Chapter 423: Ruan Ruan Is Very Likable


Qin Ruan withdrew her gaze from the safe deposit box and asked Hou Chuan with a worried tone, "Is Third Young Master Hou's alright?"


Hou Chuan respectfully replied, "Master is not in a good mood."


Qin Ruan fell into silence. If Hou Yunjiao wasn't in a good mood, she couldn't go back either.


She asked again, "Is Second Master at home as well?"


Huo Chuan replied, "Yes, Second Master will also go on this mission."


Qin Ruan's heart skipped a beat, and a look of doubt flashed in her eyes. "What exactly happened?"


Hou Chuan pursed his lips and said, "Madam, I will explain later. Let Hou Zhi leave first. There are people waiting for her outside."


Qin Ruan waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."


Huo Chuan walked up to Hou Zhi and placed the safe deposit box in front of her.


Hou Zhi took the box, and it was not light. Her body sank slightly but quickly stabilized.


"Xiao Zhi, come back safely."


Hou Zhi, who had just regained her balance, looked at Hou Chuan with a surprised expression. She bit her lip and said, "I will."


Hou Chuan clenched his jaw and spoke in a cold tone, "Go. When you come back, the brothers will celebrate your return."


"Okay!" Hou Zhi nodded vigorously, her eyes slightly red.


She turned and bowed to Qin Ruan, "Madam, I'm leaving."


Qin Ruan narrowed her eyes, her gaze shifting between Hou Zhi and Hou Chuan.


She had a feeling that these two were too serious, as if Hou Zhi was embarking on a journey of life and death.


Ignoring the strange feeling in her heart, Qin Ruan spoke gently to Hou Zhi, "Huo Zhi, come back safely."


Hou Zhi lowered her head and softly responded before briskly walking away with the box.


Qin Anguo stared at Hou Zhi's departing figure, his sharp eyes narrowed, and a shrewd expression appeared on his face.


Only after Hou Zhi's figure disappeared did he slowly speak to Qin Ruan, "Ruan Ruan, that girl who just left probably won't return."


Qin Ruan's expression changed abruptly, "Dad, what do you mean?"


Qin Anguo took a sip of tea, smiled warmly at Qin Ruan, and slowly said, "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Extraordinary measures require extraordinary individuals. It is rumored that the death warriors of ancient noble families are fiercely loyal and fearless of death. They dare to face death without fearing sacrifice, and they never seek rewards for their achievements. To them, the reception of celebration represents courageous sacrifice, their ultimate honor. These are just rumors I've heard, and it's hard to discern the truth from them. But I had a feeling that the girl just now went on a one-way journey."


Qin Ruan's eyes narrowed, sharp and piercing as she stared at Hou Chuan beside her, and asked in a deep voice, "How dangerous is this mission for Hou Zhi?"

Hou Chuan lowered his gaze, his tone calm: ''Ten deaths without life.''


Qin Ruan took a deep breath, trying hard to remain calm ''Why does it have to be her?''


Hou Chuan's tone remained as cold as before ''It's the Master's command, and as a member of the secret department, it must be executed.''


Implicitly, there was no reason. Since the master had sent them on a mission, even if they knew it meant certain death, they had to go without hesitation.


Qin Ruan ground her teeth, her face turned frighteningly dark, and the accusing gaze in her eyes made people shudder.


She quite liked Hou Zhi, this girl. She was a few years older, composed in character, rarely spoke, and her way of doing things made people feel comfortable without any sense of offense.


Qin Ruan stood up and walked briskly towards the door.


''Madam!'' Hou Chuan immediately stepped forward to stop her. ''Madam, Third Young Master has a message for me to convey to you.''


''Whatever the message is, tell me later!''


Qin Ruan didn't stop her steps. She couldn't just stand by and watch Hou Zhi go to her death.


Ten deaths without life, what kind of concept was that? Hou Zhi was undoubtedly going to die if she went.


Seeing Qin Ruan about to rush out of the door, Hou Chuan rudely rushed forward and stretched out his arms to stop her. ''Madam, Third Young Master said that if you try to stop me, let me tell you that Hou Zhi deserves this fate, so you don't need to feel soft-hearted for her.''


There was an underlying meaning in his words. Did Third Young Master imply that Hou Zhi deserved to die?


Qin Ruan frowned, staring coldly at Hou Chuan. ''What do you mean?''


Hou Chuan clenched his teeth, showing a hint of emotion, his tone slightly heavier: ''Huo Zhi herself is a spy planted by another family in the Huo family.''


''Are you sure?!''


A flicker of doubt passed through Qin Ruan's eyes, her face filled with shock. In that instant, her thoughts were completely in chaos.


Her heart went up and down, her brain not functioning properly.


If Hou Zhi was a spy planted by another family, why would Third Young Master assign her to be by her side?


In her previous life, at the Wondrous Treasure Mountain Cemetery, Hou Zhi even followed Third Young Master to pay respects to her.


Qin Ruan was familiar with both Hou Zhi and Hou Chuan, and even with Hou Qiang, who was constantly by Hou Yirong's side, she had occasionally met him.


If Hou Zhi was a traitor, why was she able to be with Third Young Master in her previous life without any changes?


No, something's not right!


Qin Ruan suddenly widened her eyes.

In the past life, before Third Young Master's death, Hou Zhi suddenly disappeared.


In the six months leading up to Hou Yunjiao death, only Hou Chuan remained by his side, and Hou Zhi suddenly vanished.


Could she really be a traitor to the Hou family?

Qin Ruan couldn't believe it. With Hou Yunjiao regard for her and their child, it was impossible for him to leave such a potential danger by her side.


She frowned, her face showing evident distress and annoyance. She felt agitated and increasingly frustrated the more she thought about it.


Qin Anguo walked up to Qin Ruan and patted her shoulder. "Don't overthink things on your own. If there's something you don't understand, why not ask Third Young Master Hou?"


Her mind instantly cleared, and Qin Ruan quickly turned back to the desk, picked up her phone, and opened the call log, dialing Hou Yunjiao's number directly.


The call was answered immediately.


"Ruan Ruan?" Hou Yunjiao's voice came through the speaker, cold and low.


Hearing his familiar tone, Qin Ruan could sense that Hou Yunjiao wasn't in a good mood.


She went straight to the point. "Third Young Master, will Huo Zhi come back alive this time?"


Hou Yunjiao seemed unprepared for Qin Ruan's question about whether Hou Zhi would return alive; it wasn't within his expectations.


He chuckled softly and calmly through the speaker, his voice clearly reaching Qin Ruan's ears. "Ruan Ruan, aren't you going to ask me if Hou Zhi is a traitor?"


Qin Ruan replied with certainty, "I don't think she is."


Saying she believed Hou Zhi wasn't a traitor was equivalent to saying she trusted Hou Yunjiao.


She believed in this man, that he wouldn't put her and their child in danger.


On the other end of the phone, Hou Yunjiao stood on the study balcony, his hand lightly resting on the railing. Upon hearing Qin Ruan's confident answer, he looked slightly stunned.


After a moment, he understood something and laughed again, his laughter deep and pleasing.


Qin Ruan held her phone to her ear, and Hou Yunjiao's laughter resonated clearly through the speaker, reaching her slightly unsettled heart.


It felt as if he was standing right beside her, leaning down and speaking in her ear—this kind of reassurance was something no one else could provide.


"Indeed, she isn't."


Hou Yunjiao's gentle voice was as mellow as wine.


He gave Qin Ruan a clear answer, a reward for her trust.


The young girl seemed naive, but when it came to matters of right and wrong, she always trusted him like this.


Hou Zhi, a hidden guard, could she gain Qin Ruan's trust in such a short time?

The answer was no.


So why did Qin Ruan believe that Hou Zhi wasn't a traitor? It all came down to him.


Hou Yunjiao, pleased by Qin Ruan's response and her trust, felt a good deal of his anger dissipate after receiving the devastating news.


This little girl was just so likable.

Chapter 500: Meng Yunzheng's Original Strategy

As soon as he entered the room, Meng Yunzheng said, "I heard that you buried a lot of silver outside Dong'an Prefecture?"

Unlike Shu Yu, the officers had more freedom in their time and travel. Meng Yunzheng had just caught up, and he had already met the leading officer.

Naturally, the officer had informed him of what had happened during the day.

Meng Yunzheng was quite surprised. They had actually discussed their strategy after the five taels of silver ran out. They had planned to ensure that Shu Yu continued to receive special treatment from the officers.

But now it seemed unnecessary.

Shu Yu raised her head and smiled. "Yes, didn't you help me bury the silver?"

"I finally understand why you buried it in so many different places." Meng Yunzheng hadn't guessed it before. He smiled and praised her, "It's a good idea."

Shu Yu flicked her fallen hair. "Of course. I don't lack silver now. Any problem that can be solved with silver is not a big problem for me. I've been prepared to spend money to resolve any troubles on this journey of exile."

Meng Yunzheng smiled. She indeed had money now.

He had been unaware of how much silver was in that box containing the silver notes. When he opened it, he discovered a thick stack of silver.

Zhao Xi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. It turned out that when Shu Yu made the hand gesture indicating two, it wasn't two thousand taels but more than twenty thousand taels of silver.

So the exotic goods she mentioned earlier that she planned to sell in the black market had received such a high offer?

Zhao Xi became even more curious and expressed his deep jealousy.

Shu Yu felt quite proud. She was now a wealthy woman with over twenty thousand taels of silver. Compared to her previous miserable state with only sixty taels, she was truly enjoying herself.

Moreover, she couldn't always rely on Meng Yunzheng and the others to arrange everything for her. That would make her seem useless, right?

However, she was still a little curious.

"If, and I mean if, I didn't bury any silver outside Dong'an Prefecture, what method would you use to ensure that the officers continue to take care of me?"

Meng Yunzheng replied, "We would create accidents that would allow you to save the leading officer. Since you would be his lifesaver, he would treat you better on the journey, and the other officers wouldn't say anything. However, it's still better to use silver to resolve the situation. After all, if you save someone, you might suffer some pain."

And there might even be unexpected accidents.

However, Shu Yu lamented, "Why didn't you say that earlier? I think your plan is good, and it doesn't require spending a single penny. Besides, if I got injured a bit, maybe they would even arrange a carriage to push me along."

Meng Yunzheng: "..." You're really thinking too much.

He smiled, "With so much money now, are you still concerned about such a small matter?"

"A small matter? It's not a small matter, it's a hundred taels." Shu Yu mocked herself for regretting it so much, then continued to bite into the sauce-covered pork elbow.

Chapter 499: The Attitude Shift of the Shu Family

After hesitating for a moment, Shu Yu turned her head and glanced at the Shu family members, explaining, "Earlier, because I'm not a daughter of the Shu family, they wanted to kill me. Although I miraculously escaped with my life, I didn't have any silver on me and suffered a lot after fleeing the mansion. That's when I developed this habit of separating and burying the silver in different places. It gives me a sense of security."

The group of officers couldn't help but look at the Shu family members, feeling pity for their misfortune.

The Shu family members were even more indignant. How could she benefit from their misfortune?

Shu Yu looked at the leading officer and said, "Everything I said is true. I don't have the courage to deceive you."

"Alright, we believe that you won't deceive us." The leading officer nodded and waved his hand, signaling her to go back.

As Shu Yu was about to leave, another officer asked, "With so many places where you buried the silver, how much is it altogether?"

If it was too little, they would feel disappointed.

Shu Yu replied, "Approximately one hundred taels."

One hundred taels? Adding the fifteen taels they gave her on the way, it was nearly one hundred and twenty taels.

There were six officers, which meant each person would receive less than twenty taels.

To be honest, it wasn't a large amount.

However, they initially thought they wouldn't gain anything on this journey, maybe not even a single copper coin.

Now, with this unexpected income, it was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Twenty taels were still silver, and an ordinary farming family could live off it for five or six years. They hadn't reached the point of being generous enough to give away this shining silver.

Therefore, the officers nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions. They just took the ten taels of silver and excitedly discussed asking the cook at the inn to prepare two extra meat dishes for dinner.

Shu Yu returned to her previous spot and calmly started eating the rice ball.

The Shu family members stared at her with eyes that seemed to pop out, shocked and filled with anger.

Shu Yu lifted her head, glanced at them, and then smiled faintly, raising the rice ball toward them.

The Shu family members: "...Bitch!!"

The eldest daughter broke her own rice cake into two pieces, one of which fell on the ground. She didn't care about Shu Yu for the moment and quickly picked up the small piece, blew off the dust, and reluctantly ate it.

Shu Yu finished her rice ball contentedly and leaned against the big tree to rest, unaware that several members of the Shu family were looking at her with eyes filled with complexity, calculation, or contemplation.

The officers soon urged them to continue their journey, and by evening, the group arrived at the post station.

As expected, the officers dispatched someone to send a message back, instructing them to dig up the silver at the two locations Shu Yu mentioned.

Shu Yu remained calm, and the officers felt reassured.

Due to the events of the day, Shu Yu could clearly sense a subtle change in the attitude of the Shu family members towards her during the night.

Perhaps they finally realized that opposing her brought no benefits, or maybe their plan to isolate her and make her suffer had failed, causing them to rethink how they would interact with her in the future.

But Shu Yu had no intention of changing her approach. She enjoyed being relaxed and free by herself. Why bother with maintaining superficial harmony with the Shu

family members? Wasn't it exhausting?

Fortunately, on that night, they didn't take any action and everyone slept quietly.

As usual, Shu Yu woke up and went to "do her business," skillfully following Meng Yunzheng into an empty room in the darkness.

Arc 2 Chapter 109: Gamer God, Please Don't Tease (66)

Su Xun hadn't expected that a Weibo expose would turn into such a fortunate twist of events. The unpredictability of life was truly astonishing.

"Can't change your mind, can you?" Luo Liyan tossed a sanitary ball at him, then lightly bumped her forehead against Su Xun's smooth one.

The two of them suddenly burst into laughter their spirits high.

[System Prompt: Congratulations to the female lead for finding the male lead who loves you dearly. You have been rewarded with 200 Golden Beans and you now have 400 Golden Beans.]

So it's over already?

Luo Liyan heard the prompt and felt a deep sense of reluctance. However, after waiting for a while she didn't hear Little Six's voice asking if she wanted to leave.

"Hey, Little Si did you just crash or something?" Luo Liyan secretly asked in her mind.

[You're the one who's crashed! I'm an artificial intelligence system how could I possibly have issues? Crashing is something low-end computers do and it's not possible for me.] Number 666 spoke like a grumpy cat.

"Okay okay, you didn't crash. I'd rather have you crash." Luo Liyan consoled in a good mood. "But why didn't you ask me this time if I want to stay or leave?"

[You're so young how can your memory be so bad? Have you forgotten about the side mission that requires the male lead to win the S tournament championship? And, considering your infatuated look right now, do I even need to ask? It's obvious you'll stay, so your 100 Golden Beans will be deducted as soon as you complete the side mission.] Number 666 sighed with sorrow.

"Aw, aw, aw, aw…" Liryan pitifully called out twice in her mind and blushed slightly due to Little Six's teasing.

"Luo Liyan how about I take you out to eat?" Su Xun said as he gently rubbed his face against hers, affectionate and indulgent in his tone.

It was already nearly 9 p.m., and not having dinner wouldn't be good for Luo Liyan's stomach.

"Uh... shouldn't we deal with this Weibo matter first before going to eat?" Luo Liyan blinked her eyes looking at him with puzzlement.

Su Xun was somewhat of a public figure now and with this Weibo incident blowing up so much, going out with him would surely attract onlookers and photographers.

"Deal with it? What's there to deal with?" Su Xun raised an eyebrow nonchalantly. "I'm going to completely withdraw from this industry. Let them do whatever they want it's none of my business."

"Boss!"

Although they had known that something like this might happen and that Su Xun wouldn't return to professional esports his confirmation still left the LAS members unable to accept it.

If their boss didn't play they might not make it to the finals of the S tournament this year.

They all looked up at Luo Liyan seeking her help. Only she could persuade Su Xun to change his mind with just a few words.

Luo Liyan lowered her eyelids feeling a bit embarrassed as she looked at their eager eyes. She reached out and gently poked Su Xun's nose.

"Why are you leaving the esports scene? You're so talented you should naturally shine on this stage. Why let some malicious people get their way?"

"But if I return to this stage without winning the S tournament global championship there will definitely be haters online saying unpleasant things." Su Xun's eyes were filled with sorrow.

Arc 2 Chapter 108: Gamer God, Please Don't Tease (65) 

Luo Liyan gripped the large hand that Su Xun had used to cover her eyes and slowly moved it aside. She observed his expression which had gone from the end of the world to one of confusion.

"Is everything ZZ exposed true? Did you really do all those things because of me?"

Although she had known about these things for a while, Su Xun didn't so she decided to feign surprise to avoid revealing the truth too soon.

Su Xun was taken aback not expecting her to jump to this question. A faint blush colored his otherwise porcelain-like face.

He awkwardly cleared his throat and with a resigned nod, replied"Uh, it's all true."

"Why? Why do you like me so much?" Luo Liyan inquired.

Su Xun lowered his gaze hesitating for a moment before softly answering "Do you remember the person you rescued from the mountain six years ago?"

"Are you that bloody man?" Luo Liyan pretended to gasp in shock. "So, what you're saying is that you only like me because I saved you and now you want to repay me with your love?"

For some reason this assumption made her heart feel heavy.

She handed the phone back to Su Xun and gave him a scolding look. "You're not living in ancient times how can you have such old-fashioned thoughts?"

"That's only part of the reason." Su Xun said and as she was genuinely getting upset he quickly pulled her into his arms.

"I love you just because you're you. That night you saved me I fell for you. But it was the you I had secretly admired all along. I love how you fight and how you stand your ground how you get excited about things and laugh like a child."

His love for Luo Liyan was boundless. His heart which beat passionately had no room for anything else but her.

"So... Luo Liyan, will you be my girlfriend? Give me a chance and I promise to cherish you and never do anything you don't like." Su Xun cautiously asked.

Luo Liyan leaned softly against Su Xun's chest and listened to his strong and steady heartbeat. She felt like she was melting in a sweet and sugary sensation.

"Yes." Luo Liyan nodded slightly.

How could she not like someone like him?

Given more time, she might even fall deeply in love with this excellent yet silly man.

"Really?" Su Xun slightly pulled back and his deep sparkling eyes stared at Luo Liyan like the myriad stars in the galaxy.

When one's attachment to a particular thing runs too deep it can turn into an obsession. In Su Xun's case Luo Liyan had become that kind of obsession. So after receiving her confirmation, he found himself feeling a bit uneasy.

"Not true." Luo Liyan playfully raised an eyebrow and stared at Su Xun whose face still held a hint of confusion.

Su Xun let out a soft chuckle.

With one arm wrapped around her waist he lifted Luo Liyan up and gently pecked her soft lips twice. "No turning back you've already agreed."
