Old Mrs. Chu said nervously, "Xiao Tian, and I still need to rely on you and Nian Xue to live."
"I didn't participate in what happened back then, so I naturally wouldn't lie to you. This item did appear in the Ye family. I saw it once there and have a very deep impression of it."
"It was that old geezer from the Ye family who snatched the box away."
After saying this, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked a bit embarrassed.
Lin Xiao Tian asked with a half-smile, "Did he snatch it from you?"
"Of course not. Our Chu family has nothing to do with that matter, and we certainly wouldn't have gotten the Lin family's heirloom. Someone just put it up for auction at my husband's place. At that time, when that old geezer saw this item, he thought of the Lin family's most famous Heaven Mending Pill."
"I originally intended to keep this heirloom, but I didn't expect that old geezer to use a trick and directly cheat me out of my item."
"I forced him to hand it over, but he completely ignored me. That's also why I was somewhat disgusted with Chu Nian Xue back then."
"Their Ye family is too much."
"Heh heh!" Lin Xiao Tian let out a laugh, but the meaning in his eyes was very clear.
He didn't say a word, just stared coldly at Old Mrs. Chu.
"Xiao Tian, you have to believe me. I'm really not lying to you. Since you've already obtained this box, you should know who is behind it."
"That old bastard definitely wouldn't be willing to take this thing out, otherwise, he would have used it on himself long ago. He wants to take it to his grave, clearly hiding some secret from you."
Lin Xiao Tian raised an eyebrow: "Old lady, at this point, do you still want to sow discord?"
"I can tell you clearly, this item was personally handed to me by Old Master Ye."
"Everyone has already told me what happened back then."
"And you should know that Old Master Ye investigated the whole affair. I hope you can cooperate. After all, my parents are still missing. My hatred for the family is secondary. I want to find out where they are more."
As he spoke, his gaze was fixed on Old Mrs. Chu.
He even suspected in his heart that his parents' disappearance was not unrelated to that old geezer.
Old Mrs. Chu's eyes darted away slightly: "Xiao Tian, please believe me. I really don't know what this item is about. When it appeared at our auction house, someone brought it back."
"That was something my son brought back. I didn't even have time to look at it, and now my son has been sent away. Why don't you go ask him?"
The smile on Lin Xiao Tian's face gradually faded, and he said slowly, "You really won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"
"Someone also said before that my biggest purpose in approaching your Chu family was to figure out what happened back then."
"And that person knows a lot about what happened back then and knows what you've done. You still want to keep hiding it from me now? Are you looking for death?"
As the last word fell, Lin Xiao Tian's aura suddenly changed drastically.
The killing intent, which was almost enough to crush a person, caused Old Mrs. Chu to fall to the ground, her eyes filled with terror.
"Don't kill me, I really don't know. My son really brought this box back. He was going to auction it, and he said that box was a curse."
"If I lie to you, may lightning strike me and may I die a terrible death."
Lin Xiao Tian narrowed his eyes slightly: "Chu Jingtian is dead. Do you want me to go ask a dead person?"
"Or should I send you down now, and you can go ask him, and then tell me in a dream tonight?"
His words carried a chilling coldness. As he took a step forward, the pressure that hit him became even stronger.
Old Mrs. Chu was already weeping bitterly: "I really don't know what happened back then!"
Lin Xiao Tian narrowed his eyes slightly. At this moment, the emotions displayed by Old Mrs. Chu did not seem like someone who knew about the matter.
However, the sudden tightening of her pupils when she saw the box suggested that she might still be hiding secrets.
"Old lady, even if you don't know about that matter, you should tell me other things. I don't want to hear another lie, otherwise, this will truly be your burial place. I mean what I say."
Old Mrs. Chu no longer cared whether Lin Xiao Tian would truly fly into a rage.
She knew that if she didn't speak now, she might be close to death.
"Zhou Lanmei also knows about this. It was she who released the news that your family had the Heaven Mending Pill, and that pill was a hot potato. Whoever obtained it would likely become a target."
"It just so happened that your parents disappeared around that time."
"I really don't know the specifics, but I believe Zhou Lanmei definitely knows more."
"If you don't believe me, I can call her now and let you hear her words. I'm really not lying to you, please let me go."
Lin Xiao Tian nodded: "Alright, you can call her now."
Old Mrs. Chu didn't dare to hesitate at all. She took out her phone and started dialing.
The call was quickly connected, and Zhou Lanmei's voice came from the other end.
"Mom, why are you calling me?"
"I'm telling you, Lin Xiao Tian has discovered what happened back then. He's already traced it back to you, knowing that you leaked the news about the Lin family's Heaven Mending Pill." After saying this, Old Mrs. Chu immediately looked at Lin Xiao Tian.
At the same time, she turned on the speakerphone.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then Zhou Lanmei's voice sounded as if she were very confused: "Mom, what are you talking about? What is 'not signing a contract'? Did I sign any contract?"
"I don't want to get involved in those matters anymore. I'll pretend not to know about any conflict between the family and Lin Xiao Tian."
"Lin Xiao Tian is so powerful, I don't want to provoke him anymore. Last time you told me you wanted to deal with him together, I think we should just live our lives honestly!"
"Besides, Mom, you're already so old, why do you still have to fight for those things? Even I have given up."
When Old Mrs. Chu heard this, she widened her eyes in disbelief: "What do you mean? Are you pinning what happened back then on me?"
"You were the one who wanted to leak the news back then. I tried to stop you. You said we couldn't keep that item."
"You were the one who made the mistake back then. If it weren't for your scheming, the Lin family would never have canceled their cooperation with us, nor would they have made us pay that breach of contract fee. You made the decision to bankrupt the Lin family. It was your idea to plunge the Lin family into eternal damnation."
