Chapter 459: Was Young Master Qin Kidnapped by a Cat?


After several months of getting along, Qin Ruan's abilities and her mystery, as well as the spark she brought to the master, slowly began to convince the members of the Secret Guard Department.


This was all thanks to the trio of Hou Chuan, Hou Zhi, and Hou Qiang.


They were the leaders of the Hou family's secret guards, and their attitude towards Qin Ruan served as a barometer for the subordinates.


A hint of mockery appeared on Hou Chuan's rough face, directed not only at Bei Jinzhou but also at his own self from a few months ago.


"I remember now!"


Shen Junjie suddenly shouted loudly.


His voice was loud and excited, attracting the attention of many people.


Shen Junjie, under the suppression of the Hou family's secret guards, looked at Qin Ruan in a panic.


He swallowed his saliva and nervously said, "That day, Qin Mei came to the bar holding a cat, a white cat. I don't know when this kid became so kind-hearted and interested in cats."


Qin Ruan frowned slightly upon hearing this. Her second brother came to the bar holding a cat?


She couldn't imagine that scene.


Shan Zi, who was standing by the side, rubbed his bald head and interjected, "There is indeed such a thing."


Qin Ruan shifted her gaze to him.


Shan Zi seemed like he wanted to laugh, but he held it in due to the leader's effort not to laugh. His fierce expression twisted, making him even more intimidating.


Unaware of it himself, he slowly spoke under everyone's gaze, "That day, there was indeed a kid who came to the bar holding a cat. I've been in this business for many years, and it was the first time I heard of someone coming to have fun while holding a cat."


Qin Ruan didn't know that her second brother liked cats and dogs.


Whether in this life or the previous one, she had never seen her second brother show any love for small animals.


Qin Ruan's mood was complicated, and she asked Shan Zi, "Did you also see the cat?"


Shan Zi shook his head, "I wasn't there at the time, and I didn't see the cat. It was what the people below said. When I came out, they were already fighting, and I didn't pay attention to the cat."


Shen Junjie vigorously nodded, "Actually, I wasn't really interested in the girl Qin Mei brought that day. I mainly disliked him for showing so much love for a cat. It just gave me a reason to pick a fight."


Qin Ruan's eyes turned icy, "And then?"


Shen Junjie shrank his body, "Then we started fighting. After the bar's security separated us, we felt frustrated and planned to settle the score with Qin Mei after leaving the bar. Who knew he would run away halfway."


Qin Ruan's eyebrows twitched, "How do you know he ran away?"


"We had someone see him leaving the bar while holding the cat."


Qin Ruan turned around and looked at Bei Jinzhou with a cold gaze, "I want to see the video of my second brother leaving the bar."


"Okay."


Bei Jinzhou instructed his subordinates, and they quickly found the video segment of Qin Mei leaving the bar.


Qin Ruan walked up to the surveillance video and saw her second brother holding a cat, leaving amidst the crowd.


In his arms was a white kitten.


The cat nestled in Qin Mei's arms, looking very well-behaved.


The two walked out of the Night Aristocrat Club,


 and the white cat leaped up and ran towards the right direction on the ground.


That was the direction of the alley where the Night Aristocrat Club's garbage piled up.


In the video, Qin Mei hesitated for a moment, then went over to look for the white cat.


While searching for the cat, he conveniently took care of his own needs, and as a result, he disappeared out of thin air.


Qin Ruan stared at the screen where her second brother disappeared once again, her lips tightly pressed.


Huo Chuan walked up and asked softly, "Madam, should we go to the alley and see if there are any clues?"


"Let's go take a look."


Qin Ruan lifted her foot and walked towards the outside of the Night Aristocrat Club.

The sky darkened, and the alley was in a mess, filled with empty bottles and unidentified liquid spilled on the ground.


The Night Aristocrat Club, with its luxurious decoration and grandeur, attracted numerous distinguished guests every day.


They would never imagine that right next door, there was such a dirty and chaotic alley.


The filth and disorder here reminded Qin Ruan of the streets of the Xicheng district where she had lived for eighteen years.


Qin Ruan stepped on the filth covering the ground, and her nose was filled with the scent of various mixed drinks, mixed with a pungent smell produced by long-term fermentation.


"Madam, watch your step."


Hou Chuan Qin Ruan beside her.


Qin Ruan lowered her gaze, about to step into a yellowish puddle, unsure whether it was alcohol or traces left behind by someone urinating.


Frowning, Qin Ruan crossed over the puddle and stepped on the damp ground.


The familiar trash bin she had seen in the surveillance footage quickly came into view for Qin Ruan.


She stopped in her tracks, her chilly and piercing eyes scanning the surrounding environment.


In addition to the pungent smell emanating from the piles of garbage, there was also a faint gloomy atmosphere.


It was the trace left behind by something sinister.


A cold glint flashed in Qin Ruan's eyes, her delicate complexion turning sinister, emanating a dangerous sense of oppression.


Qin Jingcen approached her and asked in a low voice, "Ruan Ruan, is it related to those things?"


The disappearance of their second brother was too bizarre, and he couldn't help but connect it to supernatural events.


"Most likely," Qin Ruan replied in a cold voice.


She couldn't be a hundred percent sure at the moment, but based on the scene, her second brother's disappearance was most likely related to the sinister presence.


Bei Jinzhou, who had come with his subordinates, covered his nose and mouth with a clean handkerchief.


He furrowed his brow, surveying the surroundings, and his expression of disgust was clearly visible in his eyes.


Bei Jinzhou's gaze fell upon Qin Ruan, standing in front of him, with a slender figure.


He proposed, "Lady Hou, it's certain that Qin Second Young Master's disappearance has nothing to do with our Night Aristocrat Club. This matter is quite strange. Should I call the police for you?"


Qin Ruan could sense the gloating tone in his words, and without turning her head, she replied, "No need!"


With her back facing Bei Jinzhou and the others, Qin Ruan quickly formed hand seals with both hands, and a golden light shot out from her hands, rapidly spreading around the garbage bin where Qin Mei had disappeared last night.


Qin Ruan closed her eyes, trying to capture the remnants of the sinister presence in the air, hoping to find some clues.


"Meow—"


The sound of a cat's meow rang in her ears, and Qin Ruan's eyebrows twitched.


She moved her ears, tilting her head to listen carefully.


"Meow, meow—"


The cat's meowing sounded in Qin Ruan's ears again, incredibly clear.


In her mind, she even saw the image of her second brother holding that white cat.


It was a completely white cat without any markings, as pure as snow.


It had a pair of emerald-green eyes with vertical pupils that were as cold as a snake's, giving people an eerie feeling.


Qin Ruan's gaze met the dual pupils of the white cat in her mind.


"Meow!!"


A white cat suddenly let out a mournful cry, and its figure instantly turned into nothingness.


Qin Ruan, standing in the alley, quickly opened her beautiful eyes.


Her gaze turned icy, and her expression became sinister: "Found it!"


In her deep and pleasant voice, a murderous intent could be sensed.


...


Inside a certain ordinary residential building, a piercing cat's cry rang out.


"Meow!!"


"Meow meow meow!!!"


On the sixth floor.


A girl dressed in pink pajamas, upon hearing the pitiful cries of the cat in her home, thought something had happened and quickly walked out of her bedroom.


"Snowball, what's wrong with you?"


In the not-so-spacious living room, there was a pure white cat.


Its fur was bristling all over, and its tail was held straight, while those emerald green eyes gazed towards the window in the living room.


This bristling yet fearful appearance was as if it had seen its arch-nemesis.
