180 Probe
After receiving the Hua family’s gratitude, Kong Rui didn’t plan to stay long, so she whispered a few words to Hua Shang.
Hua Shang immediately bowed to Kong Rui respectfully and said, “Since you still have something to do, we won’t force you to stay. I hope we can repay you in the future…”
Kong Rui was about to walk out when she heard a deep voice behind her. “Benefactor, wait!”
Kong Rui turned around and saw a tall man walking towards her.
“What’s the matter?” Kong Rui looked at the man. He was dressed in lavish clothes and looked like someone of status.
The man walked up to Kong Rui and bowed. “I’m the second eldest one in the Hua family. The head of the Hua family is my elder brother, and Hua Shang is my nephew.”
Hearing that person’s self-introduction, Kong Rui thought about it for a moment before bowing in return. “Greetings, Second Master Hua!”
Seeing Kong Rui return the greeting, Mr. Hua was clearly a little uncomfortable. “Benefactor, you don’t have to do this! I just have something to discuss with you in detail. I wonder if you have the time?”
Kong Rui sized up Mr. Hua and saw that he didn’t seem to have any ill intentions, but she didn’t know what he wanted to do.
At this moment, Hua Shang stopped Mr. Hua. “Our benefactor still has something important to do, so we can’t delay her!”
Mr. Hua looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, which immediately piqued Kong Rui’s curiosity. Kong Rui pondered for a moment before saying, “Alright! I’ll go with Mr. Hua!”
Mr. Hua immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
He turned around and led the way for Kong Rui.
Seeing this, Hua Shang followed. “I’ll go too!”
Mr. Hua didn’t stop him. Instead, he turned around and walked in front.
Kong Rui and Hua Shang walked side by side.
Hua Shang was about a head taller than Kong Rui, and his strides were much larger. However, he tried his best to control his pace and maintain a synchronized pace with Kong Rui.
Kong Rui wasn’t surprised by Hua Shang’s meticulousness. After meeting him in the Spirit Beast Tournament, Kong Rui already felt that Hua Shang was a meticulous and gentle person!
The three of them arrived at a room in the Hua family’s backyard. The room was dark and was blocked by a fence.
Kong Rui looked at the room in confusion while waiting for Mr. Hua’s explanation.
Mr. Hua stopped in his tracks and glanced at Hua Shang before saying to Kong Rui, “Benefactor, although the Hua family is one of the five great clans, because the family head is missing and Young Master has been weak since he was young, the Hua family has always been weak among the five major families. However, for the Hua family to be able to maintain a spot among the five great clans, we naturally have our own foundation. This is where the Hua family’s foundation is!”
Kong Rui suddenly looked up at Mr. Hua in shock. She didn’t expect Mr. Hua to bring her to the most important place in the Hua family!
Hua Shang didn’t seem surprised. He had probably guessed Mr. Hua’s intentions.
Under the bamboo hat, Kong Rui’s face was almost distorted.
What was Mr. Hua doing?
Why did he bring her here?
Could it be that they felt that she wanted to use her identity as the Hua family’s benefactor to threaten them, so they planned to tell her this secret and kill her?
Kong Rui felt a chill run down her spine.
Seeing that Kong Rui was in a daze, Mr. Hua said, “If it’s inconvenient for you to show your true appearance, the Hua family will respect your choice. Today, I’ll use the Hua family’s foundation to exchange for a promise from you.”
Seeing that Mr. Hua was so serious, Kong Rui said solemnly, “Mr. Hua, please tell me. If I can do it, I’ll definitely do my best!”
Mr. Hua glanced at Hua Shang again before continuing, “I don’t know what relationship you have with the Li family, but we must take revenge! I only hope that you won’t stop us when we take revenge!”
