Because of Qin Ruan's return, the dinner at the Qin family tonight was very sumptuous.
A table full of delicious dishes, but when Qin Ruan tasted them, they didn't seem quite right.
Her taste buds had already been spoiled by the chefs at the Hou family.
She craved sourness with a hint of sweetness, but not too greasy.
Although the food didn't suit her taste, Qin Ruan didn't show any discomfort at the dinner table. She chatted and laughed with her father, eldest brother, and second brother.
Warm moments are always short-lived. Not long after the family finished their meal, Qin Ruan received a phone call from Lu Han.
As soon as she answered the phone, Lu Han's urgent voice came through, "Madam Huo, something has happened!"
This afternoon, right after Qin Ruan left, Lu Han immediately assigned more people to keep an eye on Li Manning's mother.
They actually discovered something suspicious. Through the surveillance video of Li Manning's mother at home, they found that she was acting strange, occasionally screaming and shouting at the empty space.
Remembering Qin Ruan's instructions, Lu Han ordered his subordinates to stay away from Li's mother.
In the evening, an unexpected incident occurred.
Li's mother suddenly grabbed the lucky bag hanging around her neck in the living room and crazily smashed her head against the wall.
Seeing her forehead bleeding from the impact, it was likely that she would go into shock if she wasn't stopped soon. Lu Han ordered his subordinates to rush in and stop her.
Five or six of his subordinates entered Li's house and never came out again.
The video footage of their surveillance on Li's mother all lost signal, and the door to Li's house couldn't be opened. Even a locksmith couldn't break in; it was very strange.
Qin Ruan's eyes turned cold as she heard this. She spoke in a deep voice, "Send me the address, I'll go there right away."
"Hurry, Madam Hou. I'm afraid my subordinates are in danger inside."
"I understand, I'll be there as soon as possible."
Qin Ruan hung up the phone and met the gazes of her father, eldest brother, and second brother.
She showed a hint of apology on her face. "Dad, eldest brother, second brother, I have something to attend to. I'll come visit you next time."
Qin Jingcen furrowed his brows and asked, "Was it a call from Young Master Lu?"
"Yes," Qin Ruan nodded.
Qin Jingcen's face turned slightly solemn. "Is he asking for your help with another case?"
Qin Ruan nodded again.
Qin Jingcen was angry. "Doesn't he know you're pregnant? Why doesn't Third Master Hou stop you? What if something happens to you?!"
Qin Mei also voiced his displeasure, "Exactly!"
Qin Anguo sat in the center of the living room, about to have a conversation with his daughter, but a phone call interrupted and called Qin Ruan away. His face turned unpleasant as he asked, "What case? Why do they need Ruan Ruan's help? And who is this Young Master Lu?"
With three consecutive questions, the three siblings of the Qin family were left puzzled.
Qin Jingcen and Qin Mei knew about Ruan Ruan's ability to manipulate ghosts.
But their father didn't know about it.
Qin Ruan smiled to ease the situation. "Young Master Lu is the eldest son of the prominent Lu family in the capital, and he is also in charge of the Criminal Investigation Bureau. Recently, there's been some trouble with a case, and he asked me to come and talk to him.
Third Master Huo is aware of this as well. That's why he assigned Hou Chuan and Hou Zhi to accompany me, to take care of me."
She turned to Hou Chuan and Hou Zhi, who were standing in the Qin family hall, and asked, "Isn't that right?"
Hou Chuan immediately nodded. "Yes, Third Master is aware of it."
Hou Zhi's tone was cold. "Third Master instructed us to take care of Madam."
They weren't lying; Third Master indeed knew about the task Madam had to fulfill.
However, Qin Anguo was still worried, and he stared at his daughter with suspicion. "Are you really okay?"
Qin Ruan relaxed her expression and smiled. "I'm fine, Dad. I'll go now and return directly to the Hou family after finishing. Don't worry."
Qin Anguo had nothing more to say and could only advise, "When you reach the Hou family, give me a call to let me know you're safe."
"I understand. I will."
Qin Ruan left the Qin family and headed straight to the address sent by Lu Han.
...
Li Manning's parents lived in the wealthy northern part of the city. Over the years, with the money Li Manning earned, they were able to settle down in the northern part of the city.
When Qin Ruan arrived at Li's villa, she got out of the car and instructed Hou Zhi and Hou Chuan, "You don't need to follow me closely. If any unexpected events occur, don't rush in. You won't be able to help much. Just stay by the side and watch. I don't want to worry about your safety."
"Understood, Madam," Hou Chuan and Hou Zhi responded.
Lu Han, who was standing at the entrance of the villa, spotted Qin Ruan's figure and quickly approached her.
He sounded anxious and worried. "Madam Hou, it's been over an hour, and there's been no movement inside."
"Let's go and take a look."
Qin Ruan followed Lu Han's footsteps and headed to the front of Li's house, which was surrounded by numerous plainclothes officials.
Lu Han dispersed the crowd and made it easier for Qin Ruan to inspect the door. They had exhausted all methods, but it remained mysteriously locked.
Qin Ruan calmly surveyed the door, and even without using her Third Eye, she could sense the malevolent energy emanating from it.
Her delicate and beautiful eyebrows furrowed deeply, and a hint of darkness shone in her eyes.
Within an hour, many things could have happened inside, and she hoped that Li Manning hadn't shed innocent blood, especially the officials who were protecting the people of the capital.
Knowing that it was the work of an evil spirit that prevented the door from
Qin Ruan sternly commanded, "Everyone step back!"
The malevolent energy was so strong that if ordinary people came into contact with it, they would undoubtedly suffer.
Even the slightest exposure could affect their luck, while a more severe encounter could harm their lifespan.
Lu Han immediately waved his hand to his subordinates, who hesitated due to concern for their teammate's well-being, but eventually they dispersed.
Qin Ruan entered the room, filled with intense malevolence and resentment.
The room was pitch black, with no visibility.
There was a faint sound coming from her left side, muffled like someone's mouth was blocked.
Frowning, Qin Ruan looked in that direction, and a faint golden light appeared in her eyes.
She could clearly see everything in the room, including the five men who were tightly bound and had their mouths gagged, positioned to her left.
They were in a sorry state, their faces showing fear, their pupils slightly dilated as if they had experienced a great fright.
These should be Lu Han's subordinates. Fortunately, they seemed to be only excessively frightened and not in immediate danger.
Qin Ruan approached them, her peripheral vision scanning the surrounding space.
"Who are you?"
In the empty and silent room, a sinister female voice sounded, filled with evil and intimidation.
Qin Ruan slightly furrowed her brows in the darkness but didn't pause her steps.
In this eerie and terrifying atmosphere, she responded to the voice in the darkness, "I've come to take away the innocent."
"Are you with them?" The voice in the darkness was clearly filled with anger this time.
Qin Ruan walked up to the five bound men under Lu Han's command.
She bent down and proceeded to untie them one by one, her tone calm. "You could say that. Are you Li Manning?"
The questioning statement was delivered with a tone of certainty.
"It's me." Li Manning emerged from the darkness, his gaze coldly fixed on Qin Ruan's figure.
After untying the five men, Qin Ruan casually said to them, "Director Lu is outside. You can leave now."
They had already been terrified and had no time for further conversation. They quickly fled the room like flying birds.
Just as the five men left the room, the door slammed shut.
The spacious hall of the Li family instantly brightened.
Qin Ruan turned slowly, seeing Li Manning hovering not far away.
She was wearing a white sleep gown, her face delicate. Apart from her slightly pale complexion, she appeared harmless, just like an ordinary person.
It had to be said that Li Manning had excellent physical attributes, which contributed to her status as the top goddess of the entertainment industry.
Even in loose sleepwear, Li Manning couldn't hide her graceful figure. She had the perfect golden ratio.
Her face was oval-shaped, very natural, with a touch of freshness and elegance, unlike some internet celebrities with their artificially created V-shaped faces.
Her cheekbones were just right, neither too prominent nor flat, with a typical apple-shaped structure, the perfect facial feature that Asian women pursued.
Li Manning's eyes were truly captivating. They were bright and lively, with moderately-sized double eyelids and an upward slant at the corners. If she wore eyeliner, it would be enchanting and captivating.
Qin Ruan had seen Li Manning in various makeup styles, and she could effortlessly handle any look with grace and composure. She exuded a queen-like aura.
However, it was unfortunate that she did not have the fate of a queen.
It had to be admitted that the current Li Manning was an absolute beauty.
Even Qin Ruan felt somewhat inferior. Some people were born to thrive in the entertainment industry, such as Li Manning.
Qin Ruan stared at Li Manning's face and suddenly wanted to know something. She parted her thin lips and asked, "When you entered the entertainment industry, did you genuinely like this profession, or were you forced by your family?"
Li Manning, who was prepared to confront Qin Ruan, didn't expect to hear such a question.
A hint of confusion appeared in her dark eyes, and her facial expression showed a slight unease.
It was because, for the first time in many years, someone had asked her such a question.
The malevolence and resentment that had surrounded Li Manning dissipated to some extent, and she narrowed her eyes, staring at Qin Ruan. "You're not here to capture me?"
Qin Ruan shook her head and smiled amiably, "I'm not here to capture you. I'm just here to save someone."
Lu Han's subordinates barged in, their lives hanging in the balance, and Qin Ruan wanted to take a look at them.
This afternoon, she had made a statement that Li Manning wouldn't harm innocent people.
Now it seemed she was right.
Li Manning didn't kill the innocent, and the underworld had given her the green light. What reason did she have to capture Li Manning?
Learning that Qin Ruan wasn't here to capture her, Li Manning didn't let her guard down.
Her soul drifted toward the brightly lit bar in the grand hall and she sat on a high stool.
Although she didn't believe Qin Ruan's words, she was interested in having a chat with her.
All because of the question she had asked earlier.
Did she enter the entertainment industry because she liked it or because she was forced by her parents?
Over the years, she had lived under her parents' exploitation and long forgotten her original intentions for entering the entertainment industry.
For all these years, she had lived in a daze, working every day just to catch a glimpse of Bai Minghui. After his death, her child became her sole reliance.
Living, working, it was all for the sake of her child.
Until her body could no longer hold on and she collapsed, never to wake up again.
