Grandpa Lu then smiled and said.

"Okay, okay, I'm relieved to hear that."

After chatting with Grandpa Lu for a while, Ye Yunxi and the others said goodbye when they saw that it was almost time.

After leaving the study, I ran into Lu Hengyi's father. I greeted him and prepared to leave the Lu family home.

But Lu Hengyi's father stopped her and said to Ye Yunxi.

"Yunxi, I have something I want to tell you, is it a good time?"

Ye Yunxi nodded and said, "Uncle Lu, that's fine."

Lu Hengyi's father continued.

"Let's talk somewhere else, it's not convenient here."

Ye Yunxi, Fu Heng, and Xuan Yu followed Lu Hengyi's father, unafraid of trouble from the Lu family.

Lu Hengyi's father led Ye Yunxi and the others to his study, closed the door, and asked them to sit down.

Lu Hengyi's father sighed and said to Ye Yunxi.

"Yunxi, to be honest, I found out who poisoned my father last time you asked me to investigate the family."

Ye Yunxi did not answer, but listened quietly to Uncle Lu's story.

Lu Hengyi's father paused for a moment before continuing.

"The people who poisoned him were actually my second brother and his wife. I haven't told anyone else about this yet; I want to tell them but I don't know how to bring it up. Besides, he's my brother. How could he do something so immoral? He actually listened to that woman's lies and followed her in poisoning his own father."

Lu Hengyi's father looked worried and couldn't understand why she would collude with a shameless woman to murder him.

Ye Yunxi spoke up at this moment.

“Uncle Lu, if you continue to condone the murderer, it will only harm your family. I think you already have the answer in your heart, you just don’t know whether you should do it or not.”

Lu Hengyi's father raised his head and looked at Ye Yunxi.

“You’re right, I have the answer in my heart, I just want someone to give me a push. I might as well tell you, my second brother’s current son is not his, I found out these past few days.”

The woman he married didn't like my second brother. She was pregnant with another man's child, but that man refused to marry her, so she hastily married my second brother and quickly became pregnant.

Now they've poisoned my father, and I suspect that woman instigated my second brother. My son, Xiaoyi, is his grandfather's future successor, and they're unhappy with him taking over the family business, which is why they've decided to kill him.

Ye Yunxi interrupted Lu Hengyi's father.

"Uncle Lu, I have no interest in your family affairs. But I know that if anyone hurts the person I love most, no matter who they are, I will seek revenge."

I think your brother must have crossed your line, but you're very conflicted. If you don't deal with it soon, there will definitely be another person poisoned.

After hearing Ye Yunxi's words, Lu Hengyi's father suddenly realized what was going on. Yes, if he was only worried about his younger brother and didn't want him to be kicked out of the house, then their whole family would definitely be the next to be poisoned.

Ye Yunxi knew he was in a difficult position, so she continued.

“Uncle Lu, if you don’t want to kick your brother out, you can kick out the people you want to kick out. That’s all I have to say, Uncle Lu. If there’s nothing else, we’ll be leaving now.”

Lu Hengyi's father stopped Ye Yunxi.

"We agreed last time that if I found out, I'd give you ten cans of gasoline. Now, are you coming with me to get them, or should I deliver them to your home?"

Ye Yunxi wasn't surprised at all, knowing that the Lu family patriarch would give her gasoline.

"Then I'll trouble Uncle Lu to have someone deliver it to my home. Thank you!"

After saying goodbye to Lu Hengyi's father, Ye Yunxi and the others went downstairs to their home.

After Ye Yunxi and the others left the Lu family, Xuan Yu started talking non-stop.

Xuan Yu said excitedly, "I never expected that the son of the second son of the Lu family isn't his! What will happen if the Lu family patriarch finds out about this huge revelation?"

Ye Yunxi smiled but did not answer Xuan Yu.

It's likely that Grandpa Lu already knew that the second son of the Lu family wasn't their grandson, which is why he gave the position of successor to Lu Hengyi. He just didn't say it out loud.

However, since Uncle Lu brought it up today, the Lu family must not have been so peaceful these past two days.

Ye Yunxi felt it was still early and decided to go check on the vegetable garden first. She turned to them and said...

"Let's go check on the vegetable garden first. We haven't been there for a few days, so we don't know how it is."

Fu Heng smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to the vegetable garden first."

After walking for twenty minutes, they arrived at the vegetable garden and saw Chen Zhe watering the plants with two employees.

Ye Yunxi stepped forward and looked at the newly sprouted buds.

When Chen Zhe saw them, he put down the kettle in his hand, smiled, and walked over to call out.

"Sister Yunxi, Brother Heng, Brother Xuanyu, what brings you all here?"

Fu Heng said with a smile, "We just came to take a look."

Chen Zhe nodded and said to them.

“Sister Yunxi, Captain Li came looking for you earlier, but left when he saw you weren’t there. I asked him what was so urgent. Captain Li said that mutated rats had appeared at another base, and they learned that our base had developed a potion, so they hoped our base could go and rescue them. Captain Li came to ask if you were going.”

Ye Yunxi frowned. The mutated rats left our base and never came back. It turns out they went to other bases.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Chen Zhe asked.

"Sister Yunxi, Brother Heng, are you going? If you are, can you take me with you? I want to go with you too."

Ye Yunxi looked at Chen Zhe and asked him.

"What else did Captain Li say to you?"

Chen Zhe replied, "Team Leader Li said that if we go, we'll depart at nine o'clock in the morning three days from now and meet at the base gate."
