Chapter 832: Chapter 832: Qin Er Shao Mourns for Ruanruan in His Heart

"I will instruct them," Yuan Zhiwei said, knowing that Qin Ruan was reluctant to get involved. He then asked, "Is there anything else we need to be aware of?"

Thinking of Xu Enhao’s request, Qin Ruan’s tone was much gentler, "If Xia Yunchen wakes up, please let me know, Yuan. Someone wants to meet him."

"...Okay!" Yuan Zhiwei hesitated and then reluctantly agreed.

Technically, Xia Yunchen was a key figure in this murder case and the prime suspect, and no one was supposed to see him.

However, Qin Ruan’s prestigious status and the influence of the Huo Family were not something he could afford to offend.

"Thank you."

Qin Ruan ended the call and glanced sideways at the man beside her with a stare.

As if Huo Yunjiao hadn’t seen the annoyance in her eyes, he smiled gently, "Do you need to go out again today?"

He had clearly heard the content of the call.

With talk of murder, the distinguished actor Xia, and the Tianxing Team, it was clear the case was no small matter.

It seemed like Qin Ruan was about to head out again.

However... Huo Yunjiao lowered his gaze, looking at Qin Ruan’s waist, a meaningful sparkle passing through his handsome, gentle eyes.

Already preparing to be lazy, Qin Ruan bristled under Huo Yunjiao’s meaningful gaze.

She said with a forced smile, "Indeed, there’s something. I might not come back tonight."

Saying this, she stepped back from Huo Yunjiao’s embrace, didn’t even greet Qin Mei who was sitting on the couch, and headed straight upstairs.

From a distance, despite her efforts to appear composed, her walking posture still betrayed a bit of abnormality.

A faint smile emerged in Huo Yunjiao’s eyes, indulgent and permissive.

This girl’s temperament was growing.

But when irked, the slight reddening at the corners of her eyes added a touch of liveliness, making one want to pet her.

Qin Mei just watched as Huo Yunjiao irritated his sister.

And looking at his brother-in-law, with a gleam in his eyes, it sent a chill down one’s spine.

The seemingly gentle Huo Yunjiao was clearly a cunning, scheming old fox.

Qin Mei couldn’t help but sympathize with his younger sister inwardly.

...

While Qin Ruan was changing her clothes, she received a call.

The caller ID showed an unknown number, and it was an international call.

She answered the phone and heard a familiar voice on the other end.

Yan Xirong, just before boarding his plane, recalled feeling another faint presence in the hotel when he was somewhat groggy, besides Jennifer.

The other person was too quiet, almost imperceptible, making him think it was a hallucination until Qin Ruan mentioned someone was monitoring them—he suspected it might not have been a hallucination.

"...If you say that the person monitoring us is real, I don’t think someone from the Brucester Family or the Black Feather members possess such capabilities, as most adherents of the Black Feather are of low social standings, struggling to survive in society."

"This time, the Yan Family suffered due to Black Feather’s schemes. The family’s internal investigation revealed some interesting information: Black Feather hadn’t had much of a presence until they suddenly rose to prominence over the past year, frequently appearing before the public, which is highly unusual."

"The Yan Family is not the first wealthy family targeted by Black Feather’s recent activities. Previously, the victims were unimportant rich merchants, which didn’t attract much attention."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ruan asked expressionlessly, "Are you asking me to deal with Black Feather?"

After all, she had little interest in the Yan Family, Black Feather, or the so-called Brucester Family.

Amidst the noise on the other end, Yan Xirong’s voice was mixed with resignation and a tone of placating a younger person, "This time I fell ill, and my father invited witches from the East, which according to Yan Family intelligence, may be involved with Black Feather."

With the chaotic background noise, the other party’s coherent speech clearly reached Qin Ruan’s ears.

Witches?

Witches again!

Qin Ruan furrowed her brows tightly. Yan Xirong’s emphasis was on the witches.

Her eyes took on a bloodthirsty, ruthless cold light as she spoke in a calm and gentle tone, "Alright, I understand. After you return to the country, notify me if there’s any news. I have some issues with the Witch Clan, try not to disturb them."

If there were no issues, why did most incidents involving her close ones tangle with the Witch Clan?

What exactly did the Witch Clan want to do? Qin Ruan’s tolerance for them was getting lower and lower.

"Alright, we’re about to board the plane." Yan Xirong tactfully didn’t ask what grievances Qin Ruan had with the Witch Clan.

Qin Ruan: "Have a safe trip."

"This is my phone number, jot it down. Stay in touch anytime there’s an issue."

"Hmm—"

Qin Ruan ended the call, grabbed the windbreaker from the bed, and dialed Lin Hao to connect with Ling Xiaoxuan.

"Madam?" Lin Hao’s voice was somewhat deep and resonant, clearly on speakerphone.

"Xiaoxuan, I’m almost there. Did you prepare any food? I haven’t eaten yet. If you don’t feed me when I come to stay with you, I’ll cry for you!"

Ling Xiaoxuan chattered away, her tone quite relaxed, suggesting she was in a good mood.

Qin Ruan laughed, "There’s plenty of food, but I have to step out soon. First, hand my people back to me."

This time she planned to have Lin Hao accompany her; his Yin Yang Eye was helpful to her.

"I’m almost there," whispered Ling Xiaoxuan. "I came for you; you’re not going to leave me all alone in the Huo Family, are you? I don’t want to face Third Master; spare my dog’s life, please!"

Everyone said that Third Master was modest and graceful, but after a few interactions, Ling Xiaoxuan could clearly see that aside from showing some warmth around Qin Ruan, Third Master’s natural aloofness was cold enough to freeze someone to death when facing them.

Qin Ruan thought for a moment: "My second brother is also here. I’ll have him arrange a place for you to stay. I’ll come to find you after I handle everything."

Ling Xiaoxuan asked excitedly, "You’re not going to catch a Puppet, are you?"

Qin Ruan was in a good mood and teased her: "Guess?"

Ling Xiaoxuan was excited: "I bet it is, I want to go too!"

Lin Hao’s official tone followed: "Madam, we have arrived, right outside."

"I’m coming downstairs now."

Qin Ruan hung up the call and walked out the door.

Huo Yunjiao and Huo Qiang were whispering in the corridor; seeing Qin Ruan emerge from the bedroom and noticing her outfit, they knew she was about to leave.

Third Master glanced at the bag in her hands and asked gently, "So you really won’t be back tonight?"

"This matter is quite complicated. I might have to lie in wait tonight."

It wasn’t that Qin Ruan was being temperamental downstairs earlier; Xia Yunchen’s situation this time was truly troublesome.

Huo Yunjiao’s brow furrowed slightly, then relaxed: "It’s inconvenient for you to be alone outside. Should Huo Zhi accompany you?" He asked politely without overstepping.

With Huo Zhi around, everything would be well arranged, but Qin Ruan didn’t want an extra burden.

Without a second thought, she declined: "No need, having Lin Hao with me is enough. Too many people make things inconvenient."

Huo Yunjiao stepped closer and asked in a low voice, "Can your body take it?"

Had he known Qin Ruan was going out today, he wouldn’t have overeaten the night before.

Ashamed, Third Master rarely felt a twinge of guilt.

A blush flashed across Qin Ruan’s face, her gaze lowered: "It’s not a big problem. I’m leaving now; Lin Hao is waiting downstairs."

Huo Yunjiao’s raised hand slowly fell: "Go then, come back after you’ve resolved everything. I’ll wait for you at home."

Qin Ruan hastened her departure, her rosy cheeks fading as she left.

Huo Yunjiao’s profound eyes watched her retreating figure, the gentleness in his eyes fading and replaced with a shadow as deep and cold as an unfathomable icy pool.

This depth was not directed at Qin Ruan but at the conversation he had just had with Huo Qiang, which had angered him.

Knowing his master’s mood was bad, Huo Qiang still braced himself to step forward: "Third Master, how should we explain this to the elders?"

The bunch picked the worst time to show up, the day after Madam’s birthday, clearly making it unpleasant for everyone.
