Death Flute
Wu Kui Fang Defending Sam Hui

Kui Fang was pensive in his room. Today it has been almost two weeks that he has not met Chien Wan. She was very disappointed that her father did not allow her to come with Wen Chiang to attend Ting Ting and Fei Yu's wedding. Then he must be content to just send a letter to his lover only.

Heart's fidgeting. Besides being worried by his longing for Chien Wan, he was also worried about Sam Hui. What the hell is going on? Why did Sam Hui's position now become so uncomfortable in his party? Though all this time, it was Wie Yun Cun who was always looking for trouble with all party members.

Wie Yun Cun was indeed disliked by almost all party members because he was always willing to win by himself and felt the truest himself. While Sam Hui liked all members including the Wu family itself because he was a kindhearted and big-spirited.

But why is it now like this?

“This can't be left!” yells.

Brak!

The room door opened, making Kui Fang flinch and immediately jump to his feet.

It turned out that the one who entered was Lan Sie, one of his father's men.

Kui Fang frowned unhappily. He was angry that Lan Sie dared to enter his room without knocking on the door first. “What's up, Brother Lan? Why did you enter my room without being told?”

Lan Sie looked down. In his heart he was vehemently reprimanded like that by a snot like Kui Fang. However, he was a member of Chairman Wu and Kui Fang was the daughter of the chairman. He did not dare to look for trouble with Kui Fang.

“I'm sorry, Miss Wu.”

Kui Fang sighed. “Already. What's up, Brother Lan?”

“So I happened to be passing by here and heard Miss screaming. I was worried, so I entered without knocking on the door. Again, forgive me,” pinta Lan Sie.

Kui Fang felt uneasy about having been rude towards the men who were clearly paying attention to him. “Oh, so. I'm fine, Brother Lan. I was just talking to myself.”

“Really?”

“True. Never mind, don't worry.”

Lan Sie sighed and nodded. “Alright, Miss. Excuse me first. If there's anything, just yell at me. I'm standing guard around here.”

Kui Fang nodded.

Lan Sie left Kui Fang's room and closed the door very slowly.

Kui Fang looked at Lan Sie's departure until the door of the room closed. He stood up and went out of the room to look for Sam Hui.

He found Sam Hui standing in the garden. Both hands are on his chest.

The middle-aged man looked moping. His shoulders drooped as if he was holding a very heavy load. His wrinkled face looked much older than his actual age.

Kui Fang approached and stood beside Sam Hui.

“Uncle Sam.”

Sam Hui looked surprised. Due to daydreaming, he was unable to hear the movements beside him. “Eh, Miss.”

“I hope Uncle is not discouraged from accepting Dad's attitude. I'm sure Dad didn't mean that at all. Father will never doubt Uncle's loyalty,” said Kui Fang.

“It's okay, Miss.” Sam Hui smiled.

Kui Fang sighed. “But... why did the unpleasant news appear?”

“Entah.”

“Does anyone not like Uncle?”

Sam Hui smirked, but did not answer.

“And about the news that... Uncle and Mom..?”

Sam Hui reacted strongly. “Do not continue, Miss!”

Kui Fang was flabbergasted.

“The news was spread to bring me down. But if the problem is already concerning the unpleasant gossip about my relationship with Madam, it is an insult!” Sam Hui gasped. “I have great respect for your father and mother. It didn't cross my mind to betray your father by liking your mother like a man to a woman. It not only insulted me, but also demeaned your mother!”

Sam Hui became somewhat calm.

“Now the most important thing is to find out who the person who spread the irresponsible gossip is. After that, then we can take the next action,” proposed Kui Fang.

“Nona.” Sam Hui turned serious. “I hope Miss does not involve herself in this matter,” she said sharply.

“What do you mean, Uncle?”

“I beg!” Sam Hui looked at Kui Fang sharply mixed in anxiety.

Kui Fang said nothing. Just nod while holding back the protest that was already at the end of his tongue.

“Dad, why would you behave like that to Uncle Sam?” ask Kui Fang tomorrow. At that time he deliberately went to the room of his father and mother when it was still morning. He did not want anyone else to be involved in their conversation, especially Wie Yun Cun. He always had deep suspicions about the man.

Chairman Wu glanced at his daughter briefly before turning his face away. “I don't like his attitude.”

“Which attitude? He will always be courteous and loyal to Father.”

“Kui Fang,” reprimand Lady Wu gently. His body was still a bit weak as it had only recovered from the prolonged illness. She did not want her husband to argue with their son.

“Kui Fang, I know how sorry you are to Sam Hui. But you should know. The last two months, exactly after you left with Chien Wan, something has happened.” Chairman Wu looked at his daughter seriously. “Sam Hui's attitude is very suspicious. He always peeked at my activities, eavesdropped on people's conversations, followed me wherever I went. He also began to dare to look for trouble with other members, especially Yun Cun.”

Kui Fang shook his head. “Since Uncle Wie was a bitch, Dad. It's not just Uncle Sam who doesn't like it. Neither do I.”

“Added again by the rumors circulating about Sam Hui,” added Chairman Wu. His wife looked sad. Because of the gossip, Madam Wu became anxious for a long time and eventually fell ill. Of course the rumors are not true at all. But enough to make them hit.

“All this is just because of the gossip that came out of nowhere,” continued Kui Fang without concern for his mother's reprimand. “Uncle Sam's been with us for decades, Dad. Don't just because some gossip alone the value immediately dropped in the eyes of Father.”

Chairman Wu sighed. “Already, Kui Fang. Don't interfere in party affairs.”

“Dad, this party is my party too!”

“You're still too small. After you get married, this party is not your home anymore. Nada Valley that will be your home.”

Her father's words made Kui Fang's face somewhat flushed.

“Even maybe soon we will have the arrival of a group from Nada Valley who came to propose you,” said Chairman Wu. This time with a seductive smile.

“It's not that easy, Dad.”

“Eh, why?”

“Kakak Wan will definitely not want to get married before he managed to solve the problem that befell Bukit Merak. They vowed to search for Chi Meng Huan and take revenge for the death of 23 members of Wisma Bambu,” said Kui Fang. “And I will always support all the decisions made by Sister Wan.”

Chairman Wu looked at his wife.

“What if they don't manage to get revenge? Are you going to wait for him forever?” asked Madam Wu worriedly.

Kui Fang nodded.

“Have they got any certainty where Chi Meng Huan is?” ask Chairman Wu seriously.

“I don't know. Maybe not, maybe not yet. The problem is that I will part ways with them after we have just set foot on the Tionggoan Mainland again. I haven't had a chance to talk to them.”

Chairman Wu nodded.

“If our own party is not going through this kind of trouble, maybe we can also help spread spies to find out the whereabouts of Chi Meng Huan. The problem is, our own party is in chaos.”

“I don't like this situation, Father.” Kui Fang complained sadly.

“It's not just you who don't like this situation, Kui Fang. I really don't want this to happen. But what else to do?” Chairman Wu frowned confusedly.

Kui Fang grimaced.
