Chapter 1432: Knock the Mountain, Shake the Tiger

If Mengyu hadn’t given a prior warning, Uncle Leng couldn’t help but believe that his brother wanted to monopolize the Leng Family’s wealth and harm his offspring to replace Zilong with his own descendants as heirs to his industry.

But Uncle Leng remembered Mengyu’s words: "Uncle, no matter what you find, even if all evidence points to Second Uncle, you cannot act impulsively. I am sure that this event is definitely not Second Uncle’s doing; Second Uncle would never harm his own nephew."

She even said, "If no matter how you investigate, the evidence still points to Second Uncle, come to me."

Indeed, he investigated over and over, and the evidence all pointed to his younger brother. However, he didn’t want to give up the investigation just like that, letting Mengyu handle it.

He believes he can uncover the truth himself!

Eldest Aunt Leng saw the look in her husband’s eyes, hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I don’t think this is something Second Brother would do."

"Oh, why do you say that?"

Eldest Aunt Leng said, "Think about it, if he really wanted to monopolize the Leng family’s assets, why would he have saved us last time?"

Uncle Leng’s eyes flickered: "That’s one reason; is there more?"

Eldest Aunt Leng said, "The matter itself feels off. Think about it, if the child’s Second Uncle truly wanted to harm Zilong, why would he choose only the goat milk that he personally handled?"

Exactly, the goat milk from the milking handed over at the doorstep to the elder sister-in-law was solely handled by him. If he wanted to do something, why choose the goat milk? Why not select other foods that others could interfere with, like the meals?

Recall that since Zilong was born weak, his meals were prepared separately.

This is the biggest flaw!

Uncle Leng remembered what Mengyu said: "Second Uncle is definitely not the issue, but Second Aunt is hard to say, that Lin Shasha, you all better look into her. Even if there are no issues, she shouldn’t stay at home."

As soon as he got home, he used the excuse of investigating Zilong’s poisoning to drive Lin Shasha away, and Lin Shasha, fearing the poisoning incident would implicate her, left promptly.

But the investigation proceeded covertly, and he kept a close eye on Second Uncle’s wife.

Now after repeated investigations, nothing was found wrong with Second Uncle’s wife, but the issue was traced back to Second Uncle.

He decided to bring this matter up with the whole family and see what the outcome might be.

On this day, he reported the findings of the investigation to the elders with the whole family present.

"Here’s the situation, the source of the poison is the goat milk. Because the goat milk was hand-milked by Second Brother and personally brought back for Zilong’s Mom to heat up for the child to eat. But I cannot believe my own brother would harm my son, so I’m stumped on this investigation. Can everyone think if there’s any area possibly overlooked? Putting our heads together might reveal the gaps I’ve missed."

Second Uncle Leng, known as the Northeast Tiger, looked very troubled. Big Brother says he trusts him, and he knows Big Brother really believes him, but knowing his hand-milked and personally delivered goat milk caused problems for his nephew, how could he not be anxious?

Grandpa Leng, of course, believes his son wouldn’t do such a malicious thing. He asked his second son, "Think carefully, is it possible there was a problem with the goat, or could something have gone wrong with the goat milk during the journey home?"

Additionally, elder sister-in-law, you should reevaluate whether there were any issues when you boiled the milk, used the wrong method, or had anyone tamper with it while cooling? Also, were there any issues with the tools you used to boil the milk?"
