Chapter 2145

“But,” Baili Xia still didn’t understand, “As far as I know, before he fell into the sea, he was already heavily poisoned. Could it be that it was Grandpa’s doing?”

“Impossible. The master would never use such means. Besides, he promised Mu Zhentian to treat everyone in the Mu family well.”

“Even if Mu Xuri killed Mu Canghai, the master would not directly take his life.”

Others might not know about Baili Yang’s character, but Feng Gang surely couldn’t be unaware.

Even if Mu Xuri had killed someone, Baili Yang chasing him was merely to bring him back.

He would absolutely not act rashly against anyone in the Mu family.

“However, it’s true that Mu Xuri was heavily poisoned at that time. Even if he hadn’t fallen into the sea, he would have died from the poison at any moment.”

“Who can prove all that? Could it be it was just Mu Xuri saying it?”

Things have passed for so many years, now, with Mu Xuri being able to speak freely.

As long as the Mu family believes him, can he say whatever he wants?

“No.” Baili Xia shook her head.

If it was only Mu Xuri claiming it, Uncle wouldn’t believe it so firmly.

“It’s my master’s father… I mean, Nangong Xu’s father, Nangong Che.”

“By coincidence, after Mu Xuri fell into the sea, he was rescued by Nangong Che. This event, Nangong Che later told Nangong Xu.”

“Nangong Che, highly respected, would definitely not deceive Uncle and Master on such matters. Hence, Uncle believes Mu Xuri’s words without doubt.”

Feng Gang nodded, somewhat puzzled and also somewhat resigned.

Nangong Che was highly reputable in the medical field at the time. Considering Nangong Xu’s character, anyone who could raise such a son would also have high medical ethics.

He likely wouldn’t lie.

This was what Baili Xia had always found hard to comprehend.

“It wasn’t Grandpa who poisoned him, nor could it be Mu Canghai, so who was the one who poisoned him?”

Feng Gang sneered, speaking of Mu Xuri with disgust: “Who knows? Maybe he poisoned himself while playing with poisons.”

“Playing with poisons?” Baili Xia looked at him, surprised: “Uncle Feng, are you joking…”

“He indeed liked researching poisons himself. For someone who dealt with poisons regularly, is it surprising to be poisoned?”

However, Feng Gang didn’t take this matter to heart.

After all, poisoning oneself is truly… an unlikely thing.

“But, since I’ve met him, I’ve never seen him practicing anything related to poison, and Uncle doesn’t know either.”

People who practice poisoning have a slightly different aura, as seen with Nangong Yun.

Her nails are black, although they are usually covered with bright nail polish, occasionally you can see some of it.

Mu Xuri… doesn’t have the slightest trace of poison on him.

“He did indeed love studying poisons in the past. As for now, I don’t know.”

Unable to make sense of matters, Feng Gang felt indescribably melancholic.

However, there was one thing he was genuinely concerned about: “Girl, though Jiu treats you well, do be careful not to be too presumptuous in front of him.”

“No matter what, Mu Xuri has been his relative for many years. Some feelings, we cannot comprehend. You must act… with caution.”

“I know, Uncle Feng, I’ll be careful.”

Listening to his advice felt like having Grandpa by her side again.

Baili Xia felt a warmth in her heart, lifting a gentle smile.

“Uncle Feng, take good care of yourself here, I will definitely rescue you.”

“One day, I will give Grandpa the justice he deserves.”
