Pierced by a Bullet

Editor: Atlas Studios

Old Master Li was taken aback and turned around. His murky old eyes flashed as he said, "When did I say that?"

"Just then, when we were sitting on the sofa," Mu Xichen spoke slowly and steadily. "When you asked whether my grandfather knew we were married."

He looked straight at Old Master Li and continued, "Ah Nian is not a child of the Li Family."

He spoke with no uncertainty.

The old man's eyes flashed even more vividly now, as he turned away from Mu Xichen.

He said nothing to deny or admit the matter.

However, his reaction told Mu Xichen that he had guessed correctly.

The silence went on for some time before Old Master Li spoke. "I heard that Nian Nian has given you the talisman that she has been carrying since she was a child?"

Mu Xichen's eyes glimmered faintly as he said in a quiet voice, "The coin in the amulet had been pierced by a bullet."
