Chapter 995: Chapter 995: Sister Ruan Makes a Move, The Abyss Behind Flowers and Luxury Goods

Feeling the resentment emanating from Liao Yu, Qin Ruan touched the bristled Xueqiu in Qin Mei’s arms and spoke softly, "Sister Liao Yu, why don’t you tell me what happened? I need to know the truth to figure out how to help you."

Liao Yu said, "I can, but Qi Ling is currently booking a room, planning to ruin a girl. I hope Miss Qin can stop him."

Qin Ruan frowned and asked, "Which hotel?"

Liao Yu replied, "Imperial Court Hotel."

Qin Ruan’s expression turned serious, and she immediately said, "Let’s set off now."

She opened the door that was pulled closed behind her and asked Qin Mei, "Are you coming with me, or staying at home?"

Without hesitation, Qin Mei said, "I’m going with you. Qi Ling is a beast carrying poison. It could be dangerous if he tries to harm you."

Qin Ruan was amused yet exasperated, "He won’t get the chance to hurt me."

"Even so, I’m coming with you!"

Although Qin Mei was afraid of the puppet and wary of the germs Qi Ling carried, he was even more worried about Qin Ruan’s safety.

Qin Ruan said, "Then let’s go together."

The two of them, along with a cat and a puppet, went downstairs.

Huo Zhi was leaning against the car, talking on the phone. Seeing Qin Ruan emerge from the Qin Family’s gate, he ended the call and walked over.

"Madam—"

Qin Ruan, with a calm gaze, asked him, "Who were you talking to?"

Huo Zhi lowered his head and reported truthfully, "Huo Chuan. He’s coming back to the country."

Qin Ruan’s slightly knitted brows relaxed, "Isn’t he in Fuluo Country?"

Huo Zhi said, "The Cabinet issued a decree today, appointing the third master to represent the Huo Family at the coronation ceremony of the queen in Fuluo Country. Huo Chuan is coming to report on the situation there before accompanying Huo Qiang and the master to Fuluo Country."

Qin Ruan stared intently at Huo Zhi without blinking, "When did this happen?"

Why had she not heard anything about it?

Huo Zhi said, "It was decided on the ninth; the third master will leave the capital on the eighth."

Qin Ruan’s face visibly darkened.

Seeing this, Huo Zhi quickly explained, "The master received the notification from the Cabinet on your way back to the Qin family; it was the elder master who expedited this trip to Fuluo Country."

"I see," Qin Ruan murmured, her eyes slightly downcast, masking the myriad of emotions in her eyes.

She walked past Huo Zhi to the front of the car and said, "To the Imperial Court Hotel."

Qin Mei, holding Xueqiu, followed closely behind. As for Liao Yu, she floated in the void, trailing the siblings.

Upon hearing the destination, Huo Zhi rushed to the front of the car.

Qin Mei, holding Xueqiu, sat in the passenger seat, while Qin Ruan and Liao Yu took the back seats.

Once in the car, Liao Yu informed Qin Ruan of the whole situation.

Qin Ruan, hands supporting her chin, gazed sharply out the window.

Only after hearing Liao Yu’s story did she clearly understand just what kind of beast her husband truly was.

Liao Yu was the secretary to Qin Jingcen, the heir of the Qin Group. Combining various sources, her annual income was up to a million, and her husband was an executive at a venture capital firm, holding significant shares in the company, with an annual salary near ten million.

This couple’s privileged life exceeded that of the top one percent of the domestic population, a fortune many could not earn in a lifetime.

Liao Yu was getting older, and over the years their assets had steadily increased. She had been planning to have a child with Qi Ling.

At that time, a girl came to her with a medical report, bluntly telling Liao Yu that she was Qi Ling’s mistress outside and had even contracted a virus beginning with ’A’.

In that moment, Liao Yu felt the girl who came to her was incredibly hysterical and unreasonable.

She and Qi Ling were the couple everyone had admired since their school days; they married immediately after graduation, and since they were young and ambitious, they had decided not to rush into having children.

Over the years, both of their careers had flourished, and although they spent more time apart than together, their relationship had remained strong.

That was until the girl who turned up at her doorstep informed Liao Yu that she was a second-year postgraduate student from a certain academy and had been in a secret relationship with Qi Ling for a year, unaware of his marital status.

Recently, she had applied for an overseas exchange opportunity, and during the medical check-up, she discovered she had contracted the virus starting with ’A’.

This girl had only ever had Qi Ling as a boyfriend; it couldn’t have been anyone else.

She was smart, began to suspect Qi Ling, and started to secretly track and investigate him.

She found out about Liao Yu’s existence and also discovered that Qi Ling was maintaining relationships with several other girls, attending a specific internal gathering every week.

It turned out that Qi Ling was just one member of the A virus group. Their small group consisted of men and women, all smartly dressed and attractive, belonging to the elite class.

The girl calmly approached Liao Yu, exposing Qi Ling’s true nature.

Liao Yu didn’t believe her, and the girl succinctly suggested, "If you don’t believe it, you can go to the hospital and get tested. I got infected within a year with him, and you’ve been with him for over a decade, you definitely can’t escape it."

Liao Yu still didn’t believe her; she guessed it was a scheme by a cunning woman trying to climb the social ladder by exploiting her husband’s affair.

However, upon receiving the medical report, Liao Yu felt as though the sky had fallen.

Hearing this, Qin Ruan grew very concerned and took out her phone to call Qin Jingcen.

"Ruanruan?" The call connected quickly, and Qin Jingcen sounded slightly breathless.

Without overthinking, Qin Ruan asked earnestly, "Big brother, did you get your medical check-up done last year?"

Qin Jingcen breathed steadily, his head filled with mist as he replied, "Done."

Qin Ruan asked again, "Everything was normal?"

She knew that the Qin Family’s annual medical check-ups covered a lot, including the diagnostic tests for illnesses Liao Yu had been diagnosed with.

"There are no issues with my health." Qin Jingcen, not entirely reassured, asked, "Is something wrong?"

Qin Ruan turned her head to look at Liao Yu, whose eyes were rolling out bloody tears, her face filled with regret and resentment.

Her gaze shifted down to the luxurious leather of the car seats, which were corroded into holes by the bloody tears.

Qin Ruan sighed and explained to Qin Jingcen what had happened to Liao Yu.

"Damn! Qin Jingcen, you beast, are you sick, daring to touch me! I’ll kill you!"

Before Qin Jingcen could respond, Hu Yixian’s angry and tragic voice came through the speakerphone into Qin Ruan’s ears.

His voice was so loud that Hu Zhi and Qin Mei, sitting in the front, could hear everything clearly.

Suddenly, the sound of scuffling and fighting came through the phone, followed by Qin Jingcen’s dangerously deep warning.

"Yiyan, you better behave yourself, my body is perfectly fine, and I merely kissed you, stop looking for trouble!"

Hu Yixian roared back fiercely, "Just a kiss? You also touched me! What more do you want after all this?"

Qin Jingcen responded with a nonchalant laugh, "What do you think?"

It was unclear what he did next, but Hu Yixian cried out in distress, "No way! I refuse!"

Qin Jingcen spoke in a low, coaxing tone, "It’s too late for regrets now. Whether it’s bearing little foxes or a child that looks like you, it’s all the same—you’re already mine."

"You... You tyrant!"

Hu Yixian’s voice was filled with terror.

Qin Jingcen laughed with ill intentions, "You’re no less foxy than I am; we are a match made in heaven!"

The more Qin Ruan listened, the more inappropriate the conversation seemed, and she awkwardly hung up the phone.

Qin Mei sat in the passenger seat, his eyes eagerly fixed on Qin Ruan.

He chuckled, "I never thought big brother would play so wild."

Qin Ruan gave him a look and breathed out softly, then asked Liao Yu, floating beside her, "How were you killed by Qi Ling? And what about that girl who died?"

Through gritted teeth, Liao Yu said, "Qi Ling might have known I was investigating him. On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, he brought some people home and pushed me down from upstairs. The girl deceived by Qi Ling was injected with drugs at home; I don’t know what happened after that.

"I regained consciousness a few days ago and saw that girl lingering at my doorstep when I returned home. Later, I saw with my own eyes her being taken away by the Underworld Envoy. Fearing I’d be taken too, I fled. I can’t rest until I see Qi Ling dead with my own eyes!"

Qin Mei angrily said, "Qi Ling is nothing but a beast!"

Although Qin Ruan’s eyes also showed some anger, her tone remained calm, "Does Sister Liao plan to take revenge herself, or go through the order of the human realm?"

Liao Yu’s eyes were blurred with bloody tears, her voice eerily asking, "What’s the difference?"

Qin Ruan’s voice was gentle, slowly explaining, "If you kill him yourself, you’ll go to the Netherworld and bear the consequences, affecting your reincarnation in the next life. If we let the law handle him, I assure you he will lose everything he has today, and for the rest of his life, he’ll be ostracized by everyone."

She made sure to clarify the pros and cons to prevent the other from falling into a dead end and making regrettable decisions.

The black evil aura around Liao Yu intensified slightly, and she said coldly with a hateful sneer, "I want to see him die with my own eyes, and even if I go to Hell later, I won’t let him off the hook!"

Seeing her determined attitude, Qin Ruan nodded and didn’t say anything further.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Imperial Court Hotel.

Today was an unlucky day to come; the person holding the hotel was Su Jingshu, and her subordinate Bei Jinzhou happened to be there, too.

Upon seeing Qin Ruan and Qin Mei from a distance, Bei Jinzhou first furrowed his brows slightly, then quickly put on a welcoming smile.

"Madam Huo, Second Young Master Qin."

Qin Ruan, who knew him, greeted him politely, "Mr. Bei."

Bei Jinzhou asked with a smile, "What brings you two here today?"

"Looking for someone."

As soon as Qin Ruan said this, Bei Jinzhou, remembering the conflict from last year, reluctantly asked, "Looking for whom?"

"A guest named Qi Ling."

Bei Jinzhou cautiously asked, "This Mr. Qi, is he a relative of some aristocratic family?"

There was no Qi surname among the four major aristocratic families and six great families. First, he needed to rule that out, and then he would worry if the person was a relative of any other aristocratic family.

Qin Ruan’s brows slightly raised, aware of his concerns, and she said bluntly, "He’s not. He’s no good man, currently causing trouble for an innocent girl in the hotel. Mr. Bei, it’s best you find him soon; otherwise, if things escalate, it could also affect the reputation of the Imperial Court Hotel."

Bei Jinzhou’s expression changed slightly, and he led them towards the reception, "Please follow me."

Upstairs.

Inside a certain suite, Qi Ling, clad in a bathrobe, held a glass of red wine in his hand and stood before a large floor-to-ceiling window.

With a self-indulgent, leisurely expression on his face, he felt an unspeakable excitement and thrill about what was about to unfold.

Qi Ling took a sip of red wine, turned around, and looked at the bed covered in rose petals, as well as the romantic candlelight set up in the room and the luxurious branded gift boxes placed beside the bed.

Having money means doing whatever one desires. By just casually purchasing a handbag, valuable jewelry, or luxury brand perfume, and accompanying them with a romantic candlelit dinner, young and beautiful girls flocked to him in droves.

Unfortunately, these boys and girls only saw the material benefits, unaware of the abyss that lies behind the flowers and luxury items.
