Growing up, Mu Chenyan heard from her father that Yuan Tangbai was a national hero. He was also Mu Feng’s comrade who was like a brother to him because he was willing to risk his life for him.

His intimate relationship with the Yuan Family also allowed Mu Chenyan to freely walk into the Yuan Family’s compound and pursue Yuan Xuan for over a decade…

However, she was now forced to believe that the truth was completely different and the situation was actually the opposite!

The ‘hero’ had previously communicated with the leader of the rebels in secret. Meanwhile, had the descendant of her father’s close comrade bit the hand that fed him to conceal his father’s crimes?

It was hard for Mu Chenyan to accept it for a moment.

If this matter was ever exposed, the Yuan Family would not only be criminals in Luo Hai but in Country Z as well. Furthermore, the responsibility for these crimes would also involve the Mu Family.

It was extremely difficult to handle these matters in the current Country Z.

“Our father and a few of his trusted subordinates were the only ones who knew the scope of his control in this matter.

“However, it was still not stable over at Ze Da’s area. They were stirring up trouble everywhere and creating chaos. Since he had no other choice, our father asked the Capital City for help and remained in Xi Fan to maintain the peace before you were born that year.”

Mu Chenyan knew that she was living in Xi Fan before she was 10 years old.

Xi Fan’s vast sky and expansive territory had truly nurtured Mu Chenyan’s positive attitude that allowed her to continuously treat herself kindly when she encountered numerous unfair circumstances in the future. She could repeatedly forgive this cruel world…

“Brother, are you saying that everything our father did was to save the Yuan Family?”

Mu Chenyan’s voice trembled while her eyes were misty and blurred. A kind person like her could not understand this at all.

“Our father committed a capital offense for their sake but why did Yuan Xuan mistreat the Mu Family after that?

“This is the most despicable part of the Yuan Family!”

Mu Chenwu hit his fist against the gravestone while he spoke. His fist was tightly clenched but Mu Chenyan trembled with fear when she saw the worrying trails of blood. She tautly gripped her brother’s hand and wiped it before she shed tears from being distressed.

“Brother, don’t be like this. Yan’er is scared…”

Mu Chenyan lost her previous indifference when she stood before her brother. She fully resembled a helpless little girl whose eyes were brimming with tears. She infinitely trusted and relied upon her brother.

“Yan’er, there are too many things you don’t know! From the start, our father had never imagined that he would receive such unfair treatment when he returned to Luo Hai.”

“After our family returned from Xi Fan, he naively thought that the Yuan Family would remember his past favors so that they could peacefully coexist.”

Mu Chenwu bitterly laughed when he spoke. His father and him were so stupid that it was ridiculous. Mu Chenyan was also dumbfounded. For a very long time, she thought that Yuan Xuan’s treatment of the Mu Family stemmed from her being framed as Shu Qinger’s killer…

The background of this matter apparently involved reasons that were more complicated than the murder case…

Mu Chenwu had called Mu Chenyan out to clearly explain the entire story to her.

He continued, “Yuan Tangzhong knew that our father possessed some evidence of the previous incidents and he was afraid that our father would back out and report him while involving the Yuan Family and affecting his career. Thus, Yuan Tangzhong had always been determined to draw our father over to his side ever since we returned to Luo Hai.”

Mu Chenyan only understood now why her father became close to Yuan Tangzhong after returning to Luo Hai despite always being by Yuan Tangbai’s side in the past.

“However, since Yuan Tangzhong and Yuan Xuan did not get along, there were differences between their treatment of our father from the very beginning.”

“Yuan Tangzhong used policies that would pacify him and he attempted to use this method to control our father. Of course, he stood a chance of profiting from this. He could only prosper and advance within his circles by using our father’s financial support. He used our father as his right-hand man.”

“Conversely, Yuan Xuan was always a ruthless character who desired to get rid of our father all along and perpetually prevent future trouble.”

Mu Chenwu gnashed his teeth while speaking. He wished that he could skin Yuan Xuan alive.
