Chapter 500: He Came to Look for Her
Deep in his heart, he felt a pain.
He slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at her with an even deeper expression.
He clearly didn’t like a pure and innocent woman like her, but every time he saw her, he felt a sense of deja vu.
Looking at her sad and pouting eyes, the emotions in his heart would be inexplicably affected.
He felt that she was a little pitiful and cute.
When Huo Hannian looked at Wen Ruan, Wen Ruan looked back at him.
Under his neat black short hair, his facial features were cold and deep. His eyebrows were dark and narrow, and his jaw was sharp and firm. Even though he was just sitting there, his cold aura could not be ignored.
The way he looked at her flickered, and his expression was dark, making it impossible to see through what he was thinking.
The off-road vehicle continued to drive forward, and the car was rather quiet.
Their gazes intertwined for a long time.
A complicated and subtle aura spread between them. Wen Ruan’s scalp went numb from his gaze and she was at a loss.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Wen Ruan broke the silence.
Huo Hannian raised his slender eyebrows.” Aren’t you looking at me?”
Yo!
He had forgotten about her and learned how to be sarcastic?
Wen Ruan didn’t play her cards by the book. She curled her lips and smiled sweetly.” I’m looking at handsome guys, what are you looking at?””
Without waiting for him to say anything, she smiled again.” I know. You’re looking at beautiful women.”
Huo Hannian was stumped by Wen Ruan’s words.
The sun shone through the car window, and her beautiful face seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light. Her smile was bright and charming, and her clear deer eyes seemed to hide bright stars.
Although he hated her type, he had to admit that she was indeed very beautiful.
When one smiled, one’s heart would let down its guard.
He pursed his thin lips and did not say another word. He sat back by the window and turned his head to face her.
Wen Ruan looked at his tensed face and touched the tip of her nose. She could not help but smile.
He didn’t seem to hate her as much as she thought!
Wen Ruan retracted her gaze from Huo Hannian and realized that someone was looking at her. She turned around and met Lu Shuangshuang’s probing and disdainful gaze.
Wen Ruan looked back at Lu Shuangshuang with an open gaze. Lu Shuangshuang smirked and turned to lean back in her chair, not looking at Wen Ruan again.
When the sky gradually darkened, the off-road vehicle arrived at the Ye Tribe.
Stone houses of various sizes were situated in the middle of the dense forest. This place was similar to a primitive tribe, and it was still very backward in all aspects.
After entering the tribe, a middle-aged man in a white robe and a headscarf came to welcome them.
“Young Master Leng Jue has arranged for the infected people in the tribe to be isolated, but they haven’t developed a prescription to solve the plague yet.”
Huo Hannian nodded with a cold expression.” Our doctor will go over to check on their condition later.””
The middle-aged man nodded.” I’ve prepared some food. Young Master and the rest have worked hard. Let’s go eat first.””
The conditions here were limited. After a simple meal, Wen Ruan and the others followed Bai Qiu to the quarantine area.
The clan leader who received them introduced the situation of the infected clansmen to them.
“Currently, 20 people have been infected. At first, they had a high fever, but it slowly moved to their chests. They were in pain and accompanied by violent coughing. Then, they had abdominal pain, vomiting, abdominal decay, and finally, they died.”
“This illness is very strange. It only took half a month from the time of infection to death.”
When Bai Qiu heard this, he instructed Wen Ruan and the rest to take precautions.
Before entering the quarantine area, everyone wore protective clothing, protective goggles, and masks.
This was the first time Wen Ruan had come into contact with the plague.
The original purpose of this trip was to get in touch with Huo Hannian more. However, when she saw the pain, breakdown, and madness of the infected, she temporarily forgot about her relationship with Huo Hannian and devoted herself to the plague.
The medical team brought by Leng Jue isolated the infected people. The epidemic did not spread, but the people in the tribe were still in a state of panic.
After learning that Huo Hannian had brought a medical team over, Leng Jue personally came to the quarantine area.
Wen Ruan was brewing medicine for someone in the courtyard. When she saw Leng Jue’s tall and straight figure, she frowned slightly.
He had been here for three days. Wen Ruan had met Leng Jue once the day before yesterday.
Father Leng urged Huo Hannian to sleep so that he would forget his hatred for Leng Jue, but Wen Ruan could not forget.
Leng Jue must have heard from Father Leng that Wen Ruan had come to look for Huo Hannian. He walked up to her with a smile on his young and handsome face.” Miss Wen, I’ve heard a lot about you. Now that I’ve seen you, you’re really like a fairy.””
Leng Jue’s smile gave Wen Ruan goosebumps.
She said calmly,” I’ve heard a lot about Young Master Leng. Now that I’ve seen him today, he’s really just like the rumors say.”
Leng Jue raised his eyebrows.” Oh? What am I like in the rumors?”
“Human Face Beast Heart”
Leng Jue was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud.
When Huo Hannian arrived at the quarantine area, he saw Wen Ruan and Leng Jue standing together. She looked up at Leng Jue, and Leng Jue laughed out loud.
Leng Jue was usually stern and cold, and Huo Hannian rarely saw him laugh like this.
He knew Wen Ruan?
Huo Hannian couldn’t hear what they were talking about because they were a little far away. Leng Jue looked at Wen Ruan with a deep gaze, leaned over and whispered something into her ear before leaving.
