The majestic and solemn gate of the Hou family slowly opened as the car carrying Qin Ruan drove into the ancient and grand Hou family estate.
As soon as the car entered the Hou residence, Qin Ruan, who was napping in the back seat, slowly opened her eyes.
Her gaze passed through the car window, sweeping over the scenery of the Hou family courtyard illuminated by the dim yellow streetlights.
"You've been sleeping all the way, are you that tired?"
A confused voice sounded beside Qin Ruan, tinged with a hint of grievance and mild reproach.
Li Manning had been acting as a ghost these days, with no one to communicate with except her enemies. It was a rare encounter with Qin Ruan.
She had a lot to say, especially regarding the matter of finding her son, which she cared deeply about.
Qin Ruan sleeping all the way made her feel both frustrated and anxious.
Li Manning was already a formidable ghost, and her powers were particularly strong during the nighttime peak period. It was inevitable that she would feel restless.
Upon hearing her displeased tone, Qin Ruan turned her head to look. Her eyes were still hazy with sleepiness, and she wasn't fully awake.
When she met Li Manning's pale face, she lazily spoke, "I'm pregnant, so I've been feeling drowsy lately."
Surprise flashed across Li Manning's face. "You're pregnant?!"
Qin Ruan touched her belly and nodded, "It's been almost three months."
Hou Chuan and Hou Zhi, sitting in the front, listened to the murmurs of the young madam in the back seat and exchanged a glance. They were already accustomed to such conversations.
"You're actually pregnant!" Li Manning was genuinely shocked. Her gaze slowly lowered, fixed on Qin Ruan's belly.
With just one glance, her expression couldn't help but change drastically.
She pointed at Qin Ruan's abdomen, her voice stuttering, "Him, why does he have the same energy as you?"
Qin Ruan looked puzzled. "What energy?"
"Your belly, there's a golden glow inside!"
Li Manning hadn't noticed Qin Ruan's belly before, but upon closer inspection, she discovered that the energy emanating from Qin Ruan was particularly concentrated in her lower abdomen.
Qin Ruan smiled, not particularly surprised by this.
The child itself was like her, absorbing the dark aura and being nurtured by the power of the Underworld God. It was destined for him to be different from ordinary children.
While driving, Hou Chuan suddenly stepped on the brake, and the sound of emergency braking echoed in his ears.
Suddenly, Qin Ruan's body shook.
She reached out to hold onto the car door, steadying herself, and frowned as she looked ahead. "What happened?"
Hou Zhi, who had turned her gaze forward, withdrew it with a look of surprise on her face. She turned around and looked at Qin Ruan with a worried expression. "Madam, are you okay?"
Qin Ruan shook her head. "I'm fine. What's happening up ahead?"
Hou Zhi respectfully reported, "Hou Qiang is handling something up ahead. The streetlights are a bit dim, and I didn't see him just now."
Curiosity causing her to lean forward, Qin Ruan saw Hou Qiang and his group in the middle of the road, including a person who looked disheveled and helpless, being dragged by Hou Qiang.
From the situation, it was clear that they were involved in something illicit.
For certain matters, Qin Ruan, who had long lived in the western part of the city, had a keen intuition.
Hou Qiang, upon seeing that it was the young madam's car, immediately had his subordinates step aside on the roadside to make way.
Hou Chuan, sitting inside the car, nodded at Hou Qiang and continued driving forward.
The car brushed past Hou Qiang's group.
The position where they stood happened to be in the direction Qin Ruan was facing.
As they passed by Hou Qiang's group, Qin Ruan's gaze inadvertently swept over the man lying lifelessly on the ground.
Coincidentally, Lin Hao slowly raised his powerless head.
His lifeless and dull eyes glanced at the passing vehicle.
Due to the protective film on the car window, he couldn't see the person inside the car.
Sitting in the back seat, Qin Ruan clearly saw his resolute face, which had become familiar to her through memories from her past lives.
Even after many years, she still remembered Lin Hao's face.
In contrast to the previous years, Lin Hao now lacked his former vitality and the air of a ruffian and rogue in the western part of the city.
If it weren't for that unchanged face, Qin Ruan would have almost failed to recognize him.
Three years ago, in the underground fighting arena of the western part of the city, Lin Hao had once shown her kindness.
As the car slowly moved forward, Qin Ruan watched helplessly as the other person's face, which welcomed death, slowly disappeared from her sight.
Hou Qiang watched the young madam's car drive away, dragging Lin Hao along and continuing forward.
One of his subordinates beside him suddenly curiously spoke up, "Uncle Qiang, the young madam always comes back late at night. What exactly is she busy with?"
Hou Qiang's tone turned severe. "Don't inquire about the master's affairs."
The henchman chuckled and said, "I'm just curious, Chen Ge and Xiao Zhizi have been following Madam Shao all the time, but we don't know what they're busy with. We're all quite curious."
Hou Qiang coldly replied, "Curiosity comes with a price."
This henchman had been by Hou Qiang's side for many years and could be said to have been raised by him.
He had no fear of Hou Qiang at all, and even approached him, whispering mysteriously, "I heard that Madam Shao has special abilities, she can see things that we can't see."
Hou Qiang effortlessly dragged Lin Hao along and narrowed his eyes, glancing at his henchman and asked in a low voice, "Where did you hear that from?"
The henchman grinned and said, "Little Wu, who was with Madam Shao last time, told me."
Huo Qiang warned, "Tell him to keep his mouth shut. If the Second and Third Masters find out about this, you'll surely suffer."
The henchman shrugged indifferently, "We were just discussing among ourselves, didn't say anything to anyone else."
"Stop!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.
It was the Madam they were discussing.
Hou Qiang's expression remained unchanged, but his henchman beside him turned pale.
He thought that their discussion about Madam had been overheard, and she was here to settle the score.
Hou Qiang let go of Lin Hao, who made no struggle and had no reaction, like a dead dog. He turned around to face Qin Ruan.
Under the dim streetlights, Qin Ruan walked steadily, with quick but composed steps, approaching Hou Qiang and his group.
Hou Qiang dropped the person in his hand, lowered his head slightly, and respectfully called out, "Madam."
"Madam—"
His henchman behind him also lowered their heads, speaking with a respectful tone.
Qin Ruan walked to Hou Qiang's side and pointed at the motionless Lin Hao on the ground, "Where do you intend to take this person?"
Following her gaze, Hou Qiang coldly stared at Lin Hao, his voice slightly heavy, "This person wanted to attack the Third Young Master during the day, and we caught him in the act."
Qin Ruan's delicate face showed a slight change upon hearing that Lin Hao wanted to harm the Third Young Master, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.
Recalling Lin Hao's kindness to her, she sighed softly and said to Hou Qiang, "Let me take care of this person."
Hou Qiang was about to say something when Lin Hao, who was lying on the ground, suddenly sat up.
He looked at Qin Ruan in disbelief and said, "Qin Xiao Wu?!"
As soon as the name Qin Xiao Wu was mentioned, a trace of darkness flashed in Hou Qiang's eyes.
When the Second Master asked him to investigate information about Madam, it included her aliases in the western city, one of which was the ruthless and vicious beauty called Qin Xiao Wu.
Seeing that Lin Hao recognized her, Qin Ruan slowly curved her lips, a faint smile appearing on her face.
She smiled and spoke, "So, you still remember me."
Lin Hao chuckled, his tone ambiguous, "But how could I forget after three years?"
"Yes, it has been three years since we last saw each other."
Qin Ruan approached Lin Hao, and Hou Qiang and his subordinates immediately stepped aside.
They were in a difficult position. The people they were ordered to deal with by the second and third masters turned out to be an old acquaintance of the young madam.
Hou Qiang looked coldly at Lin Hao, who had previously seemed determined to die. Now, in the presence of the young madam, he looked rejuvenated as if he had become a different person.
Qin Ruan stood in front of Lin Hao, her beautiful eyes looking down on him, her voice slightly stern, "Why did you target Third Young Master Hou?"
A scornful arc formed at the corner of Lin Hao's lips. Under the dim streetlight, his resolute face revealed a hidden bitterness.
"The master gave the order, I dare not disobey."
Qin Ruan furrowed her brows, "Three years ago, after our fight in the underground fighting arena, you disappeared. Did you already have a master at that time?"
Lin Hao ran his hand through his sticky, blood-colored hair and grunted in response.
That single grunt contained too much complexity, making it impossible for Qin Ruan to discern his emotions.
Three years ago, the local gangster, Sixth Master, took an interest in her. He was a difficult character.
Naturally, Qin Ruan swore not to submit, but her stubbornness had caused her a great deal of trouble.
She was still young back then, lacking finesse in her methods. The only thing she could do was resort to desperate measures.
Although Sixth Master was a local gangster in the western city, in order to maintain control over his subordinates and win over the people's support in the western city, he was known to keep his promises.
Seeing that threats and enticements didn't work on Qin Ruan, Sixth Master made a statement.
As long as Qin Ruan could win three consecutive matches in his underground boxing arena, he would let her go. He wouldn't force her anymore, and he would even protect her, ensuring that no one would harm her.
Men always suffer from possessiveness, commonly known as jealousy. They don't want others to have what they can't have.
Qin Ruan didn't want to submit to Sixth Master. In order to avoid his coercion and to hold him to his promise of protection, she relied on her petite and frail body to barely win the first two matches in the underground boxing arena.
It could be described as a narrow victory. After all, there was a significant gap between a woman's physical strength and a man's.
Qin Ruan reached her physical limit at that time, sustaining severe injuries. She even came close to disfigurement in her second match.
The underground boxing arena didn't adhere to any rules, and no one stopped the use of dirty tricks. The spectators only cared about the results, not the process.
During the second battle of Qin Ruan, her opponent drew a deadly weapon at the critical moment and aimed it at her face.
If it hadn't been for Lord Liu firing his gun and hitting the opponent's wrist, Qin Ruan's face might have been left with an irreparable scar.
Back then, with Qin Ruan's exhausted body, she had no chance to react swiftly and evade that strike.
Lord Liu intended to go easy on her, but Qin Ruan still had one last match.
In the final event, she encountered Lin Hao.
Lin Hao's name was renowned even in the Western City. He was the star of Lord Liu's underground boxing arena, known for his ferocity and extreme brutality. Numerous boxers had been crippled by his hands.
The undefeated Lin Hao earned a lot of money for Lord Liu in the underground boxing arena and was highly regarded by him.
They both knew of each other's existence.
If we talk about their intersections, there were hardly any, except for occasional encounters.
Perhaps out of pity for Qin Ruan being mistreated by Lord Liu, Lin Hao secretly went easy on her, allowing the physically exhausted Qin Ruan to escape disaster.
