Although Zhou Xuan did not say what he wanted to say next, Shan Yue naturally understood what he meant.

“My second and third uncles just left. They’ve been watching here for a long time. In addition, there can’t be no one watching at home. Therefore, as soon as my father was out of danger, I let them go back first.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Shan Yue immediately remembered the people who had brushed past her in the elevator. There were bodyguards following behind them.

From the looks of it, those should be the elders of the Zhou family. However, what did he mean by taking the next action?

“Shan Yue, what’s wrong?” Zhou Xuan looked at Shan Yue’s thoughtful expression and asked, “Did something happen, or did you meet them?”

“That’s right. We just passed each other in the elevator.” Shan Yue told him the truth, but she did not tell him what they had said, in case it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings with Zhou Xuan. “But we don’t know each other either. If you hadn’t mentioned it just now, I wouldn’t have known that they were your elders.”

“Hmph.” Zhou Xuan laughed coldly. “In the past, they might still be my elders, but now, they’re only relatives in name. Perhaps my father’s matter this time has something to do with some of them.”

“What else did the doctor say? How did he get food poisoning?” Shan Yue continued to ask.

She could feel that Zhou Kuo’s poisoning this time was not a coincidence, but an evil deed that some people had specially committed to achieve their goals.

Although the dignified Zhou family of the Federation City could not be considered the number one family, they were still one of the top existences. How could such a ridiculous thing happen? The servants definitely did not have the guts.

Then there were only two explanations. Either Zhou Kuo had a personal grudge and someone was deliberately taking revenge, or it was a conflict in the family that was done by an acquaintance in the family.

It had to be known that the chances of an acquaintance succeeding were very high.

However, what Zhou Xuan said next made Shan Yue completely deny the first possibility.

“The doctor said that the poison is a slow-acting poison. The exact composition has yet to be tested. The poison enters the body through the esophagus and will take about half a day to a day to act up. I just asked the butler at home. Father has been staying at home recently and has no experience of going out, let alone eating outside.”

Actually, at this point, Zhou Xuan was also suspicious. “I’ve also gotten someone to investigate. There’s definitely nothing wrong with the people in the kitchen. Other than the family committing crimes, there’s no other possibility.”

“That’s true, but if we want to catch the murderer in the family, we have to have evidence.”

Shan Yue’s expression was a little serious. This time, the opponent was very cunning and arrogant. They had clearly shortened the scope of the crime to a smaller area, but there was nothing they could do.

Suddenly, Shan Yue saw something in Zhou Kuo’s hand from the corner of her eye. She immediately walked over and pulled out a white note.

“This is just the beginning. Just wait, Zhou family.”

A few simple words were written on the note. Clearly, someone was declaring war on the Zhou family, and Zhou Kuo was just an example to show off to them.

“When did this note appear?” Zhou Xuan looked at the sudden appearance of the note and his expression turned even worse. “This wasn’t there when we were resuscitating!”

To be able to succeed under his nose was undoubtedly the greatest mockery and humiliation for him.

“It seems that someone took advantage of the chaos in the ward just now.” Shan Yue was deep in thought. This style of doing things inexplicably felt familiar to her.

“How dare he go against our Zhou family so arrogantly? He’s underestimating us too much. The Zhou family is only in trouble for the time being. Does he really think everyone can step on the Zhou family?”

Such a piece of paper ignited the fighting spirit in Zhou Xuan’s heart. No matter who did it and what their goal was, Zhou Xuan would not let him succeed..
