Hearing Old Mrs. Xiao's angry roar, Xiao Qi really stopped in his tracks. He turned around and walked towards the villa's front door with a serious expression. This time, he did not hesitate and directly opened the villa's front door, walking straight into the living room.

Upon entering the living room, Xiao Qi ignored everyone and went straight to Old Madam Xiao, her voice icy and trembling slightly.

"Do you think I care about being a member of the Xiao family? When you kicked my father out of the Xiao family, you never considered his life or death. After he died, you targeted my mother at every turn, not giving us a way to live. Now, you're still using the Xiao family to surround me. Do you think I care?"

"Now that I'm an orphan with no parents, you've found me again. What, do you think I'd be grateful and want to return to your Xiao family? Does your Xiao family have a throne to inherit?"

Xiao Qi gave Old Madam Xiao a disdainful smile. He had indeed tried hard for his father's sake. He wanted to return to the Xiao family and gain Old Madam Xiao's approval.

But ever since his father passed away and his mother was driven to desperation by the Xiao family, he has never had such absurd thoughts again.

He felt he had made a mistake from the beginning. If he hadn't tried so hard to return to the Xiao family, those people wouldn't have seen him as a thorn in their side, and his father and mother might still be alive and well.

Hearing Xiao Qi's words, Old Madam Xiao was also stunned for a moment. Although she was not satisfied with her youngest son, she never thought of driving him to his death.

She stood up from the sofa, walked straight to Xiao Qi's side, and grabbed Xiao Qi's arm tightly.

“Tell me now, explain it to me clearly, what exactly is going on with your parents? I want to hear your explanation.”

Grandma Xiao was saddened for a long time by Xiao Zewei's death. After Xiao Zewei passed away, she wanted to bring Xiao Qi and Jiang Yi back to the Wen family. No matter what, she would not let Xiao Zewei's wife and children be left alone outside.

But from Xiao Qi's words, she sensed something was amiss. Had something gone wrong? Or was there something she didn't know?

"Now tell me, how exactly did your father die? And what happened to your mother? I sent people out to look for you, but they sent me back saying they couldn't find you. Where did you and your mother hide?"

Seeing the old lady's agitated expression, Xiao Qi assumed she was putting on an act. He snorted coldly and looked at her with hatred in his eyes.

"Are you still going to pretend to be a good person? Our family of three lived a simple but warm life in Jincheng until one day a group of people suddenly appeared and took my father away. When my father was brought back, he was already lying in the intensive care unit."

"Later, my father passed away, and my mother was targeted by that group of people. To protect me, my mother took me back to the capital... Unfortunately, those people were unwilling to let us go, and my mother left to protect me as well."

“From that day on, I began to investigate the identities of those people. Later I learned that they were assassins that your Xiao family had bought from abroad, just to wipe out our family.”

After Xiao Qi finished speaking, Old Madam Xiao swayed involuntarily, unable to stand steadily.

She looked at Xiao Qi in disbelief, her voice trembling as she asked, "Are you...are you sure...are you sure your investigation results are correct? Was it really arranged by the Xiao family?"

“I am absolutely certain that the account used for the remittance belongs to the Xiao family. Although his actions were very secretive, I still managed to find out.”

At this moment, Xiao Qi's eyes were bloodshot. She had originally planned to come back and avenge her parents when she had the strength and ability, but now that everything had been made clear, there was no need to believe her anymore. Even if she couldn't leave the Xiao family alive today, she would accept it.

"Now that you've investigated, tell me who did this. As long as you have evidence, I guarantee I'll help you get justice."

Grandma Xiao swept her eyes fiercely over the people around her. She had always thought that Xiao Zewei's death was an accident, until today she learned that it was actually a murder, and the perpetrator was a member of the Xiao family.

"It's a man named Xiao Huaichu. I've investigated him; he's Xiao Zetao's special assistant..."

As Xiao Qi spoke, his gaze was fixed on Xiao Zetao's direction. The moment Xiao Zetao uttered the name, he stood up from the sofa, quite surprised that this matter would involve him.

“Hey kid, are you sure you’re not mistaken? I can admit I’m not a good person, and I don’t deny that I want the Xiao family, but I’ve never thought of harming my own siblings, especially your father who poses no threat to me.”

“If your father posed a threat to me, he certainly wouldn’t have left the Xiao family and would have competed with me. But with his indifferent and unambitious demeanor, do you think he poses any threat to me?”

Xiao Zetao looked in the direction of Old Madam Xiao and said very seriously, "Mother, I really didn't do this, and I have no reason to do it. I can investigate this matter myself and clear my name."

Xiao Zetao looked at Old Madam Xiao calmly. Old Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Qi, also wanting to know the truth. Who had been targeting the Xiao family all along? Sixteen years ago, the Xiao family had inexplicably fallen into a conspiracy.

Now it seems he has fallen into a trap, a trap that began with the death of his youngest son.

“Xiao Qi, what do you think of what your fourth uncle said? I think this matter is aimed at our Xiao family. If you trust us, please give us some more time, and we will definitely give you an explanation.”

Now that Grandma Xiao knew the reason for Xiao Qi's violent aura, she felt a pang of heartache.

"From now on, you will return to the Xiao family. We will make up for all the grievances you have suffered over the years!"

"Make amends? Can you give my parents back to me? There's no need for make amends. I want the truth. I'll wait for you."

After saying that, Xiao Qi pulled the old lady's hand off her arm and left the Xiao family without looking back.

Just after Xiao Qi left the Xiao family, Old Madam Xiao fainted due to excessive emotional distress.

She had just been holding her breath, not wanting to frighten Xiao Qi.

Ignoring the voices behind him, Xiao Qi had long since severed ties with the Xiao family. No matter what, he would never return to the Xiao family. For him, the Xiao family would always be a wound.
