Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!

Chapter 836: Chapter 836: Jin Ling’s Death Due to Backlash, Witch Clan’s Eternal Youth

Yuan Zhiwei maintained a distance that was neither too close nor too far, his gaze filled with terror, as he desperately suppressed the fear in his heart and observed Jin Ling.

The others were hardly at ease either. Even though they had weapons in their hands, the shock of facing someone who had risen from the dead almost overwhelmed them.

Jin Ling’s eyelashes slightly drooped as she stared at the ground beneath her feet, a flash of disdain briefly appearing in her eyes.

In her eyes, these people posed no threat at all.

"Ah!"

A cry of alarm sounded, breaking the silent standoff.

Yuan Zhiwei jumped when someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.

Turning his head and seeing it was Qin Ruan, his trembling body calmed down.

"Madam Huo, you walk without making a sound?"

The others, noticing Yuan was familiar with the newcomer, slowly released the breath that was stuck in their throats.

Qin Ruan looked up at Jin Ling, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, casually saying, "You’re just too tense. You were shaking like a sieve when I approached."

Jin Ling was also looking at her.

Their gazes collided in the void, Qin Ruan with a hint of scrutiny and assessment in her eyes, noting the subtle changes as the normal human pupils slowly shifted to vertical slits.

Jin Ling looked deeply at Qin Ruan, her gaze sharp, carrying an air of unsurpassable arrogance, and soon the corners of her lips curved into a faint smile.

Yuan Zhiwei didn’t notice the exchange between Qin Ruan and Jin Ling. He wiped his face and bitterly smiled at Qin Ruan, "The case’s victim has come back to life, making things complicated. I’ve never heard of such a horrifying matter. Madam Huo, what do you think about this?"

What he didn’t mention was that he suspected that Jin Ling was not resting in peace and that a puppet might have possessed her.

If that was indeed the case, the case would become even more complicated, and no one knew if Jin Ling might die again.

Qin Ruan withdrew her knowing gaze, her eyebrows lifting, her expression seemingly amused, "Ultimately, am I the leader, or are you? It’s clear this case is just a misunderstanding. Xia Yunchen didn’t kill anyone."

Regardless if Jin Ling was dead or alive, they first needed to clear Xia Yunchen. Otherwise, if they continued to delay, the ancient fierce beast Changyuan’s patience would run out, and it would begin a massacre, and then more than one or two people would die.

Yuan Zhiwei frowned, "The body was already cold when delivered, seen by many. The major media rushed to the hotel, holding photos of the scene. This is too bizarre."

He had already made up his mind to keep it secret; the world must not know about Jin Ling’s resurrection.

However he looked at it, this matter could not end well.

The internet was already in an uproar, not something that could be resolved with a few words.

Hearing this, Qin Ruan knew exactly what he was thinking, "Director Yuan said it well, in your position, do your duty. Whether Xia Yunchen killed someone, just arrest him if he did. If he didn’t, you don’t need to worry about how to wrap things up. There are plenty of people who can handle this perfectly."

Yuan Zhiwei lowered his eyes, pondering for a moment, then asked, "How should I explain this to the Tianxing Team?" He had already handed over the case.

"Let’s wait for them to come, then talk about it. I want to have a private talk with Jin Ling."

Since someone else was taking over, the less he was involved, the better. His mood wasn’t as heavy, and with a wave of his hand, he led his men away, "It’s quite quiet over here, nobody will come by for now. The Tianxing Team should be here soon, I’ll go to meet them."

"Thank you."

Yuan Zhiwei waved his hand, leading his subordinates away.

After they left, Qin Ruan didn’t follow up with leading the conversation but took out her phone to call Xu Enhao.

The call was answered immediately.

"Miss Qin, how is it going? Yunchen hasn’t been interrogated, has he?"

"I haven’t seen Xia Yunchen yet. There’s a new twist in the situation. Notify the company immediately. Jin Ling is still alive, she didn’t die."

"What?!!!"

The moment Xu Enhao heard this, he exploded.

"Fuck his mother! That bitch actually didn’t die, and Yunchen’s reputation is completely ruined because of her! If there’s no trickery involved, it’s a damn lie! If I find out who’s behind this, scheming to kill them!"

Xu Enhao, being a well-known figure, was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, exuding an elite aura, obviously a well-cultured man.

Now that he was swearing like this, it was apparent how frustrated he was.

However, Qin Ruan heard something else in his words, "You seem to harbor deep malice towards Jin Ling?"

Xu Enhao scoffed sarcastically, "That woman previously rushed to get close to Yunchen. She almost succeeded recently, even though she already had a sugar daddy.

A few days ago, I heard that Jin Ling had hooked up with a wealthy young master. Her team is preparing to package her as the pure lady persona, fucking hypocrite, playing both sides, it’s freaking disgusting!"

Seeing Jin Ling approaching barefoot, Qin Ruan said to Xu Enhao, "Okay, I’ve got it. Prepare to clear Yunchen’s name with the company. Jin Ling will soon leave the Criminal Investigation Bureau."

The moment she finished speaking, without waiting for a reply from Xu Enhao’s side, she ended the call.

Jin Ling stood in front of Qin Ruan and spoke coldly, "This woman dealt with the Witch Clan, and died from backlash."

Although her voice was cold, there was a hint of relief, showing that she held no hostility towards Qin Ruan.

Qin Ruan wore a smile, yet her eyes did not share the sentiment.

The Witch Clan again!

Her eyes flashed with a sinister chill, and she curved her lips into a cold arc, "What did she do?"

Jin Ling, possessed by Changyuan, with a look of disgust in her eyes, said, "This woman exchanged her lifespan for eternal youth. She’s already in her thirties but looks like she’s in her early twenties."

As an actress in the entertainment industry, thriving off youth, Qin Ruan understood Jin Ling’s desire to achieve eternal youth through unorthodox means, but wondered how a relatively unknown actress managed to deal with the Witch Clan.

"Do you know how she dealt with the Witch Clan?"

"That part of the memory seems to have been deliberately erased. I only see a person in gray robes, wrapped up tight so you can’t tell their gender, approaching Jin Ling, teaching her the secret technique of eternal youth.

Eternal youth is an Evil Technique, mainly involving the cultivation of absorbing men’s essence. My master has merits on him, for her, he was a treasure for cultivation."

Toward the end, Changyuan’s cold voice harbored a thick intent to kill.

Qin Ruan recalled using the Soul Searching Technique on the Huangjue Tree, seeing memories of the person in gray robes, handing a bottle of red liquid to the Huangjue Tree.

Her lips curled up mischievously, her interest in the Witch Clan deepened, and a dark light flashed in her eyes, "Why did Jin Ling’s body appear in Yunchen’s room?"

This question seemed to hit Changyuan’s sore spot, he scowled and said disdainfully, "That woman wanted to seduce my master, she entered his room ahead of time!"

That explained everything.

However, there was still one doubt left, why had the hotel’s surveillance system broken down?

Could it be that she had such great capability, to have prepared in advance?

Qin Ruan tossed this question to Changyuan, who shook his head, "She didn’t do anything."

Holding the doubt in her heart, Qin Ruan narrowed her eyes and asked him, "What’s your plan next?"

Changyuan said somberly, "First, I need to rescue my master."

Qin Ruan, "What about Jin Ling?"

Changyuan’s lips curved in a cruel arc, "Once my master is out, I’ll personally erase her corpse and traces."

Qin Ruan, seemingly oblivious to the malicious tone, "The Tianxing Team will be coming over soon, can you fool them?"

She could tell that Changyuan was hiding inside Jin Ling’s body, unsure if the Tianxing Team could also discern that.

A snicker sounded, and Changyuan released a powerful oppressive aura around him, "They are just a bunch of ignorant humans, no one will recognize my true form."

"Oh?" Qin Ruan raised an eyebrow and laughed, "I’m also human."
