That person tightened his grip on Kong Rui again and pulled hard, turning her around so that her back was facing him.

That person clenched his other hand into a claw and grabbed Kong Rui’s throat tightly. “Hmph! Little girl, you’re too naive!” As the person spoke, he grabbed Kong Rui’s throat with his claws and twisted her arm, making her lean against him.

Mr. Hua and Hua Shang were shocked.

Although the two of them had already expected the other party to attack, they still panicked a little when facing such a situation.

After all, her life was very important. They couldn’t be careless at all!

If not for the fact that she had already hinted to them not to worry, the two of them would probably have panicked and surrounded the dungeon!

When that person saw Hua Shang and Mr. Hua’s panicked expressions, he immediately sneered. “I didn’t expect this little girl to be so important to the two of you. Looks like I’ve made the right bet!”

As the person spoke, he exerted strength in his hand and forcefully raised Kong Rui’s arm that had been bent behind her back.

Kong Rui cried out in pain.

A satisfied smile appeared on that person’s face, and his other hand tightened around

Kong Rui’s throat. “Let me out now!”

“Also, Young Master Hua, please come with me!”

Although Kong Rui was restrained, she still asked in a hoarse voice, “Who are you?” “Since things have come to this, I’m not afraid to let you know!” That person clearly felt that victory was in his grasp, so he didn’t care about anything else.

“I’m a secret guard trained by Mr. Yin Ling to deal with disobedient scions like you!”

“Did Yin Ling send you here?” Kong Rui’s voice was a little hoarse, and her face was already flushed.

“Young lady, you know Mr. Yin Ling?” The person couldn’t help but be curious when he heard Kong Rui’s tone.

Kong Rui couldn’t help but cough and she tried to catch her breath before continuing, “Then why did Yin Ling ask you to come here? To kill Hua Shang?”

The person sneered, as if he was very disdainful of Kong Rui’s guess. “How can a little girl like you guess Mr. Yin Ling’s plan so easily?!”

“Then… what does he want to do?” As Kong Rui was restrained by that person, she found it difficult to speak.

Mr. Hua clenched his fists anxiously, but he didn’t dare to rashly go forward and save Kong Rui.

Hua Shang knew that Kong Rui was trying to get that person to tell her. He was already clenching a jade slit ring tightly in his hand. As long as Kong Rui was in any danger, he would definitely kill that person!

However, that person didn’t sense that something was wrong at all and still said to Kong Rui proudly, “This young master of the Hua family has a special identity. It’s said that he has the Soul Changing Technique.”

“Mr. Yin Ling asked me to come and see if Young Master Hua is really sick or if he refused to enter the palace for other reasons!”

“If he spoiled the queen’s plans by pretending to be sick, we must arrest him and take him to the royal family!”

When Kong Rui heard that person’s words, her eyes flickered and her expression turned vicious.

It was indeed related to the queen.

Was the queen in a hurry to catch Hua Shang because of the Soul Changing Technique?

Who was she changing souls for?

Kong Rui’s mind raced, and she quickly thought of an extremely impossible but most reasonable explanation: the queen wanted to change Wen Qiong’s soul!

Only Wen Qiong could make the queen so attentive!

Only Wen Qiong could make her offend the five families at all costs!

However, Wen Qiong was already dead. How could she change her soul?

Kong Rui frowned in confusion.

When Hua Shang saw Kong Rui’s expression, he knew that she already found out what she wanted to know..
