The gazes of everyone present quickly turned to the agitated Madam Jiang.
Madam Jiang realized her lapse in composure and quickly regained her elegance.
She smiled elegantly, her gaze fixed grimly on Mu Jiuchen. "Master Ninth, can we discuss this later? Everyone hasn't eaten yet, let's have dinner first."
Mu Jiuchen's eyes were as deep and unfathomable as the sea. He spoke languidly, "I apologize, but my wife was bullied, and I'm in no mood to eat. Madam Jiang, perhaps you should resolve the current issue before dining."
Madam Jiang looked at Mu Jiuchen, who was unyielding, and couldn't quite decipher his mood.
Everyone present was a top-tier tycoon, always presenting their best face to the world to maintain appearances.
If she lost face tonight, she would be laughed at by these people for a lifetime.
Madam Jiang spoke meaningfully, "Master Ninth, are you so eager to prove yourself that you orchestrated this whole charade just to get the Lu family to forgive your past actions?" Madam Jiang attempted to change the subject.
Mu Jiuchen, however, smiled, his smile gentler than ever.
"Madam Jiang, you are mistaken on this point. The Lu family treats me as their own son and trusts me unconditionally."
Madam Jiang bit her lip, refusing to believe such a falsehood.
She couldn't fathom the Lu family remaining indifferent after seeing such a video.
She had always been the one in control, and this was the first time she felt so passive.
Her desire for control surged through her like the tide. "Master Ninth, since you wish to seek justice for your wife, then these two young ladies are yours to deal with. They insulted my wife, and I have no relation to them."
She was confident these two women wouldn't betray her.
In any case, she couldn't let him reveal what happened years ago, no matter how he found out, he absolutely could not speak.
Zhang Ying and Huo Xian stared in shock at Madam Jiang, who had abandoned them.
Madam Jiang was too ruthless!
Mu Jiuchen looked at the shameless Madam Jiang. "Madam Jiang, when a person overreaches, they will inevitably overreach!"
Mu Jiuchen slowly stepped forward a few paces and continued, "Years ago, you framed Han Yixuan's father, and implicated my elder uncle, Mu Yunfeng. You should still remember this."
Madam Jiang's eyes widened in sudden shock.
"Mu Jiuchen, I told you to shut up, did you hear me?" Madam Jiang roared, losing control.
Mu Jiuchen sneered, his voice low. "It's impossible for me to shut up."
He clearly saw a flicker of terror in Madam Jiang's eyes.
"My elder uncle was sentenced to death for bribery, a massive sum. On the way to his execution, he was involved in a car accident. That accident didn't kill him; another person died. You saved my elder uncle and kept him hidden, turning him into your pawn. From then on, you began to target me. But you never expected that no matter what you did, you would always fail with me."
Mu Jiuchen curled his lips mockingly.
Madam Jiang stared at him intently, realizing he knew everything.
Seeing the mockery on his lips, she felt deeply provoked.
How could she possibly be the one who failed!
"Mu Jiuchen, I hope you don't continue speaking. It will only damage everyone's relationships, and it won't be good for anyone. What you want to say involves many people. Unless you have sufficient evidence, I will sue you for defamation."
She was a woman who had weathered many storms; she would not be easily defeated by Mu Jiuchen.
Mu Jiuchen revealed a meaningful smile. "Madam Jiang, you should worry about yourself first. As for others, their punishment and retribution are matters for the law."
"As for your threat to sue me for defamation, I fear you won't have the opportunity. The moment you bullied my wife, you should have been prepared to face the consequences. Please do not interrupt me next. I will continue speaking."
Madam Jiang: "..." Would she really let him have his way?
He was too ridiculous.
"Madam Jiang, you are an ambitious woman. You have already reached the pinnacle of society, yet you treat playing with people's lives as a game to satisfy your boredom."
"Many things have happened over the past year, from Jinshi to Modu. Every step was meticulously planned by you, and then executed by Mu Yunfeng with your help. Am I correct?"
Madam Jiang could no longer maintain her pretense of elegance and stared coldly at Mu Jiuchen.
"Unfortunately, your dream shatters today. Your blueprint ends here." Mu Jiuchen smiled again.
Everyone looked at Madam Jiang with surprise.
Could wealth and power allow one to disregard human life?
Was everything Mu Jiuchen said true?
Everyone's expressions were serious and curious!
"Master Ninth, do you have evidence for these claims?" someone couldn't help but ask.
Mu Jiuchen: "Once I finish my story, I will naturally present the evidence to everyone."
Jiang Nuan instantly realized he was stalling for time.
She had thought she could become a secretary by the Chief's side, but Mu Jiuchen had directly extinguished that hope.
He had been very angry that day, yet he was already thinking of ways to help her.
She was as surprised by tonight's events as Madam Jiang was.
Mu Jiuchen spoke again, unhurriedly. "Madam Jiang, shall we tally up how many people have died because of you over the past year?"
His presence was imposing, commanding everyone's attention. With just a word, he could control the entire scene.
Madam Jiang looked at him with murderous intent.
Mu Jiuchen continued, "You know very well how many people have died. Now, let's talk about Madam Jiang's past."
"Mu Jiuchen..."
"Madam Jiang, I told you, do not interrupt me." Mu Jiuchen's angry voice suddenly erupted, echoing through the banquet hall.
Their eyes met, and his cold, impatient gaze made Madam Jiang take a step back in fear.
Everyone instantly witnessed the terrifying side of Mu Jiuchen.
"Madam Jiang, your father forcibly married you to your husband, but you loved your husband's younger brother, who was an illegitimate child. From then on, you began planning your revenge. You reported your father, leading to his untimely death. You framed Han Yifan's father in the same manner, all to retaliate against your father for his unfair treatment of you."
"And these actions were far from enough to quell your rage. You invested in biological research, made fortunes selling substandard drugs in the market, and finally spent a huge sum on Yan Xi to develop a potion that could alter human appearance at will. Even after Yan Xi's death, your research did not stop. Lin Zeye further improved the formula, providing you with more convenient conditions."
"Mu Yichen's successful escape from prison and Lu Qiaoyi's return from the dead were all thanks to this miraculous potion. Even the man pretending to be me beside me is a result of this miraculous potion."
Mu Jiuchen's words were powerful and resonant.
Madam Jiang felt dizzy with each word.
She questioned him furiously, word by word, "Who told you all this?"
"I did." From not far away, a voice, old and solemn, suddenly rang out.
