BXBX NOVEL Chapter 272 - 272: What Did You Do?
Hua Shang asked Kong Rui if he should kill the thief now.
Unexpectedly, Kong Rui gave Hua Shang another look, signaling him to wait a little longer.
Although Hua Shang was puzzled, he endured it.
Kong Rui also knew that this thief probably didn’t know what the queen wanted to do with this Soul Changing Technique, but since he was sent to keep an eye on the Hua family, then the Nie family…
“Young Master Hua is indeed injured and can’t walk,” Kong Rui said as she looked at Hua Shang.
Hua Shang coughed violently at the right time and his entire face turned pale, as if confirming Kong Rui’s words.
The thief didn’t loosen his grip, but said fiercely, “I don’t care if he’s injured or not. Even if he’s on the brink of death, I’ll keep him alive until he sees the queen!”
“What did you say?!” When he heard the thief’s words, Mr. Hua’s expression instantly turned ferocious.
The thief didn’t seem to care. “Since I’m trapped here and can’t give Mr. Yin Ling a reply, Mr. Yin Ling already knows that there’s something going on in the Hua family’s home.”
“I believe that the queen’s decree will come to the Hua family soon!”
“If you let me go, I can plead with Mr. Yin Ling or ask the queen to spare the Hua family!”
When he heard what the man said, Mr. Hua’s expression became distorted. “Do you think the queen can control the Hua family?”
“You think too highly of yourself!”
The thief burst into laughter. “How powerful is the Hua family? How can the Hua family be more powerful than the Nie family?”
“Look at how the Nie family is bowing down to the royal family now. Don’t you know what kind of outcome you guys will face?”
The thief spoke proudly, but Kong Rui frowned.
The Nie family’s reaction was indeed a little strange.
The Nie family couldn’t compete with the Empire with their strength, since there was still a gap between a family and a country after all.
However, it would be ridiculous to say that the Nie family was bowing down to the royal family!
If the Nie family really bowed down to the royal family, why would they secretly recruit troops and buy horses all these years? Why would they even sponsor an assassin organization?
However, these things were secrets. Not to mention the thief in front of her, even Yin Ling probably couldn’t find out about these things.
If Kong Niang hadn’t told Kong Rui about this because she asked her to take revenge on Nie Lin, Kong Rui wouldn’t have been able to see through the Nie family’s scheme so easily.
“You’re saying that the Nie family also participated in the soul swap?” Kong Rui asked the question on her mind.
This was the problem that troubled her the most.
Other than Wen Qiong’s soul, the implementation of the Soul Changing Technique definitely required other soul bodies.
After her recent investigation, Kong Rui was certain that the body that was about to be replaced was definitely Li Han’s!
The First Elder of the Li family must have known what the queen was going to do, which was why he fell ill and hadn’t recovered yet!
However, according to the rumors outside, Li Han was already overjoyed to be able to acknowledge her aunt as the queen and get engaged to Nie Yin!
To think about it, she was really pitiful!
That person seemed to suddenly realize that something was wrong and fierce expression appeared on his face as he tightened his grip. “Why are you asking so many questions?! You’re being…”
Upon seeing that person’s sudden ruthless move, Mr. Hua and Hua Shang were about to attack when the person’s expression suddenly froze.
“You…” As the person spoke, his eyes suddenly widened in shock and fear.
He suddenly released his grip on Kong Rui’s throat. His entire hand remained clenched, but it kept trembling.
His other hand subconsciously let go of Kong Rui’s hand while his body trembled.
In just a few seconds, that person fell to the ground, his entire body twitching.
He pointed a finger at Kong Rui.. “W-What did you do to me?”
