Knife Back in The Scabbard Chapter 208

His death was not surprising. After all, the man was old, and his old illnesses and injuries broke out one after another in the past two years. Moreover, before that, his eldest son Helian Qi, whom he was proud of, was captured by the people of the Soul Burial Palace for some reason. Before the Helian family offered conditions for ransom, the other party sent two large boxes.

The first box contained neatly arranged slices of meat, each piece was almost the same size, and black blood had coagulated on the meat like blood paste; the hands, feet and head were placed in the second box. When Helian Jue opened it with his own hands, he was faced with Helian Qi's face still full of fear and his eyes that were still open after death.

The pain of losing his son dealt a severe blow to the old man, and he has been bedridden since he collapsed. The once prosperous Helian family was left with only Helian Zhao barely holding on.

After so many years, he is still a playboy who only knows how to get angry. Or in a place like the Helian family where the roots are rotten, what good birds can be raised? Mu Yanan pretended to help him resist foreign enemies and sort out housework, but in fact, he was familiar with the business dealings and asset foundation of the Helian family, picking out some useful people to form his own power.

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Mu Yanan seemed to have turned into a ghost, passing through the night and coming to Helian Jue's room.
