CHAPTER 500: CHAPTER 500: HE STILL HATES THIS FAMILY

Yan Qianyi hurriedly took out a pill, "Grandfather, please take this medicine first."

Old Master Mu felt like he was about to run out of breath and hastily swallowed the pill Yan Qianyi had handed him, which seemed to help him recover slightly.

But his face was still pale, and he looked as if he had aged considerably in an instant.

"Grandfather, since the truth has already come to light, let me help you back to your room to rest first. We can handle the rest after you’ve had some rest."

Old Master Mu weakly nodded his head.

If it weren’t for the pill that Yan Qianyi had given him just now, he felt that he would have been enraged to death.

Mu Feng was his most beloved son!

Mu Feng had been very intelligent since he was a child, and his abilities grew even more outstanding compared to his brothers as he matured!

To think that he had died at the hands of his own elder brother...

When he had to bury his own son with white hair, he was in so much agony that he wished for death himself.

And now, understanding the truth, his pain was in no way less than the heartbreak of losing his son all those years ago!

After Yan Qianyi helped Old Master Mu leave, Mu Zixuan said, "Such hypocrisy! If she hadn’t meddled, would our family be in the state it is now?"

"Shut your mouth!" Mu Kang roared at his daughter.

At this moment, he was the angriest person present. If it weren’t for the fourth brother holding him back, he truly wanted to beat the second brother to death!

Of all his younger brothers, Mu Kang’s favorite was the third one, Mu Feng.

When they were children, Mu Feng had even saved his life.

Therefore, over the years, he had been looking forward to Mu Yunlie’s return to the Mu Family, even though Mu Yunlie’s presence would take away the inheritance rights of his own son, Mu Zicheng.

After Yan Qianyi accompanied Old Master Mu back to his room, Mu Ziqing stayed outside with Yan Chuhua.

Inside the bedroom.

Yan Qianyi said guiltily, "Grandfather, I’m sorry to have caused you such sorrow."

"Foolish child, the person who has hurt my heart is not you, but that beast Mu Chen!" Old Master Mu tearfully choked out, "I must also thank you for exposing his true face. Otherwise, my poor third son’s death would have been so wronged! Before falling from the building, he surely never imagined that his own elder brother would have such a murderous intent towards him."

"It is the Mu Family who has wronged Ah Lie, Qianyi. Does he still utterly hate everyone in the Mu Family?"

Yan Qianyi pursed her lips, unsure of how to respond.

From the way Mu Yunlie mentioned the Mu family every time, it was clear that he indeed despised the Mu family members.

She didn’t want to make the old man sad again, but she also didn’t want to deceive him.

So, she said, "Ah Lie left the Mu Family at a very young age, so he might not have such deep feelings for the Mu Family. But I believe that, in time, he will understand your kindness, realizing truly how much you care for and cherish him."

"He didn’t even show up in person for such an important matter today. After all, he still hates this home, so much so that he doesn’t even want to show his face, letting only you handle it."

"He couldn’t come today because he really was busy. Once he’s done, he will come to visit you."

Old Master Mu nodded, "With his status, to make a person disappear from this world is just a matter of flipping a hand; he didn’t need to provide irrefutable evidence to make me believe. That he was willing to do this, I’m already very comforted. Please convey to him that I will definitely give him a satisfactory resolution to this matter."

"Alright." Yan Qianyi nodded, a bit puzzled in her heart.

Mu Yunlie was a soldier from the Special Department. Could he really so casually decide someone’s life or death?

But, given his resolute and decisive nature, the fact that he was willing to slowly gather evidence truly showed that he didn’t completely disregard the Mu Family.

Old Master Mu asked, "By the way, your mother’s death, is it really related to Xu Zhiqiang?"

"Yes, I restored the surveillance footage from that year; it was indeed him who tampered with my mother’s car."

"And it was because of that car accident that you fell into a coma?"

"Yes."

Old Master Mu let out a long sigh, "I’m sorry..."

"This has nothing to do with you."

"But Xu Zhiqiang was indeed one of our Mu Family’s people; he was an orphan, and I adopted him when he was still in swaddling clothes. He did such a thing, and I am responsible too."

Yan Qianyi asked, "Then do you know where he is now?"

"I don’t know. He suddenly left two years ago, without leaving a single word. At that time, I just considered him an ingrate and didn’t look for him. Do you now suspect that it was someone from our Mu Family who instructed him to do that?"

Yan Qianyi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

After all, Xu Zhiqiang was one of the Mu Family’s people, and she couldn’t think of anyone else but the Mu Family’s people who could have instructed him.

Besides, Xu Zhiqiang had no grudge against her mother, so it couldn’t have been something he did on his own initiative.

Old Master Mu said, "That unfilial son just denied it, and he even dared to let Princess Chu Hua continue with the hypnosis, which shows it wasn’t him."

"Yes, I also believe that he didn’t lie just now."

"Do you still have any other suspects?" Old Master Mu asked.

Yan Qianyi thought for a moment and, looking at Old Master Mu’s haggard face, she didn’t have the heart to speak the name of Mu Huaner, shaking her head, she said, "I don’t know..."

After all, she didn’t have any evidence right now to prove it was Mu Huaner.

Old Master Mu was already very upset, and she didn’t want to sprinkle salt on his wounds at this time.

"I will also look into this matter and will definitely give you an explanation."

"Thank you, Grandfather, please take some time to rest."

"Are you leaving?"

"I’m not leaving. Ah Lie just messaged me asking if I’m still here, he said he would come to pick me up."

Old Master Mu’s eyes regained some sparkle, "Ah Lie is coming? Then I won’t sleep, I’ll wait for him."

"You rest first, and when he arrives, I will call you."

"Okay, but you must definitely wake me up, I want to talk to him," Old Master Mu said, his face showing signs of weariness.

The pill Yan Qianyi gave him earlier had the effect of soothing the mind and protecting the heart, which made it easy to feel drowsy after taking it.

After Old Master Mu closed his eyes, Yan Qianyi stood up and walked out.

Mu Ziqing and Yan Chuhua were waiting outside; seeing Yan Qianyi come out, Mu Ziqing asked worriedly, "How is Grandfather?"

"He’s emotionally stable now and resting."

"That’s good," Mu Ziqing sighed, "The matter with my second uncle has been a huge blow to our family; I’m really worried that Grandfather won’t be able to bear it."

"Don’t worry. Grandfather has been a dominant force in the business world for decades, he’s developed a strong heart and won’t easily fall. Big sister, thank you for standing up earlier and testifying."

"Ah, don’t be polite with me. Second uncle plotted against third uncle; there’s no reason to let him continue to get off scot-free. To think I’ve lived under the same roof with second uncle for so many years, it scares me now to think about it."

Yan Qianyi gently patted Mu Ziqing’s shoulder, "I know that revealing the true face of second uncle has caused pain for everyone in the family, but it’s something that we must confront. How to deal with second uncle next will be up to Grandfather and Ah Lie to decide."

Mu Ziqing said, "I’m actually okay, but I can see that it’s quite hard on my dad."

"You should go back and keep him company. I’ll wait here for Ah Lie."
