Chapter 1182: Chapter 1182: Get Out If You Don’t Want to Die!

Cai Yongliang stood on the lawn, glancing at Huo Zhi, aware that she was the Hidden Guard assigned to Qin Ruan by the Huo Family, and he knew she wouldn’t leave.

He averted his gaze, presenting a test report to Qin Ruan, "Madam Huo, besides confirming that the murderer was three vampires, we have also detected poison in the victim’s blood from the scene.

Based on the external inspection of the victim’s body at the scene, we initially suspected that the toxin was carried by the retired elder of the Huo Family. It’s rather troubling to think that someone of his age is still involved with poison. If word of this gets out, it’s likely to provoke external speculation, making it hard not to suspect the Huo Family."

Qin Ruan didn’t make a sound, her gaze intensely fixed on Cai Yongliang.

Standing to the side, Huo Zhi let out a cold laugh, "Mr. Cai, your claim is rather far-fetched. With so much blood at the scene, who can confirm that it was the retired elder of the Huo Family who came into contact with the poison? Even if there is concrete evidence, it has nothing to do with the Huo Family.

For many years, the Huo Family has invested substantial funds in prohibiting the import of toxins, spending up to several billion US dollars annually. All industries under the Huo Family’s name refuse to cooperate with any industry chain associated with toxins. Are you sure you want to make a mountain out of a molehill with this?"

Her attitude was lofty, her aura imposing, almost threatening in tone.

Not to mention a retired elder of the Huo Family, even if a current elder encountered the poison, the Huo Family could dismiss the person without batting an eye, preserving their centuries-old reputation unblemished.

Cai Yongliang wanted to slander the Huo Family with allegations of involvement with toxins just by snapping his fingers, suggesting he was too carefree.

Qin Ruan’s expression darkened, while Cai Yongliang remained unflustered, speaking in a calm tone, "This matter, if leaked, would inevitably tarnish the Huo Family’s reputation. This evidence I hold is the only copy, unseen by anyone but my mentor."

To show his sincerity, he extended both hands with the forensic report towards Qin Ruan, "I assure you this matter will not leak."

Throughout the conversation, his sharp gaze never left Qin Ruan, observing every change in her facial expression.

"Thank you then," Qin Ruan took the forensic report, and a pale blue flame rose from her palm, consuming the report in an instant, turning it to ash.

This show of force caught in Cai Yongliang’s eyes caused a momentary crack in his composed expression.

His eyes downcast, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, internally regretting this probe.

Qin Ruan, as if she had done nothing, lightly twirled her fair fingertips and smiled at Cai Yongliang, "Vampires are supernatural creatures from legends, sustaining themselves by consuming the blood of humans or other beings.

If the victim’s blood truly contained poison, it wouldn’t be a bad opportunity to capture them. If nothing unexpected happens, I could help the Tianxing Team apprehend them before dawn tomorrow."

This was a sweetener for Cai Yongliang, a return favor for the previously destroyed report.

Cai Yongliang spoke respectfully, his demeanor more rigorous than before, "In that case, the effort is much appreciated, Madam Huo. Tianxing Team will surely cooperate fully with any requests."

"Not at all—"

Qin Ruan waved him off, her expression listless.

Cai Yongliang pursed his lips, wanting to say more, but seeing her distressed expression, he nodded slightly and turned to leave.

As soon as he was out of sight, Huo Zhi’s anger slightly softened, her tone harsh, "Madam, that old fox clearly wanted your help, using the forensic report as an excuse. He’s taking advantage of your good nature!

If it were the second or third master dealing with this matter, that old thing wouldn’t dare to speak as he did; a single glance from the masters would’ve sent him running scared!"

Her words were relatively restrained. Cai Yongliang wasn’t taking advantage of Qin Ruan’s approachability but rather testing her due to her relatively recent involvement with the Huo Family.

Qin Ruan looked indifferent, her placid eyes gazing into the distance across the lawn, her voice steady, "I know, ever since I got involved with HEA Group’s affairs, many people have been testing me both openly and secretly, but Cai Chu has no ill intentions."

She had grown accustomed to such events and did not take them to heart.

However, last night’s deaths, caused by someone consumed by poison, surprised her, involving a retired elder from the Huo Family. The matter wasn’t significant nor trivial—who knew what dirty secrets lurked behind it?

Qin Ruan slightly furrowed her brow and ordered in a deep voice, "Huo Zhi, have Huo Qiang personally investigate who touched what they shouldn’t have among the seven people who died last night. If it really was one of our own, trace it back to the source to ensure it doesn’t tarnish the Huo Family’s reputation."

Huo Zhi replied, "Yes, I will inform the boss."

"Arrange it now, I will take a walk ahead."

Qin Ruan took the black umbrella from her hand and headed towards the lawn she had been observing, where there was a white building obscured by trees.

She thought that if someone were living inside, the commotion from last night’s incident would have alarmed the residents.

Huo Zhi stood still; this time he didn’t follow.

Still, seeing Qin Ruan leave alone made him uneasy. He gestured to his subordinates standing far behind to follow the Madam.

Crossing through the sparse forest, Qin Ruan could finally see the whole appearance of the white building—an old, abandoned church.

Judging by the dilapidated exterior of the walls, it seemed unlikely that anyone lived inside.

Disappointed at heart, Qin Ruan didn’t stop her steps; the Hidden Guards of the Huo Family followed her at a moderate distance.

The appearance of the old church gave an impression of profound heritage, despite its decrepit religious aura and thick dust on the solid old wooden door.

Qin Ruan stood in front of the door, lifted her leg clad in white flat casual shoes, and touched the old door with slight force—the piercing sound rang out, the door opened, and dust flew towards her.

The Hidden Guard behind her stepped forward and cautiously said, "Madam, let us check inside first."

Qin Ruan hummed in response, stepping back to avoid the dust.

She didn’t wait outside long before one of the Hidden Guards came out from the church, bowed respectfully, and reported, "Madam, there is no one inside. The environment is very dirty; it has been abandoned for too long."

"I’ll take a look."

Qin Ruan held the black umbrella in one hand and covered her nose and mouth with a lemon-scented handkerchief with the other as she stepped into the church.

Inside, it was more than just untidy and bad—it was a complete ruin. The floor was covered in thick dust, spider webs cloaked the dim corners, and tables and chairs with missing legs and arms were strewn about, with a heavy red canvas discarded in a corner.

Qin Ruan wrinkled her brow and did not proceed further, her beautiful eyes scrutinizing the small church with a critical gaze.

Suddenly, her nose twitched, detecting an unusual scent in the air through the handkerchief.

She removed the handkerchief covering her nose and mouth, her sharp eyes staring straight at the red cross on the wall, partially obscured by spider webs, from which a faint smell of blood emanated.

Qin Ruan spoke in a deep voice, commanding the Hidden Guards, "You all, get out!"

The church’s Hidden Guards, all subordinates of Huo Zhi, and often working alongside Qin Ruan, knew her resolute nature well.

However, considering the Madam was pregnant, they hesitated.

Seeing them waver, Qin Ruan shouted fiercely, "Leave, if you don’t want to die!"
