Join was about to say something when Xuan Er interrupted him and continued, "It's no use for you to explain. As long as we go to Great Grandfather together and confront him, everything will be revealed!"

Seeing Xuan'er using Xiao Jincheng to pressure him, Join said coldly: "Since you doubt us, why don't you go directly to the master? Why are you wasting time talking to me here!"

"Because I want to know the truth!" Xuan'er said with a determined look, "I don't want to cause you any trouble either. As long as you tell me what you really want, I will naturally not get entangled with you. Think about it carefully. If I bring this to Great Grandfather, I won't lose anything. After all, you told me everything, so I don't have to bear any responsibility at all. But you... you should be able to guess what the outcome will be!"

Looking deeply at Xuan'er, Join felt that this child was truly terrifying! His thoughts and words were beyond the ability of an adult to cope with. Who knew what he would become when he grew up.

Seeing that Join was no longer so insistent, Xuan'er smiled and said, "If I were you, I would definitely tell you the truth, because even a child like me can see that Lilith doesn't take you seriously at all. Why do you still want to take risks for her? Tell me what you really think, it will benefit everyone!"

Now, Join no longer dared to underestimate Xuan'er. After careful consideration, he said, "Okay, I can tell you the truth. It doesn't matter to me anyway. There's no need for me to get involved in this mess."

Hearing this, Xuan'er's heart moved, and he listened carefully to Join's words.

"In fact, the person who really harmed your father was Xiao Jincheng. He wanted to control your father, but failed, so he came up with this method to manipulate the Xiao family in his name."

"Can my father recover?"

Join shook his head and said, "It's physical damage, there's no way to recover. The most we can do is treat it, and it might make him less irritable."

After hearing what Join said, Xuan'er was very sad. Is it possible that his father, who was once so powerful, will be locked up in the future?

No, there are still Grandpa Wan and Uncle Dongfang. They must have a way to make Dad return to normal!

Join thought that Xuan'er would cry when he knew the truth, but his sadness was short-lived. When he looked up again, he had regained his clarity of mind.

"You better not lie to me, otherwise, I will make you regret it!"

After giving the warning, Xuan'er turned and left, leaving Join looking at Xuan'er's back, thoughtful.

Originally, Join was on Lilith's side, thinking that fooling the little brat would be no problem. But after interacting with Xuan'er, he completely changed his mind. It seemed that he couldn't continue to go crazy with that woman Lilith!

Returning to his room, Xuan'er stared at the gun in front of him in a daze, not even noticing when Xiao Jincheng came in.

"I heard that you went to see Join today?"

Suddenly coming back to his senses, Xuan'er looked at Xiao Jincheng behind him. He didn't show any fear, but nodded politely and said, "Well, I accidentally hurt my hand while assembling the gun today. I was worried that the wound would not heal well and affect my assembly speed, so I went to find a doctor."

Xiao Jincheng still showed a kind smile, coughed twice, and asked, "There are so many doctors here, why did you choose to find Join?"

"Lilith told me."

Xuan'er didn't want to help Lilith clean up the mess. She wanted to use her, and she couldn't let her get away with it. As for how to smooth things over, that was her problem.

Xiao Jincheng didn't expect Xuan'er to respond so matter-of-factly, and he couldn't figure out what Xuan'er was thinking.

With a slightly darkened look, Xiao Jincheng looked at the pistol in front of Xuan'er and said, "It seems that you are already very familiar with the structure of the gun. Next time, I will let you teach the actual operation and practice how to use this thing to save your life."

Hearing this, Xuan'er's eyes lit up and he said, "Grandpa, are you going to teach me how to practice shooting?"

"What, you're looking forward to it?"

Xuan Er nodded and said, "If I can use a gun, I can protect myself."

"Do you feel any danger here?"

Xiao Jincheng was indeed very cunning. He unknowingly wove a net for Xuan'er to jump into.

Xuan'er understood Xiao Jincheng's intention, but he tilted his head, feigning ignorance, and said, "Danger? I didn't feel it. I just wanted to protect Mommy and my sister. There are always bad guys targeting them, and I'm a man, so of course I have to protect their safety."

After taking a closer look at Xuan'er, Xiao Jincheng seemed to believe what he said. He nodded and said, "Our Xuan'er is indeed a very responsible child. Since you like it, I will let you use the gun starting tomorrow. Remember to study hard, and I will check your learning results at any time."

"Yes."

After patting Xuan'er's hair, Xiao Jincheng had someone push him away and left Xuan'er's room.

When there was no one around, Xuan'er fell silent again.

If it was really Grandpa who hurt Dad, no matter how good he was to me, he would never be forgiven! But now all the words were heard from Join, so the truth of the matter still needs to be investigated.

But how could I find out by myself? Acting rashly would only alert my great-grandfather, so I had to be fully prepared.

Just when Xuan'er was thinking hard, Lao Fang came in with lunch, stood beside Xuan'er with a smile, and said, "It's time to eat!"

Turning back, Xuan'er took the plate and said with a smile, "Thank you, Grandpa Wan."

"Hey, why are you still so polite? Come and eat!"

Watching Xuan'er eat bite by bite, Lao Fang smiled happily. The longer he was with this child, the more he liked him. Xuan'er was smart, sensible, and considerate. He seemed unusually warm in the cold Xiao family.

But Lao Fang didn't know how long Xuan'er could maintain this state. After all, he had witnessed Xiao Jincheng's ability to destroy people. No matter how outstanding a child was, he would become unrecognizable in his hands.

As if sensing Old Fang's lament, Xuan'er looked up, looked at him and asked, "Grandpa Fang, what's wrong with you?"

Shaking his head hurriedly, Lao Fang said, "It's okay. I'm old and not in good health. My joints are a little sore."

When Xuan'er heard this, he quickly pulled a chair and said, "Then sit down and have a rest."

"That won't do. If someone sees me, they'll scold me."

"But I don't have any surveillance cameras here anymore, so who would know? Please sit down for a while." Seeing that Lao Fang was still insisting, Xuan'er deliberately put on a stern face and said, "If you don't sit down, then I won't eat!"

Seeing that Xuan'er really put down his chopsticks, Lao Fang had no choice but to sit next to Xuan'er.

After taking a sip of soup, Xuan'er thought for a moment and asked, "Grandpa Fang, when did my father become like this?"
