Chapter 850: Times of Crisis3

Over at the mansion, the sky was already bright. Ling Tianya hadnt slept for the whole night.

This night seemingly went by peacefully, but the more peaceful it looked on the surface, the stronger the undertow.

Ruan Qishan walked over to the window to stand beside Ling Tianya. After these two long days and nights, Ruan Qishan had visibly aged a few years.

Ruan Guosheng probably wont stay put much longer, Ruan Qishan said in a low voice.

Ling Tianya stayed silent, but she nodded her head.

Tianya. Ruan Qishans voice suddenly grew heavy. In recent years, Ive seen the kind of ambition that Ruan Guosheng had. Zeyan knew as well. There had been several occasions when he wanted to get rid of Ruan Guosheng, but I couldnt bear to do it on the account that hes my brother and we have the same father. Weve only tried to suppress him, but we overlooked the fact that where there is suppression, there will be resistance. Its my fault that things have turned out this way.

Dad, dont say that. Ling Tianyas voice was hoa.r.s.e, but gentle. This isnt your fault. The only one to blame is Ruan Guosheng for being too greedy.

Ruan Qishan sighed, then turned around to glance at old lady Ruan and w.a.n.g Yazhi. They were sound asleep. He continued, Ruan Guosheng has been wanting to take full control of the Ruan family for awhile now. In order to get what he wants, hes even willing to work with KSI. I cant imagine that theres anything he wont stoop to. Hes too desperate to succeed, too desperate to prove himself. Now, everything he wants is right in front of him, but he still cant get it. How will he ever be able to swallow this?

He wont. Ling Tianyas breathing grew heavier.

What you said before will only fool Ruan Guosheng for a short while. Hell probably come back to his senses soon. Compared to keeping us hostage just in case Ruan Zeyan didnt die so he can use us to threaten Zeyan, he may as well kill us right now. Then he could publicly announce that Zeyan has died and take the whole Ruan familys legacy before Zeyan comes back. This way, even if Zeyan returns, he will only be a dead man to the rest of the world. Since the Ruan family would belong Ruan Guosheng by then, even if theres troubles dealing with Ruan Zeyan, with an ally like KSI he wont have much to fear either.

Ling Tianya also knew that her words wouldnt be able to fool Ruan Guosheng for long. He was anxious to take the Ruan familys legacy for himself; he would never give up so easily. Once his patience ran out, the first to receive his frustrations would be the people right here.

Ruan Qishan said heavily, Tianya, no matter what happens, you and the little rice dumpling must survive.

Dad... Ling Tianya didnt understand what he meant. freewenovel.cm

Ruan Qishan pa.s.sed a fountain pen to Ling Tianya. Tianya, every clan head of the Ruan family will gather a crew of his own guards, and they will only listen to their own master. Like how Im not able to control Zeyans secret guards, my men wont listen to Zeyan either.

Ling Tianya looked at that ordinary looking pen in her hand. Whats this pen?

Since Zeyan took over my position, I let my secret guards go. They have gone through many trials with me over the years; it was time for them to lead a normal life. The ones Ive kept beside me now are all normal guards. I know their abilities. Although theyre fine guards, in front of strong enemies they wont be able to do a thing. Therefore, I dont have any hope that they will be able to find Zeyan. This pen is my token. The men who serve me will recognize this pen and serve the holder like they do me. Im giving this pen to you now. If you ever find yourself into any trouble in the future, go to H City and find a man called Tao Dayu. Hell obey your commands.
