Chapter 394: Chapter 394: Li Manning Holds Grudges, Lu Han Comes to Her Door

This major traffic accident was almost identical to the incident involving Li Manning’s agent.

The studio’s commercial vehicle collided with a van, leaving the van’s driver unscathed and causing nine deaths among those in the commercial vehicle.

Surveillance footage showed that, just like Li Manning’s agent, the members in the commercial vehicle suddenly drove frantically in one direction. The apparent self-exclusion was shocking to witness.

The incident caused quite the uproar and countless internet users chimed in, adding fuel to the flames.

The authorities took the matter very seriously, putting pressure on the investigations to conclude swiftly and cleaning up the online environment.

Tasked with handling this case was Lu Han, who was on the verge of retirement.

They prepared to interrogate the only survivor from these incidents, the public relations person from Li Manning’s studio.

She had previously tripped and fell down the stairs in her apartment complex, fracturing and shattering her leg, which left her permanently disabled.

Upon their arrival at her residence, Lu Han’s subordinates found her dead.

In a gruesome state, she was cut into pieces and placed inside a refrigerator.

Upon learning of this, Lu Han also went to the crime scene.

He watched as the forensic technician pulled out chunks of body matter from the refrigerator.

Apart from the smell of blood, there wasn’t overly any strong odor in the room.

Nevertheless, the scene was incredibly eerie and horrifying.

That wasn’t the end of it.

After the public relations woman’s death, there were still other members of the studio alive. Lu Han dispatched his men to individually question the remaining members of Li Manning’s studio and those who had close contact with her.

The progress was less than smooth, as these people didn’t know much about Li Manning.

The only breakthrough they discovered was that Li Manning’s parents were extremely strict with her. All her activities and performances were decided by her parents.

It’s fair to say that those parents had keen eyes. The majority of the roles they had chosen for Li Manning were hugely successful, enhancing her fame and elevating her to become one of the leading ladies of the entertainment industry.

Then there was an inconspicuous intern at the studio who mentioned that Li Manning seemed to have a boyfriend, though who that might be was unclear to everyone.

The case wasn’t progressing well, and Lu Han decided to increase manpower and expand the investigation.

During this period, another murder occurred.

One of the members of Li Manning’s studio who had previously been interrogated by them was found dead at home. He looked very peaceful, as if he hadn’t suffered at all.

The deceased was the intern who had informed them of Li Manning’s boyfriend.

Autopsy results showed that he died of a heart attack. How much of that was true, everyone knew deep down.

Following this, others in the studio that were controlled by Li Manning’s parents were also affected and questioned by the department.

Although no one was killed, there were various accidents of all sizes.

With the number of people affected increasing, Lu Han sought out Lun Wenbin from the Jade Star Sect, hoping that he could step in and help solve the case swiftly.

Upon hearing of this, Lun Wenbin immediately refused and only said one sentence.

Li Manning’s unsettled spirit and heavy resentment were too much for his limited abilities.

His straightforward rejection gave Lu Han a headache.

After being refused by Lun Wenbin, Qin Ruan sprang to his mind.

However, being a member of the Huo Family, she brought with her considerable hesitation.

It wasn’t until news came through in the morning that one of their key protection targets had an accident, that Lu Han finally decided to call Qin Ruan.

When Qin Ruan answered Lu Han’s call, she was flipping through a pregnancy handbook.

Upon learning that she was carrying twins, she became extremely focused on the well-being of her unborn children.

What happened in her previous life was over, and dwelling on it had no purpose now.

In this life, whether she was having one or two babies, she was determined to give birth to them safely.

When her phone rang, Qin Ruan didn’t look away from the book in her hand, instead reaching out to grope for her phone on the desk.

Without raising her head, she slid across the screen to pick up the call and brought the phone to her ear.

"Hello?"

A fastidious voice sounded, "Madam Huo, this is Lu Han."

Qin Ruan froze briefly, a touch of confusion appearing in her eyes, "What’s the matter?"

The two didn’t have much of a relationship. He wouldn’t call her unless he had to.

Lu Han didn’t beat around the bush and spoke bluntly, "I wanted to ask for Madam Huo’s help on something."

His tone was overly somber, with a hint of hesitation.

Qin Ruan put down the book in her hand, her fingernails lightly tapping the desk, over and over again.

She thought of the recent Li Manning incident and asked, "What is it?"

Lu Han relayed the events of this past week and concluded with a tone of plea, "The individual from Jade Star Sect, Lun Dao Ren, says that he is unable to take on this case. I suspect Madam Huo may be able to provide some clues. This is my last case before retirement, so I hope Madam Huo could do me a favor."

"Uncle Lun refused?" Qin Ruan asked in surprise.

In her view, this was simply a case of an unsettled ghost at work.

If Lun Wenbin and Qiao Nanyuan took action, they would have been able to resolve it.

She had seen both their capabilities and they certainly wouldn’t have been unable to stop Li Manning’s killing spree.

Lu Han confirmed in a heavy tone, "Correct, Lun Dao Ren says that Li Manning’s ghost is not put to rest, harboring too much resentment, hence his abilities are limited."

That’s just a pretext.

If Lun Wenbin can’t even handle a ghost that only recently died, his abilities come into question.

Qin Ruan was confident that based on his abilities, dealing with Li Manning’s spirit wouldn’t be as easy as pie, but it certainly wouldn’t be beyond his abilities.

After a long silence, Lu Han called out from the other end, "Madam Huo?"

"I’m here. I’ll consider your proposition and get back to you later."

"Alright, I’ll await Madam Huo’s good news."

Qin Ruan disconnected the call, and opened the WeChat group named [Emperor Beitai Above All].

The group was quiet today, save for the greetings from Mao Shan Jiuguniang and Qingcheng Wei Xishi; no one else had sent any messages.

Qin Ruan scrolled to Lun Wenbin’s WeChat, opened up his chat window, and initiated a video call directly.

It was as if he had been waiting, the moment Qin Ruan dialled, Lun Wenbin picked up the call.

Lun Wenbin’s smiling face appeared on the large screen.

"I knew I would be blessed with good news today when I heard the magpies chirping this morning. It turns out that Daoist friend Qin was thinking of me," he said cheerfully.

At this, Qin Ruan couldn’t help but laugh and said playfully, "Uncle Lun, I love listening to you, always brings joy to my heart."

Lun Wenbin let out a hearty laugh: "If you enjoy it, we can chat anytime you want, as long as you don’t mind my chattering hahaha..."

Qin Ruan wrapped her fingers around her belly, her expression relaxed.

She guessed that he must be at home, as she could hear a woman’s voice in the background calling for Lun Wenbin to come to eat.

Qin Ruan didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly, "Uncle Lun, I heard that Lu Han invited you to help with the Li Manning murder case, and you refused?"

Mentioning this matter, the smile on Lun Wenbin’s face disappeared.

With knitted brows, he replied, "Yes, this case is far from simple."

"Oh?" said Qin Ruan, her eyebrows lifting in intrigue.
