Chapter 1648

She once thought that Uncle’s heart was too cold and even doubted that Uncle’s feelings for her were too light.

But at this moment, she finally understood what Uncle was truly after.

Money was enough for him; he was really just seeking revenge, the revenge for his father’s murder!

Clutching the old man’s hand more tightly, she nervously asked, “Then who exactly did it?”

The old man gently shook his head, “I don’t know.

I investigated it later as well.

But the clues were already broken, and there’s nothing to be found.”

“But didn’t everyone say that Sir Mu was heavily injured on the battlefield?

Grandpa just said…”

Baili Xia was a little confused, “Could it be that Sir Mu didn’t die in that battle, and something else happened afterward?”

And Uncle knew nothing, just believed that Grandpa killed Sir Mu back then and took everything from him?

The old man looked at her with a complicated gaze, “Child, the father I referred to for Jiu…

is not Mu Zhentian.”

“What?” Baili Xia’s breath hitched, nearly standing up in the car.

Not Mu Zhentian!

Uncle’s father is not Mu Zhentian…

what does that mean?

The old man saw how shocked she was and knew for sure that Mu Xiaojiu would never let her know these things.

He let out a light sigh, “Everyone in the Mu family knows that Jiu is particularly concerned about the second granduncle.”

“The golden cup in the second granduncle’s room, all these years, he’s gone to great lengths to obtain it.”

“Because, everyone knows, second granduncle Mu Canghai was a courageous and skilled warrior in his lifetime.”

“Did you also think that Jiu simply admired his second uncle?”

Baili Xia was too shocked to speak.

Grandpa means that…

Uncle…

is granduncle’s…

“That’s right, his biological father is the second granduncle you mentioned, Mu Canghai.”

Mu Canghai and Mu Zhentian are completely different types of people.

Although the two brothers had a particularly good relationship, one liked business, and the other liked to fight all over.

Back then, when the country was in a turbulent era, Mu Canghai once single-handedly tore down an entire gang’s lair.

Later, he led a team of thirty people to completely dismantle a criminal group’s power of over a thousand people.

Mu Canghai was not only the pride of the Mu family but also someone Baili Yang particularly admired in his heart.

It wasn’t Mu Zhentian who was the most capable in the Mu family; the true strong one was Mu Canghai.

However, besides the brothers who fought together back then, few other people knew about this.

Mu Canghai was indifferent to fame and fortune, dedicated to helping the weak and opposing bandits, which he particularly enjoyed.

But becoming famous and successful was something he hated the most.

So in fact, many of the battles Mu Zhentian won back in the day were actually due to Mu Canghai’s contributions.

In the last campaign, Mu Zhentian didn’t heed Mu Canghai’s advice, acted rashly on his own, and thus perished in action.

After Baili Yang took Mu Zhentian’s place and returned to the Mu family, he fooled everyone, but he could never fool Mu Canghai.

After knowing about this, Mu Canghai not only didn’t expose him but even did his utmost to help him cover it up.

They were comrades who had shared life and death from the beginning, knowing each other’s temperaments and personalities.

Once Baili Yang replaced Mu Zhentian, he did indeed stabilize the Mu family.

It also prevented other families with ulterior motives from daring to challenge the Mu family’s power recklessly.

Over a year after Baili Yang joined the Mu family, everything was peaceful, and the Mu family remained as solid as a rock among the Eight Big Families.

Everything had been good until Baili Yang’s identity was discovered by Mu Zhentian’s third son, Mu Xuri.
