Chapter 2188

Tian hurriedly reported to Mu Xuri and then withdrew.

Seeing Tian’s unusual behavior, Mu Xuri raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on Mu Xiaojiu.

Noticing that Mu Xiaojiu was still looking in the direction Tian had left, Mu Xuri suddenly felt uneasy.

Had Mu Xiaojiu suddenly become interested in Tian, could it be that he had discovered something?

Mu Xiaojiu’s sharpness was something Mu Xuri was more aware of than anyone else, as he had practically watched him grow up, even though Mu Xiaojiu spent over ninety percent of his time away from him.

But, Mu Xuri knew the extent of Mu Xiaojiu’s capabilities, only greater and more formidable than he had anticipated.

“That’s all for today, in the afternoon, I will have someone notify you all of the location,” he said.

He no longer looked at Mu Xiaojiu; his gaze shifted to Ning Anran.

“As for the arrangements for Lingchuan’s wedding, An Ran will handle that,” he said.

“Alright,” Ning Anran responded.

With the task of arranging and setting up, she would have no time to be a bridesmaid.

In any case, neither Zimo nor Baili Xia thought highly of her; she was eager not to attend.

Now that the situation had developed to this point, there was nothing left to discuss.

Mu Dongyu and Mu Haoguo bid farewell and left first.

Meanwhile, Mu Xiaojiu remained seated on the sofa, showing no intention of leaving.

“Is there something else?” Mu Xuri asked coldly, looking at him.

His influence had gradually shifted to Jin City, and he had others assisting him; he was now restless.

Even if it came to a confrontation with Mu Xiaojiu, he felt confident.

“I just hope you know what you’re doing,” Mu Xiaojiu said.

After speaking, Mu Xiaojiu stood up and turned to walk out of the hall.

Behind him, the strands of coldness followed him out.

Mu Xiaoyao and Baili Xia exchanged a glance and immediately followed.

Watching their departing figures, the familiar killing intent in Mu Xuri’s cold gaze resurfaced.

The current Mu Xiaojiu had grown to a level that he could no longer control.

No, he had been unable to control him since he turned sixteen!

Thinking back to those days, this young man had already established his own power.

Such a person, once becoming an adversary, was bound to be the most formidable opponent.

If possible, Mu Xuri wished not to be enemies with Mu Xiaojiu; in the face of such a powerful adversary, there was still fear in his heart.

But, those people had already issued harsh words; they couldn’t wait.

…

Having left the main house, the three of them headed directly back to Sihai Residence.

Mu Xiaojiu was engrossed in walking ahead, albeit not swiftly.

It was evident that his mood was poor.

Baili Xia could only follow silently behind; despite having much to say, now didn’t seem to be the best time.

This matter was not so simple and required investigation.

However, Mu Xuri had just mentioned that the funeral would be arranged for tomorrow.

His hurried arrangement was certainly an attempt to cover up evidence.

But all of this, Uncle surely considered, though, where did Uncle’s thoughts lie now?

They walked in silence until they returned to Sihai Residence, without speaking a single word.

But as they reached the hall, Nangong Xu was already there waiting.

Seeing him, Baili Xia immediately walked over.

“Master, did you discover anything?”

She knew that Nangong Xu must have returned early to do something.

But Nangong Xu shook his head, saying, “I just took a sample from Wen Yu’s corpse for testing, but there’s no sign of poisoning.”

He paused and continued, “However, this is just a rough check; some poisons might be buried deep, undetectable by common methods.”
