Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Ruanruan, the beautiful vixen, meets with Master Jiang in West City

Josh was slow to respond, taking quite some time before he answered: "...Yeah."

Qin Ruan asked coldly: "Where to?"

"Zhenpin Pavilion." Josh replied, articulating each syllable clearly.

A chilling light flashed in Qin Ruan’s eyes: "Do you know that Xiao Yujie has planned a trap for you at the feast, intending to break your legs in retaliation for what happened last time?"

Josh furrowed his brows as traces of pain from his intoxication spread across his face.

He asked uncertainly: "What... what did you say?"

Qin Ruan’s cold, angry gaze, as sharp as a blade, was directed straight at Josh.

"You deserve to be taught a lesson. Brace yourself for the first one I’m about to give!" she uttered in a voice that was terrifyingly low and dark.

As Josh’s mind was still clouded, Qin Ruan stepped back.

"Lin Hao, drag him outside for me!"

Lin Hao heeded, roughly pulling Josh, who was all wet, out of the room.

Like a lamb ready to be slaughtered, Josh didn’t put up any resistance and was dragged out of the private room.

After they left, Qin Ruan cast a playful glance at Liu Jisheng.

"Master Liu?"

Liu Jisheng didn’t look too well: "I can’t handle that."

He hadn’t heard Josh clearly when Josh had called Qin Ruan his cousin earlier, and he still didn’t quite understand who Qin Ruan was.

He had seen people from the Huo Family before, yet he had no idea who Qin Ruan was.

Qin Ruan didn’t seem to care about Liu Jisheng’s rude attitude.

She examined the eight young men in the room with a leisurely gaze, saying: "I won’t make things too difficult for you. Tonight you just drink here. We’ll consider it over when you reach the same state as Josh."

Someone who was being restrained by the Huo Family’s Hidden Guards protested in the distance, "By whose authority? It’s not like we forced Josh to drink."

"Whether you did or not is irrelevant, the point is he drank with all of you."

As she answered, Qin Ruan fixed her cold gaze on Liu Jisheng.

Just as Liu Jisheng knew she had the final say, Qin Ruan also knew he was the initiator of this event.

Liu Jisheng took a deep breath, speaking as calmly as he could, "There was a misunderstanding today. We didn’t plan on handing Josh over to Xiao Yujie. We got him drunk so that he wouldn’t be able to keep his appointment."

Qin Ruan nodded gracefully to signal that she understood.

"And then?"

Liu Jisheng said earnestly: "We have no ill intentions towards Josh."

Qin Ruan chuckled lightly: "But the fact is, you did get him overly drunk. Prior to that, you also intentionally interacted with him with ulterior motives!"

"There’s no room for negotiation?"

"No."

Qin Ruan’s every move, even her silence, carried an oppressive force.

The words she spoke all held gravity.

She lifted the corners of her lips, raising her brows ever so slightly, as though she held the world in disdain.

Just like she had said earlier, none of the people in the room could escape.

Seeing Qin Ruan’s firm attitude, Liu Jisheng couldn’t help feeling anxious.

His eyes fixated on Qin Ruan: "What is your position in the Huo Family? The Huo Family has always convinced others with reason. Aren’t you afraid that your actions today will tarnish their reputation?"

"I have always acted according to my own will. Can’t accept it?"

Qin Ruan wore an indifferent expression, her words exuding an air of dominance.

Restraining his anger, Liu Jisheng gritted out: "I can’t!"

Smiling in amusement, Qin Ruan pushed her hair back from her ear and said teasingly to Liu Jisheng: "If you can’t accept it, then come bite me."

Liu Jisheng’s face went pale with fury.

Qin Ruan’s cold gaze swept over Liu Jisheng’s angry face, and she breezily said, "Stop wasting time. Hurry up."

It was like a start signal, and the Huo Family’s Hidden Guards all sprang into action.

Knowing that these people would not willingly drink, they picked up wine bottles and directly started pouring wine down their mouths.

Liu Jisheng was the only one in the room who didn’t have wine being poured into his mouth.

He exchanged looks with Qin Ruan, the air around him radiating resistance.

Qin Ruan asked him: "You don’t want to drink?"

Liu Jisheng glanced at his brothers all around him who were being forced to drink, gritted his teeth and said: "I’ll drink!"

He grabbed a half-filled bottle of wine from the table and tilted his head back to drink.

His expression of imminent doom, accompanied by his reluctant movements, made it seem as if he was drinking poison.

Seeing this, Qin Ruan wore a satisfied look on her face and turned to walk out of the room.

Upon passing a Hidden Guard stationed outside the room, she whispered: "Don’t let them get drunk for real. Just scare them a little, we’ll still need them later on."

"Understood, Madam."

Without turning back, Qin Ruan left the private room.

Inside the room, Liu Jisheng and the rest, whether willingly or unwillingly, drank bottle after bottle.

After Qin Ruan left the room, Lin Hao and Josh were left alone in the hallway, one standing, the other sitting.

The liquor in Josh’s system was starting to wear off, but he was still intoxicated, unceremoniously slumped on the ground.

Qin Ruan walked up to Josh and examined him from top to bottom with a critical eye.

Josh slightly raised his eyes when he saw his cousin in front of him, and started complaining: "Cousin, he treated me just like trash, dragging me around everywhere."

A storm brewed in Qin Ruan’s eyes as she leaned in closer to Josh, her gaze traveling up and down his figure playfully.

"Look at the state you’re in. Aren’t you just like trash!"

She finished her sentence, and something seemed to amuse her. Qin Ruan laughed lightly, her face wearing a teasing expression.

"Josh, since your cousin isn’t in the country right now, I plan to send you away for a few days."

"Away? Where to?"

Josh wasn’t completely sober, but the mention of going away got him interested.

Qin Ruan’s crimson lips parted, her voice icy: "West City, the slums."

Standing aside, Lin Hao was surprised at her words.

Qin Ruan took two steps back and pointed at Josh, "Lin Hao, take him and let’s go!"

Lin Hao easily lifted Josh off the ground.

He asked Qin Ruan: "Are we really sending him to West City?"

There wasn’t a trace of joking on Qin Ruan’s face: "Of course. This young fella is clueless about the hardships of the Mortal World. He stirs up trouble everywhere relying on his background. Despite appearing to be ignorant, he’s actually very stubborn.

He’s oblivious to the fact that one can’t know another’s men’s minds, and only used his family background to his advantage. He knew that others wouldn’t dare to cross him, so he didn’t bother to use his brains, ignoring what was right or wrong, seeking only his own enjoyment. Such a person really needs education!"

Seeing that Qin Ruan said so, Lin Hao decided that Josh, this little troublemaker, indeed needed some discipline.

He asked casually: "Who are you planning to send him to?"

"Su Wang."

Qin Ruan had three good friends in West City: Su Wang, Shen Ran, and Li Zilan.

These three were her companions who had fought alongside her and had been through life and death situations together.

Lin Hao sighed: "I wonder how they have been over these years. It’ll be good to go back and see them."

Hauling Josh towards the elevator, he was secretly looking forward to the trip back to West City.

Qin Ruan strolled after him, her hands in her pockets.

But it wasn’t just Lin Hao who was excited—her heart was also not at peace.

After she left West City in her previous life, she had lost contact with Su Wang, Shen Ran, and Li Zilan.

Qin Ruan couldn’t recall whether it was owing to lack of time or whether she had subconsciously resisted the experiences in West City.

After returning to the Qin Family in her past life, she had had her hands full.

Everything she experienced later was even more exhausting than her eighteen years in West City.

...

West City.

From the outside, it is made up of many dilapidated houses.

This area looks crowded and desolate.

If you look down from the sky, West City stands out against the surrounding high-rise buildings.

It’s like a scar, branded on the glitzy land of the Capital City.

Don’t underestimate this small section of West City, the people living here are not few, with a high population density.

In this West City filled with all kinds of unauthorized buildings, there are plenty of shady deals.

Murders, theft, various actions on the edge of the law, and even those that violate the law, are all carried out here.

A luxurious car with an elegant body slowly drives into West City.

Qin Ruan is sitting in the car, watching the car drive onto the narrow road of West City.

She sees the numb crowd outside the car, their eyes flashing at the luxury car, revealing a fearsome glow.

Those who live in West City are ignorant of the law; all they see is power and money in this small West City.

Meeting the various gazes shining from outside the car, Qin Ruan is certain, she has been targeted.

All along the way, she can’t tell how many people are eyeing this luxury car, including those sitting inside.

For money, the people here will stop at nothing.

"Sister-in-law, where are we?"

Josh, who slumped next to Qin Ruan, has completely regained his senses.

Seeing the car driving into such a dilapidated area, he frowned, a clear look of disgust on his face.

Qin Ruan didn’t take her eyes off the outside of the car, and said calmly, "West City."

Josh: "Is this where you used to live?"

"Yes, this is where I lived for eighteen years."

There’s no major fluctuation in Qin Ruan’s tone.

West City hasn’t changed much, but Qin Ruan found it very unfamiliar.

It’s as if her eighteen years of life experiences were from a previous life.

Josh became a bit interested, he sat upright, observing the scenes outside the car.

The dilapidated muddy road, the dim yellow street lights, the strange expressions of the people standing on both sides of the road, all came into Josh’s view.

This is different from what he imagined.

West City is known as the mortal hell, he thought that it would be bustling, with blood pumping scenes happening every day.

Observing the poor and numb expressions of people outside the car, staring at their car with greedy looks in their eyes, Josh frowned deeply.

The scenes were far from what he had imagined.

Lin Hao, who was driving, pulled the car to a fork in the road and stopped to ask Qin Ruan, "Should we go to Old Man Jiang’s place, or go to Su Wang’s?"

Qin Ruan rubbed her brows, "Let’s go to Old Man Jiang’s place."

Since they are here, for Josh’s upcoming plans, they had to meet Old Man Jiang.

Also, Su Wang, Shen Ran, and Li Zilan never stay in one place.

Today they could be at a food stall on the east side of West City, tomorrow they will be in a casino on the south side, or some other pool halls or internet cafes.

They don’t have a fixed home and it would take forever to find them, probably turning every shady place in West City upside down.

Qin Ruan doesn’t want to bother, better to go to Old Man’s Jiang’s place and wait.

She used to live like this, moving all the time.

Aside from preventing people from causing trouble, it was more for her own safety.

No one knows when they will be targeted and silently kidnapped.

Lin Hao turned the steering wheel to the left and drove to Old Man Jiang’s place like a seasoned hand.

There is a large nightclub in West City where business is booming every day with a dense, mixed flow of customers.

This is Old Man Jiang’s territory, and it’s also the place that brings in the most profit.

Ever since Qin Ruan could remember, she knew about this nightclub.

Over the years, this nightclub has been renovated so many times that she couldn’t even count them.

Coming back here again, Qin Ruan noticed that the nightclub has changed again, the exterior decoration is even more luxurious than before.

Lin Hao drove the car to the entrance of the nightclub, there are two young men standing around, looking casual.

They have no idea what a luxury car is, but they can see that the approaching car is grand and visibly expensive.

The two of them straightened their stance, slowly approaching.

Lin Hao, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, rolled down the car window, revealing his mature and cold face.

"Brother Hao?!"

One of the young men with dyed yellow hair recognized Lin Hao, and seeing his face, he showed an uncertain excitement in his tone.

Lin Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you know me?"

The yellow-haired man’s face turned red with excitement, "Of course! I’m your loyal fan! I watch all your matches at the boxing ring!"

He rubbed his hands together, leaned over excitedly, staring at Lin Hao, "Brother Hao, where have you been all these years?"

Lin Hao just smiled and didn’t answer. He glanced at the nightclub that was both familiar and unfamiliar; the basement of this nightclub is the boxing ring.

Three years ago, he spent most of his time strawl about here.

Savoring the most extravagant life he had ever had.

Lin Hao sighed in his heart, turned his head, and asked the yellow-haired man, "Is Old Man Jiang in?"

The yellow-haired boy: "Lucky timing, Old Man Jiang came to settle some matters. He arrived not long ago."

Lin Hao pressed his lips together and said, "Go and tell Old Man Jiang that I’m here, I’ll go up and find him later."

"Alright, I’ll go now!"

The yellow-haired boy ran away, but not before telling his companion to serve Lin Hao well.

With the younger man leading the way, Lin Hao drove the car and parked in Old Man Jiang’s designated parking area.

"Brother Hao, let’s go inside and wait."

The young man who greeted Lin Hao was very enthusiastic, nodding and bowing at him.

Lin Hao ignored him and walked to the back of the car and opened the door.

Qin Ruan adjusted her coat and slowly stepped out of the car.

The young man standing nearby, seeing such a beautiful woman emerging from the car, got stunned.

Forgive him for his lack of culture; he could only use the word "beautiful" to describe Qin Ruan.

This woman is more beautiful than all the other women he has seen in his life. She was as beautiful as a fox fairy.

Lin Hao noticed that he was almost drooling and scolded him, "Keep your eyes to yourself, don’t stare!"

"Yes, yes, yes...."

The young man reluctantly moved his gaze away from Qin Ruan. He lowered his head and dared not look around.

Qin Ruan turned around and said unhappily to the person in the car, "Josh, get out of the car!"

"I don’t want to!"

Josh had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.

He had sobered up, and was starting to recall what Qin Ruan had said in the Yejue Club.

For some reason, Josh had a gut feeling.

If he got out of the car now, the horrors waiting for him would be unimaginable.

This feeling came quickly and urgently. He held onto the passenger seat tightly with both hands, refusing to get out of the car.

Sitting in the car, looking at Qin Ruan’s expressionless face, he had the feeling that Sister-in-law was even scarier than his brother.
