Chapter 2189

Baili Xia was full of disappointment, thinking she would discover something, but once again, it was in vain.

Wanting to dig deeper meant nothing more than conducting a thorough examination of the body.

But thinking it over, naturally, Mu Xuri would have done such a thing flawlessly; how could he possibly let them easily uncover anything?

Just like with grandpa’s case, if Wen Yu hadn’t mentioned it, they might never know the answer.

However, now that Wen Yu is dead, no one can prove that it was Mu Xuri who harmed grandpa.

Mu Xiaojiu sat on the sofa, his face still heavy.

If Mu Xuri killing Baili Xia’s grandpa was considered a revenge act before,

then Wen Yu’s case now is something he finds hard to accept.

Was it possible… that he never truly knew this third brother?

He can understand resorting to any means for revenge, but what about Wen Yu?

A woman who had been with him for so many years!

Baili Xia sat down opposite him, finally unable to help but ask.

“Uncle, why didn’t you send someone to protect her?”

Her voice was very soft, but you could still hear a slight tone of reproach in her words.

Mu Xiaojiu’s fingers twitched slightly, but he didn’t respond, his gaze piercing through the doorway to a distant place.

He had sent someone, but in the end, he still couldn’t save Wen Yu. He had no excuse to defend himself.

Seeing he didn’t speak, Baili Xia continued, “Wen Yu is dead. Now, even if we know what kind of person third uncle is, what use is it? No one can prove it anymore.”

Mu Xiaojiu just listened; how could he not know these things?

He hadn’t expected that just after Wen Yu reported some useful information to him, she’d be murdered that evening.

What exactly happened in the meantime? Who had contact with her?

“Xiaxia, you can’t blame Mr. Xiaojiu for this.”

Nangong Xu looked at Baili Xia reproaching Mr. Xiaojiu, feeling bad for him.

For a proud man like him, he wouldn’t defend himself in such matters.

“He had already sent people to guard the main house, but whatever methods Mr. Xuri employed there, we have no way of knowing.”

Baili Xia’s face showed a hint of apology, realizing she had wrongly accused Uncle earlier.

In fact, she was in a real mess now, truly confused.

She also knew she shouldn’t vent her emotions on others.

Only, Wen Yu’s death… really caught one off guard.

That bastard, so cold-hearted, so ruthless!

She no longer looked at Mu Xiaojiu but turned her gaze to Nangong Xu.

“Was it because they didn’t guard properly that allowed someone to take advantage?”

“Impossible.” Nangong Xu shook his head and said, “I asked the guards. Except when Wen Yu went into the room and couldn’t be seen, at other times she was never out of their sight.”

Baili Xia’s delicate brows furrowed slightly; this was strange.

What kind of method could silently and invisibly kill someone?

“That brother mentioned that Wen Yu came out twice, once after lunch when she went to Mr. Xuri’s study.”

“Coming out of the study, she met Tian, and they walked in the backyard.”

“The second time was at dinner when Mr. Xuri gathered people from the main house to eat together.”

“Our men were watching both times and didn’t notice anything unusual.”

Nangong Xu was just explaining to Baili Xia, all these things had long since been told to Mu Xiaojiu.

He knew the time Wen Yu called him should have been after returning from a walk with Tian.

But during the time she was out with Tian, there were guards watching, she definitely didn’t have the chance to make a move.

Mu Xiaojiu still said nothing.

He had already warned her not to act recklessly.

It seems she still couldn’t stay put and took action.
