to check out what was trending.

Opening the "Emperor Beitai Above Us" group chat, the most recent discussions were about the numerous accidents that had been happening in Capital City over the past few months, ranging from car accidents to drownings, mostly appearing as natural deaths.

Everything seemed accidental, but Qin Ruan knew these were the Witch Clan surreptitiously murdering innocents to turn them into Puppets and expand their influence.

With the departure of the Witch Clan’s Saintess Ji Shuzhen, such incidents had vanished from Capital City.

However, they had started occurring frequently in other cities. Members from groups like the Maoshan Sect and Jade Star Sect knew that the world was unstable, with evil forces stirring up trouble.

Mystic Masters everywhere were trying to prevent such things from happening, trying to protect the innocent from harm.

The chat was about which city had recently experienced a suspicious number of natural deaths in a short period.

Seeing the city they were referring to, Qin Ruan estimated whether Ji Shuzhen had fled through there.

Later, the chat topic shifted, talking about Vampires appearing in Capital City.

Seeing the word "Vampire," Qin Ruan perked up, sitting up straight and scrolling down non-stop to read the messages.

A half-month ago, the first Vampire assault case happened in North City of Capital City. The victim was a wealthy merchant returning home late at night, turned into a mummified corpse by a Vampire.

Several more Vampire killings followed.

According to the bite marks left on the victims’ necks, forensic experts determined the wounds weren’t caused by the same Vampire—each victim was killed by a different one.

The victims all died from being drained of blood, their identities varied from wealthy merchants, office workers, to drunkards roaming the night.

The only commonality was that they were all victimized after dark.

Maoshan Josh: [Vampire attacks in the east are rare. They stick together and usually don’t deal with those of us in the Mysterious Studies World. I don’t think they’re likely to commit such acts, especially because once there’s a Vampire killing, those higher up will inevitably go after them first.]

Jade Star Trail Taoist: [After the cases occurred, the relevant departments immediately contacted Fan Hangyi.]

Qingcheng Wei Xishi: [That guy must be exploding with rage.]

Followed by an emoticon that gloated over others’ misfortunes.

Jade Star Trail Taoist: [Indeed, I heard that life has been miserable for everyone in Sea City, from the executives right down to the small fry. Fan Hangyi’s influence in Sea City isn’t to be taken lightly.]
