Chapter 2170

Wen Yu was stunned there, her flickering gaze wandering between Mu Xiaojiu and Baili Xia.

Baili Xia and Mu Xiaojiu merely looked at her indifferently, saying no more.

The opportunity had been given to her; whether she could seize it was up to her.

Wen Yu’s eyebrows drooped, weighing things in her mind.

A few minutes later, she finally made up her mind and raised her head again.

“Alright, I’ll say it. I’ve always felt sorry for Xiaxia about this matter, so I initially didn’t want to bring it up.”

Mu Xiaojiu’s fist tightened further. There was too much nonsense; he hated this feeling of waiting.

But on this matter, he had no choice but to make some concessions.

Wen Yu gently exhaled, adjusted her breathing, and continued to speak.

“In the detention center, it was indeed the people arranged by Mr. Baili who assassinated old Mr. Baili.”

In an instant, a mist veiled Baili Xia’s trembling eyes.

This was the truth, although it had long been suspected, now someone finally voiced it.

Her fist clenched, her whole body subtly trembling, unable to continue massaging Mu Xiaojiu.

Mu Xiaojiu sensed her distress, raised a hand to gently hold her fist within his palm, quietly offering comfort.

At this moment, he was uncomfortable too.

Baili Yang was already in prison, what possible reason did the third brother have to kill him?

The only conceivable reason was nothing other than silencing him.

Mu Xiaojiu asked coldly: “How did he do it?”

“With poison, a type that can linger for a long time.”

Speaking of this matter, Wen Yu seemed to be confessing her own crimes.

After all, even though it was Mu Xuri who made the decision and arranged for people to execute it, she had known all along.

“This poison, once activated, can cause rapid death, but after a person dies, the toxicity quickly disappears.”

“So, later in the hospital, no cause could be found.”

Mu Xiaojiu’s fingertips trembled slightly, realizing this was why Baili Yang’s cause of death couldn’t be found back then.

“I never heard he used poison.”

“This…” Wen Yu hesitated again.

In fact, she wasn’t certain whether the poison came from Mu Xuri’s own hand.

She could only say the poisoning was certainly arranged by him.

Mu Xiaojiu coldly said: “If you have something to say, just say it straightforwardly.”

Wen Yu looked at him, her heart tightening.

“He can use poison, sometimes even personally concocting it, but nobody knew.”

“As for whether the poison given to Baili Yang was his creation, that I don’t know.”

“Regarding this matter, I’ve just heard him talk about the plan, but I don’t know the specifics of how it was executed.”

Concerning Baili Yang’s murder, she had already revealed everything she knew, hiding nothing.

Wen Yu’s gaze fell on Baili Xia, an apology surfacing in her eyes.

“Xiaxia, I’m sorry, I knew about this matter, but I couldn’t do anything.”

“Being by his side, I’m just a puppet, everything has to follow his arrangement.”

Baili Xia’s heart was churning at this moment, finally having an answer to her grandfather’s death.

He indeed died as a result of Mu Xuri’s plot.

The resolve to fight Mu Xuri grew firmer at this moment, no matter what, her grandfather couldn’t die in vain.

She must give her grandfather justice, bring Mu Xuri to justice!

Yet now, looking at Wen Yu, she couldn’t remain indifferent.

After all, she was also a participant in the matter.

But what could she do, kill her too, to avenge her grandfather?
