Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Master San: Worried and Helpless towards Madame

Lu Han wasted no more time, turning around to finish packing the materials on the table.

With a file bag full of documents in his arms, he noticed Qin Mei’s brother, who was clinging to him and wouldn’t let go.

"I have to go back to the office for a while, do you want to come with me, or would you rather wait?"

Though Lu Yichen wasn’t clear about what exactly was happening.

He could tell from Qin Ruan’s conversation with his brother that there might be something unclean lingering around his brother.

How could he dare to get close to his brother then?

When it was time to give up brotherly loyalty, he would do so without hesitation.

At this moment, Lu Yichen no longer despised Qin Mei.

He looped his arm around Qin Mei’s, and said with utmost seriousness, "Bro, I feel a connection with this kid, and we’re planning to delve into the preciousness of life and existence together."

"Okay, then I’m leaving first. We’ll be in touch.", Lu Han said before hurriedly leaving, striding briskly away.

"Get off me, damned creature!"

As soon as Lu Han left, Qin Mei shook off Lu Yichen and stood up, acting as if nothing had happened.

"What did you just say?" Lu Yichen lowered his voice, and a dangerous anger lurked underneath his tone.

He wasn’t a man of good temper either, and being called a damned creature was a first for him.

The little brat in front of him sure had guts.

After straightening his clothes, Qin Mei cast a contemptuous glance at Lu Yichen.

"Aren’t you a dog indeed, slandering my sister and yet behaving as timid as a mouse, even abandoning your own brother? You truly are a dog!"

Lu Yichen stood up, grabbing Qin Mei by the collar.

"Aren’t you a dog as well? I don’t know which coward was clinging to me just now, unable to let go even when I pushed him away."

"I was just giving you a comforting hug because you looked so scared!" Qin Mei stated this without a hint of compliment or embarrassment.

Huo San stood up and came to Qin Ruan’s side, watching this childish quarrel with an intriguing expression.

Lu Yichen: "You damned dog!"

Qin Mei: "I’m not as dog-like as you!"

Lu Yichen: "Looking for a fight?"

Qin Mei: "Bring it on, we’ll see who backs down!"

Seeing the two rolling up their sleeves, ready for a fight,

Qin Ruan suddenly exclaimed, "There’s a puppet in the house!"

"..." Lu Yichen.

"..." Qin Mei.

The two men, who were ready for a man-to-man showdown just a moment ago, immediately embraced each other in the next second.

"Ruanruan, don’t scare me!"

"Junior sister, this joke isn’t funny at all!"

Lu Yichen and Qin Mei hugged each other tight, looking as if they had strong affections for each other.

But God knows, these two couldn’t stand each other and only wanted to drag the other down.

Qin Ruan, with a mischievous smile, said, "I tricked you."

As soon as her words fell, the two, who were tightly embracing each other, quickly let go, their eyes full of repulsion towards each other.

"You idiot, weren’t you scared?" Lu Yichen scoffed coldly.

With a provocative expression, Qin Mei shot back, "It’s not like you weren’t scared either, crawl away!"

"Watch your mouth!"

Seeing the two start bickering again, Qin Ruan tugged at Huo Yunjiao’s sleeve.

"I need to go out for a while, and I might not come back tonight."

Ever since she heard about the mysterious murders from the driver last night, she’s had a bold idea.

If she wanted to put her plan into action now, she’d need help from Qiao Family and his disciples.

Huo Yunjiao looked at Qin Ruan attentively and smiled faintly, "For the recent murder case?"

"Yes!"

Qin Ruan didn’t try to hide it from him and nodded in admission.

Huo Yunjiao looked at Qin Ruan with an intense gaze, emotions she couldn’t understand flashed in his eyes. Concern, maybe, or a sense of helplessness.

Before she could inquire further, San’s expression returned to its usual tenderness and indulgence.
