Lin Jie held a cup of hot tea and knocked on the study door.
"Mr. He, your tea!"
He had just sent Su Mengyuan back to Su's house, and after finishing everything, he rushed back.
He Tingchen took a sip of hot tea and pinched the bridge of his nose to relieve the fatigue of his brain.
Lin Jie hesitated for a while, but then boldly expressed his thoughts.
"Mr. He, I feel that the old lady's poison was not caused by Miss Mu. I suspect there is a behind-the-scenes hand."
The moment He Tingchen raised his eyes, his cold eyes shot towards Lin Jie like swords, and his voice was even more chilling to the bone.
"Do you trust her so much?"
The cold voice made Lin Jie tremble all over, and his heart almost stopped with fear.
He quickly explained, "Mr. He, I just think this matter is a bit strange. Miss Mu doesn't look like a stupid person. She could just put medicine in the food cooked by the chef. Why should she put medicine in the tonic she stewed?
Is the crime really on my head?"
If Mu Ningxi wanted to take action, she could have done it long ago, why wait until now?
No one with any brain would do this to poison Mrs. He in the He family's old house!
Seeing that He Tingchen was silent and did not speak, Lin Jie did not dare to speak and waited quietly aside.
After a while, He Tingchen let go of the teacup in his hand and whispered: "Arrange for someone to check everyone in the old house."
"Miss Mu's side..." Lin Jie asked cautiously.
He Tingchen made the decision without hesitation: "She doesn't need it!"
From his boss's reaction, Lin Jie came to the conclusion that he was being smart again just now.
He can see things, how could his boss be so smart and not understand it?
If he didn't trust Mu Ningxi, he wouldn't let her treat the old lady.
Or maybe, their boss never doubted Mu Ningxi from the beginning to the end.
If there is true suspicion, according to Su Mengyuan, wouldn't it be both labor-saving and efficient to send the person directly to the police station for interrogation?
She also urgently dispatched bodyguards to her room. Why did it look more like she was protecting rather than guarding?
Sure enough, the boss was very confused and couldn't figure it out.
"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away!"
Lin Jie slowly retreated.
…
Early the next morning, after Mu Ningxi woke up, she went to Mu Nian'an's room, packed it up for him and bowed.
Mu Nian'an opened her eyes drowsily and looked at her sleepily, "Mommy, are we leaving here?"
"Yes!" Mu Ningxi nodded at him. She didn't want her affairs with the He family to affect Mu Nian'an.
Under the circumstances like last night, He Tingchen did not wake up the sleeping Mu Nian'an. They acquiesced that children were not involved in matters between adults.
"This is not our home. When Grandma He recovers from her illness, it's time for us to leave, you know?"
Mu Nian'an guessed that something must have happened that he didn't know about, otherwise his mother would not have been in such a hurry to leave.
But since his mother doesn't want to say anything, he won't ask.
"Mommy, wait for me, I'll be fine soon!"
After saying that, Mu Nian'an quickly stood up and rushed into the bathroom.
Five minutes later, he packed himself up and came out of the bathroom. His clothes were neatly dressed, and Mu Ningxi didn't need to worry at all.
They came to the old house just for a temporary stay and didn't bring many things with them.
Mu Ningxi quickly packed up and led Mu Nian'an downstairs.
As soon as the two of them walked downstairs, they met the old housekeeper.
Seeing that they were about to leave, the old housekeeper quickly stopped them.
"Young Madam, where are you taking the young master?"
"Housekeeper He, thank you for taking care of me and An An during this period." Mu Ningxi smiled sincerely at the other party and expressed her inner gratitude, "Mrs. He's illness is almost recovered, we should also
gone!"
The old housekeeper looked at Mu Ning Xi with some embarrassment, "Mrs. Madam, the young master will find out the matter soon. I believe it has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to leave."
Mu Ningxi's attitude was still resolute. She was originally going to leave, but she never found a suitable opportunity.
Now, it has reached the point where she has to leave.
Seeing that he couldn't stop him, the old butler could only let go. The moment he looked up, he happened to see a familiar figure appear. The old butler, who was originally full of frustration, suddenly smiled as if he saw hope.
"Master, you came just in time. Hurry up and persuade Miss Mu not to leave!"
