Chapter 396: Qin Ruan Takes Action, The Chilling Morgue


Nicholas gritted his teeth, his eyes angrily glaring at Hou Yirong, his gaze shifting to the disgruntled Donald beside him, coldly saying, "Aren't you just being chewed by a dog!"


Donald ignored their finger-pointing and turned his attention to Qin Ruan. He huqrriedly walked towards her.


In an urgent tone, he said, "Lady Huo, I hope you can lift the curse on the Ron Family as soon as possible. I need to return home immediately!"


The Lazarus Family had officially declared war against the Ron Family, and he had to go back.


Qin Ruan sympathetically looked at Nicholas, her delicate face expressing apology.


She could easily imagine the torment Nicholas had endured these past few days, considering the bite marks covering his body. Donald really treated him like a moving blood bag.


Qin Ruan nodded at Donald, "I apologize for the unexpected incident earlier."


She approached him and slowly reached out her hand, intending to touch his brow, but their height difference was too great.


Qin Ruan's brows furrowed slightly in helplessness, and she asked, "Do you mind crouching down?"


Without hesitation, Donald immediately knelt on one knee, his gaze cold.


Knowing his urgency, Qin Ruan reached out her hand and gently tapped his brow with her fingertip.


Everything went smoothly afterward, even more so than dispelling the curse on Queen Marina. Qin Ruan didn't consume much of her spiritual energy.


After leaving an imprint on Donald's heart, Qin Ruan withdrew her hand.


Donald, still kneeling on the ground, looked up in surprise and asked, "Is it over?"


Qin Ruan chuckled lightly, her voice calm, "Yes, you can leave now."


Donald questioned, "Why did you keep postponing it before?"


If he had known it would end this quickly, he wouldn't have wasted so much time.


Even if it meant offending the Hou Family, he would have rushed to Qin Ruan and made her take action.


Hou Yunjiao, with his arm around Qin Ruan's shoulder, spoke indifferently, "Ruan Ruan wasn't feeling well the past few days. It was my decision not to let you see her."

Donald stood up, unable to say anything about it.


It was he who sought help, but the decision was not in his hands.


His tone was cold, "Then I won't bother you, I'll return to the country immediately."


Hou Yunjiao carried the same coldness, "Go slowly, no need for a farewell."


Donald nodded slightly and left with Nicholas, who was complaining to Hou Yirong.


Hou Yunjiao, Qin Ruan, and Hou Yirong personally saw them off.


Before boarding the plane, Nicholas had a despondent expression on his face.


...


Criminal Investigation Bureau.


Lu Han sat in his office, going through the complete information about the Li Manning case. He waited and waited, but Qin Ruan didn't show up.


As his patience was gradually running out, he picked up his phone from the desk and left the office.


A luxurious and understated car drove through the majestic gate of the bureau.


Lu Han stood on the steps, about to call Qin Ruan, when he saw a car with the unique symbol of the Hou family approaching.


The vehicle bypassed the fountain in the courtyard and slowly stopped in the open space below the steps where Lu Han stood.


The door of the passenger seat opened, and Hou Chuan got out first.


He quickly walked to the back and opened the car door. Qin Ruan, wearing flat-bottomed shoes and casual clothes, stepped out of the car.


She looked up at Lu Han standing on the steps and took the initiative to greet him, "Director Lu, long time no see."


Lu Han pressed his temples, his face relaxed a bit. He was really afraid that Qin Ruan would change her mind at the last minute and not come.


"Mrs. Hou, long time no see."


Qin Ruan stepped up the stairs, walking toward Lu Han. "The person who died today, was it someone from Li Manning's studio?"


She had heard from Lu Han on the phone that there had been another homicide case today, but she didn't know the specific details.


Lu Han shook his head. "It wasn't someone from Li Manning's studio. It was the nanny who took care of her daily life. She was also our key protected target."


Qin Ruan approached Lu Han, a hint of confusion in her eyes. "Since she was Li Manning's nanny, what did you find out from her?"


As the personal nanny of Li Manning, she must have had a clear understanding of her.


Lu Han sighed lightly. "The nanny didn't know much about Li Manning. Li Manning seems to be quite suspicious. None of her nannies stayed with her for more than three months."


Qin Ruan became even more puzzled. "If they weren't close, why did the nanny die?"

The vengeful spirit of Li Manning is clearly seeking revenge.


The nanny's death must be related to something she did.


Lu Han: "This is also something we don't understand. Maybe the nanny didn't tell the truth. There hasn't been any progress in the case so far."


Qin Ruan asked, "Where is the body?"


Lu Han's expression slightly changed, as if recalling something unpleasant, he said in a deep voice, "In the morgue."


Qin Ruan said, "Take me there to have a look."


Huo Chuan stepped forward and handed an unopened mask to Qin Ruan, saying, "Madam, the atmosphere in that place is not good. It's better for you to wear a mask for safety."


Qin Ruan didn't refuse and took the mask, opening it and putting it on.


Hou Zhi, who had just arrived after parking the car, coincidentally caught up with Qin Ruan on her way to the morgue.


As Lu Han led the way ahead, he mentioned to Qin Ruan that strange incidents had been occurring frequently in the office in the past few days.


"These days, the guards keep saying that they can see ghost-like shadows floating around in front of them, making many people suspicious and fearful."


Qin Ruan looked at him and asked, "Has anything happened?"


Lu Han looked bitter and said, "Not really. If something did happen, it would scare the girls in the office to tears."


Qin Ruan shrugged it off and said, "Perhaps it's the vengeful spirit intentionally trying to frighten people."


A chill ran down Lu Han's spine at her words, and the path he was leading became increasingly remote. A slight coolness filled the air.


He stopped in front of a room door and said to Qin Ruan, "We've arrived."


Qin Ruan lifted her chin, indicating for him to open the door.


Lu Han pressed the red button on the wall, and through the frosted glass on the door, Qin Ruan saw a figure inside.


Soon, someone opened the door from the inside.


Standing inside was a middle-aged man with a pale face.


Upon seeing Lu Han, the man trembled in his tone and said, "Director Lu."


Lu Han frowned and spoke gently, "We came to see the deceased. Are you alright?"


The middle-aged man wiped his face and was on the verge of tears as he recalled the black shadows he had seen. "Director Lu, I can't bear it anymore. I need to take a sick leave today."


Lu Han understood the man's situation and told him to continue guarding while granting him a few days off. The man's mental state was on the verge of collapse.


He nodded, "Alright, take a few days off and rest at home."

"Thank you, Director Lu."


The middle-aged man's tense body relaxed, his back bent, clearly quite scared.


Lu Han entered first, followed closely by Qin Ruan.


Hou Chuan glanced at Hou Zhi, then followed them inside.


The morgue had ample air conditioning, and even Qin Ruan could feel the cold air permeating through her clothes.


Lu Han walked up to a door and pushed it open, revealing the scene inside.


Qin Ruan stood beside him, looking at over ten bodies covered with white sheets inside the room.


These images clearly reflected in Qin Ruan's eyes, causing her heart to sink.


While others couldn't see it, she could clearly see more than ten wandering spirits floating inside, each with a pale complexion and twisted expression, emanating strong resentment all around them.


As Lu Han and Qin Ruan and the others came into view, the spirits glared at them with gloomy faces, displaying a provocative demeanor.
