Ruan Xiao's Fury
Immediately, he made a phone call. "Have they not caught the person yet?"
He wanted that woman to pay the price for this!
Originally, he had planned to wait until they caught the doctor before convicting and sentencing Xiao Yuanyi together.
But now, Ruan Xiao's restrained fury urged him to hasten the search for the person. After handling some matters, he went to the prison alone.
"Marshal Ruan."
Ruan Xiao grunted coldly and inquired, "How is she?"
"Xiao Yuanyi has been looking forward to seeing you during this time."
Ruan Xiao's gaze turned icy, and the pressure around him was as chilling as a walking iceberg.
"Take me to see her."
Life in the prison was not easy. There were numerous tasks that needed to be completed daily, and there was little to no freedom. The weak were at risk of being beaten at any moment.
Xiao Yuanyi's star beast form was that of a fox, and she was not a strong individual. Her only pride was her beauty.
But her proud appearance was of no use in this place; in fact, it was a curse for her.
Those who were imprisoned were not good people, and the fact that they were all women meant her appearance was of no use to them. Xiao Yuanyi couldn't bear being locked up after just a few days.
A-9938, someone is looking for her.
Xiao Yuanyi's prison cell was knocked on, and at that moment, she was being beaten by the dormitory's leader. Upon hearing the sound, she rushed out.
"Someone is looking for me, someone is looking for me."
Xiao Yuanyi's eyes lit up, and with her messy hair, she followed the guard outside.
Whoever it was, she wanted to seize the opportunity to find a way out. She didn't want to stay in this damned place for a second longer.
But the guard didn't take her to the waiting room; instead, they took her to the interrogation room.
When she saw the man sitting in the interrogation room, Xiao Yuanyi's pupils shrank, and she instinctively stepped back.
"Go in." Weren't you always wanting to see Marshal Ruan? "Now that he's here, why are you hiding?"
The guard pushed her, looking at her with a mocking expression. It was as if no one dared to think at all.
Did Xiao Yuanyi want to see Ruan Xiao? Of course, she did.
She was ambitious and greedy, aspiring to become the marshal's wife. She had put in a lot of effort to raise a child for the marshal, but the child turned out to be a weak and unnoticed star beast.
But Xiao Yuanyi never thought it was her fault. She blamed everything on the child.
She despised the child, so she never cared for her. When she was in a bad mood, she even beat and scolded her.
Ruan Shu's star beast form was visibly weak, and she believed that even someone as powerful as Marshal Ruan wouldn't appreciate having such a feeble star beast daughter.
Especially after the results of the spiritual power test came out, the F-level waste of spiritual power shattered her last hope.
Her dreams were shattered, but Xiao Yuanyi was unwilling to end up with nothing after enduring years of suffering. She sent the genetic report and the paternity confirmation to the marshal's mansion, blackmailing them for money before revealing the child's location.
She wanted to leave with the money and find a way to climb up using her own looks, but she was caught as soon as she entered the port.
Since arriving at this prison and enduring a humiliating existence, she desperately longed for someone to rescue her. But it was Marshal Ruan who ordered her capture. Who would dare to come and save her? Even those who knew her wished they had never met her.
So, the only way out for her was Marshal Ruan.
She had always wanted to see him, but now that the person she desired to see was right in front of her, Xiao Yuanyi regretted it.
"Ruan, Marshal Ruan!"
Xiao Yuanyi knelt in front of him, tears streaming down her face, filled with regret.
"I know I was wrong, Marshal." "I won't dare anymore." Please spare me.
Ruan Xiao looked at her coldly, his ice-blue eyes sharp like blades, keeping her in place.
The oppressive presence of a high-level star beast made it difficult for Xiao Yuanyi to breathe.
Ruan Xiao looked at her expressionlessly. "What have you done to Shu Shu..."
The interrogation conducted by Ruan Xiao himself lasted less than half an hour.
After Ruan Xiao emerged, his expression was stern, and his complexion appeared even darker and more terrifying than when he had arrived.
His eyes were filled with fury, and when he left, the entire prison was enveloped in an atmosphere of fear.
When they entered the interrogation room after Marshal Ruan had left, they noticed that Xiao Yuanyi had been beaten back to her initial state. The fox, over three meters tall, was panting heavily.
"She's really bold, daring to offend Marshal Ruan."
"In the past, there have been people who offended Marshal Ruan, but she is the first to be interrogated by Marshal Ruan himself and leave in such a state of anger." "What did Xiao Yuanyi do to anger Marshal Ruan so much?"
Almost no one knew about Ruan Xiao's visit to the prison, but it did not go unnoticed by one person.
The Emperor of the Star Beast Empire is Almor.
In the imperial palace, Almor lazily leaned against the window, playing with the seashell wind chimes hanging there with his distinctively bony fingers.
The clear sound of the wind was pleasant, and Almor squinted as he watched the ferocious man-eating flowers below.
"Did Ruan Xiao go to see that woman in prison?"
The Prime Minister, Long Aosi, nodded from behind. "He personally interrogated Xiao Yuanyi and left in anger."
Almor straightened up, and his black hair was adorned with a snowflake hairpin woven with gold and red threads, embedded with sparkling jewels that shimmered under his gaze. In contrast to Ruan Xiao's calm and understated style, Almor proudly displayed the gift given to him by Ruan Shu, as if afraid that others wouldn't notice it.
"So, did something happen to Shu Shu?" Is there anything unusual about the Ruan family?
"A psychologist named Shen Yu has visited, but he is a friend of Mr. Ruan Qingran, so there's no issue."
Almor said, "There is an issue."
He thought back to the day he met Ruan Shu.
At that time, there were only two people in the flower room, and the little one was so scared that she wanted to curl up and run away.
She was timid, afraid of contact with strangers, and didn't like to talk. Even when he tried to encourage her to speak, she always kept her head down, avoiding eye contact.
Almor took out a black pearl the size of an egg from somewhere and played with it on his fingertips.
"Go and investigate."
"Yes."
The young man touched the snowflake hairpin in his hair and the wind chimes hanging by the window.
These were all the things that came with Ruan Shu's reply to him.
He liked them very much.
So... he couldn't wait to meet that soft, glowing little one.
