I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

Another tall and thin man took over the conversation: "I heard that there is new evidence in Xu Muze's case, and Fourth Uncle will be called to the police station to cooperate with the investigation."

"Doesn't that mean that things are more complicated than we thought?" a young woman interrupted, a hint of worry in her voice.

"Yeah, I think this matter is not over yet," the fat woman shook her head and turned her eyes to the door again. "I really don't know if Fourth Uncle can help."

Lu Yining stood aside, listening to these discussions, and sneered in her heart. She knew that these people's worries were unnecessary. Sheng Nanting was never someone who easily compromised. He had his own principles and bottom line.

"Mom, what should we do? Should we go back first?" Lu Yining walked over and asked Zhang Xiumin softly.

Zhang Xiumin looked up at her, her eyes full of helplessness: "Yining, how do you think Fourth Uncle will handle this matter? Will he...really ignore us?"

Lu Yining's eyes softened. She patted Zhang Xiumin's shoulder gently and said softly, "Don't worry, Fourth Uncle has his own way. Let's go home and wait for news."

Zhang Xiumin nodded, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned to Xu Shengli and said, "Shengli, let's go back first."

Xu Shengli sighed heavily, nodded, and then stood up to leave.

Just as they were packing up, the waiter suddenly walked into the box and handed a letter to Lu Yining.

"Miss, a gentleman asked me to give this to you." The waiter said respectfully.

Lu Yining took the envelope and frowned. She opened it and found a piece of paper with the words: "See you at the old house in the south of the city at 7pm."

There was no signature on the note, but Lu Yining had already guessed it. She put the note in her bag and said to her parents calmly, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to the bathroom."

After saying that, she turned and walked out of the box, secretly deciding in her heart that no matter what happened, she would see the truth of it all with her own eyes.

At the same time, in the lobby of Yueting Hotel, a group of customers were waiting for their friends to arrive. One of them, a young man dressed fashionably, couldn't help but smile playfully when he saw Lu Yining hurriedly leaving the private room.

"Hey, look, the girl who just went out seems very nervous." He said to his friend next to him.

"Well, it looks like something urgent." Another young man nodded in agreement.

"I don't know what kind of trouble she's in. I hope she can solve it." The first young man shrugged and continued chatting with his friend.

As night fell, Lu Yining followed the instructions on the note and arrived at the old house in the south of the city. It had been abandoned for a long time and was quiet, with only a few dim streetlights barely illuminating the road.

Lu Yining stood in front of the old house, feeling a little uneasy. Suddenly, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Sheng Nanting slowly approaching, his eyes still cold and sharp.

"Fourth Uncle, what exactly do you want me to do?" Lu Yining asked, with a hint of urgency in his voice.

Sheng Nanting stopped and stared at Lu Yining, his tone calm and firm: "What happened today is not simple. There are some things you need to understand."

Lu Yining was slightly stunned, then asked, "What's the matter?"

Sheng Nanting's eyes became deeper, and he slowly said, "There are some things about Xu Muze that neither you nor your parents know. Tonight, I will tell you everything."

Lu Yining's heartbeat quickened. She vaguely felt that the truth that was about to be revealed tonight would completely change everyone's fate.

Sheng Nanting turned and walked towards the old house, and said lightly: "Follow me."

Lu Yining followed closely behind, her doubts and curiosity growing stronger. She had no idea what kind of storm this night would bring. Lu Yining followed Sheng Nanting into the old house. The air was filled with dust and musty smells. The door of the old house creaked shut, isolating it from the outside world. The dim light inside the house, against the mottled walls, seemed particularly depressing.

"Fourth Uncle, why is this place so dilapidated?" Lu Yining couldn't help but ask.

"No one has lived here for a long time," Sheng Nanting said coldly, "but now is a good time to discuss some important matters."

He led Lu Yining through a narrow corridor to a small room. There was a table and a few chairs in the room, with some documents on the table. Sheng Nanting sat down and motioned for Lu Yining to sit down as well.

After Lu Yining sat down, she became more and more uneasy. She knew that these documents must be related to Xu Muzhe.

"Fourth Uncle, you said you wanted to tell me the truth. What is it?" Lu Yining asked eagerly.

Sheng Nanting's eyes flickered, and he was silent for a while before he slowly spoke: "Xu Muze's case is not as simple as you think. In fact, he was framed by someone."

Lu Yining's eyes widened in disbelief: "Set up? How could this happen? Who did it?"

Sheng Nanting sighed slightly: "This matter involves many aspects. Someone wants to cover up the truth, so they used this method."

"Then why do they do this?" Lu Yining's voice trembled slightly.

"Because they have greater interests at stake," Sheng Nanting said, "and some of these people are old acquaintances of your parents."

Hearing this, Lu Yining's face turned pale. She recalled the discussion of the relatives in the box just now. Behind those usually amiable faces, there were such dark intentions.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the door, as if someone was arguing. Sheng Nanting's eyes flashed, and he stood up quickly.

"Fourth Uncle, what happened?" Lu Yining asked nervously.

"It seems that we are not alone." Sheng Nanting said coldly, then walked to the door and gently pushed it open.

Several men in black stood outside the door, holding knives and clubs. Their intentions were clearly ill-intentioned. The burly man in the lead sneered, "Sheng Nanting, you've finally shown up. This time, we're going to shut you and that girl up forever!"

Lu Yining's heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to remain calm. She looked at Sheng Nanting, and seeing that he was fearless, she felt more confident.

"Fourth Uncle, what should we do with these people?" Lu Yining asked in a low voice.

Sheng Nanting patted her shoulder gently, his eyes full of confidence: "Don't worry, everything is under control. They will pay the price for what they have done."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Nanting suddenly pounced on the men in black, his movements swift and sharp. There was only the sound of swords clashing and cries of pain. In less than a few minutes, the men in black had been subdued and fell to the ground groaning.

A few passersby, not far from the door, were stunned by the scene. One middle-aged man exclaimed in astonishment, "Oh my God, what's going on? That guy looks like he's from the special forces!"
