Chapter 699: Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
Chapter 699: Qin Ruan Is Being Targeted by an Evil Spirit, Tonight Is Dangerous
Su Wang was forcefully pulled downstairs by Hou Qiang.
Li Zilan, sitting in the car, saw the two of them coming out of the hallway and rushed over.
She threw herself into Su Wang's arms and burst into tears.
"I was so scared, I thought you were going to die!!"
She clung tightly to Su Wang, her tears falling onto his shoulder, wetting his thin clothes.
The night breeze blew, the scalding tears soaked into the fabric on his shoulder, the warmth taken away, leaving only a chill.
Su Wang patted Li Zilan's shoulder, comforting her in a low voice.
Lin Hao walked to Hou Qiang's side, his brows furrowed in question. "Where's Madam?"
"Upstairs, Hou Zhi is watching over her."
"What's going on?"
Hou Qiang's expression changed slightly, shaking his head. "Not sure yet."
It was definitely an evil spirit causing trouble upstairs.
As for the level of danger, Hou Qiang, being an ordinary person, had no clue.
Lin Hao looked up at the lit room upstairs, his face tensed, his expression not very good.
Just now, Qin Ruan had abdominal pain, and he didn't know if something unexpected might happen.
He had a feeling that something was amiss tonight, like something was about to happen.
Lin Hao hesitated for a moment in place, then passed by Hou Qiang. "I'll go upstairs and check."
His constitution was different, maybe he could help Qin Ruan in some way.
Hou Qiang reached out to stop him, but his hand froze halfway.
He knew Lin Hao's constitution was special.
With Lin Hao around, things might change if something happened between Madam and a stranger upstairs.
"I'll go with you!"
Hou Qiang caught up to Lin Hao's figure in big strides, their footsteps hurried.
Before they even reached upstairs, they saw Qin Ruan and Lan An walking out from the entrance of the hallway.
Qin Ruan was holding her waist, her face contorted in pain.
"Madam!"
Hou Qiang and Lin Hao's expressions were shocked, rushing up to her.
With Lan An's careful support, Qin Ruan slowly descended the stairs step by step.
The old and dilapidated building had no elevator, so they had to walk down on foot.
The short journey brought Qin Ruan unimaginable pain.
Her stomach contracted in pain, the contractions intensifying.
Hou Qiang and Lin Hao reached out to take Qin Ruan from Lan An's hands.
The latter's handsome face was filled with worry, and he was reluctant to let go.
Qin Ruan moved away from Lan An on her own, and only then did he release his grip.
Lan An's pair of emerald green eyes stared at Qin Ruan, showing clear concern and worry for her.
With the support of Hou Qiang and Lin Hao, Qin Ruan sat in the car.
Su Wang and Li Zilan stood outside the car, gazing at her with worried eyes.
They had so many questions they wanted to ask, but seeing Qin Ruan's pale complexion, they didn't know how to bring it up.
Without them asking, Qin Ruan spoke up, "Where's Shen Ran?"
"Isn't he upstairs?"
"He's upstairs!"
Su Wang and Li Zilan said simultaneously.
Qin Ruan's gaze turned slightly cold. "He's not Shen Ran, he's a wraith."
Li Zilan's expression froze, her voice trembling, "That's impossible!"
Shen Ran had clearly returned with them, how could he become a ghost?
Qin Ruan looked at Su Wang, her gaze penetrating.
The latter's face turned tense, and he nervously swallowed. "Xiao Wu, are you sure?"
Qin Ruan leaned back against the car seat, her eyelids half-closed. "None of the scattered limbs inside the room belong to Shen Ran's body. He's not upstairs."
The images of those broken body parts and the bloody scene flooded Su Wang's mind once again.
Unable to escape, the horrifying feeling of waiting for death engulfed him, making him feel suffocated.
Su Wang's face turned ashen, and he suppressed the urge to vomit, anxiously asking, "Then where is Shen Ran? Is he in danger?"
Qin Ruan shook her head. "I don't know."
Her hand rested on her heavily pregnant belly, her brows slightly furrowed.
Seeing her discomfort, Hou Qiang bent down, respectful. "Madam, are you feeling unwell? Should I call a doctor?"
Qin Ruan waved her hand. "No need, I just need to rest for a moment."
With Shen Ran's fate uncertain and the jujube Tree unresolved, she couldn't just return like this.
The child in her belly was restless, and she needed to take a break.
Huo Qiang hesitated. "Madam, if Third Young Master finds out..."
Qin Ruan interrupted him with a firm tone, "Then don't let him find out!"
Encountering an unnatural event, Li Zilan, who had learned of Shen Ran's disappearance, was on edge, radiating hostility and vigilance.
Seeing Li Zilan's reaction, Lan An and Ling Feng, who were standing not far away, remained calm and accustomed.
After all, the scenes Qin Ruan had shown them were even more thrilling than this.
But Su Wang and Li Zilan's hearts nearly stopped beating.
An unnatural event had occurred right before their eyes, leaving them frightened and uneasy.
Years of understanding had been shattered and rebuilt, and they could no longer describe their current feelings in words.
After Lan An left, Qin Ruan suddenly turned around, gazing at a dark alley not far away.
That was a pathway to even more chaos and complexity, a place truly submerged in human darkness, on the edge of the law.
As long as you passed through that alley, you would enter a realm of human hell, filled with the sale of various weapons, illegal drugs, and the reaping of lives.
Having lived in the West City for eighteen years, Qin Ruan was well aware of what went on there.
Just a moment ago, she had felt something in that alley staring at her.
Greed and malice, it made her shudder involuntarily.
"What are you looking at?"
Ling Feng had walked up to Qin Ruan's side at some point.
