Hou Yunjiao suggested, "That's good. When do you have time to go and visit l father-in-law together?"
Thinking of the lingering souls of Han Xian and Han Kexin in the mortal world, a worried expression appeared in Qin Ruan's eyes.
She answered evasively, "I plan to go back home and stay for a while in a couple of days."
Hou Yunjiao raised an eyebrow, "Why suddenly decide to go back home?"
In the past, there were always signs when Qin Ruan was about to go home, but this time it seemed like a sudden decision.
Qin Ruan casually came up with a reason, "My father is too lonely at home by himself, so I want to accompany him for a few days."
Huo Yunjiao proposed, "Shall I go with you?"
"No need, I'll only stay for two days. The security system at the Qin family's residence is not as strict as the Hou family's," Qin Ruan replied.
Qin Ruan thought about how most evil spirits were afraid of the aura emanating from Hou Yunjiao. If she went to the Qin family with him, Han Xian and Han Kexin would definitely keep their distance.
Hou Yunjiao asked, "When do you plan to go back home?"
Qin Ruan answered, "Let me finish dealing with the matter at hand first."
"Lu Han's case," he clarified.
"Yes."
"Let Hou Zhi accompany you."
"Okay." Qin Ruan nodded, not refusing.
She glanced at Li Manning trembling at the entrance of the dining hall and stood up, saying, "I'm leaving."
"Take care on the way," Hou Yunjiao said.
"Understood."
Qin Ruan walked away.
When she reached Li Manning's side, she suddenly turned back and asked, "Third Young Master, may I ask how Lin Hao became a spy for the Hou family?"
Hou Yunjiao's lips curled up in a faint arc, his deep and affectionate peach blossom eyes half-closed as he smiled without saying a word.
Qin Ruan sighed softly, "Three years ago, Lin Hao was doing quite well in the western city, but suddenly disappeared. I can't figure out how he got involved with the Hou family."
"Why don't you go and ask him yourself, Ruan Ruan," Huo Yunjiao suggested.
Qin Ruan raised an eyebrow, "You can't tell me?"
Hou Yunjiao smiled and shook his head at her.
"Alright."
"Qin Ruan turned and left, this time she really left.
She walked out of the hall, and outside the door were Hou Zhi and Lin Hao, who were already waiting for her in front of the car.
"Madam Shao."
The two of them called out in unison.
Qin Ruan walked up to Lin Hao and glanced at the clothes he was wearing, which were the same as Hou Zhi's.
Her gaze shifted upward, and the scars on his face were clearly visible.
Qin Ruan clicked her tongue lightly. "Brother Hao, it's been three years, and your face hasn't changed much. It's just that the scars on your face affect your handsome image."
Lin Hao self-deprecatingly said, "Madam Shao, don't make fun of me. I'm a rough person. What kind of image do I have?"
Qin Ruan narrowed her eyes and reminisced about the past in the Western City. "Back in the day, Brother Hao, the wolf in the Western City, attracted so many women who went crazy for him. The girls screamed for you, hoping to catch your eye. It would be even better if there could be a fleeting romantic relationship."
"Even if it wasn't for your appearance, the red figures around Jiang Liu would still want to climb on your side because of your strength and the influence you have with Jiang Liu."
Recalling the memories in the Western City, Lin Hao's face showed a nostalgic expression.
"It seems that you really enjoyed your life in the Western City."
Leaving behind these ambiguous words, Qin Ruan bypassed him and got into the car.
Hou Zhi, who was standing aside, frowned and coldly stared at Lin Hao.
This man didn't give her a good feeling. He attracted too much attention from Madam Shao, and that wasn't a good sign.
Everyone should stick to their roles. Once they cross the line, they're not far from courting death.
Hou Zhi coldly commanded Lin Hao, "Get in the car."
With that, she opened the driver's door and got into the car.
Lin Hao resumed his impassive expression, walked around the front of the car, and got into the passenger seat.
The car slowly drove away from the Hou family mansion.
...
After getting into the car, Qin Ruan took out her phone and opened the WeChat group for 'The Emperor of the North'.
Qiao Nanyuan and Qiao Jiu had already returned to the capital. They were members of the Maoshan Sect and could be considered experts in retrieving the lost soul of Li Manning's son, Xiao Bao.
Qin Ruan could summon a messenger from the underworld to investigate the whereabouts of Xiao Bao's lost soul, but she preferred to rely on people from the mortal realm for earthly matters. She didn't want to overly depend on messengers from the underworld, especially since they were currently short-handed.
Qin Ruan mentioned Qiao Nanyuan and Qiao Jiu in the group chat and asked if they were at home.
Mao Shan's Ninth Miss: [Here, here! sister Ruan, when did you arrive?]
Qin Ruan had informed the master-disciple duo last night that she would seek their help, and Qiao Nanyuan and Qiao Jiu had been waiting for her."
Qin Ruan: [Already on the car.]
Mao Mountain Ninth Miss: [Great! Ruanjie, have you eaten? I made some snacks. Would you like to try them?]
Qin Ruan: [I've already eaten.]
Qiao Jiu responded with a disappointed expression.
Qin Ruan chuckled softly and replied, [I can try your snacks. A few small treats won't fill up my stomach much.]
Mao Mountain Ninth Miss: [Sure, wait until you arrive~]
Qin Ruan made an OK gesture and closed her phone.
She looked up and glanced nervously with anticipation at Li Manning beside her.
Li Manning looked eagerly at Qin Ruan and asked, "Can we really find Xiao Bao back?"
Qin Ruan's tone remained calm, "As long as his soul is still in this world, the chances of finding him are over ninety percent."
Li Manning's expression turned grim, "What about the remaining ten percent?"
Qin Ruan spoke with a solemn tone, "If that ten percent happens, leave it to me. As long as the soul is not extinguished, he will be found in the end."
Lin Hao, sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and looked at Qin Ruan with a puzzled gaze, "Who are you talking to?"
Hou Zhi, who was driving, spoke coldly, "Don't forget who you're talking to!"
Lin Hao rolled his eyes and rephrased his question to Qin Ruan, "Madam, who are you talking to?"
Qin Ruan replied calmly, "No one."
And she wasn't wrong in saying so. At this moment, Li Manning no longer counted as a person; she was a resentful spirit that had turned into a fierce puppet shortly after her death.
Lin Hao glanced at Qin Ruan's ears and noticed she wasn't wearing Bluetooth earphones, so it would be plausible if she said she was on a phone call.
However, apart from her, there was no one else in the back seat. It was somewhat eerie to see her talking to herself.
He clearly heard Qin Ruan mention something about the spirit in the human world, and her nonsensical words sounded inexplicable.
Li Manning's conversation with Qin Ruan was interrupted, and a displeased and chilling aura emanated from her.
Her eyes stared angrily at Lin Hao, and suddenly her head detached from her body, flying towards Lin Hao's face.
Feeling a chilling aura rushing towards him, Lin Hao trembled, "Why is it so cold?"
Li Manning's head floated in the car space, blood-red eyes fixedly staring at Lin Hao.
Her face twisted into a sinister expression, and she suddenly opened her bloodthirsty mouth.
"Li Manning!"
Given that the ghost energy posed a significant threat to humans, Qin Ruan intervened to prevent her from harming Lin Hao.
Li Manning's head turned its direction, and her eyes gazed intensely at Qin Ruan.
Under pressure and knowing she was no match for Qin Ruan, she reluctantly returned her head to its original position.
Unaware that he narrowly avoided being attacked by the ghost energy, Lin Hao asked Qin Ruan, "Is Li Manning the female celebrity who died recently?"
Qin Ruan wasn't surprised that he knew Li Manning.
Entertainment industry's number one sister, she is the goddess in the hearts of many men.
Qin Ruan narrowed her eyes and smiled as she asked Lin Hao, ''Do you also like her?''
