[GB] Boss Ruan, your husband doesn't want you anymore.

Qin Ru staggered after Ruan Qian'an, saying, "Why are you in such a hurry? I still want to find out more about what happened to Lan Meng."

Ruan Qian'an silently pulled Qin Ru outside, her face as dark as iron.

Qin Ru asked with a puzzled look, "What were you talking about just now? Why do you look so anxious now?"

Ruan Qian'an: "Dark City is more dangerous than ever before."

Ruan Qian'an sneered: "They've actually started doing the kind of business they used to do."

"When you came in, did you see that place outside? Do you know why they didn't want to go there? It's because that's where they escaped."

For them, that place outside was a paradise on earth.

Qin Ru couldn't understand what Ruan Qian'an was saying at all, and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Ruan Qian'an: "Now that you know the information you wanted to know, hurry up and leave. Don't stay here."

As she spoke, Ruan Qian'an led Qin Ru out of the Dark City quickly. Qin Ru forcefully broke free from Ruan Qian'an's hand and said, "Do you also want me to give up my revenge?"

Ruan Qian'an frowned: "Why should I ask you to give up?"

Qin Ru was a little confused by what Ruan Qian'an said: "Huh? Then why did you drag me out?"

Ruan Qian'an let out a breath, quite angry: "Was everything I just said just nonsense?"

"You should hurry up and leave here to go back to the Bai family."

Qin Ru: "No, I have no face to go back if I don't avenge Bai Ziqing."

Ruan Qian'an raised an eyebrow: "So you've decided to take revenge on your own now."

Qin Ru nodded obediently and said, "Yes, I don't want them to get hurt anymore. They are all very good people."

Furthermore, I don't want them to experience the pain of losing a child and then helplessly watch bad people get away with it.

Ruan Qian'an smiled and said, "Okay."

Then he turned around and left.

Qin Ru was slightly taken aback and hurriedly followed, asking, "Where are you going?"

Ruan Qian'an found it somewhat amusing: "You're going to seek revenge, and I also have things to do, so we're going our separate ways now."

Qin Ru suddenly stopped Ruan Qian'an and said, "No, I can't take revenge on my own."

Ruan Qian'an: "So what do you want?"

Qin Ru knelt down with a thud and said, "I beg you to help me. I know you have the ability."

Ruan Qian'an's eyes were full of impatience: "Do you think I'm some kind-hearted person?"

Qin Ru clung tightly to Ruan Qian'an as if grasping at the only straw: "Please, I'm not asking you to help me get revenge, I'm begging you to teach me. I want revenge, I can endure any hardship."

Qin Ru grabbed Ruan Qian'an's trouser leg tightly and kowtowed repeatedly at her feet, pleading, "Please."

Ruan Qian'an gently cupped Qin Ru's bleeding forehead in her hand, her eyes filled with amusement: "Alright."

"If that's the case, I'd still be happy to help you, but you'll have to pay me a fee."

Qin Ru knelt down, tears welling in her eyes, and looked at Ruan Qian'an, saying, "I'm willing to do anything as long as you help me."

Ruan Qian'an said, "I want you to work for me for the rest of your life. How about that? It's not a bad deal, is it?"

Qin Ru said, "It's worth it." She knew Ruan Qian'an's intention. To put it bluntly, Ruan Qian'an had already stepped into the dark zone with her desire for revenge, and could never go back to being an ordinary person. She could only live in darkness.

After taking her revenge, Qin Ru misses her old life every day.

The life she used to have gradually become a luxury for Qin Ru. The people were gone, and everything had changed.

Ruan Qian'an: "Let's go."

Qin Ru hurriedly stood up and asked, "Where are we going?"

Looking at this abandoned place, Ruan Qian'an said, "I'm going to see an old friend."

Dilapidated houses, rusty staircases, and crowded streets cannot be called streets or roads.

As more and more people come out of the Dark City, the place becomes even more crowded.

Qin Ru asked, "Why don't they go to other countries or cities?"

Ruan Qian'an said, "They are all unregistered residents, they have no identity, so they can only live here."

Qin Ru nodded knowingly.

The roads here are even more difficult to navigate, and Ruan Qian'an almost took the wrong path several times.

They arrived at a hair salon, where Ruan Qian'an led Qin Ru inside.

The people inside looked even more menacing; one was bald and tattooed, smoking a cigarette, while a cleaning lady with white hair mixed with black hair served them tea and water.

Qin Ru frowned. This was clearly elder abuse, but she didn't rush forward to cause trouble. She simply observed quietly.

People looked at them, some exhaling smoke from their mouths and sizing the two men up and down.

Ruan Qian'an calmly called out to the white-haired woman, "Aunt Hua."

One of the bald men cursed and said, "Who are you? Why are you calling me so intimately?"

The woman called Aunt Hua straightened up and looked towards the door. She was surprised to see Ruan Qian'an for a moment, then grabbed the bald man's face and slapped him aside.

She smiled kindly and gently at Ruan Qian'an and said, "You're back?"

Ruan Qian'an smiled and nodded, saying, "You're back."

Aunt Hua grabbed Ruan Qian'an's arm and said, "My goodness, look at you, you've lost a lot of weight. Why are you wearing so little?"

Aunt Hua: "I told you long ago not to go back to that house, you've suffered enough."

As she spoke, tears welled up in Aunt Hua's eyes. Ruan Qian'an smiled and said, "No, who would dare to mess with me?"

Aunt Hua said repeatedly, "Good, good, it's good that no one dares to bully us."

Ruan Qian'an: "Aunt Hua, where's Uncle Mei? I need to talk to him."

Aunt Hua wiped away her tears, not daring to ask Ruan Qian'an what was wrong with her eyes, and said, "Your Uncle Mei went out to buy food. Sit back down and wait for him to come."

Qin Ru followed Ruan Qian'an inside and sat down.

Uncle Mei returned shortly after. When he saw Ruan Qian'an, he was taken aback for a moment, but his expression immediately turned serious: "What are you doing back here?"

Ruan Qian'an waved to Uncle Mei with a grin and said, "Uncle Mei, I want to ask you something."

Uncle Mei snorted: "What would an old man like me know?"

Ruan Qian'an continued, "Uncle Mei, you must know something. I want to know if it's Jubaoge or Jinxiuge?"

Uncle Mei glared at her and touched the scar on his face; it was the scar inflicted by Ruan Qian'an.

Uncle Mei said, "How should I know? I severed ties with them a long time ago."

"Besides, isn't Dark City your territory?"

This time, Ruan Qian'an didn't stop Qin Ru from knowing about it; there was no need to hide it anymore.

Ignoring Qin Ru's shocked expression, Ruan Qian'an continued to ask, "Uncle Mei, you're not still angry about that matter, are you? It's been several years."

Ruan Qian'an continued, "Uncle Mei, can you tell me whether it's Jubaoge or Jinxiuge that's auctioning people?"

Uncle Mei: "You did something so stupid and then came to ask me? If I could beat you up, I would have already started beating you up."

After thinking for a while, Ruan Qian'an said, "Uncle Mei, don't be angry. I disappeared for a few days."

"I didn't do this."

Uncle Mei said, "It's Jubaoge."

Qin Ru suddenly realized and asked Ruan Qian'an, "You mean that ship is cooperating with the Treasure Pavilion in Dark City? They're auctioning people off?"

Ruan Qian'an: "I'm afraid it's more than that."

Qin Ru suddenly remembered Ling Shu's account of her experience: "Ling Shu was ambushed by someone, and she was a stunning beauty. Zi Qing, a child of the Bai family, could also have been ambushed by someone."

Ruan Qian'an said quietly, "These people were already reserved from the beginning."

"Blue Dream is the decision-maker, while Dark City is probably the executor."

"If you find out who the seller is, that's where your revenge will be taken."

Ruan Qian'an smiled and said, "Your targets for revenge are three forces."

Qin Ru gave a wry smile: "It really is like a moth drawn to a flame."

Then, forcing a smile, she said, "Luckily, we fought back and escaped." However, Bai Ziqing didn't have time to escape.

Ruan Qian'an frowned: "No."

Qin Ru: "What?"

Uncle Mei asked from the side, "Which ship did you escape from?"

"No wonder the people on that ship were in such a terrible state; they're probably already in the Treasure Pavilion by now."

With a thud, Qin Ru suddenly stood up and said, "They didn't manage to escape!"

Ruan Qian'an nodded: "Yes."

Ruan Qian'an rubbed her temples. How could she have lost control like this after disappearing for only a few days?

Who was behind this? The rapid collapse of Dark City can only mean that her trusted confidants betrayed her.

Jun Fan?

Qin Ru said to Ruan Qian'an, "We have to go save Ling Shu and the others!"

Ruan Qian'an: "Why should I go and save them?"

Qin Ru hesitated for a long time before saying, "If we can't save her, we should at least save those children. They haven't done anything wrong, and it's too pitiful for them to stay in that place."

Ruan Qian'an was dragged back by Qin Ru. Ruan Qian'an did not resist because she originally wanted to go and see.

If these issues aren't resolved, the dangers surrounding Huo Jingmo will likely increase.
