 Chapter 326: Generally speaking, I don't lie.

Minmin's face was pale and emotionless. She stared straight at Lu Han with a gloomy gaze and asked, "When will those people die?" Qin Ruan conveyed Minmin's words to Lu Han. Lu Han pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "When this battle is over." Minmin coldly asked, "When will it end?" Qin Ruan relayed the question, but Lu Han shook his head lightly and remained silent. Minmin was uncertain, but Qin Ruan had some understanding of the situation. She leaned against the interrogation table and pressed her forehead with her hand. "Minmin, the Southern Alliance has a large market for drugs, which has become increasingly rampant for certain forces within the Southern Alliance. Due to the support of local nobles, they are fearless. Moreover, Southern Alliance's unique geographical position plays a significant role. Surrounding major powers view it as a vital transportation route for their interests. This is a protracted battle with many factors to consider. It won't be a campaign that ends in a short time." Minmin's dark pupils were chilling. "So, my brother died in vain?" Qin Ruan smiled and conveyed her words to Lu Han. Lu Han's expression turned solemn, and his voice was firm. "No sacrificed individual will be forgotten. They are the guardians of the people, and they are heroes." Seeing Minmin's soul gradually becoming transparent, Qin Ruan said in a deep voice, "Minmin, you're running out of time. I need to send you away first." "I still don't know if Ajin is alive or dead!" Minmin's attitude was resolute, and she was unwilling to leave at this point. "Knock, knock." Someone knocked on the door of the interrogation room from outside. "Boss!" Lu Han's subordinates' voices came from outside the door. Lu Han opened the door and walked out with large strides. Not long after, he entered the interrogation room with a solemn and heavy expression. Qin Ruan could tell from his face that he didn't bring good news. Minmin floated in front of Lu Han anxiously and asked, "How is Ajin?" Lu Han couldn't hear her words. He frowned and stared at Qin Ruan. Qin Ruan helped Min Min ask, "How is he?" Lu Han's voice was hoarse. "He's dead." Minmin exclaimed, "That's impossible!" Qin Ruan, who had already anticipated it, remained calm. "How did he die?" Lu Han replied, "He suffered an arterial injury and died in the Black Clinic without proper advanced medical equipment." "Impossible! I don't believe it!" Minmin went almost crazy upon hearing this news, and a thick and eerie aura emanated from her. Qin Ruan's face showed regret as she stood upright and walked towards Minmin. "The news has arrived, Minmin has no reason to stay." "No! Ajin can't be dead! How could he die? It's impossible, I don't believe it!" Minmin couldn't accept this reality at all. Qin Ruan didn't listen to her objections at all; she approached Minmin step by step. Seeing Minmin attempting to escape, Qin Ruan muttered something under her breath, her voice solemn and majestic: "The Ten Yama Kings command me to slay ghosts, and with my divine methods, I shall exterminate and none shall defy, no ghost shall dare challenge. The Ten Yama Kings' orders are swift and resolute, to vanquish evil!" The interrogation room grew cold as dark mist rapidly gathered, and a messenger from the underworld appeared. The two messengers, accompanied by their distinct background music, slowly approached with the familiar rhythm of the dragging soul chains. The messengers respectfully greeted Qin Ruan, "Greetings, Miss Qin." Minmin also noticed the messengers and was overwhelmed by the pressure emanating from them. Qin Ruan pointed at Minmin and said to the two messengers, "Her soul is unstable, take her away." "Yes—" The two messengers held the soul chains and floated toward Minmin. Minmin didn't want to leave and immediately began to flee as the messengers approached. "No! I don't want to go! Ajin..." Qin Ruan frowned and interrupted her, "After descending to the underworld, you will naturally see him!" "Really?" Minmin no longer evaded the approaching messengers. The two messengers bound her with the soul chains, their actions devoid of any tenderness, treating her as if she were a chick in their hands. Qin Ruan earnestly said to Minmin, "I won't deceive you." She looked at the two messengers, her tone distant and polite, "This girl's life was pitiable. I wonder if there's any possibility for her to meet someone from her past?" The messenger who wasn't holding the soul chains examined the book of life and death. After a moment, he respectfully said to Qin Ruan, "Miss Qin, the underworld indeed has a ghost familiar to this girl, and that person is waiting for her." "Oh?" Qin Ruan was somewhat surprised. The messenger closed the book of life and death. "The male ghost and this girl have a deep karmic connection. Their situation is quite special." Qin Ruan was curious. "What kind of connection?" The messenger's tone grew cold. "Lifetime after lifetime, they miss each other and never have a peaceful end." Qin Ruan furrowed her brows. "Why is that?" The messenger replied, "It's the retribution of cause and effect. This goes back hundreds of years, but this is their final lifetime tormenting each other." Qin Ruan didn't want to know any further; it was simply about repaying some sins. Everyone carries their own karmic consequences, with varying lengths and degrees of severity. "Since it is torment that lasts for generations, it is certain that Minmin and the man called Ajin had heavy karmic obstacles hundreds of years ago. Qin Ruan nodded, "Trouble the two envoys to escort her away." "What about the other two over there?" The envoy pointed to Han Xian and Han Kexin in the corner. Qin Ruan didn't hesitate at all, "Take them away together." Han Xian supported her daughter and stared at Qin Ruan with a heavy gaze, "Who are you exactly?" Everything that is happening now makes Han Xian both fearful and afraid of Qin Ruan. She never knew that Qin Ruan had such incredible abilities. She could even summon the underworld's Yin officials. It made her feel that everything she had done to Qin Ruan in the past was as ridiculous as a clown's antics. Qin Ruan had almost surpassed ordinary humans in terms of life and death. Her abilities inspired both respect and fear. How could she care about the trivial matters of the past? Fear lurked in Han Xian's heart. She felt that the Qin Ruan who had returned to the Qin family just a year ago was not the same person as the current Qin Ruan. Qin Ruan looked over upon hearing their voices and glanced lightly at Han Xian and Han Kexin. "I have never lied to you. I crawled out of hell." Han Xian: "That's impossible!" Han Kexin: "You're lying!" "Generally, I don't lie." Qin Ruan crossed her arms and stared coldly at the mother and daughter. Her tone was indifferent and calm, "Whether you believe it or not is up to you. The entanglement between the two of you and me in this lifetime can be resolved at this moment. In the previous life, I didn't personally kill you, which shook me for a lifetime. Knowing that you suffered various torments afterwards, although my hatred has faded, it still exists. In this lifetime, seeing you both being killed, my resentment towards you ceases from this moment on. I only hope that in the future, there will be no more entanglements between us in the generations to come." "What past lives and present lives? What are you talking about?" Han Kexin felt that everything was incredibly absurd. She glared at Qin Ruan with resentment, "It's all because of your existence that I ended up like this. You shouldn't exist. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't die! Why don't you go and die? Why don't you die!" Han Kexin was unwilling. Everything that Qin Ruan possessed made her eyes burn. Why, why couldn't she win against Qin Ruan even once? (End of this chapter)
