Xia Chuqi lowered his head and looked at it. When he saw the photo of the pocket watch lining, he was stunned and said in disbelief: "This photo..." "Is it very similar to when you were a child?"

He raised his eyebrows and before Xia Chuqi could answer, he smiled and explained, "This is a photo of your mother's childhood!"

Xia Chuqi, holding the pocket watch, froze, raised his head and glared at him, gritted his teeth and asked, "Why are there any photos of my mother when she was a child on your hand?

Have you started monitoring my mother since she was a child?”

"Don't say it's so ugly..." The old man shook his head and smiled lightly, and explained slowly: "The reason why I have photos of your mother when she was a child is because... I raised your mother!"

"What did you say?"

Xia Chuqi felt that all the blood in his body had solidified. He looked at the old man in front of him in disbelief, and a chill slowly spread from the soles of his feet to his whole body.

"Don't even think of lying to lie to me. I thought I would forgive you. My mother could not have been raised by a sinister and cunning person like you..." Before Xia Chuqi finished speaking, his voice began to tremble slightly.

"Whether you want to accept it or not, that's the truth!"

The old man shrugged and replied with a smile: "She was indeed raised by me, and she was also the Rose Cross that I trained her to join and became a member of the Crusade. Brian is my confidant and has been helping me lead her. Otherwise, with your mother's intelligence, how could he believe Brian without any suspense?"

"This is impossible..." Xia Chuqi kept shook his head, unable to believe this fact: "My mother has relatives, so how could she be raised by someone like you? You can't raise a kind and virtuous child like my mother..." "Yes, your mother is indeed too kind, and other than that, it's simply perfect!"

The old man nodded slightly, agreeing with Xia Chuqi's statement: "Her work, the organization she works in, is destined to not be too kind and soft-hearted. Unfortunately, in the end, she was still harmed by her own kindness and put herself to death for the sake of so-called friends and justice!"

These words made Xia Chuqi clench his fist angrily. She suddenly stood up and rushed to the "Zuncheng" who was still sighing in front of her. However, before her fist touched him, his two subordinates pressed their shoulders down and they were pressed tightly on the table and could not move.

Xia Chuqi couldn't move, but her mouth was not blocked. She could only stare at the old man in front of her side with a side face and gritted her teeth and scolded her angrily: "It's said that tigers are poisonous and will kill her in the end. You are simply terrible, you pervert, you crazy..." The old man slowly walked to her side, lowered his head and looked at her angry look, shook his head and sighed: "You scold, scold a few more words, and you will feel more relieved! It's undeniable that I am really heartbroken to lose such a capable adopted daughter as your mother. After all, it's not easy to cultivate such an excellent talent as her. It's a pity that something went wrong in the end..." He said this, lowered his head and stared at Xia Chuqi quietly, stretched out his hand to stroke her messy hair, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corners of his lips.

"It's really like your mother, it's like her copy. When you witnessed your mother's death with your own eyes, I sent someone to block your memory, just don't want you to grow up in hatred. It's a pity that you failed in the end!"

Xia Chuqi tried hard to turn his face, avoid his fingers, and snorted coldly: "Don't pretend to be a good person, your hands are covered with dirty blood, and you will never be able to wash them clearly!"

"With that being said, whose hands are really clean?"

The old man shook his head and said with a low smile: "Is your husband Feng Xun?"

He was merciless in dealing with his fellow tribe! And his father, who shot his mother's lover with his own hands, and later escaped the blame with fake death..." He said this, and seemed not to want to continue to mention the Feng family more, but just sighed softly: "If I had known that things would have reached this situation today, it would be better than if I had sent someone to take you away back then!"

"If you took me away and waited for me to know the truth, you would still seek revenge and kill the enemy with your hands!"

Xia Chuqi retorted with a sneer.

The old man shrugged disapprovingly and made a "shhh" sound on his lips. Although his tone was careless, it showed a bit of murderous intent: "If you grow up with me, at least you won't, and become a couple with Feng Xun, who indirectly killed your mother!"

"I said that my mother's death has nothing to do with Feng Xun!"

Xia Chuqi roared loudly.

"It seems that you little girl is still a love-minded person. I don't know how much ecstasy Feng Xun has given you..." The old man sighed. Seeing that she was being held on the table like this, he waved to his subordinates and signaled them to take her straight and sit back to their original position.

"Maybe that's what he told you, but don't forget that the accident that year was caused by the Feng family, and your mother also died because of the rescue of Feng Xun!"

Xia Chuqi's neck was still a little uncomfortable. When he heard him say this, he sneered and said, "You don't have to continue to provoke the trust between me and Feng Xun here! My mother and Feng Xun are both victims, and you are the culprits behind the scenes!"

"Okay, even if Feng Xun was not old at that time, he was still half a victim. However, the Feng family behind him was not innocent, his father and grandfather were not innocent!"

When the old man said this, he picked up the snuff bottle and sniffed it, and said in a deep voice: "Xia Chuqi, I can't explain the right and wrong and grievances to you for a while, but if you can't trust your own judgment, you can go and talk to your father. If your father knew that your mother died for Feng Xun to block the bullets, he also supported you and Feng Xun together, just pretend I didn't say anything!"

Xia Chuqi's face changed slightly. Although this matter was no longer a knot between her and Feng Xun, she never dared to mention it to her father and elder brother... After all, even she almost regarded Feng Xun as the one who killed her mother, how could she ensure that her father and elder brother would not take their anger on Feng Xun?
