Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband!-Chapter 515 - 516 Strange Couple 6

Huo Shaohua’s eyes turned sharp the moment he saw the pattern on the paper.

This was the same pattern that had appeared during the tragic incident involving the Huo Family years ago.

That incident had caused a huge uproar, resulting in countless casualties in both the Huo and Li Families.

The Huo Family ancestors had meticulously recorded the details and the origins of that incident in a book.

Although the years had worn it down, the book had long become tattered.

The patterns from the book were re-documented in a new book, but the content had never changed.

The book had this pattern, but the patriarch of the Huo Family at that time didn’t know what it meant.

He recorded it down exactly as it was, thinking it might be useful someday.

Unexpectedly, seeing this pattern today suggested that there might have been a third family involved in the events of that year!

Not just the Huo and Li Families.

"Are you sure the pattern on that woman’s wrist is this one?"

"Don’t doubt my memory." Li Zhiting confidently curled his lips.

"You are a descendant of the Li Family." Huo Shaohua stated affirmatively, based on the constant confrontations between him and Li Zhiting during this period.

He was already certain that Li Zhiting was indeed a descendant of the Li Family, who had a blood feud with the Huo Family.

"Yes." Li Zhiting admitted openly.

"What’s your purpose in getting close to her?" Huo Shaohua narrowed his eyes, looking sidelong at Li Zhiting. He was indeed from the Li Family.

Ever since Li Zhiting appeared, he had opposed him at every turn, and now he was getting close to Tian Xingyun and her mother.

The purpose was evident - it had to be for revenge!

"What other purpose can a man have in getting close to a woman?" Li Zhiting curved his lips, his gaze towards Huo Shaohua full of provocation.

He admitted that initially, he intended to use Tian Xingyun to get close to Huo Shaohua for revenge.

But later, he found that this woman was foolish yet kind.

He couldn’t bear to use her; he genuinely became her friend.

After spending time with her, he realized that his initial decision to not use her was the right one.

Huo Shaohua’s brows twitched, his gaze turned dangerous. The provocation in Li Zhiting’s eyes was not about a family feud.

Rather, it was the look of a man in love, seeing him as a rival!

"She won’t be with you." He smiled confidently.

No matter who pursued her, she wouldn’t agree to be with them.

Because she had promised him that she wouldn’t be with any man for six years.

"Then let time prove everything!" Li Zhiting said confidently.

"Private matters aside, let’s talk about this pattern. Your family must have mentioned it, right?" Huo Shaohua returned to the topic at hand; now was not the time for emotional discussions.

They needed to eliminate this danger first before they could deal with their personal feelings in peace.

"They mentioned it but very rarely. The family book records that those who died in that incident had this pattern on their bodies." Li Zhiting squinted his eyes as he answered. His childhood was almost entirely centered around this matter.

His grandmother always reminded him not to forget the family feud!

All Huo Family members deserved to die.

"The records are similar. My family’s book also notes that this pattern appeared on the bodies of the deceased." Huo Shaohua’s tone was heavy. Could this pattern signify another family?

What could be the purpose of this family’s current appearance?

Could it also be because of the events of that year?

"We need to go home and check the records to know for sure. I’m afraid these people mean no good."

"Are you scared?" Huo Shaohua raised an eyebrow, his tone provocative and mocking.

"I’m looking forward to facing an opponent stronger than myself." Li Zhiting said arrogantly and confidently, believing that only a strong opponent could enhance his combat skills. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Facing weaker opponents would only lower his combat ability and waste his time.

"I’m looking forward to their next move." Huo Shaohua said calmly, anticipating the adversary’s next action.
