"Uncle Liu...please come to the school to pick us up. Jing Xin...he isn't in a good condition. Yes, please hurry up."

'Beep beep'

Ending the call, Qin Yue looked at the bruised face of her brother that had already turned dark purple and his left cheek was swollen.

Even in his unconsciousness, his brows were knitted tightly while cold sweat dotted on his forehead and nose.

She was currently sitting under a tree near the school gates with Ruan Jing Xin lying on her lap. The break time was already over and the students had gone back to their classes so it was quiet and empty.

If she were to appear in front of others like this, the news would become hard to control and the matter will get blown up which she didn't want, not yet.

She didn't regret what she did today. She was even slightly disappointed that she couldn't kill them with her own hands for touching her brother.

Although she wasn't someone who killed people anytime anywhere and followed by the laws of the world, she also had her own limits and her bottom line was breached when they laid their hands on her brother.

She only came into this world to complete the tasks and he wasn't her real brother, she knew that but since she had already taken him under her wings then she would do anything to protect her own people. She had failed to protect him today but there won't be any 'next time'.

The Ruan family residence and the school weren't very far apart and only took half an hour to reach here on car. She estimated the time and came to a conclusion that uncle Liu would arrive here in 10 more minutes.

She could feel that her body has reached its limits. The mysterious force that 707 called soul force, she had used it to the point her soul couldn't handle so her body was taking a toll and she felt very powerless.

The repercussion for using the power beyond the limits might not be so simple so she had to plan ahead and take control of this matter before her family got involved into it.

She looked through the contacts in her phone and stopped at a name. Pressing the call button, she put her phone near her ear and heard the call ringtone through the other side.

The call was answered in a few seconds and a respectful yet teasing voice of a man was heard.

"Hello, young miss. What made you think of me today? I'm sure today isn't the end of the month."

"Enough with your jokes. Du Jin, I have a job for you. Find a reliable and efficient detective agency and look into the information of 5 young men. Their family background, identities, recent activities, their relatives, everything. If there are any black secrets on them, the better! I will send the pictures of the boys and make sure that you collect all the information within 3 days."

"If you don't...you know what awaits you." Qin Yue had searched through the school forums and checked the list of students to get the pictures of the 5 men.

There weren't much information about them so she thought of entrusting this job to her newly employed manager in charge of handling the matters of her company.

She had opened her own company a week ago. It was a new brand in the fashion industry under her own name.

She had noticed that this world wasn't very developed in the area of fashion designing. Most of the people wore formal attires more often since it was a world where status was represented through their quality of clothes.

After earning a hefty sum of profit through the stock market, she had enough money to open her own company and she decided to use her original world's fashion sense to make her work easier.

She might not have mentioned it before, other than dabbling on the business world, drawing was her favourite hobby. So drawing a few designs that could rock the whole fashion world was just a piece of cake to her with the knowledge from her world.

The first batch of her summer clothes designs had been launched 3 days ago which set off many waves in the fashion industry. Right after its launch, all the clothes were already out of stock in just half a day.

So you could see how much her business was booming, enough to make a cunning and talented man like Du Jin to be whole-heartedly willing to follow her.

"5 young men? Did they provoke you or something? What blind person would dare to anger a devil like you, boss? I really wish to meet them in person and give a few bows of respect." Du Jin's voice sounded full of shock and sarcasm after hearing her orders as he joked.

"Did you hear me or not? Get back to work if you did or else you can say goodbye to your salary for 3 months." Qin Yue was already used to his seemingly playful yet crafty personality so she didn't even lift a brow upon hearing him calling her a devil.

"Aye, ma'am! I will get back to work then. You can expect the results within 3 days! Goodbye." Du Jin chuckled lightly then ended the call.

Qin Yue sent the pictures of the 5 men to Du Jin's number and got a call from uncle Liu right after, he had arrived in front of the school gates.

With her remaining strength, she carried Ruan Jing Xin again and headed outside the school gates to see a shocked and worried uncle Liu rushing towards them.

"Aigo, young master! Young miss, what happened to the young master? Why is he like this?" Uncle Liu cried in concern as he helped her carry Ruan Jing Xin to the car.

"I'll explain it later. Uncle Liu, please drive to the nearby hospital and contact father. Jing Xin can't wait, he needs to get treated soon." Qin Yue sat on the backseat with Ruan Jing Xin lying his head on her lap.

She soon lost her consciousness after instructing him one last time. She couldn't hold on any longer.

"Young miss? Young miss! Aigo, who dared to do this to our family's young masters? I must tell the family head about this and let him find out their identities!" Uncle Liu mumbled as he drove fast towards the nearby hospital as he reported the situation to father Ruan.

"What did you say? Jing Xin is severely hurt and Yue'er is in a coma?!" Father Ruan abruptly stood up from his chair as he shouted in shock which made the people inside the meeting room flinch. They looked at him nervously.

He was in the middle of an important meeting concerning the partnership between some other companies and his own when he suddenly got a call from uncle Liu who was already in the hospital.

Ruan Jing Xin was taken to the emergency ward and his report was yet to come while Qin Yue was admitted to a private VIP hospital ward. The doctor said she had some internal injuries that weren't very serious but she received a psychological impact and went into a coma. She might wake up within 4-5 days and only needed some rest.

Hearing the successive reports of his two children being hospitalised with one seriously injured while the other in a coma, father Ruan was shaken to the core as he dismissed the meeting and ran off from the meeting room under the confused and curious eyes of the business candidate partners.

He called his chauffeur and took the private elevator and walked out of the company while making a few calls to his subordinates.

"No matter what, you must find out what happened in the school today and who did this to my children. So daring to lay their hands on my, Ruan Yun Xing's children! They must be tired of living!"

While giving orders to his subordinates, he also informed madam Ruan about this matter. She was so shocked and terrified after hearing that her precious baby and her newly acknowledged step-son were hospitalised with their conditions unknown.

She cried in worry and quickly got into a car and drove to the hospital without even changing from her house clothes.

While the Ruan family was in a chaos, the school was in no less trouble either.

The ambulance that Pei Lang called for arrived a few minutes later than uncle Liu. The school was alarmed by this and everyone was full of doubts and curiosity.

Under the eyes of all the students and staffs in the school, the 5 men who were hanging to their dear lives by a thread were carried on stretchers and taken away by the ambulance, their condition clearly severe.

This matter caused huge ruckus as everyone was surprised to see such thing happening inside the school premises.

It was spread around like wild fire and the school authorities were questioned by the guardians about their children's security which made them scratch their head, completely frustrated.

The families of the 5 male students also contacted the school principal and asked for the details about the matter. Some even threatened him about suing the school for not taking enough measures for the safety of their students.

This whole matter left the school authorities completely tongue-tied.

Soon the matter was taken to the police and with their thorough investigations, they found out about the involvement of Qin Yue and Ruan Jing Xin who were currently hospitalised and in no state to relay the truth to them.

Already realising that their children were probably at fault, the families of the 5 young men were hesitant about their next step. After all, they were dealing with one of the big families! It wasn't something they could take as a joke.

But they still decided to stake it all and turn the whole matter from white to black, pushing all the blame at Ruan Jing Xin whom they believed was only an orphan with no strong backing.

The public opinions were diverted against him and the students who had heard of the false rumours totally believed it, cursing at him.

The matter was taken as 'Ruan Jing Xin, a shameless orphan seducing the young miss of the Ruan family and inciting conflict between her admirers which led to the fight between the boys. As they were still young and hot-blooded, they didn't think of the matter clearly and were provoked by his words and ended up in a serious fight. The young miss of the Ruan family was accidentally injured while trying to mediate between them.'

All the evidences and the recent rumours pointed towards Ruan Jing Xin being the culprit for this matter and even dismissed the matter of the 5 young men outnumbering him in a fight as just a careless act of young kids.

What? So the 5 men were just young, hot-blooded kids while Ruan Jing Xin, who was clearly the youngest among them was a shameless, immature brat who disrupted the peace among the students? Such bullshit!

Although Pei Lang wanted to speak up for him since he was someone Ruan Yue Yue cared enough to react like that, he didn't have any evidence and his statement would only be taken as baseless accusations.

Even though he was from one of the big families, the public opinions mattered and they all took side of the 'victims'. If he really used his family's power to change the whole situation, it would only be seen as 'the strong bullying the weak'. It would only worsen the public opinions towards Ruan Jing Xin and make the matter more complicated.

So he was helpless in this case. Only if the victims, Ruan Yue Yue and Ruan Jing Xin woke up and gave their statements about the incident, would they be able to do something about it. For now, they could only investigate further and hope to find some useful evidences.

Father Ruan was also facing the same thing and was hammering the wall in the hospital in anger.

How dare they call his son a shameless man who seduced his own sister?! Telling such baseless accusations, really ate some leopard's guts!

But before he made a move to announce to the world that Ruan Jing Xin was his own son and Ruan Yue Yue was his sister which could directly conclude the whole case, his phone rang.

It was an unknown number.

With a frown, he picked up the call.

"Hello?"

"Hello, President Ruan. This is Du Jin, a subordinate under young miss Ruan. Yesterday, she instructed me to tell you to wait for her recovery before taking any action on this case. She said that she would take care of this matter herself and it would be done in the most satisfactory way. So please refrain from doing anything before the young miss awakens."

Du Jin spoke without his usual playfulness in his voice. He sounded more serious.

"Why should I believe you? Do you have any proof that you work under my daughter?" Father Ruan didn't just believe him and questioned him with his voice filled with authority. He was truly worthy of being the head of a big family, his aura was powerful and majestic.

"The XueHua fashion brand."

Father Ruan finally believed in him after hearing his answer.

The XueHua fashion brand was the new company under Qin Yue. She had already informed father Ruan about it and also told him to keep it a secret from others about her being the owner of the brand.

He was very proud of his daughter for being able to open her own company in such a young age and it was currently the most popular brand name in the fashion industry.

So he had promised her to not tell anyone about it and also helped her in blocking the curious eyes of other big entities in the business world from her and the company. Other than him and his daughter, no one else knew about this matter so he could trust Du Jin.

"Since it is what Yue'er wants then so be it. She must have given you some more instructions, probably? Get back to it and make sure to make no mistakes or else..." He left it unsaid and just let the other side fill in the gaps in his mind and ended the call.

Du Jin wiped his sweat helplessly.

'Really...like father, like daughter.'
