After Shi Hongda fell silent, Huang Zhendong clutched his head and took a moment to compose himself before saying, "Elder Shi, let's leave it at that for today."
"You're tired, too. Go back and get some rest."
"Yes, Family Head."
Shi Hongda nodded slightly, offering no objection. In fact, his gaze toward Huang Zhendong held a trace of pity and commiseration.
Truthfully, his main purpose in coming over tonight wasn't to deliver a report. He had planned to discuss making Hua Xingxue the Hall Master with Huang Zhendong. But seeing how deeply agitated Huang Zhendong already was, he feared the man might go into shock if he brought it up now. So, he could only let it go for the time being.
After Shi Hongda stood up and left, Huang Zhendong walked back to his study, his expression gradually darkening. He sat at his desk in silence, his thoughts a mystery.
"Do you think he might be disloyal?"
