"Uncle Yu, what is the meaning of this?" Huayu Rong asked politely, as he was, after all, looked after by Uncle Yu since a young age.
"Young Master..." After taking Huayu Rong to a secluded corner, Uncle Yu looked around nervously and then spoke to him with grave seriousness, "The Patriarch's death was suspicious..."
