Duan Luchong rushed to the banquet hall quickly after receiving the news. When he came out of the secret passage and saw that everything was still in order, he knew in his heart that he had been deceived.

If Mu Yingfeng and the others really delayed the onset of the disease, then they would definitely announce the successor as soon as possible, so as to prevent the Mu family from falling into a mess. And after the successor was announced, the guests in the venue would not gather in groups and talk about their own things as he saw now.

They will certainly seize this opportunity to get close to the young successor in order to obtain the greatest benefit for the family.

So they must not have announced the most important things yet!

Duan Luchong was holding the intercom. He had no time to discuss who the traitor was. He knew that Mu Yingfeng and the others were dead tonight, and the most important thing for him now was to rush back to the sanatorium. Mu Daying was still there, and she had the key to the Cai family.

As long as tonight passes, they will have the bargaining power in the Cai family. After that, the sky will be wide open and no one can stop them!

Duan Luchong was about to enter the secret passage again, but was blocked by the man in black who suddenly appeared.

"Get out of the way! Do you know who I am?" Duan Lu Chong was not panicked at this time. He was the housekeeper in the Mu family. Except for Mu Yingfeng and Mu Guichao, no one could order him to do anything, not even Song Si.

He held up his glasses, and a barely perceptible chill like a cold arrow shot from its sheath flashed across his eyes.

The superior's aura instantly rose several dimensions, and the people in front of him were like flies on a grass.

But the people in front of him were not from the Mu residence after all, and they did not obey orders from Mu Yingfeng or Mu Guichao. They stepped forward and captured Duan Lu Chong decisively.

Duan Luchong had never suffered such humiliation before. He was used to being superior. At this moment, his arms were bent behind his back and his waist was pressed. He had to bend over, making him shorter than others. When he raised his head, he could only look up.

He gritted his teeth and looked at the people in front of him angrily, "Do you know who I am? When I take control of the Mu family, none of you will be able to escape!"

The man in black in front of him just did his job and ignored any response like this.

Duan Luchong's gentle appearance was torn to pieces, and his glasses were no longer straight due to the struggle, hanging crookedly on his face, revealing his cold eyes.

There was a creaky sound as if something was rolling over the carpet. Duan Luchong tilted his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from through the crooked lenses.

I saw Ji Zhengxuan wearing a neat suit and sitting in a wheelchair being pushed over. His face seemed to have changed a lot. He looked paler and more well-behaved than before, as if he had really experienced a great ordeal. All the sharpness in his body had been smoothed out, and the nails on his face that used to be symbols of his identity had all been removed, leaving only the black earrings that shone brightly under the light.

Ji Zhengxuan was pushed to a place only one meter away from Duan Luchong. His face was calm. His eyelids drooped a little, perhaps because of the injury. His whole face was calmer than before. He no longer had the arrogance and domineering attitude, and no longer behaved in a domineering manner.

He was like facing an old friend, peaceful but not much to be missed.

There was a flash of surprise in Duan Luchong's eyes but it was soon replaced by ridicule. His gaze swept over Ji Zhengxuan's empty trouser leg. There used to be a healthy leg there that could support a 1.9-meter-tall man, but now there was only such a short section left.

Duan Luchong grinned. He seldom smiled like this, but when he saw Ji Zhengxuan's miserable and disabled appearance, his heart couldn't help but leap for joy, so much so that he could hardly control his expression.

"Why, a stray dog ​​dares to show off in front of me?"

Ji Zhengxuan was not very angry, because all his anger was vented in the villa. The moment he walked out of the villa, he was no longer the same Ji Zhengxuan.

He raised his eyelashes, "I didn't come here to reminisce about the past with you. I was killed by you at that time because I was not as skilled as you. I was a little too complacent, thinking that I would be different in front of Mu Guichao. After all, I have been with him for so many years."

Seeing that Ji Zhengxuan's pale face showed little emotion, Duan Lu Chong was dissatisfied. "Becoming disabled can make people become cowards? Isn't that very unlike you?"

"As a human being, some changes are necessary." Ji Zhengxuan wanted to put his hands on his legs and pat them, but he forgot that there was an empty space there. He smiled bitterly. Yes, he was indeed disabled now, and some habits should be changed, just as he said.

He continued, "Mu Guichao is having an attack. Are you very proud of yourself? Everything is going according to your plan?"

Duan Luchong's face twisted into a look of panic after hearing this, but he managed to control himself. "What's the plan?"

Only then did Ji Zhengxuan smile from the bottom of his heart, but his bloodless lips did not look good at all when he smiled, "You don't think you can still hide the truth now, do you?"

"Their poisoning is the top secret in the Mu residence. It is common for them to get sick. You are also one of the witnesses. How come I become the unforgivable person in your mouth?"

Ji Zhengxuan calmly observed Duan Luchong's expression. His glasses were crooked, revealing most of his face. His eyes could no longer hide his emotions because they had been hiding behind lenses for so many years, and some panic was revealed.

Perhaps he didn't know what was going on in the sanatorium. Also, he thought too little of the girl and believed that he had used enough medicine. He was too conceited to even bother to check and ran to the banquet hall as soon as he heard the news.

Yes, the eve of harvest always makes people anxious and relaxed.

They chose this night to do everything, and I don't know whether it was good or bad.

Ji Zhengxuan silently recalled the scene in the villa where the girl carefully gave acupuncture to his broken leg. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would have been the one to fall down.

Sometimes, how can we tell the difference between blessing and curse?

When he looked at his broken leg, he no longer had the initial sense of self-abandonment, but instead showed some warmth.

The room was very quiet. Only Ji Zhengxuan spoke to Duan Luchong with an expressionless face. Every word he spoke was like a knife leaping on Duan Luchong's heart. Every time the knife was swung down, a visible scar would be formed, with blood gushing out.

Duan Luchong's expression changed from pretending to be calm at the beginning to collapsing later on.

He almost shouted, "What did you do to Daiying?"

This time, Ji Zhengxuan laughed. He could not imagine that the cold-faced fox, the two-faced gentleman, was actually a love saint! The only information they hurriedly found showed that Duan Lu Chong actually had a connection with the Cai family.

And that was the beginning of their ill-fated relationship.
