...

"Why did you kill him?"

Ruan Wenzhong's face was exceptionally grim, almost as if moss could grow on it, looking particularly ferocious and terrifying... His current fame was undeniably linked to his ruthless nature.

"No... I didn't kill him!"

Ruan Erjie was stunned at first, then her face turned pale, and she immediately stammered in denial, her voice trembling, sounding guilty.

Ruan Erjie wasn't truly fearless; she feared one person... her father, Ruan Wenzhong. Apart from him, no one in the Ruan Family dared to bully her.

But precisely because of her fear of Ruan Wenzhong, she was incredibly slow to respond this time. She couldn't recall how she had any contact with Li Yaonan.

"Could it be diabetes?"

Ruan Erjie seemed to think of a disease name and began to mutter internally. Her combat power was exceptionally strong, but Li Yaonan was a guy hollowed out by wine and women; it wasn't surprising he couldn't handle her strong desires.

It was just unexpected that, before she knew what had happened, she had a connection with Li Yaonan, yet he unfortunately ended up dead...

But no matter the reason, she was very clear on one thing: Li Yaonan had great significance to the Ruan Family. Coming here for a blind date was to push her troublesome sister Ruan Yingxiu out.

Afraid her jealousy would ruin things, she didn't even attend the banquet, fearing she couldn't resist seducing Li Yaonan...

And now, she didn't know when she had reached this point with Li Yaonan, only that his health seemed too fragile, and he simply died because of her...

Originally, a death or two wasn't a big problem, but if the person who died was Li Yaonan, then it became a huge issue. Didn't Ruan Wenzhong come personally?

Looking at his most cherished and spoiled daughter, although not much to look at, she understood him best, which was why he doted on her so much.

But unexpectedly, everything went wrong because of this daughter, actually causing Li Yaonan's death...

Thinking that his plan had barely started and was now completely wrecked due to Li Yaonan's death, Ruan Wenzhong was filled with hatred!

Pow~~

A slap was viciously swung, nearly sending the plump Ruan Erjie flying, leaving her completely bewildered, her face full of intense shock.

Ruan Erjie feared Ruan Wenzhong, but in all these years, he had never laid a hand on her; this time he struck her so heavily, how could she not be shocked?

"Father, I... I really wasn't the one who wanted to kill him!"

Ruan Erjie appeared incredibly pitiful, whispering in a low, pitiful, and resentful voice.

"Father, I think Erjie is right, the murderer might not be her, but someone else..."

At this moment, Ruan Youlin took the opportunity to take a small walk in the courtyard, dragged the unconscious Ba Song out of a corner, then saw little sister Ruan Yingxiu lying in Qin Fang's room, prompting the question.

When he left earlier, only Li Yaonan, Ba Song, and the drugged Ruan Yingxiu were there, just those three people.

While it was hard to say for others, Ruan Youlin was very familiar with Erjie's character; they were close since they were born of the same mother.

His Erjie, although dominating and arrogant, would never do something like murder, let alone knock out a master like Ba Song.

"The facts are clear, who else could it be if not her?"

Ruan Wenzhong was furious; all his efforts were wasted, and because of Li Yaonan's death, the Li Family in the south wouldn't let it go easily.

Had it been merely the Li Family, Ruan Wenzhong wouldn't have feared them, but the problem was with Li Yaonan's death, his territory in the Golden Triangle would soon be divided by others.

These territories were not just controlled by Li Yaonan; they were supported by powerful interest groups, all having invested significant manpower, resources, and finances.

If such territories were divided by other warlords, these interest groups wouldn't even cry... as for the Ruan Family, who started it all, there wouldn't be much politeness.

Of course, that was for later. Now, Ruan Wenzhong wanted to investigate who exactly killed Li Yaonan. He himself doubted this daughter had such capabilities.

"This..."

With Ruan Wenzhong's remark, Ruan Youlin was also stunned, stammering, finding it hard to identify who was suspicious.

"Could it be him?"

When mentioning another murderer, Ruan Youlin immediately thought of Qin Fang, as in Luo City right now, the known people who could kill Li Yaonan were really few, and Qin Fang happened to be one of them.

Ba Song was Li Yaonan's bodyguard, with formidable cultivation, of a level that Ruan Youlin was not worthy even to tie his shoes...

But even such a master still fell at the hands of Qin Fang.

Look at poor Ba Song now, knocked unconscious by someone, which means the assassin on this trip is even more formidable than Ba Song...

Whether Luo City still has such experts, Ruan Youlin isn't very sure, but at least he knows there's one person who definitely has this ability, and that's Qin Fang.

"Who?"

Seeing Ruan Youlin's expression and tone, Ruan Wenzhong couldn't help but ask.

"It's the guard that my younger sister brought back, this person's strength is extremely strong, much more formidable than Li Yaonan's bodyguard..."

Ruan Youlin immediately said without hesitation.

This was his analysis of several suspicious points about Qin Fang, but it was also evident that this boy was sneaking in some personal agenda, clearly intending to use Ruan Wenzhong's hand to get rid of Qin Fang.

"It's him..."

Ruan Wenzhong had some impression of Qin Fang; in fact, he had even sent people to investigate him, but the information they returned was too limited, so he hadn't paid much attention.

"Go investigate, and make sure you give me results as soon as possible!"

Ruan Wenzhong's expression was also quite unpleasant, but with the situation as it was, it was up to him to see if he could turn the tide...

"Yes..."

Ruan Youlin naturally accepted this task without hesitation.

"And about my younger sister..."

Having received the task, Ruan Youlin was just about to leave when he couldn't help but pause, hesitating as he inquired. His people had already found the drugged Ruan Yingxiu from Qin Fang's room.

"Throw her into the water prison..."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Wenzhong's already displeased brow furrowed even tighter, and the anger on his face slowly rose. He looked at the gradually cooling corpse of Li Yaonan on the ground and spoke in a very harsh tone.

That tone was extremely cold and ruthless, exuding a chilling and bloody aura!

"Yes..."

Upon hearing these words, Ruan Youlin immediately saluted, his mouth and eyes full of a bright smile... It was clear he had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Having received Ruan Wenzhong's permission, Ruan Youlin wasted no time and immediately led a squad of gendarmes back, intending to catch Qin Fang in the act.

But to his surprise, Qin Fang hadn't left at all, which only heightened the questions in his mind.

"Young master, who are we to arrest?"

The adjutant following Ruan Youlin noticed him hesitating there and couldn't help but ask. This squad directly reported to Ruan Wenzhong himself, and although Ruan Youlin was leading it, he still needed the adjutant's approval to give orders.

Therefore, it was only natural for the adjutant to inquire of Ruan Youlin.

They were there to arrest someone, but with so many people in the banquet hall, they didn't know who to seize. They had to wait for Ruan Youlin to point out the target before they could take action.

"Wait a moment..."

However, Ruan Youlin hadn't become so foolish as to act rashly, simply gesturing with his hand to indicate.

The main issue was that the banquet hall was full of prominent people from Luo City or members of wealthy families. Although they couldn't compare to the Ruan Family, it would be unwise to offend so many people at once, as that would create a massive vulnerability in the Ruan Family's stronghold...

As Ruan Youlin pondered whether to take action, Qin Fang, sitting as if unconcerned, couldn't help but frown.

This time, the soldiers Ruan Youlin brought were clearly stronger than those government troops Qin Fang had previously killed—definitely not just riffraff, and they seemed quite capable.

"Tsk tsk, it seems Ruan Wenzhong is more troublesome than I imagined!"

Qin Fang wasn't particularly afraid of these soldiers, but Ruan Wenzhong's decisions left him feeling rather annoyed and helpless.

Originally, he just wanted to stay behind to study sorcery thoroughly, but now, life was clearly not going to be that peaceful...

After all, Ruan Wenzhong was willing to spare no expense to strike a deal with Li Yaonan. The opportunity to make a deal with this warlord wasn't unique to his family; if he didn't go all out, it would be hard to secure such an opportunity.

But unexpectedly, just as things were looking promising, with Li Yaonan softening his stance and Ruan Youlin having completed his mission, the situation changed within just a few minutes. The financier-like Li Yaonan was assassinated on the Ruan Family's turf, something nobody would be pleased about!

Moreover, given that Ruan Wenzhong's mind wasn't all that broad and his vengeful nature was extremely intense, being an Anlang warlord...(To be continued.
