It was highly probable that the man in black had entered the house through the window and administered the poison.
The impression Liu Kai Xuan had of the man in black was extremely vague. Although they had brushed past each other, the man in black was so heavily concealed that Liu Kai Xuan couldn't get a clear look at his face. He couldn't even ascertain the man's build. The black robe the man wore was very loose, making it impossible to discern any details.
"It seems if I want to uncover the truth, I must first identify this man in black!"
To identify the man in black, he had to start with Qin Huai Ru. Liu Kai Xuan firmly believed that if anyone truly wanted to retaliate against him, Qin Huai Ru was the most likely candidate. The courtyard was teeming with scoundrels! But Qin Huai Ru was the only one who would go to such lengths to seek revenge on Liu Kai Xuan. Yi Zhong Hai was now permanently disabled and had largely accepted his fate. As for Sha Zhu, although he harbored resentment towards Liu Kai Xuan, let's not forget that Sha Zhu and Qin Jing Ru were now a couple. Why would he risk everything for a life of luxury?
With a plan in mind, Liu Kai Xuan visited the Jia family at dusk. Qin Huai Ru was not home, only the two young girls, Xiao Dang and Xiao Huai Hua. Upon seeing Liu Kai Xuan, the two girls immediately became extremely tense.
"Hahaha!" Liu Kai Xuan, as if performing a magic trick, pulled out a few candies from his pocket and offered them to the girls. "Xiao Dang, Huai Hua, come have some candy!"
Xiao Dang replied warily, "Liu Kai Xuan, what do you want?" "My mom said you're not a good person and told us to stay away from you!"
"Hehehe!" Liu Kai Xuan waved his hand and chuckled. "Xiao Dang, don't listen to Qin Huai Ru's nonsense!" "Qin Huai Ru is not a good person. I've come specifically to give you candy today!" "If I'm not a good person for giving you candy, what must I do to be considered good?"
Xiao Dang, being older, was more cautious. However, Xiao Huai Hua was not as vigilant! Moreover, Xiao Huai Hua was a glutton, and seeing the fruit candies in Liu Kai Xuan's hand, her mouth began to water. "I want candy, Uncle, hurry and give me candy!" As she spoke, Xiao Huai Hua rushed forward and took two fruit candies from Liu Kai Xuan's hand. When she reached for a few more candies, Xiao Dang couldn't sit still any longer. "Those remaining candies are mine, you're not allowed to fight me for them!" Children in this era were all little gluttons. How many children could resist the temptation of fruit candies?
Once Xiao Huai Hua broke through her defenses, the atmosphere instantly spiraled out of control, and the two girls snatched the candies from Liu Kai Xuan's hand. Xiao Dang, still not satisfied, even tried to reach into Liu Kai Xuan's pocket for more candy. Liu Kai Xuan quickly shook his head and gestured. "Alright, alright, don't rush, you two!" "You want candy, no problem, I have plenty, you can have as much as you want!"
Suddenly, both girls squeezed their heads forward, clamoring for candy. At this moment, Liu Kai Xuan seized the opportunity to set his conditions. "You can have candy if you answer a few questions for me. I have a lot of candy here!" "Whoever answers my questions correctly will get the candy!"
"Okay, Uncle Liu, hurry and ask your questions. I'll tell you the truth!"
"Good, very good!" Liu Kai Xuan said with a smile. "What did Qin Huai Ru go out to do?"
Xiao Huai Hua replied, "Mom went out to work!"
"Work? What kind of work does Qin Huai Ru have now?" Liu Kai Xuan frowned. Qin Huai Ru had previously worked as a toilet cleaner for a while. After Zhang Cui Hua's death, the Jia family received relief funds. Now, all three members of the Jia family were living on relief money. He hadn't heard that Qin Huai Ru had found new work.
Xiao Dang immediately replied, "Wu Da Tou called Mom to go to work!" "Mom said her job can earn a lot of money, enough to buy us new clothes!"
"Oh… so it was Wu Da Tou." Although a faint smile crossed Liu Kai Xuan's face, his heart was filled with a chilling dread. Wu Da Tou was a scoundrel, a complete hoodlum. Earlier, when Yi Zhong Hai was almost killed by Bang Geng, Yi Zhong Hai had broken Bang Geng's leg after being released from the detention center. Then Wu Da Tou had appeared and brutally beat Yi Zhong Hai, leaving him permanently disabled. Qin Huai Ru publicly claimed Wu Da Tou was Bang Geng's godfather. Now that Xiao Dang mentioned Wu Da Tou again, Liu Kai Xuan couldn't help but wonder! Could the man in black he saw in the courtyard that night have been Wu Da Tou?
"Uncle, I've answered your question, hurry and give me candy!" As Liu Kai Xuan frowned, Xiao Dang couldn't help but urge him.
"Here, I always keep my word. Take this!" Liu Kai Xuan directly handed two fruit candies to Xiao Dang. He then asked, "By the way, besides Wu Da Tou, who else has Qin Huai Ru met recently?"
"Mom also went to see Yi Zhong Hai and Sha Zhu, but not very often. She visits Wu Da Tou the most!" Xiao Huai Hua, eager to get her fruit candies, began to answer the questions.
"Hahaha, Huai Hua, you're such a good girl, here's your fruit candy…"
"Liu Kai Xuan, you trash, what are you doing at our house? Are you trying to kidnap my daughter?" "Just you wait, I'm going to report you to the police!" Suddenly, Qin Huai Ru's voice echoed from behind, breaking the harmonious atmosphere. Liu Kai Xuan turned to look at Qin Huai Ru, his brow furrowing slightly.
Qin Huai Ru said indignantly, "Liu Kai Xuan, explain yourself!" "What are your intentions for coming to my house?"
"Hahaha…" Liu Kai Xuan laughed heartily. "Qin Huai Ru, why are you so nervous?" "They say those with clear consciences fear no rumors." "You're so nervous now, have you done something underhanded and shameful?"
Qin Huai Ru immediately became furious. "Liu Kai Xuan, don't slander me!" "I, Qin Huai Ru, have always acted with integrity and honor, unlike your darkness!"
"Is that so?" Liu Kai Xuan replied calmly. "Do you truly believe you act with integrity and honor?" "Perhaps you misunderstand the meaning of integrity and honor?"
