Chapter 868: Chapter 868: Qin Ruan’s Dilemma, You Must Continue to Play Dumb

Capital City’s other hospital.

Ke Zhibin received detailed information about his eldest son Ke Yiming’s investigation into his wife Hen Nianzhen at noon.

His hand clutching the documents throbbed with bulging veins, an uncontrollably furious expression on his face, bloodthirsty and terrifying, his eyes sharp like an eagle’s, filled with blood red, as if about to erupt any second.

It took him only a few short minutes to go through the material, and Ke Zhibin was close to exploding with rage.

Since their marriage, Hen Nianzhen had had several affairs, and behind the scenes she used the influence of Yahuang Entertainment to sleep with one young man after another.

These men were not famous stars, they were merely transactions of money for physical satisfaction, and their affairs didn’t lead to any emotional entanglements.

In the second half of this year, Hen Nianzhen took a liking to a newcomer in the circle, maintaining him with money and resources.

Just a month ago, due to emotional issues, she killed him.

The murder was secretive; it wasn’t initially exposed, but the man became a vengeful Puppet, seeking Hen Nianzhen for retribution.

Realizing the danger, Hen Nianzhen hired a Heavenly Master to kill the Puppet for a high price of ten million in earnest money.

And in her hands, there was more than just one life taken.

Discovering that the victim had a girlfriend, whom Hen Nianzhen threatened to keep controlling the victim, when the victim’s girlfriend found out about the arrangement there were disputes, and Hen Nianzhen went so far as to pay someone to knock her dead.

Ke Zhibin trembled with anger, he couldn’t believe that the woman who had lain by his side had turned out to be a venomous viper.

The documents in his hands were furiously slammed down on the table, "Good! Very good! This poisonous woman actually dares to do anything!"

Ke Yihui personally sent someone to investigate, and from the moment he got the materials, he knew every vile act Hen Nianzhen had committed. While he was shocked, more of his concerns were for his elderly father’s health and the potential impact on the company.

Seeing his father so enraged, Ke Yihui took out the fast-acting heart pills he had prepared, "Dad, don’t be angry, take the medicine first, be careful not to hurt yourself with anger."

"I’m going to kill that woman!" Ke Zhibin waved his hand, rejecting his son’s attempt to medicate him, cursing, "Bitch, whore! Call the police! Get her arrested!"

Ke Yihui had never before seen his father, full of hate, foregoing his own composure and using such crude language.

He held his father’s shoulders, his tone serious and heartfelt, "Dad, we certainly need to call the police, but we must handle this discreetly to avoid further damaging the company’s reputation.

The most pressing matter is to figure out where Hen Nianzhen’s money is coming from. She just took over a historical drama a few months ago, and the company allocated one billion yuan to her. The production is about to wrap up, and the money should have been spent. She shouldn’t have so much cash on hand. Could it be possible that she pocketed it under the guise of supervision?

In the last few years, she’s handled several of the company’s investment projects. Strangely, every project she’s responsible for never shows any profits; the company isn’t interested in small gains, but we also shouldn’t be losing all our money."

Ke Zhibin’s sense of reason returned, his bloodshot eyes staring at his son, a chill rising from the soles of his feet to his heart.

That’s right, where did Hen Nianzhen get all that money to pay the Heavenly Master to handle the Puppet?

Though he was never stingy with Hen Nianzhen, the amount of money he provided her for turnover wasn’t large; emotionally and financially, he always kept a clear distinction.

The reason he married Hen Nianzhen in the first place was that he thought she knew her place and wouldn’t covet what didn’t belong to her, yet unbeknownst to him, he had welcomed a wolf into his fold.

"Damn it!"

Ke Zhibin cursed and began dialing on his phone.

...

Huo Mansion.

Qin Ruan had no idea about the developments in the Ke Family, but recalling last night’s encounter between Huo Yao and Huo Anqi, and considering the fact that the two kids began to speak, she decided to talk to them.

The servant saw the Madam push the door open and bowed in greeting, "Madam."

Qin Ruan waved her hand, "No need for that now, Ayao, Anqi, and I will manage."

"Yes, Madam—"

The servant placed down what she was arranging and quickly left the room.

Huo Yao and Huo Anqi were sitting on the children’s bed, looking at each other with a similar sentiment of panic in their eyes.

Qin Ruan walked over to the small bed, her voice soft as water, tender to the utmost, "Ayao, Anqi, mom is here, won’t you call out?"

The two little ones on the bed shivered, sensing something was amiss and immediately crawled towards the head of the bed.

Their little bottoms wriggled as they climbed with their tiny arms and legs, moving swiftly.

Qin Ruan originally intended to tease the children, but she didn’t expect them to be so timid, which was not like their reckless boldness when facing the ancient fierce beast last night.

She knelt by the bed on one knee and grabbed a little foot with each hand, pulling Huo Yao and Huo Anqi closer.

Qin Ruan set her face in a stern expression and pretended to be displeased as she asked in a deep voice, "Spit it out! What else are you hiding from me?"

"Mom!" Huo Yao was the first to speak, his voice crisp, not at all like a child who had just learned to speak.

Qin Ruan kept her face stern, her nasal voice light, "Hmm?"

Huo Yao extracted the black Hook Snake scale given to him by Changyuan from last night, manifesting it from his body control, "This was a meeting gift from that crawler last night. He said it’s a black scale from the Hook Snake Tribe, refined by their supreme technique into a protective scale."

The black scale, swirling with the Evil Qi of ancient fierce beasts, obediently quelled its fierce pressure in Huo Yao’s small hand, the palm-sized scale compliant.

Qin Ruan curved her lips into a smile, her expression softening, "This is nice."

She pinched Huo Anqi’s little foot, and he immediately, understandingly, manifested the broken tail Hu Yixian had given him in his palm.

Huo Anqi obediently presented the broken tail to Qin Ruan, "This is a meeting gift from Uncle Hu Yixian. If I encounter any danger, I can summon him with it; it’s a life-saving secret technique of the Fox Clan."

Qin Ruan nodded, "They are indeed good to you."

She let go of Huo Yao and Huo Anqi’s little feet and sat beside the bed, her upper body leaning on the headboard.

Seeing her mood had softened, Huo Yao boldly climbed up onto Qin Ruan’s legs and asked in a soft voice, with an adorable face, "Mom, are you not angry anymore?"

Qin Ruan gave Huo Yao, who was lying next to her, a sidelong glance, "Since you can speak, why hide it?"

Huo Anqi crawled up beside her, his black eyes looking up at Qin Ruan with an expression of distress, "We are only a few months old; it would scare people."

Qin Ruan let out a snort of laughter and said indifferently, "You were extraordinary since birth, how can you be compared with ordinary children? Now that you can speak, don’t pretend to be mute anymore. Remember to address people when your father returns."

From the bottom of her heart, she hoped Third Master would also know that the children could now call ’Dad’ and ’Mom’.

Huo Yao, with furrowed brows, asked, "What if someone harbors malice towards us?"

Qin Ruan’s eyelids drooped slightly, thinking that such articulate children might attract the attention of some research fanatics from certain fields. If they really targeted the children, with the Huo Family’s power and her own abilities, she was not worried about being unable to protect them, but it would still be quite troublesome.

After some thought, she voiced a warning, "There’s no need to hide anything from family, but outside, you should still pretend to be mute."

According to the normal timeline, a few months was all it would take for a child to start speaking.
