"Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you!"

After releasing his hand, Li Ru couldn't help but remind Li Hong once again.

"Yes, but Uncle, why is the shopkeeper doing this?" Li Hong quickly nodded her head. Seeing Li Ru's expression, she knew that the matter was definitely not as simple as she thought.

"Because the poison master..."

Li Ru didn't expect that after ten years, he would actually hear this name again here. Moreover …

Looking at the three veiled women in front of him, Li Ru couldn't help but think back to that rainy day ten years ago when he saw that woman in white at the gate of that house …

That person was a poison master!

"Uncle?" "Uncle!"

Just as Li Hong was full of energy listening to him, she suddenly didn't hear him anymore. Seeing that he seemed to be immersed in his memories, she hurriedly shouted a few times.

It was also Li Hong's few shouts that pulled Li Ru back from his memories. After seeing that he was his nephew, he subconsciously asked, "What's wrong, Hong'er?"

"…" Li Hong looked at Li Ru speechlessly. How long has it been since they last spoke?

He looked at his uncle, who seemed to be in his forties or fifties. He was an upright middle-aged man, so how could his memory be so poor?

"Uncle, what did you mean by 'poison master'?" Li Hong couldn't help but quickly say it.

"Oh, it's like that. This poison master isn't like the shopkeeper said. He's actually responsible for the poison." After Li Ru heard this, the image of the white-clothed female quickly flashed through his mind.

He was dressed in white, his face cold and indifferent. He looked like someone who didn't care for the world, but he killed people without batting an eyelid. He didn't hold back at all with poison.

"Then what is the purpose of this poison master here?" Hearing that, Li Hong's interest was piqued and she couldn't help but to ask.

"This poison master, his intentions are the same as on the surface. He's a poison master, and one that forges his own poison." Li Ru explained his own understanding. The reason he knew about this poison master was because he had met him ten years ago.

Furthermore, he had witnessed the entire process of the poison master destroying a large clan.

However, Li Ru couldn't reveal the truth, because that poison master … He had placed the Truths Gu in his body, and if he spoke the truth, then what awaited him would be sudden death.

He was still young, and he did not want to die so early, so for the past ten years, he had kept this secret. Even if he had nightmares at night, he could only keep it up until it was brought into the coffin.

Even though he knew that this was unfair to the people of that large clan back then, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, this was the reality and cruelty of this world.

People should not commit suicide!

"What?" This poison master is actually such a person? "

After hearing Li Ru's explanation, Li Hong felt a chill down her spine as she looked at the veiled lady in front of her. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

"This Poison Master is actually such a terrifying person. Why didn't the shopkeeper tell us the truth?" instead of deceiving us? "

After a while, Li Hong turned her head to look at Li Ru and angrily asked.

"Hong'er, think about it, there are so many people here, and everyone's identity is already there. If the shopkeeper were to openly tell the truth, then it will definitely cause more panic than the assassination attempt!"

Hearing this, Li Ru shook his head and patted Li Hong's shoulder, explaining each word very clearly, "So, the shopkeeper actually did this to protect everyone, so Hong'er and the rest of you should remember this. You can only hold everything you heard in your stomach and not let it out!"

Li Ru warned, pointing at Li Shu and the others who were surrounding them.

"Did you hear that?"

"Yes, uncle." Li Hong nodded and said.

"If I hear about it from father, I won't tell anyone." Li Shu promised.

Seeing that his son and nephew had promised, Li Ru nodded his head in satisfaction. As for his sister, there was no need to mention it. She definitely wouldn't go out and gossip. He knew this very well.

"Oh yeah, Uncle, we don't even know who this poison master is, how did you know?"

Suddenly, Li Hong curiously asked as she looked at Li Ru.

These words caused Li Ru to be stunned for a moment. His thoughts unavoidably drifted back to the rainy night ten years ago. He subconsciously replied, "That's because ten years ago, I …"

"Ah …"

Just as Li Ru spoke a few words, he suddenly felt something gnawing on his chest, as if a bug was continuously eating his heart.

"It's the Gu of Truth!" Li Ru understood that his subconscious response just now had triggered the Gu's attack. He never thought that the Gu's attack was just to bite his heart!

If his heart was eaten, he would die!

"I don't know. I don't know anything. Stop!" Li Ru clutched his chest. The sudden pain caused him to fall on the square table, causing all of the food on the table to fall to the ground.

This movement was not small and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Stop, hurry up and stop!" Li Ru closed his eyes and bit his lips tightly. He pressed both hands against his chest as he muttered to himself, "I won't say it. I really won't say it. It was just an accident this time. And I didn't say anything!"

"Stop! Ahhh!"

"Li Shaoqing, what happened?" Are you okay? "

The shopkeeper had naturally noticed the commotion on Li Ru's side. When he saw Li Ru lying motionless on the table, his expression changed as he hurried over and asked nervously.

This Li Ru is the Supreme Court's Shaoqing, if anything were to happen to him here, their wan chun tang must not be shunned!

The other members of the Lee family were also shocked by Li Ru's sudden appearance, especially Li Hong who had asked that question earlier. He was even more frightened because he realized that it was exactly this question that had caused his uncle to leave Xi'an!

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" "Don't let anything happen to him!"

Li Hong asked anxiously.

"Dad, don't let anything happen to us!" "Father!" Li Shu was standing at the side. He was anxious and scared. Li Ru was the pillar of support for their family. They had better not let anything happen to him!

"Little brother …" Li Hong's mother also looked at Li Ru anxiously, but because she was truly helpless, she was unable to do anything.
