244 Unique Taste
The Lei family was originally the ruler of the Lei Continent. A hundred years ago, they were usurped by someone and became a mere noble family in the Lei Continent.
The Lei family had suffered for many years and had always wanted to seize back the throne, but they had never succeeded.
The Lei family had originally hoped that the family head of this generation would be able to shoulder this heavy responsibility. Unexpectedly, before the family head’s ascension ceremony was even completed, the future family head died in the imperial capital!
This was also the reason why the Lei family’s First Elder risked his life to find the murderer.
In order to fight for the throne, the Lei family naturally spread their bloodline branches throughout the Lei Continent and the five continents in order to accumulate strength and pursue greater ambitions.
Kong Rui originally thought that the Lei family would only cause trouble at Fragrant Garden, until Kong Rui inadvertently smelled a unique scent on this waiter at the Tianxiang Restaurant that day.
Kong Rui had once smelled that scent in the Li family’s home’s ancestral hall. Although the smell was tainted with the strong smell of blood, Kong Rui still remembered it immediately.
It was because the smell was really unique and it was the smell that the Poison Master had been searching many years for!
Therefore, Kong Rui immediately recognized that the waiter smelled exactly the same!
As for whether the Lei family controlled the Tianxiang Restaurant or if this waiter was the only member of the Lei family, Kong Rui still didn’t know.
She called the waiter over today to get some information from him.
Kong Rui waved the waist token in her hand. “Your totem looks very strange. It looks like the Lei family’s totem, but it’s a little different! Where did this waist totem come from?”
The waiter blinked. “This, this was left behind by a guest that day… I saw that this waist token was really beautiful, so I secretly hid it! I didn’t know that this waist token had such a meaning!”
As the waiter spoke, he actually cried with an aggrieved expression.
When Kong Rui saw the waiter crying, she raised her eyebrows. Clearly, she didn’t believe him.
However, she didn’t continue to ask about the waist token. She just kept it in her palm.

She let go of the waiter and took half a step back. “You said that your boss hasn’t been to the shop for a few days. Do you know where he went?” Not planning to let go of any change in his expression, Kong Rui stared at the waiter.

The waiter’s eyes darted around, and his frightened expression was instantly replaced by nervousness. However, it was only for a moment. In the next moment, the waiter recovered his frightened expression.
This time, Kong Rui was very sure that the waiter was pretending to be afraid!
The waiter clasped his palms together as he begged for mercy. “I-I really don’t know where my boss has been these past few days! I just heard that my boss seemed to have offended someone, so he went into hiding!”
Kong Rui raised her eyebrows slightly and crossed her arms in front of her chest as she looked at the waiter silently.
The waiter swallowed hard and lowered his eyes. After a while, he said, “I’m telling the truth! I really don’t know…”
“You don’t know where your boss went, but you’re still working in the shop every day?” Kong Rui chuckled and questioned, “It seems that you can handle business very well even if your boss isn’t around. Your boss made the right choice by hiring you!”
The waiter immediately lowered his head and shook his head vigorously. “I’m just doing my job!”
“Doing your job? To gather information?” Kong Rui continued to ask. Her unexpected words frightened the waiter so much that he suddenly looked up at Kong Rui.
The waiter was stunned for a moment before replying, “I don’t know what you’re talking about! Why gather information?!”
Kong Rui had a smile on her face as she looked at the waiter, as if she had seen through everything. “You don’t have to be so nervous. I was just asking!”
The waiter was obviously relieved.

Unexpectedly, Kong Rui continued, “You smell a little special. Do you use spices?”
The waiter was stunned for a moment. Then, he frowned as he asked, “Scent? What spice? I’ve never used any spices before!”
Kong Rui sized up the waiter from top to bottom before continuing to ask, “Are you really not a member of the Lei family?”
The waiter was on the brink of tears.
He raised one hand to his ear and pointed at the sky as he swore “I swear to the heavens that I’m definitely not from the Lei family! Please let me go! I really don’t know anything!”
