Chapter 890: Chapter 890: Huo Junxin Chickened Out, Seeks Help from His Younger Brother

Old Master Huo, unable to attend to his two great-grandsons sprawled on the carpet, picked up the mobile phone from the table and called Lu Tianrong.

It was indeed coincidental that just as he got through, Huo Junxin, who was in the Cabinet, had returned to his office.

Lu Tianrong answered the phone and greeted with a hearty laugh, "Old Huo, what made you think of calling me?"

Upon hearing that it was his own grandfather calling, a trace of surprise flashed across the usually stern face of Huo Junxin.

Sitting on the couch in the living room, Old Master Huo, his hands calloused, tapped on his knee and asked in a low voice, "Tianrong, I heard you sent out the Cabinet Guard Squad on a mission."

The smile on Lu Tianrong’s face paused a moment, and he glanced at Huo Junxin, whose expression remained unchanged.

Lu Tianrong, now wielding power in the Cabinet, set down the pen he was holding, relaxed into his office chair, and explained the reason with a laugh in his voice.

After listening, Old Master Huo thought to himself that his daughter-in-law would never collude with people from the Black Feather Organization.

The Yan Family, Qin Ruan’s maternal family, had been severely harmed by the Black Feather Organization. It would be good enough if she didn’t seek trouble with the Black Feather members, let alone collaborate with them for traitorous gains. Such a notion was completely absurd!

The old gentleman’s voice grew a bit heavier as he said, "Did the person who sent the tip.off check clearly whether the person staying in that villa is my family’s Yunjiao’s little Madam?"

The smile disappeared from Lu Tianrong’s face as he looked toward Huo Junxin, who was checking his phone’s messages.

The latter bowed his head, his fingertips sliding across the phone screen, still unaware of the severity of the situation.

Lu Tianrong turned on the speakerphone, his voice slightly hoarse as he said, "Old Huo, please don’t scare me."

Huo Junxin, hearing the unease in Lu Tianrong’s voice, lifted his eyelids and stared at the person seated at the desk, whose expression was slightly distorted.

Old Master Huo said meaningfully, "Ruanruan, that girl won’t have any entanglements with the Black Feather Organization, and even if she does, it would be a do-or-die standoff."

Yunjiao still doesn’t know that Ruanruan is surrounded by your people. Given how much he values that girl, don’t let anything happen to her, as my grandson is extremely protective of her."

His beloved grandson had finally found a kindred spirit. If she were to get hurt, it would likely cause a great deal of trouble.

Upon receiving the news that Qin Ruan was involved in this incident, Huo Junxin’s handsome face stiffened, his complexion visibly turning pale.

If he remembered correctly, when he had given the orders earlier, he had specifically instructed the Guard Squad to ensure no unintended public panic; they could opt to kill without leaving any survivors.

Did that mean he had ordered the execution of his own brother and sister?

"Thump!"

The mobile phone in Huo Junxin’s hand fell to the ground, making a dull sound.

Lu Tianrong, realizing the seriousness of the situation, did not wait to respond to Old Master Huo, but hung up abruptly and directly called the Guard Captain in charge of the operation.

Huo Junxin’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed subconsciously, something coming to mind, he bent down to pick up his phone.

The moment he got his phone, he searched for Huo Yunjiao’s number, and his thumb paused on that series of digits.

He hesitated for only a few seconds before his finger slid on the screen, finding Huo Yirong’s number and pressing it.

Both men were frantically trying to manage the situation, but it was already too late.

The Ke Family villa was now occupied by the Cabinet Guard Squad and special elite personnel.

When they burst into Ke Yiming’s room, dozens of dark gun muzzles were aimed at the three bewildered people inside.

At that time, Ke Yiming had just found a video suspected to be of Hen Nianzhen on the national forums within the Black Mandala Network.

He was about to click on the video when suddenly, the Cabinet Guard Squad burst in, preventing him from continuing his search for the truth.

Ke Zhibin, staring at these uninvited guests in special uniforms emanating an Evil Qi, felt his mind blur for a moment, what a completely unexpected series of events; his legs went weak.

Ke Yiming’s face was also deathly pale, being confronted by so many weapons, even a kid with thick nerves would find it a miracle not to cry.

Qin Ruan withdrew her hand from the table and furrowed her brows as she sized up the dozens of people who had entered, filling the not-so-small bedroom space.

Her calm eyes swept over the crowd, and her cool voice slowly rose, "Who are you?"

The leading man’s gaze on Qin Ruan paused slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He was about to speak when an urgent call came through his earpiece, "Action Team One, Action Team One, this is Guard Captain Gu Mingyan, please respond if you hear this!"

The man standing opposite Qin Ruan spoke in a low, deep voice, "Received, I am the leader of Action Team One, codenamed Falcon."

Gu Mingyan’s voice sounded very young and grave, "Have you entered now?"

Falcon glanced at Qin Ruan and the other two, "We have penetrated the interior and have controlled all members."

As soon as he finished speaking, heavy breathing sounds came from across the earpiece.

Gu Mingyan’s tone was very grave, "Falcon, there has been a change in the situation.

We just controlled seven suspected foreign forces outside, and it is now confirmed they are Capital City Huo Family’s Hidden Guards; they were accompanying Madam Huo, the wife of Third Master Huo, to visit a friend today."

Falcon sharply looked up, his gaze as piercing as a knife, fixed on Qin Ruan.

No wonder he thought Qin Ruan looked familiar; she was the young wife of Huo Third Master.

He had seen her from a distance at a certain banquet, and aside from Qin Ruan’s unique aura, his memory of her appearance wasn’t vivid.

Now, prompted by Gu Mingyan, Falcon sifted through his distant memories to find a blurred image of Qin Ruan in a dress.

Gu Mingyan’s voice rang out again through the earpiece, "That woman called Huo Zhi holds a certain position in the Huo Family’s Hidden Guard, and she is now on her way to see Madam Huo."

Falcon’s authoritative face darkened as he commanded coldly, "Let her in!"

His words had just finished when the door, which had been closed behind him, emitted a slight sound.

A man and a woman entered through the door, the former’s hands shackled in handcuffs—Huo Zhi.

The latter was a slender man with bright, star-like eyes and a handsome face, exhibiting a casual and flirtatious demeanor.

The man placed his hand on Huo Zhi’s shoulder, stopping her from moving forward.

He stepped forward, passing Huo Zhi, nodded politely towards Qin Ruan’s direction, and said with a smile, "Greetings, Little Third Sister-in-Law."

This man was none other than the Cabinet Guard Captain, Gu Mingyan, and also the second young master of the Gu Family.

...

Lu Tianrong called his Guard Captain Gu Mingyan, but the result was as expected.

Once in operation, all communication devices would enter silent mode, and more strictly, be turned off or removed.

Lu Tianrong’s face was ashen as he set down his phone and looked up at Huo Junxin standing in front of the office desk.

The latter had just gotten through to Huo Yirong’s phone.

Upon receiving a call from his elder brother, Huo Yirong, who was now able to walk slowly after getting out of bed, expressed his confusion, "Big brother?"

Huo Junxin was slightly cowardly, yet his voice remained as calm as ever, "Yirong, I might have done something that offended our third brother."

With the gloom of the past few days dispelled, curiosity piqued by his older brother, Huo Yirong asked with a laugh, "What did Big Brother do?"
