Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands-Chapter 497: Deep Scheming

Gu Qinfan was the only family member left behind by the woman who was adopted by Grandpa Dong. If they failed to save him, that woman might lose her mind. Who knows what she might do if she were to end up losing her head?

Luo Huian pursed her lips and said, "I will first go to the village and see what kind of situation that mer is in at the moment. If possible, I will also think of a way to collect the evidence."

"No!"

"No!"

"Absolutely not!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the rest immediately refused to agree with her suggestion. They came together with Luo Huian because they wanted to make sure that she would not take unnecessary risks.

Luo Qingling turned to look at Luo Huian and questioned, "How can you go to the village alone? What if something goes wrong? how are we supposed to know that you are in danger?"

"That's right," Duan Jia Xu agreed with Luo Qingling, which showed how dangerous Luo Huian's offer was as the mer hardly agreed and got along with Luo Qingling. "You might think that it's a simple matter of arranging evidence but it's not that easy. These villagers are relying on that mer's body."

"Since Gu Qinfan is the vessel that they had chosen to raise the Gloom in, I don't think that they would sit still if they saw you helping him."

You Ruojin, also nodded and stammered, "They are right. If a fight breaks out you might not be able to deal with them alone. No matter how strong you are, you cannot defeat hundreds of villagers, can you?"

She paused and turned to look at Duan Jia Xu and the rest before saying to them, "I never said that I would sneak inside the village without hiding myself."

"Even if you hide yourself, that mer must be kept under tight security. How can you sneak close to him?" Luo Qingling asked.

Luo Huian pursed her lips; she didn't want to disclose a lot about her skills but when she thought about how Luo Qingling and the rest were worrying over her, Luo Huian thought that it would be wrong of her if she hid her skills and went to the village, leaving them to worry about her.

"Like this," with a sigh, she activated Xiao Hei's skill and blended into the shadows.

The second Luo Huian turned invisible Luo Qingling's eyes turned as big as saucers. She wasn't the only one. Even Duan Jia Xu and You Ruojin were stunned. They knew that Luo Huian was skilled but they never thought that she had a skill that allowed her to turn invisible!

This was such a handy skill.

"You see?" Luo Huian turned her skill off and looked at the three people in front of her. She said to them, "This is why I said that I would sneak inside the village and take a look around. I can sneak inside the village without being caught; however, you three cannot do the same. So leave this matter in my hands and let me deal with it."

"Unless one of the villagers has a pair of godly eyes, they cannot see me." This was something that Luo Huian was confident about. Xiao Hei's cultivation was really high. After all, he was trained by her father.

Luo Tingfeng was only ten when he cleared the eleventh level of cultivation and led a bunch of disciples to kill a demonic cultivator. Her father's skills were no joke and as Xiao Hei was taught by him, it was impossible for anyone to trace Xiao Hei's spiritual energy.

This was something that Luo Huian could boast about for three nights and four days.

When Luo Qingling heard Luo Huian say that no one could trace her, she believed her. The second Luo Huian disappeared just now; she really didn't sense her but when she thought about how there were more skilled hunters than her in the world, she pursed her lips in a thin line.

After a small pause, she said to Luo Huian, "Alright, if you want to go to the village on your own, then I will not stop you but —" she paused and continued, "I and Xia Ju would wait for you outside the village along with You Ruojin…"

"Sister Qingling—"

"I know that you are capable and I am not undermining you but as your elder sister, I cannot leave you alone in a dangerous situation." Luo Qingling raised her hand and stopped Luo Huian from speaking. "As your elder sister, it should be me who should be taking the risk but you are right. It makes sense for you to go and investigate the situation inside the village but that doesn't mean that I can stop worrying about you."

"Since you are heading inside the village where risks and dangers are inevitable, naturally I should keep an eye on things around you. What if you get involved in a dangerous situation? Heavens forbid, what would you do in case something like that happens? It's better for us to stay close by so that we can help you."

Luo Huian wanted to refuse. After all, she had more than one trick up her sleeve but as if sensing what she was going to say, Luo Qingling narrowed her eyes and stated in a cold voice, "If you don't agree, then we can forget about this case completely. There is no reason for us to take the risks. I can leave this matter in the hands of Dong Geming since she has once lived in this village."

"Compared to us, she will have an even easier time."

Duan Jia Xu was even more obnoxious. He snorted and said to Luo Huian, "If you refuse to take us, then we will simply follow you without telling you. Anyway, we are coming."

When Luo Huian heard Duan Jia Xu and Luo Qingling's words, she was speechless. In the end, she could only leave the matter alone. Since they wanted to come with her, then who was she to stop them? It wasn't as if she could tie their feet and stop them, right?

Thus, she allowed them to follow her.

"Fine, do whatever you want to do." Luo Huian couldn't stop them so she could only concede defeat.

After the matter was settled, Luo Qingling and the rest heaved a sigh of relief. They then started discussing how they were going to sneak close to the village. In the end, it was Luo Huian who put her foot down and said that she would be the one sneaking inside the village while the others would be in charge of keeping an eye on her safety.

"Unless I call for you three... You are not allowed to sneak inside the village," she reminded them with a roll of her eyes.

Though Luo Qingling and the other two were not willing, Luo Huian's threat that she would sneak on her own made them step back.

At the same time, Qi Yongrui stared out of the small window of the inn that he was renting. He didn't want to come to this small town but his sister noticed something amiss and started questioning him. Qi Yongrui was yet to find all the evidence about the betrayal that his good brother had given to him, so he could only suppress his anger and heartache before taking this project that Qi Changpu had given to him.

He also wondered why Qi Liwei did such a thing.

No matter what, Qi Yongrui treated him really well. He had given that mer all his love and attention. Yet Qi Liwei turned around and betrayed him. Was it really worth it? Going through all the trouble only to pull him down?

Qi Yongrui couldn't understand.

"I think there is something wrong with this village."

Long Zhong, who had gone out to collect information about the village, returned with a few buns. He placed them on the table inside the room and sat down to take off his shoes.

"What do you mean?" Qi Yongrui turned away from the window and looked at his assistant. "Did something happen in that village?"

"That's the thing." Long Zhong stretched the toes of his fingers and turned to look at Qi Yongrui. "I have not a single clue about what kind of place that village is. I asked around and no one knew anything; they only told me that the village is not a good place and I shouldn't go there. Tell me, Yongrui, why did your sister send you here? Is she mad at you for not bringing Luo Huian's blood?"

"Maybe," Qi Yongrui rubbed the tips of his fingers. What he didn't tell Long Zhong was that things were not going well between Qi Changpu and her husband. The other day, his brother-in-law came out of nowhere and slapped him.

The reason? Qi Changpu called Qi Yongrui's name when she was sleeping with her husband. The entire situation soon escalated and in the end, Mother Qi asked his sister to send Qi Yongrui away.

This village was obviously chosen by his brother-in-law, who might be hoping for Qi Yongrui's death.
