Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!
Chapter 395 Nicholas, have you been bitten by a dog?

Chapter 395: Chapter 395 Nicholas, have you been bitten by a dog?

Lun Wenbin sighed softly and slowly started, "I turned down Director Lu’s offer because I had personally seen Li Manning’s ghost before. She’s not as simple as we thought. The ghost of someone who’s been dead for less than half a month, yet carries a century worth of Puppet Power."

"That’s not the main point. The important thing is she’s not afraid of me, she even dared to provoke me. You know how we are in this line of work, even when someone dares to provoke us, we remember it for a long time, let alone an Evil Puppet."

"When she provoked me like that, I wanted to teach her a lesson, to show her that a Heavenly Master is the nemesis of evil spirits. But when I attempted to, I almost lost. She wasn’t even afraid of my talisman, or even my Magic Artifact."

"Honestly, if she hadn’t shown mercy, I might have lost my life back then."

By the end of his story, Lun Wenbin felt quite emotional. His voice betrayed his complex feelings.

Qin Ruan curiously asked, "Where did you see her?"

Lun Wenbin: "Under a relative’s apartment building."

"What’s the name of the apartment complex?"

Lun Wenbin named the apartment complex.

Qin Ruan heard the urgent voice of a woman, urging him to eat his meal, on the other side of the line.

She laughed and said, "Uncle Lun, you should go eat your meal. I think I understand the situation well enough, I won’t bother you further."

Lun Wenbin nodded and asked, "Are you going to take on this case?"

Qin Ruan corners of her lips upturned, but her smile was devoid of warmth, "Too many people have died."

She didn’t say whether she would participate or not, but her words have already spoken volume about her stance.

The power given to her by the Underworld King is meant for her to clear away the world from evil spirits, monsters and malevolent entities.

This is her duty and is irrefutable.

If Li Manning continues to kill, and the souls of those who’ve died appeal to the Netherworld, she’ll be liable.

Lun Wenbin understood that she intended to get involved and admonished, "Be careful, Master Qin. If anything happens, give me a call. I’ll be there."

"Thank you."

After thanking him, Qin Ruan ended the video call.

She exited the WeChat interface and dialed Lu Han’s number.

Lu Han picked up quickly, "Madam Huo."

Qin Ruan informed Lu Han the name of Lun Wenbin’s relative’s apartment complex and asked, "Have there been any incidents related to Li Manning there before?"

"Yes!" Lu Han responded without hesitation, "One of the members of her studio was found dead at home. He’s the victim who didn’t suffer too much."

Qin Ruan sighed softly, "I see."

It’s very likely that Li Manning bumped into Lun Wenbin while committing another murder.

The two clashed, and after realizing he couldn’t deal with her, Lun Wenbin refused Lu Han’s invitation.

In a nervous tone, Lu Han asked, "So, does this mean that Mrs. Huo’s going to...?"

Qin Ruan knew what he wanted to ask. In a detached tone, she said, "I’m always available."

In his excitement, Lu Han asked, "Should I send someone to pick you up now?"

Qin Ruan refused, "No need to bother, I’ll be there shortly."

"Thank you, Mrs. Huo. I’m really grateful."

As for his thanks, Qin Ruan accepted it.

This case is Lu Han’s last before his retirement, and who wouldn’t want it to end on a high note?

If the Li Manning incident continues, even if Lu Han doesn’t seek her out, Qin Ruan would still take the initiative to deal with it.

There’s a difference in meaning between her taking the initiative and Lu Han proactively seeking her help.

Qin Ruan closed the book on her table and left her bedroom.

When she went downstairs, she saw that Huo Yirong had arrived and was chatting with Grandfather.

Her gaze swept across the living room and landed on Huo Zhi, who was standing not far away, chatting with Huo Chuan.

Seeing Qin Ruan come down, Huo Yirong smilingly called out, "Little sister, you look well today."

Qin Ruan’s gloomy mood from the past few days had improved significantly. She replied teasingly, "Eating and sleeping well every day. If I didn’t look good, it would be an insult to grandfather’s hard work in feeding and caring for me."

Grandfather smiled, his gaze lingering on Qin Ruan, "Are you going out?"

"How did you know?" Qin Ruan was surprised.

Grandfather’s demeanor was composed, his voice calm, "The moment you came downstairs, you looked for Huo Zhi. I assumed that you were planning to go out."

Qin Ruan nodded, "I am. Lu Han has asked me to look into a case."

Huo Yirong’s usually amiable face turned cold, and he sneered, "That Lu Han is quite bold. You’re pregnant, and he still dares to seek for your help. What case is so big that needs the Huo family’s involvement? Are all the employees under him useless?"

Grandfather agreed with this, his eyes filled with worry. He asked Qin Ruan, "Is it dangerous?"

A helpless look flashed across Qin Ruan’s face. This wasn’t a situation where she could simply not get involved if Lu Han didn’t ask for her help.

She softly said, "I’m not sure yet. I’ll find out when I get there."

Grandfather glanced at Huo Zhi, who was still talking to Huo Chuan, and shared his worries about Qin Ruan’s visit, "Bring Huo Chuan with you, and look after yourself. Don’t be reckless."

Qin Ruan: "I understand."

Grandfather stood up, came over to her, and spoke softly, "Donald has been pressing on for a few days. When you have time, remove the curse from him so they can leave early. Stop messing around with him, it’s bothering everyone."

He’s bothered to the point of having a headache, hearing Nicholas’s howls day in and day out.

A few days ago, Qin Ruan wasn’t in a good mood, so the task of removing the curse from Donald’s body was delayed.

Donald has been upset about this and making a fuss. He’s just short of directly confronting Qin Ruan and forcing her to remove the curse so he can quickly return to the US.

Grandfather has been preventing him from disturbing Qin Ruan until she had adjusted her mood. He hadn’t informed her about it until now.

Today, seeing that she was in a good mood, he brought it up.

Qin Ruan showed a hint of apology, "I forgot about this matter... why don’t we invite them over now?"

Regardless of the matter on Lu Han’s side which isn’t a problem that can be solved in a short time.

Donald and Nicholas are still at the Huo family residence which made Qin Ruan a bit conscious.

One is a member of the Blood Clan, and the other is a US weapons tycoon. If it’s known to outsiders that they’ve been staying in the Huo family for a long time, it might bring problems.

Grandfather gently asked, "Not in a hurry to see Lu Han?"

Listening to his words, Qin Ruan didn’t think too much and replied with a laugh, "Even if I’m in a hurry, it’s not a matter that can be solved in a short time. Might as well deal with Donald first, it’s my fault for delaying his trip after all."

"I’ll have them called over."

Grandfather waved at Huo Chuan.

The latter understood instantly and left the house.

When Donald and Nicholas arrived, Grandfather, Qin Ruan, Huo Yirong and others were dumbfounded at seeing both of them.

Nicholas’s exposed skin was covered in bite marks that seemed to have seeped into his skin.

Remembering the howls and cries coming from the Guest area over the past few days, Grandfather looked at Nicholas sympathetically.

His eyes moved to Donald’s gloomy expression, he understood something, and his face revealed a profound expression.

Seeing his friend’s miserable state, Huo Yirong couldn’t help but stand up.

He pointed at Nicholas and was speechless for a moment.

After a while, he broke into a loud laughter, unable to straighten his waist from the mirth.

"Nicholas, were you bitten by a dog?"

Huo Yirong’s schadenfreude was obvious in his tone.
