Chapter 223: “Who? Who Exactly?”

Xu Mo’s intentions were already quite clear!

He aimed to have Xu Junzhe imprisoned; otherwise, he wouldn’t have acted at this specific time.

Xu Mo knew that Xie Bingyan favored Xu Junzhe the most, so he targeted the person she cared about most to cause her the most pain.

There were still some people on Xie Yun and Xie Zhen’s side who could stop him.

Xie Bingyan first called Xie Zhen. Upon receiving her call, Xie Zhen was clearly not surprised. He sighed and said, “Xie Bingyan, you should try to reconcile with Xu Mo. I can’t handle this. Xu Mo’s group has people who can deal with this; he has a lot of information…”

“Reconcile?” Xie Bingyan was taken aback.

“That’s your son. If you don’t want to reconcile, what else can you do? He just came to see me. If this is true, there’s only one outcome: Xu Junzhe will spend a few years in prison, or Xu Deming and Xu Wanting will go in together. What do you want?” Xie Zhen was distressed and felt coerced.

Xie Bingyan fell silent.

If it were before, she wouldn’t have been so silent, but after the confrontation with Xu Deming, she suddenly realized that some bad things had already happened.

“I want… them all to be safe!” After thinking for a while, Xie Bingyan said.

“Well, you’re deluding yourself! Xu Mo is very ruthless this time and definitely won’t let go easily! Or, you could find someone to deal with him!” Xie Zhen said coldly.

“Deal with him?” Xie Bingyan was stunned.

“Don’t tell me you really want to do that? Xu Mo just said if you really want to deal with him, then come! He’s waiting for you!” Xie Zhen was a bit angry. “I don’t know what’s going on with you and your son, but don’t involve me in this!”

“I understand!” Xie Bingyan said after a moment of silence and then hung up the phone.

Xie Bingyan wasn’t surprised that Xie Zhen couldn’t take action. After all, he had already been punished and clearly didn’t want to get involved.

After some thought, Xie Bingyan decided to call Xie Yun.

Xie Yun’s position was higher than Xie Zhen’s.

Though he wasn’t directly involved with police matters, his authority was greater. He also seemed to be unsurprised by Xie Bingyan’s call.

“Xie Zhen has already informed me about this matter. My assessment is that if Xu Mo has solid evidence, you can only hope he doesn’t press too hard! Or, you can only hope he shows some leniency and doesn’t imprison Xu Deming and Xu Wanting together! As for Xu Junzhe, given his current position as CEO and his previous role as the head of the Beijing region, he might have to spend a few years in prison.”

“This is my current assessment! If you need someone to handle this issue, I can arrange for a lawyer, but you should be aware that Xu Mo also has lawyers, and they are even more skilled!”

“What should I do?” Xie Bingyan asked.

“There’s another option: you can plead with Xu Mo yourself, or have Xu Wanting, Xu Xuehui, and others plead with him to stop! As long as he agrees to stop, everything can be resolved! Aren’t you his biological mother? What grudge can’t be resolved? If you want to resolve it, it can be resolved!” Xie Yun suggested.

Xie Bingyan didn’t respond to the suggestion because she was suddenly at a loss about what to do.

In the past, she would have insisted that Xie Yun take decisive action, compelling him to cooperate with her investigation team to find evidence of Xu Mo’s wrongdoing and exact revenge.

In fact, she had contacted Xu Pandi and received her assistance, so the investigation team had made some progress.

But the recent argument with Xu Deming left her feeling disoriented.

Now, apart from urgently needing to resolve the money laundering issue, she also needed some time to reflect and sort through the events that had occurred.

“If you can’t help, I’ll find someone else! Besides Xu Pandi, I don’t want to see anyone else end up in prison!” Xie Bingyan said.

“Do as you wish! But according to Xie Zhen’s attitude, you must make a choice: either Xu Junzhe goes to prison, or Xu Deming and Xu Wanting go together! Or all three could go; Xu Mo’s idea is to choose one from three options. It’s up to you!” Xie Yun said.

“I… I…” Xie Bingyan was at a loss for words.

The harshest thing in life is just this, no matter which choice she made, none were good.

“Think it over carefully! We’re all family; there’s no insurmountable hurdle! Blood is thicker than water!” Xie Yun sighed and ended the call.

“Mom, what’s the result?” Xu Junzhe asked anxiously, not leaving. As soon as he saw her hang up the phone, he quickly inquired.

Xie Bingyan looked at him with a pale face and, after a moment’s thought, hoarsely said, “Junzhe, don’t panic. You go out first! I’ll find someone to handle this!”

Xu Junzhe was alarmed and quickly said, “Mom, are you too tired?”

“I’m… I’m fine! Don’t worry, I won’t let you go to prison! No matter what, I will protect you!” Xie Bingyan’s face showed a trace of color.

Hearing this, Xu Junzhe felt reassured and said, “Thank you, Mom! I’ll go find Dad and handle it first!”

“Go ahead!” Xie Bingyan did not stop him and turned back to her room.

Now, she needed to reassess the situation.

She remembered Xu Wanting had once mentioned the poisoning issue, but at that time she had not paid much attention. According to Xu Shuying, it was palladium poisoning, which happened many years ago.

If it was true, she needed to investigate the specific circumstances.

Additionally, she didn’t know the symptoms of such poisoning!

She needed to inquire about it.

Xie Bingyan quickly returned to her room, took out her tablet, and began searching for information on palladium, looking into what might happen after poisoning.

As she reviewed a few pieces of information, her expression froze, and her face turned even paler.

The symptoms of palladium poisoning were extremely horrifying, worse than being a vegetative state. The nervous tissue could be burned away, leading to a state of unbearable agony, a true state of being unable to die…

“Who? Who could it be?”

Xie Bingyan felt herself falling into confusion. After thinking for a moment, she picked up her phone and dialed Xu Wanting.

Xu Wanting seemed to be waiting for her call and answered quickly.

“Eldest, do you have the test results for the palladium poisoning? When was it taken?”

Xie Bingyan’s face paled further as she read the report. The analysis confirmed the presence of excessive palladium levels in Xu Mo’s blood, which aligned with the symptoms she had just researched.

“Six years ago, the year Xu Mo left the house…” she murmured, her mind racing.

She had always been in denial about the severity of Xu Mo’s accusations, thinking they were merely the grievances of a troubled youth. But now, the evidence was undeniable. This was not just a random act of malice—it was a calculated attempt to destroy a life.

Her mind swirled with questions. Who could have orchestrated such a scheme? Who else had a motive to harm Xu Mo in such a horrific manner?

Gritting her teeth, Xie Bingyan resolved to find answers. She needed to confront this issue head-on. She quickly left the room, her thoughts a chaotic storm of anger and determination.

She had to act quickly to protect her family, to stop Xu Mo from ruining them, and to uncover the truth behind the poisoning.

It’s a blood test!

From six years ago.

Xie Bingyan remembered that year when Xu Mo always carried a knife, ready to act at any moment.

Every time they sent bodyguards to meet him, he had an ominous feeling of wanting to harm people, which made her and Xu Deming extremely angry!

Is this the matter? Is it this event?
