Chapter 234: Has He Really Been Poisoned?

Xu Junzhe came over because Xu Shuying had already informed him that Xu Xuehui was missing, causing him to become very anxious and call him.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come so quickly.

Moreover, Chen Anxiong wanted Xu Xuehui to marry him. He didn’t just want to deceive her physically; he also wanted to manipulate her emotions until she became pregnant. Therefore, he needed Xu Junzhe to work on Xu Xuehui’s mindset.

With these two reasons in mind, Xu Junzhe was the first to appear.

As for Xu Xuehui, when she saw him, she didn’t have much of a reaction, but Xu Junzhe didn’t mind. He assumed that Xu Xuehui was simply too frightened to react.

He quickly greeted Chen Anxiong and then stood beside Xu Xuehui, acting as her support.

…

On the other hand, Xu Xuehui was shaken by what she saw, uncertain if her suspicions were correct.

In her heart, Xu Junzhe had always been obedient and well-behaved, very likable.

Since childhood, Xu Junzhe had always called her “Second Sister” with great affection. During every holiday, he never forgot to bring gifts for her and others or to call and send greetings.

The bond between Xu Junzhe and her sisters was far deeper than ordinary people could imagine. They had grown up together, and their relationship was extremely close—something that Xu Mo, who appeared later in their lives, could never match!

In the past, Xu Junzhe was quite dependent on her, which made Xu Xuehui and the others never suspect him!

But now, Xu Xuehui suddenly felt confused.

She couldn’t yet determine who had saved her, but it seemed that Xu Junzhe didn’t know the full story behind the incident.

Was he… truly worried?

“Follow the script, don’t let Chen Anxiong see through it!”

This sentence suddenly came to Xu Xuehui’s mind!

At first, she didn’t understand what it meant, but now, she was beginning to grasp it.

She also wanted to follow the script and see what would happen!

Suddenly, Xu Xuehui felt a deep fear, a bone-chilling coldness.

Because at this point, almost everything in the Xu family had already been handed over to Xu Junzhe—the majority of the family assets were now in his hands.

But what was Xu Junzhe’s attitude in this farce involving Xu Mo? If the poison wasn’t administered by Xie Bingyan, then… was it him?

If it was him, Xu Xuehui found it utterly terrifying!

Perhaps the situation had been frightening from the very beginning!

Xu Xuehui couldn’t yet find a definite answer and could only rely on her own eyes to observe. She was afraid of seeing the outcome she suspected, afraid that Xu Junzhe was truly behind it all.

It wasn’t just that she couldn’t accept it—even Xu Deming and Xie Bingyan would likely be unable to accept it.

They had invested so much emotional energy in Xu Junzhe.

During this time, Xu Junzhe had been Xie Bingyan’s emotional pillar. If he were to fall, she didn’t know what would happen to Xie Bingyan…

…

On the other side, Xu Manni was furious.

Xie Bingyan’s attempt to strangle her had especially enraged her.

Particularly after hearing about Xu Mo being poisoned, she felt she had been framed.

Xie Bingyan’s suspicion that she was responsible was just more evidence of Xu Mo framing her.

This time, Xu Mo must have staged the incident as a ploy to tear the Xu family apart.

Things had reached a point where Xu Manni truly couldn’t tolerate Xu Mo any longer. The more she thought about it, the more disgusted she felt!

“Poisoning? You want to take me down? Want to send me to prison? Then I’ll make sure you die first!” Xu Manni thought of Xu Pandi’s fate and clenched her teeth in anger.

Recently, Xu Manni had been particularly fearful of something going wrong.

As a celebrity, she cared deeply about her image. Years ago, she had been furious when a paparazzo took a single photo of Xu Mo escorting her to the hospital.

She didn’t know if Xu Mo had any dirt on her, but she knew that he was definitely a ticking time bomb.

Whether it was Xie Bingyan’s current miserable state or what happened to Xu Pandi and Xu Wanting, they were all inextricably linked to Xu Mo. Only by eliminating him could all problems be resolved.

Having seen the dark side of the entertainment industry, Xu Manni realized that she had many ways to handle the situation—pursuing legal action had become too conventional.

She could take the most direct approach!

“A car accident? Then I’ll make sure you get into a real one!”

Xu Manni had previously considered less direct methods. After all, blood is thicker than water, and she thought she shouldn’t go as far as taking Xu Mo’s life.

But now, with the situation as it was, it felt as though all the blame had been placed on her, making it unbearable for Xu Manni.

She was very aware that if news broke tomorrow claiming she had poisoned her own younger brother, her image would collapse entirely, and her career would be destroyed.

Xu Mo was undoubtedly using this situation to control her, either to ruin her career or send her to prison.

Although she couldn’t yet figure out Xu Mo’s exact methods, with his current wealth of tens of billions and extensive connections, anything was possible!

“Hello, Chen Anxiong? Brother Chen, it’s Xu Manni. I have something I’d like to discuss with you.” After some thought, she made a call to Chen Anxiong.

Chen Anxiong was quite famous in the entertainment industry, with connections on both sides of the law. His livestreaming company had previously collaborated with Xu Manni’s management company several times. Back when she entered the entertainment industry, Chen Anxiong had helped her a lot.

Moreover, Chen Anxiong used to be their neighbor, so Xu Manni had known him for a long time and had a good relationship with him.

Now, if she wanted to take down Xu Mo, contacting Chen Anxiong seemed the best choice!

…

Meanwhile, Xie Bingyan stopped concerning herself with Xu Manni. After resting for a while and regaining her strength, she hurried back to the villa in Xiahai City.

She quickly went upstairs to search, but unfortunately, she couldn’t find what she was looking for.

It seemed Xu Wanting hadn’t left the documents at home.

For some reason, Xie Bingyan suddenly felt an urgent need to see those documents. She had only glanced at the text once but couldn’t remember what was written on them.

She suddenly felt that the documents might be extremely important to her.

Unable to find the documents in Xu Wanting’s room, Xie Bingyan thought for a moment, hesitated briefly, and then walked toward a small room on the second floor.

This room… she hadn’t entered it in a long time—was it seven years, eight years, or even longer?

Whether Xu Mo was home or away, she had never come in.

But today, she wanted to take a look inside.

The room was small, and because no one had entered it for so long, the table and bed were covered in dust, with even a few cobwebs forming.

Xie Bingyan’s steps were light, as if she feared disturbing something. She quickly searched the room and soon realized that everything that had once been there was gone.

She didn’t know if Xu Wanting had taken the items, or if Xu Xuehui had taken them, but she could no longer find any trace that someone had once lived there.

Perhaps he had never really belonged there—his return was only temporary. In reality, after he left, he never came back.

It seemed like he had left this place, this hell, without a second thought!

Who poisoned him?

Did he really get poisoned?

Suddenly, Xie Bingyan felt her cheeks grow wet!
