Chapter 818: If I Could Die by Her Hand, That Would Be Fine Too
The two of them met He Ci’an at the door.Little Ci’an, innocent as ever, asked, "Where’s Auntie?"
He Jitang thought of Su Ruanruan’s uncertain fate, his heart trembling, but he forced himself to calmly pat He Ci’an on the head.
In a gentle voice, he said, "Daddy’s going to find Auntie."
Little Ci’an was delighted.
After He Jitang spoke, he quickly got into the car, followed by the second Mrs. Huo.
She felt assured.
In a while, Third Young Master He would see the ravaged state of Miss Su, and any sympathy he had would vanish.
The car started.
He Jitang lightly brushed off his pants and said calmly, "Second Mrs. Huo, you shouldn’t have touched my fourth sister."
The second Mrs. Huo naturally denied it.
He Jitang composed himself.
He whispered, "She’s not that easy to deal with."
Second Mrs. Huo didn’t believe him: she had set everything up meticulously, and since Su Ruanruan took the bait, she feared that once in Liang Dahai’s hands, Ruanruan wouldn’t get away unscathed.
Second Mrs. Huo dropped the act.
With a shallow smile, she said, "I’m doing it for your good, Young Master Ji."
He Jitang smiled coldly, neither blaming nor approving her.
When the car arrived at that secluded spot, they got out and walked into a rundown cottage.
Upon opening the door, the cunning and calculative Madam Xishan was stunned.
Where was she?
She picked up a wooden stick and started searching around.
He Jitang lowered his gaze, a slight indulgent smile playing on his lips, "I told you, my fourth sister isn’t easy to deal with!"
Second Mrs. Huo was shaking with anger.
Those two useless men!
But now she needed to retrieve them quickly, for fear they might spill the beans.
He Jitang said, "I’ll go once more."
As he walked out of the shabby house, he suddenly said to Second Mrs. Huo, "Don’t ever try to harm my fourth sister again!"
Second Mrs. Huo, furious and shocked, said, "She’s out to get us, and yet would Third Young Master He hold back?"
The skies were painted with the glow of dawn.
Standing beneath the vast sky, He Jitang’s voice was gentle, "If I could die at her hands, that would be quite good as well."
With those words, he got into the car and left, leaving Second Mrs. Huo behind.
She ground her teeth in anger: He Jitang, you madman!
She sensed danger: Su Ruanruan, she must be dealt with!

He Jitang left.
He sat silently in the backseat.
The driver, knowing he was in a foul mood, asked softly, "Young Master Ji, where to?"
He Jitang replied placidly, "To Miss Su’s house."
The driver coughed lightly, the atmosphere rather low.
An hour later, the car stopped at the gates of a villa.
He Jitang sat in the car, observing quietly.
Even though it was a temporary residence, it was quite grand and exquisite.
The gatekeeper approached to inquire.
The driver handed over a business card, smiling, "Tell your Miss Su that Young Master Ji has come to visit her."
The gatekeeper smiled and went to relay the message.
Soon after, they returned and opened the gate, and the black luxury car slowly drove into the villa.
Bao Jingyan stood in the driveway to greet them.
White shirt, black trousers.
A handsome face and a tall, slender figure.
So strikingly good-looking that it made He Jitang’s eyes hurt.
The moment He Jitang got out of the car, he was embraced.
Despite their enmity, Bao Jingyan was as warm as the spring breeze, affectionately saying, "You’ve been in Yang City for a few days, and finally, I’ve been able to welcome you, Third Brother!"
He Jitang kept a straight face, "Is Ruanruan home? Is that why you’re putting on this act?"
Bao Jingyan feigned innocence, "Do I need to use you to create an image for myself?"
He patted He Jitang on the shoulder, "I’m genuinely glad you came, Third Brother. Oh, by the way, the hand present, you didn’t come empty-handed to partake in our hospitality, did you?"
He Jitang’s mouth twitched slightly.
Bao Jingyan was utterly shameless!
Seeing as he had gone far enough, Bao Jingyan said merrily, "I forgot, Third Brother already sent us a grand gift in advance. The person is locked up in the backyard; do you want to take a look?"
