CHAPTER 519: 205 PRINCESS SYNDROME AND PRINCESS LIFE_3

Yu Ruohuan crossed her arms and looked at Xiang Chenyan with a leisurely air.

Xiang Chenyan’s gaze swept past Jiao Long and landed on Yu Ruohuan’s face.

"Miss Yu, sorry to disturb you."

Yu Ruohuan’s lips curled slightly.

In this world, stubborn people will only learn to compromise after running into walls enough times, until their heads are bloodied and bruised.

Xiang Qingtian? His so-called pride is nothing remarkable.

Xiang Chenyan hesitated briefly, then said to Yu Ruohuan, "Justice may be late, but it will never be absent. Apart from your surname, you’re completely useless."

With that, Xiang Chenyan didn’t spare her another glance and turned away decidedly.

Yu Ruohuan was momentarily stunned, then laughed in exasperation.

"Did he just insult me?"

Jiao Long and Yun Long simultaneously lowered their heads, not daring to respond.

Yu Ruohuan gnashed her teeth. "Xiang Chenyan, how dare he! Did he forget that the Xiang family is nothing more than a dog raised by the Yu family?"

Xiang Chenyan paused in his steps but left without looking back.

Yu Ruohuan returned to her room.

Jiao Long followed her inside and shut the door.

Yu Ruohuan picked up the celadon teapot by her side and smashed it at his feet, her voice seething with anger. "Is this what you call a job well done?"

"This subordinate failed in his duties. Please punish me, Miss."

Jiao Long dropped to one knee and held out a dagger with both hands.

Yu Ruohuan kicked him in the chest. "If you can mess up something this simple, what can I possibly count on you for?"

Jiao Long tumbled to the ground but quickly got back up and knelt properly, his movements smooth and practiced.

Yu Ruohuan’s chest heaved with agitation. Normally, she kept her emotions well in check, but for some reason, she was uncharacteristically irritable this time.

She quickly calmed herself. "Go investigate where things went wrong."

Making mistakes isn’t frightening. What’s frightening is making the same mistake twice.

During dinner, Shen You’an received a call from Xiang Chenyan.

Liu Runxi accompanied her to the police station once more.

Shen You’an found Xiang Chenyan in the office.

Behind closed doors, the two spoke, and no third party knew what was said.

Liu Runxi waited outside, glancing at the tightly shut door now and then.

After about ten minutes, Shen You’an opened the door and came out.

Her expression was calm, her demeanor composed, as she said lightly, "Let’s go back."

Liu Runxi turned to Xiang Chenyan. "Uncle Xiang, about An’an’s case...?"

Xiang Chenyan sighed, looking helpless.

Liu Runxi pursed his lips. "It’s Yu Ruohuan."

Xiang Chenyan’s silence confirmed his suspicions.

Liu Runxi said no more and left with Shen You’an.

"Captain Xiang," Bi Xing approached, "this is the test result just released by the tech department. There are indeed arsenic-containing chemicals in the water. I consulted a biochemist, and it matches exactly with what Shen said."

"Prosecute Li Zonghong in court for intentional harm. Seal all other evidence, and without my approval, no one is to touch it."

Bi Xing froze for a moment. "Boss..."

Xiang Chenyan said in a low voice, "Do as I say."

Bi Xing acknowledged and turned to carry out the orders.

After a few steps, he looked back.

The tall figure of the man stood in the shadows, inexplicably tinged with a sense of forlornness.

Bi Xing couldn’t help but wonder who the person in the penthouse suite was. Ever since the boss returned from meeting that person, something seemed off about him.

In truth, he knew that the boss was doing this to protect him.

If someone of the boss’s stature had to endure in silence, it could only mean that the other person was of an even higher status.

Realizing this, Bi Xing felt a chill rise within him.

For the first time, he understood the terrifying nature of absolute power.

The night spread wide, with stars sprinkled across the sky.

The city’s neon lights sparkled, its streets teeming with cars and people, lively and vibrant.

The two walked side-by-side along the sidewalk, a cool breeze brushing their ears, the clamor of the evening enveloping them.

"Yu Ruohuan." Shen You’an murmured the name softly.

She curved her lips slightly. "I truly don’t know what I’ve done to offend this spoiled princess."

To resort to such malicious tactics against her.

Liu Runxi furrowed his brows. "You know very little about the Yu family. In this generation, she’s the only girl. Spoiled to the extreme, she’s grown into this kind of person."

Truly troublesome.

Liu Runxi’s brows knitted into a deep frown.

Though Liu Runxi kept his distance from Yu Ruohuan’s circle, it didn’t mean he was clueless.

At just seven years old, Yu Ruohuan had already learned to torture stray animals—what kind of kindness could you expect from someone like that?

Rotten to the core.

A princess born into adoration and indulgence, whatever she liked, she must have, and whatever she disliked—be it person or object—would never meet a good end.

He hadn’t expected Yu Ruohuan to set her sights on Shen You’an.

But no matter what, he would do everything in his power to protect Shen You’an, ensuring Yu Ruohuan couldn’t harm her even a little.

"Princess syndrome, huh?" The girl’s cool voice carried a hint of mischief.

"Well, we’ll see if she really has the fate of a princess."
