Chapter 293: The Whole Story

The brothel keeper placed her hands on her hips and began to command the servants to clean up the mess in front of her.

When Kong Rui walked into the hall of Fragrant Garden, the servant was trying his best to smooth the deep marks left by the steel knife and chains on the ground.

When she saw everything in front of her, she was stunned for a moment. In the blink of an eye, she saw the brothel keeper rushing over.

Kong Rui dodged and did not let the brothel keeper get close to her.

“What happened here?” Kong Rui looked at the hall in front of her. Although it was relatively clean, it had clearly been destroyed before.

She could guess that someone had come here to cause trouble, but she still needed the brothel keeper to explain the situation.

The brothel keeper described the situation just now without forgetting to exaggerate the master’s grandiosity.

When Kong Rui heard that Chao Bai had returned, her heart skipped a beat. She did not listen to the brothel keeper anymore and immediately ran towards the backyard.

The brothel keeper needed a listener, but she only had time to sigh before she saw Kong Rui leave.

Kong Rui hurriedly ran to the backyard. She had too many questions to ask Chao Bai.

When she arrived at the backyard, Kong Rui felt that it was abnormally quiet. Even Ling Nuo, who usually waited here, was gone.

Kong Rui frowned and called out softly, “Chao Bai.”

Even after waiting for a while, Kong Rui did not hear any response.

She quickly opened the door and rushed in, only to find that the room was empty.

After Kong Rui rushed to the hall again, she saw the old procuress berating a few burly men.

She quickly walked to the brothel keeper’s side and pulled her to the side before asking, “Where is he?”

“Who?” The brothel keeper was baffled.

“The male master,” Kong Rui said impatiently.

The brothel keeper was stunned for a moment before saying, “He went back to the backyard just now. Didn’t you see him?”

Kong Rui’s expression changed. Just as she was about to return to the backyard, she saw Ling Nuo walk out of the room on the other side.

As soon as Ling Nuo saw Kong Rui, she immediately jogged forward. “Miss, you’re back!”

Kong Rui nodded before pulling Ling Nuo and asking, “Where’s your young master?”

Ling Nuo chuckled and said, “Miss, he’s already our new master!”

Kong Rui did not care about these things and only asked anxiously, “Where did he go?” “In the backyard!” Ling Nuo looked at Kong Rui quizzically. “Master has already returned to the backyard to wait for you!”

“He’s not in the backyard.” Kong Rui sounded disappointed.

“Huh?” Ling Nuo was also a little confused.

What was going on? Was he practicing how to come and go without a trace?

Didn’t he come back to see Kong Rui?

Seeing Ling Nuo’s expression change, Kong Rui knew that he must know something about it.

Kong Rui coughed lightly before grabbing Ling Nuo’s collar and bringing her to the backyard.

After returning to the room in the backyard, Kong Rui let go of Ling Nuo. “Tell me!

What’s going on?”

Ling Nuo blinked and thought for a while before sorting out her thoughts.

“It’s like this. Master suddenly appeared in the backyard today, so 1 thought he was in a hurry to see you.”

“But at that time, a few people came to Fragrant Garden to cause trouble. The brothel keeper and the others couldn’t handle it, so I rushed over to help.”

Ling Nuo did not intend to admit that he had done it to avoid Chao Bai.

“Who are those people?” Kong Rui finally asked about those people.

“According to them, they were sent by the High Heaven Pavilion to cause trouble for you.” Ling Nuo told Kong Rui the answer he had obtained after the interrogation.

Kong Rui frowned slightly and wondered when she had offended the High Heaven Pavilion again.

If the people from High Heaven Pavilion knew that Zi Xuan’s death was related to her, why would they only send a few inconspicuous minions to cause trouble?

There was probably something else going on.

However, Kong Rui did not care about this now. She only wanted to know where Chao Bai had gone!

“And then?” Kong Rui continued to ask.

“One of those people was quite skilled and exchanged a few moves with me.” As Ling Nuo spoke, he couldn’t help but cough.

Kong Rui paused when Ling Nuo’s hand touched the neck that still had a red strangulation mark, but she did not say anything and only gestured for Ling Nuo to continue.

Ling Nuo cleared her throat and continued, “After that, master captured all those people.”

“Master’s original intention was to kill all those people.”

“But later, those people confessed that the people from the High Heaven Pavilion sent them here, so I interrogated those people for a while to see if 1 could get anything else out of them..”
