Chapter 2313

But, what does it mean that they sent his corpse back specifically?

Is it another form of declaring war?

Or… a temporary farewell?

Nangong Xu examined for a while, then stood up, looking at Mu Xiaojiu with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He said slowly, “The cause of death is a fractured cervical vertebra. The enemy struck quickly, killing him in one move.”

At the end, he added, “It’s definitely a skilled assassin.”

The enemy’s method of killing clearly shows it’s the work of an expert.

To kill someone so cleanly and swiftly, Nangong Xu admitted to himself that even he would find it difficult.

Mu Xiaojiu just nodded slowly; he had long foreseen that there were strong enemies in the opponent’s ranks.

Now, there’s nothing strange about it.

From start to finish, he didn’t say anything more.

His gaze swept over the already cold corpse on the floor, Mu Xiaojiu took a step towards the exit of the building.

“Mr. Xiaojiu.” Behind him, Ye Hua suddenly called out.

“How should we handle the corpse?”

Mu Xiaojiu paused his steps, his deep dark eyes narrowed slightly.

“Burn it.”

After speaking, he strode out.

When a person dies, their light goes out; old scores are settled once and for all.

A person who has sinned too deeply, whether they pursued wealth or power, ultimately turns to ashes.

Those things cannot be brought into life or taken out in death.

The only thing left behind is a lifetime of infamy.

Mu Xiaojiu’s only regret is not asking Mu Xuri in person.

Why did he kill his father?

But now, there’s no opportunity.

Perhaps, it no longer matters.

…

The spring breeze brushed against the face, even the slight chill was swept away with the spring wind.

Jin City, seemingly peaceful, was secretly turbulent.

The members of the mysterious organizations hidden within the Eight Big Families had either died or disappeared one after the other in recent days.

And that mysterious organization seemed to vanish into thin air, not a trace could be seen these days.

At the Wolf Territory base, after Mu Xiaoyao’s continuous overtime day and night, the new defense system was finally online.

After clearing out all the traitors, it was ready to start afresh.

And the women of Mu Mansion were evidently not disturbed by these events.

The outside disturbances were all blocked by the men of the family from beyond the high walls.

Within Mu Mansion, it was like a paradise isolated from the world.

Only by seeing the brothers standing guard and patrolling would they remember how tense the current situation was.

Baili Xia was also a bit nervous at this moment. Today was the last examination after Nangong Xu had performed dozens on Ye Zi.

According to him, after this examination, the general condition inside Ye Zi’s head would become clear.

Baili Xia sat in the slightly chilly medical room, her palms slightly sweating.

She didn’t know what the result would be, but hoped that Ye Zi was okay.

Her gaze was always focused on Ye Zi’s face, that pretty little face had become much rosier in the past few days.

Although Ye Zi was confined here and prohibited from going out, perhaps these days were truly her farewell to the life of an assassin.

No pressure, no responsibility to bear, no need for false fronts, her whole being was much more relaxed.

Ye Zi lay quietly on the bed, occasionally lifting her gaze to look at Nangong Xu standing beside her.

Nangong Xu’s focused gaze never left the machine’s screen for a moment.

Ye Zi was a friend of that girl, someone she cared about, and he must determine the final result.

After quite a while, he finally moved.

Nangong Xu stood up, turned off the machine, removed all the tubes from Ye Zi, and put them away.
