serious."Little Mu Xing, you go have dinner. I'll go get some stomach medicine first, oh."Wu Guanjia sighed and turned to leave.Mu Xing didn't go to the dining hall. She turned around and quickly walk...Twelve years ago, the fire at the Mu family's house was set by me.

Mu Xing had fully anticipated that the truth she had been desperately searching for would come so unexpectedly.

She stared fixedly at Lü Yuān, crimson bloodshot eyes spreading in her gaze. "Why"

"Mu Zhengnian has taken everything from me. He's gained wealth and fame, showered with praise, while I've been driven out of the capital, a laughingstock to everyone. I won't accept this!"

Recalling the unbearable past, Lu Yuan clenched his fists. In those eyes that were filled with weariness, an unstoppable flame erupted.

"It's Mu Zhengnian's own fault! He's the one who ruined your whole family!"

He looked at Mu Xing, his weathered face full of ferocity and arrogance. "I didn't expect you to be left as such a trouble, but what does it matter The glory of your Mu family has long since vanished with that fire years ago, reduced to ashes! In the end, I am the one who wins!"

Mu Xing trembled all over and suddenly kicked Lu Yuan with her foot.

Lu Yuan was kicked out and crashed heavily onto the LCD television.

The screen split open with grotesque fissures, Lu Yuan slid to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth in torrents. He seemed possessed, letting out a chilling, eerie laugh, "Come on, kill me! Avenge your families!"

Mu Xing's eyes were bloodshot and filled with a thirst for blood, as if they were about to spill. His breathing was ragged, his chest rising and falling violently, his lips trembling as he roared at Pei Rang: "Gun! Give me a gun!"

Pei Ren was so frightened that he shuddered, his eyes darted past her in a panic, seeking the man sitting on the sofa for guidance.

Fu Lingxiao looked at the girl, whose emotions were on edge and bordering on rage. A hint of sympathy flickered in his eyes. When Pei Rang cast him a glance, he hesitated for a few seconds before nodding.

Upon receiving permission, Pei Rang drew his pistol from his holster and handed it to Mu Xing with both hands.

Mu Xing took the gun, loaded it, and walked over with a fierce stride. She leaned down and pulled Lu Yuan up, pressing the muzzle against his temple. "Did you also hire someone to kill Uncle Feng"

Lu Yuan's eyes widened slightly, then he immediately replied, "Yes."

Mu Xing's eyes flashed with cruel killing intent, but her last shred of reason held her back from shooting immediately. "Who was the arsonist that year Who killed Sha Fengshu And how are they connected"

"Do you want to seek revenge on them Too bad, it's impossible. I already took care of them."

Lu Yuan opened his mouth, a sinister smile spreading across his face. Fresh blood trickled down from the corner of his lips and landed on Mu Xing's hand. "Killing me would avenge your whole family. Why don't you make a move Are you afraid"

"The entire Mu family perished, you alone survived for twelve years, living in squalor. Now the murderer stands before you, and you dare not pull the trigger. In a few days it will be Mu Zhengnian's death anniversary. Do you have the face to go to his grave and kowtow"

"Hahaha, Mu Zhengnian's daughter, that's all there is to her..."

"Bang!"

The deafening gunshot shattered the quiet morning.

Lu Yuan opened his cloudy eyes, a mocking expression frozen on his face. A bloody hole was clearly imprinted on his forehead.

"Bang!"

Another shot!

After a few seconds pause, came the third shot, then the fourth...

After fourteen gunshots, Lu Yuan's body was riddled with holes. A large pool of blood had gathered on the marble floor, staining Mu Xing's shoes red.

She tossed aside Lu Yuan, who was already lifeless, gasping for breath, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, tears rolling down her cheeks unconsciously.

Her face and body were spattered with blood, reeking of a heavy metallic scent. Her eyes stared fixedly at Lu Yuan in the pool of blood. She should have been relieved, yet she couldn't calm her agitation for a long time.

A large hand suddenly reached out, covering her bloodshot eyes. The next second, she was enveloped in a warm embrace, strong arms holding her trembling body tightly.

A man's gentle voice came from above, "It's over, baby. Everything is finished."

Mù Xīng disregarded the bloodstains on her body, burying her face in the man's chest, "Little Uncle, I'm so tired..."

"Come here, let me carry you upstairs to rest."

Fu Lingxiao scooped her up from the waist, his cold eyes glanced at Pei Ran, and he strode up the stairs with her in his arms.

Shen Lue stood outside the door, his expression complex as he witnessed everything. He silently leaped back onto the roof.

Pei Rang stood in the living room, waiting until the man's figure completely disappeared. He immediately called his men to drag away the body, clean up the bloodstains, and leave the manor.

The master bedroom.

Fu Lingxiao held Mu Xing and went to the bathroom to wash off the bloodstains on her body. He helped her change into a clean nightgown, gently placing her on the bed.

Mu Xing had already fallen into a deep sleep. Fu Lingxiao sat by the bed, looking at her pale little face, the guilt in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

"Starry, I'm sorry."

His eyes were slightly red, he held Mu Xing's icy-cold hand, his thin lips kissing the back of her hand, his throat felt like it was stuffed with thorns, pricking him with pain.

To use such despicable means to provoke her and stop her from continuing the investigation, he truly deserves to be punished!

But he really didn't want that so-called truth to ruin their future. As long as he could keep her by his side, he was willing to pay any price!

And Mu Xing, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly fell into a nightmare without any warning.

She leaned out the balcony, begging for help. She saw someone standing downstairs, and she carefully poked her head out to get a better look. Suddenly, a large hand reached out from behind and clamped tightly over her face.

Next, an arm wrapped around her belly and lifted her up.

She struggled desperately, but because her mouth and nose were covered, she gradually lost her strength. She was carried downstairs and thrown onto the living room floor. In her blurry vision, she saw a pair of black shoes walking away slowly.

The fire in the living room grew larger and larger, and in the thick smoke, she could vaguely see Mommy wake up.

Mommy held her, stumbling to the bathroom, and placed her in the bathtub. She turned on the water and weakly leaned against the edge of the tub, smiling and saying, "Don't be afraid."

A black figure suddenly loomed over, a big hand grabbed Mommy's head and shoved her hard into the water...

"No!"

Mu Xing suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, her chest rising and falling violently, her clothes soaked with cold sweat.

"Baby, what's wrong"

Fu Lingxiao hurriedly hugged her in his arms, his big hand gently stroking her thin back.

Mu Xing leaned against the man's chest, her blurry vision gradually becoming clearer. The moment she returned to reality, she felt as if her soul had been cut by a blade.

She blinked her eyes slowly, her thick eyelashes trembling. It took a very long time for a single, large tear to roll down her cheek.

"Uncle..."

She helplessly clutched at the man's clothes, like a wounded little animal she huddled in his arms, sobbing.

The usually lively and cheerful little girl was now as fragile as a porcelain doll that would shatter with the slightest touch. Fu Lingxiao had never seen her like this before, his heart aching for her.

"Baby, don't cry anymore. It's all over now."ree times."Do you understand"Mu Xing shook her head. "I don't understand."Shen Yi raised an eyebrow, "If you don't understand, just forget it. I wouldn't dare to teach you. If you want to know, ask La...
