Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!
Chapter 414: Huo Yunjiao: Why Don’t Ruanruan Ask Him Directly?

Chapter 414: Chapter 414: Huo Yunjiao: Why Don’t Ruanruan Ask Him Directly?

Huo Yunjiao suggested, "That’s good, let’s go visit your father another day when we’re free?"

Thinking of the lingering spirits of Han Xian and Han Kexin in the mortal world, Qin Ruan showed a worried expression.

She replied off-topic: "I plan to go home and stay for a few days in the next few days."

Huo Yunjiao raised an eyebrow slightly: "What made you think of going back home?"

In the past, there were always signs before Qin Ruan went home. This time, it seemed like a sudden decision.

Qin Ruan casually found an excuse: "My dad is too lonely at home by himself. I want to keep him company for a few days."

Huo Yunjiao proposed, "Shall I go with you?"

"No need, I’m just staying for a couple of days. The security system at the Qin Family is not as stringent as at the Huo Family."

Qin Ruan thought about how most malicious spirits were afraid of the aura emanating from him. If he really followed her to the Qin’s house, Han Xian and Han Kexin might get scared off.

Huo Yunjiao asked, "When are you planning to go home?"

Qin Ruan: "After I solve the matter at hand."

"The case of Lu Han."

"Yes."

"Let Huo Zhi accompany you back."

"Okay." Qin Ruan nodded, not refusing.

She glanced at Li Manning shivering at the restaurant entrance and got up to leave, "I’m leaving first."

Huo Yunjiao: "Be careful on your way."

"I know."

Qin Ruan stepped away.

When she got to Li Manning, she suddenly looked back and asked, "Can I ask how Lin Hao became a spy for the Huo family?"

A faint smirk appeared on Huo Yunjiao’s face, his deep and affectionate eyes narrowed with amusement, but he remained silent.

Qin Ruan sighed softly: "Three years ago, Lin Hao was doing quite well in West City, then he suddenly disappeared. I just can’t understand how he ended up with the Huo family."

Huo Yunjiao: "Why don’t you ask him personally, Ruanruan."

Qin Ruan raised an eyebrow: "You can’t tell me?"

Huo Yunjiao shook his head at her with a smile.

"Fine."

Qin Ruan turned to leave, this time really leaving.

As she exited the hall, Huo Zhi and Lin Hao were already waiting for her in front of the car.

"Madam."

They called out in unison.

Qin Ruan walked up to Lin Hao, noting his matching outfit with Huo Zhi.

Her gaze moved up, taking in the scars marring his face.

Qin Ruan clicked her tongue lightly: "Brother Hao, it’s been three years, your face hasn’t changed much, but those scars have really messed with your handsome look."

Lin Hao self-mocked: "Don’t make fun of me, Madam. I’m just a simple man, I don’t have any image to upkeep."

Qin Ruan squinted her eyes, recalling the past in West City: "Back then, Wolf Brother Hao of West City had many girls going crazy for him. They would scream for you, praying for just a glance from you, even more hoping for a brief love affair.

As a favored person by Elder Jiang, even if it wasn’t for your good looks, women would still be lured by your power and considerate voice to get close to you."

Remembering his time in West City, a nostalgic expression crossed Lin Hao’s face.

"It seems you really enjoyed your life in West City."

Qin Ruan left this ambiguous statement hanging, passed Lin Hao, and got into the car.

Huo Zhi, standing nearby, watched Lin Hao with a cold, furrowed brow.

This man gave her an uncomfortable feeling. He was attracting too much of Madam’s attention, which was not a good omen.

Servants must know their place. Once they crossed that boundary, they were not far from courting death.

With an icy tone, Huo Zhi said to Lin Hao, "Get in."

With that, she opened the driver’s side door and climbed into the car.

With a deadpan expression, Lin Hao went around the car and got into the passenger seat.

The car slowly pulls away from the Huo mansion.

...

Once in the car, Qin Ruan takes out her phone and opens the WeChat group ’His Highness, Emperor Beitai’.

Qiao Nanyuan and Qiao Jiu have already returned to the Capital City. They are from the Maoshan Sect, and for the matter of recovering the soul of Li Manning’s son, Xiaobao, they can be considered experts within the industry.

It’s not that Qin Ruan can’t summon envoys from the Netherworld to look for Xiaobao’s departed soul.

Mortal affairs should be best solved by mortals.

She doesn’t want to over-rely on the netherworld’s envoys, especially since there has been a shortage of them recently.

Qin Ruan mentioned Qiao Nanyuan and Qiao Jiu in the group chat, asking if they were home.

Maoshan Jiuguniang: [Yes, yes. Ruan sister, when are you coming over?]

Qin Ruan had told the master and apprentice last night that she was seeking their help, and Qiao Nanyuan and Qiao Jiu had been waiting for her.

Qin Ruan: [I’m already on my way.]

Maoshan Jiuguniang: [Great! Have you had dinner, Ruan sister? I made some snacks, do you want to try some?]

Qin Ruan: [I have eaten.]

Qiao Jiu sent a disappointed emoji.

Qin Ruan chuckled lightly and replied, [I can try your snacks, they won’t take up much space in my stomach.]

Maoshan Jiuguniang: [Yeah, yeah, we’re waiting for you~]

Qin Ruan sent an OK gesture emoji, then shut off her phone.

She glanced to the side, her expression tense but expectant as she looked at Li Manning.

The latter looked eagerly at Qin Ruan, "Can we really find Xiaobao?"

Qin Ruan’s tone was calm, "As long as his soul is still in the mortal world, there’s a 90% chance we can find him."

Li Manning’s face didn’t look too good, "What about the remaining 10%?"

In a solemn voice, Qin Ruan said, "If the remaining 10% happens, leave it to me. As long as the soul hasn’t dispersed, I will definitely find him."

Lin Hao, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, turned around and gave Qin Ruan a puzzled look, "Who are you talking to?"

The driver, Huo Zhi, said coldly, "Don’t forget who you are speaking to!"

Rolling his eyes, Lin Hao rephrased his question, "Madam, who are you talking to?"

Qin Ruan calmly replied, "No one."

She wasn’t entirely wrong. Li Manning was not a person right now, but a departed soul that had turned into a puppet spirit shortly after death.

Lin Hao glanced at Qin Ruan’s ear, not noticing a Bluetooth device. If she had been taking a phone call, that would explain it.

But there was no one else in the backseat. Her talking to herself was rather peculiar.

He could clearly hear Qin Ruan mentioning souls and the word ’mortals’. Her obscure murmuring made no sense at all.

Li Manning had been interrupted in her conversation with Qin Ruan, and a displeased cold aura enveloped her.

With eyes full of anger, her head suddenly detached from the body and flew towards Lin Hao’s face.

Lin Hao felt a chill hit him full in the face. He shivered, "Why is it suddenly so cold?"

Li Manning’s floating head in the car, with blood-red eyes fixed on Lin Hao.

Her face was hideous as she suddenly opened her wide bloody mouth.

"Li Manning!"

Puppet energy could cause significant harm to humans, and Qin Ruan prevented Li Manning from attacking Lin Hao.

Li Manning turned her head and looked at Qin Ruan with an intense gaze.

Feeling the pressure and clearly aware that she was no match for Qin Ruan, Li Manning’s head reluctantly returned to its original position.

Lin Hao was still clueless that he had almost been attacked by the puppet energy. He asked, "Is Li Manning that actress who died recently?"

That he knew of Li Manning did not surprise Qin Ruan.

The top celeb in the industry and the dream girl of many men.

Qin Ruan narrowed her eyes into a smile as she asked Lin Hao, "Do you like her too?"
