Chapter 424: Chapter 424: Master San: Call out a few pleasing words, and your life will be spared.

Upon learning that Huo Zhi was not the traitor, Qin Ruan fell into confusion again and asked, "Then why send her to her death?!"

Huo Yunjiao spoke in a slow yet gentle tone: "No one else could handle this. Girl, some things can’t be explained in a few words. I’ll tell you more when you return."

Qin Ruan clicked her tongue, expressing her regret, "Isn’t there any foolproof plan? I quite like Huo Zhi."

Mr. Huo feigned anger: "Ruanruan, you’ll make me jealous saying that. You’ve never said you liked me."

Qin Ruan couldn’t see his expression, but she knew Mr. Huo was only teasing her.

He was such a tease, always taking the chance to flirt with her.

Narrowing her eyes slightly, she coughed softly and whispered into the phone: "Third brother, I don’t want Huo Zhi to die."

As soon as she finished her sentence, a look of distaste crossed her face.

That was way too mushy, she thought, it gave her goosebumps.

Her call of ’third brother’, her voice clear yet seductive, was irresistible to Huo Yunjiao.

It practically melted his heart.

Huo Yunjiao sighed: "Fine, as you wish."

His voice was so gentle it was saturated with fondness.

Qin Ruan finally felt relieved and asked with a smile: "You promise?"

Huo Yunjiao played along with her little game: "My word is my bond!"

Qin Ruan let out a sigh of relief and beamed: "Thank you, third brother."

Huo Zhi was indeed a good girl, patient and sensible, her demeanor much to Qin Ruan’s liking.

If something were to happen to her, Qin Ruan knew she wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Huo Yunjiao said quietly: "As long as you don’t keep switching between ’third brother’ when you’re in trouble and when you’re not, I will give you my life just to hear you call me more sweetly."

Hearing these words, he was attrcating her again.

When Mr. Huo decided to attract someone, it could be life-threatening.

What little girl, upon hearing these words, wouldn’t feel her heart beating fast and hard in her chest?

Qin Ruan rubbed her forehead in defeat. How hadn’t she noticed this in her past life, that Third Master was such a flirt? She thought he was the cold, restrained sort.

Of course, she would never admit to switching between calling him ’third brother’.

The main reason was that every time she did call him that, it made her feel a sense of shame.

Taking the opportunity to change the topic, Qin Ruan asked, "What exactly happened? Why are you willing to let Huo Zhi go now?"

In her past life, Huo Zhi had always been beside Mr. Huo, up until he died half a year ago.

"Third brother, everyone’s here, I’ll leave first!"

The voice that came from the receiver was not Mr. Huo’s, but Huo Yirong’s.

Mr. Huo said gently to Qin Ruan: "Ruanruan, we’ll talk about this when you get back. I have something to deal with right now."

"You go ahead."

The moment Qin Ruan finished speaking, the call was hung up.

She looked down at her phone screen, still glowing, and the smile on her face faded away.

Qin Anguo came up to her with a worried look and asked, "Ruanruan, you look a bit pale. Are you okay?"

"I’m fine."

Qin Ruan shook her head slightly and stared at Huo Chuan: "Why did the third master get angry?"

During their brief conversation, Third Master was gentle and friendly towards her, and even flirted with her, but that didn’t mean Qin Ruan didn’t notice that he was holding back his anger.

She didn’t understand what could have caused the usually refined and poised Third Master to lose his temper.

Huo Chuan stared back, eyes filled with a sinister glow: "Earlier today, a private jet of the Huo family flying abroad was shot down in the south, completely destroyed with no survivors. Over ten people perished."

If anyone dared to lay a hand on the Huo Family within the country, it wouldn’t bode well.

Qin Ruan frowned: "Who were those on the plane?"

Huo Chuan responded simply: "People from the Huo family."

At the mention of ’People from the Huo family’, something exploded in Qin Ruan’s mind and her facial expression changed drastically.

Lin Hao was also from the Huo family, which she had confirmed through Third Master himself.

Qin Ruan yelled, "Lin Hao!"

"Yeah, I’m here!"

Lin Hao came out from the Qin family’s dining room, apple in hand, biting into it with a crunch.

Qin Ruan pointed at Lin Hao and asked Huo Chuan: "Do you know who he is?"

"I know." Huo Chuan nodded.

Huo Qiang had told him about Lin Hao’s true identity this morning.

Qin Ruan furrowed her brows: "If I hadn’t stopped Huo Qiang last night, would Lin Hao have been on that private jet?"

Huo Chuan’s eyes widened slightly, recalling the passenger list Huo Qiang had shown him this morning, Lin Hao’s name was indeed on the list.

He looked at Lin Hao and his gaze turned complex and strange.

It was indeed impressive that Lin Hao had survived.

Without Madam’s appearance last night, he would already be dead and buried.

Without waiting for Huo Chuan to answer, Qin Ruan already knew the answer from his expression.

Huo Chuan nodded at Qin Ruan: "Yes, he was on the list."

"What are you talking about?" Lin Hao, with his apple in hand, approached them, looking baffled.

He was not yet aware that he had had a brush with death.

Qin Ruan looked at Lin Hao from head to toe, her lips parting slightly: "Brother Hao, you owe me the rest of your life."

Lin Hao didn’t have the stiff discipline of Huo Chuan and Huo Zhi.

Upon hearing this, he casually sat on the couch in the Qin family’s hall, looked up with an indifferent expression, and said: "I was assigned to you by Third Master. I am yours now. If not you, who else would I serve?"

His words showed acceptance and even more willingness to obey.

Seeing Lin Hao acting like a regular around Qin Ruan and trying to get more friendly with her, Huo Chuan frowned, and stared at him disapprovingly.

Qin Ruan crossed her arms, watching Lin Hao closely, and said in a slow but dark tone: "If it weren’t for me, you’d be dead by now."

Lin Hao took a big bite from his apple. Because he opened his mouth too wide, his facial injuries hurt, causing him to wince for a moment.

Unfazed, he swallowed the apple in his mouth, looked into Qin Ruan’s meaningful eyes, smiled and said: "I know, the two envoys did say that I barely escaped the Netherworld. I would already be dead without you."

Qin Ruan: "I’m not joking with you. Just today, the Huo family’s private jet flying abroad was shot down in the south. Everyone on board was killed, not a single survivor."

Lin Hao’s apple-eating paused, his usual carefree expression gradually solidified.

"Really?"

His striking face tensed up, a savage atmosphere and a dangerous aura surrounding him.

Qin Ruan: "Yes, we just received the news."

"That’s impossible!" Lin Hao shot up from the couch, his eyes flashing with a sullen anger, "Were those three people we saved from the Su family on that plane?"

Huo Chuan looked at him sympathetically, speaking in a heavy tone: "Yes, they were!"

Lin Hao’s grip on the apple tightened, crushing it. There was a menacing glow in his eyes. He was releasing a strong killing intent, rather like a lethal blade.

Huo Chuan tried to calm him: "Second Master will personally handle this. Among those escorting the passengers were the trusted Hidden Guards of the Huo family. The Huo family won’t let this slide."
