chasing the dark

Chapter 218 Reasons
After eating, he packed up the bowls and chopsticks, Ye Zhanzhou made grapefruit tea, and dragged Jiang Yu to the living room to sit down.

"Now tell me, what did you find?"

Jiang Yu bit his lip, and it took him a long time to say: "If... I mean, one day you suddenly found out that you have a half-brother, what would you do?"

"Huh?!" Ye Zhanzhou had a weird expression on his face, "This assumption is not valid in our family, just like my father, except for my mother, I am afraid that no woman would dare to lean towards him. You don't think that yes……"

He suddenly stopped, and waved his hands: "Hey...you messed it up."

Jiang Yu instantly understood what he meant, and said angrily, "What are you thinking? My dad is not that kind of person!"

Not to mention whether Jiang Yu's father may have cheated on him, it has been nearly nine years since the case back then, and he is only six years old, so it cannot be her younger brother.

"I didn't say that!" Ye Zhanzhou hurriedly clarified, and moved closer to the little girl, "Let me guess again, it's..."

He thought for a while, and changed his way of saying: "Tu's first name is Xu Jinliang, and he should have followed the promised surname. If he followed his father's surname, shouldn't he be called...Mu Jinliang?"

Jiang Yu was stunned: "You... how do you know?"

She had a reason for thinking so, but Ye Zhanzhou didn't know the reason.

"It can make you so nervous, it means that this person is very close to you. You know his family's affairs very well, so you have doubts. This person..." Ye Zhanzhou snorted, his tone was a little sour, "It's just Only Mu Feng is left."

"Also, you and Xu Nuo got acquainted because she gave psychological counseling a few years ago. The age gap between you is relatively large, and your life circles don't overlap. After you don't need to continue to go to her studio, you have no contact. At most, they send out blessing messages during the New Year's Eve. Back then, it was Mu Chengzhi who asked someone to find out about the promise. So..."

Ye Zhanzhou spread his hands and did not continue talking.

Jiang Yu raked his hair with a sad face: "If all this is true, what should we do?"

"Squeezing hair will only make you bald, and it won't do anything." Ye Zhanzhou took her hands away from her head, "Tell me your reason first."

Jiang Yu sat up straight: "First, Xu Jinliang's name is Xu Jinliang, which doesn't sound like much at first glance. But I heard from Mu Feng that Uncle Mu's generation character is 'Cheng', and his current life is 'Jin'. When Feng was born, he didn't pay attention to the use of generational characters. The maternity ward where Aunt Qing was hospitalized was facing a field of red maples, so he was called Mu Feng. The second is Xipinghou..."

"Isn't the Marquis of Xiping just a noble title? In ancient my country, there were five male princes and uncles, and there may have been more than one Marquis of Xiping in history." Although Ye Zhanzhou is not familiar with history, he still knows this bit of common sense.

"There is more than one, but Zhu Yuanzhang killed 34 of the [-] founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty. Among the remaining four is Xiping Hou Muying." Jiang Yu said, "He is the adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, and Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor. Later, he was given the surname Mu, which means eternal Mu emperor's grace."

"Mu Feng said that their family is Mu Ying's descendant?" Ye Zhanzhou curled his lips, "He's pretty good at showing off."

"I didn't say it on purpose." Jiang Yu didn't have time to pay attention to his ambiguity. "When I was young, he always checked my homework for me. When I looked back at my history homework, he told me that his grandfather had said this. However, in ancient times, The servants will also follow the master's surname. Whether their family is related to Muying or not is not a matter of fact."

"Is there any more?" Ye Zhanzhou asked.

Jiang Yu thought for a while and said, "When I saw Tuo, I thought he was very cute. Now that I think about it, it is a kind of intimacy. He seems to promise a lot, but his eyes are just like Mu Feng's. Also, when the word 楉 is taken apart, it is a combination of the surname Mu and the name Xu Xu."

Ye Zhanzhou handed her the grapefruit tea: "It sounds reasonable."

"It's not difficult to prove it." Jiang Yu took the cup and drank it in a big gulp.

It is not difficult to get the DNA samples of Mu Chengzhi and Tuo.

"After it's confirmed, what do you want to do?"

For Jiang Yu, this was the biggest problem.

She put down the cup and rubbed her face irritably: "Aunt Qing has always been very kind to me, especially after my family had an accident, she is just like my mother. Not to mention Mu Feng, who has taken my brother's place since he was a child ..."

These two people are no different from her relatives. Even Mu Chengzhi once worried about her.

Jiang Yu has always been grateful to the Mu family, and she doesn't want any of them to be hurt.

But now...if everything is true, what will happen when Wang Qing and Mu Feng learn that their husband and father have betrayed them?Jiang Yu didn't dare to think about it.

A warm hand brushed her back, and she was pulled into a warm embrace.

"This matter is indeed tangled. Don't think too much about it. Wait until your mind calms down before thinking about it."

Jiang Yu buried his head in his arms, and said sullenly: "It's fine if you don't know, but now... I can't pretend that nothing happened. When I think of Aunt Qing's sad appearance, I feel bad. And Mu Feng..."

"Caring about other men in front of your boyfriend, isn't it inappropriate?" Ye Zhanzhou opened the distance between the two, held the little girl's face, and bit her lips.

This move successfully diverted Jiang Yu's attention. She realized that she was so nervous that she seemed to have some ambiguous relationship with Mu Feng.

"It's not what you think, Mu Feng and I..."

Ye Zhanzhou didn't let her continue to explain: "I know there's no need to be jealous of him, but when I think of that guy, I still can't control it."

Hearing that there was something in his words, Jiang Yu tentatively asked, "What do you mean?"

"You think you keep the secret well?" Ye Zhanzhou pinched her face, "If I don't know, can I let you associate with him?"

Jiang Yu was at a loss for words, any thoughts that came to this man would always let him see through.

"...Uh, how do you know?"

"I'm not like you, I'm always reluctant to use my brain." Ye Zhanzhou poked her on the forehead, "Do you think you're covering it up well? After a little analysis, you'll understand everything."

From Mu Feng's words and deeds when he was drunk, to what he said when he found the city bureau later, combined with his words and deeds, Ye Zhanzhou had long been suspicious.

In the case of Beijin Building, Jiang Yu had analyzed Jinglong's psychology. Ding Xuan asked her how she knew so much, and how did she explain it?She said she consulted with others.

With whom?There will be no one else but Mu Feng.

It's just that the little girl didn't mention it, and Ye Zhanzhou didn't want to expose it.

But this matter will have to be discussed sooner or later, so let's just take this opportunity to make it clear.

"Who is Mu Chengzhi? He has been a prosecutor for more than 20 years, and now he has been promoted to chief prosecutor. With his keenness, can he not see what's going on with his son?"

"You mean..." Jiang Yu said incredulously, "Uncle Mu gave up on Mu Feng a long time ago, so he had a son with another woman and raised him again?"
