Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands - Chapter 670
Chapter 670: Shadow Soul
“How can such a thing happen?” Duan Jia Xu kicked open the door of Luo Qingling’s office and rushed inside the room.
“Jia Xu, calm down,” Xue Shen , always the pacifist chased after him and tried to calm down the mer but Duan Jia Xu was too far gone to worry about anything or anyone at the moment. He stormed over to where Luo Qingling was sitting and reached out to grab her collar. His actions were so swift and precise that even the bodyguards didn’t have time to react but when they tried to make a move, Luo Qingling raised her hand and stopped those three women.
She said to him, “This is something that logically should not have happened, given that I have sent a bunch of bodyguards to make sure that my sister will remain safe and sound.”
“Then how can this happen?” Duan Jia Xu demanded. With his eyes burning with rage, he shook Luo Qingling, “Stop making excuses and tell me the truth, how can Miss Huian be kidnapped from right under our noses? I thought that she was safe and you said that she was safe. Then how come she was kidnapped without you knowing?”
Duan Jia Xu didn’t understand—no, he didn’t want to understand. How could such a thing happen? How could Luo Huian be kidnapped from right under their noses? This was something that he had never expected. Much less even dreamt about, for Luo Huian had so many hidden bodyguards that it should have been impossible for anyone to kidnap her but somehow she was kidnapped.
The more he thought about it, the more enraged he felt. How could it be possible? How could Luo Huian get kidnapped?
If only he were with her, then there shouldn’t have been any trouble. curse him for going to the dungeons, why was he in such a hurry to level up when he knew that everyone was now watching Luo Huian’s every move?
“Jia Xu is right,” Xue You stepped in the office, with her hair looking windswept; she looked at Luo Qingling and asked angrily, “You told us all that Sister Huian was well protected that was the only reason we all pulled ourselves away from her and let those incompetent bodyguards take care of her. If I knew that they couldn’t even do something so simple, why would I bother with them? I would have gone to protect Sister Huian on my own!”
“Sister!” Xue Shen turned to look at his sister. He looked horrified upon hearing her words and couldn’t help but glare at her lightly. Even though he too blamed Luo Qingling, he didn’t want to make the situation any more ugly than it already had turned at the moment.
However. Xue You simply glanced at her brother and snorted, “What? Did I say something wrong? She was the one who was in charge of taking care of Sister Huian’s security and yet she failed in something that was supposed to be her responsibility. Who else can I blame if not her?”
Xue Shen released a sigh and turned to look at Luo Qingling. “I will ask for forgiveness in her stead but at least we do deserve to know how such a thing happen? As far as we know… the security of Sister Huian was arranged by Leader Li, was it not? Then how come such a thing happened?”
Luo Qingling sighed. She raised her head and rubbed the space between her brows. “Li Lin might be the guild leader but she has no power or authority over the guild. She is more or less like a mascot. The bodyguards arranged by her and her guild were never chosen by her. They were selected and chosen by those who have once sponsored Li Lin. there are several shareholders who have control over the guild, which makes the situation even more fragile than it already was in the beginning.”
With a pause, she continued, “There was a very little chance that it could happen. After all, betrayal to an S class is something that one could never expect? Especially if the one who is leading them is an S-class hunter, they would never do something as foolish as breaking the trust of an S-class hunter because that would lead to quite a chaos.”
She interlocked her fingers and looked down at the surface of the table. Her expression that of pondering, “The lower-rank hunters are like weak wolves who rely on the protection of an alpha; they would never do something as silly as breaking the chain unless they were given a much better offer and security.”
Another pause.
“However, I do have to admit that…” she turned to look at the bodyguards who were caught alive by her when she found out that they had been betrayed. “You have to be the lowest-ranking scum to break that trust other than just being a fool who thinks that they could do anything that they want and still escape.”
“They are fools; I get that!” Duan Jia Xu shook Luo Qingling by her shoulders. “But what about Sister Huian? How could she be just kidnapped without anyone sensing anything?”
“Use your brain, Jia Xu,” Xue You snapped at him. “Li Lin’s guild factions are divided, which means that there are too many internal frictions; since that is the case… someone must have betrayed Li Lin and bribed the bodyguards that were supposed to protect Sister Huian.” She glanced at the women who were tied and kneeling in the corner before saying to them, “They must have believed those foolish words, thinking that those sponsors would be able to help them when the truth was that they would never pay attention to someone of a rank as low as them. The second they betrayed Li Lin, they were given up by the sponsors, leaving them to die. The only problem is that the sponsors would have never expected that the guild leader will catch them and…”
She turned to look at the little supplier who was in charge of supplying the fish to Luo Huian. “And her alive. They must have been banking on the fact that Leader Luo will kill these people right away without them giving away the truth.”
“Do you think that we will tell you the truth?” The little supplier said to Xue You with a crooked smile. “I know that you are going to kill me nonetheless. Why would I tell you where they are going to take Luo Huian? Anyway, that woman should die! She should have died long ago–”
“Stop blaming what happened to your brother on Huian.” Luo Qingling calmly glanced at the woman who was breathing hard and glaring at her. The flash of fear in her eyes made Luo Qingling smile. “What? Did you think that if you changed your features and altered your hair colour, I would not be able to catch you, Xiuzhi? I am a rank S hunter; I can easily detect scents. Only capricious fools like you will believe that they are smart enough to beat a rank S hunter.”
Li Xiuzhi stiffened as she raised her head and looked at Luo Qingling. This time around the smirk on her lips had long disappeared and she was looking at Luo Qingling as if she were looking at a monster.
“You—”
“What happened to your brother had nothing to do with Huian,” said Luo Qingling. “Though it’s true that the one who did that despicable thing to your brother was Huian’s friend, and she did make use of Huian’s identity, in the end, An An did nothing wrong; she simply trusted the wrong person. Why target the innocent just because you could not reacj the one who had wronged your brother?”
“She was never innocent—”
Luo Qingling rose to her feet and walked over to Li Xiuzhi. “I hope you do realise that after putting my sister at risk like this, you have brought nothing but demise on your family. In the past, we were not in the wrong but we still helped your mother and younger siblings because we felt sorry for your brother who lost his life at the hands of that woman but…” She lowered her head and smiled at Li Xiuzhi, “Your actions have just washed away the remaining pity that I had for your family. Xue Shen, use the Shadow Soul skill. If this woman won’t speak, then her soul will.”

“…”
“Have you lost your fucking mind?” When one of the women snapped out of the daze, she couldn’t help but raise her foot to kick Luo Huian but just as she raised her leg, someone pulled her back.
“Don’t touch her.” The woman who looked like the leader of the entire gang stopped the woman from causing any trouble. She glanced at Luo Huian, who was lying on the floor and looking at them without showing any hint of fear, as if she knew that she was going to make them suffer.
Why was a rank F hunter so confident?
