Chapter 812: Conflict (19)

However, she did not say anything else. In any case, she would keep a close eye on him when the time came. Thinking of something, she said, “But why is Old Master Meng so stupid? He wants Mu Huan to have something with you to completely cut off the possibility of Mu Huan and Junyan being together. He should have secretly used drugs on Mu Huan. How could he have succeeded in doing such a thing so openly?!”

Just like what happened with Bai Xuexian last time. First, she sneaked the drug on Mu Huan, then she used those people to force her to be unable to escape even if she had wings. Wouldn’t this matter be settled if the Old Master had done it that way? But he had done it so openly that he ended up not forcing Mu Huan and instead hurt himself. This matter had yet to be resolved!

How stupid!

Gu Qianru had originally thought that the plan would go as she had imagined. Old Master Meng had secretly used the drug on Mu Huan first, then surrounded Mu Huan with so many people to prevent her from escaping. He had cut off all possibility of her seeking outside help, making it impossible for her to escape even if she had wings. Therefore, she had thought that this matter would definitely succeed!

It was only when Gu Chenyi returned that she found out about the exact situation. She had wanted to tell Gu Chenyi earlier if Old Master Meng was a fool to do it that way, but before she could, her husband came looking for her.

Now she couldn’t help it.

“It’s not that the Old Master is a fool, it’s that he knows very well what kind of person Uncle Junyan is. Let’s not talk about Bai Xuexian drugging Mu Huan. Mu Huan turned out fine, and she’s done with that matter. But Mom, remember how Uncle had a very good friend in the past? After they went through life and death situations, I felt that Uncle’s relations.h.i.+p with that person was closer and that that person was more trusted than any of us. But after that person betrayed Uncle, what did Uncle do? He didn’t hesitate to let that person die without even a burial place.”

Of course, they all knew that if he had secretly used the medicine on Mu Huan, coupled with the fact that there were so many people surrounding and attacking her, Mu Huan would definitely not have been able to flee even with her wings spread. This would definitely have created an established fact.

However, if things had gone well, they would be finished too. They would not be able to escape unscathed.

This was not what they wanted.

“Uncle is a ruthless person. Just like what you said just now, things would have worked out that way. However, after we succeeded, the price that we would have to pay is unimaginable.” If he had eloped with Mu Huan, no matter how angry and pained his uncle was, he would not have done anything to them.

He would only make sure that Mu Huan really wanted to be with him and then forbid them from appearing in front of him again.

However, if Mu Huan did not agree to it and she did not cooperate with them—if she said that she had eloped with him unwillingly and that they had secretly used drugs on her and forced her to do it, then he and Old Master Meng would be finished.

That was why Old Master Meng had put in so much effort to use his power to gamble on the slim success rate of the first plan. He had even arranged for the second plan, which was that if Mu Huan disagreed, she would definitely hurt him. If she hurt him, he could fly into a rage and blow the matter up.

This not only allowed him to get away safely, but he could also attack, retreat, and attack again. Regardless of which path Mu Huan chose, it would be a mistake and a crime.

“Why? Would he let you and his grandfather die without a burial place over a woman?” Gu Qianru snorted. She felt that Bo Junyan would never treat the two of them like this. They were his most important relatives!

“It’s not to the extent of us dying without a burial site, but it’s definitely going to result in both me and the Old Master becoming cripples. If the truth about Mu Huan being drugged was confirmed, the Old Master would probably end up like the Mu family’s matriarch. If I’m lucky, I might end up becoming a fool or a disabled person for the rest of my life.”
