Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Qin Ruan relies on Third Master, but with reservations

Qin Anguo said to Qin Ruan, "Ruanruan, get in touch with your big brother, he’s still at Yejue Club."

"Ok, I got it."

Qin Ruan hung up and quickly left her bedroom, heading straight for Grandfather Huo’s study.

Lin Hao followed closely behind, almost afraid she might trip and fall at any moment.

His fear proved prophetic.

Passing by a display cabinet with a vase in the hallway, Qin Ruan lost her footing and began toppling forward.

When danger struck, her first instinct was to protect her belly. She swiftly used her Nether Power, concentrating it on her lower abdomen to protect her child.

Just as Qin Ruan’s body was nearly leaning at a ninety-degree angle, someone from behind caught her by the collar without touching her body at all.

Lin Hao braced himself and steadied Qin Ruan’s body before letting go and taking two steps back.

Looking at the still terrified Qin Ruan, he said earnestly, "I’ve told you to be more careful. Why don’t you watch your step?"

Qin Ruan couldn’t refute him, she looked down to see what had tripped her.

That glance made her face turn pale.

Even Lin Hao looked unusually serious when he saw it.

"Madam, are you okay?"

Huo Chuan’s fearful voice echoed from across the hall.

Qin Ruan silently moved her gaze from the obstacle under her foot and looked at Huo Chuan with a confused expression, not knowing what happened.

Suddenly, her ankle was grabbed.

Feeling the sticky touch, she instantly tensed up and instinctively took on a defensive posture.

"Please... please save me..."

Qin Ruan looked down again, emotionlessl at the man lying on the ground, barely breathing, his body covered in blood.

He clung to her ankle with one hand, his eyes reddened by blood, revealing his desire for life.

He was a pitiful sight, full of desperation.

Huo Chuan stepped forward and forcefully stepped on the arm of the man who was holding Qin Ruan’s ankle.

A crisp sound of broken bone echoed.

"Ahhhhh!!!!!"

Then came the man’s agonizing scream.

The hand clutching Qin Ruan’s ankle let go due to the pain. She took two steps back and coldly stared at the blood on her ankle.

Annoyance and disgust flashed through her eyes.

The noise outside disturbed the old man in the study, "Huo Chuan, what are you doing out there?"

A cold and impatient voice came from inside the study.

Huo Chuan lifted his foot from the man’s arm, turned toward the office, and respectfully replied, "Grandfather, Madam has arrived."

There was a crack open in the office door, and his voice clearly echoed inside the study.

Steady footsteps erupted from within.

Soon, the door to the study was opened from inside.

Huo Yunjiao opened the study door, his cold and dark glance swept over everyone before finally landing on Qin Ruan, his eyes softening.

He walked out of the study with a dignified and graceful stride, coming to stand in front of Qin Ruan.

"Why aren’t you resting in the room?"

Qin Ruan shook her head, her hand still tightly clutching her phone.

She took a deep breath and relayed the news her father had given her over the phone -- that Qin Mei might be in danger -- to the man before her.

Huo Yunjiao nodded gracefully and said to Qin Ruan, pointing at Huo Chuan, "Take him to Yejue Club. Those people will let you check the surveillance."

Gratitude flashed in Qin Ruan’s eyes, "Thank you, Grandfather."

Huo Yunjiao patted her head, a small smile on his lips, "There’s no need for courtesy. You should leave as soon as possible and not linger outside, it’s unsafe recently."

Qin Ruan obediently nodded, "I understand."

"Huo Chuan, accompany Madam on this trip, and bring more people."

"Yes, Master."

Huo Chuan hurried downstairs to gather personnel and prepare vehicles for the trip.

Upstairs in the hallway, Huo Yunjiao, Qin Ruan, and Lin Hao stood, along with a bloody man gasping for breath and whimpering in pain at their feet.

The man who had been howling in pain, instantly shut his mouth the moment Grandfather Huo emerged from the study.

He muffled his whimpers, not daring to make a loud noise, for fear of disturbing the devil standing next to him.

Everyone knew the Huo family’s eldest grandson, Master Huo, as a humble, steady, gentle, and scholarly gentleman, elegant and refined.

However, only a few were aware of the ruthless measures he employed, which were no less than those of Huo Yirong.

Today, he had already experienced the taste of wanting to live but unable to die.

He regretted, regretted betraying the Huo Family, and also regretted not escaping before falling into the hands of this devil.

Huo Yunjiao held Qin Ruan’s hand and headed to the study.

The man lying on the ground, with blood in his eyes, watched their retreating figures and pleaded for mercy.

"Master Huo, I was wrong. I truly know my mistake now. Please spare me."

Huo Yunjiao continued to move forward without pausing. Qin Ruan was the one who turned around.

She slightly squinted her beautiful eyes and expressionlessly looked at the man who was lying haplessly outside the study room.

Qin Ruan took the initiative to inquire from the person beside her, "Master Huo, what has this man done wrong?"

Huo Yunjiao’s thin lips moved slightly, "Betrayal."

Qin Ruan guessed, "Is it related to Yirong and Huo Zhi leaving the Capital City?"

"Yes."

A cold murderous intent appeared on Qin Ruan’s delicate face, "Why don’t you just kill him?"

Huo Yunjiao’s voice was indifferent, "That would be too easy on him."

"Master Huo, how do you plan to deal with him?"

"I will leave it to Huo Chuan. He knows what to do."

Huo Yunjiao, holding Qin Ruan’s hand, continued to move into the house.

The man lying on the ground listened to their conversation, his bloody face twisted.

He shouted at Huo Yunjiao and Qin Ruan’s retreating figures, unable to suppress his furious roar, "Huo San! You are nothing but an executioner! Countless people have died at your hands. Aren’t you afraid they’ll come seeking revenge in the middle of the night?!

Your heart is black, the Huo family will fall at your hands one day! Even without my betrayal, the Huo family would have eventually met its doom!!!"

The only response he got was the closed door of the room.

Lin Hao, who was standing outside the study, withdrew his hand that had shut the door.

He pocketed his hands, leaned casually against the wall and displayed a look of disdain on his cold, determined face.

Lin Hao looked down at the man lying at his feet. His face was full of ridicule and contempt.

In his view, this man who dared to curse the Huo family even when on the brink of death, if the Hidden Guards of Huo’s family known for their unwavering loyalty learned about this, they would surely want to skin him alive.

He would be better off saving his energy or figuring out a way to end his life.

In the study.

Huo Yunjiao, holding Qin Ruan’s hand, walked to the table and opened a drawer.

He took out a silver lipstick from inside.

Huo Yunjiao’s well-defined fingers played with the lipstick tube, creating an indescribable sense of incongruity in Qin Ruan’s sight.

Under Qin Ruan’s gaze, he took out a mini gun from the drawer.

Huo Yunjiao placed the gun and the lipstick in Qin Ruan’s hand, "Put them in the bag you carry with you, just in case you need it."

He pointed to the lipstick in Qin Ruan’s hand, "This is called ’Kiss of Death,’ a silent gun that’s about 5 centimeters long. It has been specially designed for women. It looks like lipstick on the outside.

If someone wants to harm you, it’s unlikely they will notice when you take out this gun. It’s best used at a close distance, but it can only be fired once."

After introducing the ’Kiss of Death,’ Master Huo pointed to the other weapon with a long, slender finger.

"As for this mini gun, you should be quite comfortable using it without me teaching you."

Qin Ruan, holding these two lightweight weapons, her face flashed serious.

She seemed worried, "Master Huo, has something happened?"

Huo Yunjiao chuckled lowly, rubbing Qin Ruan’s head, "Don’t think too much. These were prepared for you a while ago, just taking the opportunity to give them to you."

Qin Ruan was still not very convinced, "Are you sure there’s nothing wrong?"

Huo Yunjiao leaned back on the desk, his gaze gentle as he watched Qin Ruan, his tone holding a hint of hesitation, "Ruanruan, you’ve been particularly sensitive today."

Qin Ruan also realized that she had been overly sensitive today and was overthinking things.

She wasn’t sure if this was a reaction to pregnancy or if she was just becoming sensitive.

Qin Ruan looked down at the weapons in her hand, unwilling to speak.

Huo Yunjiao stroked her head, sighed, "If you want to say something, you don’t need to be evasive with me. Speak your mind, ask anything you want."

Hearing this, Qin Ruan felt as if a great weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

All the contradictions seemed to have started this morning.

After she noticed that Master Huo was in a bad mood, she held back the questions she wanted to ask several times.

Even though she had found a sense of security from him, Qin Ruan was still holding back.
