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

Long Ting stood up and tore off the human face mask from his body. As the mask was removed, a beautiful face was revealed.

Although she wore no makeup, the aloofness in her eyes made people hesitate to approach her.

Ruan Qian'an looked at her and said, "Words of power? Didn't I tell Chen Si to get up?"

With her cold and beautiful face, Yan Ling said to Ruan Qian'an in a coquettish tone, "Boss, Lord Chen can't come. Have you forgotten what he's doing right now?"

Ruan Qian'an frowned and said to Yan Ling, "Tell Chen Siqi to come over here. I don't need a disobedient subordinate."

Yan Ling chuckled and plopped down on Ruan Qian'an's lap, nestling against her chest like a little bird, and said, "Boss, calm down, I'll go inform Lord Chen right away. It's because you entrusted him with all these important matters that he's too busy to handle anything~ Or do you want to see Lord Chen~~~"

Yan Ling pouted and said, "Are you that disappointed to see me?"

Looking at Yan Ling's face, which was now ruined by the mask, Ruan Qian'an said with a displeased tone, "Look at the mess on your face. So you're saying you came here on your own?"

Yan Ling chuckled and said, "I wanted to see what's keeping my sister occupied for so long without contacting us."

He snuggled into her arms and said, "I missed you so much."

Ruan Qian'an looked at Yan Ling with disdain, whose body was large and burly but whose face was delicate and petite because of the costume, and said, "Alright, go down."

However, Yan Ling remained attached to Ruan Qian'an and did not get up.

Ruan Qian'an rubbed her temples. Ever since she turned eighteen, her mind had been foggy, so she hadn't contacted them.

Without her instructions, these people dared not enter City A.

As Ruan Qian'an was thinking, some images suddenly flashed through her mind, faintly intertwined images: herself going crazy, a terrifying entanglement, and Huo Jingmo with a pale face.

Ruan Qian'an hissed in discomfort.

Seeing that Ruan Qian'an was in pain, Yan Ling stood up and went behind her to massage her head.

"What's wrong, boss? Did I put too much drug on you when I kidnapped you and now you're experiencing side effects?"

Ruan Qian'an leaned back on the sofa: "No, I just remembered something."

-

The person sitting opposite Huo Jingmo in the reception room was none other than Chen Siqi.

Huo Jingmo spoke up, "President Chen, this project is at a critical stage. It would be a waste of my time to withdraw now."

"The fact that I'm turning down such high profits is making me a little panicked."

Chen Siqi: "I'm just a messenger. It's unrealistic to ask for nothing. As long as Mr. Huo doesn't let our company suffer losses, we can still continue to cooperate in the future."

Huo Jingmo smiled and said, "Of course, I'm not an ungrateful person."

After seeing the person off, Assistant Lin said from the side, "Mr. Huo feels like a pie is falling from the sky."

Huo Jingmo snorted coldly: "I'm afraid we can't let our guard down. They've taken the cut, they can make their own money, and we'll bear the risks. But risks come with opportunities. Since they've chosen not to take any, then I'll take it."

Huo Jingmo's eyes flashed with ruthlessness: "It has to succeed. There's no turning back now."

Assistant Lin handed the phone to Huo Jingmo, who picked it up and answered it.

Huo Jingmo: "Hey, Ji Tian, ​​how's it going? Have you found it yet?"

Ji Tian's voice sounded weak: "No, but I came to that burned-down house."

Huo Jingmo looked out the window at the skyscrapers outside. He was standing on the top floor. Looking down at the buildings, he sighed and said, "Take my men with you. I'll be there soon."

Ji Tian: "Jing Mo, I'm feeling a bit disoriented right now. What if he really dies?"

Huo Jingmo: "No, everything is unknown until we meet the person."

From Ruan Ming's words, we can learn that Ruan Qingyu is completely dead, and Lin Jiang and Ruan Ming did not witness what happened before they were thrown out.

All I heard was Ruan Qian'an saying that he was dead.

Huo Jingmo firmly believed that Ruan Qian'an would not kill Lin Jiang and invite trouble.

Huo Jingmo stopped Assistant Lin, who wanted to go with him, saying, "Assistant Lin, you have a lot of company business to attend to, so you don't need to go. I'll go by myself."

Assistant Lin: "Yes, Mr. Huo."

Huo Jingmo arrived at the burned-down house and walked to Ji Tian's side.

Ji Tian looked haggard, his clothes looking travel-worn and worn, as if he hadn't changed them in a long time.

“Jing Mo, if my brother loses his life, forget about cooperation, the old man might take your life too.”

Huo Jingmo coldly watched the crowd searching through the ruins.

He spoke in a hoarse voice, "I know."

Ji Tian said, "I know you didn't do it, but the old man won't believe it."

Huo Jingmo: "I will give you an explanation."

Ji Tian patted Huo Jingmo on the shoulder and said, "If it really comes to that, handing him over might save your life."

Huo Jingmo: "I have a feeling that Lin Jiang is not dead."

Ji Tian's eyes were bloodshot and he had dark circles under his eyes. He said with pain, "I kept this a secret. I really don't know how to explain it to the old man."

"The old man had a son late in life, and the whole family cherishes Lin Jiang. If Lin Jiang really dies, I can only atone with my death. But before I die, I must kill the culprit. Don't stop me then."

Ji Tian swayed unsteadily, then fell forward as if he couldn't stand.

Huo Jingmo caught him and glanced at the unshaven Ji Tian, ​​saying, "Once you see the body, Ruan Qian'an is at your disposal. She can't escape. But in your current state, I'm afraid you won't be a match for her. So go and rest in the car for a while. I'll keep an eye on things here."

Ji Tian felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand up even leaning on Huo Jingmo. He nodded weakly and said, "Okay."

After a while, two people came over. They looked at each other for a long time before one of them said, "After thoroughly investigating the area you mentioned, we did find traces of the two people."

"Could you please go and take a look?"

Huo Jingmo nodded and followed the two men, where they saw two mangled corpses that had been unearthed.

They couldn't tell who was who either.

Huo Jingmo stared blankly at the scene, feeling a chill in his heart.

After a moment of stunned silence, Huo Jingmo said, "Keep it hidden, don't let anyone know, including Ji Tian. I will personally tell him."

These people searching for him were all Huo Jingmo's men, so they naturally knew what they needed to hear.

Huo Jingmo walked back to the car and said to Ji Tian, ​​"Ji Tian, ​​we've found it."

Before Ji Tian could react, Huo Jingmo continued, "But it's still uncertain whether it's Lin Jiang's body or not."

Ji Tian: "What do you mean?! Huo Jingmo! At a time like this, you're still going to speak up for Ruan Qian'an, and even take the blame for her?"

Huo Jingmo shook his head and said, "No, I just find it strange that Ruan Qian'an burned down the house, as if she was destroying something."

Ji Tian remained silent: "What do you want to do?"

Huo Jingmo: "To prove whether this person is Lin Jiang, we need to do a DNA comparison."

Huo Jingmo recalled the hatred in Ruan Qian'an's eyes when she looked at him, so he said to Ji Tian, ​​"I'm sorry to have dragged you into this."

“I’m not protecting Ruan Qian’an. Just like you said, General Lin won’t let me off the hook. I have to protect myself.”

“Ruan Qian’an is after me. If she really targets Lin Jiang, she’ll not only be bringing trouble upon herself, but she’ll be asking for trouble. So she probably won’t target Lin Jiang.”

Hearing Huo Jingmo say this, Ji Tian breathed a sigh of relief. Rather than seeking revenge, he wanted his younger brother to live a good life.
