Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!
Chapter 891: This is a jab at Master Huo’s heart

Chapter 891: Chapter 891: This is a jab at Master Huo’s heart

Facing his younger brother’s inquiry, Huo Junxin simply explained what had happened.

This included Lu Tianrong’s order to arrest without regard for casualties!

And his instructions to the Guard Squad to avoid harming the surrounding civilians, allowing the option to execute the target on the spot.

It wasn’t his fault, anyone who collaborated with external forces to disrupt their homeland’s peace had to pay a bloody price.

Sending the Cabinet’s Guard Squad to act and execute on the spot if necessary was always a necessary and ruthless measure during their operations.

Only this time, the "enemy" standing on the opposing side had turned out to be his own family member.

After hearing this, Huo Yirong was silent for a long time, making Huo Junxin feel even more uneasy.

He sighed softly, " Yirong, why aren’t you saying anything?"

Huo Yirong’s weak voice transmitted through the speaker into Huo Junxin’s ear: "Big brother, remove ’might’."

The latter, confused, said, "What?"

Huo Yirong laughed bitterly: "Where is there a ’might’ in what you did to offend our third brother? It’s clear that you’ve already offended him. Normally, if I speak ill of my siblings, the third brother dares to give me a piece of his mind.

You, on the other hand, went ahead and sanctioned a death order against our sister, that’s exactly like stabbing our third brother right in the heart."

Huo Junxin knew how important Qin Ruan was to the third brother.

To say his youngest brother, so precious and elegant, ranks among the most handsome men in Capital City, his life path seemed clear until he had none of the arrangements for marriage or having children.

Qin Ruan entered the third brother’s hopeless, dull life with an irresistible charm, adding a unique color to it.

Now, his third brother both had a marriage and children, not to mention the entire family supported Qin Ruan, and Huo Yunjiao even protected her like the apple of his eye.

Recalling the past months’ changes within the family, Huo Yunjiao had fully committed to paving a way for Qin Ruan, treating her like a pampered child wasn’t an exaggeration.

Thinking about the troublesome matters, Huo Junxin rubbed the tired center of his brows and told the person on the other end of the phone, "Stop talking nonsense, now go and give the third brother a heads-up."

Huo Yirong flatly refused: "I won’t go."

Upon being refused, Huo Junxin didn’t give up and tried to entice him with words, "You’re still not well, talk about this with our third brother. He has a good temper and won’t be annoyed with you."

Huo Yirong rolled his eyes and scoffed coldly: "Ha! If the third brother has such a good temper, why don’t you go talk to him yourself?"

Everyone in the family knew that although the third brother seemed to have a good temper, he was intolerable when truly angered.

Huo Junxin replied as if it were a given, "I still have things to arrange here, cleaning up the mess that’s been created."

Huo Yirong blunty tore down his pretense: "Nice words, it’s just that you’re too cowardly and hiding yourself."

"Cough, cough..." Stripped of his façade by his younger brother, Huo Junxin coughed awkwardly and persisted, "Yirong, listen to me, later your sister-in-law will make you something delicious."

Long Wei, Huo Junxin’s wife, knowledgeable and reasonable with a gentle nature, was the intelligent and elegant eldest daughter of the Long Family, and also possessed admirable culinary skills.

Usually busy with work, she rarely entered the kitchen, but whenever she had time to cook, the family supported her and constantly praised her cooking skills.

Huo Yirong remained silent, clearly hesitating.

Considering the third brother’s protective stance towards Qin Ruan, he quickly firmed up his position, telling Huo Junxin, "I’d rather forgo the delicacies from my sister-in-law than provoke that wife-protective maniac of a third brother."

Huo Junxin was left helpless, his tone slightly lowered, hinting at a vulnerability only understood between brothers, "Yirong..."

As soon as he heard that tone of voice, Huo Yirong immediately spoke up to stop him, "Enough, enough, ever since we were little you’ve been manipulating me. I don’t need any delicacies from my sister-in-law either. Big brother, think of a way to help me move out, I want to live somewhere else."

Huo Junxin furrowed his brows and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Huo Yirong spoke casually, "I’m preparing to quickly resolve the lethal Guiyang Gu and need Song Qing’s help to recuperate outside."

Huo Junxin was aware of the treatment arrangements that Gongsun Yibo had set up for Huo Yirong, and he knew the details well. He respected his brother’s choices.

When the other party suggested getting treated outside, Huo Junxin was puzzled, "Can’t you receive treatment at home?"

Huo Yirong’s voice was faint, carrying an inexplicable sadness, "I’m just worried that something might happen during the treatment and then grandfather would worry again.

"He comes over twice a day to make sure I’m still breathing before he feels relieved. Today, Ayao and Anqi are with him, so he didn’t come to my pavilion this afternoon."

Speaking of Grandfather Huo’s concern for him, Huo Yirong only felt that it was the painful part of an elder’s care.

Hearing this, Huo Junxin immediately refused without a second thought, "No, Capital City has been somewhat chaotic lately. Just stay home for your treatment. Grandfather won’t have time to fret over you; he will be attending various events in a few days."

By the end of the year, as a treasured figure of the older generation, he had to be on camera several times a year.

As for him, as the capable secretary to Lu Tianrong, he too had to accompany the latter to all major events.

Still not giving up, Huo Yirong tried to negotiate, "What if grandfather finds out? It’d be better for him if I were treated outside, so he won’t be so worried."

Huo Junxin thought for a moment and said, "I will be present at the occasions grandfather attends. I will report the schedule to you then, so you can focus on your treatment without worries."

Huo Yirong was silent for a moment and reluctantly agreed, "Fine then."

His brother compliant, Huo Junxin breathed a sigh of relief.

Remembering the purpose of the call, he asked again, "And the third brother?"

"I’m about to call him now." Sounds of slight movement came from Huo Yirong, suggesting others might be present.

As Huo Junxin was listening intently, Huo Yirong’s questioning voice followed, "Who’s leading the Cabinet Guard Squad’s operation this time?"

Huo Junxin named an individual, "Gu Mingyan."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yirong laughed, "Then there shouldn’t be any big issues; he knows our sister-in-law."

"That’s exactly what I thought, so I contacted you and our third brother first, to avoid any discomfort he might feel upon hearing the news."

"Understood, I’ll hang up now and call our third brother."

"Alright——"

Huo Junxin hung up the phone, his heart gradually calming down, and he sighed in relief.

Seeing his relaxed expression, Lu Tianrong felt uneasy, his tone serious as he spoke, "Junxin, Gu Mingyan’s phone is unavailable."

Huo Junxin regained his usual composed and cultured demeanor, nodding, "I’ll call the sister-in-law to see if she can reach him, sir, please don’t worry too much."

He believed as long as he could reassure their third brother, everything else could be easily handled.

"Good."

Lu Tianrong’s face appeared affable, but deep down he was not comforted.

Listening to Huo Junxin’s phone call with his second brother, the tone, demeanor, and the content spoken were not hard to imagine how Huo Yunjiao, knowing his young wife was besieged, would react vehemently.

Unfortunately, what Huo Junxin thought was too optimistic, as Gu Mingyan belonged to the rare direct lineage of the Cabinet.

Uncompromising in his actions, any suspect threatening their homeland was treated without discrimination in his eyes.
