Chapter 854: Chapter 852: An Unexpected Appearance, A Powerful Sense of Oppression
“Mu Chengxi has nothing now, so why, why should he compete with me for the position of family head of the Mu family? It was supposed to be mine.”
Mu Jingang cried out hoarsely to Old Madam Mu, but Old Madam Mu didn’t indulge him at all, picking up a nearby water cup and smashing it against Mu Jingang’s face.
“Calm down, calm down! What’s the use of throwing a fit here? The identity of the family head was decided by your father. You know the rules of the Mu family, once chosen, unless he is dead, no replacement is allowed.”
“Mu Jingang, do you think I don’t know about those awful things you’ve done? Aligning with those Mu family shareholders to oppose Mu Chengxi, don’t you realize how disgraceful your behavior looks in the eyes of outsiders?”
“You used illegitimate means to forcefully hold shares, and the complaints have reached me from the collateral branches. If it wasn’t for me willing to shoulder the pressure, do you think you’d be where you are today?”
“I know that ever since your father left, all you’ve thought about is how to assume control of the Mu family, but don’t forget that your father made his decisions after much consideration, and he had his reasons for training an heir.”
A glass of water and Old Madam Mu’s speech successfully calmed Mu Jingang down, but the hatred in his eyes only grew.
“Since Mu Chengxi has already handed over the Mu Group to you, do well with it. Don’t even think about the role of family head. It’s not that you aren’t suitable, but there’s simply no room for turning back now.”
Old Madam Mu massaged her temples with a headache and motioned to two bodyguards standing not far away.
“Escort Senior Mr. Mu out and arrange for a car for the butler to go to the hospital.”
Old Madam Mu glanced at the butler, who had been lying on the bench for a long time without getting up, and immediately shouted loudly, hoping that people outside could come in quickly to check on the butler’s condition.
Following Old Madam Mu’s orders, the two bodyguards walked up to Mu Jingang, gesturing politely yet firmly, coercing him to leave Old Madam Mu’s yard quickly.
Mu Jingang seemed to have given up on Old Madam Mu’s partiality, forcefully shrugging off the person pushing him, wiped the tea stains from his face, and left Old Madam Mu’s yard without looking back.
Seeing Mu Jingang leave, Old Madam Mu quickly stood up with Auntie Fu’s assistance and walked over to the butler, “How are you? Are you okay? I’ve already asked them to prepare the car, they’ll be back soon.”
Old Madam Mu observed the butler’s forehead break out in sweat from the pain, her expression turning even angrier.
“This unfilial son, he really went too far. If he comes to the old residence again, just throw him out directly. He does not exist to me here!”
Afterward, it was a flurry of activity as the butler was carried by two bodyguards and placed in a car, taken straight to the hospital.
After sending off the butler, Old Madam Mu sat on the sofa, her chest slowly heaving. Auntie Fu could tell at a glance that Old Madam was quite upset.
Auntie Fu sat beside Old Madam Mu and gently soothed her, “Old Madam, if there’s any discomfort, please don’t tough it out. If you don’t want to bother Miss Wen, I’ll ask the driver to bring Master Zhuge to see you.”
Old Madam gently raised her hand to indicate no, but did not speak. She felt that a little rest was all she needed.
Mu Chengxi drove Wen Xin to the base of the Kunshan Group Corporation building. He looked at Wen Xin, serious, “I’m asking again, do you really not need me to accompany you up in your current condition?”
“No need, under these circumstances, they can’t do anything to me anyway. You should know what I’m best at.”
Wen Xin said as she drew closer to Mu Chengxi, gently kissing his cheek, “Don’t worry about me. You go handle your business, and once I’m done here, I’ll give you a call.”
After the kiss, Wen Xin stepped back from Mu Chengxi, raised her eyebrows, then got out of the car and walked straight toward the office building of Kunshan Group Corporation.
The office building of Kunshan Group Corporation extensively utilizes artificial intelligence to its limits. Anyone with a scheduled appointment can easily enter the building without having their identity checked.
This artificial intelligence technology had been implemented in both biology and physics laboratories as early as twenty years ago.
Before entering Kunshan Group Corporation, Wen Xin had already tampered with their artificial intelligence system, allowing her unrestricted access. No one noticed her presence as she walked in.
Following the information provided by Xiao Ci, Wen Xin went directly to the floor where Wen Yunuo was located and successfully materialized outside his office.
At that moment, a secretary noticed Wen Xin. She immediately checked the president’s appointment records for the day and found no reservations, leaving her somewhat puzzled.
“Excuse me, miss, which company are you from? Our president is still in a meeting. What time is your appointment? I can help you check and ask about the president’s availability,” the secretary asked very politely, believing that anyone who could appear here must have certain credentials. She was convinced that if this person were not within the scope of the artificial system’s records, she couldn’t have reached this place.
Wen Xin looked at the secretary, who approached with a professional smile, and replied calmly, “I’m here to see Wen Yunuo, and I need to see him now.”
Hearing Wen Xin call out Wen Yunuo’s name directly, the secretary was momentarily stunned. Coming from Independent State, it was her first time hearing someone address the elder son of the Wen family so casually.
“Miss, please wait a moment while I inform him…” As she spoke, the secretary sat at the desk, picked up the phone, and was about to dial the president’s office.
However, before she could make the call, Wen Xin abruptly disconnected it. A flash of metal gleamed between Wen Xin’s fingers, causing the secretary to sit still in shock, her eyes wide with fear, not expecting such an event to occur.
Wen Xin took the ID badge hanging from the secretary’s neck, held it in her hand, and gave the secretary a wickedly teasing smile.
“I’ll borrow your work card for a moment. You’ll be able to move once I’m out, so don’t worry,” she said.
After speaking, Wen Xin used the secretary’s badge and gently tapped it against the magnetic strip on the door of Wen Yunuo’s office, which opened promptly.
Wen Yunuo, who was inside the office talking with Xiao Ci, heard the door open and frowned in displeasure. He was about to chide the intruder but suddenly lost his voice.
Xiao Ci sensed something was amiss, turned his head to look at the door, and his eyes widened in shock, apparently not expecting Wen Xin to show up.
“Little… princess?”
