Seeing the killing intent in Mu Jiuchen's eyes, deep and sharp as a knife, he knew he was finished.
Xiao Fan stood by and said, "President, the goods have been found and are now on their way to the company."
Mu Jiuchen asked, "Where were they found?"
"At the illegal port. Another half an hour, and all the goods would have been shipped abroad," Xiao Fan said, feeling fortunate. His secret investigation had quickly yielded results.
Mu Yunlei's gaze flickered. Mu Jiuchen, this dog, was truly formidable.
Mu Jiuchen looked at him and asked, "What did the apprehended people say?"
Hearing his question, Mu Yunlei's heart trembled involuntarily. He had acted covertly and concealed his tracks well; Mu Jiuchen had no evidence.
He couldn't afford to lose his composure.
"President, they all communicated through coded messages. They contacted professional headhunting firms, and all transactions were in cash. Each person was layered, and everyone said something different. It's truly difficult to find the mastermind."
Fortunately, the goods had been recovered, minimizing the losses.
However, it was certain that Mu Yunlei was behind it. After his wife withdrew all her investments, he had resorted to this desperate measure. If this shipment had successfully gone abroad, he would have made billions.
Success would have allowed him to make a perfect comeback in one go.
"Continue the investigation. Show him his call records. Find out who the man with the two axe heads is. Beat him until he tells you. If he refuses to speak, you know what to do," Mu Jiuchen said.
Mu Jiuchen coldly kicked Mu Yunlei. He was afraid of death and would definitely talk.
Mu Yunlei swallowed nervously, looking at the menacing Mu Jiuchen.
"Little Jiu, you have no evidence. You can't treat me like this. I haven't done anything to betray you, and this wasn't me. Your goods were found, and it has nothing to do with me?"
Being beaten by Mu Jiuchen would leave him half-dead, if not worse.
His body trembled uncontrollably, his fists clenched, and a profound fear filled his heart. He would rather die than become crippled.
"Hmph! You know in your heart whether it has anything to do with you or not. I told you, you can escape legal justice, but you can't escape me."
Mu Jiuchen waved his hand, his voice suppressed and heavy, "Take him away."
"Yes, Ninth Master."
"Mu Jiuchen, you can't do this to me, you can't..." Mu Yunlei's voice, urgent and fearful, gradually faded away.
Jiang Nuan frowned slightly, looking at him with a cold gaze and a hint of anger. "Husband, you have evidence, why don't you expose him?" Da Feng Novel Network
Mu Jiuchen looked at her and said, "If we send him to jail, he'll likely be rescued very quickly, just like Yan Xi."
Jiang Nuan understood. They still didn't know who was behind it. "Is there any news from Yan Xi yet?"
There was no news from Number One either.
"No." Mu Jiuchen narrowed his eyes. He had already activated the Shadow Hall personnel to investigate. These parasites were so troublesome.
He was the pride of Jin City, and he had been played by these people multiple times. He was enraged.
"Wife, today's matter is resolved. Let's go back first," Mu Jiuchen said to her.
"Okay!" Jiang Nuan tidied her belongings and stood up to follow Mu Jiuchen.
On the internet!
The news that Li Qingfeng was Mu Yunlei's illegitimate son had become the top trending topic on major platforms.
While people were not familiar with Li Qingfeng, they were very familiar with Li Qingshuo, one of the three young masters of Jin City.
The Li family was also a prominent wealthy family, and everyone knew that Chairman Li had had an affair outside for years.
However, today's news had made Chairman Li a laughingstock. The son he raised through an affair was not his biological son.
The fact that he had toiled for his son for over a decade, neglecting his legitimate wife and son, only to end up like this, was widely celebrated.
When Li Qingshuo saw the news online, he could only laugh self-mockingly.
Was this the surprise that Nuan Nuan had told him she would give him a few days ago?
This surprise was truly surprising.
He had never expected that it would end this way.
"Heh heh..." Li Qingshuo chuckled, his vision hazy. This was too ironic. His father had ignored him since childhood, doting on Li Qingfeng. Now, retribution had arrived.
That arrogant woman had always angered his mother to the point where she couldn't sleep for days whenever they met.
Later, his mother also came to terms with it, moved out of the Li family, and lived separately with him, ensuring that woman could never harm her again.
He felt that this was for the best, as love truly couldn't be forced.
However, the love his father had always believed in had betrayed him so utterly and without justification.
Yun Xia had also seen the news online.
She looked at Li Qingshuo with concern. He lowered his eyes, his expression full of sorrow.
"Are you okay?" Yun Xia asked softly.
At this moment, she finally understood why she had encountered so much danger.
It turned out that the child in her belly had blocked the paths of many people.
Hearing her gentle voice, Li Qingshuo looked up at her and smiled. He took her hand, his handsome face filled with tenderness. "Xia Xia, thank you for staying by my side during this time. I'm fine. For me, this is truly good news. My father never loved me his entire life. He gave all his love to Li Qingfeng. Now that he's ended up like this, it's all his own doing."
Yun Xia looked at him with pity. Even though he was smiling, the pain in his eyes was not lost on her.
She surmised that his childhood must not have been easy.
No wonder he had been trying to get closer to her and provide the best warmth for her and the child after learning about her pregnancy.
It wasn't for any particular reason?
It was because he had been incredibly lonely as a child. He knew very well how painful it was for a child not to be loved by their father. She also had no father and grew up with her mother. Her mother couldn't bear the family's burden and ran off with someone, leaving her and her sister to fend for themselves. Her sister had worked hard to raise her. Only those who had experienced it could understand the heartache.
"The child and I will always be by your side," Yun Xia said softly, a faint smile on her lips. Her face, rounder due to pregnancy, was even more gentle and charming when she smiled.
Li Qingshuo was stunned, staring at her blankly. After a long while, he finally reacted.
He asked in surprise, "Xia Xia, what did you mean just now when you said you and the child will always be by my side?" Had he finally gotten the result he wanted?
It had been three months. He had been with Xia Xia, from late autumn to winter. It was almost Chinese New Year, and their child would be born in a few days. He had actually been very nervous, wondering if Xia Xia would take the child away after its birth.
Now, Xia Xia's words reignited his hope.
"Don't get so excited. Didn't I ask you for some time?" Yun Xia wasn't ready to commit yet; she wanted to observe Li Qingshuo for a while longer.
Just as Li Qingshuo was about to speak, his phone vibrated. Seeing the number, his expression turned grim.
