From their previous conversation, Shi Lei clearly understood what kind of person Xu Lai was. Logically speaking, this was completely not his personality, yet the truth just had to be like this.

Seeing Xu Lai crying, Hua Rou's heart immediately started to ache.

"What happened?"

Now that he was surrounded by no one else, Xu Lai was finally able to put down his masks. Perhaps, within this High Dragon Manor, only Shi Lei was the only person he trusted.

"President Shi, I can hand over my life to you. I only want you to do one thing for me!"

Shi Lei nodded, he knew that the moment Xu Lai said those words, he would have already made his decision, and if he really wanted Xu Lai to work for him, he would not hesitate at all.

"It's still too early to say such things now. Get up first, there's something we need to discuss together."

"No, President Shi, if you don't agree, I won't get up."

Xu Lai was also an impatient person.

"Okay, I promise you, can you tell me?"

Xu Lai gnashed his teeth, stood up from the ground, and said fiercely: "It's all Huangfu Family!"

It turned out that after what happened in the villa, Huangfu Family had developed enmity towards Shi Lei. Under the orders of Second Master, Huangfu Family used his connections to attack the Xu family in the south of the river.

The Xu family was not some large family in the first place, and only gained some fame in Xu Lai's parents' generation.

How could a normal person withstand the might of Huangfu Family? Very soon, before even a few days had passed, Xu Lai's parents, who were suspected of having ruined the reputation of the patient by using fake medicine, were caught.

From this moment on, the Jiangnan Xu family disappeared.

When Xu Lai received this news, he initially did not understand. He thought it was because of some other reason, but after knowing the truth behind the plot, it made him firm his determination to rely on Shi Lei.

"Did the Huangfu Family really do this?"

"Absolutely."

Xu Lai very decisively nodded his head, and said: "It was Huangfu Hua and that Second Master that did this. My parents would definitely not joke around with the patient's life, this is definitely a framing!"

Shi Lei looked at the expression in Xu Lai's eyes and understood that what he was saying was not empty words. If it really was like this, then Huangfu Family, this famous family in the Chinese medical realm, would truly be somewhat unexpected.

"I will definitely avenge you."

Shi Lei had only said these few words, but Xu Lai kept it in his heart.

After returning to the hotel, the few of them were prepared to rest for a while. The ceremony for the award wasn't considered very luxurious, it was very simple, it was just to give a spot to participate in the Healer's competition, and also give the Eternal Growth Pill to Shi Lei.

The remaining people had already left one after another. All of them were people who had mocked Shi Lei before, and knew that there was no point in continuing to stay here as a god's nightmare.

Second Master also brought Huangfu Hua directly back to the clan, and the entire atmosphere within the clan became extremely secretive.

"Huangfu Hua, didn't you say that you have to win it this time? You even brought the Second Master over.

The one who spoke was Huangfu Hua's third uncle. In the entire clan, aside from the current generation in the Second Master, in Huangfu Hua's current generation, besides his father being the Patriarch of the Huangfu Family, there was only his third uncle's ambition.

Huangfu Hua had always been viewed as the hope of the next generation of the Huangfu Family Clan.

"Elder, you can see it now, we have invested so much, do you really think this Huangfu Hua has the ability to do so? Even my second brother, I feel that he isn't suitable for the position of Patriarch?"

Third Uncle had to endure for a long time. Finally, this was the chance he had been waiting for. He seized the moment to ask the elders, "What do you think?"

"Yes."

The Elder didn't say anything. He only replied with a "En." However, this single phrase caused everyone present to become even more nervous.

"No, no, Elder, it's really not my problem. When I was at the villa, it was the Second Master that restricted my movement, if it wasn't for the fact that the Second Master restricted my movement, I would have already succeeded a few days ago. I don't even have to wait until now."

An Elder's Huangfu Family was a very special existence. Under normal circumstances, matters regarding the entire Huangfu Family would have nothing to do with him, as they were all the meritorious ministers from the early stages of Huangfu Family.

Only, their greatest strength lay in who exactly was the Patriarch who held the Huangfu Family.

"Is that so?"

The clan elder squinted his eyes and turned to look in the direction of the Second Master.

"Elder, please listen to my explanation!"

Second Master also instantly became very flustered as he quickly said this.

Huangfu Hua really had no other choice. If he did not say such words at this time, he was sure that he would be the one to blame for all the failures.

At that time, not only would his identity as the next successor be revoked, even his father's family head would be implicated.

Thinking about it this way, the gains were still not worth it.

There was no other way, Huangfu Hua could only say that he wanted Second Master to take the blame for him.

"Alright, alright. I know that each of you have your own reasons. When I go back, each of you should write something down for me. I have my own judgment."

After the elder finished speaking, he returned to his room with the help of a servant.

"Huangfu Hua, you sure have some skills."

After the elder left, Second Master looked at Huangfu Hua, his eyes filled with anger.

"If it wasn't for you being so reckless and being discovered at night using that kind of method, would I have had to make such a decision!?"

Huangfu Hua knew that he was in the wrong and did not say anything.

"Second Master, I know that you are doing this for our benefit, but Hua'er was just a little anxious just now, I hope that you can forgive me."

Huangfu Hua's father quickly came over to smooth things over, but at this time, Third Uncle walked over to the side of a few people, first bowing towards Second Master, then saying, "Second Master is so bent, some people still don't know what's good for them, truly disheartened."

"Huangfu Shocking Waves! "Shut up!"

The Huangfu Family Master looked at his third brother and said angrily.

"Are they desperate now? Second brother, this is not how you act, Second Master is a great benefactor of our Huangfu Family, yet you two, father and son, are treating him like this.

Huangfu gave a few loud laughs, then looked at Second Master and said: "Second Master, let's go, we should discuss what we should do next."

Looking at the back view of Second Master and Huangfu leaving in a flash, Huangfu Hua and his son were filled with fear.

"What should I do now?"

"What should we do?"

The Patriarch slapped Huangfu Hua on the face and said angrily: "You did such a foolish thing in the villa and you even said bad things about the Second Master just now. If the Second Master isn't on our side, what will you do?!
