Chapter 1649

Baili Yang didn’t know how his identity was discovered by Mu Xuri,

Mu Xuri threatened him, demanding he hand over the Mu Group to him.

However, Mu Canghai disagreed.

Although the Mu Group wasn’t as large as it is now, it was still significant.

The Mu Group’s development was not unrelated to the stability of the Mu family.

Mu Canghai reassured Baili Yang that he would personally persuade Mu Xuri.

But something unknown happened, and that night Mu Canghai was assassinated.

Meanwhile, Mu Xuri was severely poisoned and on the brink of death.

Baili Yang initially wanted to take him to the hospital, but Mu Xuri insisted that he had killed Mu Canghai and poisoned him.

Seizing the moment when Baili Xia wasn’t paying attention, Mu Xuri escaped in a car by himself.

It was unknown whether it was due to the poison, but Mu Xuri got into an accident while driving, the car plunged into the sea, and even his body couldn’t be recovered.

The death of Mu Canghai back then turned into a cold case.

The police couldn’t identify the murderer, and Baili Yang, for the stability of the Mu Group, discussed with Mu Canghai’s lover, Hua Qing, and decided to label it as a home invasion case.

“Uncle’s lover?” Upon hearing this, Baili Xia couldn’t help but ask.

Hua Qing…

such a person, she hadn’t heard of since entering the Mu family until now.

“That’s Jiu’s mother. At that time, they were planning to marry, but the wedding never happened.”

Looking back at the past, the old man seemed even more solemn.

“I also privately investigated the case for a long time back then.”

“The only ones who met that night were Mu Canghai and Mu Xuri.

I couldn’t find any trace of a third person.”

“However, the surveillance systems at that time couldn’t compare to today’s.

Many cases ended up unresolved, only to become cold cases.”

“As time goes by, it becomes even more difficult to investigate.”

“And what about Hua Qing?

Later she…” Baili Xia felt a chill since no one had ever mentioned her.

Having known Uncle for so long, when has she ever seen such a person around him?

Moreover, he was clearly Mu Canghai’s son but became Mu Zhentian’s younger son.

What’s the reason behind all this?

The old man sighed deeply once more.

Since the story had already started, he might as well finish it in one go.

“When Mu Canghai passed away, Hua Qing was pregnant with Jiu, and later…”

“Due to Mu Canghai’s death, Hua Qing was mired in sorrow for some time, only just managing to hold on for the child in her womb, bravely carrying on.”

“But when Jiu was born, Hua Qing couldn’t hold on any longer.

She never even got to see her own son before passing away.”

“And Uncle…?” Baili Xia looked at him, full of anxiety.

“Because Hua Qing hadn’t married into the Mu family, I feared Jiu wouldn’t be accepted by the Mu family’s gentlemen in the future.”

“For Jiu’s future, I declared to the outside that Jiu was my illegitimate son, allowing him to remain in the Mu family as the Fourth Son of the Mu Family.”

“Does Uncle know all this?” Baili Xia realized how redundant her question was right after asking.

Grandfather had already mentioned that Uncle was out for revenge, a vendetta for his father’s murder.

He had long known he was Mu Canghai’s son and believed that Mu Canghai’s death back then was caused by Grandfather!

The old man’s eyes were filled with melancholy.

He said softly, “I never hid his identity. From when Jiu was very young, I told him that Mu Canghai was his biological father.”
