Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Qin Anguo, Qin Jingcen Returns to the Country

"The agents of the Hidden Department have always been closely watching the Su Family, ensuring they do no harm to the Third Young Master’s Madam."

Huo Qiang spoke with a stern expression and a solemn, low voice.

He knew the Second Master was still concerned about the incident at the Imperial Court Hotel where the Third Master was plotted against, which led to some dissatisfaction with the Hidden Department.

Because of the marriage between the Su and Huo families, the Hidden Department let down their guard towards the Su family during their investigation, failing to uncover any insider information.

This was indeed a dereliction of duty by the Hidden Department.

Huo Yirong asked, "Has the Su Family made any other moves?"

"Yes." Huo Qiang nodded, "Miss Su Jingshu’s child was aborted last night, and the child’s natural father was drowned in the deep sea last night."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yirong laughed, his smile suggesting a deep-set irony. "Whose order was that?"

"Miss Su Jingshu herself."

As soon as Huo Qiang said this, Huo Yirong was caught off guard.

Immediately, he chuckled lightly, looking at Huo Qiang with a hint of puzzlement, "Are you sure?"

"Certain, everything regarding the Su family is currently under the control of the Hidden Department."

When Huo Qiang said this, his certainty was undoubtedly convincing.

"I underestimated this woman," the Second Master said, "What are the movements of the other aristocratic families?"

Huo Qiang replied, "The Xiao Family and the Nangong Family have been rather quiet."

The Xiao Family and the Nangong Family are two of the six major families in Capital City and they have been frequently up to small maneuvers in recent years.

Upon discovering that the Su Family planned against Huo Yunjiao at the Imperial Court Hotel, he abducted Su Jingshu as a statement of intent.

The Huo Family’s fallout with the Su Family was widely known, serving as a stern warning to other restless aristocratic families.

It seems that their display of power has indeed achieved its effect, but the so-called ’mountain’ still can’t seem to find its place.

Huo Yirong frowned slightly, asking, "The Xiao family... am I correct in remembering that the current Family Head of the Lu Family’s late wife was from the Xiao family?"

Huo Qiang replied, "Yes, ever since Lady Lu passed away, the relationship between the Lu family and the Xiao family hasn’t been very good."

Huo Yirong mused, "Arrange a meeting with Lu Han when you have the time."

Lu Han hails from one of the four great families, the Lu Family, and he is the next successor to the Lu Family.

Since the passing of his biological mother, who was from the Xiao Family, the relationship between the Lu and Xiao families hasn’t been totally severed, but it is nowhere near as cordial as when Lady Lu was alive.

Huo Qiang asked, "Should we extend the invitation in your name or the Third Master’s?"

After all, as the next successor of the Lu Family, formality is key.

"My younger brother hasn’t been feeling very well these days, I will meet him."

Huo Yirong’s voice was thin, the concern in his words difficult to hide.

He visited Huo Yunjiao at noon and found him looking pale and sallow, which meant that he was unwell again.

"Understood, I will take care of it immediately."

"Go now. I will be alone for a while."

"Yes––"

As Huo Qiang left, Huo Yirong remained alone on the balcony.

...

At that moment, Qin Ruan was driving her Maserati, a gift from her father Qin Anguo, back to the Qin residence.

She had just finished lunch and was preparing to compile the summary of Wei Linchen’s morning lesson, when she received a call from home.

Her father and older brother had returned home.

Upon hearing the news, Qin Ruan didn’t feel happy but rather, apprehensive.

She thought about her previous life.

After her father and older brother returned home, it was just four months before her family’s downfall.

During those four months, the Qin family would undergo a tumultuous shift.

After her father’s return, he would realize something was amiss with Han Xian, leading to his death plotted by Han Xian and her uncle.

Following that, her pregnancy would be discovered by Han Xian and Han Kexin, she would be trapped in their design and ultimately, sent to prison.

After her father’s death, her older brother hastily took over the company, but everything didn’t develop in a good direction.
