Chapter 454: Qin Ruan's Dependency on Third Young Master with Reservations


Qin Anguo said to Qin Ruan, "Ruan Ruan, contact your elder brother. He's still at the Night Club."


"Alright, I got it."


Qin Ruan hung up the phone, turned around, and hurriedly left the bedroom, heading straight for home study.


Lin Hao followed closely behind, afraid that she might accidentally fall, staying just steps behind her.


It turned out that he was quite foresighted.


Just as they passed by the display cabinet in the hallway, where vases were placed, Qin Ruan's footing became unstable, and her body leaned forward.


In the face of danger, she immediately protected her stomach, swiftly activating her psychic power to concentrate it on the position of her abdomen to protect the child.


When Qin Ruan's body tilted at a ninety-degree angle, the collar of her dress was grabbed from behind without touching her body in the slightest.


Lin Hao exerted force on his hand, stabilizing Qin Ruan's body, and silently let go, taking two steps back.


He looked at Qin Ruan, who was still in a state of shock, and spoke with a deep and serious tone, "I told you to be careful, don't you even look at the path beneath your feet?"


Qin Ruan couldn't argue. She lowered her gaze and glanced at the culprit that tripped her.


With just one glance, her face changed drastically.


Even Lin Hao, upon seeing it, had an unusually grave expression.


"Madam, are you alright?"


Hou Chuan's anxious voice came from the other side.


Qin Ruan silently withdrew her gaze from the obstacle at her feet and looked up at Hou Chuan, not understanding what had happened.


Suddenly, her ankle was grabbed by someone.


With a sticky touch, she immediately tensed up, instinctively assuming a defensive posture.


"Please...please, save me..."


Qin Ruan lowered her head once again, her expression emotionless as she looked at the man lying on the ground, covered in blood and gasping for air.


With one hand, he held onto her ankle, and those blood-soaked red eyes revealed a desperate desire for life.


Full of pleading, he appeared incredibly pitiful.


Hou Chuan approached and forcefully stepped on the man's arm that was holding onto Qin Ruan's ankle.


Only the crisp sound of bones breaking could be heard.


"Ah! Ah! Ah!"


Following that was the man's agonizing scream.


The hand gripping Qin Ruan's ankle loosened due to the pain, and she took two steps back, her gaze coldly fixed on the blood at her ankle.


A hint of irritation and disgust flickered in her eyes.


A voice from outside alarmed Third Young Master in the study, "Hou Chuan, what are you doing outside?"


An impatient and cold voice resounded from inside the study.


Hou Chuan lifted his foot from the man's arm and faced the office, respectfully reporting, "Third Young Master, Madam has arrived."


The office door revealed a slight crack, and his voice clearly reached the study.


Steady footsteps echoed from inside the room.


Soon, someone opened the study door from the inside.


Hou Yunjiao opened the study door, his cold and deep gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Qin Ruan, his eyes becoming gentle.


He walked out of the study with graceful and elegant steps, coming to Qin Ruan's side.


"Why aren't you resting in the room?"


Qin Ruan shook her head, still tightly holding her phone.


She let out a sigh of relief and informed the man in front of her about the dangerous situation Qin Anguo had mentioned on the phone.

Huo Yunjiao nodded with composure and pointed to Hou Chuan, saying to Qin Ruan, ''Take him to the Night Club, and those people will obediently let you check the surveillance.''


Qin Ruan's eyes revealed gratitude. "Thank you, Third Young Master."


Huo Yunjiao patted her head and curved his lips. "Why are you still being polite? Go early and return early, don't linger outside. It's been restless lately."


Qin Ruan obediently nodded. "Understood."


"Hou Chuan, accompany Madam on a trip and bring more people with you."


"Yes, Master."


Hou Chuan quickly went downstairs to gather people and prepare vehicles for the journey.


Hou Yunjiao, Qin Ruan, and Lin Hao stood in the corridor.


There was also a man on the floor, gasping for breath and emitting painful sobbing sounds from his mouth.


The man who had previously howled in agony with an open throat instantly closed his mouth as soon as Third Young Master walked out of the study.


He whimpered softly, afraid to make too much noise, fearing to disturb the devil standing beside him.


The world believed that Hou Yunjiao, the eldest grandson of the Hou family, was modest, steady, gentle, and a charming noble young man.


But few people knew that his ruthless methods were no less than those of Hou Yirong.


Today, he had already experienced the feeling of being unable to seek death for survival.


He regretted, regretted betraying the Hou family, and regretted not escaping earlier before falling into the hands of this devil.


Hou Yunjiao held Qin Ruan's hand and walked towards the study.


The man lying on the ground with blood-red eyes watched their figures and couldn't help but beg for mercy.


"Third Young Master, I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong, please spare me."


Hou Yunjiao didn't stop his steps and continued walking, but Qin Ruan turned her head.


Her beautiful eyes lowered, expressionless, as she looked at the man lying in a wretched state outside the study.


Qin Ruan proactively asked the people around her, "Third Master, what mistake did this man make?"


Hou Yunjiao's thin lips twitched. "Betrayal."


Qin Ruan guessed, "Is it related to Brother Rong and Hou Zhi leaving the capital?"


"Yes."


A cold killing intent appeared on Qin Ruan's delicate face. "Why didn't you kill him?"


Hou Yunjiao's voice sounded indifferent. "That would be too easy for him."


"How does Third Young Master plan to deal with him?"


"This matter is handed over to Hou Chuan; he knows what to do."


Hou Yunjiao pulled Qin Ruan's hand and continued walking into the room.


The man lying on the ground listened to their conversation, and his bloodied face turned ferocious.


He roared in anger towards Hou Yunjiao and Qin Ruan's backs, tearing at his heart and lungs, "Hou Yunjiao! You are the executioner! Countless people have died by your hands. Aren't you afraid they will seek revenge on you in the middle of the night?! Your heart is black, and the Hou family will be ruined by your hands sooner or later, even without my betrayal!!!"


His words were met with a closed door.


Lin Hao, standing outside the study, withdrew his hand after closing the door.


He casually put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the wall with a cold and disdainful expression on his resolute face.

In his opinion, this person is already on the brink of death but still dares to curse the Hou family. If the loyal and unwavering secret guards of the Huo family find out, they won't know how to deal with him.


It's better to save your energy or find a way to end it yourself.


In the study room.


Hou Yunjiao held Qin Ruan's hand and walked to the table, pulling open a drawer.


He took out a silver lipstick from inside.


Hou Yunqiao's clearly defined knuckles played with the lipstick tube, giving Qin Ruan an indescribable sense of discord.


Under Qin Ruan's gaze, the other person took out a pocket-sized gun from the drawer.


Huo Yunqiao placed the gun and lipstick in Qin Ruan's hand. "Put it in your bag, just in case."


He pointed at the lipstick in Qin Ruan's hand. "It's called the Kiss of Death, a soundless gun about 5 centimeters long. It's designed specifically for women, and it looks like a lipstick on the outside.


If there's a target that poses a threat to you, take out this gun, and it will be difficult for the other party to notice. It's more suitable for close-range use, but it can only be fired once."


After introducing the Kiss of Death, Hou Yunjiao slender fingertips pointed to another weapon.


"As for this pocket-sized gun, it should be very handy for you. I don't think I need to teach you."


Qin Ruan held the two lightweight weapons and a solemn expression appeared on her face.


She had a worried look in her eyes. "ThirdYoungMaster, has something happened?"


Hou Yunjiao chuckled softly and ruffled Qin Ruan's hair. "Don't think too much. I prepared these for you earlier and happened to give them to you now."


Qin Ruan still didn't fully believe it. "Are you sure nothing is wrong?"


Hou Yunjiao relaxed and leaned against the desk, his gentle gaze fixed on Qin Ruan, his tone somewhat hesitant. "Ruan Ruan, you seem to be quite sensitive today."


Qin Ruan also noticed that her emotions were off today, as if she was prone to overthinking about everything.


She didn't know if it was a reaction to her pregnancy or if she had truly become more sensitive.


Qin Ruan lowered her head and looked at the weapons in her hands, unwilling to speak.


Hou Yunjiao touched her head and sighed. "If you have something to say, don't hide it from me. Say whatever you want to say, ask whatever you want to ask."


Upon hearing these words, Qin Ruan felt a sense of relief.


Various contradictions seemed to have started since this morning.


After sensing that Hou Yunjiao was in a bad mood, she held back several times from asking the questions on her mind.


Even though she found a sense of security from him, Qin Ruan still had her boundaries.
