Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!
Chapter 425: Lin Hao’s experience, such a big bucket of dog blood

Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Lin Hao’s experience, such a big bucket of dog blood

Lin Hao was not placated. He disdainfully cast a glance at Huo Chuan and coldly said, "The man is already dead. What’s the point of saying these things? Can they bring him back to life?!"

He turned his head to look at Qin Ruan, earnestly requested, "Please call the Third Master for me. I’d like to go with him."

Without waiting for Qin Ruan to reply, Huo Chuan interjected, "You can’t go. Miss Su called the Third Master today to arrange a meeting with you tomorrow."

"I’m not meeting her!" Lin Hao’s eyes were bloodshot, his face revealing both sadness and rage.

The brother he had painstakingly rescued from the Su Family was taken away before they could even reunite.

When he saw Su Jingshu tomorrow, he couldn’t wait to kill this woman and avenge his brothers.

Su Jingshu was terrifyingly manipulative. If he hadn’t stayed at the Su Family for three years, and spent half a year near Su Jingshu, nobody could have imagined just how dark and cruel this seemingly gentle and scholarly woman really was.

The number of lives she had taken was even more than those taken by half the outlaws in West City combined.

Qin Ruan asked Huo Chuan, "When did Su Jingshu call the Third Master?"

It was not long after you had left," replied Huo Chuan.

Qin Ruan then asked, "Does Su Jingshu have anything to do with this incident?"

"It’s still unclear at the moment; the fact that the Second Master himself is handling it indicates the seriousness of the situation."

Qin Ruan nodded, telling Lin Hao, "Since the Second Master is personally involved, you just stay put and wait for the news."

Frustrated and with nowhere to vent his anger, Lin Hao’s face grew visibly sour when he was barred from the action.

However, he didn’t contradict Qin Ruan.

Qin Anguo was sitting at one side, his eyes slightly dull, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The danger Qin Ruan faced in the Huo family was far greater than he had expected.

It was uncertain whether the marriage alliance with the Huo family would turn out to be a blessing or a curse for the Qin family.

The power struggle among the prominent families in Capital City was complex, with ties intricately intertwined with the southern forces.

Unaware of Qin Anguo’s worries, Qin Ruan softly said, "Dad, I’ll go upstairs to rest."

Qin Anguo waved his hand, "Go ahead. I’ll call you when it’s time for dinner."

"Okay."

Qin Ruan gestured to Lin Hao, "You follow me."

With a rigid face, Lin Hao got up and followed.

Seeing this, Huo Chuan also rose to his feet and followed the two upstairs.

In the upstairs bedroom, Qin Ruan leaned against the railing of the balcony, one pair of beautiful eyes observed Lin Hao.

"Hao, why did you end up working for the Huo family?"

"I didn’t." Lin Hao shook his head, denying it.

Qin Ruan raised a corner of her lips and casually glanced at Lin Hao, "Then why do you do work for the Huo family, having been undercover at the Su Family for three years? What on earth happened three years ago that made you disappear from West City overnight?"

Lin Hao rubbed his temples, a troubled expression covering his strong, handsome face. "Qin Xiaowu, don’t ask anymore, I can’t tell you."

Qin Ruan was not so easily dismissed. she asked further, "Why can’t you tell me? I’m the wife of the Third Master. Isn’t a person from the Huo family allowed to ask?"

"No, the Third Master must give his permission before I can speak about it."

"The Third Master said I can ask you anything I want to know."

Lin Hao’s lips remained pressed tightly together, still refusing to reveal anything.

Even if he and Qin Ruan knew each other back in West City, she couldn’t just expect him to lay out everything simply.

Qin Ruan crossed her arms over her chest, "So you will really only talk if the Third Master gives his approval?"

Lin Hao nodded without hesitation.

Qin Ruan laughed, reaching out directly to call the Third Master with her phone and put it on speaker.

"Ruanruan?" As soon as the call was picked up, the Third Master’s gentle voice could be heard.

Qin Ruan stared at Lin Hao, speaking into the phone, "Third Master, Lin Hao is tight-lipped. He refuses to tell me anything about what happened three years ago without your approval."

A low chuckle came from the other end, and the Third Master’s voice was mild, "You can ask him anything you want to know. Tell him, I agree."

"Alright."

Qin Ruan hung up the phone, not giving the Third Master the chance to say anything more. A classic case of using people and discarding them without any guilt.

She raised an eyebrow at Lin Hao, a challenging look on her face, "Ready to talk now?"

The corner of Lin Hao’s mouth twitched slightly. In West City, Qin Xiaowu had been ruthless, her brows perennially displaying a trace of fierceness.

He had noticed the change in her since their meeting yesterday.

If it had been three years ago, he couldn’t have imagined Qin Ruan having soft and warm conversations with someone.

Lin Hao took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

He looked into Qin Ruan’s curious eyes and said softly, "Lord Jiang from West City is a part of the Huo family."

"..." Qin Ruan’s eyes widened.

Lord Jiang, the ruler of West City, had considerable influence.

Back then, without his protection, she didn’t know if she could have survived until now.

West City is a mixed bag where various forces intertwine, if someone really wants to harm her, no matter what she does, she wouldn’t be able to escape, openly or secretly.

She feels fortunate that Jiu Ye kept his word, allowing her to live worry-free in West City, with few people bothering her anymore.

But an underworld figure from West City, how did he become a member of the Huo Family?

This is a bit unbelievable.

The Huo Family is a high-ranking aristocratic family, while West City is where the poorest and most marginalized people live.

Considering West City to be on the same level as the Huo Family would be an exaggeration.

West City is the source of all evil, filthy, chaotic, yet it has a unique charm that attracts people who are at the end of the road. Qin Ruan had experienced it firsthand.

She slowly closed her mouth, looking surprised, "So, Jiu Ye arranged for you to enter the Su Family?"

"It wasn’t that simple."

Lin Hao walked over to Qin Ruan, propped his hand on the railing. The bad memories made him grip tightly, his hand visibly tensing.

"Back then, at the West City underground boxing ring’s bar, I somehow ended up sleeping with Su Jingshu. I just thought she was a decent woman from a wealthy family trying to experience new things at Jiu Ye’s venue.

I didn’t plan on having any further contact with her, we had a brief fling. But when I tried to leave the next day, I was stopped by people outside the hotel. That’s when I discovered I had slept with the Su Family’s heiress, one of the six aristocratic families."

Discussing these old memories, Lin Hao wiped his face. His expression resembled a mix of endurance and disgust.

"Su Jingshu took me away from Jiu Ye. For three years, I was in the Su Family, treated like a disposable rag. She ditched me after one use. Until six months ago, she somehow started taking an interest in me again and let me stay by her side."

With her lips twitching, Qin Ruan incredulously asked, "So, you’ve been booted off then suddenly received grace again after two years?"

Repulsed, Lin Hao replied, "Don’t make me sick, I have zero interest in accompanying that psychotic woman! If I had known her identity sooner, I would have resisted to death!"

Qin Ruan let out a sigh but her expression betrayed her amusement. "What a melodramatic situation," she uttered."

"Far from it!" Lin Hao took a deep breath. "These three years in the Su Family, I’ve come to know how ugly and dirty the underbelly of these families are. Su Jingshu, in particular, she’s the true venomous beauty in their midst. Compared to you and your time in West City, she’s the real McCoy."

"Thank you, but I’m a virtuous wife now," Qin Ruan gracefully responded to the distasteful compliment. "What did Su Jingshu do to you that fueled such a deep hatred?"

Through gritted teeth, Lin Hao declared, "She’s a psychopath!"

Curious, Qin Ruan asked: "Care to elaborate?"

Lin Hao turned to look at Qin Ruan, stroking his face as he asked, "Do you think I look like anyone?"

Qin Ruan studied his firm, rugged face. He didn’t bear much resemblance to anyone she knew.

However, there was something familiar about the ruthless gleam in his eyes, and his domineering and lawless aura.

"Nangong Chang!"

Right, Nangong Chang had a similar aura. There were slight similarities between the two.

If one gave Lin Hao a closer look, his looks weren’t particularly distinctive, but he had an overwhelming masculinity.

Lin Hao chuckled coldly, "Only recently, I found out that Su Jingshu is infatuated with Nangong Chang.

Some time ago, she and Nangong Chang met at the Imperial Court Hotel. After an entire night in the room, the next day when she came out, she touched my face and said that only because some features of my face and ’certain parts’ of my body were somewhat similar to Nangong Chang’s did she decide to sleep with me in West City."

Having said that, Lin Hao’s face turned gloomy.

Any man would find such humiliation unbearable.

To survive, and to work for the Huo Family, he had to continue lurking around Su Jingshu.

Of course, that was not the end of this woman’s deviance.

Su Jingshu actually made him sleep with women who had been with Nangong Chang, while she watched. Sometimes, she even offered guidance.

Lin Hao felt that it was a miracle he hadn’t gone mad or become mentally twisted after these past few years of torment.

Li Mannning, who had been with Nangong Chang, was also almost one of his conquests.

If it weren’t for a sudden interruption, he might have really ended up sleeping with Li Manning.

But his failure didn’t mean Su Jingshu would let Li Manning off. She found someone close to Li Manning to record a scandalous video in a different way.

Lin Hao was thankful in retrospect that he was held back by circumstances then. Otherwise, considering Li Manning’s vicious means, he wouldn’t have been able to evade it either.

He couldn’t share these details with Qin Ruan, he had to gloss over them.

Qin Ruan gave Lin Hao’s shoulder a supportive pat. "You’ve been through a lot."

While comforting Lin Hao with her words, her face revealed suppressed laughter.

Lin Hao was used to Qin Ruan showing no sympathy, "Laugh if you want, just don’t cause bodily harm. If Jiu Ye blames me later, I won’t be able to handle it."

Qin Ruan burst out laughing, "This is just too funny. You tasted life’s delicacies while serving Su Jingshu. As far as I know, any woman Nangong Chang takes interest in, are all women of quality. You’re blessed in disguise!"

"Bullshit!" Lin Hao rolled his eyes. "With Su Jingshu watching, I felt like a damn beast."

Qin Ruan subtly suggested, "So, if Su Jingshu wasn’t present, you’d have enjoyed it?"

"She’s a deviant, Don’t you get it? She takes pleasure in torturing others. She stops you in your tracks when you’re about to get something, making you watch helplessly."

Suddenly, Lin Hao went quiet. That kind of despair was hard to comprehend unless you were a man.

He didn’t say anything else, but Qin Ruan understood.

She didn’t expect Su Jingshu was such a player, even if her fetishes were too scandalous.

Trying to suppress her laughter, Qin Ruan said, "Lin Hao, you’ve had it rough."

Being comforted by a young girl left Lin Hao feeling humiliated and annoyed, "Get lost! What do you know about adult matters! Shoo!"
