Chapter 895: Chapter 895: The Grand Arrival of Emperor Huo Sanye, He is Furious!
Qin Ruan’s complexion was as somber as water, with an undertone of rage about to erupt in her voice, and the gaze she fixed on Falcon sent shivers down one’s spine.
How could she not be infuriated, how could she not be incensed!
The shot that had been fired at her, had she not dodged, would have claimed her life on the spot.
Falcon stared back at Qin Ruan with eyes full of hostility, his thick lips pressed together tightly, no longer uttering a word.
The sudden turn of events had scared the Ke father and son into retreating a good distance, huddling in the corner by the computer desk, dreading that these people would come to seize them.
With both sides in a standoff, Qin Ruan, holding absolute authority in the conversation, had the upper hand, allowing the father and son duo to breathe a small sigh of relief.
Then, a greater sense of crisis overwhelmed them.
The intruders in their home were from the Cabinet Guard Squad, along with special elite personnel, and leading them was a scion of the Capital City’s four great families, the Gu Family.
Ke Zhibin’s eyes flickered, as he let go of his son’s shoulder and staggeringly advanced, kneeling before Qin Ruan.
His sudden action baffled everyone present.
A grown man, Ke Zhibin was not ashamed to cling to Qin Ruan’s legs as he wailed pitifully, "Madam Huo! From beginning to end, you know everything perfectly well. Our Ke Family has never done anything to harm our home, and I won’t carry this unwarranted blame!
Although Yahuang Entertainment is not the largest taxpayer, it still pays taxes of two to three billion a year. I have worked hard to achieve what I have today, and both my family and career are based here. I could never do those contemptible things. Madam Huo, you must save me!"
Ke Zhibin, having been in the business world for decades and achieving his current status, relied largely on his acute business instincts.
Analyzing the conversation between Qin Ruan and Gu Mingyan, and observing how they treated Qin Ruan with various considerations, he surmised the recent developments from the higher-ups and grasped some previously unclear matters.
Those in business circles knew somewhat about the movements of the Capital City’s four great families and the six aristocratic families.
Among them, the leading family, the Huo Family, had this year’s events being the most hotly discussed.
Rumors had it that the next in line to take charge of the Huo Family had married the daughter of the Qin Group.
The Qin Group owned a chain of jewelry stores, with nearly a thousand across the country, but even with their wealth, they didn’t match the prestigious Huo Family.
Qin Ruan’s surname was Qin, and Gu Mingyan came from the Capital City’s four great families, the Gu family, and Falcon addressed Qin Ruan as Madam Huo.
Everything matched up.
Just now, Ke Zhibin thought through a lot in a short time.
Being labeled as a traitor to their homeland, both his family and company would face a life-or-death crisis, a consequence he could not afford.
The only one who could protect the Ke Family now was Qin Ruan, and even if it meant losing face, Ke Zhibin was prepared to cling to Qin Ruan’s legs.
Qin Ruan lowered her eyes, scrutinizing Ke Zhibin with furrowed brows, "If you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve got nothing to fear. Mr. Ke, you’re asking me to save you, could it be that you really have done something?"
Seeing Ke Zhibin cry so wretchedly, she could not help but be doubtful.
"How could I possibly!" Ke Zhibin’s tears stopped instantly.
Qin Ruan, noticing the speed at which he changed his demeanor, twitched the corner of her mouth and said speechlessly, "If you haven’t done anything, then why all the crying and wailing?"
Ke Zhibin looked up at her, patting his chest and with a morose face, "Once Yahuang Entertainment is targeted by the authorities, a slew of investigations will inevitably follow. This would surely affect the company, and the stock market would feel the first blow.
If things get serious, Yahuang Entertainment could very well be on the brink of delisting—wouldn’t I be doomed?
I have the elderly to take care of and children to feed at home. If it all goes south, where could I possibly muster the strength to fight at my age? My whole family would be out on the streets!"
Qin Ruan resisted rolling her eyes at his exaggerated claims, and spoke to him earnestly, "You should have faith that the authorities would never wrong an innocent person."
Ke Zhibin’s eyes were fixed on the bullet in her hand, his face openly skeptical.
This is what it means not to wrong a good person? It had escalated to a matter of life and death!
Qin Ruan followed his gaze to the bullet in her hand and carelessly tossed it into a corner, coughing uncomfortably twice.
Falcon wouldn’t allow their malicious speculation and said in a heavy voice, "Before entering, I had issued an order."
Was this an explanation?
Qin Ruan and Ke Zhibin looked towards him.
Falcon coldly replied, "If the Number One Action Group doesn’t come out within a certain period, the other action groups outside are allowed to disregard the presence of their own people inside and directly kill the criminal suspects."
Qin Ruan’s eyes slightly widened, and she let out a low curse, "Dammit!"
Ke Zhibin’s eyes bulged, and he pressed even closer to the ground, already kneeling: "You’re, you’re playing for keeps?!"
He disregarded the danger and turned to yell at Ke Yiming, who was standing in front of the computer desk, "Yiming! Get down on the ground!"
Once the people laying in ambush outside fired again, anyone standing would be an obvious target, and no one would be able to escape.
Qin Ruan turned her head to look at the balcony of the opposite residence where someone had been lurking and noticed that they had retreated.
Her expression grew grave as she released Falcon from her hold.
He immediately stood up and distanced himself from her.
Confusion emerged in Qin Ruan’s eyes, and she pointed in the direction where someone had previously shot at her, "If it is as you say, why is there no movement outside now, it looks like your people have withdrawn."
Falcon and Gu Mingyan also showed confusion in their eyes. The operation had been perfectly arranged, and by now, the people outside should have stormed in long ago.
Just then, orderly and heavy footsteps sounded from outside the door.
"Bang!"
The half-open door was kicked open from the outside.
The door slammed against the wall, making a loud thud.
The man who walked in first was dressed in a black coat, holding a weapon not seen on the market.
He was tall with handsome, scholarly features, and the pair of glasses on his nose could not hide his deep, still eyes.
His handsome and genteel appearance, combined with an air of cold indifference and a forbidding aura, made him seem exceedingly domineering.
Behind him followed more than a dozen tall, burly men in black suits radiating an aura of deadly determination.
The man was none other than Lord Huo who, upon learning that his beloved wife was cornered, had rushed over from the company in a hurry.
As soon as he appeared, everyone’s expressions varied.
Huo Yunjiao’s emotionless eyes gazed at Qin Ruan and seeing her unharmed, his tightly drawn, handsome, and indifferent face slightly relaxed.
However, upon seeing that all the weapons in the room were aimed at Qin Ruan, Lord Huo’s thin lips tightened slightly, and his pitch-black eyes darkened a shade.
He elegantly and authoritatively raised the weapon in his hand and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
The piercing sound of the gunshot rang out.
Huo Yunjiao silently surveyed everyone in the room, his gaze carrying an invisible pressure that enveloped everyone present.
He was like a sovereign with everything under control, the powerful aura he exuded making everyone on the scene uneasy, including Qin Ruan.
Falcon, being closest to Huo Yunjiao, felt his heartbeat race, his breaths becoming rapid.
His Adam’s apple bobbed, and he bowed slightly toward the man at the doorway, his face showing solemn respect, "Lord Huo."
