The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned - Chapter 252

Chapter 252: Huo Xuan Realizes

“Yes,” Min Rufeng replied simply.

He led Xi Fengling to the private room.

Min Sisi tightened her grip on the strap of her bag. Her head was lowered and she was wearing glasses. No one could see the emotions in her eyes.

She was unhappy, but not angry.

Min Sisi could hide for so many years. It was obvious that she was an extremely rational person.

Other than being unhappy, she even thought more highly of Min Rufeng.

Yan Jinyu glanced at Min Sisi and casually threw the empty yogurt packet into the rubbish bin on the stairs.

This action made Luo Yikun’s eyes flash.

The rubbish bin wasn’t far away, but if he wasn’t wrong, Yan Jinyu had thrown the packet in it accurately without even looking at it.

Luo Qiu’s eyes lit up.

If not for the fact that there were so many important people here and the atmosphere was a little serious, she would probably exclaim, “So suave.”

She didn’t know if it was because Yan Jinyu’s actions earlier were very suave, but now that she saw Yan Jinyu’s back view with one hand in her pocket and the other playing with her phone, she actually felt that she was very suave too.

A girl with long hair and a slender figure, who was beautiful and cute, was actually very difficult to associate with the word “suave”.

However, she felt that Yan Jinyu was very suave now.

Was it because she only saw her back and did not see her face?

What Luo Qiu didn’t know was that she had actually accidentally seen the truth.

Yan Jinyu’s front, especially her clean smile and her pure eyes, were extremely deceptive.

“Yo, what a huge group of people.”

Everyone looked over and saw Huo Xuan, who was leaning against the door of the private room with his arms crossed lazily. His smile was a little sinister.

The corridor wasn’t narrow, so although Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling were walking in front, Huo Xuan could still see Qin Hao, who was half a step behind them, and… Huo Siyu, who was held by Qin Hao.

Huo Xuan’s gaze landed on their hands.

To be honest, Huo Xuan had waited in the private room for half an hour.

He did not go downstairs because he tried his best to hold it in.

However, the fact that he didn’t go downstairs didn’t mean that his displeasure had disappeared.

On the contrary, not only did it not disappear, but it also became more and more intense.

“Young Master Qin is so influential. He actually needed everyone to personally go downstairs to pick him up.”

Qin Hao stopped in his tracks. There was a tense expression on his face and no one could tell what was wrong, but he “instinctively” held Huo Siyu’s hand tightly and Huo Siyu discovered that.

Was he nervous?

That was true. Qin Hao was honest. In order not to neglect his future brother-in-law, he even specially made time to accompany him.

Now that her brother was like this, Qin Hao must have thought that her brother was unhappy with him and was nervous.

“Brother, what are you talking about?”

“How could it be Qin Hao who asked everyone to pick him up? When we spoke on the phone previously, Qin Hao didn’t even let me go down to pick him up. I wanted to go by myself. I was the one who pulled Beauty Yu along. Sister Fengling and Brother Feng saw that we didn’t come up for a long time so they went down to call us.”

“As for the others, we met them downstairs and Beauty Yu invited them up.”

Huo Xuan expected better from her and glared at her angrily, “Huo Siyu, are you stupid?”

Huo Siyu was shocked, then descended into a daze.

Putting aside why her brother felt that she was stupid, this was the first time his brother had said “harsh words” to her.

He was clearly scolding her. She should be unhappy, but for some reason, she was actually very happy.

Could it be that she had masochistic tendencies?

“Brother, what are you saying? Why am I stupid?”

Seeing that she was completely bewitched by Qin Hao and wouldn’t come to her senses for a while, Huo Xuan could only leave her alone for the time being. He was prepared to find a chance to talk to her privately.

He glared at Qin Hao fiercely, but Qin Hao looked up at him. Then, Qin Hao’s lips curled up slightly.

Huo Xuan was even angrier.

How dare you, Qin Hao. A villain getting what he wanted!

He was so angry that he could not stop coughing.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

This time, he wasn’t pretending. He was really coughing.

Although he was coughing badly and his face was gradually turning pale, Huo Xuan didn’t look disheveled. He held his handkerchief to his lips and coughed. Instead, he looked like a sickly but well-born young master.

Huo Siyu panicked and quickly broke free from Qin Hao’s hand. She quickly walked towards Huo Xuan and anxiously patted his back. “Brother, how is it? Are you feeling better? Why are you coughing again?”

“Brother Feng, quickly come and take a look at my brother. He was fine just now…”

“Don’t be anxious. He’s normal. It’s just a cough. It won’t kill him.”

Huo Siyu stomped her feet anxiously. “Brother Feng!”

“Alright, Min Rufeng. Go and help Young Master Huo take a look. Look at how anxious Rainy is.”

Actually, even if Xi Fengling didn’t say anything, Min Rufeng wouldn’t ignore her either.

He let go of Xi Fengling and walked over. He raised his hand and was about to smack at the back of Huo Xuan’s neck. The vigilance he had developed all year round made Huo Xuan instinctively want to dodge. He only stopped when he saw his arm which Huo Siyu was grabbing.

He didn’t believe Min Rufeng but he believed Rainy.

Min Rufeng patted the back of Huo Xuan’s neck, and Huo Xuan’s coughing stopped just like that.

Even Huo Xuan, who rarely revealed his emotions in front of outsiders, looked at Min Rufeng with surprise.

He knew the situation better than anyone else.

And Min Rufeng’s smack, or rather, the silver needle in Min Rufeng’s hand pierced the back of his neck, made him instantly relaxed.

This was the first time in his 25 years that he felt that it was so effortless to breathe so lightly.

And Min Rufeng only relied on a silver needle!

Of course, other than him, the party concerned, and Min Rufeng, who had made the move, the others didn’t seem to see Min Rufeng use the silver needle. They only thought that Min Rufeng had just patted him.

Silver needles, superb medical skills… Other than the fact that his temper was strange, Min Rufeng was very similar to someone he had heard of.

The number three killer in the killer world who was known as the Heretic Doctor, “Wang”.

The reason why he knew this person so well was because he had specially investigated when he wished to live healthy for a period of time.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t find “Wang”. Furthermore, he had been demoralized too many times, so this matter was left unsettled.

However, how could Min Rufeng…

At this thought, Huo Xuan suddenly paused.

He looked at Huo Siyu, who was beside Min Rufeng, and then at Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling, who were not far away.

The four of them had an extremely deep relationship. Other than Xi Fengling, who suddenly appeared in the capital three years ago, the other three had been missing for many years.

Three years ago, Ghost Slaughter Island was destroyed. At the same time, the number one killer on Ghost Slaughter Island, “Chi”, had disappeared. The other top three killers had also disappeared.

Similarly, three years ago, Min Rufeng returned to the Min Family and Xi Fengling came to the capital.

How could it be such a coincidence?

He already had doubts about Yan Jinyu and Rainy, but he couldn’t find anything.

If that was really what he thought, it would have completely made sense.

However, if he wasn’t wrong, then which of the four of them was the number one killer, “Chi”?

Yan Jinyu and Rainy?

Not likely.

They were only 10 years old when “Chi” became famous. How could they become famous in one battle at that age?

It couldn’t be Min Rufeng either, because it was very likely that Min Rufeng was that Heretic Doctor, “Wang”.

Was it Xi Fengling then?

Looking at it this way, Xi Fengling was so charming and her aura was strong enough. She indeed seemed very possible.

However, Xi Fengling was only 15 or 16 years old then, right?

It was very rare for her to become famous after completing a mission that so many killers could not at such a young age.

It was said that the top five killers on the Assassin Ranking had all died on that mission.

Huo Xuan’s gaze wasn’t obvious, and with him covering his lips with a handkerchief, no one else noticed.

However, these people didn’t include Min Rufeng, who was standing in front of Huo Xuan and even helped him stop his cough.

Min Rufeng retracted his hand and narrowed his eyes. “It’s only a temporary relief. It won’t be of much use. After Young Master Huo takes a few doses of the medicine I prescribed, you might get better.”

“But I’ve said that I don’t have any way to treat your illness for the time being. It’s not a joke. Your cough will improve a little but you’ll still have a weak body. You still have to suffer what you need to suffer.”

Huo Xuan restrained his emotions, “No matter what, thank you.”

Huo Xuan’s emotions were only restrained and not revealed. However, his heart was actually in turmoil.

If it was really as he thought, didn’t that mean that all these years, Rainy…

He didn’t dare to think further.

He had also heard a little about Ghost Slaughter Island’s style of doing things.

That was not a place for people to stay.

Otherwise, they would not have forced the first killer to collude with the other top three killers and risk their lives to destroy it.

At this moment, he really hoped that he was overthinking.

Huo Xuan wasn’t the only one who was flustered.

Even Qin Hao stared at Min Rufeng for a while.

Luo Qiu couldn’t help but exclaim, “T-this is too awesome!”

She realized that she had overreacted and quickly covered her mouth.

Luo Yikun only glanced at Min Rufeng before retracting his gaze. Only Min Sisi was stunned on the spot.

Her shock was not unexpected and would not ruin her persona.

After all, she studied medicine. In the eyes of outsiders, she didn’t know that Min Rufeng’s medical skills were so high. It was normal for her to be shocked after seeing this scene.

“Second Brother, are you… that good at medicine?”

Min Rufeng turned to look at her. Min Sisi hurriedly said nervously, “No, I’m not questioning Second Brother’s medical skills. I’m just very shocked.”

“I heard that Second Brother’s medical skills are very good and you’ve received the recognition of many experts in the Imperial Capital Hospital. I’ve also heard about Young Master Huo’s situation. In the early years, Dad and Big Brother had seen Young Master Huo, but they were helpless. Second Brother, you…”

“You actually eased Young Master Huo’s symptoms so easily. You’re really amazing. How did you do it?”

As she spoke, she clasped her hands together and twisted them nervously. “Second Brother, you might not know this, but I major in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Seeing that you’ve shown such skills, I want to ask you for advice. If Second Brother doesn’t want to say it, just pretend that I didn’t ask.”

“It’s not that he doesn’t want to say it, but he can’t. If you learn the exclusive technique, how will Feng earn money to support his family?” Xi Fengling said.

Earn money to support his family?

Not to mention the money Xi Fengling earned from her own bars and other businesses, even if Min Rufeng was an unwanted illegitimate son, he wouldn’t lack money in the Min Family.

The main family wasn’t the only branch in the Min Family. Old Master Min had personally brought Min Rufeng back in the early years. If Min Guili overly slighted Min Rufeng, he would also be suppressed by the other branches.

At least, Min Rufeng wouldn’t be short of money.

Hence, Min Sisi didn’t believe Xi Fengling at all.

“Boss Xi, you must be joking.”
