Chapter 576: Do You Take Me for a Good Person?
At the bottom of the residential area.
Lin Hao's body had already recovered quite a bit, and his complexion had become healthier.
Sitting in the driver's seat, he turned to look at Qin Ruan in the back seat.
"Where should we go now?"
Qin Ruan's voice sounded a bit weary, "What time is it?"
Lin Hao glanced at the time, "It's half-past nine."
"Let's go home."
Qin Ruan was afraid that if she didn't return soon, it would disturb Third Young Master, who was busy with his affairs.
Following the orders, Lin Hao started the car and left the residential area.
...
Hou family
Inside the small building where Huo Yirong lived.
In the study on the second floor.
Hou Yirong stood in front of a spacious balcony with his phone to his ear.
His deep eyes were filled with coldness, and his handsome face was covered with a layer of frost.
Looking at the dim yellow street lights below, he said heavily into the phone, "Third brother, Nangong Yunlong is dead."
"How did he die?"
The weak voice of Hou Yunjiao came through the phone's speaker and into Hou Yirong's ears.
Under the indoor lighting, his pale fingertips, which had an abnormal color, touched the glass of the French window in front of him.
His finger slid gently downward.
The movement was slow and seemed indifferent.
Hou Yirong's voice was cold, "He committed suicide."
On the other end, Hou Yunjiao fell silent for a moment and then said coldly, "Given Nangong Yunlong's personality, he wouldn't do such a thing."
Nangong Yunlong had great ambitions, and even if he faced a desperate situation, with the remaining forces and the years of plotting, he would never commit suicide.
Hou Yirong's eyes narrowed, and his expression turned even colder, "Based on the scene, no traces of murder were found."
Hou Yunjiao asked, "Did Lingxu go to investigate?"
"He did, but he didn't find any signs of unnatural beings at the scene."
There was a suppressed cough on the other end, transmitted through the phone's speaker into Huo Yirong's ears.
He asked with concern, "Third brother, is your health better now?"
"It's much better these days." Hou Yunjiao's voice was composed, and he asked, "Brother, how do you see Nangong Yunlong's death?"
Hou Yirong let out a sigh and spoke with a sneer, "I also don't believe Nangong Yunlong committed suicide. Lingxu couldn't find anything suspicious. I want to ask younger sister and brother to take a look."
Hou Yunjiao replied with certainty, "Ruan Ruan isn't at home." His tone was very assured.
Hou Yirong raised an eyebrow, "How do you know?"
Hou Yunjiao dodged the question, "If you want Ruan Ruan to go to the scene, you can talk to her. Her belly is almost five months pregnant now, so be gentle with her."
Hou Yirong turned around, taking in the scene in the study.
It turned out that he was not alone in the room.
Surrounding him were the imposing and menacing Hou family guards.
In the center of the study, a delicate woman knelt on the floor.
She lowered her head, making it difficult to see her true face.
Hou Yirong's voice was hoarse as he said to Lord Yun Jiao on the phone, "I know, that's why I'm informing you first."
It wasn't clear what Hou Yunjiao said, but Hou Yirong responded.
Then he continued, "Third brother, something has happened to Nangong Chang too. He won't live for many more days."
Lord San asked something on the other end, and Huo Yirong replied, "After learning of his father's death, Nangong Chang suffered a great shock and developed locked-in syndrome."
After a moment of silence, Hou Yirong continued, "This condition is quite troublesome. The doctor said it was caused by acute cerebral hemorrhage, and the treatment is difficult. The mortality rate is also high. It belongs to a clinically high-risk syndrome."
"Right now, Nangong Chang is conscious, he can understand what others are saying, and he can answer questions by moving his eyes or eyelids."
"He can feel pain and hear sounds normally. In short, he's like a living dead; now he can be said to be worse off than dead."
With each sentence about Nangong Chang, the woman kneeling on the ground became more and more agitated.
As Hou Yirong finished speaking, he switched the phone to speaker mode.
"Whether Nangong Yunlong or Nangong Chang lives or dies, it doesn't have much impact on us. Their current situation will undoubtedly affect the outside world's criticism of the Hou family. Find a way to keep Nangong Chang alive a few more days and investigate Nangong Yunlong's cause of death."
Hou Yunjiao's voice, low and magnetic, resonated clearly in the study.
He spoke in a detached tone, but his words were as sharp as ice.
Upon hearing Hou Yunjiao's merciless words, the woman on the ground trembled slightly.
Hou Yirong noticed her subtle change.
His elegant face showed a mocking smile, but his voice still carried a gentle tone he used when speaking to relatives, "Third brother, it seems you understand this pair of wild mandarin ducks very well."
Hou Yunjiao's voice remained calm, "Don't make things difficult for her."
Hou Yirong patted the stunned face of Su Jingshu, showing no mercy, "I didn't say I would do anything to her."
Hou Yunjiao still didn't fully understand him.
He knew that the conversation just now must have been heard by Su Jingshu.
Hou Yunjiao's voice was somber, "Second brother, there's no need to bring up things from so many years ago."
