“Yes… it’s Xu Junzhe!”
Xu Xuehui’s face turned ashen.
“Smart!” Xu Mo smiled. “So now it’s clear! Xu Junzhe is missing, Xie Bingyan is in the hospital! The police are investigating, and under the pressure, Xie Bingyan couldn’t hold on and jumped from the building to commit suicide! It has nothing to do with me, Xu Xuehui. It has not a shred of connection with me!”
Hearing this, Xu Xuehui felt a chill throughout her body. “Xu Mo, how can you say that? Mom did this because…”
“Because of what? Because I didn’t die?” Xu Mo fixed his gaze on her. “Because she didn’t manage to kill me? Xu Xuehui, I’ve given you all many chances. There will be no more in the future!”
“Mom wanted to strangle Manni that day. She thought it was Manni who did it. If it had been Xu Junzhe, Mom would definitely be even angrier…”
“She wouldn’t be! She definitely wouldn’t be more angry! And the reason she wanted to kill Xu Junzhe wasn’t just because of this!” Xu Mo said with a smile. “You must be wondering why Xie Bingyan wanted to kill Xu Junzhe! Because… Xu Junzhe also wanted to kill her!”
Xu Xuehui was stunned. “How could that be?”
—
“Why not?” Xu Mo tapped the table and laughed. “Xu Xuehui, do you really think that, at this point, the Xu family is still the same as it was before? I’m telling you, the Xu family has long changed! The current situation is that Xu Junzhe wanted to kill Xie Bingyan, and Xie Bingyan also wanted to kill him! And now, it seems that Xu Junzhe was likely killed; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been missing for over ten days!”
Xu Xuehui’s eyes widened in shock as she stared intently at Xu Mo. “How… how could this be? This isn’t possible! Why would Junzhe want to kill Mom?”
Xu Mo’s lips curled into a slight, mocking smile. “Because he had to kill! Because… Xu Junzhe has biological parents!”
Xu Xuehui’s face changed drastically in an instant.
“Biological parents?”
“Yes!” Xu Mo clapped his hands and laughed. “Did you think Xu Junzhe just sprang up from a crack in the stone? He has biological parents, and a long time ago, Xu Junzhe had already found them. He just didn’t tell you or Xie Bingyan!”
Xu Xuehui’s face grew even paler.
She never expected there was such an inside story!
Yes, Xu Junzhe indeed has biological parents. He couldn’t have just sprung up from a crack in a stone, and now… Junzhe has found his biological parents?
“He found his biological parents. What does that have to do with Mom?” Xu Xuehui asked urgently, her voice trembling.
Xu Mo smiled. “Of course, it matters! Without biological parents, he would be confined to the Xu family. But now that he has biological parents, he has to consider many more things! Including how to acquire as much of Fengxiang Jewelry’s assets as possible and how to get a larger share of the Xu family fortune!”
“Once a person has desires and goals, they will start resorting to any means necessary. He will keep acting, keep planning, and keep seeking help from others!”
“Then… what about my situation?” Xu Xuehui shivered all over, staring intensely at Xu Mo, trying to discern something from his expression.
“Oh? Your situation? The Chen Anxiong incident?” Xu Mo’s smile grew even wider. “At that time, I thought it was best not to get involved! Whatever happens to you is none of my business! But there was no way around it; some people were very dissatisfied with this matter and found Chen Anxiong’s acting very disgusting. They kept buzzing in my ear, insisting I take a look!”
“I reviewed some of the surveillance footage, and it was quite good! At least in terms of the plot, it followed Chen Anxiong’s requirements! As of now, Chen Anxiong is still in the dark!”
Clatter!
Xu Xuehui’s phone dropped to the ground as she stared at Xu Mo in shock, unable to react for a moment.
She had a vivid impression of being kidnapped, with many aspects still unclear to her. Now, hearing Xu Mo’s words, she seemed to begin to understand a bit more.
Gradually, she felt her body growing colder.
“Was it Xu Junzhe?”
“You can guess!” Xu Mo laughed. “What’s the point of always coming to me for answers? Xu Junzhe knows I have great power and he dares not take me on directly. He urgently needs external help, and Chen Anxiong’s Chen family is willing to assist him! So, you understand now, right?”
Xu Xuehui had considered this matter before but had no evidence or means to confirm it. Now, after Xu Mo’s explanation, she began to think seriously and realized that Xu Junzhe was indeed the primary suspect behind it all.
“He and Chen Anxiong have similar goals—hoping you would get pregnant. Chen Anxiong’s demand was that you marry him! To achieve that, they even staged a script. You can see, he is still active and might still be making advances towards you in a few days!” Xu Mo said with a smile.
“Then why didn’t you say anything before?”
“Why should I?” Xu Mo looked at her with disgust. “Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me! I even hope Chen Anxiong succeeds!”
Xu Xuehui’s blood felt as if it had turned to ice upon hearing this. “Is it because of this that Mom wanted to kill Junzhe?”
“No! Not because of this!” Xu Mo’s mouth twisted into a mocking smile. He took a sip of tea before continuing, “I guess it’s because of Xu Pandi and Xu Wanting’s matter! Xu Junzhe might have already confronted her!”
“Big Sister and the Fourth? What does that have to do with Junzhe?” Xu Xuehui asked in astonishment.
“What do you think? Why was Xu Wanting sentenced back then?” Xu Mo’s disgust grew as he heard her question.
“That… it was you!” Xu Xuehui hesitated, looking at him.
“Oh! It was me!” Xu Mo’s disdain increased. “But unfortunately, it wasn’t me who did it! Of course, I did want you to think it was me; I couldn’t be bothered to get involved! But there was another person behind it who wanted to control Fengxiang Jewelry’s shares exclusively and didn’t want to share with Xu Wanting, so Xu Wanting had to be removed!”
“…” Xu Xuehui’s legs gave way, and she almost fell to the ground.
Xu Mo looked at her without offering to help. “So, he smoothly gained control of Fengxiang Jewelry and successfully pushed Xu Wanting out! If it had been me taking action, Xu Wanting’s sentence wouldn’t have been just probation; I would have wanted her to be imprisoned for years!”
“Then… the Fourth…” Xu Xuehui couldn’t believe this, swaying unsteadily, her voice now dry.
“Oh! The Fourth? He used social media platforms to hype things up! He wanted me to break ties with the Xie family, and since I reviewed and approved it, he went ahead with it! In other words, I knew what he wanted to do but didn’t stop him!”
Xu Mo smiled. “So, the Fourth ended up in trouble! You must be wondering why I didn’t intervene or clarify things. You’re right to think that!”
“You… you did this to…” Xu Xuehui stared at him intensely, her eyes reflecting a hint of horror. “You… you wanted Junzhe to kill Mom?”
Xu Mo looked at her and smiled. “Don’t make wild accusations! I had no communication with him about this! Everything he did was of his own volition and has nothing to do with me!”
