Chapter Seventy-Nine: So It Was Because of His Wife!

Ye Rang’s mind was in a haze. Killing was his forte, but this situation left him utterly confused. Was the man holding the young lady the eldest son of the Huangpu family from City A? The lady was willingly cooperating, so between them… Should he report this?

Shangguan Ruo’ran’s hands tightly embraced his waist, her nose filled with the scent of the man, making her heart flutter. “Mr. Huangpu, could you please not be angry?” Her voice, soft as a mosquito’s whisper, drifted into Huangpu Shenqing’s ears. Looking at the girl buried in his arms, with only the back of her head visible, his heart softened. He placed his large hand over her silky curls. “Ruo’ran, if what happened last time happens again, I can’t guarantee what I’ll do.”

“I would be afraid, Ruo’ran.”
“I am especially scared something might happen to you, especially right in front of me.”
“I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself.”
“Sometimes, I really want to keep you by my side, always close.”

This girl was the one he had searched for sixteen years! The taste of losing and regaining her was something only he could truly understand. He had failed to protect her when they were young, and now he dared not look into what happened back then! He was terrified—afraid of the pain, the torment, or the harm she might have suffered. Once, he thought fate was cruelly unfair, but when he found her, he was grateful for destiny’s arrangement. She made him feel less alone. How could he ever endure losing her again?

Shangguan Ruo’ran understood his worries. She could only hold him tighter, letting him feel her presence.

Shuer remembered there were still people from Dark Night around. Shangguan Ruo’ran awkwardly poked her head out. Seeing Ye Rang, who was stunned, she felt embarrassed. “Ye Rang, you all can go back now! I’m safe. Remember, don’t speak a word about what happened to me.”

Shangguan Ruo’ran meant the matter between herself and Huangpu Shenqing.

Ye Rang composed himself and replied respectfully, “Yes, we’ll withdraw now. Please, Miss, always pay attention to your safety.”

He led the Dark Night members away, vanishing without a sound.

Huangpu Shenqing pinched her slender waist. “You mean, not to speak out? Hmm?”

Shangguan Ruo’ran hid in his arms, acting coy. “Just wait a little bit. When the time comes, I’ll introduce Mr. Huangpu openly and honorably.”

Her sweet, soft voice soothed his heart, making his mood ripple with joy. He lowered his head and nibbled at her ear. “How long do I have to wait?”

“Oh, not long!”

Nearby, Mo Jiu and Mo Shi quietly dealt with matters…

Master, just look at the scene now, will you? The world is going downhill!

Soon, the police arrived. Mo Jiu and Mo Shi went to the station and explained everything from beginning to end.

Upon receiving the news, Shangguan Xing immediately pressured the police station.

The police chief promptly reported to the mayor, who reported to the Prime Minister of Z Country. The Prime Minister issued orders to the diplomatic officials, instructing them to demand an explanation from the G Country royal family.

The Dark Night members only reported the attack on the young lady.

The butler, alarmed, quickly informed Ye Hai.

Ye Hai received the news and immediately called the Prime Minister of Y Country.

Y Country’s Prime Minister, Ye Yin, thirty years old, was once a member of Dark Night but had since left the organization. Yet for Ye Hai, he would not hesitate to act.

Understanding the circumstances, Y Country’s Prime Minister immediately sent the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to demand a proper explanation from the G Country royal family on behalf of the Ye family.

Huangpu Shenqing watched Shangguan Ruo’ran enter the hospital before taking out his phone to make a call.

G Country General’s Mansion

Lin Yan, seeing the caller ID as Huangpu Shenqing, answered at once, only to hear a cold voice, “Lin Yan, if you can’t handle the royal family’s affairs, I can do it for you.”

Not even calling him “big brother” anymore!

---

How had the royal family offended him to such an extent?
Looking at his phone, now disconnected, Lin Yan gave a helpless chuckle.

He summoned the guards and ordered a thorough investigation of the royal family’s recent border crossings.

By the next morning, he was faced with countless impeachment papers, petitions, and investigation orders.

He finally understood what was happening.

It was all because of his sister-in-law—and she was no ordinary person!

Diplomats from Y Country and G Country arrived, bringing impeachment papers. The G Country princess had committed a heinous crime: murder in broad daylight, and it was a cross-border shooting in Yue Country. The incident had caused severe negative consequences for other nations and tarnished G Country’s reputation. The royal family was required to give an explanation, the princess to issue a public apology, and to compensate all losses.

The Ye family and Night family of Y Country, Shangguan family, Ouyang family, and Xia family of Z Country jointly filed a petition, demanding that the princess, who had so ruthlessly disregarded others’ lives, be removed from the royal family.

Shangguan Ruo’ran felt deeply sorry for Ye Xin, so she stayed at the hospital to look after her.

She also had Aunt Zhang prepare some nourishing soups.

For now, she handed over her affairs to Hu Jun and Molina.

The two worked far more efficiently than others, and their conduct was rigorous and meticulous, leaving nothing to fault.

“Miss, I’ve eaten so much already,”

These days, Ye Xin had drunk dozens of soups, with Aunt Zhang continually inventing new recipes. She had only been shot in the arm, not crippled—this much nourishment was excessive! It made her uncomfortable. Previously, even with a bullet wound in her abdomen, she insisted on carrying out missions; now, she was becoming spoiled.

Shangguan Ruo’ran placed the soup on the small table by her bed, her voice stern. “That won’t do! You were shot, so while you’re recuperating, it’s best to nourish yourself well—it’s the wisest course.”

Ye Zuo, sitting nearby and reading the newspaper, glanced up with a smile in his eyes.

Unable to resist, Ye Xin said, “Alright then, I’ll have another bowl.”

She gritted her teeth and drank another bowl, feeling as if these nourishing soups were turning into poison, making her hesitate to take another sip.
