Chapter 721: Chapter 721: Miss Qin, We Are Also Following Someone’s Instructions

Huo Yunjiao’s face was pale, with bright red lips.

His dense black hair was damp, and his deep-set peach-blossom eyes were adorned with a lingering hint of desire.

Qin Anguo’s wise eyes narrowed slightly, a tricky smile appeared on his face, resembling an old fox.

"Is Ruanruan not up yet?

Master Huo walked over leisurely, nodded and replied, "Just finished feeding the child, she will be downstairs soon."

Paternal Qin chuckled mysteriously, "Ruanruan is in poor health, and an ordinary woman needs at least a month of confinement after giving birth. She gave birth to two children and her body is severely weakened. Her confinement period needs to be prolonged.

You should keep that in mind and if men can endure, they must endure. Don’t think about temporary pleasure and leave a lifelong shadow on Ruanruan."

"..." Master Huo paused and looked quizzical.

He glanced at Qin Anguo, unable to understand his implication.

Qin Anguo gave a low cough: "Just suffer a bit. Restrain if you can."

"!"

The always calm and composed Master Huo almost choked on his father-in-law’s words.

He widened his eyes, his thin lips twitched slightly, even his eyes twitched involuntarily.

Master Huo began to wonder, what had he done to make Qin Anguo see him as a beast.

"What are you talking about?"

With Xueqiu in his arms, Qin Mei came over, yawning and asking curiously.

Qin Anguo glared at him: "Don’t interrupt adults!"

Caught in the unexpected barrage of his father, the second young master Qin showed great common sense: "Alright, I won’t ask!"

He threw Xueqiu on the sofa, sat down, and lazily leaned back.

Qin Mei rested his head on the sofa and looked up at Master Huo.

Seeing the wonderful expression on his face, he could not help but sneer maliciously: "Yo, brother-in-law, you look dissatisfied this early in the morning?"

Master Huo took a deep breath, wanted to gag Qin Mei’s mouth.

The mind of this father and son were not normal!

If he had done something, he would have accepted it.

It turns out he didn’t do anything, being ridiculed by this father and son duo, he indescribably felt wronged.

Qin Ruan came downstairs and saw Master Huo standing with her father and second brother.

Before she could say hello, her phone rang.

She glanced at the incoming call display. It was an unfamiliar number.

Without a second thought, Qin Ruan hung up.

Not even a few seconds later, the phone rang again.

Qin Ruan frowned, answered the call, and put the phone to her ear.

"Is this Qin Ruan? I am from the city crime investigation department. We have a case that requires your assistance. When can you come over?"

The unfamiliar man’s voice came from the other end of the line, his tone haughty, causing Qin Ruan’s frown to deepen.

In a displeased tone, she replied, "I don’t have time."

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

Qin Ruan had previously interacted with the criminal investigation department through Lu Han a few times.

Now that he has transferred to a different post, she had lost contact with them for a while.

The criminal investigation department’s case had nothing to do with her.

The phone rang again, Qin Ruan pressed the mute button, not willing to entangled with him.

The caller’s arrogant tone was quite annoying.

"Ruanruan is up. Did you sleep well?"

Father Qin’s face was full of smiles when he saw his daughter.

"I slept quite well."

Qin Ruan looked energetic, not at all like a woman who just gave birth.

She walked to Qin Anguo’s side and affectionately wrapped her arm around his.

The servant came out from the dining room and respectfully said to Master Huo, "Master Huo, breakfast is ready. Would you like to eat now?"

Master Huo looked at Qin Ruan.

The latter, with her arm wrapped around Qin Anguo, squinted and laughed, saying, "I’m hungry, let’s eat first."

The four of them walked toward the dining room.

Odi school.

Before dawn, a piercing scream of fear echoed through the silent girls’ dormitory at the campus.

A homicide occured in dormitory 404, the crime scene was bloody and horrific.

The school’s high-ranking officials reported it to the police immediately.

The case was taken over by the city’s criminal investigation department.

The newly appointed leader brought his team and arrived at the crime scene; the sight made him go pale.

The scene was too brutal and bloodied, it didn’t seem humanly possible.

The floor of dormitory 404 was covered in blood, the bed, the walls, everywhere they looked was smeared with bright and gory blood.

Two severely mutilated bodies lay on the ground as if they had been gnawed by something; more than half of the bodies were missing.

The new leader who took over after Lu Han is named Yuan Zhiwei.

He could tell that this case was unusual. From what he found out from the school’s senior executives, he knew about the unsolved cases that had occurred in the recent past.

Combining all the abnormal incidents in the school, he believed that the school was cursed.

Yuan Zhiwei wanted to make his mark and gain the public’s trust.

He found records of Lu Han frequently interacting with Qin Ruan during his tenure, he got her phone number with the intent of bullying her into assisting with solving the case.

Unexpectedly, Qin Ruan declined right away and also stopped taking his calls.

This infuriated Yuan Zhiwei.

Furious, he slammed the table and ordered his subordinates to investigate Qin Ruan’s identity and insisted that they bring her to the department that very day.

Another murder happened at Odi School. After an emergency meeting by the high-ranking officials, the school decided to give the students a long vacation.

We’ll inform the students to start school once the case is solved.

For the majority of students, this could be considered as good news, offering some solace to their anxious hearts.

However, within a morning’s time, most of the students fled from the school as quickly as they could.

The remaining students were either those whose families live out of town and were unable to buy return tickets, or those who were delayed by other matters.

The remaining students in the school were scared and constantly in fear.

Rumors began to circulate within the school, with the most popular one being that the Evil Puppet is seeking revenge.

Two students from dormitory 404 had already died, one was Cheng Xuelan, and the other was a female student named Wo Tong.

This morning, there were discussions amongst the girls’ dormitories. They claimed that they heard screams last night, which sounded like either Cheng Xuelan or Wo Tong.

Thus, the legend of the Evil Puppet seeking revenge began.

The law enforcement officers have completely sealed off the girls’ dormitory.

Everyone would consciously stop in their tracks when they pass by the girls’ dormitories.

They felt as if the entire dormitory was like a man-eating monster that would devour them if they let their guard down.

Two more boys came by.

Upon seeing the girls’ dormitory cordoned off with police tape, the two boys started to whisper among themselves.

"Do you think the avenging Evil Puppet is Cheng Xuelan or Wo Tong?"

"I guess it’s Cheng Xuelan. From what I overheard the girls discussing, they claimed to have heard Cheng Xuelan more often last night."

"Who would have thought? Cheng Xuelan was quite attractive. Her acts are so brutal, and her taste is so heavy, even resorting to cannibalism."

"You better shut up! Be careful she might come for you at midnight!"

The boy turned pale with fright: "Damn it! I’m going home right away!"

"Let’s go quickly. Standing around here makes me feel creepy, as if we are being watched by something."

"I have that feeling too!"

The two boys quickly left.

On the fourth floor, a faint red figure could be seen.

The figure, with its eerie and bizarre blood-red eyes, was watching the backs of the two boys who were hastily leaving.

A law enforcement officer standing at the bottom of the building subconsciously touches his arm.

He turns to his colleague and asks, "Are you feeling cold?"

The other replied indifferently, "The weather forecast for these few days is cloudy. Just put on more clothes."

"I’m already wearing thermal trousers. I mean, are you feeling anything unusual?"

"What’s wrong?"

"I just feel very cold, bone-chilling cold, like I’m inside an icehouse."

"Just shut up!"

The other law enforcement officers felt uneasy after hearing his descriptions.

They did not see a drifting red figure passing by them.

The figure, floating inches off the ground, headed in the direction of the two fleeing boys.

Those blood-red eyes were particularly striking, radiating with malicious intent and a brutal thirst for blood.

...

Qin Jingcen stayed up all night at the company.

After processing urgent documents in the morning and freshening up at home, he rushed to the Champs Elysees Manor.

He was there to pick up his father and younger brother, and most importantly, to see his two recently born nephews.

When Qin Jingcen arrived, he brought along two strangers dressed in uniforms.

Qin Ruan was at the door and recognized the familiar faces who got out of the car along with her elder brother.

"Miss Qin!"

The two criminal investigation bureau members sent to find Qin Ruan used to work under Lu Han.

Their attitude towards Qin Ruan was respectful and humble, unlike Yuan Zhiwei’s arrogance.

Having recognized their identities, Qin Ruan spoke in a gentle tone, "What brings you here?"

The two exchanged glances, looking slightly awkward, "Miss Qin, we are here on someone else’s behalf."

"Let’s talk inside."

Qin Ruan invited her elder brother and the two men in uniforms into the living room.

Seeing Qin Jingcen bringing along two more people, Qin Anguo and Qin Mei looked confused.

"What’s going on?"

They assumed something had happened.

Eldest Qin explained, "I ran into them as I was leaving the company. They said they had something to discuss with Ruanruan, so I brought them with me."

If they hadn’t begged and explained their previous contact with Ruanruan, Jingcen wouldn’t have agreed to bring them.

Qin Ruan invited the two law enforcement officers to sit, "Have a seat. Let’s discuss this slowly."

She had a rough idea why they had come.

It should be related to the call she received in the morning.

As expected, one of them began to explain about the phone call she received in the morning.

"Miss Qin, two murders took place at Odi School. Currently, we are out of leads. Bureau Chief Yuan knew you had previous contact with our former boss, Lu Han, who’s now our leader. He called you this morning. As the talks likely fell through, Bureau Chief Yuan sent us to invite you to assist in solving the case."

Upon hearing the name "Odi School", something stirred in Qin Ruan’s heart, but she remained nonchalant. "I’m not a law enforcement officer. I’m afraid I can’t be of much help."

Another law enforcement officer hastily replied: "This case doesn’t seem to be human-related. Miss Qin, if you have time, please go and have a look. The situation is severe. Two innocent girls were killed."

Qin Ruan’s eyes lowered, staring at the tea meant for the guests on the table, she remained silent.

The two officers didn’t dare to press her and waited patiently in silence.

They were unsure whether Qin Ruan would accompany them.

Given her silence, the hope seemed slim.

It’s tough to please their newly appointed leader. They could only hope that when they return empty-handed, they wouldn’t be implicated.

How nice it would be if Chief Lu was still here.

He came from a good background and never threw his weight around. They had always had a brotherly rapport with him.
