Chapter 531: Chapter 531: Huo Family’s action this time, represents the destruction of one party’s power

After Li Manning departed, Qin Ruan stood still on the balcony.

Bathed in the hazy moonlight, her luminous skin was tinted with a gentle glow, and the curve of her red lips was deep and mysterious.

Qin Ruan lowered her gaze, staring at her slender hands faintly marred by scars.

A cruel glint flashed across her cold and black-as-ink eyes, just like a piece of jade.

The Nangong family couldn’t be spared.

Thinking of Nangong Chang’s gaze on her, Qin Ruan felt uncomfortable, as if she was being targeted by a venomous snake.

She wasn’t naive, she knew what Nangong Chang’s stare signified.

Understanding the malice behind it only made Qin Ruan feel more disgusted, the urge to vomit growing stronger.

Once she started, she had to be resolute.

It was either her or the Nangong family.

Whatever the Nangong family was about to face, she was destined to bear the consequences.

Qin Ruan stared at her hands, a cold air emanating from her dark eyes.

Her hands would no longer be clean.

A dark cloud drifted high in the sky, masking the hazy moonlight before enveloping it in intense darkness.

With the clouds covering the moon, only a few stars remained, flickering dreamily.

It felt like a storm was brewing.

Qin Ruan turned around and walked back to her room, each step calm and collected.

Her silhouette was arrogant, invoking indescribable feelings, causing ripples in people’s hearts.

Upon returning to her room, Qin Ruan gave in to her fatigue and soon fell fast asleep.

In the silent Huo Family, countless people dressed in black swiftly sprung into action.

The Huo Family’s Hidden Guards were all-out this night.

They moved lightly and swiftly, not interfering with each other’s actions.

During this A-level operation, the Huo Family’s Hidden Guards would completely suppress the Nangong family, cutting off their wings and severing their retreat within the Capital City.

The last time such a large-scale operation was launched was decades ago.

Of the current Hidden Guards participating in this operation, only a few of the old ones had the privilege to join the last one.

The new recruits have heard the old ones (guards) vaguely mention that once the Huo Family’s A-level operation begins, it signifies the life and death of a family.

At a time when the Nangong family was under full lockdown, numerous Hidden Guards of the Huo Family headed towards their assets, choking their financial resources.

This was just the beginning.

The Nangong Family.

Xiao Wenrou noticed that there were more active people in the Nangong family tonight, the subordinates were gathering in small groups.

She thought it was an arrangement made by Nangong Yunlong in a fit of anger over Nangong Chang’s injury, so she didn’t pay much attention.

After Xiao Wenrou finished washing, she applied a face mask and prepared to check on Nangong Chang’s injuries.

She didn’t care whether he was dead or alive.

They were husband and wife in name; it was necessary for her to go through the motions at this time.

Xiao Wenrou opened her bedroom door, just as she was about to head to Nangong Chang’s room, her forgotten phone rang.

She returned to her room and saw that the incoming call was from her elder brother, Xiao Yujie.

She looked at the time; it was already late at night.

Calling her at this time must mean there’s something urgent.

Xiao Wenrou promptly answered the call: "Hello?"

"Wenrou, leave the Nangong household immediately, the quicker the better!"

As soon as she answered, the icy and stern voice of Xiao Yujie clearly transmitted into Xiao Wenrou’s ears.

"Big brother, what’s going on?"

Xiao Yujie’s voice trembled a bit as he said word by word: "The Huo Family has launched an A-level operation."

"What?!!"

Xiao Wenrou was shocked: "Are you sure about this? Why would the Huo Family do such a thing?"

As part of the younger generation, they haven’t witnessed Huo Family’s A-level operation but through the elders, they knew of its dangerous and ruthless process.

A-level operation symbolized killing, representing the destruction of one side’s power.

Xiao Yujie spoke in a resounding voice: "The Huo Family informed father, Wenrou, leave the Nangong household immediately. I’ve sent someone to pick you up, try your best to escape."

"Alright! I understand!"

Xiao Wenrou’s eyes flashed with excitement, her charming face turning a bit red due to the excitement.

Xiao Yujie seriously instructed his sister, "Wenrou, if you leave the Nangong family now, it will surely arouse the suspicion of Nangong Yunlong.

I have already arranged for someone to pick you up and gave them instructions beforehand; if Nangong Yunlong wants to check, you don’t have to panic.

The other party will tell him that my leg was broken again by the vengeful Josh. I’m afraid I won’t be able to stand up for the rest of my life.

Show off your Oscar-level acting skills, you must leave the Nangong family. Father and I will be waiting for you at home."

If Josh, who is still suffering in West City, knew that the Xiao family had set him up like this, he would definitely be furious.

Xiao Wenrou smiled triumphantly, "Okay, don’t worry."

Over the years, the Xiao family has also been ambitious.

The Nangong family wanted to use the Xiao family to rise to the top.

But isn’t the Xiao family also intending to use the Nangong family to elevate themselves to a higher level?

Isn’t the overreaching of the Nangong family in these years the best stepping stone for the Xiao family?

Xiao Wenrou hung up the phone, took off the mask on her face, washed her face clean, quickly put on clothes, and grabbed her handbag to head towards the door.

Her hand had just touched the door when she suddenly pulled it back.

She looked down at her neatly dressed self - it looked too tidy.

Xiao Wenrou half opened the zipper on her handbag and roughed up the clothes she was wearing, making it seem as if she had quickly put them on in a hurry.

She touched her smooth cheeks, then returned to the bathroom.

She found the remaining essence in the facial mask bag thrown on the sink and applied it to her hairline and around her ears.

Looking at the composed figure in the mirror, but seemingly in a dishevelled state, Xiao Wenrou gave a hooked smile.

The next moment, her expression suddenly changed.

Her charming face showed urgency, her eyes reddening as if she was about to cry.

The bedroom door was opened.

The Nangong family underling at the door saw Madam Young Mistress coming out looking dishevelled, a bag in her hand.

He respectfully stepped forward, "Madam, are you going out?"

Xiao Wenrou, with reddening eyes, choked out, "My big brother got into a fight with that bastard Josh again. His leg is useless now!

It will be hard for him to stand up for the rest of his life! I want to go home, I want to go home and see my big brother! Waah..."

She seemed like she wanted to pour out her inner anxiety.

At the same time, big tears rolled down from her eyes.

The servant felt quite conflicted.

Just prior to this, the Family Head had given the order - no one was allowed to leave the Nangong house.

Now that the young madam wanted to leave, he had to ask for permission.

The servant made a please gesture to Xiao Wenrou, "You need to speak to the Family Head in person."

"Hmm!" Xiao Wenrou carelessly wiped her face and headed for the room where Nangong Chang was.

It was already late at night, but the father and son of the Nangong family were still discussing how to perfectly deal with the Huo family.

"Knock knock——"

Someone knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Nangong Yunlong’s authoritative low voice emanated from inside the room.

Xiao Wenrou pushed the door open and rushed in anxiously.

"Dad, Achang, there’s a problem at home!"

Xiao Wenrou didn’t notice the expressions of the father and son in the room. Her eyes were watery, blurring her vision.

Seeing her dishevelled state, with messy hair and a sticky substance around her ears, Nangong Yunlong narrowed his eyes.

He used a gentle voice to ask, "Wenrou, what happened? Take your time to explain."

The tears in Xiao Wenrou’s eyes couldn’t be held back any longer and rolled down her cheeks.

"My big brother’s legs were broken by Josh again. Both legs are broken this time, and the doctor said... said... that my big brother may never be able to stand again in his life!"

After saying this, Xiao Wenrou seemed to have used up all her strength.

"Waah..."

She crouched down in the room, covered her face, and started crying.

The sound of her crying was sorrowful and desolate.

Even the servant standing aside couldn’t help but sympathize.

You have to admit with Xiao Wenrou’s acting skills, if she were to enter the entertainment circle, she would definitely win an Oscar, becoming the best actress.
