BXBX NOVEL Chapter 168: After the exam (3)
His face also turned dark as he asked, "What\'s wrong?"
Zhao Kui hesitated to speak at first, but in the end he still said, "Are you certain that her name is Long Shui Ling?"
His father\'s expression turned even darker when he heard this. His father wasn\'t a fool, so he was able to tell that there was something wrong the moment that he heard this.
"What did you do?" Zhao Kui\'s father said in a deep voice.
Zhao Kui had the same ugly look on his face as he took a deep breath and said, "I might have figured out who it is that\'s attacking our Zhao Group…"
As his voice trailed off, Zhao Kui\'s father suddenly slammed his fist down on the table as he roared, "This brat! You actually…!"
He didn\'t get to finish what he wanted to say as he suddenly clutched his chest.
When Zhao Kui and his older brother saw this, both of them quickly came forward to support him. However, when his father saw him coming over, he suddenly punched Zhao Kui in the face.
After punching him, his father roared out, "This little b*stard! Do you even have eyes! This wastrel is doing everything that he can to destroy our family!"
Zhao Kui fell to the ground and held his face with an aggrieved look, but he didn\'t dare say anything.
He knew that this was his fault, so there wasn\'t anything that he could say even if he wanted to say something.
It was his older brother who broke the silence that followed by saying, "Father, please calm down. You know that with your blood pressure, you can\'t get agitated like this."
Zhao Kui\'s father was still clutching his chest and panting, but with the urges of his older brother, his father sat down in the end.
His older brother went to get some medicine and some water for his father before saying, "For now, we should think of a way to solve this problem."
After taking the medicine and taking a deep breath to calm down, Zhao Kui\'s father gave a nod of agreement and said, "What do you propose?"
This was where Zhao Kui\'s older brother fell silent.
Even if he wanted to say something, there was nothing for him to say since he didn\'t have any ideas.
If he did, he would have already given them earlier.
So the room fell into an awkward silence.
That was until Zhao Kui said, "I have an idea."
When Zhao Kui\'s father heard this, he immediately slapped the table again and shouted, "Haven\'t you already caused enough trouble?! You want to play around even more!"
One moment he had been praising him and the next, he was scolding him like this.
It was like he had turned into a completely different person.
But that just went to show how serious this situation was.
His older brother once again came forward to hold his father back as he said, "Father, let\'s not be hasty. Let\'s hear what Xiao Kui has to say first before we make a decision."
Zhao Kui\'s father gave a snort and turned his head, but he still sat down as if he was waiting for Zhao Kui to give his idea.
Zhao Kui gave his older brother a grateful look before saying, "There was someone who was with Long Shui Ling during the exam, it seemed like they were quite close."
Both of them immediately knitted their brows when they heard this as they fell into thought.
This…was a double edged sword.
If they really went down this path, then there would definitely be no way of reconciling with the Long Family after this.
But if they didn\'t take this path, their Zhao Group would be destroyed.
In the end, Zhao Kui\'s father said, "Who is it?"
With this, he had made his decision.
It would all be over if the Zhao Group was destroyed, so for now…it was better to take the path that had less consequences.
Zhao Kui\'s eyes lit up when he heard this before he told them about Lin Fan.
After hearing this, Zhao Kui\'s father turned to his older brother and said, "How long will it take to get this information?"
His older brother hesitated for a minute before looking at the clock and saying, "I\'ll try for under an hour, but it\'ll be hard."
Zhao Kui\'s father just gave a sigh and said, "Do what you can."
His older brother gave a nod before leaving the room.
Seeing him leave, Zhao Kui had an excited look.
He had planned on taking revenge on Lin Fan in the first place, so now that it had coincided with this, it really was the best case scenario for him.
He couldn\'t wait to see Lin Fan again.
…
Fifty minutes later, his older brother came back with an ugly look on his face.
When Zhao Kui\'s father saw this expression on his face, he also revealed an ugly look before saying, "What\'s the damage?"
His older brother shook his head and said, "It\'s not good, not good at all."
Then he placed the folder that he had been holding in his hand in front of his father.
Zhao Kui\'s father picked it up right away and as he read it, his expression became more and more ugly.
Zhao Kui had been indulging in his fantasies of taking revenge on Lin Fan, but he was also pulled back to reality when he saw this.
He could tell that something was wrong.
Before he could say anything, Zhao Kui\'s father suddenly threw this folder in Zhao Kui\'s face and roared, "You useless thing! You really are something, aren\'t you?"
Zhao Kui was bewildered seeing this reaction from his father, but he looked down at the folder that had been thrown at him.
He knew that whatever had caused his father to act this way was written on this folder.
As he read what was written, he couldn\'t help being shocked. He couldn\'t help muttering, "Impossible."
"Impossible?" Zhao Kui\'s father asked, "There\'s nothing impossible in this world!"
He slammed his fist down and roared, "Not only did you offend the Long Family, you even dragged Elementia into this!"
"I, I, I…" Zhao Kui stammered as he didn\'t know how to respond.
He never thought that poor looking man named Lin Fan would actually be someone from Elementia, one of the biggest guilds in the world!
How could that be possible?
But then again, if he wasn\'t…that wouldn\'t have explained his performance during the exam…
His older brother raised his hand and said, "Father, please calm down or you\'ll hurt yourself again."
Zhao Kui\'s father took a deep breath before pointing at the door, "Leave, I don\'t want to see you right now."
Zhao Kui opened and closed his mouth a few times before lowering his head and walking out.
After he closed the door behind him, there was only silence that lingered in the air in the room.
But after a while his older brother said, "Father, should we consider cutting Zhao Kui off?"
