...

Qin Fang disappeared at the fastest speed, as if he had never appeared at all.

Ruan Youlin stuck his head out the window to take a look, but couldn't see even half a ghost shadow. If it weren't for the faint pain lingering on his neck reminding him that everything just now was real, he would have thought he was hallucinating.

"Who on earth is he?"

Looking at the vast night, Ruan Youlin's mind cleared significantly, and such a question inevitably arose in his mind.

Just a moment ago, in that haziness, he seemed to have felt that the person who launched the sneak attack on him was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere...

But when he tried to recall carefully, he couldn't remember anything, which seemed quite strange.

"No, I must tell my father about this..."

Thinking it over, Ruan Youlin felt that this matter couldn't be treated as if nothing had happened and must be told to his father, Ruan Wenzhong.

From Qin Fang's words just now, he already understood that this was aimed at the Ruan father and son duo, and judging from the previous scene, it seemed inevitable that they intended to kill them.

The reason he wasn't immediately attacked was probably that he posed no real threat, and that's why he was allowed to deliver the message to Ruan Wenzhong.

"Could it be Li Yaonan's bodyguard?"

Several suspects surfaced faintly in his mind, mostly enemies of the Ruan Family, but there was one person he couldn't ignore.

Li Yaonan died on Ruan Family's territory, or perhaps because of Ruan Yingxiu, and after bodyguard Ba Song woke up, he mysteriously disappeared.

Ruan Wenzhong had also dispatched quite a few people to look for him, but to no avail. If Ba Song believed Li Yaonan's death was the doing of the Ruan father and son, then he would surely seek revenge on them.

Recalling the strength of that expert just now, who could completely restrain him with one hand, among the experts Ruan Youlin had encountered, it seemed besides Qin Fang, only Ba Song could do so.

But Qin Fang had already been thrown into the water prison by him, and by now, even if he hadn't drowned, he would probably be starving, so there's no way he could come out to seek revenge.

Ruling out this possibility, Ba Song seemed to be the most suspicious.

Moreover, Li Yaonan's identity was quite special, representing the interests of many people. To die mysteriously like that, someone would surely investigate it, and sending someone to retaliate would be a reasonable action.

Initially, Ruan Youlin thought these matters were handled by his father, Ruan Wenzhong, and didn't have much to do with him. But now it seemed that might not be the case...

The more Ruan Youlin pondered over it, the more cold sweat dripped down his back, losing the mood to continue having fun. He promptly left the restroom to quickly return to the Ruan Family, which was the safest place.

"Young Master Ruan, why did it take you so long? All the brothers are waiting for you..."

Just after leaving the restroom, a guy came over dragging his pants, with a satisfied smile on his face, teasing nonchalantly.

"Get lost..."

Normally, Ruan Youlin would have responded with the same joke, but this time was different, almost directly cursing.

If the guy hadn't gotten out of his way, he might have slapped him outright.

This was just one person targeting him, and if Li Yaonan's people gradually came, who knew how dangerous it would be for him outside.

Ruan Youlin even vaguely felt that being invited here by his few promiscuous friends to have fun today was a deliberately designed trap.

Otherwise, how could he have been caught like that by someone so coincidentally?

The entire hotel had already been cleared out, and his personal guard was outside for protection, unless this person had been lurking in the hotel for a long time... Then everything seemed to be easily explained.

The more he thought this way, the more disgusted and uncomfortable Ruan Youlin felt towards the little brothers in front of him, with a hint of hostility.

If he didn't lack evidence and these friends' Families didn't have some influence, he would have already pulled out a gun to shoot this guy.

"Young Master Ruan..."

The little brother, cursed in confusion, didn't know what had happened and wanted to inquire, puzzled.

Unfortunately, Ruan Youlin wasn't going to give him that chance. He now felt increasingly unsafe outside and couldn't stay here a moment longer. He quickly left the hotel, and under his personal guard's escort, swiftly returned to the heavily guarded Ruan Family.

Not realizing it when he wasn't back, upon returning, Ruan Youlin felt the atmosphere in the Ruan Family wasn't harmonious at all, exuding a faint oppressive and murderous aura, as if a storm was brewing.

"Could the enemy have already arrived at the door?"

Such a thought popped into Ruan Youlin's mind as he hurried towards Ruan Wenzhong's office...

"Father..."

On an ordinary day, when Ruan Youlin entered Ruan Wenzhong's office, he would usually announce his arrival in advance. But this time, he could scarcely wait and nearly barged in directly.

However...

He seemed to have come at the wrong time!

As soon as he stepped in, he saw a young woman sprawled across Ruan Wenzhong's desk, her hair in disarray, and Ruan Wenzhong was bent over her, moving vigorously.

Despite Ruan Wenzhong being well into his fifties, he was still quite energetic when it came to physical activities, seemingly showing no signs of being past his prime.

That wasn't the critical issue. Considering Ruan Wenzhong's power, having women was certainly not difficult for him, but when Ruan Youlin scrutinized the woman's face, he was startled to find it was his wife in name, Ruan Wenzhong's daughter-in-law...

Witnessing such a scene, Ruan Youlin's expression turned slightly sour. Yet, his face was initially extraordinary; it quickly resumed its calmness as he pretended to have seen nothing.

"Father, I have something important to say..."

He expressed with utmost respect and courtesy, not even bothering to glance at the disheveled woman, much less showing any sign of anger.

"You can leave now..."

Initially, Ruan Wenzhong felt a hint of awkwardness, but upon seeing his son Ruan Youlin's demeanor, his mood improved considerably. He waved his hand to dismiss the woman.

The woman left in a flustered and embarrassed manner, hurriedly, without properly tidying her clothes, exposing half of her fair behind...

Yet, the two men in front of this scene didn't seem very interested in it.

"What is it..."

With the troublesome woman gone, Ruan Wenzhong restored his previous authoritative manner, calmly asking.

Ruan Youlin, as his son, naturally understood the rules; he wouldn't have barged into his office unless it was extremely important...

"Someone wants to kill us!"

Ruan Youlin eagerly blurted out. As he spoke, he couldn't help recalling the previous danger, which still left him with lingering fear.

"Hmm?"

Ruan Wenzhong looked puzzled, "What's there to fear? There are at least eight hundred to a thousand people who want me dead, yet I'm still alive and well..."

As the greatest warlord in Northern Anlang, occupying vast territories, he had countless rivals and enemies.

Yet Ruan Wenzhong remained alive and well, while those who wished to kill him were all sent to hell to meet King Yama by him!

"No... this time it's an expert. I almost didn't make it back just now!"

Ruan Youlin immediately clarified, realizing Wenzhong misunderstood his point. He recounted the recent events in detail to Ruan Wenzhong.

However, he naturally avoided mentioning his peculiar preferences, purposefully concealing it.

Still, the message Qin Fang asked him to convey to Ruan Wenzhong was delivered word for word, even mimicking the intonation vividly.

"Humph, let's see who dares..."

Listening to Ruan Youlin's encounter and the message from Qin Fang, Ruan Wenzhong erupted in fury. In Northern Anlang, he was the absolute ruler, and no one dared to defy him.

Consequently, anyone who dared to make any unfavorable move against him would be met with tenfold, a hundredfold retaliation.

Ruan Wenzhong had ruled Northern Anlang for quite some time, naturally possessing significant imposing momentum. With a furrowed brow, a surge of imposing majesty emanated from him.

"This was his original words! And he also said..."

Ruan Youlin, noticing the smile emerging on his father's face from his message, felt slightly pleased and thought of embellishing it further with more unpleasant words.

But just as he opened his mouth, he suddenly felt a sharp, excruciating sensation in his heart, as if it had been stabbed with a knife, causing him unbearable pain nearly instantaneously.

"Ah..."

Not only that, the pain was just beginning. It quickly spread, radiating from his heart to his liver, lungs, stomach...

In short, Ruan Youlin felt as if his entire chest was being consumed by fire, making him appear extremely unwell.

"Youlin... what's happening to you?"

Ruan Wenzhong, equally puzzled, watched Ruan Youlin's gradually twisted expression, bewildered by what was happening.

"Help... help me..."

At this point, Ruan Youlin seemed to struggle even to breathe, clutching his throat desperately, his face turning a shade of blue-purple. The phrase was squeezed out from his throat, and his eyes brimmed with endless fear and resentment...(To be continued.
