There were only Mu Yanchen and Mu Guichao in the study. Unlike Mu Guichao who was obviously irritable, Mu Yanchen seemed to be surrounded by mountains and rivers, his mind was peaceful and distant, as if he was oblivious to all the changes in the outside world.

Seeing him in this state, Mu Guichao couldn't help but feel angry.

He threw the crystal ashtray on the desk towards where Mu Yanchen was sitting.

The ashtray was moving at a very high speed along a track that was very similar to a straight line. If it was hit in a short distance, it would definitely cause a bloody head.

But Mu Yanchen did not dodge or evade, he even leaned forward and reached out to pour himself a cup of hot tea.

This is the standard equipment in Mu Guichao's study. There is always a pot of tea on the table. It is never lacking and the supply never stops.

The tea used is Longjing tea from before the rain, the small clusters that have just sprouted are tender and fresh enough. The tea slowly becomes sweet in the mouth, and the aroma fills the entire mouth. It is indeed the best green tea.

If it weren’t for the Mu family’s status, they might not be able to drink such high-quality tea all the time.

He took a sip slowly, then put it down. In that brief moment, the ashtray passed by his forehead, lifting up a few strands of hair that were hanging in front of his forehead.

The floor was covered with thick and soft carpet, so the ashtray did not end up being smashed into pieces, but only made a dull sound.

Mu Guichao seemed to have little strength left to throw the ashtray. As he vented his anger, the strength in his body seemed to be drained. He was breathing heavily, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, so fine that they were barely noticeable.

His body also rose and fell, as if he was so tired that he would collapse at any moment.

His amiable expression gradually collapsed, his eyes glared at Mu Yanchen, veins on his forehead faintly emerged, and his lips turned an unhealthy purple. He muttered to himself, "How could this happen? I clearly took the medicine, how could this happen!"

He took a few unsteady steps to Mu Yanchen, grabbed his collar with both hands, and pulled him up hard, but Mu Yanchen remained motionless.

Mu Yanchen was also kind-hearted and cooperated with his actions. After he struggled for several times, he slowly stood up from the sofa.

He looked down at the man who looked completely different from the man in the banquet hall just now, and chuckled.

That extremely sarcastic smile hurt Mu Guichao's eyes.

"why are you laughing!"

He almost yelled.

"When did you start taking those medicines?"

What Mu Guichao cared about most was his own health. When he was questioned at this time, he actually calmed down and thought seriously.

"About half a year ago."

"That was not long after Sheng Baiyi died."

Mu Guichao didn't know how much Mu Yanchen knew, but he didn't expect that Mu Yanchen could discuss the life and death of that person so calmly. Could it be that the rumor was false? Was his true love not Sheng Baiyi?

His tone was as if he was just recounting the experience of an insignificant person.

Although he was suspicious, Mu Guichao couldn't help but discuss the problems with those medicines.

"Yes, that was the time."

"So," Mu Yanchen's phoenix eyes with upturned ends looked over, his dark pupils like black whirlpools, leaving no room for evasion, "You took the information?"

"What? Do you suspect that I murdered Sheng Baiyi? And stole the information?"

Mu Yanchen looked like he thought so.

"Save some money. All I want is that piece of information. As for who killed her, you have to investigate it yourself. Of course, I really don't care whether she is dead or not."

"Heh," Mu Yanchen laughed, "Are you sure that the information is credible?"

After hearing this, Mu Guichao's face immediately turned ugly, making his already deteriorating complexion even worse.

Mu Yanchen only mentioned it once. Mu Guichao was not a fool. He had lived in the Mu residence for so many years. Who could question their IQ? He immediately realized what went wrong.

Mu Yanchen found his unpredictable expression funny. He was fooled without realizing it, and thought those people were really loyal to him? But now he was sure that although Mu Guichao coveted those research reports, he did not commit the crime of murdering Sheng Baiyi. As for who acted on his own initiative, killing two birds with one stone, it was not difficult for him to guess from Mu Guichao's expression.

“I’ve been eating it for half a year!”

Mu Guichao roared at the top of his lungs.

"so what?"

"At that time, all the experts said that the information was correct!" Mu Guichao roared in collapse, staggering and falling into the swivel chair. He suddenly looked like an old man in his twilight years, as if all the vitality had been drained away.

“Can your experts be trusted?”

Mu Yanchen was guiding him step by step, pushing Mu Guichao to the edge of the cliff little by little.

"Duan Lu Chong said they are trustworthy, no problem!"

"Duan Luchong is fine? He is always on his own, isn't he? Did he murder Sheng Baiyi on his own initiative? And then he took the power from Ji Zhengxuan on his own initiative?"

There was no light in Mu Guichao's eyes at this time. Once he started talking, it was a foregone conclusion. He thought he was smart, but he was always being played around by the people around him.

"He killed Sheng Baiyi, firstly to cut off the antidote's escape route, targeting all the men in the Mu family, including you and me, and secondly to completely defeat me, so that they would have one less obstacle. As for you, you have been taking poison for half a year under the control of others, and you are now like this. Their plan is almost successful!"

Mu Yanchen smiled at him, "Guess how long Mu Yingfeng can hold out tonight. I think that besides you, Mu Yingfeng must have taken the so-called antidote or medicine that delays the onset of the disease. After all, you have been acting like a loving father and a filial son."

"Stop talking!" Mu Guichao didn't want to hear from Mu Yanchen how he failed. He tried his best, but could only make a hoarse sound. Even the energy in his body was almost dissipated.

Mu Yanchen did not stop, "Then he gained your absolute trust. That's right, you entrusted your physical condition to him, so when he later snatched the power from Ji Zhengxuan, you thought he was loyal to you and cleared the surrounding threats, but what could you do? The Ji Zhengxuan with a broken leg might have been your most loyal supporter at the beginning, but you gave up on him without mercy."

Mu Guichao looked dejected. He raised his head slightly and looked at the man who was as dazzling as before. "What about you? How much better can you be than me? You are also poisoned. You won't live long."

"Well, it's okay. I just have to be later than you. I never thought about how long I would live," he said calmly.

After saying that, he turned around. He had gotten what he wanted. As for Mu Guichao, he would not survive the night.
