After returning from the dinner, the people sent by the Mu family finally found Li Mengluo in Qingshan Hospital in the south of the city. When she was brought back, she was already unconscious, her body was a mess, and her hair had been cut to pieces.
That place was the largest mental hospital in Ningzhou. When Li Mengluo was brought back, she was crazy and kept talking nonsense.
A Jing said that she was locked up next door to a patient who was prone to violent attacks. She had a nervous breakdown after listening to the howling ghosts for two nights. It was a good thing that she didn't go completely crazy.
When the person was taken out, she kept shouting about devils and man-eating ghosts, etc. As soon as a person got close, she would start jumping like crazy.
Mu Kuiyuan was not in good health to begin with, so he became completely ill and lay on the hospital bed unable to get up. The atmosphere in the entire Mu family was solemn, which was much different from the cheerful atmosphere before.
Mu Ting opened the door and came out, and the people waiting outside stood up to greet him.
"How is Grandpa today?" Mu Chenyu asked worriedly.
"It's still not good, but its good that I sent something to eat inside."
After hearing Mu Ting's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The family doctor had been in and out all day yesterday. The old man had a bad temper and didn't want to go to the hospital. He just wanted to lie at home, and they could only accompany him.
Fortunately, he ate something today, which means the situation is better.
"I'll go in and take a look." Mu Kun's hands wrapped in gauze were hung on his chest with a rope, and there was a light blue color at the end of his eyes.
They haven't seen Mu Kun since they came back from the dinner the night before. He just came back yesterday morning. As soon as he walked in, he knew that the old man's condition was not good, so he stayed here without asking any more questions.
Mu Jing'an went back to accompany Li Mengluo and would not come over for the time being. Mu Ting sighed. It was really sad that the Mu family had become like this in such a short period of time.
"Sir, there's no need to go in. The old man said he doesn't want to see you for the time being." Aunt Ruan came out of the door holding a plate.
Mu Kun was stunned, "Don't want to see me?"
He is the old man's biological son, and the old man doesn't want to see him right now.
What a joke.
"Yes, please wait outside for a while." Aunt Ruan said and looked at Mu Chenyu, "Young Master, He wants to see you."
Mu Chenyu didn't care about the others, opened the door and passed Aunt Ruan into the room.
The whole room was dimly lit. Only the bedside lamp was turned on. The warm orange light illuminated a small area around it. There was a figure half lying on the huge bed.
Mu Chenyu walked to the bed and sat down, looking at the old man who was half-lying against the bed.
"Grandpa." Mu Chenyu called.
The old man who was thinking about something with his eyes closed was interrupted by the call. When he opened his eyes, he was still a little confused. It seemed that it took him a while to see clearly who was sitting next to the bed.
"Chenyu." Mu Kuiyuan called, "Where are they?"
Mu Chenyu's face showed relief, "They are all outside. You have a good rest and take good care of your health."
Mu Kuiyuan's strength to speak was much weaker than before, but he was still concerned about the situation of the children. He had watched them grow up, and each one was as valuable as his finger.
"How is Luoluo? Where is Nuanxi?"
Until now, the old man has never seen Mu Kun, and he doesn't know about Mu Kun's injury. It's ridiculous that during the Nan family dinner, the Mu family lost all their people.
"Everything is fine. Luoluo is resting at home. The doctor said she was just frightened and just rests well. As for Nuanxi, you don't have to worry. She is fine." Mu Chenyu raised his hand and lifted the quilt for the old man.
Hearing that his grandson was comforting him, Mu Kuiyuan had a smile on his face.
Since he can't see the old man earlier, Mu Chenyu naturally ask Mu Ting. After following Mu Kuiyuan for so many years, there is nothing about the old man that Mu Ting doesn't know.
Mu Chenyu naturally knew all about the dusty past.
"I know what you want to say, don't worry, I will protect the Mu family." Mu Chenyu looked at the burning eyes of the old man.
Mu Kuiyuan reached out to him and gently held his grandson's hand.
"Don't force everything." Mu Kuiyuan said in a soothing tone, and looked at Mu Chenyu with a little more determination in his eyes, "I used to run around to protect the Mu family, so I naturally know what price you have to pay in order to get what you want. You also know more clearly what kind of situation Mu's is facing now, and how heavy the pressure is on you."
Besieged on all sides and surrounded by dangers.
The fact that Wen Li was able to cut off the entire Mu family's financial chain in one fell swoop was enough to prove her strength, and it was no longer a good idea to confront her head-on now.
"It should not be too late for Mu to apply for bankruptcy now. After selling off all the properties in our name and paying off all the debts, there should still be some money left. This money is enough for you to live on. Chenyu, your grandfather watched you grow up. I know you are holding back a lot of energy in your heart and want to prove your ability to everyone, but people always have to accept their fate."
Mu Chenyu held the old man's hand without exerting any strength, and simply supported the palm.
From the day he brought Wen Li back to the Mu family, he felt in his heart that that wild girl who grew up in the countryside was not worthy of joining the Mu family. Such a person would only bring shame to the Mu family.
But he didn't expect that the Mu family actually owed that child.
"I have never done anything wrong in the first half of my life, but this is the only thing I will remember for the rest of my life. It is like a shackles that have trapped me. Now this shackles can be released. That child is a kind-hearted person and will not show off her anger to innocent people. If I pay a corresponding price, she will naturally not make things difficult for you. To put it bluntly, I will always owe her."
"What do you want to do?" Mu Chenyu panicked.
"Someone has to pay the price for this matter. This is also my sin." Mu Kuiyuan took a long breath and looked at him very seriously, "Take good care of your younger brother and sisters. I once wanted to guide them onto the right path, always thinking that they are still children, and it is okay to be a bit more arrogant. But now it seems that it was my acquiescence that made them become like this. You still have a long way to go. There is no need to spend your next life compensating for the grudges of the previous generation."
Even today, Mu Kuiyuan still misses those children, the children he saw growing up.
For the first time in his life, Mu Chenyu lowered his proud head and said, "Grandpa, I will guard the Mu family and protect them. You can rest in peace and recover, and don't think about anything else."
From the day he took over the Mu family, he knew how heavy the burden was on his shoulders. Now he remembered what Wen Li said that day.
As the leader of the Mu family, he was unable to resolve the crisis. This was due to his incompetence and he could not blame anyone.
If he could predict the crisis more accurately and have stronger control ability, Mu would not become a piece of meat on the chopping board to be slaughtered.
"I will definitely protect the Mu family." His eyes were firm.
Outside the door, the atmosphere in the entire small living room was very heavy. Ever since Mr. Mu fell ill, Mu Chenxing came straight back from school to watch over him.
At this moment, the whole door was occupied by Mu Kun's family. Mu Kun, who was sitting in the middle, looked up at the door from time to time, then lowered his head and sighed.
Aunt Ruan came from the kitchen and whispered, "Lunch is ready."
The family members were obviously not in the mood to eat in the past two days, so the kitchen only cooked appetizing meals. It didn't matter if one of them fell ill, but the whole Mu family couldn't fall down with him.
Lu Xue looked at her husband opposite, "Honey, let's go get something to eat first."
"I have no appetite, you can go over there." Mu Kun waved his hand and refused.
He had said so, so of course Lu Xue could only let Aunt Ruan go there first. Even if her husband didn't like her, she, as a wife, would definitely have to accompany him.
However, Lu Xue became more and more angry as she thought about it. Who would have known that that wild girl was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger behind her back, and forcefully dragged Mu into hell.
"It's all that dead girl. Don't let me seize the opportunity. I have to teach her a lesson." Lu Xue's eyes were burning with fire.
If Wen Li were here now, she would be eager to pounce on that dead girl and bite her to death.
"What's the use of talking so much? Now that Mu is being restrained by her, we still have to obey her." Mu Nuanxi lowered her head to adjust the pearl bracelet on her hand.
"Husband, isn't there any other way?" Lu Xue stamped her feet angrily.
Could it be that she had to watch helplessly as the entire Mu family fell into the hands of that stinky girl, and their whole family went to the streets to beg for food?
This is absolutely not okay.
Mu Chenxing looked at his sister and father, lowered his head and said nothing, but his right hand couldn't stop grabbing the armrest of the chair under him.
"She's just a bratty girl. So what if she's the president of Nangtry? As long as Mu's capital chain can be reconnected, am I still afraid of her?" Mu Kun dismissed her.
Of course Lu Xue also knows this truth, but now it is impossible for Mu to get loans from other companies or banks.
Even if he didn't take Nangtry's investment, Wen Li would still hold his throat tightly and be unable to move.
"Dad, the fact that you have made it this far and doubled the size of the Mu family based on grandpa's ability is enough to prove that you have strong skills and will not lose to a wild girl at this time. Sometimes, when you should be cruel, you cannot be soft at all, otherwise you will be at the mercy of others."
She was referring to what happened last time in Fangxi Town. At that time, Mu Kun and Mu Chenyu went out together to prevent her from attacking Wen Li. If they hadn't gone there, Wen Li would have been dead.
It's a joke that someone could come out to go against the Mu family.
"I know, I underestimated the enemy last time, but I won't do it this time." Mu Kun sneered.
In order to save Mu's family, Nangtry's investment is not the only way. Even if Wen Li holds shares, as long as we don't attract investment from her, she will not have the opportunity to hold a shareholders' meeting in a short time.
Mu Chenyu opened the door and walked out, taking a deep look at his father, "Dad, grandpa let you in."
Mu Kun hurriedly walked into the room, and Mu Chenyu could still hear his hurried footsteps after closing the door.
Seeing her son's dejected state, Lu Xue still felt distressed. Now the person in the entire Mu family who was under the greatest psychological pressure was Mu Chenyu.
"Son, let's go get something to eat first. You've been so busy these days that you haven't had a good rest. This man has lost weight right before his eyes." Lu Xue pulled her son towards the dining room.
Mu Nuanxi also got up from her chair and went to the dining room. Mu Chenxing, who followed closely behind, looked back at the door of the room.
He had not come back to his senses after listening to what Butler Mu said about the Grandpa of Wen Li, but Mu Ting also took him into consideration and did not go into too much detail.
But he still heard the name of the famous Wen Yanxing clearly. Wen Li's grandfather was Wen Yanxing, and the original energy chip that the Mu family relied on was also given to him by Wen Yanxing.
How ironic. He looked down on Wen Li the most at the beginning, but the Mu family relied on the Wen family to get where they are today. Those things he was proud of were snatched from others and stained with the blood of others. This made him unable to accept.
After all, Mu Chenxing is just an eighteen-year-old child, and many of his cognitions only remain in his own concepts.
"Chenyu, what did your grandfather tell you?" Lu Xue looked at Mu Chenyu.
The latter shook his head, picked up the bowl and took a bite of food, his face heavy.
"Brother, did grandpa ask you not to fight with Wen Li?" Mu Nuanxi hit the nail on the head.
The old man meant that the Mu family owed Wen Li a lot. After he went to plead guilty and punished, he hoped that they would not confront Wen Li again and Wen Li would not implicate innocent people.
"To this day, grandpa still believes that Wen Li is a good person? She almost surrounded the entire Mu family and forced us to death. Even if Mu takes the chip, so what? Her company wasn't robbed by us, it was her who got lost. What does it have to do with anyone else?" Every word Mu Nuanxi said was harder to hear.
When Mu Chenxing heard the last part, he couldn't even eat. It was obvious that Wen Li was thrown away by his sister.
But until now, she can still clear away all the sins with her eyes closed. This is no longer the gentle, quiet, generous and kind sister he remembered.
"Brother, our family has no other options. As long as we can get the new energy chip from Lei Yuan, our Mu family can stand up again with this reputation." Mu Nuanxi said.
These words gave Mu Chenyu a wake-up call, but he had approached Professor Lei more than once, and Lei Yuan had already issued a statement that it was impossible to give the chip to the Mu family under any circumstances.
This left him a little helpless. Lei Yuan and his grandfather were friends in the early years, and he had heard some of those rumors.
It is only said that grandpa later married a wife who was Lei Yuan's fiancée, and therefore became estranged from Lei Yuan. Over the years, Lei Yuan's studio has intentionally or unintentionally targeted the Mu family.
Mu Kuiyuan also told him to leave it alone. Lei Yuan was a talent. If he was not trapped by love, he could bring great development to the Mu family.
"But now Wen Li has joined Lei Yuan's laboratory, and the chips released immediately after Mu's capital chain broke, there are also problems. Lei Yuan is probably on the same side as Wen Li now." Mu Nuanxi reminded.
If Mu Kuiyuan hadn't kept Mu Chenyu away from Lei Yuan and been prepared against Lei Yuan over the years, none of this would have happened today.
"So no matter what, we still have to find a way to deal with Wen Li." Mu Nuanxi said immediately.
Mu Kun came out of the study with his face covered, his face that was already not so good now became even more gloomy.
Seeing his appearance, Mu Ting stepped forward and handed him an ice pack and asked him to apply ice. "Master is confused with anger now. Don't be angry."
Mu Kun angrily took the ice pack and pressed it on his face, then sat forward in his seat.
"Chenyu, we must find a way to save ourselves."
From Li Mengluo to Mu Nuanxi, and then to his hands, the entire Mu family was turned upside down by that girl. If he didn't take risks at this time, Mu would not be able to save her life anyway. It's not like he had not done these things before.
He wouldn't mind doing it again.
......
At night, the stars are sparse, and the crescent moon in the sky becomes more and more plump and gradually becomes rounder.
Country G has a three-day holiday today, and most of the students have left school to travel, so the entire school is sparsely staffed, and the usually bustling Cultural Square is now deserted.
In the southeast corner of the research institute, Lei Yuan suspended all research and gave the researchers an unprecedented holiday. At this time, there were only two people in the entire research institute, Lei Yuan and Xu Mingjian.
During normal classes, few students would dare to come near the institute, let alone the room now. The neighborhood here is quieter than in the mountains.
"You've never been willing to touch your tea, so why are you willing to make it for me today?" Xu Mingjian stared at Lei Yuan's action of making tea.
This tea is an old thing that Lei Yuan has hidden for more than ten years. He never wants to let anyone touch it. Putting it here is almost like a treasure in the museum.
Why is he so generous today?
"Try it carefully after I brew it for you. Don't disappoint this old man." Lei Yuan filled the tea cup for him.
"Okay, I'll also have a good taste of what your treasure tastes like."
Xu Mingjian looked at him and felt something was wrong. From the day Mu's family was in crisis, something was wrong with Lei Yuan.
"Can you still hold on?" he asked, worry evident in his brows.
"After waiting for so many years, how could I not be able to hold on at this critical moment? You underestimate me too much."
Xu Mingjian was also there when Mu Kun came to the institute two days ago. Mu Kun offered a sky-high price and was even willing to give Lei Yuan Mu's shares just to get the chip in his hand.
As long as there is that thing, Mu will definitely be able to survive.
"I have already written my will. You can give it to that girl after I die." Lei Yuan looked at the increasingly plump moon in the sky.
"Why are you saying such unlucky words? You can still live for a long time." Xu Mingjian said strangely.
Lei Yuan smiled, with a clear understanding of the world in his eyes, "I know my own body well. I know whether it can hold on and how long it can last. I just have to make plans early."
He was originally going to donate those things to the country in accordance with Wen Yanxing's last wish, but Wen Yanxing's granddaughter is still there, so it stands to reason that it should be his granddaughter who decides where these things go.
The tea cup in Lei Yuan's hand was gently placed on the table, and a huge sound came, like the sound of something breaking.
The two looked around and saw Mu Kun walking in.
The men in black behind him moved quickly to surround the entire courtyard. Mu Kun hung up his wrist and walked steadily in front of Lei Yuan and Xu Mingjian step by step.
"Professor Lei, you are living a pleasant life. You still have time to drink tea." Mu Kun bent down and picked up the teacup on the table.
The visitor was evil, this was Xu Mingjian's first feeling after seeing his people break in.
These people stood in various corners of the yard one by one, always watching their movements to see what Mu Kun was going to do.
"Professor Lei, I told you last time, I wonder if you have already thought about it." Mu Kun sat down opposite them, playing with the white porcelain cup in his hand.
Lei Yuan's face remained calm, "I have already said that it is impossible for me to cooperate with your Mu family no matter what."
Mu Kun threw the cup in his hand on the table and said regretfully, "It's a pity. I gave you the chance but you didn't want it. Don't blame me."
As soon as Mu Kun finished speaking, Sun Min, who was guarding the yard, led a team of people into the laboratory and smashed open all the doors that could not be broken through.
In order to cope with this, they were fully prepared and brought complete tools.
"Mu Kun, do you know what you are doing? You are committing banditry. I can put you in jail just for this!" Xu Mingjian stood up in a hurry.
Mu Kun looked at the calm Lei Yuan and laughed out loud, "Since I dare to come, how can I give you room to fight back? If you don't drink a toast, you will be fined. This is what you asked for."
"You mean, if you don't stop robbing things, do you still want to kill us?" Xu Mingjian stared at him.
Mu Kun shook his head and raised his hand that had already lit the cigar, "The cause of your death was the fire, not me. After I get the things, naturally I can't keep this place."
As long as everything has been done, no matter how you clean it up, there will be evidence. In this case, it is not as satisfying as burning it with fire.
Xu Mingjian's eyes widened and he raised his finger to point at him and cursed, "You crazy beast, you actually want to kill someone!!"
Lei Yuan stood up and pulled Xu Mingjian over to sit down. Compared to his excitement, Lei Yuan was calmer.
"He is doing the same thing as his father. The unscrupulousness is the predatory and despicable nature of the Mu family. No matter what you say, it is useless."
Mu Kun frowned slightly after hearing this, and then sarcastically said, "Do you still remember the hatred of seizing your wife back then? Why don't you think about it, if you weren't so useless, why would your fiancée leave you?
There are no eternal feelings in this world, only eternal interests. This is the dogma that Mu Kun has always pursued.
"You can't keep what's yours, so don't blame her for finding someone else."
The people behind Mu Kun had already started pouring alcohol on the yard, and the pungent smell filled the entire yard.
Sun Min successfully found the chip on the third floor, copied all the data on the computer, brought all the paper information, and packed it into four or five boxes.
"Sir, I found it." Sun Min handed over the chip.
Mu Kun looked at the black iron piece at his fingertips, such a small piece of iron could save the entire Mu family from fire and water.
"You preserved Wen Yanxing's chip so well. I guess he would be very pleased to know that the second-generation chip he left behind can help Mu again. Mu Kun twisted the thing on his fingertips.
"Brother Wen, if he really has a spirit in the sky, he should send your Mu family to hell!" Lei Yuan looked at him with wide eyes.
"Hahaha..." Mu Kun raised his head and laughed, "Of course, I still remember how hideous and unbelievable he looked when he died."
Lei Yuan was shocked, "What did you say?"
Mu Kun put away the chip and sneered, "I'm not afraid to tell you that I killed Wen Yanxing, and he died in my hands."
Lei Yuan rushed over, but was stopped by the bodyguard next to him, "Mu Kun! How dare you do this!!"
He thought that Wen Yanxing's death had something to do with Mu Kuiyuan and the Mu family, but he didn't expect that Mu Kun would dare to admit it in front of him.
"If he hadn't gone back on his word and wanted to take away Wen Li, I would not have done anything to him. He asked for it. As long as he is alive for one day, the chip will never completely belong to the Mu family. I will never tolerate such a risk."
The Mu family relied on the original chip. Even if Wen Yanxing willingly gave the chip to the Mu family, the ownership was still in Wen Yanxing's hands, but the inheritance rights were in Wen Li's hands. Compared to Wen Yanxing, Wen Li, who was still a child at that time, was more easily manipulated.
In addition, Wen Li has become a child of the Mu family, and Wen Yanxing has no heir in the legal sense. If he dies, the chip will be tightly held in the hands of the Mu family.
"My dad can't see clearly, but I can tell clearly that he is dragged down by his relationship with Wen Yanxing. Only those who can be cruel can get the best things!"
"Mu Kun! You bastard! You're such an ambitious beast!" Lei Yuan wanted to hook his arm and bite his neck off, but he was powerless.
Mu Kun stood up and said, "Go down and spend some time with your brother Wen. The dispute between the Mu family and you ends now."
Everything ends in death.
"Light the fire." Mu Kun said.
When the fire in Sun Min's hand was about to hit the ground, Lei Yuan spoke.
"Do you think what you got is a real chip?"
Mu Kun turned around and stared at the man with a strange smile, his heart skipped a beat, "What did you say?"
"You think you can cover the sky with one hand. The Mu family is desperate. That child is blocking all your escape routes. Based on my understanding of your Mu family, no matter what you do, you will open a breakthrough through me. I will not stupidly put the real chip and all the experimental data here waiting for you to get it."
Mu Kun smashed the thing on the ground with a bang, strode forward and grabbed his collar, "Lei Yuan, I have underestimated you."
"I have handed over the chip to that child. There is a blood feud. She will not let you go. Mu Kun, even if you kill me today, I have done everything I should do. The Mu family will only have to pay a higher price." Lei Yuan had a calm smile on his face.
Xu Mingjian understood that Lei Yuan had been dormant for many years and had never expressed his hatred towards the Mu family. He had never revealed his doubts about Wen Yanxing's death in front of Mu Kuiyuan. He was just waiting for the opportunity to strike.
Even Mu Kuiyuan has always believed that Lei Yuan's hatred for the Mu family was the hatred for his wife, not anything else.
"You think I can't do anything if you leave it to her? I can kill Wen Yanxing, but do you think I'm afraid of his granddaughter?" Mu Kun stared at Lei Yuan.
Lei Yuan pried open his fingers that were holding his clothes one by one, with a fearless expression on his face, "Don't you dare. That child is much stronger than you and me. You were able to lose her back then, but things are different now."
"Okay, I'll burn you to death first and then go find her. You can wait below to reunite with her!" Mu Kun threw Lei Yuan to the ground hard.
He rushed towards the door of the courtyard with his people, but was blocked before he could go out.
"Where is Mr. Mu going in such a hurry?" Xia Chen led the people inside and successfully blocked their path.
"You are..." Mu Kun narrowed his eyes, remembering who this person was.
It was the young man who was following Wen Li.
"Get out of my way!" Mu Kun pointed at his nose.
Xia Chen turned sideways, and Wen Li slowly walked out with her hands behind her back, "Are you going to find me?"
Time stopped abruptly. Sun Min put away the lighter in his hand and looked at Wen Li who suddenly appeared with wide eyes.
This girl appeared here, and the time was so accurate, she must have known that they were coming.
In this way, every move of all of them is in her calculations.
Such thoughtful thinking is really terrifying.
