Chapter 1423: Chapter 775: Dragon Gate_2 Chapter 1423: Chapter 775: Dragon Gate_2 Oliver Wright focused his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, sitting there quietly, not daring to utter a word. His heart felt like it was carrying a rabbit, thumping rapidly, both anxious and fearful about the investigation results from the servant. After a while, the servant who had been ordered to conduct a thorough investigation hurried over, his steps noticeably brisk.

Upon arrival, the servant first bowed respectfully to the family, his voice carrying a tone of respect: “Old Master, Second Young Master Wright.”

Oliver Wright waved his hand dismissively, his voice tinged with impatience: “Enough, no need for such formalities, just tell me what the results are, what have you found out so far?” His eyes flickered with urgency and anticipation, wishing the servant would immediately provide the answer.

However, the servant hesitated, unsure of how to respond. He did not look at Oliver Wright; instead, he unconsciously glanced at Logan, a hint of something peculiar in his gaze.

Noticing the servant’s look, a chill ran through Logan’s heart, sensing something was amiss. He slightly furrowed his brow, his eyes flashing with confusion and caution. Could it be that the investigation results were related to him? Or had the servant uncovered something unknown to him?

Oliver Wright also noticed the servant’s unusual behavior, his eyes flashed with suspicion as he looked towards Logan, but quickly shifted his gaze back to the servant, saying sternly: “Just answer the question properly, why are you looking at Young Master Logan? Are the investigation results related to him?”

On hearing this, the servant quickly shook his head, his speech flurried and panicky: “No, it’s not, Second Young Master Wright, the results have nothing to do with Young Master Logan. It’s just, just…” He stammered, clearly finding it difficult to speak.

Seeing this, Oliver Wright grew even more anxious, he angrily slammed the table, shouting: “Just what? Say it! Don’t beat around the bush, you’re killing me here!”

Startled by Oliver Wright’s reaction, the servant hurriedly said: “It’s just that the findings of our investigation were somewhat unexpected. It turns out that the matter was not a simple accident, but was intentionally caused…”

“What?!” Oliver Wright exclaimed as he abruptly stood up, his eyes flashing with shock and anger. He hadn’t expected that the incident had been caused intentionally! Who could it be? Why would they do such a thing?

Logan also stood up, his eyes similarly glittering with severity and gravity. He knew that the situation had far exceeded their expectations, and they must uncover the truth quickly, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Have you figured out who did it?” Oliver Wright stared at the servant, urgently asking.

The servant shook his head, his voice tinged with helplessness: “Not yet, Second Young Master Wright. We have only found some clues, but there isn’t enough evidence yet to determine who the perpetrator is. However, we are intensifying our investigation efforts and believe that the results will be forthcoming soon.”

Upon hearing this, Oliver Wright felt slightly relieved. At least they had some clues, and with continued effort, they believed the truth would soon be uncovered. He looked at Logan, his gaze flickering with firmness and resolve. They must work together to uncover the truth for the Wright family, to restore the family’s honor!

The servant then lowered his head again, answering honestly, his voice carrying a touch of panic and unease: “Reporting to Second Young Master Wright, we really haven’t found anything amiss. When we received the Dragon Blood, it was already in its current state, the flames were also normal, and there was absolutely no intention of tampering by our people. We followed the rules at every step, daring not to be careless at all.”

Upon hearing this last remark, Logan’s heart tightened, and he understood the implication of these people. They were hinting that the problem might lie with the Dragon Blood, which he had brought over. His brow furrowed slightly, a hint of displeasure flashed through his eyes, but he did not retort.

Oliver Wright’s lips curled into an amused smile. Looking at the servant, his tone carried a bit of mockery: “So, you mean to say that this matter might be related to Young Master Logan? You think he tampered with it, causing issues in our Wright Family’s forging?”

The servant, upon hearing this, got scared and knelt down with a “thump”, waving his hands repeatedly: “I, I dare not speculate recklessly, just telling the truth. I really didn’t mean anything by it, I’m just explaining the situation to Second Young Master Wright, please discern the truth.”

Watching the servant kneeling on the ground, Oliver Wright sneered inwardly. How could he believe in the “truth telling”? These servants, slick with their words when flattering, now trying to shift the blame onto Logan, what nonsense!

However, Oliver Wright didn’t burst out immediately, but pondered for a moment. He understood that what was most important now was to find out the truth, rather than blaming each other here. Then, he looked at Logan, seriously saying: “Young Master Logan, the Dragon Blood you brought was almost used immediately without much processing. Now that there has been an incident, it’s inevitable that people may suspect. However, I trust your character and believe that you aren’t someone who would sabotage in secret. But to uncover the truth, we still need to carefully inspect the Dragon Blood, what do you think?”

Upon hearing this, Logan felt warmed. He knew that Oliver Wright was speaking up for him, giving him a chance to prove himself. He nodded, his tone firm: “Second Young Master Wright, the Dragon Blood I brought definitely has no issues. I am willing to cooperate with the inspection, and I believe you will uncover the truth and clear my name.”

While saying this, Logan took out a small bottle from his chest, which contained the Dragon Blood he had brought. He handed it to Oliver Wright, his eyes shimmering with honesty and trust.

Oliver Wright took the small bottle, studied it carefully for a moment and then turned to look at the servant: “You, go and call the family alchemist to come, have him carefully check this bottle of Dragon Blood for any issues.”

The servant, upon hearing this, quickly responded and hurried away. Oliver Wright then looked at Logan, smiled, and said: “Young Master Logan, don’t worry. I trust you, and I trust our alchemist. Once the examination results are out, everything will be clear.”

If there are no issues within our own ranks, then it must be external factors. Oliver Wright thought to himself, his brows furrowed, eyes flickering with hesitation and struggle. Although he was reluctant to believe that Logan would do such a thing, having known each other for some time, he understood Logan’s character.

However, in the face of evident clues and overly coincidental details, he couldn’t help but waver. He started to doubt whether he had been too trusting of others, overlooking some truths hidden in the shadows.

Oliver Wright restrained himself from looking at Logan; he feared his gaze would betray his inner turmoil and conflict. Instead, he looked towards Old Master Wright, the most esteemed and wisest elder of the Wright Family.

“Grandfather,” Oliver Wright gently called out, the word asking for guidance on how to handle this sudden dilemma, and how to deal with this situation involving Logan. He knew he couldn’t jump to conclusions, nor wrongly accuse a good person, but also couldn’t let the interests of the Wright Family be harmed.

Old Master Wright, upon hearing this, did not respond immediately but sat there quietly, his gaze deep, as if seeing through everything in the world. He was not like Oliver Wright, impetuous and impulsive; he had experienced too much and had long cultivated a calm and composed heart.

After hearing Oliver Wright’s words, Old Master Wright even snorted coldly, seemingly dissatisfied with Oliver’s hesitation and indecision.
