Chapter 145 - She knew she’s in love with Mu ZhenYu; she just missed the chance to tell it to him. (1)

Inside the spacious nanny van, there were still two extra seats behind Xu WanZhi. Two of Mu XiYuan’s underlings sat there. Both of them in black. Both of them masked.

Under the threat posted by Mu XiYuan’s knife, Xu WanZhi didn’t do much in terms of struggling. The two men tied up her arms and legs and even had her eyes covered up.

The car drove for about half an hour. Toward the second half of their journey, the road became very ruggedly and they bounced up and down over it. They must have driven to some remote locations.

After they have arrived at their destination, the car slowly came to a stop. Someone carried Xu WanZhi out of the car, walked over to a room with a pungent smell, and tied her up on a chair.

The mask over her eyes was yanked off violently. Xu WanZhi looked around and it seemed like she was placed in a storeroom that had once held seafood. There weren’t a lot of extra items around except for a few large metal thermal boxes.

Standing not too far away from her, Mu XiYuan had been texting nonstop, most likely confirming with his underlings as to their next steps. Xu WanZhi couldn’t quite figure out what his next steps were going to be but also worried that if he didn’t start talking soon, the more time went by, the more dangerous it would be for Mu ZhenYu. She wet her dried lips a little and be the first to break the silence. “Did you kidnap me because you had misplaced your trust in Qin Sheng and went bankrupt and decided to take a page from Ms. Wang LiZhen’s book and blackmail Mu ZhenYu for a large amount? I am curious though. Exactly how much are you going to ask for?”

Xu WanZhi knew that Mu XiYuan wasn’t going to engage with her initially. But she knew that Mu XiYuan was a conceited person who always bragged that he was smarter and better at scheming than his brother. And that was why she purposefully made him sound stupid. Sure enough, Mu XiYuan took the bait and couldn't help but turned toward her.

“My dear sister-in-law. You have so underestimated me. Money is not necessarily what everyone in this world want.” Mu XiYuan shoved his cellphone back into his pocket and smiled in contempt. Walking over to her, he said, “I’ve heard that my brother never wanted to marry that Liang ZhiQuan, which was why he hired you to play your role with him. I heard he offered $50 million straight up. Was that true?”

Xu WanZhi raised her brows. “You heard right.”

“Oh yes.” Mu XiYuan straightened up his back. “Even though you had been scheming this whole time, had the old lady on your side, and finally able to marry into a prestigious family, but… that is not what I am after. Back in my days, I almost got into Wharton. If I wanted to start over again, I don’t need Mu ZhenYu’s money. Nor do I care for his money.”

Hearing that, Xu WanZhi stuck her tongue out quickly. “Almost means you didn’t. You think just anyone can get into Wharton? What you were lacking was probably the same as how you’ve misjudged so much and placed your trust in the poor man Qin Sheng. The distance between you and Wharton was probably the same as the distance between you and Mu ZhenYu. You might think you had just missed it by a smudge when, in reality, you were way off.”

Mu XiYuan was immediately enraged. He walked up and grabbed Xu WanZhi by her collar. “Xu WanZhi, what exactly did Mu ZhenYu offered up to you? Why would you stand by him so for just $50 million? I have offered you a lot of money back in the days as well. Why wouldn’t you come over to my side?”
