Mu XueLin’s look stiffened. Finally, he fished out his cellphone and dialed a series of number. After a while, the call was picked up on the other end. He only said one line, “Take care of that woman.”

Xu WanZhi finally understood why Mu ZhenYu had let Wang LiZhen go the other day.

Recalling the scars on Mu ZhenYu, all of them caused by Wang LiZhen. His other lost her sight from crying too much and died after that. His grandfather died during his most difficult time in life. How would he let Wang LiZhen go and spend her time comfortably in prison?

It was because he wasn’t going to dirty his own hands. He knew about this all along and purposefully did not bring it up. He even told Mu XueLin that he had a surprise waiting for him.

He knew all along that Mu XueLin would want Wang LiZhen dead when he found out the true. That way, all he needed to do was to sit and watch.

Xu WanZhi admired him more and more now.

As this was their private family matters, Xu WanZhi no longer wished to continue listening to the rest of them. Nor did she want to make the situation more difficult for the Mu’s. She stood up and said, “ZhenYu, Mr. Mu, I have somewhere else to be so I am taking off now. You two carry on with your conversation.”

Having said that, she walked out with her purse and departed from Huanyu.

Outside of Huanyu, she didn’t see her nanny van. Xu WanZhi found that odd so she gave Xiao Yuan a call. It rang for a long while but Xiao Yuan did not pick up. After she hung up, she received a text from her phone, letting her know that the car was in the underground parking lot.

Xu WanZhi went back inside of Huanyu and went down to the underground parking lot. She walked over to the location that Xiao Yuan had texted her and saw her large nanny van.

She got into the backseat as usual, tossed her purse aside, and asked, “Well, Xiao Yuan, you got any good news for me?”

Who would have thought? Her car had tinted car windows so it was impossible to see the inside from the outside. She just noticed that the one sitting in the passenger seat was not Xiao Yuan but Mu XiYuan.

He pulled out a sharp knife and pointed it straight at Xu WanZhi. “No, I don’t have any good news. I have a lot of bad news though.”

At this distance, Xu WanZhi could easily have him under control with her magic. But she didn’t want to do that. She wanted to find out what was his plan. She sneered. “You are the son of Ms. Wang LiZhen. Both of you enjoy this kidnapping trope. Say, are you working with Mu XueLin to get Mu ZhenYu away from me?”

“Something like that, but I am not working with that old idiot.” Mu XiYuan cocked her head and told the driver to start the car. “Oh, sister-in-law, there are certain things that even if Mu ZhenYu had found out he should not have shared that information. That way perhaps I’d still let him live. Once things get ugly, don’t blame me for being ruthless. The old man had already told him man in prison to act. I don’t think my mom is going to make it. Say, how should I take that out on you?”

From what Mu XiYuan was saying, it’d seem that he knew all along that he wasn’t the son of Mu XueLin. He was an accessory to Wang LiZhen in scheming Mu XueLin out of his money. Now that his plan has been exposed, who knew what he was planning on doing next. Xu WanZhi sat quietly in the backseat, waiting to see what his next move was.
