Chapter 897: Chapter 897: Qin Ruan’s Survival Instinct Kicks In, Trying to Please by Calling Someone ’Third Brother

Qin Ruan clearly felt heat in the places where Third Master’s fingertips had touched her.

Huo Yunjiao looked as if he had done nothing, his expression both cultured and scholarly, every inch the gentleman.

He raised his hand and patted Qin Ruan on the head as if dealing with a troublesome child, "Are you scared now?"

Qin Ruan looked up, meeting the coldness in the man’s eyes, recalling those thin lips that carried an ambiguous smile.

A sense of unease inexplicably filled her heart, a keen instinct for unknown dangers.

Qin Ruan nodded subconsciously, promising aloud, "Next time someone bullies me, I’ll definitely seek help from Third Brother to vent my anger."

Gone was the formal address of Third Master; her pleasant voice sweetly calling out "Third Brother."

Qin Ruan’s survival instinct kicked in, knowing now was the time to say whatever was pleasing, choosing words the other party liked to hear, certain nothing would go wrong.

Huo Yunjiao’s suppressed displeasure was about to surface, but upon hearing Qin Ruan’s sweetly uttered "Third Brother," any hint of unhappiness instantly vanished.

His eyes softened with a tender smile as they settled on Qin Ruan, his brows slightly raised, "Now your mouth knows how to be sweet."

In front of everyone in the room, he lifted his hand and gently caressed his little wife’s nose, the gesture affectionate, with a reassurance unknown to outsiders.

Qin Ruan’s heart slowly settled back in place. She swayed Huo Yunjiao’s arm, a sweet smile on her face, "Third Brother, I promise this is absolutely the last time. I definitely won’t make you worry again."

Internally, she couldn’t help but remark, how could she not sweeten her words? If she didn’t, you would get angry, and then something unpleasant would happen to me.

Gu Mingyan and Falcon, standing by, twitched their lips upon hearing Qin Ruan’s pledge.

Who exactly was bullying whom?

Qin Ruan had previously, single-handedly, taken on dozens of elite members trained through Hell mode, managing it effortlessly.

Gu Mingyan and Falcon cast doubtful glances at Huo Yunjiao. Did Third Master truly understand his little wife?

The way he treated Qin Ruan, it was as if he saw her as a fragile, helpless young girl.

With Qin Ruan’s promise of self-reflection and flattery, Huo Yunjiao could be said to be very satisfied.

Even though he knew that Qin Ruan’s verbal agreement meant there was a hundred percent chance she would err again, the smile on his face remained unchanged; indulgence and doting shone from the depths of his eyes.

He wrapped an arm around Qin Ruan and brought her into his embrace, looking over at Gu Mingyan and Falcon.

Both men’s expressions were calm, but their eyes still carried a trace of frustration from an uncompleted mission.

Huo Yunjiao’s voice was low and clear, "I’ve already inquired clearly about the incident on my way here.

The Black Feather Organization had an emergency meeting on the Mandrake Network; they forgot to set up security protection for high-ranking members to join the meeting, Ruanruan and the others accidentally entered, and left after just a few minutes.

In these few short minutes, approximately fifty members from around the world logged into the network and entered the meeting room; I guarantee with the Huo Family’s reputation, Ruanruan couldn’t possibly be conspiring with the Black Feather Organization."

Falcon pressed his lips together, not quite sure how to proceed, "Third Master, we need to investigate this further, we can’t come here for nothing."

Huo Yunjiao’s eyes were brewing a storm, speaking calmly, "What do you want to take back?"

Falcon tentatively asked, "Evidence of Lady Third Master’s innocence?"

He certainly wouldn’t dare to say in front of Third Master Huo that they were planning to take Qin Ruan away to complete their mission.

Huo Yunjiao chuckled softly.

His deep eyes warmed slightly as he nodded with restraint, "That’s only proper. To make things easier for you and to protect Ruanruan’s own innocence, I had the intelligence department’s technicians come along."

As he finished speaking, he gestured to the Hidden Guard behind him.

More than a dozen Hidden Guards, all reeking of Evil Qi, stepped back, revealing two men in uniform at the very back.

They were the leaders responsible for monitoring the Black Feather Organization team, accompanied by the young man who had intercepted Ke Yiming entering the Black Feather Organization’s meeting room.

Huo Yunjiao’s eyes were cold as she spoke to the approaching men, "I trust that since you were able to intercept the information accusing my wife of treason, you should be able to help her prove her innocence, right?"

The middle-aged man nodded emphatically despite his reluctance, "Third Master, we will do our utmost."

Huo Yunjiao’s pupils reflected indifference as she spoke in a slightly colder tone, "I hope you won’t disappoint me."

At that moment, Ke Yiming, who was crouched in front of the desk, stood up.

He raised his hand, his voice trembling, "I, I have something to say."

All eyes focused on him.

Ke Yiming forcefully suppressed the urge to hide under the computer desk.

His finger pointed towards a computer beside him and his eyes, filled with unease, stared at the middle-aged man, "Earlier we accidentally entered that Black something organization’s meeting, and although we couldn’t understand their language, I recorded it. All of their communication is on my computer."

The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

He rushed over to Ke Yiming’s computer desk and, with the latter’s willing cooperation, located the Black Feather’s discussion content from the meeting room.

Others might not understand it, but he, who had spent years monitoring them, quickly translated the recorded audio.

The young assistant standing beside him skimmed through the translated Chinese text and exclaimed in shock, "Northern England?!"

Qin Ruan tilted her head, attempting to see the content on the computer screen clearly.

Huo Yunjiao knew what she was worried about and walked over, holding her hand.

The middle-aged man, not noticing the person standing to his left, turned to Gu Mingyan and Falcon on his right and said solemnly, "They are planning to test a new type of weapon in a town in Northern England, and this act will lead to the destruction of an entire city’s living beings!"

Falcon and Gu Mingyan’s expressions darkened, with the former asking coldly, "Is the information reliable?"

The middle-aged man took a deep breath, grinding his teeth, "Judging by their conversation, the location has been set to take place in Northern England."

Gu Mingyan appeared contemplative, "With the conference disrupted, might they change their plans?"

The chances of that happening were significant, and no one could be sure if the Black Feather Organization might make a change.

Huo Yunjiao glanced at the text on the computer screen, then shifted her gaze away and interjected to break the crowd’s contemplative guessing, "Regardless of whether they change the location or not, what we need to do now is to immediately inform the Royal Family of Northern England and have Lu Tianrong contact them personally."

"I’ll go!"

Falcon stepped forward, he needed to return to the Cabinet immediately.

"I’m going too!"

Gu Mingyan also stood up, casting a covert glare at Falcon.

He wouldn’t let on that he knew, but this guy clearly wanted to ’flee from his crimes’.

Third Master Huo came here today to stand up for his little wife, and he would not let them get away with it so easily.

Staying here any longer, who knew what might happen next.

Huo Yunjiao glanced at the two men, still with that indifferent expression. He curved his lips into a smile and spoke, "No need for such trouble, I’ll call my brother personally."

With that, he took out his cellphone from his pocket.

The faces of Gu Mingyan and Falcon both split open.
