Chapter 64: Finding the Woman of That Night

 Chapter 64: Finding the Woman of That Night

Hou Yirong said, "Punishment Hall."

Hou Yunjiao tapped his index finger lightly on the chair, again and again, with a slow and rhythmic movement.

The man appeared gentle and refined, but in reality, he had a natural viciousness in his bones. His dark pupils flickered with a devouring vortex, which could make people fall into it at first glance.

His voice was slow and gentle: "Send Miss Su back to the Su family and tell them that if they still want to have a place in the capital. Find the woman from that night at the Royal Palace Hotel within a day."

Upon hearing this, Hou Yirong couldn't help but swear.

His curse earned him a stern warning from his grandfather, Old Master Hou.

Hou Junxin also changed his expression because of his younger brother's words. He thought that his younger brother returned to the country to completely defeat the Su family by learning about their plot at the Royal Palace Hotel. He thought that his younger brother would sound the alarm to other restless families.

He didn't expect that Hou Yunjiao would be so nonchalant about the Su family's plot in order to find the woman they were looking for that night.

It was only Old Master Hou and Hou Hongxing who exchanged a slight smile of satisfaction in their eyes when they looked at each other.

Hou Junxin gave his grandfather and uncle a meaningful look and his face changed. He understood what was happening.

However, Hou Yirong was not willing to let it go. "Younger brother, are you really going to let the Su family go like this? They dared to plot against the Hou family, and in the future, they may do even more outrageous things. I think they want to step on the heads of the four major families and defecate and urinate on them!"

Old Master Hou rebuked him sternly, "After so many years of education, you speak like this?!"

Hou Yirong's face looked sullen, and he did not dare to speak again.

Hou Yunjiao looked sideways at his second brother, with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Second brother, the election is coming next year."

"Hmm?" Hou Yirong furrowed his brows, as if he still didn't understand.

Hou Junxin reminded him, "If the Su family strikes at the Hou family at this time, they must have some support behind them. The Hou family has been low-key in recent years, but there have been many small actions behind the scenes. The Su family is just a pawn being sacrificed openly."

"So, are we trying to lure out the snake?" Hou Yirong's expression became solemn.

Hou Yunjiao's eyebrows were slightly raised, his delicate and handsome face suddenly showing a hint of arrogance. However, this did not clash with his gentle and refined appearance. 

"There won't be anyone else behind the Su family except for those two. Let's not rush into things. Find the woman from the night at the Imperial Palace Hotel as soon as possible," he said openly in front of his family, showing interest in the woman from that night.

At this point, Hou Hongxing spoke up, "What if the woman is bought by the Su family or arranged by some other power?"

"Let's see the person first," Hou Yunjiao replied with a calm and unhurried tone, regardless of who the woman belonged to, he wanted to know her identity first.

...

At six o'clock in the evening, Qin Ruanyuan finished her leave, went back to her dormitory to pack up her things, and came to the school gate with her backpack, waiting for Ling Xiaoxuan to pick her up.

However, as soon as she walked out of the gate of Shengshi Academy, trouble found her again. It was Hou Xiangli, who had caused her trouble in the cafeteria at noon.

This time, she brought more than ten men with her, all of whom looked like they were from the underworld.

Hou Xiangli stared at Qin Ruan bulging backpack, thinking that she knew she had caused trouble and was ready to run away.

She spoke sarcastically, with a contemptuous smile, "Qin Ruan, are you trying to run away?"

Qin Ruan's eyes were cold and unmasked with contempt. Seeing people coming and going around her, she showed some helplessness on her face.

"What do you want?" Her voice was tired. She didn't want trouble, but it always seemed to find her.

No matter in this life or the past, her body seemed to be a magnet for trouble.
