“If you ask me, it’s better to surrender yourself quickly.” Someone could no longer endure the pressure and spoke, “It would be nice to appoint a scapegoat for this kind of scandal. Our family is a large family, and we have hundreds of thousands of employees under. How can we know who has resorted to deceit?! As long as they bite this point, we’ll be able to get rid of the crime smoothly!”
But this scapegoat …who exactly would it be?
Currently, this incident has alerted many senior leaders of relevant departments. If they arbitrarily caught a bottom employee, it would be absolutely impossible to quell this incident. Even if they wanted to appoint a scapegoat, he definitely must be a ‘valuable’ talent in the Mu Corporation.
With this in mind, the crowd’s eyes unconsciously fell on Mu Minde and his three legitimate children.
Mu Minde’s three children were really useless. They had long been yesmen to their father. They were utterly lost cases… If they pushed one out to take the blame, his weight would definitely be heavy enough!
Mu Minde was keenly aware of their unseemly thoughts, so he coldly snorted: “This is not a time for infighting. We, the Mu family, are grasshoppers on the same rope. In the past few years, profits have declined and the market has shrunk. After you got the financial benefits, each and everyone of you are like dead mothers! I’m the one who brought the profits back up! If we hadn’t cut down on quality, where could we have had profits? Why are you pretending to be innocents now? When you received the dividends, why didn’t I see your hands go soft?”
Mu Minde had indeed authorized the whole line of metal building materials forgery, but none of the Mu family was exempt from the crime. Everyone turned a blind eye to what he was doing, and only focused on the money that came to hand.
When it came to being ‘unconscionable’ and ‘greedy and shameless’, no one present was innocent.
But a chicken in the water still knew to flap its wings a couple of times. How could they stand by and watch the Mu family’s big ship sink?
But where were they going to find a suitable scapegoat?
“Minde.” Madam Mu wiped away her tears and tried her best to come up with her grand lady’s air, “…Don’t you forget, you still have a son.”
Mu Minde was taken aback.
Yes, he still had a son. The ‘orphan’ he had retrieved from the Sun Village, whose true identity was his dishonorable illegitimate son!
Mu Xiulun —— the boy with a rebellious streak really had a strong business mind and a mighty wrist. After he graduated, he did not take a penny from the Mu family, and started a separate company by himself. After so many years of operation, his company’s annual profit had been rising year by year, and he had accumulated many assets at home and abroad.
Mu Minde once thought about giving him such a big family property. But in the end, he pressed down the idea.
“Xiulun?…” Mu Minde’s expression turned dignified. “I’m afraid he won’t agree.”
He couldn’t be any clearer about Mu Xiulun’s nature. A few years ago, he could still pretend to be respectful to him. But in the last couple of years, his wings had hardened and he no longer paid attention to his words… Even for the sake of an actress, Mu Xiulun dared to confront him!!!
Mu Xiulun had no feelings for the Mus at all. Trying to get him to take the blame for Mus’ crime was almost impossible.
Who would have thought that Madam Mu would suddenly reveal a rather bizarre smile?
“He doesn’t want to take the blame? That’s not up to him…,” Everyone heard Madam Mu say, “If he doesn’t want his little girlfriend’s secret exposed, he must behave and solve the problem for us.”
Mu Minde frowned: “What are you talking about?”
Madam Mu sneered, “Isn’t he in love with that actress named Su Jin? I’ve seen her once. She’s so sharp-tongued and unpredictable. She’s nothing like the rumors. I sent someone to investigate Su Jin – Ha! Sure enough, I caught a shocking secret! If this secret is exposed, then Su Jin and her agency will be in big trouble!”
Her tone was eerie, but she didn’t get the reaction she wanted.
Her own daughter even rebuked her, “Mom, what time is it now? You still have time for all that celebrity gossip? Do you think a scandal of a female celebrity can turn the tide and make Mu Xiulun take the blame for us? Even if it’s a pornographic photo, it’s not that powerful!”
“Who said that it’s something like that?” Madam Mu snapped, “Do you know that Su Jin——”
Unfortunately, before she could finish her sentence, the door of the study was slammed open from the outside, and the man they had just been talking about appeared in front of them openly and honestly!
Everyone in the room was haggard, yet Mu Xiulun was dressed in an ironed coat. His mouth was pursed, and his eyes were blade-like.
He walked into the study with his head held high, stood firm, and stood in the sight of everyone.
His straight legs wrapped in suit pants were slightly forked. He stuffed one hand in his pocket and looked at Madam Mu who was sitting there.
“Say it.” His words were cold and he asked mockingly, “I also want to know what big secret you have in your hand about Su Jin, enough to make me willingly take the blame for the Mu family.”
Gao Ling, who was following him, helplessly rubbed his temples —— This group of fools from the Mu family. Not only did they not find out that Mu Xiulun was the master behind the report against them, but now they even presumed that he would take the blame for them?
This wasn’t a case of incomplete brain development at all. This was simply a case of having no brain, right?
