Chapter 1607

Baili Xia saw Mu Dongyu, Mu Lingchuan, and Mu Xiaoyao, and because she had to stand against them, it was a situation she was not happy to see.

She gently pushed aside the people in front of her and stepped forward.

“Sir, you don’t have to blame the eldest brother or the second brother, I really didn’t do it.”

“I just knew that the old master recently didn’t have much appetite and was worried for his health, so I cooked for him.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Feng Gang and the maid and said calmly, “You can ask Housekeeper Feng and this maid about it.”

Feng Gang immediately spoke up, “Yes, sir, because the previous chef has been on leave these past few days, the meals recently haven’t suited the master’s taste.”

Although the maid was displeased with Baili Xia implying everyone was a suspect, she didn’t want to distort the truth in the face of facts.

She stepped forward and added, “Miss Xiaxia cooked according to Chef Wang’s previous recipes, and the master ate a lot today.”

They had been at the Mu Mansion for quite some time and couldn’t tell who was right or wrong, but they would surely speak the truth about what they saw and heard.

After listening to them, Mu Dongyu snorted coldly.

“Even if what they say is true, so what?”

“The old master had reprimanded you before and exposed your false identity; you must harbor resentment against him.”

“No matter how pitiful you act or how much you show concern for the old master, we don’t believe it, the poison must have been administered by you.”

He wanted to walk over and apprehend Baili Xia.

But when he looked at Mu Lingchuan, Mu Xiaoyao, and Zimo behind her, he stayed his steps.

With them there, he was helpless.

He didn’t want to clash with the two sons.

Recently, too many things had happened to the Mu family, and he didn’t want to make more enemies.

Especially now, with his current shares at stake.

Since Xiaoyao and Lingchuan also held shares in the Mu Group, Mu Dongyu could only count on them to regain his footing in the Mu Group.

So, for now, his two sons were still targets he needed to win over.

“I know you both have feelings for your Uncle Mu Xiaojiu, but let’s get things straight: if someone wants to harm your grandfather, would you still do nothing?”

The hard approach wasn’t working; he had to soften his stance.

Unexpectedly, Mu Xiaoyao calmly said, “Uncle has never intended to harm the Mu family, Dad, you’re misunderstanding him.”

“You brat! Who is your father?” His few words immediately agitated Mu Dongyu.

His own son was taking someone else’s side, making him feel like a complete failure as a father!

Looking again at Baili Xia, still guarded by his two sons, infuriated Mu Dongyu even more.

“Someone, call the police, let them take her away for questioning.”

Mu Dongyu, exasperated, had no choice but to seek help from the police.

Only by having Baili Xia taken away by the police could he do something about it.

However, no one present showed any response.

Seeing how the situation had evolved, Feng Gang hurriedly pushed the old master’s bedroom door open and went inside.

The others either stared at him expressionlessly or hung their heads motionless.

This scene made Mu Dongyu even more furious.

He shouted angrily again, “What, have you all turned against me?

Call the police and take her away!”

“Baili Xia is a suspect; anyone daring to harbor the culprit will face charges together with her.

Do you want to be taken back to the police station?”

Had he been absent from the main residence for so long that everyone thought he had no weight in this household?
