Chapter 458: Chapter 458: As a Dog Discussing Your Master, You’ve Overstepped

Huo Chuan stood in front of Bei Jinzhou, his pitch-black eyes staring at the man before him, radiating a sharp icy gaze: "Bei Jinzhou."

This man was Su Jingshu’s most loyal dog, extremely cunning and deep in mind.

He controlled many of the Su Family’s public businesses and was the puppet the Su Family had pushed out.

If he could appear here, the Su Family must have gotten the news.

Bei Jinzhou revealed a detached smile on his face, "Huo Chuan, we meet again."

Huo Chuan harboured no goodwill towards him, speaking coldly: "Since you’ve come, you must know the situation. Cooperate with my Madam’s investigation to find Qin Ruan as quickly as possible."

"A great honor."

Bei Jinzhou was polite and courteous, stepping aside to reveal the sophisticated surveillance equipment behind him.

Ignoring the veiled confrontation between the two men, Qin Ruan walked over to Shen Junjie who was thrown on the ground and sternly held down by the Huo Family’s hidden guards.

Looking at this youngster with his hair dyed in a mess, an odd light flickered at the bottom of Qiu Ruan’s eyes.

If not for the expensive brand-name clothes he was wearing, she would have genuinely thought this was some punk. He didn’t look like her second brother’s classmate at all.

This person’s appearance was also too hasty, looking even older than his big brother.

To prevent Shen Junjie from running away, one of the Huo Family’s hidden guards kept his foot on him, rendering him powerless on the ground.

"I heard you had a fight with Qin Mei at an underground bar the night before last?"

Hearing Qin Ruan’s voice above his head, Shen Junjie miserably lifted his head.

The face of a woman, innocent yet alluring, with an excellent image and demeanor, filled his field of vision.

Shen Junjie was dumbstruck.

Suddenly, his face changed drastically, stuttering: "You, are you Qin Mei?! No! You’re a woman!"

Qin Ruan and Qin Mei are twins, their faces bear a resemblance.

The former is gentle and bright, with a beauty matured by age, while Qin Mei’s face is colder, his worldly cynicism and punkish vibe are quite unique.

The two are very different in temperament besides their similar appearances.

Qin Ruan wanted to squat down, but with her belly starting to show, bending over became a strain for her.

She motioned to the Hidden guard of Huo Family with her hand: "Get him up."

The Hidden guard immediately pulled Shen Junjie up from the ground, making him kneel.

Qin Ruan leaned over to Shen Junjie, staring at his slightly hasty face, her cold voice rang out: "Just answer the questions I ask you. That night you fought with Qin Mei, was there anything wrong with him?"

From the moment Qin Ruan saw Shen Junjie, she was certain that her second brother’s disappearance had nothing to do with him.

Shen Junjie, frightened by the show of force inside the hall, had long since lost the arrogant attitude that he displayed upstairs.

He shook his head at Qin Ruan: "I don’t know."

No hesitation at all, not even thinking with his brain.

Qin Ruan’s gaze was slightly cold as she reached out and patted Shen Junjie’s face: "Think carefully. Each word you say carries its own cost."

Being slapped in the face by a woman, Shen Junjie felt insulted.

He gritted his teeth, glaring at the face in front of him that looked eight or nine points similar to his sworn enemy: "Who are you to Qin Mei? How dare you hit me, I’ll see you’re dead in return!"

"Slap!"

The response to Shen Junjie was a painful slap to the cheek.

The slap that Qin Ruan doled out was indeed a declaration of her patience running out.

Her face darkened, her eyes glaring ominously at the young man before her: "I’m giving you three minutes to think carefully about what happened between you and Qin Mei that night. Was there anything wrong about him?"

Shen Junjie touched his cheek which had been slapped, staring at Qin Ruan in disbelief.

"You bitch, you dare hit me!"

"Slap!"

Qin Ruan slapped him again.

This time, the power was much greater than before.

Shen Junjie’s face was knocked sideways by the slap, his face was quite a sight, a dark steel blue tinged with a reddish hue.

He raised his head, glaring at Qin Ruan like a wolf cub, "You motherf..."

"Slap!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Ruan slapped him again.

She fixed Shen Junjie with a penetrating gaze, her voice low and firm: "Quit blathering and answer my question!"

A wise man knows his limits. After being slapped thrice, Shen Junjie quickly subdued.

He was breathing heavily, fury evident in his features. He began to say what Qin Ruan wanted to hear: "How would I know what’s off with Qin Mei? That brat is too cocky. I give him a glance, he’d think I was picking a fight with him! Who would bother to pay attention to him!!"

Qin Ruan’s eyes were frosty, her face stern: "Keep going on about your old man, as if that old man of yours hasn’t been dead for over two thousand years. Or is it maybe you’d like to join him!"

She loathed his evasive attitude, wasting her time.

Seeing how her expression was growing more severe, a Hidden Guard of the Huo Family grabbed Shen Junjie’s arm and twisted it behind him in a painful knot.

"Ouch! It hurts! Brother, be gentle!!"

Shen Junjie began to howl in pain.

"When the Madam asks you a question, answer truthfully!"

The Hidden Guard’s voice was gruff but firm, more intimidating even than Qin Ruan’s melodious anger.

Shen Junjie promptly caved: "All right, all right. Just let me go first!"

The Huo Family’s Hidden Guard loosened his hold on Shen Junjie’s twisted arm, but his restraining force remained.

Knitting his brows, Shen Junjie began to recall every single detail he could remember of his encounter with Qin Mei two nights ago.

After reviewing the surveillance footage, Huo Chuan had a solemn, unapproachable look on his face.

Noticing the commotion on his wife’s side, his gaze shifted over.

Bei Jinzhou shifted his scrutinizing gaze from Qin Ruan and cryptically said to Huo Chuan: "Your wife is quite interesting."

Huo Chuan turned and stared coldly at Bei Jinzhou: "You and I are the same. We each serve our masters. As a dog of the Su Family, discussing the master of the Huo Family, thou doth protest too much."

Bei Jinzhou’s eyes crinkled in amusement. He didn’t think that discussing Huo Chuan’s wife was crossing the line.

Nor was he upset that Huo Chuan had called him a dog of the Su Family.

In a leisurely tone, Bei Jinzhou said: "The master of the Huo Family? That’s presumptuous to say."

The disdain for Qin Ruan in his words was clear enough to discern.

Bei Jinzhou flat-out refused to believe that Qin Ruan, who had no connection to either the Four Great Families or the Aristocratic Families and didn’t come from a Scholarly Family, could become the master of the Huo Family.

The concept of marrying within one’s social class is of utmost importance to the great families.

It doesn’t just represent the marriage of two people but of two powerful families.

Even if the Huo Family has no need for a marriage alliance, someone of Qin Ruan’s status could not occupy the position of the Huo Family matriarch.

Who is the third master of the Huo Family?

He is the next heir to the Huo Family.

The heir of the Huo Family, the President himself would afford him due respect. This family has control over the fate of numerous other families.

Behind the glamor lies a maze of crises, invisible to the average person.

Despite his fragile health, which might not permit him a long life, the third master is the future Head of the Huo Family.

The seat of the Huo Family matriarch is not one easily occupied.

To become the matriarch of the Huo Family, one does not rely on an outstanding appearance, nor on physical strength.

There are many who can fight, but even if a woman was able to do so, the Huo Family wouldn’t need their matriarch to lift a finger.

Among ordinary people, Qin Ruan stands out for her beauty and her ability to protect herself.

In these great families, though, such traits are insignificant, barely worth mentioning.

Among the ladies of the Four Great Families and the Six Aristocratic Families, who doesn’t have their distinct beauty? They are each cunning and calculating and possess intelligent minds.

Compared to the women these families meticulously raise, Qin Ruan really doesn’t compare.

The day the Third Master took Qin Ruan to Nangong Chang’s wedding, Qin Ruan’s personal information was investigated thoroughly by various forces.

Bei Jinzhou dared to say that over ninety-nine percent of people held no hopes for Qin Ruan ascending the position of matriarch of the Huo Family.

Based on the short personal profile they had obtained on Qin Ruan, aside from her exceptional beauty, she had nothing else to offer.

Huo Chuan cast a glance sideways, taking in Bei Jinzhou’s look of disdain.

This was a look he knew all too well; when Qin Ruan first came to the Huo family, even he and those beneath him held a wait-and-see attitude towards her.

They believed that the woman standing beside their Family Head should belong to one of the Four Great Families or the Aristocratic Families or at the very least be an intellectually cultured woman from a Scholarly Family.

Who would’ve thought it would be a girl of lower status than even their own, born in a slum, and raised freely for eighteen years?

After the Third Master and Qin Ruan got married, the Hidden Guards of the Huo Family were indeed respectful towards Qin Ruan, but they lacked true loyalty.
