Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Qin Ruan Meets the Elders of Huo Family for the First Time

The driver licked his lips nervously, attempting to relieve his anxiety by striking up a conversation with the passenger in the car. "Miss, what do you do for a living? Your attire suggests you’re a white-collar office worker, right?"

The woman passenger at the back seat remained silent for a long while.

The driver gripped the steering wheel, glancing back at her quickly.

That glance, pure horror filled his eyes.

The steering wheel slipped from his panic-stricken hands. He didn’t even have time to hit the brakes, and the car veered directly to the right.

There was pitch darkness in that direction, as if countless hands were stretching out from the darkness, waiting to devour their prey.

"Bang!"

The car hit something, giving off a loud crash.

The car headlights trembled a bit, then went completely out.

The surroundings plunged into darkness where one couldn’t see their hand in front of their face.

"Aaaah!"

Soon after, a miserable shriek erupted from the taxi cab engulfed by darkness.

A strange sound echoed in the dark.

It was a viscid sound that sent shivers down one’s spine, accompanied by a familiar low roar of despair.

The despairing, terrified voice belonged to the taxi driver.

"Clip-clop, clip-clop..."

After a long while, the sound of high heels clicking on the ground can be heard in the darkness.

The sound was getting closer.

But the darkness meant that no one could be seen.

The air was permeated with a strong, nauseating smell of blood.

Suddenly, the taxi cab’s lights flashed once.

They flickered several times, then stayed brightly lit.

All surrounding objects became visible.

The taxi ran into the trees on the right side of the road, the impact had flung open the hood, deforming the front of the car.

A drip-drip sound came from inside the car.

A look inside revealed a sickening scene that was enough to make one vomit.

The driver who was chatting just moments ago was now sprawled across the passenger seat in a grotesque position.

His legs were covered by the driver-side airbag that had deployed due to the collision.

He appeared as if he had been violently yanked onto the front passenger seat, his body twisting in ways that challenged human limits.

The driver had a bloody hole in his chest area, hollow on the inside.

Human tissue was visible in the bloodied hole - his heart was nowhere to be found.

Bright red blood was spurting from the wound, pooling on the seat and dripping into a puddle of blood beneath the front passenger seat.

The hair-raising, dense drip-drip sound could be heard from this source.

A look at the driver’s face revealed his expressions of panic, ferocity, pain, and despair.

His eyes, wide open even in death, still held the fear he felt in his final moments.

The agony he must have suffered mentally and physically in his last moments could be gleaned from his facial expression.

"Clip-clop, clip-clop..."

The crisp sound of high heels on the ground gradually faded away.

Following the sound, the silhouette of a woman in a blue dress was visible.

As the figure of the woman receded, bloodstains followed in her wake on the ground.

...

The next day, at the Huo Mansion.

Qin Ruan opened her eyes, finding herself lying on Huo Yunjiao’s side bed.

She had no recollection of what had happened after she fell asleep in the car the previous night.

Thinking about her class that morning, she quickly got up to wash and get ready.

Qin Ruan opened the bedroom door and this time, she didn’t see Huo Yunjiao in the master bedroom.

She breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door, and headed downstairs.

The first-floor living room.

Huo Yunjiao was sitting in the hall, talking to the old Huo patriarch and her father, Huo Hongxing.

Qin Ruan’s descent had attracted the attention of everyone in the room, several pairs of eyes focused on her.

She saw an energetic old man sitting next to Huo Yunjiao, and an authoritative middle-aged man with a strong aura.

Huo Zhi and Huo Chuan stood not very far, their demeanor submissive and respectful.

When a number of pairs of eyes turned toward her, Qin Ruan halted in her tracks.
