……
Everyone else was on the show, but Su Jishi was worrying about Mu Xiulun.
Outsiders might really believe that all this was the anonymous expose of Mid-levelEmployeeFoundConscience’, but Su Jishi knew that these could never be collected by a single employee on his own. There must be someone behind him.
And that pusher, naturally, was Mu Xiulun.
He had been hibernating in the Mu family for so long, carrying his mother’s blood feud. He suffered the Mu family’s ridicule and temptation, all by himself, and reached today step by step.
Now, at long last, it was time for him to subvert the Mu family.
……
Chaos reigned in the Mu family’s mansion.
All the well-known people in the Mu family gathered in the study, each with a cigarette between their fingers, making the whole study a pandemonium.
The Mu family was originally an extensive family. The man currently in power, Mu Minde, had two older brothers and a younger sister. After each of them got married, countless side branches emerged. Every Spring Festival, a huge group of people would visit Mu Minde to pay New Year’s greetings. In order to please him, the younger generation had to kowtow and ask for red envelopes.
But now, the atmosphere in the study was heavy. There was a gray death on every face.
The large family was originally of several dozens of people, but in the blink of an eye, there were less than twenty people left.
Madam Mu was crying by the side, with a pair of eyes swollen into rotten peaches.
Her daughters gathered around her, one wiping her tears and the other patting her back to smooth her breath.
The youngest daughter whispered to her, “Mom, don’t cry and hurt yourself.” As she spoke, she took the hot tea from the maid’s hand and wanted to let her mother drink to moisten her throat.
But her persuasion backfired. Not only did it fail to calm Madam Mu down, it even stimulated her.
Madam Mu violently threw out the hot tea in her hand, and the hot tea splashed on the maid’s head. Not only did it smash the maid’s head, but it also scalded a layer of her skin. Her whole face was instantly scalded into crimson.
The maid did not dare to cry and howl, and could only endure the pain and leave in tears.
“Mom, you…” said her youngest daughter, startled.
“Stop talking to me!” Madam Mu was anxious and angry, “Several of your uncles have been taken away for investigation. How can I be in any mood to drink tea?!”
And among those several brothers, there was also a Second Cousin whom she valued the most. Her Second Cousin was the most obedient, the most honest, and the most unassertive. He had always followed her lead, and was one of her most handy pawns. When she transferred her marital properties to him, she used her Second Cousin as a springboard to do so!
Her Second Cousin was actually taken away directly. He was so cowardly, so who knew what he would disclose in front of the police?
She could only chew on her concerns alone, never letting this group of people surnamed Mu know.
Everyone thought she was worried for her maternal family. How could they know that her hands were extraordinarily unclean?
“Shut up. If you want to continue crying, go back to your room!!” Mu Minde was terribly upset. Listening to her like crying and howling incessantly, he felt furious, making his blood pressure soar. The cane in his hand clattered against the ground, interrupting Madam Mu’s performance and attracting everyone’s attention in the room on himself.
“Okay, let’s cut the small talk —— It’s already time. How come so few people have come?” Mu Minde took on the majesty of the head of the house, his heavy asphalt-like gaze dripping over everyone in the room.
When things were just revealed and hadn’t fully fermented, they wanted to find the informant immediately and control him. But when the bodyguards arrived at his house, it was empty! It turned out that the whistleblower took advantage of the Spring Festival holiday and applied for an annual leave. Not only did he leave the country, but he also took all his relatives to go abroad for a vacation.
To this moment, how could they not guess that there was a mastermind behind the informant?
But the Mus were too prominent. They simply could not speculate on who actually laid such a ruthless hand and planned to draw them into such a big pitfall. They had always concealed their evil deeds, and these materials couldn’t be obtained without years of in-depth investigation!
Mu Minde asked for help from his friends who often played golf with him, but how dare they get involved with the Mus at this juncture? Some people even cursed: “Elder Mu, I have considered you a friend! Yet the steel you provided to our company is all faulty! It affected hundreds of thousands of cars that just came off the production line! Now we have to recall these cars and scrap them. You’d better go back and wait for the lawsuit from our company!”
Madam Mu’s card friends had also drawn a clear line. No one would willingly stick themselves on the cusp of this turmoil, and then pretend to be a good girlfriend with her!
Mu Minde was scorched by the flames. At this time, the heads of more than a dozen subsidiaries were taken away by the Public Security Bureau overnight, and he didn’t have time to leave a word to time!!
Mu Minde couldn’t sit still, so he immediately summoned all the Mu family to the old mansion for discussion. But it was already noon, but only more than a dozen people came. Even if some side branches were taken away by the police, the remaining Mu family members were more than this number.
“Where are they?” He blew his beard and glared, “Where did they all go?”
His son’s face was gloomy. He clutched his scorching phone in his hand, his brow furrowed: “Dad, Uncle and Aunt’s family can’t be reached anymore.”
“…” Mu Minde’s jaw dropped.
Can not be reached? There were two possibilities behind this: were they taken away by the authorities, or … deserted and fled on their own?
Two very different conjectures rose up in everyone’s heart. Many people instantly beat a retreat in their hearts, regretting it. They shouldn’t have come. They should have planned more for themselves.
Mu Minde’s blood pressure rose, and the family doctor was hastily called for a shot.
