Although Ruan Youlin had already desperately called for help, and Ruan Wenzhong had notified people for rescue as quickly as possible, it was ultimately far too late.

When Ruan Youlin used all his strength to shout that sentence, the gleam in his eyes gradually faded away, until it completely disappeared.

Ruan Youlin died...

Right in front of Ruan Wenzhong, he who had just been chatting with him a moment ago vanished in an instant, without even a chance for rescue, completely silent.

"Who? Who did it? I want to kill you... I'll kill your entire family!"

Ruan Wenzhong only had this one son, though he didn't spoil him like he did with Ruan Erjie, he always cared and protected him very much.

Since Ruan Youlin was destined to be his heir, he demanded more from him, thus Ruan Youlin had gained such remarkable skills.

But unexpectedly, he still couldn't protect this last son, watching him die right in front of him while he, as a father, couldn't do anything.

Roaring, furious roaring...

Almost the whole Ruan family seemed to hear Ruan Wenzhong's angry roars, causing many soldiers to grip their guns tightly.

Those familiar with Ruan Wenzhong know that once he reaches this level of rage, someone is bound to be unlucky, very unlucky...

...

"Calculate the time, it should be about right!"

However, as the initiator, Qin Fang didn't seem worried at all. At this moment, he was leisurely sitting and eating at a restaurant not far from the Ruan family.

Actually, Qin Fang had been following Ruan Youlin ever since he left the Thai Hotel, concerned that Ruan Youlin might ignore his words and die before meeting Ruan Wenzhong, forcing Qin Fang to think of another plan.

Luckily, Ruan Youlin was indeed frightened by him, almost immediately rushing back to the Ruan family. Time calculation suggests that Ruan Youlin died in front of Ruan Wenzhong, or at least within the Ruan family...

This achieved Qin Fang's goal of provoking Ruan Wenzhong!

Ruan Wenzhong is an extremely cautious person, evident from his arrangements. If not absolutely necessary, he would never take risks alone.

If Qin Fang wants to kill Ruan Wenzhong, he must provoke him severely, preferably to the point of extreme anger, making him prone to outbreaks and thus more likely to make mistakes.

Now the goal seems to be achieved, Qin Fang expected there would be activity soon...

Indeed...

Almost as soon as Qin Fang thought of this, he noticed movement on the Ruan family side. Troops of soldiers, fully armed, swiftly arrived from all directions of Luo City, stationed around the Ruan family, encircling it tightly.

Those in the know, like Qin Fang, understood this was Ruan Wenzhong urgently sending forces to ensure his safety.

Those unaware thought someone under Ruan Wenzhong was using military power to stage a coup.

Of course, in this world, there are always more people unaware than those aware. At least in the place Qin Fang was eating, many people saw this scene, stunned, not knowing what had happened, focusing their attention on the Ruan family.

Other than that, the Ruan family's side seemed to have no other actions, appearing extraordinarily tranquil, with no sound of gunfire.

If not for the many soldiers outside the Ruan family gate, everything was essentially unchanged from before.

"Tsk tsk, slowly guard then, I'm not in a hurry..."

Looking at the fully armed soldiers outside the Ruan family gate, Qin Fang didn't care much, merely smirked and continued to eat, unbothered.

Ruan Youlin is dead, regardless of whether the message Qin Fang wanted him to deliver reached Ruan Wenzhong, Ruan Wenzhong surely knows Qin Fang is targeting both father and son.

If it's merely talk, Ruan Wenzhong wouldn't be afraid, but the problem is Qin Fang took out Ruan Youlin right in front of him, which was bizarre, making it hard for Ruan Wenzhong to ignore.

Such a reaction is understandable...

Seeing the scene he wanted to see, Qin Fang had no reason to stay longer. The Ruan family was heavily guarded, not even a fly could get in.

Qin Fang's Stealth Skill is mystical, but not guaranteed to be unnoticed when infiltrating, as the soldiers' vigilance was high, potentially noticing any slight disturbance.

Thus Qin Fang naturally wouldn't send himself to danger, simply finishing the meal without lingering, returning to Ruan Yingxiu's place.

"My brother is dead?"

When Ruan Yingxiu heard this news, she was extremely surprised and showed immense shock; it was clearly something she had never expected beforehand.

Ruan Youlin had no feelings for her either, and the two of them even wished they could destroy each other to feel at ease. Ruan Yingxiu wouldn't feel any lament over his death.

She already had considerable understanding of Qin Fang's abilities from before. The first time they clashed with Ruan Youlin, Qin Fang could already toy with him easily, so it was no surprise he killed Ruan Youlin now.

But the problem was the timing Qin Fang chose...

Just before, the drug lord Li Yaonan from the Golden Triangle had mysteriously died at the Ruan Family's place, and now the Ruan Family's only Young Master, Ruan Youlin, also mystifyingly died in front of Ruan Wenzhong.

This seemed all too much like an act of malicious revenge...

Knowing Ruan Wenzhong wouldn't let this go easily, it's likely that by now there's already chaos outside.

"Citywide lockdown? House-to-house search?"

Originally, Qin Fang was skeptical, but a simple investigation revealed that Ruan Wenzhong, on one hand, was protecting himself, and on the other, was deploying a large number of military police to sweep through Luo City.

The purpose of which was naturally to find the murderer of Ruan Youlin...

However, Ruan Wenzhong's information was limited, and he suspected that the one who acted might be Li Yaonan's bodyguard, Ba Song.

Ba Song's disappearance timing was too coincidental; not long after Li Yaonan's death, Ba Song vanished without a trace.

As to whether he was lying in wait in Luo City for a chance of revenge or had already gone far away, perhaps regained his freedom, or was seeking aid for vengeance... that remains unknown!

However, these searches had no real meaning, and although they caught some lawbreakers who violated Ruan Wenzhong's so-called "laws," they didn't find anyone capable of assassinating Ruan Youlin.

Even when they searched the place where Qin Fang and his group were hiding, at that time, Ruan Yingxiu appeared as an extremely unattractive woman, so those soldiers had no desire to even look at her and quickly left.

As for Qin Fang, he never showed his face; how could these low-ranking soldiers possibly discover his whereabouts?

"Do you really have to do this?"

Looking at Qin Fang in front of her, Ruan Yingxiu felt that everything was happening too suddenly, almost unrealistically.

Ruan Yingxiu seemed hesitant, as this power-grabbing method was a bit too bloody, even though she had long lost any goodwill towards Ruan Wenzhong and his son.

"We've reached this point, do you think I have any reason to retreat?"

Qin Fang waved it off, indicating that since the entire Luo City was on lockdown with no entries or exits allowed, even if he wanted to give up, he'd be temporarily trapped here.

He was highly skilled, yes, but still a mortal, not impervious to countless storms of bullets. Perhaps the Puppet wouldn't fear those bullets, but with Ruan Wenzhong commanding tens of thousands of troops, Qin Fang alone couldn't possibly resist.

Rather than being trapped here, it would be easier to just take down Ruan Wenzhong directly...

The two were talking on the third day after finishing off the likes of Ruan Youlin, during which time Luo City was under extreme tension, reminiscent of the white terror of the past.

The Ruan Family's actions were also significant, as the news of Ruan Youlin's death from a sudden illness had already spread...

In those three days, Ruan Wenzhong had prepared the funeral for Ruan Youlin, and today was the day of the official burial. Ruan Yingxiu mentioned this to Qin Fang because he intended to reap Ruan Wenzhong's life.

"You don't understand him; he's not that easy to deal with..."

Ruan Yingxiu's concern wasn't entirely misplaced; she had followed Ruan Wenzhong for many years and naturally understood him better than Qin Fang did, so today might be the best opportunity to strike.

But likewise, it was also the best chance for Ruan Wenzhong to deal with the murderer of his son...

It could be said it was a game of fishing, where both could be the fisherman or the fish.

Ultimately, who wins or loses will depend on who has better luck and stronger abilities!

"Don't worry, since I dare to do this, I'm fully confident..."

Compared to Ruan Yingxiu's worry, Qin Fang seemed quite detached, casually stating as if ending Ruan Wenzhong was just a matter of lifting a finger...

"Be careful in everything. If it doesn't work out, then just give up..."

Though being in power as a Queen was very tempting, Ruan Yingxiu was not led astray by such desires yet. She had lost her family and Qin Fang was her only support; if something happened to him, she truly wouldn't know what to do in the future...

Therefore, at this moment, she sincerely conveyed her thoughts to Qin Fang. (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to recommend it and vote for monthly votes on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my biggest motivation.)
