Mu Chenyan’s response made Mu Chenwu realized that he had scared her.

He slowly controlled his emotions and calmed himself down.

Mu Chenwu was seven years older than Yan’er. Although he was not a good big brother while they were growing up, Yan’er had always placed him in an important place in her heart.

Today, when Mu Chenyan heard that her brother was willing to die to get his revenge, she became confused.

When Mu Chenwu saw that Mu Chenyan’s little face was about to cry, he held her in his arms and murmured, “I’m not going to die, but you must help your brother to get revenge for our father and save our mother because only then will our whole family be reunited again! Can you do that?”

“Revenge?” Mu Chenyan whispered. Perplexed, she helplessly said, “You want to kill Yuan Xuan?”

Mu Chenyan’s heart felt as though it was violently stabbed when she spoke.

She was very scared when she thought of her brother dying but she similarly felt immense panic when she thought of Yuan Xuan dying.

“Kill him?” “Hmph!” “That would be too kind to the Yuan Family. I want the Yuan Family to suffer a fall from grace and be utterly ruined so that they completely disappear from Luo Hai!”

Mu Chenwu gnashed his teeth as he spoke while a ruthless expression appeared on his face.

Murderous rage rose from his bloodshot eyes as piercingly-cold chills emitted from his body. Even Mu Chenyan felt that her brother was frighteningly abnormal behaving like this.

She was unaware of the truth but she inwardly understood the facts a little more now. When she previously allowed her imagination to run wild, she assumed that the relationship between her father and the Yuan Family was definitely not as simple as that of two fellow comrades.

“Brother, what exactly do you want to do?” Mu Chenyan sobbed and asked.

“Yan’er, did you know that Yuan Tangbai did not sacrifice himself in Xi Fan?!”

“Then… How did Yuan Tangbai die?” Mu Chenyan blankly stared at her brother. She became more confused while various assumptions flashed in her mind.

Mu Chenwu discovered many more things from Mu Feng in comparison to Mu Chenyan who was still young. As he had followed Mu Feng everywhere since he was young, it was normal for Mu Feng to tell him many things.

Moreover, Mu Feng previously did not dare to tell Mu Chenyan too many things because she was infatuated with Yuan Xuan.

“Yuan Tangbai used his special status to collaborate with the rebels in Xi Fan. They banded together and he even sold weapons to Ze Da in Xi Fan!”

Mu Chenwu took a deep breath and lowered his voice when he spoke. He was so furious that he tightly clenched his fists.

Mu Chenyan was stunned. She had never imagined that the national hero and the leader of the rebellion would be the same person…

“How… How could it be? What does this have to do with our father?”

“He made an agreement with Ze Da but after this deal went on for over a year, Ze Da betrayed them because they did not evenly distribute the spoils. They ambushed Yuan Tangbai and his subordinates near a village in Xi Fan. Yuan Tangbai was fatally shot because he failed to escape from the encirclement!”

Mu Chenyan inhaled a breath of cold air upon hearing this. She held her breath and listened as Mu Chenwu continued to speak.

“At that time, our father was his Adjutant who remained in the rear to settle some matters. Thus, he did not follow them to the village but was ambushed in the end. As a Deputy General, he definitely had his own responsibilities as well.”

“However, our father concealed the truth of this matter to safeguard the morale of the soldiers.” Mu Chenwu sighed when he said this.

“If the real circumstances of this matter were revealed, Yuan Tangbai and the entire Yuan Family’s reputation would reach rock-bottom. Moreover, it would also affect the safety of their whole family.”

“When our father decided to help Yuan Tangbai conceal this, he also committed the same crime as him. Our father personally amended the information in Yuan Tangbai’s records and he even promoted him according to the reports that he had was killed in action.”

Mu Chenyan’s entire body was seized by chills when she heard this. This matter had simply overturned everything she knew about the Yuan Family.
